[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] brecklundin:
I really like mine too. While I had run across it already it was "Was" and this thread which convinced me to grab one. I'm really happy with the case....

I think the Poetic Revolution is an outstanding case at a fair price. Compared the prices on Gumdrop cases the Revolution has a foothold in reality. $29.95 is not too low nor is it too high. I doubt I would have considered it at, say, $39.95 so I hope they don't raise the price after a bunch of positive reviews. Plus I read Otterbox was not planning on a Note 8.0 case.

What I don't care for...

1.) The silicone outer layer is very slippery for my hands. it always feels as if it's sliding out of my hand. If you ever slept in silk, or even satin, sheets You will know the sensation of feeling as if you are always sliding out of bed. For this reason unless you have very large hands you will likely be using the kickstand as a handstrap when trying to hold this case in one hand.. This may well be my skin more than the case material as my hands tend to be dry and lacking enough moisture to grip certain materials so don't take this as bad enough to not consider this case.

2.) The included screen protector. It's as others have indicated, pretty much invisible when the screen is on. I see no decrease in screen clarity or brightness from this protector either. I think it is a great idea. My problem is it is pretty "grabby" when using the stylus. There are also frequent skips as I write across it's surface. Over all the built-in screen protector is needed to enhance the total package, the problem is it feels like the pen is moving across fly-paper. Perhaps I've gotten to used to how battery smooth the nekkid screen is for pen use?? The feel to me is it might be wearing on the stylus tip though I seriously doubt that is what's happening. Update: Screen protector shows some rainbow effects. I suspect it may be oil deposits? The SP also is very reflective, even compared to the nekkid panel. So for me it impares sharing what I'm viewing with others then again it's almost a security feature,. almost. The reflective nature oftle SP does adversely affect using my N8 outdoors.

Edit: Need to correct part of this observation about the screen protector feeling sort of "sticky". when I put this care on this afternoon I also happened to clean the SP but gave it no further thought. Just a few mins ago I noticed something, the stylus feels just like I'm writing on the NEKKID screen. In other words smooth as silk!! So add another star... loving this case more every minute.

3.) Oh, yeah I remember...I think a very common mis-judgement of this case will be over estimating how "rugged" it is.. This is NOT a true ruggedized case. It is, however, a very good robust protective case. Don't expect it to offer more than above average shock protection and really no significant screen protection from cracks. It will do OK vs. spills, environmental dust and offers decent protection from gritty abrasive dirt & sand. Just don't go tossing it around on the beach or campsite. The case is just not built to provide that degree of protection as there are no seals to really keep dust, dirt or water out. It will offer good protection as long as you keep aware of the conditions. Update: The other day while walking to another building at work I dropped my N8. The drop was about 4.5 ft. onto concrete. My N8 survived perfectly.

In general this case offers what I was after in the way of protection when I need to skulk around the dingy dark recesses of this place while working on our network or even tracking down the odd plumbing problem. Just remember it's NOT a true ruggedized case.

I definitely recommend it as part of a multi-case setup.
