The Samsung Note 10.1 Book Cover's more thoughtful features and appealing looks are overshadowed by its high price.

Typing

The typing angle locks in firmly and isn't easily knocked loose. Check out the review of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 and the Note 10.1's Book Cover.

Watching

While I appreciate the movie-watching angle, I wish it were a bit more stable.

Thoughtful

The Book Cover makes way to the S Pen stylus.

Bumpers

The bumper is on both the left and right sides of the bottom edge.

Holder

When in the typing angle, you get this handy (S) pen holder.

Inside

The internal microfibers feel soft and felt-y, like a pool table.

Nice hole, but I needed more

The back cover has a convenient hole for the camera. It's just too bad the front cover doesn't. When it comes time to take a pic, you have to flip the front cover over the back, but unfortunatley, it blocks the camera.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
