Excellent product!!
This is an excellent folio cover / stand, and well worth the $20 sale price as the fit and quality is top-notch. That said, the only (minor) modifcation I would make would be to allow the landscape orientation of inserting the Playbook into the cover to be reversible so that you could use the bottom ports (ie, they would be on top). This unit is so finely engineered that you could damage the buttons on the Playbook if you try to do this.

Great Case for Playbook
Great case that performs exactly as advertised and at a great price. Received item promptly when being delivered to Canada.

Great case, with one little annoyance (depends how important that is to you)
I bought this case because I already owned the nylon Kindle Kaddy for 11 months and have been very pleased with it. Overall, this is a good case. It offers adequate protection to just throw it into a bag and go. It does add a bit of bulk, but that is to be expected from any tri-fold case. The clips have a very strong hold on the device, and it takes a bit of effort to get the thing back out. This can a good or bad thing, depending on your POV, but there is definitely security in that grip. The one annoyance is that the HDMI and USB ports are not accessible when the cover is closed. I have turned my Playbook 'upside down' in the case so that they are, but that means the headphone jack is no longer accessible when closed. Also, while the case is more or less "upside-down-able", there is a notch cut into the outside "top" clip to allow the volume buttons to clear. When I put the tablet in upside down, I have to press the buttons down to get the Playbook in or out. This is a very minor step, and does not really detract from its use. Would I buy again? Maybe. I would probably look for a case that allows access to the ports when closed, but depending on the sturdiness, features and appearance of this hypothetical other case, I could just as well stick with re-buying this one as well. Differences between this and the Kaddy (for anyone who happens to already own one): There is a groove on the outer cover for the elastic; the inside cover has a slotted rubber pad for standing; holes for camera (duh); six clips instead of four (two on either side, and two on the bottom); clips are rubberized (very nice); unfortunately does not allow access to all ports when closed :(
