Fintie Dual-View Multi Angle Leather Folio Case for Google Nexus 7 Tablet with Auto Wake/Sleep Feat

This case is a good looking in brown/black. The brown part has a little more tack which is a nice touch. The case also has an elastic band holder on the side which holds a stylus, another nice touch. The case can prop up the tablet in portrait and landscape as long as you use the velcro correctly. Overall, the case fits the Nexus 7 snugly with adequate protection.

However, this is where it goes downhill. The unit I received doesn't close the flap all the way down on the top right side, but it does on the bottom right. I guess there is a problem with the magnet in that particular area in my case. I see a weird S outline in the brown leather part, almost like dried hot glue. Also, MAPS AND COMPASS DO NOT WORK WHILE USING THIS CASE, it makes the sensors in the Nexus 7 go crazy. In Maps, my pointer would be spiraling or be pointing in the completely wrong direction... Not good!

This case isn't perfect, but it is very nice for the low price range. I'm writing this review because from the pictures it's not completely obvious how it works. Essentially, there are two parts: an inner sleeve that wraps completely around the Nexus 7 and an outer cover. The inner sleeve is completely detachable from the outer cover and its back is covered in "soft" velcro. The sleeve is almost a case on its own, and is pleasant enough to hold, feeling soft and fuzzy. It also has a pen/stylus holder (black elastic you see in the pictures on the upper right) and four small velcro tabs.

The sleeve attaches to the cover through a long strip of "rough" velcro, most easily seen in the orange color pictures. Since the entire back of the sleeve can stick to the velcro, it can be positioned in various ways. When upright, the four small velcro tabs keep the bottom of the screen from sliding around the cover.

One other note is that there are speaker holes in the sleeve but NOT in the cover. When used apart from the cover, you get ~100% speaker (not quite 100% since they are holes, not a slot). When open like a book, the speakers are muffled. When upright and landscape, you get 50% muffled speakers. Finally, when upright and portrait, the sleeve holes are fully exposed.

Caveats of the case? Well, considering the price they are minor:

1) The design of the sleeve makes it hard to hit the edge of the Nexus screen. There are several covers with this limitation. I don't think I've seen any rotating covers that do not surround the screen, though, so it's just a trade-off to be aware of.

2) The workmanship isn't perfect. Note there is a two-star review of someone whose cover didn't close perfectly. My cover is fine but the Nexus sat a little crooked in the sleeve before I gave it some extra tweaking. The sleeve isn't perfectly square.

3) The magnetic on/off feature works great! But, it can interfere with your compass. Since the magnet is in the cover, just remove the sleeve from the cover if you need an accurate reading.

I spent a LOT of time looking at cases on Amazon. Keep in mind that many of the $20-$30 cases are equivalent to $10 cases, just different branding! Have fun finding something you like. :)

I bought this for my son's Nexus. He is four and could care less about what it looks like, but there was one thing I didn't like. The case covers up too much of the screen. There is a slide down notification bar at the top of the nexus screen that you cant reach without having to dig up under the cover. Other than that, I have no complaints. It surrounds the Nexus and protects it from falls.
