The stand is just sufficient. It opens by itself and is not adjustable. The same goes for the case itself. Yes, the plastic eventually fits the tablet and the rubber pad fits over it. I think that's enough. Think of a fake OtterBox bought at a flea market. Could this case have taken a serious hit? Not at all. Will it survive an accidental fall or two? Yes, I think it will, but I think the tablet may be damaged in the process. Would I buy it again? Yes, for a budget tablet. If I had a premium tablet; no way.
