But first: What was for me in my decision important?
The Case / Cover should be as simple, thin and elegant, so that I can just plug and take in my pocket. A tablet pocket came from the beginning of the question, because it is both annoying in my opinion, to take the good machine repeatedly from his pocket and the other hand, visually at all does not suit me. Many others cover also came out of the question, because these are placed over the "framework" of the tablets and make the whole visually unappealing to me. So I wanted to carry around in your pocket only with me the good device, the case in should be able to protect the unit and especially the screen against loose and possibly Sharp objects.
Here there were the first doubts on my part, because the Flipcover compared to may SmartCover the main competitors muster no magnetic lock or similar, for example, to close the cover. That is, if it runs quite stupid, because you can sometimes fall a pen between cover and screen and push the loose. So I looked around for alternatives first, Best in the design of Flipcovers (which I really promised), but with a shutter chance.
From the idea of a Case to buy with magnets I strayed quickly because I had read many times that this influence on the writing with the S-Pen can have me and the risk it was just too big. After further research I discovered a Flipcover like this one, but with an elastic band to fix the cover lid. If the price had not been so exorbitant that I had slammed safe there. Finally, I got me thinking: Why not buy the much cheaper Flipcover and create even with an elastic band, a locking possibility?
No sooner said than done: ordered Flipcover and stitched together a rubber band to the right length for a loop. (In which the tablet was transported almost every day in his pocket) pulled over the cover and lo and behold, the lid is in the well 2 months risen even once. Alternatively, you can also take the larger hair bands that are similar in cheap fashion discounters can buy. In example. Neonorange makes visually well what forth.
For the processing and fit lot has been written here. The fit is perfect, the installation very easy. The whole cover feels very high quality and after 2 months of constant subjection I can still see the great signs of wear on the material. My fear that the material could be highly susceptible to contamination may have so far proved unfounded, as is the fear has been taken from me, that the original cover could feel just as cheap as the biggest main competitors. In addition, there are no sharp edges and the notch for the headphones is very elegant solution, although there can be complications because of the width of the connector even with headphones from third parties. Openings for S-Pen, the camera and flash sit, as you can expect from an original cover also the perfect. Are located on the lower side "rubber stoppers", so that the case does not slip when placing.
The set-up options are not so diverse and stable as in the one or the other case. This can be my opinion, but do not expect in the material thickness. The deeper Aufstellform is still very stable, because the whole thing is fixed with a magnet. The higher form is expected to be rather wobbly and example. Should be enjoyed in jerky ride on the train with caution. On a table in a non-moving area, but the tablet can also set up without hesitation high. Just be aware that the middle part back perpendicular to bottom, so that the tablet does not simply flips backwards.
Nevertheless, I feel it is a pity that in their current form, the tablet can not be loaded bedenklos because the connection of the charging cable is down. But this is actually a design problem of Tablets and less of the case. In the deeper formation form which is on a table edge still possible, on the table, however, you realize that the connection of the cable is slightly pushed upward and then certainly bent over time. Although you can take the tablet out of the case and vice versa reinsert, but that's my opinion only one - with the time very annoying - stopgap. In addition, it is the cut-outs for S-Pen, camera, flash and headphone no longer in the right place and the constant turning of the tablets will leave over time also scratches on the corners. If someone does not bother, he has found a workable solution to the problem.
The price is not cheap, but you also get an adequate processing. If there were a shutter chance and were not present the problem to the charging cable, I would have no hesitation to give 5 stars. So there is a deduction. However, I am personally very happy with it and would recommend to anyone looking for something elegant and simple for its tablet, in which the set-up options are not decisive, give a buy recommendation.
