Hi all, I was looking to invest in a rotating case for my 7.7 (when I get one!).
Like this one on eBay here.
Has anyone tried these sorts of cases? What's your verdict? Ultimately I'd prefer something like this but it seems it only comes in sizes for the 7.0 Plus.
I have the rotating case and for me is better than the genuine case. I don't mind the slightly extra bulkiness. Thrown my genuine case into the drawer. Only my experience.
In my opinion I like better the original samsung case, I've seen those rotating cases and they look bulky and I'll never going to get use to that cylinder in the back. In the original case it just fits right, clean and not bulky at all, but again, that's my preference... The bad: it's a lot more expensive.
I also bought one of those plastic body covers and it was just a piece of junk!
I am currently using that case，not bad
quality good，no foul smell，I think 120gram

Im also using this case now and its great! I got it from ebay hongkong seller for $14USD only with free shipping, no tax nor duties! Took around 15 business days to arrive here in Canada, case serves good protection, its good for right or left handed users and 360' stand option is really nice.
So overall its a nice case for its good price and its great quality.

I've this one in brown and I like it.
It feels a bit cheap at first (I expected it at this price) and I'm still unsure about how long it will last, but I'm using it since about a month and no problems so far.
I'm mostly using it for watching videos in landscape-format and only in rare occasions for portrait, but if I'm holding it in the hand I can turn the folding part of the case, this way it hangs down and doesn't bother me.
My girlfriend is folding it, so it's really thick to grab and does feel more like a book than a thin tablet.
The display-cover-part is rather thick (because of the creasing for the stand) and the rest feels a bit elastic, so I think its a good protection for my tab.
On the other hand: It makes the tab around 2 times thicker and doesn't feel good any more in the pocket of my jacket.
In conclusion: I like it, and I did same some money in comparison to the most thin-cases.
But I'm still not sure if I shouldn't try something thinner too.
i have something similar and the zenus casing. Personally i perfer the zenus. The other casing is thicker and the rotation is too loose.
put a back protector on your tab before using this rotating sleeve/case
I have one and the plastic rotating link is eating its way at the back pannel

I do not have any problems with this. Neither on the edges where the main connection is, nor on the back where the rotating part is.

Bought this on amazon for $16. Pleasant surprised by how nice it is. Definitely a viable option to the book cover cases.

Interesting. VZW has a Belkin folio that looks like the one I used on my 8.9, and I liked it quite well, but of course it's $40--wonder if it's worth trying that one for $17. Is it adjustable (doesn't look like it from the pictures)? How stable is the tab when seated inside--is there any wiggle room or anything?
It's pretty stable. Tab slides in and a leather lip keeps it in place. Magnets keep the cover closed. Adds very minimal bulk. For the price whatta ya got to lose?
Semper Fi!!!

I bought one of these.. I thought it was nice.
BUT it did have a drawback that I dint like.
The edges of it came too close to the touch screen.
To press the home, menu etc buttons.. the edge came close to where you have to press..
My finger had to touch the edge of the cover and the screen at the same time...
BUT.. since it was so cheap..... I decided to take a scissors and trim the material back about a 3/8ths inch.
it was tough going around those four inside corners.. but I like it 100% now..
No more interference when touching the screens edge.
using the one above, not bad
for those of you in canada - i found the following case at the source - it fits the 7.7 pretty good - price is $29.99 - i didn't buy it as it is quite bulky but i will probably pick it up tomorrow until i can find a better case

