Nice, sturdy case with good protection and horizontal rotation
I looked at many Nexus 7 cases before deciding on this one, and I'm very happy with it. The tablet fits inside perfectly and snugly. As many others have mentioned, it has all the appropriate openings for the camera and all other controls.....nothing is blocked. It's is not the lightest case, but I wanted one that offered a decent amount of protection. I drop my iPad constantly, so I know I will drop this one at some point. It's very sturdy and appears very protective. The perimeter of the case around the front of the tablet seems thick enough so that if you drop it flat and face down, it should offer enough protection so the glass doesn't touch the floor. Now of course, if its dropped glass side down on a surface that is not flat, like onto rocks, I am sure it would probably break. I do NOT want to be the one to test that out!One side/half of the cover has two indented slots from top to bottom in where you can prop the tablet so that its sitting up. Propping up this way has worked fine for me. The tablet, while inside the case, can also be rotated to be propped up horizontally as we'll. For me, this works best using the slot closest the the outer edge of the case. It stays put better than when in the slot that holds it up higher and straighter. It's not that big a difference, so it doesn't bother me at all, but some may be annoyed by it. I have no issues when rotating it.....it rotates nice and smoothly. Some reviewers mentioned that it is not a sleep case, however, mine Does have the magnet and the sleep function works perfectly. When you open it up again, the tablet wakes right up. The magnet seems strong enough so that if its closed and you drop the case, the magnet should hold it closed. I did a test.....closed it up,held it up, and dropped it about 3 feet onto my bed and the case did not open at all.I bought the light blue color and really like it. It almost looks like a Tiffany blue.Overall, I'm happy with this purchase, it's features, and the protection it seems to offer, and would definitely recommend it.

Good protection, fits well, durable, except...
Purchased this case for our my Wife's new Nexus 7 tablet. Needed it fast, as the screen already had a hairline scratch on it after less than weeks use. Shipping was pretty quick. Case is rugged and flexible, and made of good materials. While it may add a little bulk to an otherwise slim tablet, the protection is worth the trade-off. All the holes are in the correct places and are well aligned and allow the buttons and ports to be reached easily. The rotating and stand functions work well and are pretty useful.There are only two problems with the case. First, the strap that wraps around the tablet to hold it in place, only tucks beneath the tablet and does not do a great job of holding the tablet so that the screen remains centered in the opening. This is not to say that the tablet can fall out, it is held securely in the case, it just has a little too much wiggle room.Second, the material that wraps around the tablet and for the opening for the screen is, is too thick and the opening is too precise (as if that's a bad thing?) This makes it difficult to press the back, home, and screen change soft keys on the screen. This is made worse by problem number one listed above. If the tablet shifts because of the strap when the screen is in landscape mode the soft keys are completely hidden and you have to push the tablet up to reach the keys.Other than that it is a good buy and a good price. I would probably recommend this case, as the problems listed are only a minor annoyance and not a serious flaw.

Beautiful and well worth purchasing
I bought the N7 and then had to have a case shipped ridiculously fast due to my inability to maintain electronics without dropping them (thank you Amazon prime!). I chose this one based on the excellent reviews and was startled (happily) to see how inexpensive this gorgeous-looking cover was. Now that I have received it, I can say it is well-done! High quality, a nice trendy color (I got the blue) that I can't possibly misplace (ok, I probably still can) and looks like it cost a lot more than it did.Most importantly, I can now leave the safety of the couch with it, without fear that I'm going to destroy my new N7. I love the on-off magnet, but have noticed it doesn't work ALL the time when closing it. Sometimes it stays on after I close the cover if I'm not careful about how I do it. I leave my screen on for 2 minutes rather than the default, so battery can be a slight concern if you have your display set to stay on longer. Slight. Not enough for me to deduct a star, and this thing turns right on the second I open the cover and that's really the magic for me. The rotating thingamajig works great, and I was able to rotate and prop my N7 and read an entire book yesterday without hand cramps, which is another big plus for me. The tab holding the N7 in place doesn't bother me at all, and while the N7 can shift around a tiny bit, it's not a concern to me as the slippage does not interfere with my viewing of the screen, the camera or any of the access points.My only issue at all is the placement of the power button on the N7 itself, slightly to the back of the machine, which makes finding it by feel while in a case a bit obnoxious for the clumsy people. I don't think a case could accommodate that design "feature" without leaving it susceptible to scrapes and damage to the unit, so no stars off for that either.Overall, I wasn't expecting it to be as beautiful and functional as it is, due to the really affordable price, and I'm thrilled with it.
