[G Tablet Accessories] Cocide:
My take on the CLIP

I absolutely love this case. At first I was not sure if it would be worth the price, I really felt like it should be leather for the price, not synthetic (PU). The PU is very nice, just like that on the MI, it is made very well, and the case itself is very pretty.

The front cover is even attached a bit differently, they tucked the flap from the 'hinge' under the front cover so that the front is its own piece. I'm not sure if that is because of material size limitations or just for aesthetics, but in my opinion it makes the front look nicer than if it was a single strip of PU wrapping both the front and back.

The corners on the case grab the tablet very well, they probably would protect it if you dropped it, hopefully I won't have to test that (although if it happens I will post about it).

The inside of the case is covered in some fabric, its actually quite nice although it might hold on to dirt. It has some ridges on it for the tablet to sit, but they don't stand out in a bad way.

The one thing I do not like about the case is that when it is closed the side clips push the front cover up a bit. The only ways I could think to work around that would be either to cut notches out of the front cover or to make the side clips grab the tablet less. Cutting notches in the cover probably wouldn't look good, and even thought the case holds on to the tablet extremely well I still wouldn't like to see the clips grab it any less. Hopefully these pics show what I'm talking about, the first one shows how the tab is under the cover, the second shows a slight arch on the front cover.

Just as the first post says, this case holds on to the tablet VERY well. When I tried to pull my tablet out of the case it actually turned into a bit of a struggle, but that might also be because I have a carbon fiber skin on the back of it, so it might have added friction. The clips on the bottom corners snap on when you close the case and snap off auto-magically when you set it up as a stand, they were designed perfectly. You can actually make 5 angles with this case too

I do wish that the stitching was white and that they added the stitching across the fold line just because that looks so excellent on the M1, but I will take what I can get. I should also add that I ordered them on Thursday, got a tracking number in a few hours, and they arrived the next Monday (probably would have been in on Sunday if USPS delivered on Sundays).

This case will be my new daily driver, at least until I get a BlutO that is. It is extremely versatile, well designed, and well made. At first I was worried about the clip that holds it closed, I thought it might be better to make the top corner clips a bit larger and put a magnet in them so it was like the M1 and had no flap (or in this case a clip). Now that I have held and played with it I can see that I was wrong, the clip on the front cover is not in the way at all, it rather small, and it holds it closed far better than magnets would have done. Yes it is a bit expensive for a case and its not real leather, but if I were to do it all over I would still buy this case.

All in all, I give it a 5/5 and highly recommended this case to anyone who is thinking about getting one.
