TheCellGuru.com - Samsung OEM Book Cover Case for Galaxy Tab 7'7 - Black EFC-1E3NBEGSTA
I found one for only $31.70 + $1.99 Minimum Shipping (they have USPS and FedEx options)
They ship from PA, USA.
I wasn't going to get one based on all the mixed reviews and I wanted a "proper" case with multi-view angles, but for now I guess this will do at this price. At least it's not $45+
Ordered mine from there it was the cheapest i could find.. got it today.. it works.. in the pictures it looks thicker..

Awesome. Thanks!
Can't wait to get the whole set in my hands.
This is by far the cheapest I have found as well.
Thanks,
Hi there! I bought this case for someone else (gift), and I'm not sure if it fits the tablet well (I don't have the tab with me). Are you able to lock the front cover in place? Or is it basically just a flap? If you can post a pic that would be great! Thanks!

Search Youtube for a clip titled "Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 Original Sleeve and Screenprotector Review." (3:03 long) It shows the case in action. (Sorry I can't post links yet cause I'm such a noob.) From that video it doesn't look like the cover locks closed. It does look pretty damn sleak though. I've alread ordered one off eBay.
Price increased

Price has increased to $49.99 and is showing Out of Stock
Ordered one last week from the UK and got it today.
It's not a Samsung OEM. It's a Samsung Original product. (They are different.)
The cover does not lock shut but it does stay shut.

I thought the Samsung bookcase cover for the OG 7" did this a little better. The corners of that one protruded out past the screen just enough for the cover flap to nestle in. The 7.7 cover doesn't flop around like some iPad covers I've seen, but it's not as snug as the Samsung 7".
Anyway, I think 7.7 looks great and performs adequately and is good to have even if it's $20 too much.

I ordered mine from Cellguru yesterday for the $31.XX. Must have gotten the last one
A bit out if the subject but i think the following would be a better case than the samsung one. For starters it opens from right to left, as it shoukd,and the cover does not flap open as it has small magnets so it stays closed at all times. It also has easy access to power and vol up/down buttons, ear phone jack, mic, charging slot and speakers as well as the sim and sd slot. There would be no need to removed tad to access anything. The seller will also ship a combo stylus/pen, the stylus has a rubber end and it works flawlesly on the tab. I ordered mine about 2 weeks ago and received it yesterday, it came all the way from china. I originally payed 19.99 but the seller has then raised it 29.99, i guess due to the popularity of the tab. I still think its a very good deal for a very good case.

I don't get why people care what direction the flap opens. It's not a book, it's a tablet computer.

Are you sure, because OEM stands for "Original Equipment Manufacturer" and since Samsung is the manufacturer (i.e OEM) of both the 7.7 Tab and the 7.7 Book Cover Case, the Case could be considered both the "Original" case as well as being the "OEM" case

I think cases like this where you have slide the tablet in really hide the asthetic beauty and slimness of this devise. They also make it look thicker. The Samsung case is very thin. The tablet snaps in securely and allows you to see how thin the tab is. It doesn't mattervwhich wasy it opens. I can access all ports without taking it ot of the case. Obviously it all comes down to personal preference but I have seen no cases that come close to the Samsung.

This case is a Samsung Original.

Alright my fellow Canadians, if there are any, if you have a Prime you're probably just as pissed as I am about the lack of anything for this tablet up here and even more so I'm pissed at Amazon for refusing to ship anything here. SO, if you see anything for the TP in/available to Canada, post it up here
pretty sure there aren't any sleeves for the prime yet at all. I went to staples and bought a generic netbook 10.1 inch sleeve from targus. Its a little fat for the prime but I figure it'll fit in there much better when my keyboard arrives (if ever)
Basically. Just take your prime to an electronics store and see which sleeve it fits in
I'm waiting for my Prime, but I've been lurking on this sie for a case too. I was hoping to get that roo-case listed here from Amazon. I haven't tried to order it from Amazon.com, but I did read that they will ship to Canada.
What is their reason not to ship to you?
I noticed a few of the cases would ship from amazon.com to Canada - sadly, not all, but there is some selection.
So far every one on Amazon has refused to ship up here :-( just says sorry can't ship to your address

Bummer.
Looks like another long wait.
I just checked again - all the rooCASEs and the MiniSuit one listed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377669 ship to Canada sans problem (Toronto area at least). No dice for the Verteks, Moko, or Poetic ones.
Waiting to see what else shows up myself before just grabbing whats available, though.
i have got this one ，pics added.
took 3weeks from China,high quality and really good feels when holding it.
a free gift lucky clover in Apple,nice looking under light in dark.
fits samsung galaxy tab well.
i think also fit tab with dock,i put a book with galaxy tab together. see last two pics

Yea, I can echo that statement, hah
I ordered this case off ebay. I dont even have the tablet yet but I wanted to be prepared.
case logic pls-9
I just got the case today and I must say, it is quite a nice case. It neoprene on the outside and suede on the inside with a pouch on the outside for storing cables and such as well as a small spot for a thumb drive.
If you are looking for a soft case with good padding I highly reccomend it.

