Video Review: Quibits / Basal Enterprises FlexVue TPU Case

I haven't seen any videos of this case, so I thought I'd put together a quick review for you guys. It's a pretty neat case, I kind of prefer it to the TPU-Cases model, I just wish the top was completely covered.
Also, the title should read "qubits" not "quibits".

Love the video, looks very professional. On a quick note. I wanted to point out that Yoobao has a somewhat similar TPU case with that missing top part that you mention was missing cover.
Here is a link for it:

Again, thank you for the video.

Thanks for the link! That case looks like a real winner. I might have to purchase it and review it - from the looks of it, it also still has the large Micro-USB cut out.

Well, I purchased it and received it yesterday. I love the darn thing. The screen protector was cut out for the device, because it has the cut out exactly where the light sensor is. (I also installed and had 0 problems with the installation.)

I have this Yoobao but I decided I wanted to keep the cheapie kickstand case. I still haven't opened it to test it. I can do that or if you want I can sell it to anyone here for 10bux shipped, if you are in the USA. I posted this in the marketplace, but I do not think many others venture out of the device forums lol

How does it fit? Is it really tight? I'm looking for a TPU case because the Tmob case I got when I got the phone is simply way too floppy and loose. That Yoobao you posted is exactly what I'm looking for because I want a clear case to show off the phone's design. If the fit is tight and the cutouts all align nicely I'm purchasing it immediately lol.
To stay on topic, the OP's video looks very professional and I've looked at the Qubits case a lot too.

It fits like a glove, no flimsiness and not loose at all! Every single cutout is made EXACTLY where it needs to be. I was amazed by that.

Thanks for the review. Looks like a better case than the rubber one I got from T-Mobile for $20. The case is too loose around the sides. I already scraped the side with my key. I will be buying one of these TPU's.

1 more question: how long did it take for you to get it? I really want to try it out, but I'm leaving for college in 13 days, so the fact that it's shipping from Hong Kong kinda makes me worried that I wouldn't get it in time.

If in the uk amazon sell the grey one through a seller named "podjunkie" bit the order is fufilled by amazon

That was a great review, thanks! I think I'm going to pick up the smoked one, but I would love if the black one had the middle clear like the smoked one does. Right now I have the Incipio NGP but the open volume rocker and clear center make this very appealing

Sorry for the mega-necro, but I am selling all of my leftover HTC Sensation accessories at very low prices. Please help out a student and check out my marketplace posting.

i got similar case ( black , not transparent and slightly different in design) as OP from amazon for $5.99 with free 2 days shipping ( 4 bucks cheaper ^^). This is really good case, fit tight and look awesome. As OP said,only weak point is that this case doesn't cover the top ( i guess they decide to design this way so you can put in/ or take off the case easier. I have similar type of this case for my mytouch 4G, my nexus S and it is a little bit more difficult to take the case off or put it in) This is always my first choice when i buy my phone's case.

This is honestly the best case I've ever used. Fits perfectly, adds a nice feel to the phone (I don't feel like it will snap in my hand anymore).

Kensington's keyfolio for iPads works, a little tight though (borrowed a friend's case).
Just ran across the following;

Looks exactly like the keyfolio, but cheaper. I'll know more when it arrives in a few days.

This is the one I purchased a little while back - I got it for $20.00 - Amazon Prime free 2 day shipping.
Love the damned thing - if you can find it anywhere else around that price, I would jump on it - it's a great quality product for that price.

Good news, it arrived today. Bad news, I sent it back for a refund.
Initially I was OK with it. The build quality wasn't as good as a Kensington keyfolio, but for $34 plus shipping I wasn't going to complain too much. The keyboard paired fine and most of the special top keys worked (4th and 5th key did nothing). However when the elastic strap came loose from low quality stitching after around 6 times closing the case, I decided to return it. I exerted no more force than necessary to stretch the strap around the cover.
Now that I've compared it with the Kensington case, I can definitely say the Kensington is well worth the extra cost. This is disappointing since this is the only keyboard+case with "HP Touchpad" in the product description I'm aware of.

PROs:
Better fit for the Touchpad that the Kensington cases. See this threadhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17133290 where I tried out the Kensington case.
Hard plastic keys versus rubber keys on the Kensington case. That said, apparently the newer Kensington cases have hard plastic keys. Rubber keyboards may not bother some, but I find them hard to use.
CONs:
Even with rubber keys, the Kensington keyboard is rigid and sturdy. The Goldx keyboard is disturbing non-rigid, even flimsy. I'm also concerned how it will wear over time. As you can see from the pictures, there is so much gap between keys you can actually see under them. It is a magnet for crumbs/etc getting under the keys. (Hey, everyone likes to eat crackers and type, right?)
Stitching. The reason I returned it, and severely lacking compared to the Kensington. Look at the pics and judge for your self.
Unless you tilt the screen all the way up, the "grips" that hold the bottom of the pad aren't sufficient to keep it from slipping forward and onto the keyboard from the least bit of vibration, such as someone bumping the table. The rigid keyboard on the Kensington does an excellent job holding it it place.
Conclusion:
Not worth the money. After I get the refund, I'll look at getting a Kensington case with hard keys. Barnes and Nobles has one for $53, and as long as they are prompt with the refund I'll give them another chance. Of course, I'll be back to the tight case problem. My sister is a good seamstress, and I'll see If I can get her to adjust it to better fit the Touchpad.
Wish me luck.

