I am very surprised by these cases... pleasantly in fact! I like this case a lot. It has two MS slots so I can carry around my 128 and 64 meg sticks with me all the time. The leather is extremely soft. I guess I have been buying cheap leather all of my life, because I didn't realize it could be this nice. They fit pretty snug, but there is a very slight exposure from the front flap not coming all the way down the front of the NX. I imagine they used the same case as the NR series, and cut a hole in it for the WiFi port. I was afraid that these cases would make my unit too big to carry around in my pocket, but I have not noticed too much of a difference. It also just looks plain slick... professional. I love being able to carry my NX around in tablet mode, this is the orientation I use it in the most. I read that the case would pull the stylus out when the unit was removed, but I have not had that problem yet. What is everyone else's experiance with these cases? __________________ Ocell.Blog: Organisms Meet Machinery Ocell.Photo

I don't have a WiFi card so I can't test it, but it looks like the cutout doesn't quite line up right with the CF slot. I took my dust cover out, put the case on the NX, and then tried to put the dust cover back in as a way to test the fit, and it just about broke the dust cover it was putting so much pressure on it. I never got it all the way in. __________________ Ocell.Blog: Organisms Meet Machinery Ocell.Photo

Kind of like breaking in a baseball mit. Just don't take oil and a rubberband to your case! __________________ If at first you don't succeed.......skydiving is not for you....

I thought the case was rubbing on the NX and causing the NX paint to wear off, but that wasn't the case. The mirror is a bit "girlish" I have no use for a mirror. Other than that, it works as a case should. And it is a hell of a lot cheaper than the Vaja Cases.. I bought the vaja case for my NR, but didn't like it. Made the NR too bulky.

It's my understanding the case has been redesigned with a bigger opening for the Wi-Fi card.

I decided to keep the case, but it does bother me a bit. I don't think breaking it in will help because this area does not really stretch.
