A good case with a fatal flaw
Case offers good protection, magnetic clasp closes firmly and stays in place. Seems to be well made. Just one major problem. The Galaxy Tab 4 has a Home button that is raised above the surface of the tablet (unlike, say, an iPhone which is recessed). This case has no cutout or indentation on the inside of the front flip cover to accommodate this button, so any pressure on the case cover anywhere in the vicinity of the button will press the button. Holding the device by grasping anywhere on the bottom 1/4 of the device will press the button. Stick it in a bookbag and you'll drain your battery in a hurry with the device constantly waking up in response to the home button being pressed. Trying to decide if I send the case back or use an exacto knife to cut out a hole in the front flap for the button.
