Go google play and search for SMART SCREEN OFF. Try it out.

I've been using this app with a book style case for a while and it is very useful. I think it is one of the reasons my battery lasts for days.

This is annoying. I see the app (Smart Screen Off) on my phone, but it's not there when I search from my tab. I can't stand when that happens. Does anyone know how to fix that?

I have the el cheapo version of the smart cover (bought on eBay) but I can't stand that there is no way to keep the cover closed (magnets, band, etc.). I am going to take a look at the Rock now but can't figure out how it stays closed. There is a strap that is described to keep it closed on the eBay listings, but no pictures. Any help here?

Yes there is an elastic strap that can hold the front cover in place. It normally sits behind the tab.

Thanks. Does it get in the way? If it's a pretty seamless kind of thing, I'll get the rock. Otherwise this one that I have is OK.

got the officiable book case, though it does seem the joining part between back and front is a bit flimsy. It also has no strap to hold the flip when not in use. Other than that the inner lining feels nice and is very slim.

Is somebody have heard about the stilgut case for the 7.7 ?
It looks like very similar to the poetic one.
Can anybody confirm this ?

There are two apps, the one from James Kim and the AndroidHD one. Which is the one you are recommending?

This seems to be an interesting choice too. iRoo Ultra Slim case.
This fashionable case also seem to have magnets (how do they work?! :)) and is supposedly high quality.
Sadly it's available only in asia, yay ebay!

I'm using this one since sometimes and it's working very well, and the magnet is great, it holds the cover when closed and when in stand mode.

the only problem is that it's difficult to take p\out the device when needed.

just got my case today. took 17 days to arrive. ordered from ebay.

top and bottom has a rubbery surface which is quite nice feel to it. provides grip on table surfaces.

doesnt not have magnets on the ends.

the cover doesnt go all the way to the end which exposes the silver boarder which isnt a problem.

all 4 corners fits nicely and doesnt come loose.

thats the hightest angle you can go.

i noticed when i open the cover, the top section of the back does that. might just be mine or some sort of fault. but no biggie.

Overall, i'm happy with my purchase.

    Noreve Leather Case

    QwaarJet said:
    I ordered a Noreve case, but it's going to take a while it seems. Ordered a week and half ago, no idea when it's going to ship. *sniff* They did tell me if I ordered from the Perpetual selection it would ship right away, but I ordered from the Exceptional series.

    Got mine yesterday. It's a bit disappointing, IMHO, as it is quite bulky and the different viewing angles require you to pop the device half way out of the case and then the whole thing slips out (see 4th pic down, and it did, indeed, fall on the floor right after I took the photo). Nice leather, though.

    Here are some pics:

    A review with pic would be great :)

    I just bought the 360 rotary case, branded "perfora".
    This is a chinese made case which is rebranded with many names.
    I got it pretty cheap, around $20.

    But overall, i'm a bit dissapointed,

    1. The grooves (there are 2 ) don't hold the tab up very well, this is the most fatal design flaw, because if you type too strong the tab will fall.
    Only the upper horizontal groove that can hold it properly, but if you type the upper part of the tab, it will fall as well


    IMG-20120223-00540.jpg


    2. The worst part is when you put vertically to the upper grooves, it will fall immediately because the angle is > 90 degree, (did they even test this before selling it?)

    IMG-20120223-00544.jpg


    3. The hinge for rotation is too loose, i can't hold it with 1 hand comfortably unlike the official case.

    Overall i wouldn't recommend it, fortunately it's not too expensive though.
    I don't know if there's other brand with better design,
    but i suggest you to try it first before buying it.
