Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
The case fits the BlackBerry PlayBook well. It gives protection to the tablet. The stand also works. There are cutouts for the jacks, buttons and camera as expected. So why the low rating? There is a serious flaw in its design. The case holds the Playbook by a cradle at the bottom edge of the Playbook, and two straps on each upper corner. The cradle at the bottom covers over half the area of the bottom frame (the area outside of the display screen). On other tablets this would not be an issue, but the PlayBook is different. The touch gesture to shrink the current app is swiping a finger from the bottom frame area towards the center of the screen. The cradle gets in the way. I can still do it but have to either be very careful, or do it several times to get it recognized by the tablet. Basically it makes the PlayBook much harder to use. I suspect that the designer of the case only based on a dimensional drawing of the PlayBook for the design, and never actually used the PlayBook to discover this flaw.

PROS:

- Good material
- Good workmanship
- Enough protection

CONS:

- Case gets in the way of basic operation (see above)
- Very bulky. The folded thickness with a PlayBook is over 1 inch.

Excellent case May 23, 2011
I have had this case for about two weeks. It holds the Playbook securely, protects it when carrying and has a built in easel. The bottom of the Playbook is held by a leather strip that runs the width of the tablet. There are cutouts for the hdmi, USB and magnetic charger connection. The top is held by a leather strip that goes over each of the 2 corners. There is a cutout on the back of the case so the camera lens is exposed for taking pictures or movies. The opposite flap of the case folds over the tablet to protect it when carrying. There is an elastic band that can wrap around the tablet and the back when carrying to keep the top closed. The top acts as an easel with stops for 3 different angles. The bezel is exposed around the Playbook so that all gestures work easily. I have only taken the Playbook out of the case once to apply a screen protector. You can plug the USB charger in when the case is open or the top is folded back. The leather stitching is well done. The case provides a professional look and does not add much bulk to the Playbook.

Fits like a glove. July 15, 2011
Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
Disclaimer: I received this product as part of the Amazon Vine Program.

The material quality is excellent. It fits perfectly on the BB Playbook. I had recently ordered a different case just to be disappointed. The feel and look is great.

Highly recommend it.
