I just bought a black one. I don't really like the feel of it. I think I'll return it in a few days if I don't change my mind. My initial thoughts:

- in the "type" stance, the screen is probably too small to really type like a full keyboard, so it's not that much better for typing. Also, the home screen, app drawer don't rotate to landscape, so if you're multitasking, get used to twisting your neck.

- In the "watch" mode, it's not very stable. So when you're tapping the menus, play/pause, etc, you have to be gentle or the folded cover might come undone and it will flop over.

- When opened or closed, the cover adds a fair amount of thickness to the overall package. Without the case, I can easily palm the Arc. But with the case, because of the material it's made out of, it's not so easy.

I'll try it out for a few more days before deciding, but for $50, I don't think it's worth it.
