does the hinge on the laptop eventually wear out and become loose when you use the touchscreen?

Using the touchscreen is awkward since the body of the machine is light. Touching the screen makes the whole unit move. I had hinge issues unrelated to the touchscreen. Sent it back 3 times before asus replaced it with a refurbished unit.

hi there! I'm not computer expert but I work for myself and use it ALL of the time! i am about the most clumbsy person that you'd ever speak to and I can testify, it's just as Stiff as it wass when purchased in September :) .. it still feels brand new and I use this maybe 6+ Hrs per day 7 days per week. Hope this helps! www.KatrinaSellsChicago.com

Mine keeps the laptop in place and there is no give to it as you type. It's quite stable.

Well the obvious weak point with all laptops is the hinges, so I always try to be careful with opening/closing no matter what. The case itself feels pretty solid but the only flimsiness I've kinda noticed is when you close the lid it tends to wanna pretend like you slammed it and close fast.

I've had mine since December of 2014 with no issues of being loose. I do not adjust it very frequently either. It pretty much sits in place and works very well so far. If anything, it's still as stiff as day one.

Seems to be pressure sensitive, from videos here:http://blog.laptopmag.com/asus-eee-slate-ep121-early-thoughts-and-touch-user-interface-hands-on#axzz1AKaVoTOG

I've been using it for months and it doesn't easily come off. It may be a little awkward putting it on at first, but just make sure you cover the keys completely and it will fit perfectly. Also, it won't come off unless you lift it up but if i simply hold my laptop upside down, it stays in tact and doesn't move at all!

Very firmly. I use it in my lap frequently and that was impossible with my old keyboard too. I've had mine for 3 months so far and couldn't be happier!

Yes is quite loose, but after a while you'll get used to it, i've noticed that my typing has to be more slow and steady than before in order not to move it

The cover is a tight fit but you'll need to force the tabs away from the laptop and then it will fall off. So you can get the covers off if you take your time. I've had this case on my laptop for about 10 months and even travel with it and have had no problems with the quality of this case.

That hasn't happened to me at all after a couple weeks of use. I take it in and out of my backpack a couple times daily and travel with it...so it's getting used and tossed around. You do have to make sure the case "clicks" into place when you install it. You'll have to mess with it a bit to get it secure. I'm sure those that are having this issue just didn't install it to a solid fit.

Have had no problems with this issue. I often use the laptop on my lap and it seems firm to me.

Yes, it stays nice and cool. Seriously a really great laptop for the price. I use it daily.

I'm not sure if there are reliability issues with the laptop I bought or not yet. It seems to be doing very well, I've had it for about 4 months now. Sometimes my touch pad is a bit too sensitive, or not sensitive. Like I'll be typing and it'll move, ty cursor to a crazy point, or I'll try to scroll down a page but the touch pad won't register what I'm trying to do. Other than that I haven't had any problems!

I thinks some people may object to the hinges and or the extruded aluminum edges which must align when the case is closed. Sometimes the hinges are a little loose, causing a misalignment or possible the aluminum edges just don't match that perfectly. It can make the case difficult to close and can also cause the latches to misalign. Nevertheless, i think they are a very good durable case and can be had at a fair price.

The hinges and case feel pretty strong. When I grab the laptop by one hand to pull it UP out of my back pack the lid does feel a little on the flimsy side because I can feel the pressure from my fingers pushing in on the lid a little bit. When I pull it out of my backpack more "horizontally" it helps since I'm not putting direct finger pressure on the lid. Outside of this I think the lid is fine. All in all I have been pretty happy with this laptop so far.

I haven't had a single problem since i got it about 2 months ago. it's definitely not the best touchpad in the world and it doesn't really compare to a macbook pro touchpad but it works.

Now that I see this picture, mine in black does seem to have same problem. It's really not noticeable...the hinge is just not real strong...I'm glad I bought this, but I'm not expecting it to last for years.
