## Customer Reviews

    Functional. Attractive. Helpful customer service.
  

*by J***P on Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2012*

I have the Nexus 7 cellular, and the only issue is that the microphones were relocated, so the microphone cutout on this case is non-functioning. I knew that going in, however, thanks to quick and helpful customer service from Poetic. I don't plan to use the microphones very much, so for me, that was a non-issue. You also do not have access to the micro-SIM while it's in the case, but I can't imagine that being an issue for anyone; how often do you need to access that? There have been some rumors that the microphone port was shifted on the cellular version, and I can confirm that is NOT the case. Everything lines up perfectly (minus the mics and the micro-SIM). The cutout for the micro-USB port is large enough to accommodate a the Nexus-included micro-USB cable and several others I tried. Headphone jack is also contoured to fit even L-shaped plugs (the kind that sit flush against the body), though not in every orientation; you'll need to spin it a bit as there are a couple orientations where it does hit the case. Again, not an issue in my opinion. The case seems well made, with a soft "suede" liner. The Nexus snaps securely into place, but it's also easy to remove. And the case never obstructs on the screen. The retention system is very well designed.The magnetic cover works well, though a slightly stiffer "hinge"-section would be an improvement, as it's easy to misalign the cover a bit, though you can't misalign it so much as to expose the screen. With the relatively small width of the Nexus, a 3-panel section doesn't put it at a great angle when used as a "kickstand," but I think that's more of a function of the relatively tall profile of the Nexus. It's a nice and comfortable viewing angle that still allows reasonably comfortable typing if that's how you like to use this sort of case. The leather exterior is nice to hold and the red (the color I got) is a nice shade that's very attractive and bold. It's a true red that I think looks great.I'm also impressed with the rather rapid iterations that the company made (the cover now folds flat against the back, which I gather WAS an issue), and my experience with their customer service was positive. I'm rating it four-stars because it meets my expectations for a great product, but does not exceed them. It is not "flawless," which is what I think a five-star rating should be reserved for. But I'm very happy with the product and my dealings with poetic. If you are looking for a folio-style case, I think you'll be happy with this. Hopefully they offer a version in the future with the correct mic ports, as I imagine that will be an issue for some folks.

    UPDATED: excellent case for the price! (excellent case period)
  

*by K***D on Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2013*

UPDATE: Amazon wont let me post a separate review for this case, even though i now purchased the 2013 Nexus 7 version, but here i go anyways. It's the best case i have used for a device. PERIOD. the price is great as well, but even independent of it, it is a great case. It looks gorgeous, fits very well, and the folding back mechanism works great with magnet. i have not had a single problem yet.about 4 weeks after purchasing this case, i received another new one in the mail, with a letter stating that they had updated the case to address complaints, and shipped existing buyers the new one for FREE. Now i never had any problems, and i never complained about the new Nexus 7 2013 cover, i thought it was damn near perfect. But i still got a free one no questions asked. That is above and beyond what reasonable expectations anyone could have of customer service. This is now the gold standard. Every seller from here on will be compared to this, and i've become a poetic slimline customer for life!Nexus 7 2012 version: the poetic slim line is a brilliant case, it is a $50 folio case hiding inside a $15 price point.Pros: Considerably lighter and well designed than others. Magnets hold the flap closed. Magnets don't interfere with the screen. fit is tight. Buttons are easily accesible. offers decent protection.Cons: Some of the edges seem to be fraying very early on, but it's not too bad, in fact it's remarkably low considering i've handled it quite roughly. The lower right edge of the case grips the bezel a little too tight, and creates a slight pressure on the screen, which causes discoloration that is so subtle you can only see it when the screen is black and in a dark room.But the pros outweigh the cons easily, and i highly recommend this case. Buy without a second thought!

    Just as I expected
  

*by J***T on Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2013*

I purchased this case looking for something lightweight to protect from scratches. Before this, I was already using a rugged albeit large and heavy Seidio case. I realized that I am very careful with all of my electronic devices, and the bulky case created a poor experience with my tablet for lack of portability (it was difficult for me to hold it in one hand with the case on).This case is exactly what I was looking for!PROS:It completely protects the tablet from scratches.I can stand up the tablet in horizontal orientation.Automatically wakes/sleeps the tabletCONS:The power/volume buttons are difficult to get to. They should have added buttons to the case to push the tablet's buttons, but instead they just cut out holes for the buttons. The result is buttons that are less accessible to the touch.
