First off - the appearance and quality of the shell is not bad. But if, like me, want to protect the tablet primarily in the purse, and the variable line-up only a dispensable 'nice to have' is, there are many disadvantages: The shell is hard. Due to the weight and the drop down parts it is troublesome to keep the tablet longer in one hand. I use it as well as standing for reading ... The envelope loves crumbs, fibers and all patches makes. Can no longer separate them .... The shop in the shaky charging station is not exactly easier - quite the opposite. For me, this bag is now in a shelf corner. The tablet plugged for transport in a cloth bag and is 'pure' used.