I took my device out of my Caseen case in order to do my downgrade/root...yes I know I didn't need to take it out, but I did.
I forgot how light and nice it is to have such a thin device. It got me thinking that I might not want to use a case that often. What do you think?
I'm a kind of a no case guy, but since it is my favorite expensive toy I'm going to try to keep it in the case as much as possible. The good thing about cases like the one you have, is that it is wonderful to use when you are on a flat surface, no need to hold the tablet or break your neck looking straight down.
I think the answer is both. For home use, I prefer not to have it in a case, enjoy the tablet for what it is. If you plan on taking it on a trip or to work, then put it in a case for that extra protection.
I plan on getting one of the ones posted in another thread where it holds both tablet and dock but other than that, no. I would but it would be annoying having it on and off to use the dock
The best case is the keyboard dock
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
I just got the 300 and I'm loving it. I agree that the best case is the dock but it worries me that some people have posted about the screen getting cracked when docked. I wonder if this happens when you put the tab with the keyboard in a bag and pressure is applied to the screen. If you read the tf201 forums some users have attached rubber or silicone bumpers to the dock to spread the pressure along more points. As for me I'm going to add the silicone bumpers and leave it docked. My ideal case would be a snap on hard plastic case for the back of the tab and leave it docked so that the back is protected by the case and the screen by the dock. I have yet to see a snap on case for the 300
I'm thinking of buying the Roocase or the Poetic case and cutting off the case in half so I can then use the part that covers the back only and leave the tab docked. Not sure how it will look but its the only way I can think of getting what I want.
I don't like cases. I got a good bag to carry it around in. When it's in my hands I want it as light as possible. Ruins the comfort and functionality of having a tablet if you increase the weight with a case, IMO.
^^^^^yup
Il just get a carrying bag
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
No.. no case! This light, thin tablet placed in ugly thick case..
Agree with Raul69.atl, best case is dock and just take care of device)
The main reason I get the case is to use it as a kickstand for watching movies or if i using at a table or desk. but i got one thats fairly easy to take out, so if I'm carrying it around the house, I take it out.
I ended up just encasing mine with Armorsuit gear and carrying it around like that. I much prefer it without the case. I would like a stand though. Any suggestions for a stand?

Yeah, there were some screen cracking issues with the Prime but that was a fault of a bad weight and pressure distribution when docked. If you compare the two docks side-by-side, you can tell that ASUS redesigned the TF300's so as not to have that problem. and as for a case I love sleeves. exactly like those laptop sleeves that lots of people get, but in 10" size. thats what I recommend.

Case = Piece of mind for me since I am so clumsy. I also agree that it is good to use as a stand for movies and surfing.
I went back and fourth myself over this issue. What I ended up doing with my 7” HTC Evo View 4G tablet was to get a case that's just the plastic part of the 360° style case, without the big hole in the middle to rotate of course. It's lightweight yet protects the corners and back. I'm hoping that type of case will be available by the time my red TF gets here.

With case! It's a €400,- device and would hate to get it broke or lots of scratches on it. But depends which kind of case because you got really thick ones which I think dont hold as good. The thin ones I think are better.
A advantage of a case (not all of them) is that you can use it as a stand for the tablet.
If you want to use it without a case but want to store it safely, why not use a 10" sleeve.
I just use a sleeve. Its easiest, and unless I get an otterbox like case this thing is gonna break if I drop it anyways. I just use sleeves and padding for when its in my bag
I love how sleek my TF300 is and I tried a couple of different cases but did not like the bulk they added. I agree that the keyboard dock is the best solution for docking and I bought one of those sleeves from Amazon and use it when i have to carry it around.
i just purchased a moko case and let me tell you. when i was on a plane flying back home from NTC, i wish i had done so sooner. lol
I actually went a few days without a case when i first got my Pad....i usually dont use a case for any devices as i am usually VERY careful with them. however, the Pad almost seemed to thin and light without a case and i was always very scared of dropping it. day 1, walking from my work to my car, i had a death grip on the thing...lol
needless to say, i got a case (moko slim multi-angle one off amazon for $15...well worth the $$ IMO) and it has been great. Gives that extra protection when i want it, a great multi-angle stand for watching videos or normal use (placed it on my lap and browsed with it last night) and it is actually fairly thin and light still. even without it on the "stand" it is easier to hold due to the grooves on the back.
it's so nice i may never take it out of the case again....especially since i have Tile floors throughout my entire house....lol
Sure glad I had a case on mine when my 2 year old threw it straight down onto the hard wood floor the other day! It's a Moko case.
So Poetic has some new cases due to come out on October 30th according to Amazon. They look very nice and are definitely my style of case.
Here they are:
Turtle Skin: http://www.amazon.com/Nvidia-Shield...869&sr=8-6&keywords=nvidia+shield+tablet+case
Revolution: http://www.amazon.com/Nvidia-Shield...69&sr=8-15&keywords=nvidia+shield+tablet+case
Personally considering the Turtle Skin case as the ability to use your stylus as a kickstand is great. Not sure why the Revolution version has most of the speakers covered. (Unless those spots they cut out are the only areas where sound is coming out?)
What do you guys think? I'll be updating this post with the Turtle Skin case as soon as I get it.
No speaker holes.
I was looking at those the other day and couldn't figure out why the frig they covered up 90% of the speaker ports.
Kind of makes dual forward facing speakers a moot point? Someone in the final approval dept. needs to get off the crack and look at the way it actually works lol.
Poetic is great. Ive had 3 tablets prior to the shield and used poetic cases for them all. These are terrible cases compared to the ones Ive used before. I cant bare to think of how hot the k1 will get in these beasts.

