Default Bookcase cover (Ipad-style)

Yesterday i got my $11 bookcase cover for my beloved 7.7, it fits the tab nicely and it has a "built in" stand so that you can use the tablet as for example a mediaplayer. Only downside, that I can see now with this type of stand, is that you need to have the tablet wrong way around (connector to the left, instead of right) when you want to use it as a type-stand, but thats not a big deal for me atleast.

The inside of the lid and backside are dressed in thin felt to not scratch the tab.

the plastic seems alittle thinner than on similar cases and that way you have a smaller risk getting the flash to reflect in the plastic when taking pictures.

It was quite cheap compared to the OEM bookcase covers that are out there, as I didnt "buy it now", the delivery was 5 workingdays from Hong Kong to Sweden.
I dont think i have ever gotten something from Hong Kong to Sweden that fast

So how do you like it? Would you reccomend it? How is the stand, does it feel like it will break or something?

I've been looking for something like this and I really like the look of this.. and the OEM ones are soooo expensive, as you say..

I am happy with it, and the stand seems sturdy enough.

And I would recomend it, remember to check out the rest of the colours also :)

I purchased one of these and thought it was pretty good value. It looks nice on the tab (I had an orange one) and I didn't have any of the fit problems that others reported in the other thread. The stand worked great for my needs and the material it's made out of has a really nice feel to it too.

I did have a couple of minor gripes though.

1) There's nothing to keep the cover closed. Not a big deal if you just want the screen protected while it's in a bag or whatever.

2) The panel forms the bottom most part of the stand was always picking up dirt from whatever I set it down on and then carrying it back on to the screen when I closed it. I started to notice tiny abrasions on my screen protector from it.

I've since switched to a different case but still think this one was pretty good for the money.
