Tuff Luv Acer Iconia case: re-review!
So, after posting my review of the Tuff Luv A500 case, their director got in touch with me: it seems I was sent the wrong one by the retailer. Tuff Luv very kindly sent me the proper one to review – so here we go!
In typical fashion the case is, of course, made very well. The materials are great quality and the finish is good. This time, being the proper unit, the Acer A500 fits in it very snugly – no excess movement or slipping. All the controls are accessible, and all the ports & camera are usable whilst the tablet is in the case. These really were the main problems with the other (incorrect) case: the controls were obscured and the tablet moved too much.
There is just one minor niggle. When you open the case to put the tablet in, you have to put it in upside down. Of course, the screen orientation rotates – but it means the on/off switch is at the bottom (used to wake/sleep the tablet), along with the headphone jack slot and the camera. Just seems a bit strange to have gone to all the effort to create such a nice accessory, and then to forget this simple but obvious aspect.
That said, I’m particularly impressed by Tuff Luv’s interest & response to my initial review. Great social engagement like that means that, where before I’d have said “They’re alright…could do better”, I’m now firmly on the promoter side. Nice one!
My new conclusion? Great case. Buy it.
