Introduction

This review delves into the PU Leather Case, a 360° rotatable protective case designed for the Honor Pad 9 (12.1-inch, 2023 model). Having used this case for several weeks, I’m ready to share my experiences, highlighting its strengths and weaknesses. The Pink color variant was tested, offering a stylish addition to the tablet’s aesthetic.

Features

The case boasts several key features: a 360° rotating design allowing for multiple viewing angles, a durable PU leather exterior, and a soft microfiber interior for screen protection. The design includes strategically placed cutouts for easy access to all ports and buttons. The stand functionality is a standout feature, providing stability in both landscape and portrait modes. The multiple stand angles proved especially useful for both media consumption and note-taking.

Performance

In terms of protection, the case excels. The PU leather offers excellent scratch resistance, and the overall build feels robust. Drops onto carpeted surfaces resulted in no damage to my tablet, suggesting good shock absorption. The rotating mechanism works smoothly, although it could benefit from a slightly more rigid lock in certain positions. The stand is solid and holds the tablet securely at various angles, even on uneven surfaces. The case adds minimal bulk to the Honor Pad 9, remaining relatively slim while providing substantial protection.

However, there were some minor drawbacks. While the case fits perfectly, the precision of the cutouts isn’t perfect. Accessing the USB-C port is a bit fiddly at times. The color, while visually appealing, is prone to attracting dust and fingerprints, necessitating regular cleaning.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Excellent protection, smooth rotation, multiple viewing angles, durable materials, stylish design, good shock absorption
• Cons: Slightly fiddly port access, minor precision issues with cutouts, attracts fingerprints and dust easily

Final Verdict

Overall, the PU Leather Case for Honor Pad 9 offers a compelling blend of style and functionality. The 360° rotation and multiple stand positions are incredibly convenient. The robust protection makes it suitable for everyday use, as well as for those who may be prone to accidental drops. While there are minor shortcomings concerning port access and fingerprint smudging, these drawbacks don’t significantly detract from the overall positive experience. I highly recommend this case to owners of the Honor Pad 9 12.1 inch tablet (2023) who seek a protective and versatile accessory.
