Impressed.

I am very impressed. I really didn't think they were that great (in fact I ordered other types to be able to compare). Before ordering, I was concerned that the sliding lid would slip too easily when being moved and/or fall off at some point. Mind you, I literally ONLY installed this thing on my laptop (Dell XPS) so this is not a review based on the longevity of the product; Just my first impressions. Installation was easy. They give you little clear sticky strips so you have better control than your fingers on this TINY thing when attaching it (see photo). The lid is non-slip during normal movement of the device and requires little effort to move rather than simply touching (see demo video). I don't know if it will come off over time or if the glue isn't working, so I'm planning to improve it after a period of use. It also looks like there is a ledge on the edge of the glued piece that prevents the lid from falling off. Hooray! Unlike my old (jerky) note cover, this thing completely blocks outside light and gives a black screen when the camera is closed (see photo). My laptop's screen is almost completely flat, even when closed, so I needed something very thin to ensure the screen wouldn't be damaged when closed - as close to thickness-wise as possible (see photo). So far, I am very satisfied. Once I'm sure it will stand the test of time, I plan on applying the second one to my Samsung Galaxy s9 (I already know it will fit, even with my case on). Here's hoping!

Pros
  • computers and accessories
Cons
  • boring packaging
