This is hands down the best case I've ever owned for any device...ever! It took about nine business days to receive, but I really customized my order.

I seem to be the only posting here I just got it here. Stupid fedex just dropped it off, out side door in direct sunlight. I got a notification it arrived on shiprack it was 30 minutes later. I was really surprised on the look and feel. I imagined a suede type feeling when running your fingers across the book case. And the look of the case is unreal, but there is no contrast between the binder and edges like in the website compare yourself if you have time. I'm going to email them and see if this was a mistake or something.

Here is the Portenze closed without the strap, I think it just needs to be broken in to shut correctly as it's still stiff.

when opened, I'm way out of order here.

Yes, I could have done with out some of the options to bring down the price. Yes it was worth the wait, I really wanted the alano Tesoro, but it would not be available till mid October. I couldn't wait to order then. I was trying to order a alano case for my wife's new ipad, but she likes the apple case.

Yeah that is pretty looking. I just couldn't justify the price of the alano style. I have an 8 gig and with the options and shipping I wanted, the price was almost as much as my tablet. Had to settle for the normal hard case. Still waiting for it to come in...

ordered my bookcase on 9/9 and received it today. all in all i'd say it's a very well made case. great protection for the tablet, which is what i was looking for, and in a sleek design. the wood is perfectly smooth even though it looks etched somewhat. you won't be disappointed by ordering this case.

I ordered my classic bookcase last Sunday (9/23) and it arrived just six days later, this past Saturday. I couldn't believe it. I love it, my only slight issue is that when closed, the spine seems to be at a bit of an angle, and the cover doesn't go over as far as the back cover does...it's hard to explain. It may get better with more use, but it's not a big deal at all. Like I said, it's awesome. Highly recommended.

I just ordered my book case. I can't wait for it. I just found my Nexus 7 in my 2 year old son's toy box with a huge scuff on the screen. The stock asus case is just not protection enough for me, nor my son.

Nothing will protect it from a 2 year old. Lol
