Scosche SGT Case

[tullywork]

Guys,

Just wanted to share this experience with you. I purchased the Scosche case for my SGT and LOVED IT (initially). This tablet held the tablet securely (initially) and the ability to mount it at different angles was GREAT for me, considering I travel a lot and spend way too much time on airplanes.

Anyway...after having this case for 3 months (the amount of time I've had the tablet)...the case grips end up stretching out and loosing their grip on the unit.

I saw other similar reviews (that the case grips didn't hold up), but ignored them, now I wish I didn't...

First, the tablet ended up slipping out of the case in my laptop bag, and being unprotected, the screen ended up scratched against the end of a power cord...

Today my SGT fell out of my hands and while the case protected it when it hit the rug (initially) the SGT popped out of the case on impact and ended up on tile, cracking the screen. Being that I purchased the unit as a 'refurb' I don't have any coverage on the unit and am now out $250.

I would recommend anyone considering purchasing this case for it's form factor/convenience SERIOUSLY RECONSIDER.

Don't be like me and think "I'm sure that won't happen to me" and end up owning at $300+ paperweight.

The purpose of purchasing a case is 1) protection and 2) convenience...and you can't have #2 w/o #1...

DO NOT BUY SCOSCHE.

Using a Zenus color edge case since launch and my only complaint is that I am growing tired of the color that I picked. I did use a speck candy shell for a few months but I ended up breaking part of it so I went naked for a month and eventually ended up back in the zenus...fit is still as snug as ever.

Were you talking to me? I can post pics of the 3 month old/worn out case....actually I will soon, to prove this is a terrible quality item and hopefully no-one else buys it and the same happens to them.

I just ordered a replacement touchscreen from ebay, hopefully I can repair my 'baby'...the replacement screen was $25, which seems low to me, but we'll see???

For the Zenus case, looks very nice, what is the outer border made of? rubber? plastic? I purchased the HP OEM Touchpad case for my new touchpad and aside from not liking the viewing angles or not being able to secure the flap to the device, I really do like the outer material and rubber border around the TP, hopefully this is the same type of thing?

zenus is full leather. not sure what is inside the rigid elements but it is very sturdy and covered with high quality leather.

received my scosche foldio case today. looks real nice, fits good, but i doubt it will have enough grip in a few months to hold it in the different angles.

but for now it is okay. hope i will never drop my tab as i have no warranty for it.

Mine is about 6 months old and still grips like day 1. Maybe give them a call?
