The holster flap gives the Galaxy Note 8.0 a certain class, while protecting the screen (it also lights up when the flap is opened, and switches off at closing). Very convenient to put the tablet in landscape mode, either to strum or watching a movie, different inclinations are possible. I did that for several days, so I can not attest to the strength of the flap or not in time, by dint of openings / closings, supporting the weight of the tablet in landscape mode ... I just know for now it suits me perfectly, and as long as one is careful, they are not left lying around the tablet anywhere, or purse where there is a complete mess, everything should be fine go! I recommend to those looking for protection for a minimum of space, even with a bonus effect to his book shelf.
