I posted about this the other day. Honestly, I love it. It does exactly what I need it to do. The only problems are software. Let's say I'm watching a full screen YouTube video with it in the typing layout, the screen will do a 180 causing me to turn the device around. That's all software.

If you guys want, I'll toss pictures up later to show you the solid build of the case. The only problem I can foresee is the front cover's magnets aren't that strong and the front cover might start to feel flimsy/lose it's shape after a while of using it to stand the device up.

I love it though and wouldn't trade it for anything. The velcro is extremely strong and holds the device in place. I wish the fit was a bit tighter, but it's still a good fit. It's also very thin in comparison to a lot of cases out there. I recommend this to a lot of people.

well that does say alot, if the fit is loose in the begining then it will only get looser with time, leather cases should be tight from the get go

I'm not saying it is incredibly loose. It's actually pretty tight. They just left a tiny bit of room on the sides so the case CAN move side to side, but only about .5 of an inch or so. I'll take pictures with my Droid X in a little bit. I promise you'd love this case if you got it.

Is there only one angle for this when in viewing position? I know some of the other cases have a total of 3 angles.

What ports are available when open/closed? Are you able to charge when closed? It's hard to tell from the pictures, but is there a screen cover over the screen? Or is it just naked when opened?

.5 of an inch is pretty big wiggle room. I was about to bite when I read this. Do you really mean half an inch of space on the sides? Anyone else have this case that can say?

Ugh.. I'm really shooting this product in the foot. Let me get out my ruler and my camera. It's not .5. I was just guessing.

I took pictures for you. There's only 2 viewing angles. The ports available when closed is just the 3.5 mm audio plug. With it open, all of them. You can change the volume when it's closed, too. There is absolutely no screen cover over the screen. Completely 100% naked.

When the pictures are uploaded, I'll link you to my Picasa album.

I'm going to edit this post shortly after I take some decent pictures. I promise you will love this product.

EDIT: Ok. They're uploading now. I DEFINITELY just guessed a number when I told you how loose it was. Wow. It's like less than 1/8th. You'll see in a second.

EDIT: Here is a link to my album that shows you all of the pictures I snapped:
