Advantages: Cheap, key board works, protects tablet

Disadvantages: Scatrched my tablet

I recently purchased a tablet computer for my girlfriend for her birthday, I was feeling generous. I purchased a 7" one from maplin. I went home and decided to buy her a case with a keyboard because I was advised that this would be a good thing to do. Amazon was the cheapest place for these! The sensitivity on the tablet was low so it would take ages to type anything with your fingers. I will now go into more detail on this product and explain why you should be careful before buying these. It's not my favourite thing I have ever bought.

Price:

This cost my £8.99 which is a fantastic price, it was advertised as leather, but I new is would be faux leather. iPad cases with keyboards are far more expensive! It was also sent via amazon prime so I got free next day delivery. Overall this is a bargain case, but the quality isn't very High.

What's it like:

It is very think and a nice black colour. It has white stiching around the outside it has a grip which closes magnetically to keep the case closed and too stop it from opening. On my first look I thought it was very nice. Within the case you receive a stylis which you can use on the tablet. The USB connector is tucked inside, the problem I found with it was that it had no where to store the USB cable, if it's not plugged into your tablet it just hangs and gets in the way and causes scratches. This fits onto your tablet by clipping onto the edge of it with three clips, these are rather tight and these caused scratches the first time I put it on! I think it needs to be applied better as it frustrated me seeing my new tablet damaged! The keyboard works very well, it is easy to use and feels nice too touch, it has all of the functions that you may expect from a keyboard. It has lights to show when caps lock is on etc.

Overall:

This is very cheaply made and can cause damage to your tablet. I would use with caution and be very careful when you put it on your tablet. It works well when on and it hasnt let us down. It protected it very well too as its very solid and sturdy. It's s great price and worth getting even as a back up. I'm pleased with this. If it was more expensive then I would a avoid it. Give it a go!

Thanks for reading my review, hope it helped you

This gets 3 stars from me as the quality is low, but as a case it works. Just be careful when putting it on. If it had softer grips it would get 4 stars from me.

Summary: A good product but poorly made, worth a try for the price
