I just got my official Acer case and here are some initial thoughts:
- It definitely has a strong smell. I'm sure it will disappear with a few days use but the smell out of the box is pretty jarring.
- Feels cheap. The case itself feels a lot cheaper than the equivalent apple case. Considering they are both the same price I was expecting at least a somewhat comparable product.
- The flap stays closed using Velcro. A magnet would have been a lot more elegant and wouldn't have cut too much into their high-profit margin.
-The front flap is especially wobbly. In stand mode, it feels like even a little too much pressure with tip it over. Also, the angle the stand sits the tab at is not conducive to touch typing. It's really only for viewing multimedia it seems.
- All of the ports, cameras, and speakers are accessible. This is about the only positive I can think of.
Conclusion: This case is definitely not worth the $40 asking price. I will probably keep it only because it's the only case available but you can rest assured I will be selling it once something of better quality comes along. Let's hope 3rd party manufactures step up to the plate. If this product is as successful as Acer says, then there should be more 3rd party accessories available soon.
