I've spent quite a few bucks going through some other Nexus 7 cases out there. While I've seen some decent cases, I haven't seen anything like this. This case features 6 points that hug the tablet in place when in portrait mode. In order to position it in landscape mode, you unclip the upper left and lower left "clip", thereby allowing it to fold into landscape mode accordingly. There are two channels built into the inside of the front flap which act as a pivot joint for the bottom of the tablet to sit nicely when in landscape mode. When exiting landscape mode to go back to portrait mode, clip those two points back into place and you're good to go. The front cover actually has a similar type of clip, which is nice as it feels like an extra security measure to ensure that when the flap is closed, it stays closed.
It's a very thin case as well. Of course, it does add SOME thickness to the unit, but far less than some others I've used. I love how there is no velcro on the case. I'm sorry, but velcro wears out over time. I don't want to rely on something like velcro for the case to function. Once I saw this unit had no velcro I was immediately interested. The wake/sleep function that happens automatically when you open or close the case is fantastic as well. I never thought that such a simple feature would appeal to me, but I grew very attached to it with some previous cases I tried. Having that feature on this particular case really makes it a home run.
The price is exceptional for this unit. All too often we see phone cases selling for 30, 35 bucks, etc. That's simply robbery. It was nice to find a case for this price, as it meshes both worlds together nicely... affordability and practicality. As I mentioned, I've been case-jumping a little bit until I found a winner. Well... we're done. ;)

This case is a steal for the price. Other reviews have justifiably praised the case, and I don't want to repeat other reviews. I will make sure that you do realize that because of the little padded 'claws' which hold the tablet in place, you do not get complete wrap-around edge protection. The corners are protected, for sure, but an edge-on drop against another edge surface could scuff or damage your tablet. However, I think the vast majority of drops would be corner drops or other types of drops against which this case would be very sufficient to protect the tablet.
I really like the claws not protruding far into the bezel area. The case is reasonably light, although I will admit for extended use, I just pop out the tablet and use it without a case, and then put it back in for traveling. Certainly it is usable, but if you really want to enjoy the magical lightness and power of the Nexus 7, just pop it out of the case while using it, and leave the case for traveling or propping up to watch movies and content.
I looked at a lot of cases before buying this one, and this is the one that seems to have the fewest compromises.

This cover is great, it looks great, it protects well, and is very functional for my new Nexus 7. Everything you need in a cover and more and the MORE is the problem. Every stinking time you fold the cover back on itself (as designed) the magnetic lock screen mechanism picks up the backside of the magnet and the screen shuts off and locks. Let me tell you what, this will drive you crazy within a day or two. What is REALLY frustrating is I have read that some of these type of covers can do this so I was careful to look for the problem. However, this one clearly states, right on the description and I quote,.....Does not activate sleep mode when cover is flipped all the way back....false advertising at its best.
I see no solution other than to return it, such a shame. Why would they not fix this and why would they clearly state it is not a problem when it clearly is? I suggest until they do, that you avoid this item.
UPDATE: Rather than hassle with the return, I decided to fix this myself. The magnet is a small round disc built into the back of the lower right hand corner of the front cover just to the right of the hand strap. By cutting just a couple of stitches to the right of that area I was able to fish it out. They apparently applied a small metal backing to the back of the magnet to decrease its field when it is folded back in order to not set off the lock. (Guess what guys, didn't work). I tightly wrapped the magnet in about 4 layers of aluminum foil in order to decrease the magnetic field even more and slid it back into place and viola...it locks the device when I close it, but not when I fold it back.
Now I have a couple of torn stitches but at least it works and I have been reading that several of these types of covers have this same issue so there is no use sending it back only to have the same problem with another brand. So here is a hint to the guys that apparently actually get paid to design things like this...try some Reynolds wrap next time.
IMPORTANT UPDATE: After I posted the above review and update I received a surprised email from the manufacturer. They were very apologetic regarding the difficulty that I experienced with their product. They offered a detailed explanation and more importantly they offered to send me a brand new cover that they assured me would not suffer from the same issue. As they requested, I gave them my mailing address and as promised, one week later I received a package from them. I opened the package but it did not contain a new cover as promised. What it contained was a very small "sticker" that said BLUREX on it, stuck to a scrap piece of wax paper. I assume I was supposed to stick this to the inside of my cover to block the magnet placed in the cover but I am not sure since there were no instructions, no note, no nothing. I sent them an email asking if there was a mistake and inquiring as to the status of the replacement cover they promised but they have gone very quiet.
ONE FINAL UPDATE:After posting the above update I was contacted by the company and told I was sent the "sticker" by mistake. I did not have much faith and did not even bother to reply but a few days later a brand new cover showed up in my mail box. The difference is that this one already has the "sticker" installed. As I mentioned, their fix is to stick a small metallic sticker of their logo inside the cover in location that apparently blocks the magnetic field in such a way that it no longer shuts off when you fold the cover back on itself. I have to admit, it may not be the most elegant fix but it does work, and they did make it right in the end.
So, I am going to boost my rating of this cover back up to four stars. Just make certain that when you get one that it has the "Blurex" sticker on the inside.