Yeah I was a sucker and paid way too much for the Shield tablet cover, but after using it and playing the k1 optimized games I know why they went with the open back design with minimal contact points. It would be awesome to find a silicone bumper or something to still fit the tablet but a fully covered back on the shield is not a great idea if you actually use it for gaming IMO.
Pre-ordered a revolutions case.
As for the speakers if you play around covering up the grills you'll notice that where poetic have put their holes is actually where the sounds comes out the most.
Has anyone tried the turtle case yet? I had ordered the Revolution back in Oct but was not one of the ones to get the first shipment so I canceled it and went with a flip cover case. However for normal day to day use the flip cover case is kind of annoying and I'd like to switch to an open face case like these.
Just got one of these puppies and want to see the REVOLUTION case in action. Can anyone please post pics? Tia!
Finally got my Poetic case just before christmas. Here are some pictures and a video I made.

for me it did. I think it might had more to do with the fact that I already had an illumishield cover.. I didn't really care much for the built in screen protector, considering it kept giving that oily look, like in the pics above. Anyways, with both the illumishield and built-in protector, the touch sensors was wonky, especially when using the stylus. And since I liked the non oily look of the illumishield, I just basically hacked away the built-in screen protector. as far as the case though? it's pretty awesome..
Ah ok, i didn't notice that it was the soft type screen protector that does that oily crap cuz i was on mobile when i saw the photos. I also like to provide my own screen protector and just use the frame, thanks.
My poetic case is coming in today. I had the thought of doing the same thing as the other guy. Cutting off the protector of the poetic and installing my own screen protector.
With the built in protector only the stylus works fine. Don't like the weird oily looking effect though and probably will remove it also.
Now I've used it for a while there are things I really don't like about it. The buttons are really hard to press now, I might try to mod it to make it better. The port cover will probably get cut off as it doesn't stay in after being left on charge over night. The stand is a nice feature but poorly done, only one angle option and its not a good one. Would be good to have some sort of incremental angle options and to lock into place.
But the protection the bulky case provides cannot be denied.

That was the dirst thing I did when I got mine. I've never really liked the built in screen protectors, they all seem poor compared to combining the case with a nicer screen protector. Use tempered glass + Otterbox on my M8, and an illumishield + poetic on the shield. Not a huge fan of the buttons, but it's stil the best and basically only choice for a hard case.
just wondering, anyone here has cracked edges problem?
I read it like almost everywhere on the nvidia forum... and ppl there are.. kinda nasty. most of the things discussed there is not constructive...
So I had a mixed experience with the Poetic Revolution case.
tl: dr Poetic need to make a SlimLine range for the Nvidia Shield Tab so it can be oriented in Landscape and Portrait.
I had to shave off the locking lugs that stow the stand so I could easily deploy and stow the stand. I also had to cut into the flap so it would return to the covered position. The material that Poetic chose to use for the rubberized flaps is different to the SlimLine range of cases, and is less flexible.
I also had an issue with the kickstand hinge lugs breaking off and I had to request a new case.
The new case is better than the first one. The stand will deploy much easier now, and the rubberized material *eventually* returns to it's original position. It still doens't close immediately after you have unplugged headphones or the charging cable, but it gets there eventually.

What procedure did you use to get a replacement for broken kickstand? I agree with your experience, pretty much the same issues here. Still like the case but hinge and hard to press buttons.