Hey guys, after I emailed them to ask if they could ship here it's all of a sudden available for shipping

Hey guys, email them, you'll get it for next to nothing. Amazon has some stupid requirement that things have to arrive within like 5 - 10 days at max or something like that and the only way for them to meet that is to charge $25 expedited. If yoiu email them and say you're in Canada, the guy told me he'll ship it China Post but it won't be within to 5 -10 but I don't care.
Just email em direct, BCSstore or whatever, originally the guy said just order it, put a UK or China delivery address and tell him the order number with an address in CA and he'll change it. Try it out, I got mine with free shipping and expected delivery is like 10 - 15 I think. I asked the guy if others could email direct he said sure, only issue is availability of stock
On the other hand, wanted one of those matte HHI screen protectors, they sell a 3 pack for $12 and want $24 for shipping, emailed them, they basically told be to get bent
I use this one, got it at Bestbuy for about $9 too.
Not sure if it was the 9" or 10" version
but it fits perfectly even with the dock attached.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fh78LIh2-Oo
I bought this case from Futureshop and it fits well.
Tucano Finatex 10"
http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/prod...spx?path=01bc42bce3cb207837454e115277bf6fen02
It has 2 compartments and the larger one is divided in half where the back half fits the prime alone quite well. The front half would fit the prime attached to the dock or the dock separately. The smaller compartment has a mini pocket in it to hold an iPod or phone sized device with a space for headphones to travel up the strap and exit near your shoulder.
The only thing I didn't like (it isn't specific to this case) is that the USB charger wall wart has no place to go that is not a danger to the screen if the bag gets squished.
2 pages and 20 days later and the OP is still absolutely right on track:

I just can't believe how hard it is to find a sleeve/case that fits a minimum requirements.
I'd love to get the Moko, Verteks, Roocase, Vipertek, Blurex slim sleeves (the one at multi-angle, portrait only mode) as they all seem to have the necessary cutouts of ports and speaker, and would allow docking the keyboard without removing the sleeve.
Except, they are ALL unavailable on Amazon.com, and I can't find any of these anywhere else.
Only thing available are the kind of sleeves/cases which cover the front side areas of the tablets which to me, is a no go as these can not be used alongside a dock ; or those like the MiniSuit which doesn't have a stand for the tablet alone.
Worse than that, the same thing goes for the screen shields ! It's impossible to get one here in Canada.
I can't wait to start using my tablet all the time (and get rid of my aging netbook) but I'm just too afraid to scratch it.
Really frustrated at this situation. And I did spend at least 4-5 hours in the past 2-3 days researching all the above.
I'm looking for a good sleeve/pouch style case for my tab 7.7.
I want it to protect it from scratches and maybe for "short" drops.
I have this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/SAMSUNG-GAL...ED8E/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1330242173&sr=8-6 , it serves the purpose but is too ugly for my taste
http://www.amazon.co.uk/HORIZONTAL-...RIOR-ACCESSORIES/dp/B005VAEDIY/ref=pd_cp_ce_1
I've got this one while I wait for my book cover style case from China / Hong Kong
Did you get it? Is it any good?
Sent from my GT-P6800 using XDA App
Yes, I received it on Saturday and it was a quick delivery as well. It's originally designed for the BlackBerry playbook and slightly smaller in dimensions in comparison to the 7.7
Some photos soon perhaps...
Another option is PDAIR, they also have pouch type case :
http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=11000659_11001131_11001398&products_id=35043
IIRC, their case got some positive reviews before
Here are some photos attached to this post
I ordered a Noreve case for my 7.7, to hold me off while I wait, I picked up a Blackberry Playbook Zip sleeve. It was on clearance at a local store, got it for $10 vs the $40 it originally sold for!
It fits as if it was custom made for the 7.7, it's an absolutely perfect fit and nice quality! Getting this for $10 almost makes me feel like I wasted $100 over at Noreve, lol.
http://crackberry.com/blackberry-playbook-zip-sleeve
Ive already got this one and it works pretty good. I originally got it for a HTC EVO View, but it works good for my 7.7. I also just ordered this, only $7.45 shipped and the embroidered "Galaxy Tab" logo looks great. It also has a pull tab that lifts the tablet out of the sleeve. I know it will fit with no case on, but Im hoping it will fit with a snap on case I ordered from Brando. Probably wont, but Ill still use it.
PSA: The black Tab sleeve (ET-GTABBSSGSTA) doesn't fit the 7.7. Not wide enough.

