The advantage of this hull is to replace the existing lower shell with the addition of a flap. I appreciate the fine and ergonomics: although we take in hand the Galaxy Note. It's aesthetic & chic. You get used to the flap. The flap has no magnetic closure but it's not annoying and closed it "sticks" well to the screen to avoid the insertion of dust. Price. I previously had a thicker shell, it was embarrassing for a device that is large and thus more difficult to handle in width.
