Krusell Donsö Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 Folio review

If its clean, modern aesthetic doesn’t do the trick, this sleek folio tablet case will impress you with some outstanding function and a comfortable, secure hold for your iPad 2, as well as your hand. In addition to complimenting your device’s form, features and functions, the Donsö is designed with a sleep/wake magnet and also converts easily into a tablet stand, offering you an angle for typing and a multitude of options for browsing and viewing.

Editor's Rating 

The Donsö tablet folio by Krusell is made of a lightly padded faux-leather material, and combines with a soft-touch felt interior to offer the iPad 2 solid protection against bumps, scratches and light impacts. The interior incorporates six tabs that clip to the device’s corners, and one each on its top and bottom side. Although they do keep the iPad 2 fitted snug inside, this design does leave some of tablet’s edges exposed to potential harms. The cover has an integrated latch that clips on to the side of the device, and just one index finger is all you need to easily pop it open, and a thumb to fasten it securely shut. The inside of the cover features a magnet for sleep/waking the iPad 2, and contains four deep grooves to hold the device in landscape format for browsing and viewing. To use this stand feature , the iPad simply detaches from the two corner tabs closest to the cover, and then folds over to rest stably in the angle you choose. When the device is secured with all six tabs, you can fold the cover completely back and have another stable angle for typing modes.

Pros

• Scratch- and water-resistant exterior
• Provides multiple viewing angles

Overall: GOOD

It may be another minimalistic faux-leather design, but the Donsö functions exceptionally well and has a great, comfortable grip to separate from the rest of the pack. If you don’t mind paying a higher price, then this is a best case scenario for the Galaxy Tab 8.9 owner who demands a quality, functional and protective folio case.
