Review on πŸ“± Poetic Slimfolio Series Google Pixel Slate 12.3 Inch Case – Premium Slim Synthetic Leather Flip Stand Cover with Stylus Loop, Auto Sleep/Wake, Magnetic Closure - Black by Shane Solorzano

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Several design improvements are needed.

Ease of use is an improvement over my previous case I bought from Google because my old case was bulky and complicated. However, I was more confident about the security features of my last folio. At the same time, Poetic Slimflio is sufficiently padded to avoid damage. There are several design options that make the case uncomfortable to use. The pen loop is on the same end as the power button, so I have to move the pen around when I need to access the switch. If the loop was sewn from the other end, nothing would interfere with it. The automatic wake/sleep function is also not that reliable. I have to check the work after each time. So I just turn it off manually and rely on the auto-wake feature. The auto-wake feature only works when the tablet is used on one side, but the "print" mode orientation requires the power button to be pressed, so I have to choose which feature to turn off when I enter view mode use with lower profile. I either put the tablet back in the case and lose the auto-wake feature, or I lose easy access to the power button when it's in.

Pros
  • Good
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
