NOTE: Fortunately Amazon has the following notice on this item: "Currently unavailable. We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock."

Before buying this case for my Acer Iconia Tab W500 10.1 inch tablet, I did a lot of research and read a lot of reviews--not just at Amazon--over a period of two weeks. In one of the reviews, a woman stated that she didn't like a case she bought because of the horrible odor but it would cost too much to return it to the supplier in Europe so she was stuck with it. I then made a mental note to be sure I didn't buy one from a foreign manufacturer.

But guess what! Amazon didn't give the location of the supplier in the details, and in my naivete as a new Amazon user, I assumed that I could return the case to Amazon in the unlikely event that it wasn't what I expected. I now have a case with a bad odor that costs $60-$100 to return to England! It's advertised as "premium" leather, so I wasn't concerned until I received it and found that it did have a strong, horrendous odor. I promptly placed it in my utility room in hopes the odor would dissipate. Because I was anxious to get a case to protect my tablet, I checked it every day to see if I could use it. Although I already had a bag to carry the tablet, keyboard, and accessories, I wanted more protection for the tablet while I was using it. After a week the odor seemed to have dissipated, and I gladly tried it on my tablet.

The case fit perfectly, allowing access to all the buttons, both cameras, USB ports, etc. The tablet even attaches to the keyboard without the need to remove the case, and the built-in stand is nice because the tablet is somewhat top heavy. The magnetic closure is great. The tablet seems to be well shielded in case I accidentally drop it. At first I only used the tablet occasionally. But later, when I used it for an hour or so at a time I could smell the odor while using the tablet and I could still smell it on my hands until I washed them--sometimes after washing them.

So much for "premium" leather.

P.S. I still haven't applied the protector film on the screen so I can't comment on it.
