Hi all
I tried the Belking case (too thick) I tried the Samsung OEM (to thin) and now I have tried the Poetic 14 dollar Book style case (Just Right)
This is sturdy and I feel like the tablet is well protected without adding too much bulk. Its allso very easy to slide out and place in the Brodit car mount.

Nice looking. It covers the microphone doesn't it?
I bought this case too. Preordered it before it was actually manufactured. Heres my review. Love the case.
Poetic Ipad mini case
Will this case work on the 7.7?
Looks interesting.
http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-KeyBoo...354142281&sr=1-6&keywords=ipad+mini+keyboards
I don't know but for me, book-case isn't the case for Tab 7.7. I am using a hard plastic, super slim case to cover just the sides and the back, the screen protector does the job, well, for the screen. I don't know if it's just me but book-covers are for those heavy tablets (iPad3). They made this tablet so light and easily navigable. It's supposed to be held with 1-hand. I think if I am gonna put my Tab 7.7 in a book-case and put it on a table, I would always end up pushing my tablet back when trying to touch and press the screen. lol. And it would end up thicker and heavier too. I am using a book-case for my iPad3 btw, and I don't use the iPad3 ever since I got this beautiful tablet. This is what tablets are supposed to be. Handy, light and sexy. If they are gonna be as heavy as the iPad3 and be used on a table with that book-cover, I might as well use my laptop.
yeah that case is way to bulky, i am going to try a case made for an ipad mini, as the size is just slightly off. I will just try to find a way to secure it and mod the plastic on it to match up some with the power, vol, and headphone areas.
If you want a thin case I would highly recommend the SGP case. These are very thin and still provide nice protection. They are currently on sale at SGP. I will try to post pictures later.

As mentioned, here are some pictures of the SGP case. I believe it really allows you to keep the low profile of the tab. I also hav ethe Poetic case but find it too bulky. To me, the SGP is ideal. I liked it so much I actually bought two, black and the soft brown leather.

Is there any battery covers with the same matte style like the black note, but for the white note? I don't care for how smooth and susceptible to marks it is. I'm considering swapping out for the black one if there is no alternative.
I don't like the feel of the white back either very slippery.

Same here that is why I opted to get the Blue
I guess we could take the free cover and detach the front cover and just use the back.

Yes! The back of the folio case that some got for free is MUCH nicer than the stock one. Its thicker, stiffer and grippier. It has the textured feel and hatched look.
Trim through flip cover off and viola.

I had something like this for my last phone (iphone 3gs). Make sure that you take it off once in a while to clean off the dirt that stuck in all that holes; dirt could scratch the surface of the back cover from friction. The look is awesome, btw.
Thanks. Good advice. Its also the lightest case I have.

I find that applying a full body shield that is a wet application type that yields a rubbery like finish is best route. I felt the same way about it being slippery so ordered one and have it sitting on my desk now waiting to be applied. I discovered this by accident when I applied one to my Vibrant and fixed the problem I hadn't intended to remedy. I know alot of people don't like wet type because of the rubbery like finish, but this may be a plus for you at this point, I know it is for me.
My new Otter Box - Commuter Series. I find it far better than Spigen case, the feeling holding it is awesome! Recommended, well protect and not over bulky.

It came with free screen protector but I never use it as I hate SP. Hehe.
I buy at Malaysia. I believe mine is genuine, If not I not sure what to said already.
The shop I went is listed under http://kwsdis.com/location.html and KWS is listed as Malaysia Authorised Distributor at Otter Box official site.

What does the back feel like? Is it slick? The last Otterbox Commuter case I had was slick as snot and I couldn't use the phone with one hand

It's "brushed" plastic with side grips.
If you put it on a kitchen counter, and try to operate the phone and swipe the keyboard, does the phone spin? If you put it on your pant leg, does it slide off easy?
That thing is slippery as heck. I took mine back after trying it on in the car. Good lip on it though for screen protection. I also like the cut out for the S Pen, very easy to get to. But this isn't the case for me.
I also think it's very slippery. I'm going to return mine and keep using my incipio dualpro. The otterbox is fantastically tough but it's too slippery for me

I always put my phone at desk camera face up, so no slippery for me.
It is nice hold in hand than Spigen Slim Armor, but yes it is much slippery if you put at desk camera face down.
this otterbox is looking really very nice....this is not available on amazon and ebay.....did you get it from the official web site..????

Thank you for sharing the pictures.
I have a more clear idea of how bulky the Commuter Case is.
I just received the Poetic Case and they have definitely made improvements over the last case that I owned from them (Nexus 7 2012 Model)
We are all familiar what Poetic Case's look like, not much different except for the Logo. The new logo is quite stylish.

