2-Poetic Slimline Case

Poetic's Slimline series of cases are available for a variety of tablets, including both old and new iterations of Google's Nexus 7. All of the Slimline cases offer auto-sleep and wake when you close and open the case, full-body protection for the back and sides of the case (with cutouts for access to ports, like most other cases here), and a soft, padded front that's also flexible for use in landscape mode, whether you're typing and working with the tablet or sitting back and watching videos or reading. The cases all feature a hard rubberized outer shell for the back, and the front has a microfiber interior so it doesn't scratch your screen. Those of you who praised the Poetic line of cases noted the company's exceptional customer service if you have problems with their cases, their flexibility, and the strength of the front cover—which unlike a lot of cases, it capable of keeping the tablet firmly in landscape mode while you use it without sliding all over the place. Some of you also noted that the cover magnets are strong and firm, so the case won't just fall open (which would simultaneously wake your tablet and waste your battery). The price is right too; a Slimline will set you back $15 for the new Nexus 7 and $13 for the original Nexus tablet at Amazon.
