The case fits snugly to the tablet. Certainly this makes the thicker but it also protects. It allows installation in landscape or portrait mode very simply. A magnetic system "wakes up" and off the shelf when you open or close the case. Access to various locations (eg charger, microSD card) is possible without removing the case. Only the magnetic charging location is hidden when the case is closed (you have to leave the case open in order to plug in the cable). Externally, the case looks good and seems durable. The price is reasonable. To see in the long term.
