SD Tabletwear - Google Nexus 7 Black Gel Case - Includes Table Stand and Screen Protector

I was only looking for a cheap and cheerful case to temporarily protect my nexus tablet till I found more time to search for the 'ideal cover'. This pack seemed liked good value as I was going to need a screen protector anyway, and so I went with it.

It arrived the day after my nexus did, was packaged very nicely. Overall, it has actually really impressed me partly because of how well put thought out and put together it is, and surprisingly every component is well made. Sometimes these packs have one good product and the rest are usually things that end up in the bin a few days later.

For me the most surprising was the stand, which is very well designed and well built stand. It has adjustable ridges (similar to how the back of a deck chair works), it can fold flat so it can be slipped in to a laptop bag and carried around, but most importantly is it stable enough to securely hold the tablet, whether in a vertical or horizontal position. I actually spent an hour lying on the sofa yesterday with the stand resting in front of me on the sofa, I surfed the net, played around with settings etc and at no point did I feel like the Nexus was going to slip out of the stand, or that the stand was going to topple over on to the floor.

The case itself is a gel case which protects the back of the tablet. It moulds around the tablet for a perfect fit, it doesn't add bulk that other leather cases would (may even be able to fit in to a leather case for added protection with a tight fit, but I have no way of checking). And it has the obvious cut-outs for charger points, front camera etc.

The screen protector does what it needs to with finger prints and scratches to the screen etc, but its the only thing protecting the screen. That said however, I think I am actually going to carry on using this case because the gel case keeps my tablet slim and light. Plus with the added portable stand, it already replicates what most leather cases these days do. I may still buy a sleeve to put the tablet in when I am travelling (as I don't trust myself to look after the tablet as much when on holiday or running through airports etc). However for day to day use, this pack is more than sufficient for me to use my tablet around the house or office.

I would have no problem recommending this pack to anyone who may have any hesitations.

I was worried given the low price that the cover would have a cheap feel to it, however, when it arrived I was very happy to find it a decent plastic and the design is also quite tasteful. All the holes are in exactly the right position and are smoothly cut. As the other reviews have noted, the cover hardly affects the size at all.

I had no trouble with the screen protector, again it fit perfectly and I didn't get any bubbling. The stand is very light yet sturdy enough that I don't worry about it toppling and throwing my nexus about.

Overall, I'm very impressed, definitely worth the money.

I wasn't expecting much from this considering the price but it's actually pretty good. The case itself is a sort of rubbery material that stretches over the back of the device but looks like a plastic shell-type case once in place. It's a combination of matt and gloss finish that compliments the design of the Nexus pretty well. Fits very snugly around the front to protect the edges, creating a slightly raised rim as you look at the Nexus from the front. Very easy to slide in and out if you want to.

The screen protector went on as well as these things normally do but they can be a bit of a lottery and are easily ruined by a stray speck of dust. Might be worth spending a fiver on a pack of six available elsewhere so you have a few spares.

The stand looks a little cheap. But it's reasonably sturdy and does the job. And you're not really going to be looking closely at it when the Nexus is on it.

Overall, would easily be worth the money just for the case, so the screen protector and stand are a great bonus.
