The hottest new device is the Google Nexus 7 and the Cooper Smile folio case has the flair to match. The design contains a sleep/wake magnet and has all the precise openings to keep the device fully functional. The three rails on the inside of the case stand out here, not just with their bright color, but their ability to hold the Nexus 7 in 3 different viewing angles.

Pros

  • Sturdy, triple-angled stand design
  • Scratch, water-resistant exterior
  • Auto sleep/wake feature
  • Secure magnetic cover closure

Cons

  • Generic looks and material
  • No comfortable typing angle

Overview

The Cooper Smile folio case is available in five different colors: black, white, red, brown or purple. The exterior is a smooth, soft polyurethane material. while the interior is a cross between fabric and micro-suede. All together, the material construction serves-up generous protection against bumps, dings and scratches.

The Nexus 7 fits comfortably snug and secure inside the polyurethane bezel. The frame has openings for all buttons, input/output ports and front camera. The inner cover has three rails that stand the tablet in multiple viewing angles (approx 40°, 55° and 65°). The stand design is very sturdy on level surfaces. Magnets in the cover not only sleep/wake the device, but also ensure secure case closure.

RatingDescription
N/A
3.5Functionality:
The Cooper Smile folio provides a sleep/wake function with clear access to buttons, ports and the front camera. The stand feature offers multiple viewing angles in landscape format. Works just as well in the lap as it does on level surfaces.
4.0Protection:
Direct splash spills onto the faux exterior won’t affect the tablet. The Cooper Smile primarily works as a shield against bumps, dings and scratches.
3.0Quality:
Nothing special, but nothing to shake a stick at either. Complementing its design for protection is the PU leather construction, which to me feels very capable of enduring common everyday use.
3.0Value:
The design and function strike up a nice accord with casual users and students, and so does its $29.95 cost.
3.4Overall: Medicore

The Cooper Smile does well to compliment the Nexus 7’s function and its general usability. This is a solid solution for those in rush to fit their newest toy. And the affordable price is sure to make anyone smile.

"Stable and durable"

on 2012 Oct, 18 by James Hardwick
I was looking for something to put on my Nexus 7, and Cooper had the answer for me. This folio is easy to slip the tablet into, it’s durable and both water and scratch resistant. However, the soft exterior leather not only protects the device, but offers great looks. And don’t forget the on/off function, magnetic closure mechanism, and comfy stand angles.