I just used their web site contact form. If you are in the states, you won't need to pay the postage fee. I had to, because I'm in Australia.
Right on, they asked for Order number & picture of damaged region and my address. The new case has already been shipped no need to return the defective old one either. Thanks for your tip.
Has anyone found a good cover or case. There seems to be very little available even on eBay?
Check Amazon there are several. Got mine for $12.

What did you get? Do you like it? I haven't been able to find any "non-folio" cases. I don't want a flap, just some good corner protection
This is a fantastic case. It's magnetic so it wakes it and puts it to sleep. It's slim, it fits perfectly, and the front can be folded to stand it up. They have a ton of colors and it looks really nice. It's only $15 shipped!

Im getting the me176cx and need a good case, theres loads, any recommendations would be welcome, do people also bother with screen protectors nowadays??
thanks
I'm not worried about a screen protector but only because of the way I use mine. If I had children playing with it or used it in harsh conditions, I would.

This Christmas I gave Memo 7 tablets and BobjGear covers to all my grandchildren. I dont know what you mean by "good", but for me, the kids drop them a lot and I have not had to replace one yet. :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
Did anyone spot a nice genuine leather sleeve or folio for either ME176C or ME572C (I have both ) . I have one PU leather folios for the ME176C but not only was it cheap, it looks even cheaper, has a lousy feel, adds lots of bulk and weight and the built-in stand is pretty much useless.
I'm thinking of getting an iPad mini sleeve as it has exactly the height (but more depths and less width) and there're plenty to choose from...
I got the official ASUS case for my ME572CL. Not the folio smart case, which is way too expensive, but the soft silicon rubber one. Cheaper, looks nice, thin and offers reasonable protection, but I really don't recommend it - they have tried to keep the edges thin so that they don't cover any of the glass screen, so the fit is much too loose. Also it has no magnets and no strap or fastner, so the screen cover just flaps open. Because of these flaws the case is not really fit for purpose and I find myself taking it off whenever I actually use the tablet would have been better off just buying a cheap nexus 7 sleeve.
Well, meanwhile I was doing a little research and figured out that iPad Mini Sleeves (which can be found in abundance) would be a perfect fit due to the exact same length. However thanks to a strike here it's been in somewhere in the mail for just shy of 2 weeks now...
I think the nexus 7 2013 size is a much closer fit.

You're totally right. Thanks for the tip.
Can anyone recommend a good "bumper" case? You know, a rubbery one that just slips on (covers the back and edges only, no front cover) and protects it a bit from falls?
What's a good case for the 176ce?

Has anyone tried any of the cheap tough/tank/rugged cases of ebay or from any of the chinese sites like the ones below? I know they're basically knock offs of more expensive cases, but wanted to see if anyone is using them and if they're decent enough quality. I have a thin clear gel case at the moment which is fine for me as I am generally careful with my devices but fancied the option of having something with more sturdy protection.

Ended up ordering one of these, great fit and quality, feels solid and quick and easy to put on/take off. Delivered really quickly and came with one of those small stylus that clip into the headphone jack and a film screen protector(I didn't fit it), which unfortunately like a lot of them doesn't fit the full screen.

I had two of those cases for my Nexus 5. Came with the same stylus and everything. One of them had the flip cover, but it ended up breaking off.
It's a pretty good case. I generally just use my nexus 5 around the house these days, using those cases, my phone has no visible damage. Though, bear in mind that the Nexus 5 had a lot less glass built into it.

Yea I had the same type for my Galaxy S4, always wanted the one with the flip/door ('Armour view' I think it was called) cover on it but never got it. I had read about the door hinge being a bit fragile and prone to breaking also.
This one for the S7 is great though, really nice sturdy fit and cheap as well. Its not quite as rugged as the ones in the links I look at but its handy as the case can be taken off and put back on quickly if needed, whereas the other ones are really intended to be put on and left on.
you can check my reviews , for now , i love my ottrbox and a cheaper product from amazon
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AMZ97KG
I've got the Artech Little Rock. It's cheap ($29, and a 20% off coupon put it at about $24) and it's as rugged a case as I've ever had. The bezel is a bit hard to snap in, but that only makes it secure the phone that much more
