It's great! I bought it because I have a tablet for the kids and they have already broken one screen. So I was looking for a case that protrudes a bit above the surface of the screen to protect it. The book-style cases can close, but if they fall while open, most of the time they fall completely open with the screen on the floor! It's a bit thicker, but it has proven to be durable! It also covers the camera so it can't get scratched, as it is recessed. Finally, it has a kickstand for propping it up and watching videos, which is a lifesaver, since that's its main use.
