I have the Blurex Ultra Slim http://www.amazon.com/Blurex-Ultra-Google-Tablet-Multi-Angle/dp/B009W5YQ86 and I love it. Slightly thicker than something like the poetic case. But to me seems more durable, and also has three different possible viewing angles (even more if you do some finagling in terms of placement on body or surface). Also has a smart cover, and isn't too expensive. Everything is also really accessible.
I got a case like that (this one), but it was so bulky that I couldn't stand using it. I'm now using a landscape-only stand case (this one), which is nice and thin, but isn't so great as a stand (landscape-only, plus only a couple options for the angle).
If you found something better, I'd be interested in seeing it.
I bought this Blurex case about 45 days ago and have been really pleased with it. No weird smells, fits like a charm, doesn't cover up any ports or cameras or buttons, and is really convenient for folding into a stand. The only complaint I have is how the handle needs to be rotated 90 degrees, but that's a minor complaint.
Edit: fixed the link
