Default Rotating cases: any good?

Hi all, I was looking to invest in a rotating case for my 7.7 (when I get one!).
Like this one on eBay here.

Has anyone tried these sorts of cases? What's your verdict? Ultimately I'd prefer something like this but it seems it only comes in sizes for the 7.0 Plus.

I have the rotating case and for me is better than the genuine case. I don't mind the slightly extra bulkiness. Thrown my genuine case into the drawer. Only my experience.

In my opinion I like better the original samsung case, I've seen those rotating cases and they look bulky and I'll never going to get use to that cylinder in the back. In the original case it just fits right, clean and not bulky at all, but again, that's my preference... The bad: it's a lot more expensive.
I also bought one of those plastic body covers and it was just a piece of junk!

Im also using this case now and its great! I got it from ebay hongkong seller for $14USD only with free shipping, no tax nor duties! Took around 15 business days to arrive here in Canada, case serves good protection, its good for right or left handed users and 360' stand option is really nice.

So overall its a nice case for its good price and its great quality.

I've this one in brown and I like it.
It feels a bit cheap at first (I expected it at this price) and I'm still unsure about how long it will last, but I'm using it since about a month and no problems so far.

I'm mostly using it for watching videos in landscape-format and only in rare occasions for portrait, but if I'm holding it in the hand I can turn the folding part of the case, this way it hangs down and doesn't bother me.
My girlfriend is folding it, so it's really thick to grab and does feel more like a book than a thin tablet.

The display-cover-part is rather thick (because of the creasing for the stand) and the rest feels a bit elastic, so I think its a good protection for my tab.
On the other hand: It makes the tab around 2 times thicker and doesn't feel good any more in the pocket of my jacket.

In conclusion: I like it, and I did same some money in comparison to the most thin-cases.
But I'm still not sure if I shouldn't try something thinner too.

i have something similar and the zenus casing. Personally i perfer the zenus. The other casing is thicker and the rotation is too loose.

put a back protector on your tab before using this rotating sleeve/case

I have one and the plastic rotating link is eating its way at the back pannel

I do not have any problems with this. Neither on the edges where the main connection is, nor on the back where the rotating part is.
