How is the unhinging to open the front flap & the unhinging to prop it up?

Read some reports it is tough to get it open or propped.

To open the flap was really tight, but the case is breaking in quite nicely and it's getting easier.

To unhook it to prop it up is no problem at all.

I have the Poetic Slimline Case. It's great. It does a tad extra than what the official Asus case does. I can't complain. It protects my N7 without adding bulk to it. Most of the cases by Moko, BluRex, or i-Blason tends to make my N7 look like a prop from the 1980s (I believe they were called DayPlanners or DailyPlanners).

Probably one of the best cases I've seen for the N7 thus far. It feels pretty sturdy and I didn't have to pay an arm and a leg for it, either ($25 + Free Shipping). I absolutely love it:

Just came today. Cheap but functional. I like that the inner holder detaches to be used as a simple case. It doesn't swivel like other 360 cases, but rather the velcro detaches to change orientation. The detachable inner case has speaker holes, the outer case/cover doesn't, but the sound still comes out okay. The inner case definitely adds some bulk bu I like that I can use it independently of the outer cover. The only think that worries me is that the velcro will wear out. For $7 the inner case alone seems worth it.

Close to sleep works fine

I didn't order a case off amazon, I tried to find it at a store in USA and had a heck of a time finding anything made for nexus 7. Just a ton of Ipad and kindle cases, and a few nooks.
I got lucky and found a few accessories at officemax and got this case
Google Nexus 7 FitFolio-Harbor Blue
I like it so far, has sleep wake functions, and is fairly slim.
What is funny, I tried looking at the speck website, and they don't even have nexus 7 listed for cases.
 
I picked up a Targus Kindle Fire case at Marshalls for $5.00. It was a bit tough to get to the power and volume controls so I just cut out a small area with a pen knife and now it fine.

Not bad for $5.00
 
What about the rooCASE: Ultra Slim Vegan Folio Case?

Here it is on Amazon for under $16: Amazon Link

Here's a video review: YouTube

I like how it has a Smart Cover that actually seems to close all the way when it is closed. It seems to match/line up with the rest of the case when closed.

I like how the corners are covered, as well as most of the sides.

One big thing that looks good is that there is a large cut-out where the camera is. This is good because the case won't interfere when pulling down the notifications menu.

And, it has multiple degrees of viewing, and there's velcro to make sure it doesn't slide out or slide around.

So, I'm leaning toward this one - does anything like any other ones more than this one?

I've also found these:

  1. WENYI Case
  2. EXACT Leather Folio
  3. SUPCase

VERY interested in this case. Anyone have experience with it? I am having a hard time finding reviews for it.
 
Anyone find a case that REPLACES the N7 back cover? I've pulled it off before and it takes about a minute to just pop it off, it would be awesome and save a lot of thickness if they made one just like the Galaxy Note 2 one which replaces the battery cover and has a flap attached. I know it would probably void the warranty, but I don't think I'd care much with these being as cheap as they are, plus who will know if you snap the original case back on before sending it in.
 
Not Nexus specific but I'm currently using a Pelican 1150 case 8.18" x 5.68" x 3.62" to hold the Nexus accessories and the device itself for a bomb proof (literally) mobile photo editing solution. Since it's the same price as Pelican's tablet specific case and has much higher build quality it was kind of a no-brainer. Got a silicone skin and a screen protector for the device itself. Now... if I can only get root to play nice with 4.2...
