Like the case, fabric, design and functionality with origami folds. Got a better deal by buying a “like new” one. If I take the case/scribe out of the house, I still put the whole thing in another sleeve bag. Magnets work well, but if you dropped the scribe with only folio case on it, might get damaged since edges are exposed and scribe might pop out. This was a personal thing, but I cut off the pen loop; like it better that way and the magnet holds pen in place on the side fine.
A little heavy, but..
It's a little heavy. But it's like reading a hard cover. The big print makes a difference for older people with bad eye sight. I upgraded from a small Kindle and it was worth it. The scribe part is nice. I use it take casual notes with. It's not for work because it doesn't have features a business person needs, but if you just want to write things down after reading a book, it's perfect. Not very useful if you want to keep notes on a page.

Great quality product by Amazon but overpriced

Quality improved on the latest stock! Edges are heat-sealed to prevent loose threads.
I bought the Scribe essentials pack in November, with the blue denim Folio. The price for the folio by itself seems steep, but it's very reasonable if you wait for Amazon Day/Black Friday/Boxing Day pricing along with the bundle discount.steve_rolfecaQuality improved on the latest stock!

The more I used it, the more I realized what a good overall design it is:
- Multiple kickstand angles make it useful in a variety of situations. It's very stable when standing up.
- Surprisingly, the fabric didn't seem to soak up fluids, or get stained from handling.
- Protruding edges and strong magnetic attachment make it surprisingly protective for an open-sided case, and help to keep the pen in place if you leave it magnetically attached to the Scribe.
- Still, I found that the pen could get bumped off too easily when picking the tablet up, or walking around with it. That's when the pen loop is invaluable. It has just the right tension to hold the pen, yet it's easy to retrieve when you're ready to write.
- The fabric is grippy, and makes it easier to hang on to the device when reading.
- I wasn't sure about a top-hinged cover at first, but it turned out to be very accommodating when seated, writing on a table, lying on my back or on my side while reading in bed, etc.
- BIG feature for left-handed users: you can flip your Scribe 180 degrees in the case, so the "grip side" of the Scribe is on the right, and the cover still works perfectly- not just as a cover, but as a kickstand. Access to the power button is just as good for right-hand or left-hand use. This is a major plus- seem my comment below about trying an Onyx Boox tablet with a side-hinged folio cover!
My only complaint about the fabric folio, was the way it was finished- the edges felt almost uncomfortably sharp, and as other people have reported, regular handling over a couple of weeks was enough to cause the edges to start fraying. I actually had to trim little threads off the cover with my nail scissors.
My reason for posting this review, is that I returned my Scribe before Christmas in order to try out a competing tablet from Boox. That experience further reinforced what a good little folio this is. The placement of the magnets on the Note Air3 C folio wasn't symmetrical- it was cumbersome, but stood firm in right-handed use. But when I flipped the tablet, the magnets were now in the wrong place- it wouldn't stand up at all!
I ended up returning the NA3C, and ordering another Scribe. Imagine how pleased I was when I unboxed the Folio (I got the blue denim again), and discovered that it has neatly rolled and heat-sealed edges! Picture attached...
The new edge treatment makes it feel more comfortable in the hand, and pulled threads shouldn't be a problem this time around.
