I picked up this case as soon as I could from Amazon, since availability is currently limited in retail stores. I've had it on my Touchpad for few days now, and I've been extremely impressed with it. The case fits extremely snugly onto the tablet, and will eliminate all fears of fingerprints on the shiny back of the Touchpad. The case can also be folded back to form a stand to use the Touchpad in landscape mode. It really holds the tablet at a nice angle, and makes typing on it quite easy. I should note that when you fold the case, it uses velcro to form the stand, it does not fold up completely on itself. It is very solid when in this "stand" configuration. The case also does not obstruct usage of any of the buttons on the tablet.
If you have a touchstone for the Touchpad, it will charge through this case. If you fold the case back and put it on the touchstone in landscape mode, there is enough room on the touchstone for the tablet to remain on it, and charge.
The case has a really nice, matte feel to it, and seems very durable. It is also very thin, and does not add much weight at all to the Touchpad. Definitely recommended.

I have been using and developing for WebOS since the tail end of the Palm days, so I am incredibly biased in favor of the TouchPad. I absolutely love this tablet, and the Touchstone charging station is as life-changing a switch from the iPad's dock as the original Touchstone was when I tossed my iPhone in favor of a Palm Pre.
This case, on the other hand, is hand's down the weakest link in the launch-day accessories for the TouchPad. The only reason to get this case is if you are worried about scratching up the back of your TouchPad, or you tend to set the TouchPad down on surfaces that are slick enough to cause it to slide. Otherwise, the case adds a bit more bulk to the device without any significant benefits.
The whole case is constructed out of what feels like a hard rubber, with the inside lined with a soft (but not fuzzy) fabric. Aesthetically, it looks alright. The matte black with barely-distinguishable HP logo is certainly nice. I also like that the power and volume buttons do not have cut-outs, but instead have flexible extrusions in the rubber itself.
I was surprised to find that to fit the TouchPad into the case you have to physically snap it in, but since the rubber sides have a bit of give this isn't too hard. Getting it out would be a challenge, but the case supposedly allows charging on the Touchstone dock without removing it, so that theoretically isn't an issue.
In practice, however, I could not get the Touchstone to charge my TouchPad with the case on. There are some cryptic drawings on a pamphlet included with the case that seem to indicate you can only charge the TouchPad if the flap on the case is downward (and thus lying all over the table), but I was unable to get it to charge in any orientation.
And speaking of the flap, that is the absolute worst part of this case. Because it was hinged like the iPad 2's awesome Smart Cover, I was expecting it to be similarly anchored with magnets or something. This is not the case. The flap has a single strip of velcro that you can use to prop it at a couple of angles (the back also has a velcro flap), but it does not anchor to the front of the device at all. Which means that if you hold the TouchPad in any position except horizontal, the flap falls open.
For myself, the case is thus rendered useless. With the Touchstone charging fiddly or non-operational, the cheap approach of velcro for propping the thing up, and the lack of any sort of fastening for the front flap, I may as well spare myself the extra bulk and annoyance of a flap that flaps around when I move it and use the device without a case. My recommendation would be to go buy a TwelveSouth Compass stand (or one of the similar competitors) for propping your device upright, and forego a case until third parties release something more useful.

I am the proud owner of an iPad, iPad2, and this TouchPad. My father dropped the iPad (glass screen!) and so I needed a replacement (my wife does not share her iPad2). Honestly for as much fanfare as the SmartCover gets, I prefer a standard folio.
This case is custom fit for the Touchpad (obviously) and is of comparable quality to the iPad 1 case.
Pros:
- The folio is designed to work with the Touchstone dock (inductive charging base and you do not have to remove the case to inductively charge
- The top cover has two grooves, allowing the case cover to fold into a triangular configuration, transforming the folio into a stand for landscape use
- Cut outs are precisely mapped for you power/data cable, headphone jack, and other buttons
Cons:
-Not worth MSRP of $49.99, but you can get a better deal on Amazon for sure
-No magnetic on/off which the Smart Covers for the iPad 2 has. There is no Touchstone case that has this capability (as the Touchstone does not)
-No color/material options

Don't waste your time with other cases. People want to tell you that an iPad 1 case will fit. While it does kind of fit, there's no comparison to the HP Touchpad Custom Fit Case. Read more
