Toshiba Thrive Portfolio Case for 10 - Inch Tablet (PA3945U-1EAB),Black

The case itself is actually excellent quality and functionally it works fantastic. Being that the Thrive itself is already a bit bulky for a tablet, this case doesn't do much to ease that issue. I understand I'm adding layers to the bulk by simply adding any additional thickness to the device, and I understand that it's thicker as a means of protection, but this case essentially doubles the size of the Thrive.Mind you, that's a sacrifice for security, because the case is sturdy and I feel safe with it being around my Thrive. However, they could have taken the slimness level down at least one notch by not making an additional extra back layer simply for the fold-out "stand" portion of the case. When you buy one for your Thrive - WHICH you SHOULD ABSOLUTELY DO - you'll understand though.All that aside, the case is very well made, and easily accessible. The Velcro placements are all very sensible and it holds well....Everything considered, this is ESSENTIAL for Thrive owners, I would say....P.S. - In response to the bad review I saw about the guy's Thrive overheating while charging inside the case and blowing out 2 batteries: That's apparently just you, dude. I read your review prior to buying this, and I took the risk of charging it in the case, and have done so every day for 2 weeks now and it's not even a pinch hotter than usual. You had a bad device or bad batteries.

I received both my Toshiba Thrive Tablet and this case on July 12th (yesterday). Its the perfect case for the Thrive, just as my Kindle Case performs flawlessly.The case is faux Stiff Leather without that chemical smell. It does tend to get sticky, easily washable. The inside consists of velcro fasteners and felt-like backing for the Velcro. The tab easily slips in and out. I haven't even begun to arrange all the positions the case can move into, but it does live up to the hype. AND - its cheaper here, who doesn't want a deal after spending all those bucks on the Toshiba Thrive itself?I keep the Tab mainly in the case (only take out for some gaming). I got into this habit from keeping the Kindle in its case. You can charge and use ear plugs with the case on. You can slide the port covering piece off, and your mini-usb is ready to plug in and do some file transferring (Vista and Win 7 only, XP needs an upgrade, Macs and Linux need tweaking).There is a video on You Tube demonstrating Open Port Hatch with the case on. Most folks typically slide from the top down (Power Button on top). Even the docking port is available at the bottom, though I don't see docking with the case on. The straps and Case Holder are also faux Leather, and a strap with Velcro backing securely holds your Tab in place. Holes are sliced for both front/back Camera lens access.I've read that not so many were pleased with the 360 choice. This case suits my needs just fine, as I'm sure yours will be met.Side Note: may be returning the screen protectors - just don't feel the need for them at the moment. Feels more like the Kindle than my Lap Top.

I am not disagreeing with the other reviewers. I test devices and cases as a side hobby, then write published reviews. My main criteria for any case, be it Thrive,Ipad 2, Galaxy 10.1, Iconia, Touchpad etc, is portability. I do NOT want a case that will protect the device if I drop it on the ground. I want a case that hardly adds any bulk, makes it easy to grip and protects the screen from knocks. All of the devices I just mentioned, have pretty scratch resistant screens. They may smudge easily in some cases, but the screens are pretty solid. So if I want to slip a device into my bag or case, I only need it to to stop dust and dirt getting onto the screen. I also want to stop any really hard objects from creating concentrated pressure. If you have a $500-700 device, then you should make sure you do not drop it: having a device that is non slip and not bulky to carry, achieves that. Having a case that is huge, does not let you hold it comfortably in your hands and has to be removed to use in a dock...well that is too much hassle to even want to make me use the tablet!This case, in my opinion, does not do the Thrive any justice. It adds a POUND in weight! It almost doubles the bulk of the device. It makes it a lot more difficult to hold. But most of all it hides the beautiful form of the thrive completely. I think it is a really ugly cover too, since it is bigger, depth-wise, than it needs to be. It's like putting Cinderalla's foot in a size 15 wader! The whole point of a tablet is portability, and while the Thrive is a little heavier than most, it is well balanced and ideal for a lot of needs. It is however not a laptop substitute-none of these devices are. So why try and create a case that almost increases the weight to 2.8 pounds! There are some laptops that are just 3.5 lbs!For my money, get the Roo slimline case or ....no case! The back of the Thrive is rubberized for a reason-so it is easy to grip and hold for extended periods. The screen is scratch resistant: you cannot scratch it easily and certainly not simply by putting it on your briefcase, bag or handbag. It will get some dust and dirt on it, but that will not scratch the screen. For the most part a cover is not really necessary, but sometimes, due to weather or lugging the case for longer periods when traveling, a case is useful.I hope this review helps!!

Does not fit my 10.1” Toshiba tablet
