Huawei Flip Cover

[gorman42]

While waiting for the keyboard cover (I got it "free" for buying the tablet at launch) I ordered this and received it today.

A little on the heavy side (I think around 250gr), protects the tablet and screen. Sturdy fold system for having the tablet stand up horizontally (for movie watching, I guess), no way that I can understand to have the tablet slightly raised for typing on touchscreen when not using the "real" keyboard. Screen cover turns on the device but with fingerprint id unlocking is kind of useless quite frankly. There's a magnet to ensure the cover stays closed.

Look is understated, with a "bas relief" Huawei logo in the bottom right corner. You can see pictures here:

How slim would you say this is? I currently have an aging Sony Z3 Compact tablet and have ordered the M5 as replacement.
When I first purchased the Z3C tablet I found all the 3rd party covers to be a bit on the bulky side. But when I finally got hold of the original Sony SCR28 cover - it was considerably slimmer than the 3rd party ones.
So, I am wondering if I should just get a cheap 3rd party cover from Amazon or hold out for the official Huawei one....

What do you think about this flip cover? http://s.aliexpress.com/UJ3YbIzE?fromSns
I think it's well done because it leaves the pogo pins uncovered so if you have to connect the tablet to the keyboard you do not have to detach it from the flip cover

gorman42,
Are you using flipcover with a stock room?

I found turnoff/turn on feature does not work with custom rom and interested to know other people experience.
I installed carbon rom.

Also do you have any reaction when you flip cover from front to back ?
I found magnet sensor reacts on that and triggers false positive