Great review although sorry product didn't work out. I ordered one of these to try: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004DXGOA0/ref=pe_175190_21431760_C1_cs_sce_3p_dp_1
The dimensions between the ipad 1 and the touchpad are within a couple of mm at most and any case should have enough give to handle it. I'll report back after receiving it.

Thanks for your review and I'm sorry it didn't work out It would be amazing if we could get a case like the clam case for the ipad (http://clamcase.com/bluetooth-ipad-keyboard-case.html). Out of curiousity, would the touchpad fit in a zaggfolio?

This in fact was the exact keyboard I got down to the paper insert in the review being the same. Very pleased with it for $25 shipped.

just wanted to mention that you guys could consider the aluminium keyboard cases for ipad 1 such as http://chinagrabber.com/ipad-blueto...keyboard-aluminum-case-holder--icase-467.aspx
I picked one up while I was over in taiwan last month (not the one linked, but similiar) and it seems to fix/work. But as mentioned the product I picked up isn't the one I linked, I actually don't know the name of the case I got, it was from a night market stall and written in chinese (I can't read it :S) and I think it was a knock off of a case. It might be because it's a knockoff and not properly fitted to the ipad 1 but it fit my touchpad :S. I did have to put in a little extra padding around the corners (afraid it would fall out if it was too lose :S).
Not promising it would fit, and it is expensive but maybe try looking into something similiar? I haven't bought from that site either and can't verify the trustworthiness of it, but just linked it to give you guys an idea of what I was talking about.

All of the aluminum cases are really expensive though I don't want to buy one just to experiment, and I can't justify the price either way. If anyone has a case with a keyboard they would recommend, please do, I would highly appreciate it!!

Seems to be just right to me...not to loose..not to tight....you can tilt it every which way and it's not moving...camera hole even seems to line up...the review I linked to (originally posted by another user) shows it off pretty well. It linked fine and I've used it..even has a button which takes you to home screen.

Tab S 8.4 Cases

I wanted to mention that B&H Photo Video has the Samsung Booklet Case for $43 where it retails elsewhere for $59 and Samsung's simple case is $24 that retails for $39.

Belkin trifold case
I picked up the Belkin trifold case. Not my favorite by any stretch but there are not many choices out there. Here is my review.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5r0ARFiUw7Q&list=UUYO_YUHK7ZROCqJMtSOuOHQ&feature=share

I bought the one made by Samsung for the 8.4 and it is by far the best case I have ever had for a tablet. Barely increases the thickness compared to other cases, extremely light and very easy to use for propping up and installing. Granted it is more expensive than the others but I think it is worth it.

I've never experienced a case of this high quality before. Really impressed by Samsung here. :good:

It gives it a very professional and polished look. My co-workers are very jealous... hehe.

Get the Book Cover. I was torn at first. I liked the idea of the case as a stand but was afraid it would be too bulky. It is not. It is very thin and light and I see no use in getting the Simple Cover. To each his own however.

The Samsung covers looked great but I think they don't provide the protection I would want for a device that does a lot of traveling. I have decided to buy two generic cases. I chose styles that I have used in the past and have found the quality to be good and the prices are right
1) A generic fake leather cover for rough travel.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L6MGAH8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
2) A slim style for around the house. I like these because they consist of a plastic shell that completely protects the body of the tablet and it's easy to remove (Unlike the Samsung case)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L6M1UNW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Now I just need a tempered glass screen protector and I will be all set.

I looked at both of those. I got a Samsung cover for my Note 10.1 long ago and it was wonderful, so I got the book cover for the 8.4, despite the hefty price. I thought the flap might be a nuisance, but it's not been a problem. This is the all around best case for fit, weight, protection. Handy to have the screen cut off when you cover it.

I received a free Samsung case when I bought the Tab S. I really think it looks great but what I didn't like was how stiff it was to attach and separate. I also felt that the case seemed flimsy unless the cover is latched around the front. If you dropped the tablet, when attached to the Samsung case, and it's not securely closed the cover would open and the table would be exposed. The cheap cases I ordered may not be as classy but they completely protect the tablet body (within reason). I I'll just keep the Samsung case for when I eventually sell (or give to a relative) this tablet. For under $20 I was able to buy both cases and when they wear out or get dirty I'll spend another 20 to buy two more.

I agree with the comments on the book cover case. Too expensive and not enough protection.

