I initially bought the Samsung tablet a original cover, with which I was satisfied but not (as function deficient; cover always getting picked up, so to display, ...) So I looked for an alternative. The new shell I have now for a week and it is far better than the original! The state function is stable, the magnetic closure keeps the lid where it belongs, the tablet is still slim and the price is only 1/4 of the original price. All in all, so far a good grip!
