I had a portfolio type case on my Toshiba Thrive, but wanted something that would offer more protection in case it got dropped. I heard about these new silicone cases on Thrive Forms dot org. A member/moderator there, bobj, went in search of the perfect protective case for the Thrive. When he wasn't happy with what was out there he designed this silicone case himself and had it manufactured.
This is not one of those whimpy, paper thin silicone covers you may have seen. This case is substantial. The edges and corners are rounded and sit a good bit higher than the level of the glass screen. This gives me peace of mind that even if my tablet should fall face down, the screen would be shielded from impact.
The silicone in this case is naturally slip resistant, but for extra insurance while sitting on a counter top or desk, there are 4 silicone nubs, or "feet" on the bottom that really hug the surface to prevent the tablet from being accidently knocked off. Another plus to these nubs/feet is that if the tablet was ever dropped and landed on its back, the nubs would shield the back of the tablet from direct impact.
Another great feature: The edges of the case taper down to lay flat against the screen, and cover the area where the bezel meets glass. This keeps dirt and dust from collecting in the little space there...a BIG plus!
High quality materials and attention to detail are evident in this beautiful case. I liked all the colors so much I couldn't decide, so I bought 2!
