Case for Nexus 7 - Great Shipping Rates to Canada!

The Nexus 7 tablet is pretty new and there aren't a lot of cases out there and even fewer with the un-documented magnetic wake/sleep feature built into it. This feature is something that most iPad owners are familiar with.  The cover has a magnet built into it and so does the tablet. With the cover closed the magnet (located on the left side about 1/3 of the way down) the Nexus 7 goes into sleep mode.  When the cover is fully opened it wakes up.  No more using the button to turn the unit on and off.
I looked at a lot of cases from a lot of websites (many questionable) before ordering the SD TabletWear Stand and Type case from MobileFun.com.  I mostly based my decision on features and price ($20.99 US).  It's a great solid case with a decent faux leather look.  It does add weight and thickness to the Nexus 7, but I do want protection after all.  The cover also bends so it can be stood up on an easy viewing angle.
The only complaints I have is that the power and sound buttons are a little hard to get to and the "shade" notification is a little harder to activate because the cover holder is a little in the way.
I was wary of the low shipping cost of $6 (I actually ordered two and the shipping cost was the same) since it was coming from the UK to Canada, but it arrived in 6 days - right in the promised 4-8 day time frame.  I could have chosen the $15 shipping option which includes tracking, but I cheaped out. In the end I was pleasantly surprised with the shipping experience.  Its always nice to see a vendor that easily ships to Canada.
Overall, I would highly recommend this cover and the vendor.  They shipped right away (and it arrived!) and the case is solid, functional and priced really well.
