solid, well suited, not too thick = good protection as I expected magnets work well (it took them 3 days to be effective !!) side use as carrier it must be stall the flap to fit up not very practical to cast off to take pictures, or he must let dangle the flap in book reading mode, the flap is slightly wider than the back of the cover, it takes getting used to neither loving nor cracks that bar after a month of use
