Does the case feel awkward to hold in landscape while playing a game? Does the cover fold flat on the back while doing this?

That’s true, but I did get a decent Blurex “leather” portfolio case for $14.

It has these little rubber grommets in the corners too, so it doesn’t even really come in direct contact with the wood. But over time this could change. Either way, it is a top notch quality case, hand made in the USA.

I care. Also “Droid” is short for Android so forgive them for not posting information solely related to your precious encrypted boot loaders.

Back in the day, Droid’s were the hotness (OG). Now it is the Nexus devices. Get over the name of the site.

We love what you guys do, so keep it up.

Plus the OG Droid was a “nexus,” so your point is invalid.

That may work except when the device gets fairly cheap (a.k.a. Nexus 7) guess you’ll be wrapping yours in card board.

$40 for a case for a more expensive tablet I could understand. Personally, I wouldn’t spend more than 1/10th of the price of an item for an accessory, unless that accessory worked for multiple devices.

This, I’ll just give my T-bolt a droid-eye boot animation and call it a day.

I bought a Portenza for my Nexus 7 and really like it. If you’d like I can share pictures too (faux leather, dark blue linen interior, intellistand, magnets and strap).

Note: the second set of pictures are for a Treegloo case.

I really hope you realize that “droid” is just a moniker for “android.”

It sits tightly with no movement. It’s a perfect fit, and everything is put together very well. I can’t speak for over time, but I’ve read people still using their iPad Portenza case years later without issue.
