The Review

[Youtube link for mobile viewing]

I love this case so much that it's the first one I recommend to those getting a PlayBook. For a soft case, it's deceptively resilient. With the generous amount of padding, your device is safe from accidental bumps and drops. The soft material feels great in your hands and the interior actually acts a cleaning cloth for your PlayBook screen.

Velcro closure — With the secure velcro closure, you know your PlayBook isn't going to slide out and get damaged.

Size — The sleeve itself measures 150x213x27 mm/5.9x8.4x1.1 inches and is light enough to take anywhere.

Inside — The soft interior acts a cleaning cloth to help keep those pesky fingerprints at bay.

Exterior — Decorative stitching and synthetic leather add a nice touch to the outward appearance, making this case one you'll be proud to use.
