Do the case, lid, or hinges feel flimsy or cheap?

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.

They're about average. The hinges seem solid but the case is a little on the cheap side.

It's nowhere near as sturdy as the "former businessman's workhorse" HP was. Similar size, large keyboard and screen but it feel plastic where the HP felt metal (and cool to the touch). Leave screen full up or close yourself as it will semi-slam on it's own if the screen is tilted towards the keyboard much at all. I've tried with it just slightly tilted (as if to prevent passerby from seeing screen while I refill my coffee) and by time i return with full cup, it's shut and gone to sleep/locked itself.

It feels sturdy to me. I use it daily but have only owned it a couple of months so I can't say much about durability.

Not sure how to answer this, I havent owned many computer cases. This one seems lighter than my others but it also is pretty well built and not flimsy when empty. It isnt near as heavy as my old leather one was...

It's very flexible... no hinges though...and it does not stay back while your on the phone unless you hold it back, and it doesn't stay closed if dropped because their isn't a latch..I don't use mine anymore... Went with a rubberized case

I haven't experienced any problems with this case. The volume and sound quality haven't been affected as far as I've noticed. I am very pleased wih mine.

Thanks for asking D.- I feel like the hinge is good and sturdy and yes it remains closed. I feel it will last rolling around in my purse. My husband carries his with him to work in a semi truck...he's had his all summer and it works fine and is still in really good shape. We keep one by the bed fully charged so he can come home, put his headset in it to charge while we sleep. We have been very satisfied with ours. In all I have ordered 3 more for friends...both charger case and headset. All really do like theirs as well and we've had no problems. Anita

Mine is doing great. It's easier to open each slot after the 7 or 8 months I've had mine. I've been careful with the hinges since another reviewer mentioned he's breaking off, so none of mine have broken. I love it!

The one I have does have quiet hinges. But... if the operator releases the lid while it's fully open, then it falls down hard with a rather loud smack.

I've only had mine for about 2 weeks but seems to be holding up just fine. The case perimeter is more rubbery than hard shell like, and feel very comfortable in my hand.

It is thin, flimsy, almost like balsa wood. I would not recommend it. Mine was uneven so the lid didn't even shut.

Not too bad. I believe that the hinged lid was was bent a bit but other than that no issues. Is a fairly thin walled steel, but reasonable for its purpose. Was easy to put together, bought it for my job and have used it once in two years. It stays indoors when not being used and did purchase a cover for it. But wouldn't say it requires one.

Mine has never broken, although I do not open and close it often. The ribbon is pretty cheap and thin. If you plan on opening the lid reportedly, I would get a metal hinge. If not, or does look very nice, especially for the price.

Hi, It's a good box, I carry eggs back from market and they bounce in the back of my car . That being said, the hinges are really fragile and don't stand up to opening and closing very well.

I've only had mine a short time but the one it comes with seems OK.It is a little flimsy.

Being made of plastic it definitely doesn't have the quality of a nice ultra book or a macbook pro. However, I am able to pick it up by one corner and not hear a creak from the frame flexing. It's already been dropped a couple of times with no signs of damage. In my opinion it falls somewhere in between high quality and good enough.

I gave this as a gift to my great granddaughter so am not sure as to the hinges, etc. My granddaughter says they are very pleased with the product as there is a space between the lid and the box that makes it safe for the fingers of children. Not sure if the lid slowly closes or not but they are happy with the box. I noticed that my great granddaughter can get things out of it safely and they don't worry about her getting hurt doing it. Hope this helps.l

No, Mike - it's a 'cheapie'. But, it's well made. I've only had mine for a couple of months, but it's holding up just fine. Plus, it's probably one-tenth the cost of an actual Samsung case. Good luck!
