Question Help Me Pick A Case

I'm going to return my Transleeve. It's just not as cool or useful in practice as it seemed in theory.

Can you help me decide on a replacement?

My main goal is to be able to protect and prop up the Prime when I'm at work or traveling, and to be able to take it out of the case easily when I home. At home I just hold it in bed, or on the comfy chair, without the case.

I think the better choices for me given my preference is a case that holds the tablet with clips, rather than have leather or fake-leather covering the bezel. That just makes it thicker, right?

So I think my best choices are the:

1. Moko slim-fit - $12.98
amazon -dot- com/gp/product/B0063Q3G3I/

or the

2. Vipertek premium slim - $7.98
amazon -dot- com/gp/product/B006OZTNIK/

Is this right?

If anyone has experience with either, please reply. Do the clips hold on tight enough?

Any other advice or choices? What about "Premium quality PU leather" (Moko) vs. "100% Premium Litchi Grain Mark Leather" (Vipertek)?

Thanks.

Thanks, Dr. J for posting the links. I'm working on getting my posts up.

I ended up ordering tonight the Poetic version, since it was in stock, and the TF-101 version had good reviews. Free shipping from the seller was nice too.

And, just as I clicked confirm on the case purchase, my Prime buzzed to tell me that my Ice Cream Sandwich order had arrived - 8 minutes early.

I am having problems picking a case. I ordered some 19.99 Moko case from here http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...00_i00_details
Then cancelled it and found some purple one for 12.99 from same company but I didn't like they way the stand was in the back and someone said it didn't stand very well. So now I don't know what to get but a few people I have heard have either gotten Verteek or Poetic.
http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Transform...6255672&sr=1-3

My tablet will be here tomorrow so I am going to order one here soon just not sure what. I don't know what is better the ones where the tablet clips on or where it slides in and doesn't clip on. I am so confused on what to get. I kind of like this one for 11.99 http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Dual-View...6216758&sr=1-1 And come Feb they will make that one in purple but I can't wait that long.

I ordered the Poetic "StandBook Stand Leather Case with Angle Adjustable".

It's due early next week.

I think other posters may be right - these cases that look similar on Amazon are actually identical and come from the same Chinese manufacturer.