I can confirm this. I wrote a short Amazon review so other 7.7 owners will know.
I went for the BlackBerry PlayBook case too - Only £7.50 delivered from Amazon UK.
It is a perfect fit and is made of memory foam. Quality.
Ahhg - it's only £4.41 now! Still - it was good value at £7.50.

Not sure if it's the exact one, there's no label on it and I've thrown away the packaging. But, using a Belkin Kindle case works well for me.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Belkin-Neop...?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1331722112&sr=1-10
I've also got the Samsung book case, which fits nicely into the Belkin case for some extra protection when it's in my bag.
I got the blackberry one as well today. Is quite nice

Nook Color/Tablet sleeves work as well. So you can add those to the list. Accessories are pretty scarce at the moment so I'm reusing my Nook sleeve until my case arrives in the mail.
This is the one I'm using:

Is the Belkin case you're talking about actually for the Kindle Keyboard (3rd generation)? I have a sleeve for my kindle 3 and while I can slide the tab in, the top sticks out a bit. I should see if I can find my old kindle 2 case.

Well to be honest I know nothing about kindles so no idea which is which. The cover I have is pretty much the exact size of the Tab, it fits perfectly.

Thanks for this post. EVO view case fits perfectly
Not to resurrect a somewhat dead n' buried thread, but I'm on the hunt for a sleeve to protect my 7.7 while keeping the OEM bookstyle case always equipped on it.
I'm utterly disappointed at the lack of sleeves specifically designed for this tablet considering its made by Samsung, a top tier mobile computing company. Kind of reminds me why my next PC build will be Intel and not AMD, less third party vendor support - simply better chipsets and mobos. Maybe we should all get Ipads just to get some proper accessory support?
I'm kidding, but suggestions are appreciated. I even checked out amazon uk and can't find anything decent. I'm not too crazy about using a playbook branded sleeve either.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brand-New...ccessories&hash=item231876b2b0#ht_5251wt_1031
I am currently using this one，pretty good nice. works fine，shipping very fast
Just an FYI, the Blackberry Playbook Leather Sleeve, also works well with the Tab 7.7.
If you have or found a good case, post it here.
I bought the official case from TMO. It's a little pricey but provides excellent protection. As a matter of fact, the faucet in my bathroom leaks and I left my tablet on the counter one night. I woke the next morning and my tablet was sitting in a puddle of water that extended halfway up the case. Took the case off, wiped everything down, and plugged it back in. Worked fine. Even the liquid indicator was still white.

Ditto on the TMO case.. seems $20 too high, but honestly a pretty good hunk of hardware for your tablet. I will have one spare once I have my tablet mounted into my car dash..

Another vote for the TMo case and you are right about the price but you can buy it off Ebay for about $20 less unless you are like me and want it right now.

The brand is Incipio and I purchased mine from a TMo store for like $50. I had seen the same one on Ebay for half the price but I didn't want to wait. I checked Ebay and the case is no longer listed. I also looked on the Incipio web site and they don't even list it. I don't have a picture but the case is black and the tablet kind of snaps down into the bottom part of the case. You can open the case(it is held closed with an elastic strap) and you have three positions that the tablet can be set into. They range from a fairly good tilt to darn near upright. I have found the case to be quite nice and it really doesn't add much to the overall size. Hope this helps.

On the second picture, you can see bubbles in the microfiber. That's the glue separating because I got it wet.
I bought on ebay a smart cover like this from the auction 170821966479. It's thin, good protection and a good stand. I am very happy with it.
The TMO case is so popular in the US, but outside there are two options: universal 7 inch case or a not so bad case designed for the media pad. Search for t-mobile springboard case on ebay.
I bought a cheap-o case off eBay for $16. Listing was questionable as the sellers account was terminated the day after I bought it. I still got the case this morning after 3 weeks though. 2 problems with it. It's a little too thing for the springboard, so the outside edge around the display doesn't quit fold over all the way and sticks up. Secondly, the hole for the front facing camera is slightly off and the camera just barely peeks out from it.
Might not stick with the case though. Without the case I've always been able to stick it in my back pocket (slacks or jeans) and walk around with it to a few places, lunch breaks, dog walks, etc. With the case its a no go.

