As posted in another thread , I have the convertible case and have modified it to be able to use the charging stand without taking it out of the case. I don't see how you could do this with a journal case.
I like the convertible case because it doesn't add much bulk to the PlayBook and it can be a stand. Pics of modification attached. Note: the last pic is with the case on the charging stand. The piece removed does not compromise the integrity of being able to hold the PlayBook in properly.
Cool, although looking a little ghetto, better then taking it out each time.
I like the naked playbook for my two weeks, but if wanted to carry it around with me more, and just be able to throw it into a bag need a case.
Our Ipad 1 we got the covertible case and its very similar to the BB convertible case in function, thinness and material.
But at work, want to use the PB as a digital picture frame in addition to being bridged, and although most likely get through the day without a charge, I like the charging pod idea...but taking something in and out of a case (where it snaps in) probably wears over time.
Will try the convertaible case alone at work as a frame...if I can get through with not needing a charge and it looks ok, will probably return the pod...if not, out come the scissors to do the same as you did.
After more looking the journal case does seem like it has this thicker, more harder leather. Im just wondering how you guys use it when your standing or sitting. I think that journal case, does to thickness would be a little less comfortable for that? am i wrong?

Not really, its just as big as my thumb, and I'm not even 20 yet. As said though, if your going to multi task and want to use/view the playbook, I recommend the Convertable Case. If you want more class and just use your tablet by itself mostly, I recommend the Journal Case.
Can't really decide for you, but goodluck spending!

Lining them up side by side, the thickness is basically identical.
can someone with the journal do a youtube review and post it here?
i went to staples and had only quickly browsed one, a sales rep was kind enough to show it to me but obviously i couldnt really examine it since i wasnt buying a case yet.
I wanted the Journal but they were out so I tried convertible 1st till the Journal came out, as soon as the journal was instock I traded them. For one it matches my leather pouch for my Torch, two, I like the feel better, third the cover sits flush (convertible was bowed). fourth, the elastic to keep it closed was the main deciding factor.
I ordered a journal case after reading posts about it and seeing one in person. It looks really classy. Should be here Tuesday. Walmart.com has them for $40.
Did I really just write Walmart and classy in the same textbox?

Thanks for the tip. I paid $60 for it at staples yesterday.
well... I ended up with convertible case. i tried the journal and didnt like the way it feels in hand. The tough leather and the texture i didnt like, so i went for a convertible. Also i thought that the half detach case part from the back does not flop around like i expected it to.
just purchased the journal case online for under $40USD...went to best buy and saw the case itself...the power n volume buttons are hard to press, but then u can operate via settings....all bottom ports are accessible...but i aint paying $70 to best buy! total rip off.
