Worth every dollar!

UPDATE: After 2 weeks I'm totally in love with this bag! I like the looks. So far the clips have held up well - they open and close on my desk every day. The leather also withstood being slipped in and out of my pocket. There was a question about using a case with a keyboard attached and if the keyboard could fold back. I can confirm that. Let the tablet be a little thicker and the weight will be added - but it's possible. I uploaded this picture. So having bought two other cases from Revain which claimed to be good "faux leather" and had good customer reviews, I was apprehensive about purchasing this case, especially as it was being shipped from overseas. I bought a dark case and I really like it. That's why. 1) It's real leather! 2) It smells like leather, feels like leather! 3) It's very compact - precise cut can still fold with the keyboard, although 99% of the time I didn't plug in a keyboard 4) Looks very stylish when holding it in business meetings or other places 5) Initially liked I didn't see the pen loop where it was. I thought it would interfere with some of the fans on the SP6 but I think that's ok. The handle sits snugly in the ring and magnetizes to your body when not in use so it doesn't rattle or bang. A plus for me. 6) I wasn't sure if I need a flap that keeps the case closed (magnetic flap), looks a bit weird when not in use, but when the case is folded to protect the tablet, the flap protects the camera without the ruin the look. minuses. 1) I'm a little worried about the clips that attach to the stand - although it seems to hold up, I use the stand every day at work. I think if the clip was made out of a stronger material this might improve the situation but it is 100% better than any rubber band holding the footboard and ultimately preventing the back from closing. These clips make the case 99% close - I give it 99% because it's not perfect. 2) The back of the valve (the part that touches the screen) is soft/flat - I'm concerned about durability. One thing I don't care about is the sharp edge where the leather meets the felt lining. The edges are a little rough and you can feel it when holding the tablet with the lid turned upside down. It would be nice if the leather wrapped more around the lid and created a nice leather border on the case. 3) The SP6 snaps in well on top and seems to be holding up fairly well - however the laser cut dimensions don't seem ideal. One corner fits a little better than the other. If you are looking for a stylish, durable genuine leather bag, this bag is for you. If you want to save money, go for faux leather models, but you won't be so lucky!
