The only real negative (and boy was it huge) was that when it arrived it had a really strong chemical smell to it.  I left it out over night to air out.  I assumed that the smell was from adhesive (the lining is sewn at the edges to the outer case but I would assume there is some adhesive keeping it all together as well).  After a couple weeks, it just smells like leather.  The other small negative is that sometimes it leaves dusty columns across the screen but whether or not that is from where the lining contacts the screen or the gaps I don't know (I have seen the same affect on an iPad using an Apple smart cover so it must be something with the microfiber linings).

It holds the Tab 7+ firmly, the different easel positions are nice for viewing video and all the ports are accessible.  It really is a slim case and has a nice refined look when closed up.