Another great addition over the older model that I had is that they have magnets built into the front cover so you can fold it up and it latches together.
I absolutely love this case for it's minimal yet stylish design, Poetic has done it again. And yes, the cover does have the open to wake functionality. Also the magnets are strong enough that the cover won't flap around.

Sadly, I do not have a food scale and the package it came in was a generic plastic sleeve bag with no specs.

If you have a postal scale or any scale that weighs in grams, that would work too.
I bought and returned this case. Due to the mfg process it smelled disgusting, Beware of quality issues. I called the onlime store i bought it from and he checked his inventory and vverified that they allnhad this issue. it was horrific.

I bought 2 styles from the manufacture website and the Slimline arrived with that dead fish smell but I did not use it for about 3 days and now that smell is gone. The other one I got from them was the GraphGrip and I love that one more.
I have this exact case in FULL Leather
so the one I have looks EXACTLY the same however the only difference with mine is the entire case is leather, not plastic in the back, and it weighs 7.13grams. hope that helps. And i Love it as well, looks and feels great, not heavy at all, and definitely NO bad odors. lol

I bought the poetic slimline case also. After having the samsung case on my note 8 I didn't like the poetic case. It doesn't sit the tablet up well in landscape mode and it's also a bit bulky. Makes getting to the volume and power button a little bit of a pain too. So I bought a Samsung case for my tab pro. Much happier now

This case is great except that when you fold the cover back the sharp edge is a bit uncomfortable on your skin - I.e., its sharp. Also there is no stylus holder and a stylus comes in quite handy to keep the screen clean.
Hi! just like to share with you guys that those "0.3mm" slim cases that are in online shops like eBay fits perfectly in the DK36 charging dock
also, the phone still feels good in the hand while the case is on as it has almost no impact in size.

the DK36 has 2 slot sizes right? I'm using the slightly wider one.
i bought one of these 0.3mm cases and it fits in my dock no problem
The issue is that its a bit slippy in your hand compared to a gel cover and the bottom edge of the glass is unprotected whilst the top edge of fine.
I dont know why they designed it like that as it leaves the bottom edge exposed
you can see it in this picture

Hi guys,
one thing that annoys me is the rounded back of the nexus. When you lay it on the table it turns left and right when scrolling onehandedly....this is really nerveracking.
At the moment I use one of them TPU cases but this has the same rounding and thus the same turning.
Are there any (non-flip) covers that tackle this?
Cheers
check out the ringke fusion case. I love it and solved that issue for me
look at diztronic case, is not totally flat but helps to make N6 more stable
http://www.amazon.it/Diztronic-Matt...=1449071789&sr=8-1&keywords=diztronic+nexus+6
Cheers guys...but both cases are rounded too, how does it solve it?
The Poetic Revolution has a flat back. It has some pegs on the inside back wall that are holding the phone in place. Great case, except for the flat buttons but you can get used to those.
I had this one...
http://www.amazon.com/Evocel®-Prote...merchant-items&ie=UTF8&qid=1450211642&sr=1-31
Makes the phone flat, but pretty bulky, and no longer feels like a luxury item in this case.
Hi guys, thanks again for all those tips....
Got myself this one now :
Nillkin Slim Armor Bumper Rahmen-Schutzhülle, stoßfest, für Google Nexus, 6 https://www.amazon.de/dp/B00T2R9V7A/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_hnACwb693RZ0W
It is perfect, no rocking and turning, the phone lies firmly on those two bars running from the backsides' top to bottom.
Only downside is that you now can see the white back case which I bought accidently but kept.

The Ringke FUSION has a ring around the nexus logo that effectively stabilizes the phone. It is not perfectly stable, but ends up being fine for light usage of the phone when it's laying on a table. See this picture (found via google image search) for a better view of how it works.

Is that frame around the Nexus-Word indented? If so then yes, that should indeed work as well.
I'm sure someone could 3D print a case with enough incentive. I would pay decent money for a case that flattens the phone so I wouldn't have to give up my airdock

Indeed. If it had a matte soft touch feel (like the Nexus5), and if it filled in the curves without adding much height to the hump on the back, that'd be great. It'd be thin in the middle, thicker on the sides of the back where the curve goes up.
The problem with the Nillkin Slim Armor Bumper is that it does add some height above the back area. If it had half the height off the back, it'd still be a fine case. Sometimes I'm tempted to find a belt sander and smooth it down a bit on my own.
Evocel and Ranz on amazon are both flat backs
That Ranz case is the worst piece of crap I ever bought. I threw it away immediately after I got it.
