My TouchPad Today: CE Compass Leather Case - The Same, but Different?

Back in July I bought a CE Compass case for my TouchPad from Amazon and posted a couple of items about it...
This past week I bought the same case for my wife's TP and had a bit of a surprise -- albeit pleasant -- when it arrived yesterday... It's the same, but different!

Some of the differences apparent at first glance...

  • Better quality of materials
  • Better cut and fit of case to the device
  • Velcro strips added to secure flap that holds the device in the case (Reduces "drift" of device in the case, which was an issue with the prior version of the case.)
  • Concealed magnetic closures for case cover restyled and moved away from the edges of the case
  • Camera lens cutout (originally a circle) is now the same "swooping" open-sided type as used for the Home button


Overall, the darned thing just looks better now. The original version looked and felt as if it was a generic case that just happened to fit the TP. This new version actually looks like it was designed to fit the TouchPad.


Note: July version had hole punched near bottom right corner
after purchase to allow more light to reach ambient sensor.
