Today my Amazon package finally arrived. It was a tablet case and tempered glass screen protector for the Google Pixel C tablet I won. The cases on amazon were all similar with how the open as a book. I really would have preferred just a rubbery case like I use on my ipod and cell phone. The case is pretty and is what I expected. The tempered glass screen protector is the part I didn't like as much. First off I'm almost certain it is plastic NOT glass. Second it did not give very good instructions for what to do with all that it came with. Since I have tested out so many tempered glass screen protectors I knew how to put it on anyway.

It's a very pretty cover. The instructions that come with some things are very basic sometimes. Other times, they are just plain wrong.

These had part english part chinese and it seems like they skimped on details to use both languages on the packaging ha ha

@shaggin There are some very strange instructions sometimes where the translation leaves a lot to be desired.

@JudyEv True, sometimes we have to read it 10 times before we can finally figure it out.

I think some tempered glass are thinner now. The case is pretty :)

All the ones I've tested out the past 6 months were about the same thickness but this does not feel like glass. I am thinking it might be some cheap knock off.

@infatuatedbby Nope because Amazon said they will delete any account that reviews something they got for free even if a review isn't required. That is what they told me when I emailed as to why a review of mine was not posted. I get Amazon codes from crowdtap all the time so I cannot have my account deleted or I would lose a lot of online earnings. As soon as the Amazon policy changed the sellers stopped listing products to test for free. Amz has changed its name two or three times since then. It is Vipon now I believe.

Thanks! For another site called askgfk I redeemed my points for a video game called Crysis 3 for my son. He is so excited. It said it arrives in 3-6 weeks so he has a long wait.

The cover is very pretty. I'm surprised Amazon doesn't have cases like what you were looking for. I know the iPads we get for the classroom come with the type of rubber case you mentioned.

I wasn't thrilled the choices for the case. I like the rubbery ones as I feel they protect the case better if dropped. Having to flip this one open all the time will be a pain in the neck.

This was $1 cheaper then the other cases and prettier so I think I made out pretty good but I wish it was a rubbery one instead of this one that folds to cover the front with a flap. I get excited receiving packages as well. I got two today...this one from Amazon and one from Smiley360 as well as the garbage stickers I have been waiting for! This package was scheduked to arrive tomorrow so I got lucky it came a day early. I feel like I have been waiting forever.

@Meramar I used to have Amazon Prime and everything was shipped within 2 days so waiting over a week this time felt like forever!

If it protects my tablet that is all that really matters to me. As pretty as it is I chose it simply because it was $1 cheaper then the other designs. You should see how awful the cover is on my cell phone but it works to protect my phone from breaking if dropped so I keep it. I could buy another one pretty cheap but every little bit I am able to save money is very helpful right now.

Thats kind of frustrating that it wsdnt what you were expecting. Did you pay a lot for it?

$11 for the case and $9 for the glass I think. I need to check the reviews and contact them.

Very pretty case. Sorry to hear the instructions we're not that good . At least you had experience with other tempered glass so you knew how to put it on.

Yep but I do not think this is truly glass I think it is plastic so I will need to look at the reviews others left to see what their experiences are.

You are right and I forgot all about that until you just said that. Now it is probably to late but it reminds me I should leave a review.

That's a beautiful case almost one like mine with the patterns...never used the other before.

Thank you. I bought this one because it was $1 lower then the other designs but I got lucky and it was pretty. All that really matters to me is that is protects my tablet. I do wish it was a rubbery one then it would be much more safe from drops.
