FYI if your looking to pick up a Yoobao case check out E Bay. There is a seller that ships from the US and sells for $32. I got mine in a couple days.

I do like how it locks in the pen. I didn't expect the edges to be the type of plastic they are. Very ridged. So when its close and you set it on a table the edges 'click' down before it rests on the leather. ... Not that its bad per say, just unexpected.

I see there's lots of suggestions already, but I must get these darn 10 posts.

I have owned the View 4G and the 360 rotation case/stand for almost 6 months now and I'm very pleased with it. I spend a lot of time outside for work and play, so I've put the hard plastic backing and stiff cover through some unintended tests.

I work on a ranch and constantly use the stand feature when I play music, which is almost all day long. I feel the design helps project the audio for a better listening experience.

I've dropped the device at least half a dozen times from 4-6 feet and the case is still holding together nicely. One corner is slightly mis-shaped now, but the device still stays locked in place. I also disc golf 3-4 times a week and toss the device in my soft bag of discs around the course without any worries.

When I was using my flyer I had, used and liked the 360° style case. Bought it on Ebay cheap as the seller was unloading a lot that had shipping damage. Guess they got damp during shipment as the case has a pseudo embossed imprint of the plastic 360° bit from the next case in the shipment. Doesn't effect working just appearance.

Since I moved to a View I've been using a very minimal case. Rather like the plastic part of the 360° case alone except it doesn't have the hole in the middle to rotate. Obviously doesn't provide any screen protection. I like how light weight and non intrusive it is. Protects corners and back nicely. Has a few nicks and gouges now and I can just imagine how the View would look without the case to take those impacts.

Thanks for the quick and dirty comparison. I went with the blurex case mainly because 1) Amazon prime ; 2) comfort (based on the photos); and 3) thinner (based on the photos). I wish there was one that fit with the Rocketfish case, it makes so nice to hold.

That's the case I was trying to describe although I didn't get mine from Rockfish. Small, lightweight, with decent protection other than the screen.

I just got this neoprene case. Says for Kindle Fire but fits my View nicely. Just $3.50 from Amazon.

I have the Yoobao case and it is great, particularly the clever storage spot for the pen. For me, the perfect case would be the Yoobao but with a folio stand mechanism built into it.

I've seen a few people mention the rotating/swivel type cases in this thread but has anyone tried this one? For only $10 the price seems great but makes me wonder about the quality:

Yep, completely agree. I got the Yoobao case with Yoobao screen protector. Both are super high quality and the screen protector easily applies with very very few bubbles. The leather on the Yoobao case is nice, and I am impressed on how it has all the cutouts and holds the Flyer snugly. The pen holder is just genius. Thanks to all who recommended this case, I purchased it from kevikevsstore on ebay. The seller's ebay store link is http://stores.ebay.com/kevikevsstore . I ordered it on Monday and received it on Wednesday with USPS First Class mail - CA to TX. Very impressed overall.

07-01-12 Okay, the only drawback (for me) about this case is that it's not a stand even though it has a cover flap that looks like you could fold it under and prop it up. That being said, I am still delighted with my purchase.
