This review is from: Black Luxury Multi Function Standby Case with Built-in Magnet for Sleep / Wake feature for the Google Nexus 7 Tablet Android 4.1 Jellybean 8GB or 16GB – New Updated Version Perfect for Nexus 7 w/ Sleep Sensor and Stylus Holder Loop + Screen Protector + Stylus Pen by MOFRED® (Available in Mutiple Colors) (Electronics)
Had a few problems with the 1st case I received (it had been designed prior to the release of the Nexus 7) however, communication with MOFRED was pleasant and constructive and they were quick to take the criticism and VERY quick make the adjustments. And now I have the replacement in my hands, what can I say? The improvements are simply incredible!
(To confirm: any new case from MOFRED will be Version 2, they have discontinued the first design)
1) This feels like a luxury case and the fit for the Nexus 7 is perfect – no slop and the tablet is supported well on all sides. 2) Magnetic on/off works like a dream. 3) Case has ports in all the right places (one on the left that people question is actually where the microphone is located) 4) Included stylus is very useful for preventing grubby fingerprints when browsing and if you have the patience to fit the screen protector I don’t doubt that will be great also. 5) The power button and volume buttons are a little tricky to get to (although with the magnetic on/off the power button isn’t really necessary any more) but this is the same on all cases at the moment due to the design of the tablet. A possible solution would involve covering the original buttons and building button extenders (make sense?) into the case which would add cost and be hard to implement gracefully (although the challenge is out there MOFRED! ;-)).
Ignore the bad reviews, these were for an earlier case (I removed my earlier review and if you are one of the first customers I urge you to contact MOFRED for Version 2 before reviewing). Before receiving the replacement I had bought the LuvTab, which, whilst another excellent case doesn’t have the same stand mechanism. Since reviewing that case I have found the magnetic folding stand frustrating in real life use whereas the stand built into this case is simple and effective. The LuvTab will go to a friend and I will be keeping this case.
In conclusion; I am very impressed with the product and seller. 5 stars to both!

First I should point out that I originally ordered the 1st generation of this product after I’d preordered the Nexus 7. When I had hod of both I found a couple of issues with poor fit and the advertised support of automatically waking and sleeping the tablet not being present. To their credit, MOFRED were great to deal with in order to rectify the problem. Although they didn’t have any updated ones available when I contacted them, they asked me to get back in touch later in the week to arrange an exchange when they would expect more in. A replacement was posted out before I had a chance to get mine back to them and it arrived the following morning.
As for the case, it now is a perfect fit. Overall it seems like a much higher quality product too with it fitting the Nexus 7 perfectly, no loose areas and a decent sized hole for the camera. Not sure if real leather or not, but the outside of the case feels nice and provides enough grip without being too tacky.
The sleep/wake sensor works as intended and make the power button pretty much redundant, which is a good thing given is it a bit awkward to reach, but that is more to do with the combination if case style and design of the tablet which angles it more to the rear. Additionally I tested if the sleep/wake magnet triggers when the front flap is folded back (a known issue with some cases where too strong a magnet is used), fortunately it just ignored it in that position.
Not an issue for me, but the new version no longer includes an elasticated loop as the side for storing a stylus or pen.
The case allows you to prop it up for ease of reading and viewing stuff. The angles are fine for seeing what going on, the only downside is that in the more vertical angle, it is easy to knock over if you try to prod the screen.
To sum up, excellant case for the price and great service from the supplier.

A well-built case that fits the tablet well. Just slide the Nexus in, secure with the Velcro catch and it’s done.Close the front cover and the Nexus goes to sleep- open the cover and it wakes straight away.Useful stylus fits onto the cover as well. About 18mm thick overall. Superb value and it looks the part!

Wow! Version 2 is a winner!,

|2nd Generation Case is Perfect,
