Got it perfect with 3rd release
As a preface, I buy everything online but only enter reviews when I am either really impressed, or really disappointed with a product.
I ordered this case on Sep 16th and it said out of stock until Sep 30 which I was fine with, but it arrived Sep 20th. You have got to love a company that listens to its customers and has already made changes to the product twice in just a few months. I never dealt with the first or second batch, but I have read all the reviews and can say that the third batch has none of those flaws, in my eyes it is perfect. And from what I have heard the company is taking care of those that bought the first two batches by giving them this third one free.
All I wanted from the day the nexus 7 came out was a case that actually protects, but is as THIN as possible, since that is what I like most about the nexus. This case is perfect for me, I love how the screen sits flush with the case when you open the lid so it doesn't cover any of the screen or bezel. I have a couple other tablets and cases and hate when the leather of the case makes it hard to swipe down the notification bar or move icons to different screens. The stand feature works as advertised although I find that I never use stands for my 7 inch tablets, more important for the touchpad or ipad. I also love how strong the magnets close the case compared to a few other cases I have with the same feature. I have not noticed the magnets causing the screen to turn off when the lid is folded all the way back so I think they fixed that problem. Also, I had read a couple complaints about it being difficult to access the power and volume buttons, I'm not sure if they changed that but I don't find it hard at all.
Bottom Line- If you want a slim case- BUY THIS ONE, they have fixed the former flaws and it is an awesome case.
