MSI Wind U100 Noreve Leather Case Review

Style: 9
There isn’t much I’d want to improve as far as the style of this case goes because it is simple and to the point. More of my concern with the design of this case is targeted to the protection of the case, but as far as the style goes, it’s classy looking and great for any customer.
Protection: 8
The majority of the case is protected with the exception of a portion of the sides of the case (which is exposed so that the MSI Wind can function properly while in the case) and the battery, which is exposed so that it doesn’t overheat while in use. My concern with this is that while not in use, the battery will not be protected at all. A simple way of handling that issue would be to take the battery out of the device while traveling or storing it away. Otherwise, if the case is closed and the device is not in use, the majority of the Wind will be protected through the high quality of the leather.
Functionality: 10
This case is designed to function completely while in the case. Enough said.
Overall: 9
(not an average) As a case that weighs less than 8oz, it is hand-crafted, and protective during all basic functions, it is definitely a competitive case on the market. There is no question as to the quality of the case; it merely depends on if you’re shopping for functionality or complete protection. Take a look at the pictures to give you a good idea of the design and compatibility of this Noreve case before you make any decisions. It is attractive, sleek, and light. Don’t pass this case by without consideration!

Color
I’ve received black and rose (pink) leather cases for the MSI Wind from NoreveUSA, though they have a variety of color options which you can find on their website. As far as the black and pink go, both are beautiful, smooth leather cases, both rich in color. The black has more of a sexy business look, and the pink has more of a fun, fashionable look.

Quality of Materials
The leather is beautiful and flawless (unless you order a Vintage textured case in which the leather has been distressed), and the case itself weighs less than 8oz. This hand-crafted leather is very high-quality, and the tight stitching is impeccable. The openings in the leather are symmetrical, and the stainless steel wire mesh is extremely protective against any outside harm.

Fit and Design
Like many of the other Noreve cases, it is simple to place the device into the case. By sliding the MSI Wind into the bottom rail system and folding the top flap over to snap it into place, the device is set and fits securely in place. It does not fit as tightly as many of the other cases, but just enough to ensure that it will not shift in the case. The design of this case is straightforward; it covers the top, bottom, and partially the sides, but allows room for the device to function while in the case by designing openings in the leather for USB cables, headphone cords, the mouse pad, and keyboard. As shown in the pictures, this case is nice to have not only for the protection of the device while it is in use, but also when it is stored away. Additionally, in the inner flap Noreve has offered two slots for business cards, IDs, credit cards, etc. and four mini slots for SD cards. As well, on the bottom of the case are openings in the leather for the speakers which are covered in stainless steel wire mesh, and there is an opening for the battery so that it does not overheat while in use.

Protection
This case offers a great deal of protection for the top of the case, but less so for the bottom of it, only because there are six wire mesh openings for the speakers, and an opening for the battery. This case seems to be better protection for the case while it is in use rather than to protect it during travel or while it is stored away, but it’s the price you pay for a case designed to allow your MSI Wind to function completely while in use.

Conclusion
I’d definitely recommend this case for those very interested in using their MSI Wind while inside the case. This Noreve case is designed perfectly for the Wind to function completely and with the high-quality leather and padding the device will be completely protected for any of those needs.
