-Since The Home button of the Tab 3 8.0 protrudes slightly, it happens quite often that one (even at a distance of about 4cm) this accidentally operated by pressing on the cover and the display turns on.
#This Would probably not be the case if the tray at the bottom would be the same as on the sides.
-The Magnetic latch on the side way when held in the hand and when the Tab 3 8.0 would insert into a pocket (pants, jacket, etc.).
#This Would not be the case, if the tab would be attached to the top or bottom.
-The Small on / off button and the volume button can be operated worse by the "thick" web of the plastic cup.
#A Interruption of the side shell at this point would be an advantage here.
-The Edges of the upper and lower covers are on the sides produced easily, which is a bit annoying when held in the hand (for example, reading).
Conclusion:
To chat or movies - View from the bed to the desk a very good thing.
On the move, to read and to hold in hand rather unsuitable, unless you modify yourself (cut magnetic flap, remove bridge) want.
