Anyone know where I might get a pull tab case? Cheap and cheerful would be ideal.
Closest I've seen so far is this but it based in Hong Kong and doesnt seem to be pull tab?
I wonder would I be better off looking for a pull tab puch for another device which has roughly the same dimensions?
It would be a shame to put such a fine peace of equipment in a cheap pull tab case. And plus the pull tab may cause wear on the bottom of phone from constantly taking it in/out of case.
I'd wait for a nice slim pouch from http://www.senacases.com that is easy enogh to pull out without a tab.
looking for one either...
don't like silicon and other leather cases. they make its look ugly

Hello,
since today i have for my TYTN the Seidio 3200mAH Battery in use.
But, its a brick (but I love it) and I need a case for it
Do you have tips for an leather case (pouch oder others) you fits the brick.
I tested the Seido Leather Case, hard way to take the phone out of the the case....
Thanks!!!

Friend, you are in the situation i didn't want to be in. I was going to buy one of those battery types. Best advice is to go for a silicon one piece case from ebay. read my review. And put your other default battery back in the phone. Just use the bigger battery in emergencies.
I have yet to find a decent case that would fit the Hermes when its got the backpack on it like the one you are using. I spent weeks searching online for various cases too. You may get lucky. It may pay you to email someone like MK on ebay who make their own cases I think. I can't see it costing a great deal for them to put a case together that would fit your phone. They may tell you to wait until they get enough people wanting a larger form fit but its worth a try.
there could be a solution a DYI solution that is... and that would req to get a case to start with that is not for the hermes... BUT is the same exact width and height the depth to be the right side of battery...
now you would have to come up with some foam type or other material that you cut out exactly the shape to fit the extended battery case... and then cover it with some fabric and there you go... custom fit case for the extended battery
hey you could even find a material that is very light weight and would match without having to have a fabric material over and simply glue it on heh
I just got a Tab for Christmas and was wondering, what is/are your favorite case(s)? I'm looking for a case with a built in stand and good protection. Material and cost really don't matter.
I have had the official samsung galaxy tab 10.1 case for several months now and it's holding up nicely. Contrary to 3rd party cases, it fits the tab perfectly, not adding excessive bulk to the tab. You can stand the tab up or just have it rest at an incline. When completly opened it gives much better grip to hold the tab with one hand. You'll find several reviews on youtube if you search for "galaxy tab 10.1 case review"

Are you referring to the Official Book Cover? The only problem is the cost, is the case worth the ~$60 price?
360 case by pyro skins. Great case

Yeah... That's the one I was referring to. It is in fact a little steep at ~60$, but I find it's worth it because of the fit. The leather ones wrap around the corners and cover the sides, which actually may protect the tab better, but I just don't like the extra bulk... The galaxy tab 10.1 is a very thin tablet, I want a case that keeps it that way as much as possible.
On youtube one of the reviews compares the official case to the Belkin one, which gives a good idea of diffences in fit.

I really like it.
Clip case by Pyro Skins. I sent an email to him applauding the case and mentioned what MAY have been a problem with the case, and 30 minutes later I had a tracking # for a second case, no questions asked. You cant beat that kind of customer service.
Indeed the Official Samsung Book Case takes this one. Very functional and keeps the thin profile of the device. Only gripe is when taking pictures, since you'd have to hole up the front cover. But who takes a lot of snaps from their tabs anyway?
I do. Not a problem with Pyro Skins. Also thin and cheaper to buy.
I chose 360 case because of
A. Price
B. Don't have to leave case open in order to charge the tab. I want my tablet covered when left out on desk/table when charging. The official book case has to be left open to charge (I believe).

I agree
this case is very thin and I love it
After looking at all the suggestions, I purchased the VIPERTEK Premium Slim Leather Case Folio with Built-In Standbest from Amazon for $25. I really wanted a clip case and I chose the ViperTek over the PyroSkins clip case for the ability to charge while the case is closed. Thank you all for your input.
I am using the Belkin - Ultrathin Folio & very happy with the case so far.

I got the official samsung case and it's pretty awsome. A little expensive tough. A friend of mine was looking for a case for his tab and he found a similar case at dealextream. It does look a lot like mine, at least from the pictures.
just received the stock samsung 7.7 case (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006T15BGM)
very nice
looks great, feels great
only complaint, which is minor IMHO
the volume buttons are covered.
power is open
sdcard is open
connector/speakers open
camrea/flash open

Also it opens left-to-right instead of right-to-left correct? Deal breaker for me...