I picked up the book cover and it seems like it will work well. I may return it and go without a cover. I honestly do not have much use for a cover. DirecTV accidental damage protection covers my tablet with a $50 deductible. Cheaper then a Samsung case in the fist place.

Just picked up the titanium book cover. I haven't like Samsung covers in the past but this is a very nice case. I agree it's way too expensive, but I had a 50% off from Samsung from my note 3. It's very slim and fairly light(though definitely adds weight). The magnets are super strong, and the folding positions are nice. Yes it's hard to unsnap, but I found if you stick a finger in the middle and sludge left or right it comes out ok. No issues snapping in.
my only gripe is the flap when closed actually isn't tight across the screen and if you squeeze the edges it opens a bit. Not a big deal.

Top Case
Fits perfectly! Far better "Book case" than the ones for the other Samsung Tablets!

Its a cover, not a case. It covers the screen, and folds into a stand. Thats all it was ever meant to really do. Protect the screen when its not in use. If you think of it like that instead of 'this doesn't protect my tablet at all!', it really does what its supposed to. The magnets could be stronger (they're strong enough in the kb case,) and it could be a better design like the iPad covers, but for $20? Sure, I'll bite.

its a pile of rubbish at 100% off....

is the keyboard case any better?

I just tryed to buy it but the minute I clicked Buy the price changed to normal. GRR!

please, HELP ME
Can any one help me activate my HTC HD7 T9292, Help me with activation code for my phone.t

At $20 I took the gamble. Worst case scenario I return it for a refund. It's already been shipped. So far so good.

Agreed. A piece of cardboard is a bit better than this overpriced piece of trash.

I just received mine today and I got to say, I am very impressed! Both the package and the cover itself feel very premium.
The cover itself is very thin and light and therefore adds minimal weight and bulk, which I like. Why buy a light and thin device to only make it heavy and bulky with some clunky case? With that said, this is a COVER, not a case.
The magnets are stronger than I expected. The cover stays connected to the device quite well. I didn't think I could do this but it's very easy to flip it from front to back like you would a smart cover.
It's very easy to fold it into a stand. I wasn't sure how to do it at first but it just happened. The magnets definitely helped getting the parts to fold as they should.
The camera app launched very quickly when the flap is folded down. I'm not sure how often I would use this feature as I rarely use the tablet's camera but it's definitely neat.
Had I bought this at full price, I probably wouldn't be as excited. However, at $20, I am VERY happy with it.

just received mine as well. Haven't ripped the seal yet. Video to come.

Got mine couple of days ago and thought I chime in on the product.
First, I'm very glad I paid only $20 for this cover and in all honesty, I think HTC should only charge $10-$15 for this thing. My break down as below.
Design: A-
The design focused on packing in the standard cover features (cover, stands, etc.) into one simple cover. I think the did well with the folding cutouts and magnets are pretty unique.
Applicability/Usuablity: C-
Although the design concept is great, but the actual experience is far from their conceptual design. I think mostly is due to the magnet not begin strong enough on both N9 and the cover. When used to cover the front of the tablet, the magnets is very weak that you can basically slide the cover off the alignment quite easily. This is quite annoying because you then now have to adjust to how you should flip a cover open, basically, it requires you to open the cover gently so that the cover stays aligned with the tablet.
Because the magnet is not strong enough, don't expect the cover to hold on to your tablet slip out of your hand.
Value: C- (for $20) and D-- (for $40)
For 50% off coupon, it's worth a shot but I'm still left unsatisfied because my $8 bumper case (without stand capability) looks and function more sturdier than this cover.
With a $40 price tag, I say F that.
Hope this helps.

Awesome! Thanks for this, I actually ordered the Verus IS AGAIN two days ago. I cancelled my initial order in hopes of finding a deal on them, when it turned over to this week I wanted to make sure I had a case ready for my phone. They go on sale two days later.. ugh! Oh well, I placed a new order and I'll just refuse shipment. Now to wait and see if Spigen has one more case sale, I'll pick up a Neo Hybrid Metal too and compare them!

Thank you for posting this! Got me a nice leather wallet case for $5!

Ugh I just got my metal frame one and I hate it. Its so tight it feels like your gonna break the phone every time you put it in or take it it. Its awful. It also affects signal slightly.

Well any metal frame one will have SOME signal loss but I didn't find anything noticeable. I will agree with the tight fit but the last thing you would want would be a loose case., How do your buttons feel? Mine are difficult to press with the case on. I LOVE the case otherwise.

The buttons are practically useless, there is no feel. I agree about the tightness but it is wayyy too tight. I really thought I was going to break my phone taking it out.

It's a really good case, the kind you can permanently keep on... But the buttons are crap.. You almost have to dig your nail into it for a press.
The case was almost impossible to remove. I needed pliers to pull the tpu out from under the bumper to free one of the corners, so the rest can come off.

Dang! Missed this! Code expired =(
