Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and CriticismI purchased this case/keyboard combo because (at least at the time) I could not find a case built specifically for my Toshiba Thrive with a Bluetooth keypad built in. I like this case for the most part, but whether or not you do may depend on whether you prefer to use your tablet in landscape or portrait mode. Your faith in velcro may also play a role.If you're looking to use your tablet as a pseudo-netbook, this case may be right up your alley. The keyboard is comfortable and thin and has an auto-off feature if you forget to flip the power switch off when you're done with it. Since it's Bluetooth it also leaves your USB slot open for other things. The case folds easily and intuitively to prop your tablet up with a nice laptop-like viewing angle as you type. If you prefer to use your tablet more often in portrait-mode, you may want to look elsewhere. For starters, the case is bulky. With the Thrive it measures 1.75" thick when closed. That's not necessarily a deal breaker but it brings the tablet a lot closer size-wise to a small laptop and it doesn't feel quite as portable as it does case-less. Further, holding the case in one arm with the cover open is uncomfortable. My naked tablet has dimensions around 7"x10" but an open case is a whopping 17"x10". That's an extra 100 square inches of material in the form of case & keyboard resting on my arm. It may not sound like that big of a deal, but even with my long arms and it felt unwieldy when holding it this way.It is a well constructed case with a handsome cover with a couple nice extras (a loop inside the case for a stylus; an elastic strap outside it to bundle papers), but because it's a one-size-fits most solution, it can't quite be everything to everyone. The Thrive for instance is on the bulkier side of tablets and thus stretches the corner mounting pieces. As a result it doesn't look or feel flush. Thinner tablets may fare better here. The larger set of mounting pieces (about 2.5" square) also obstruct the volume-up button and the headphone jack on my Thrive. There are smaller mounting pieces (about 1.5" square), but they don't have the same surface area of velcro underneath them. The velcro is strong stuff and I doubt it will fail, but I have a peace of mind issue using little tiny rubber corners to keep my expensive toy mounted in place. I have also had minor issues with the keyboard popping out of it's holder for some reason. It snaps firmly into place but after opening and closing the case a few times it starts to fall out. Ultimately I found this to be a good situational case. If I know I'm going to be going on a trip where I'll be doing a lot of typing it fits the bill nicely. For every day use though it's just too bulky when closed and too unwieldy when open, so I'm searching out a thinner, Thrive-specific case that doesn't rely on velcro to hold it in place.
