TC Review: Monaco Sleeve Type Case for Centro
Reviewed by Andre Kibbe
Aesthetically, this is a lovely case. Made of black cowhide leather with white overstitching for a visible trim, the Monaco has a nice handmade look and feel. The soft leather stretches perfectly so that you’ve essentially broken in the case after a single use. It’s not necessary to exert much force to slip the Centro in place, even the first time. The stitches apparently keep the case from overstretching, so there’s never much slack.

The case itself is a three-piece construction. The main expanse of leather covers the Centro’s front and perimeter, with openings for the screen and keyboard, then the usual array of cutouts. This piece is sewn to a padded base covering the Centro’s back, securing at the top with a button closure reaching over from the front piece to the base. Finally, a small threaded receptacle for the swivel clip bolt is stitched into the outside of the base.

The threaded receptacle is a common feature on Monaco cases. You simply screw the swivel clip bolt on or off to switch between clip-ready and clipless. What’s more common on other cases is to have a two-piece assembly where one half mounts on the inside of the case and snaps through to the other half that mounts on the outside, which takes several times longer to attach and detach. Monaco’s design is more intuitive.

Another “best of” (or “first of”?) award goes to the Monaco’s cutout provisions, which account for every last port, button, key and switch the Centro features. Most of the Centro cases I’ve tested are about 90% complete in the cutout department. Frequent omissions are cutouts for the IR port and the microSD bay—usually the latter. It’s nice to see that not every case designer considers these expendable.