I believe the design of the 7.7 with the power and volume controls on the right side dictated where the hinge is for the book cover case .
Think about it.....If it opened right to left ,then the power and volume buttons would be on the bottom and subject to being accidentily activated when using it as a stand in landscape mode, as it would be sitting on them.Also they couldn't be used sitting on the bottom.
I've had it on since the second day I owned my 7.7 and got used to the left to right opening now. I do really love it's tight fitting, minimalist design and keeps the tab nice and thin.Feels good in my hands and gives more grip when gaming and surfing, works great as a stand and gives some protection for this beautiful screen when transporting it.
I'm not big on the other generic designs that are out there for the 7.7 right now. If you look at ones selling on Ebay ,the sellers are selling the exact one for the 7 inch ones too and look bulky.If something better comes out then I would consider it down the road but I think this is the best one out so far .
agreed, you wouldn't be able to use it as a stand if it opened the other way.
i like the way it opens

tab 7.7 case.
Im not very impressed with mine:
1: Dont like the fact it opens the wrong way. I agree they couldnt design it any other way but still dont like it.
2. After about a week the grips that keep it steady when standing up starts slipping on various surfaces. So tab keeps falling flat.
3: No option to put it in the tipical slighly tilted for typing possition like the case for tab 8.9 or 10.1
4. I can already see small cracks in the flexible rubber (hinge bit) and the cut open bit at the power button. For this price I was expecting way more.
Argh. All these mixed reviews of the OEM book cover is getting me quite confused. I don't really think I should shell out the amount of money they're asking for the case...
Maybe I'll just get an envelope/pouch from Timbuk2 or other makers while waiting for that perfect case with the multi-view angles.
As for the cover opening the "wrong" way, I think it's the right way from where the Tab was made. Most East Asia books DO operate like that. Especially mangas

I have the 8.9 with the book case. Is it the same sleek design and same thinness as the 8.9 case?
I've got the book cover the same day I got my 7.7 and first I didn't like it. The hinge was very stiff, the lid wasn't flush with the back when flipped around completely. But now I'm used to it and it's ok.
But:
- when the lid was flipped to the back for a longer time you can see the top (rubberlike) material delaminating from the hard bit inside in the hinge area
- when the lid is flipped to the back it's rather wobbly. I'm used to hold the Tab in my right hand with resting it on my spread little finger. But then the lid is always moving about and just feels quite assuring.
But it's a lot better than the Samsung pouch, which is simply waste of money.
The d30 leather pouch for the old Tab was way better but of course wasn't as light and space saving and you could always loose it when you were using the Tab.
Just got my Case today.
From all the horror stories I have been reading about it I thought it was going to be horrible but I like it so far.
First off:
It is incredibly thin and light. Adds almost no bulk at all.
Tab fits very well in the case and my hinge is not stiff at all so folds over very easily.
I dont like:
- all the corners except the top right are protected. So if you were to drop it on that corned it will dent the device.
- I actually dont like the cut out for the power. The material sticks out a little when the case is closed. Wish they didnt have cut out for it.
Besides that I think its really good. I dont think you will find another book case that will be as thin as this one.

Well yes and know. Just as sleek but the big difference is the fact that it only has one stand position unlike tab 8.9 and 10.1 design that has two. One upright and one slightly tilted/flat to type. Not sure how to explain it. Hope you understand what I mean...
I, too, like its sleekness and light weight, but I have to say I wouldn't spend $40+ again -- I think it's way overpriced for what it offers -- and that's after having numerous tablets and similar cases (most selling for under $25. If you can afford to wait for the market to catch up I'd recommend not buying this one.
Case
This place had the best price I could find. This was recommended by another member on here.
http://www.thecellguru.com/Products/62515
I ordered it and got confirmation on shipping too. Hence a reputable company to order from.
Thanks for the links...
If you want an alternative to the stock Samsung case I ran across this one on Ebay. Looks OK
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2in1-Touch-...&otn=4&po=LVI&ps=63&clkid=5633388799395603381
Going to give one of these a go - Will post up some pics once it gets here, but I'm not expecting anything too fancy for that price.
None of the others caught my eye and I regularly flip between portrait and landscape.

