I have the hardcover book for my N7. Its so sticky that if I ever try and take my N7 off it pulls the whole back cover off. I don’t use it anymore because of that.

IF the adhesive does wear out they send a free replacement

Thanks for the response. If it works and is not like the crappy looking cases I’ve seen in other stores, I will definitely get one. Thanks for the advice though.

Thanks for the response. My daughters usually play with my Nexus 7 (well I can basically call it theirs) and of course if they are watching a video, instead of holding the Nexus up with their hands, they can use the case to prop it up in landscape mode.

I use the hardcover as a stand in landscape mode. Its got a pretty clever clip with the elastic strap that holds it up. I had to go to their website to figure out how to use it, and I was amazed how simple it was.

They suggest you turn it landscape and prop it up using the flap and the strap. It sounds confusing and the process is complicated enough I never bothered doing it with mine. I wouldn’t recommend the case if that is a function you are looking for.

I’ve got the Hardcover and its been in use for about 4 months. I don’t baby it at all and it has stayed in great shape. I agree, the buttons are hard to get at, its not terribly difficult. All in all, I’ve been very happy with it and it looks awesome!

Only question for me would be can you use it as a stand in landscape mode? I did not see that in the gallery or the video.

I have the hardcover version. I purchased it mainly to protect my Nexus 7 when I’m not using it (hate putting cases on phones or tablets). I didn’t use the 3M tape because I wanted to be able to take it in and out of the case easily. It’s great for that purpose. If you chose to use the tape to keep it in the case you’ll find that the buttons on the side of the device are hard to press due to the angle they are on. I’ve also purchased a classic (wood tray) version for my wife’s itablet but have to point out that if you drop it the wood corners that hold the device in place WILL break. Within a few weeks my wife dropped it from waist high and it became unusable. Contacted DODOcase support and they sent a new one to me free of charge (Great company!) but since then the same thing has happened. I’ve moved on to something more wife-proof for that tablet.

these all look lovely. when its time to invest in a better case than what i’m carrying, i’ll be checking them out. i do wish that they included some sort of port for the rear speaker a la portenzo…but in the meantime i’ll just hope that the next nexus7 has different speaker placement

I can buy that the Classic and Solid cases are well-crafted and are deserving of a price premium. But how the heck does the hardcover cost $35? It’s a hardcover book with no paper and a pack of sticky tape.
