The cracking issues and the clasp has put me off of this case.

Or this:

Nice thing about the second one is that it has a magnet on the back to hold the lid flat against the back. I would have bought it myself except that I dislike that edge around the rim.

Then there is the Joby Ori. A little more expensive at $70 but approx the same weight and bulk as the Canvas. Watch the video if you're not familiar with it's functions:

I just sent back my Canvas case this morning, after both lower right and left corners cracked. I don't think the "revised" version are any better, since this was a recent order of just a week or so ago.

I'm asking for a refund instead of an exchange so we'll see how it goes. It's disappointing since the case was otherwise really good, and there aren't any comparable cases out there for the same price.

I own a switcheasy case for my iphone and the material while stiff, seems a little more flexible while the Canvas plastic is VERY brittle. Don't know why they didn't use the same material for the Canvas. Maybe it was to cut down costs? If so, whatever money they gained from the cheaper plastic, is going to be offset by upset customers.

iFrogz Summit, but it's not as good as the Canvas, and I've had both.
 
Got to love a case that has a thread on how good it is and a thread on how the get replacements? Wow
