when there is more than one entry in a review queue, i sometimes would like to defer consideration of an entry until later, but look at entries that come after it in the queue. this possibility isn't available -- "skip" permanently removes the entry from consideration.
this "question" is a followup to How to deal with robo-reviewers?, which nicely covers the options that are available.
Here's a less hack-ish (but still suboptimal) way: If you don't want to take an action, go back to the list of review queues (using the "back" button or by clicking on the "Review" link on the top left). The post you were just looking at will be temporarily removed from the queue, so if you select it again, you will see a different post. (I don't know at what point the "skipped" question reappears in the queue; from what I've seen, I'd guess 15 minutes or so. EDIT: I just tested it; seems more like 5-10 minutes)
A few weeks ago, we added the ability to see reviews you've previously skipped. If I understand this request right, the existing skip option now behaves like the defer option you were asking for, so this request is now obsolete (or, if you're feeling charitable, completed).
Here's a hack-ish way to defer your review:
Remember the URL (copy-and-paste it somewhere), and click Skip. While this will remove it from the review queue view (since it's been skipped) you can still access the review via the copied URL. When you're ready to re-review the item, paste the stored URL;
Click the Skip button but remember the post involved in the review. When you want to re-review the item, find it in the review queue history and click on any review choice made by a reviewer.
Option (2) is similar to (1) since they both point to the same URL.
