Not Garbage... It's GREAT
The color may not be exactly like the picture- I got orange and it is less "construction cone orange" (which would have been really cool) than the picture; it's less color intense... almost "neon pastel" if that makes any sense. Suppose I might take away half a star for that but honestly color was far less important to me than function.But other than the color it is exactly what it says it is. Easy to install. Just pay attention to the instructions. The hardest part will be getting them out! But it's pretty intuitive, just pull back the rubber, gently, an you'll be able to slide them out. The whole process took me maybe 5 minutes.Purchased the tablet exclusively to run a XR-18 Mixer App. Ditched the strap just because I didn't want it but if you do just unclip the short strap that comes on it and replace it with the long one in the bag. Don't cut it off at the corners like I did if you actually want a strap on it! The kick stand was tough to pull out the first time but after that no problem. I probably pull it in and out 20 times over the course of a one hour event and it takes about zero effort with one finger to pop it out and a thumb to slide it down until it clicks into place. A toddler could probably do it so I'm not sure what the guy with the 1 star review's problem is. Do I need to post a "how to" video? That said the stand probably is the weak link since it is a plastic moving part- so time will tell how it holds up.And unlike what that other clown stated the hand strap is great and can adjust to even larger than I need (average guy). Your whole hand isn't suppose to go all the way thru it (it's not a wrist watch! -lol) just four fingers with the tablet sort of resting on your palm like ALL the photos in the seller's ad show. Oh ya, you do need to have mastered the art of adjusting Velcro.Love these type type holders so much as it is so awesome to be able to have your hand is the strap behind the tablet at a comfortable angle and then be able to carry the thing around with no fear of bumping the screen. It is ergonomically fairly comfortable with very little wrist or finger strain. Also love the rugged appearance that I hope translates into the tablet not getting damaged as it is passed around from volunteer to volunteer week to week. Got the bright color so that it would be very difficult to mislay.It came with a second plastic bezel piece! In all likelihood that would be the part to get damaged from a drop. Worth every penny if it holds up for any significant length of time. If the whole thing needs to be replaced in a year of so it will still have been well worth it. Definitely an essential item for a tablet that has to go out there and face the real world. Screen cover is just plastic and does not "stick" onto device screen; but that doesn't seem to cause any problems with tapping or scrolling. I am toying with idea of seeing how replacing the clear plastic with a typical stick on tempered glass screen protector would work. Just easier to keep clean and scratch free. It would be a huge plus if the manufacturer just make it that way but it is what it is.I encourage other buyers to post pics so we can all compare the colors shown on Amazon to what they actually received. For me the slight variation is not significant enough to get upset about.If any quality issues arise prematurely I'll update my rating and review.If this review was helpful let me know by clicking the helpful button.Cheers!PS... after 6+ months of regular use it has held up great. The only downside is that it offers zero help against glare in the out of doors. Eventually I'll look to replace this with one just like it but with an anti-glare screen protector... before next summer rolls around for sure. But no real regrets as I knew up front that it had a plastic protector that would not fight glare and be more prone to scratching than glass.

The entire thing is garbage
So many reasons why this is a piece of chinese garbage.The color doesn't match. The pictures in the description have clearly been tampered with. Instead of getting a deep, rich color, you get a washed out pastel color. It looks horrible and it feels even worse in your hands.The hand strap on the back is unusable. I have average size hands for a man and even with the strap loosened all the way out I can't get my hand through it. Completely useless.The kickstand is unusable. You have to pry on it with a screwdriver or knife just to get it to open. It can't be opened with your fingers alone. So have fun carrying around a screwdriver just to open it. Eventually it will break because it's so poorly made.The screen "protector" is another pile of hot garbage. It doesn't actually apply itself to the screen the way a real screen protector does, it just sits above it. It feels horrible to use. The outside of it is not smooth at all, very "sticky" to use and not at all usable. Since the inside of it isn't actually attached to the tablet, eventually dirt, water, ect will get in between the tablet and the "protector" and it will ruin the tablet.This entire thing is a steaming pile of chinese garbage. STAY AWAY or you will regret it.

Great Protective Case
So, this just arrived and I will reserve the extra star for future update. That being said, it seems very sturdy and the screen protector included with it is very clear. The color is nice and the 360 degree swivel kick stand and hand strap and shoulder strap are nice extras. The hand strap makes it much easier to hold while typing or maneuvering apps. The shoulder strap can be used to hang your tablet on the back of a seat (using the headrest to hang the strap around) so your kids (or you) can watch movies while traveling. The only drawback is the instructions on how to use/put this together are on the back of the cardboard insert under the built in screen saver on the plastic pieces you have to remove to insert your tablet. I was worried I would do something wrong so I checked online and found the video on the Amazon website for this protective case. My grandson loves the added security this case gives him so I think this was/is a very good purchase.

Good looking case that works for me.
This is a decent case. It was easy to insert the tablet. I carry my tablet around the house and most often hold onto the folding stand. The Velcro style hand strap is easily adjustable. I plan on using the tablet for camping and traveling. The case is not waterproof but seems durable. The clear plastic screen cover does not show fingerprints like othe cases I have seen.May 12, 2021: Update after a few months of use. The clip molded into the back cover that holds the built-in stand in the extended position has snapped off. The stand will no longer stay out so it now falls over. This is rather disappointing and I am forced to use a separate stand.

Excellent Product
Although I had a little trouble getting the case on my tablet, I think it was well worth it. Fits very secure on the tablet and the reinforced soft corners will hopefully protect the tablet when I invariably drop it on a concreate floor somewhere. When I ordered the case I didn't realize that it included a screen protector. Nice bonus!!!!! Not that it matters, but I have received several positive comments about the case.Update: That drop onto concrete happened last week and there was NO damage to the device at all. I am a very happy camper! On the other hand, the clip that locks the stand in place broke the other day so the stand is unusable. I guess I pushed to hard and it snapped. Oh well, the stand was not a major reason for my buying the case so nothing lost I guess but it could have been engineered a little more robust I think.

Good, robust case.
Lovely looking case and pleasing to the eye I purchased this for my son with Autism to help protect his tablet from the consequences of a meltdown. So far its proven sturdy, the silicone is very thick and the case has proven to be strong and robust, and survived the rage of a meltdown.Will definitely be purchasing again for any future tablets.

Worth it
A mix of plastic and rubber casing helps if you tend to knock or drop things , I love the feature of the handle for holding on to on the back and that this can be turned round to suit you.
