Another positive is the first fit. The tablet sits safely and securely, but could be easily put into the envelope. So it is neither too close nor too far. All connections are easily accessible, cutouts for the speaker and the camera exist at the back and are placed in the right place. Another plus is the Smart Cover functionality, ie the tablet screen automatically goes on when you open up the cover and switches off when you close the cover. This works by magnet which ensures at the same time that the cover remains closed when the lid snaps shut. Equally pleasing is the addition of a ballpoint pen, with its back you can use the touch screen. The pen can be well stowed in the holder provided.
Negative must be noted that the shell has a very strong smell, which can only be described as unpleasant (and subjectively also unhealthy). Even after more than a week now that smell is not yet completely disappeared. Also negatively the processing falls on in some places, especially in the area of the seam between the inner and outer material. However, these minor optical flaws are still absolutely in the frame for the given price.
For handling it should be noted that the sheath is well and comfortably in your hand. Use the bracket on the back can be set up without any problems the tablet. The fixation of the lid in the bracket, the tablet can also "turn upside down" and thus set at a flatter angle. However, front camera and light sensor are then on the screen bottom. Unfortunately not isolated Apps this screen orientation and thus can not be in this position to use (unless you do a headstand ...).
All in all it is a decent product, which was good to very good meets the expected requirements (protection, user-friendly operation) at a more than fair price. A 5-star rating achieved, however due to the workmanship and most of all because of the unpleasant smell is not.
