Protects the minimum for the price.

First, the Nvidia Shield Cover only protects the screen simply. So for the rear, if unfortunately you drop the tablet, the main camera and the back cover risk morfler.
In addition to the level of fixation, it's just magnetized in the left side the Shield. there are tabs on the cover that fit together / magnetize the two slots provided for this purpose on the tablet. So even the tablet angles are not protected. the advantage is that you do not risk scratching the angles precisely by putting / removing the cover. So no risk of dust or dirt that slip between the tablet and classic covers.

The connection between the cover and the shield is through a small hinge metal. The interior of the cover is "padded", and the outside has a striated made. The cover is composed of 3 parts, one foldable smaller. Once returned, there are two places where magnetic smallest can take position to "fix" the back of the tablet in landscape format. If one chooses the lowest zone, the shield is slightly inclined "bridge". If we choose the area in the middle, the shield is tilted to a "shelf" use for comfort. There is one final way to "present" the tablet.

For the first two, it is the folded flaps 3 that held up the tablet. Finally this is the first flap that was pinned to the ground. For the latter, it is the Shield which "keeps the cover". In fact you return the tablet to the top touches the ground. This is the second attachment area mentioned above or in addition you do "fall" the tablet back. So, the tablet is more inclined.
To clarify that the cover is on. IF you open the cover, it lights up the screen of the Shield, but does not unlock. It is then necessary to unlock slider. And when you close the cover, she turned off the shelf.