Samsung case
Just got mine (from the cell guru) and I actually like it.
good quality and not too bulky (can still hold it with one hand easily)
for $30, I'm not sure we can find a lot better
O
I got mine today from CellGuru along with the GT 7.7 from NegriElectronics!
So stoked!
I noticed on the plastic box it came in that it had an illustration for Keyboard Mode along with Media-Viewing Mode.
Anybody find out how the Keyboard Mode is supposed to work? It looks like it's propping the Tab up several inches.
I think Keyboard Mode is a mistake. There's really no way this thing can be propped up that way unless you just put something between the two sides.
Here's another case that popped up on ebay. Looks interesting, still debating if I should buy one.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/360-Rotatin...976?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a18c67618
I love the Samsung Case. It is quite svelt. I don't like that you only really have one angle to stand but it still looks awesome and as others have mentioned you still get a feel for how thin and light this tablet is.
Yesterday i got my $11 bookcase cover for my beloved 7.7, it fits the tab nicely and it has a "built in" stand so that you can use the tablet as for example a mediaplayer. Only downside, that I can see now with this type of stand, is that you need to have the tablet wrong way around (connector to the left, instead of right) when you want to use it as a type-stand, but thats not a big deal for me atleast.
The inside of the lid and backside are dressed in thin felt to not scratch the tab.
the plastic seems alittle thinner than on similar cases and that way you have a smaller risk getting the flash to reflect in the plastic when taking pictures.
It was quite cheap compared to the OEM bookcase covers that are out there, as I didnt "buy it now", the delivery was 5 workingdays from Hong Kong to Sweden.
I dont think i have ever gotten something from Hong Kong to Sweden that fast
So how do you like it? Would you reccomend it? How is the stand, does it feel like it will break or something?
I've been looking for something like this and I really like the look of this.. and the OEM ones are soooo expensive, as you say..

I am happy with it, and the stand seems sturdy enough.
And I would recomend it, remember to check out the rest of the colours also
Nice case, i have orderd one thx för the pic
GT-P6800 via Tapatalk 2
I purchased one of these and thought it was pretty good value. It looks nice on the tab (I had an orange one) and I didn't have any of the fit problems that others reported in the other thread. The stand worked great for my needs and the material it's made out of has a really nice feel to it too.
I did have a couple of minor gripes though.
1) There's nothing to keep the cover closed. Not a big deal if you just want the screen protected while it's in a bag or whatever.
2) The panel forms the bottom most part of the stand was always picking up dirt from whatever I set it down on and then carrying it back on to the screen when I closed it. I started to notice tiny abrasions on my screen protector from it.
I've since switched to a different case but still think this one was pretty good for the money.
I'm a new Tab S4 owner, and don't have a case yet. I had the screen shatter on my first tablet, a Galaxy Note 10.1 2014, and I've been crazy scared of drops ever since. It had one of the leather / cardboard book sleeve covers. Bumped off a bed stand onto a hardwood floor, and bang! On phones and smaller tablets I've gone to Roocase and on my Galaxy Tab S2, I have a Beetle Defense cover.
It seems like book sleeve covers are much more common than heavy duty cases for the Tab S4. Especially in tandem with keyboards. Are there any that are rugged enough to protect a dropped tablet? If not, is there any concensus on the best rugged case for the S4?
Thanks,
Joe
You are probably better off searching Amazon for " shockproof rugged samsung tab s4 case " and reading the reviews. There are a number of them out there. I personally don't use one myself. At home my Tab S4 sits in the pogo charging dock in my home office on my desk. And when I'm on the road I use this case https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GXDCGLQ/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 If you look closely that case has a strap that goes around the back to hold the case shut and pretty well protected. Though I have yet to drop it to test it out. FWIW I had the similar case by the same company for my Tab S3 and it is still running like a champ 1.5 years later.
But when I need to take notes by hand I take the tablet out of the case as it is easier for me to write on it with no case. I don't know how much interference a rugged case would have trying to write on it in terms of ergonomics. So I'd be sure to check reviews on how hard people found to write on the tablet while in the case.

Thanks, aspexil, I'm seeing a lot more cases on Amazon with "shockproof rugged" than I did looking for just case. Search terms are everything. Thanks also for comments on folio case - it is one I was looking at yesterday.
