Navitech Black Executive Premium Leather Flip Carry Case With Adjustable Stand For The Asus EeePad T

Navitech Black Executive Premium Leather Flip Carry Case With Adjustable Stand For The Asus EeePad Transformer TF101 10.1 inch Tablet PC Android 3.0
  • The leather cover adds style, personalization and protects your asus from bumps, scratches, and falls
  • stands in portrait and Landscape for perfect viewing pleasure when watching films or gaming
  • Includes magnetic sleep wake function for ease of use
  • Stand has three slots for your ipad so to obtain perfect eye level with device.
  • Full access to all functions & charging while cased including access to screen functions

The case is subpar. It's made of pseudo leather that looks and feels more like plastic. The edges of open areas (e.g. port cut-outs) are lined with some plastic material (that's supposed to look like leather but doesn't) that falls off roughly a couple of weeks into use! Fortunately you can just peel it off and it doesn't detract much at all from the looks. But it does make those peeled edges feel a bit sharp.

There is a button which attaches the inner-swivel part with the exterior case. This causes a bulge in the back of the case that prevents it from lying flush on the bottom. In fact, put it on any flat surface and you can spin the case on the button! Ridiculous. Lie it on the front to avoid this design flaw. This design also requires two full back pieces, so it adds additional bulk over other case designs. I don't like it. Also, if you fold the back over there is a 1" spine. It helps for a typing angle, but doesn't feel good in the hand. (You can always hold it from the thinner side, so no biggie.)

Everything else works fine and it does protect the TF101 quite well. I had mine in a backpack secured to the back of my bike. The bag fell off and dragged along the ground for some time. It ripped a hole in the backpack and tore a little through the case, but didn't touch the TF101--so there you go! It's tough. But honestly, I can't recommend this thing.

Benefits: horizontal *and vertical* stand, compliments of the button design. (Given what I said above, there's a pay-off for that, however.)