Yes, I have also found this one on eBay. I have ordered it (the same colour like lilaliend). But it never arrived (I got my money back). Fortunatelly!!
After the first attempt with eBay, I have decided to invest a bit more money and ordered a leather case from PDair:
qqq.pdair.com/index.php/ebook-reader-tablet/huawei/huawei-mediapad/leather-case-for-huawei-mediapad-book-type-black.htmk
(in the URL please replace qqq with www and htmk with html)
You can buy it directly from PDair for $80. This is quite a lot of money. But PDair's reseller for Middle East sells the same case ("book type") for $60:
tbeyond.com/leather-case-for-huawei-mediapad-book-type-black-p-14363.htmk
(in the URL please replace htmk with html)
Free Worldwide Shipping. Even though the reseller is based in United Arab Emirates, the case came from Hong Kong. Delivery to Germany was without any problems.
My experience with the case from PDair: The case is simply excellent. I highly recommend it. It is worth the money:
PROS:
- durable black leather
- magnets! It closes with magnets
- the tablet fits nicely into the case (in contrast to the cheap case from eBay - see post from lilaliend)
- all holes (front and rear cameras, USB and HDMI ports, charger) are precisely where they should be
CONS:
- the case is rather thick. They use multiple layers of leather (you can see it on the pictures on the PDair website). So the tablet is really well protected. But with the case you can not put the tablet into your back pocket...
TMobile Incipio case for Springboard has dropped in price
If you were to shop for it now on the TMobile site the Incipio case is now $29. That's about $15 to maybe $20 cheaper than when I bought it earlier in the year. ARGH!
I do love my case though. The only thing that's bad is when you are in portrait mode and the front cover doesn't sit nicely back when holding it in that position.

I wanted a case that had a zippered closure, for added protection. I had this case from when I had purchased the Kindle Fire. But I decided to see if it would fit the Springpad. It does, with a bit of sanding or cutting.
This is an option if you are willing to sand down or cut two nibs from the top two clips. Each clip has two nibs, the one you want to sand down or cut is the one on the right for each clip. I have attached some pictures so you can see the zippered case and the two clips above, and a close up of the cut. Mine is a bit sloppy, but hey, I'm not complaining. See pictures.

this is my combo "temporary" case and universal stand. :laugh:
still looking for a folio-type case and I just got news that the local distributor here already has stocks and giving it for free for new buyers of MediaPad. :silly:
I wanted a case that protects the corners, could prop up the MediaPad in landscape and (!) did not cover the front (like some cases that cover the bezel around the display).
Turns out that this case for the Lenovo Ideapad A1 fits just fine. Only the hole for the camera is in the wrong place, but I don't use the Pad's camera anyway. Nice sleek design. Reeks of plastic/glue the first few days, but the smell wears off quickly and then you have a smart-looking case for your MediaPad.
Apparently this case comes with different names around the globe. Have a look at the pictures and see what's available in your country.
Hi
I'm using the EasyAcc Case for nearly a year now.
It fits great, exept the hole for the frontcamera could be a milimeter bigger.
I do not know, in it is available outside Germany.

Just put in the order for $21 change....
i know i will not be happy with the case....really looking forward some good clear bumpers.....
the only problem is how do you make such a big ass phone less bulky....
and if you are going to add bulk...how to make it look classy?

Ordered Bounce and Ultra-Crystal also. Only brand name case I could get before phone arrives.
Anyone have past experience with Bounce models?
I love the ultra-Crystal and Ultra-oleophobic from Spigen. Have used on all my phones since Captivate.

I also ordered the Bounce case (it shipped today) and the crystal screen protectors. The Bounce case looked to be the best combination of value, looks, light weight, and protection. I'll report back on their performance once I've got everything (The screen protectors are the only item I've gotten so far)
I wonder how the buttons will work. I hope that the "feeling: that you are pressing the button remains..

My wife has a TPU for her HTC one and access to the buttons suck!
the bounce looks like a very light weight skin....no additional protection except the fact that it will help avoid getting your phone dinged!
I'm sure once the phone is officially out we'll be getting better cases...patience is not a virtue
OP, if you're looking at Spigen, I like the looks of this one...

Looks a little more classy than the one you linked (in my opinion)
Bah, they dropped the prices on the neo hybrid by $10. I'd have considered it at that price Oh well, the Bounce looks great. I'll know in a few days for sure
Spigen is really all over the road on their pricing. First the $1 promo on select items, then they jumped to $29.99, then $34.99, now down to $24.99 its fine to lower the price but they better fix the ones they charged and haven't shipped and perhaps fix those that just shipped as well. It would be good for customer relations.

I would encourage you to make it known via email to them, and get a refund on the difference, clearly someone is messing it up and its going to cost them sales.

Finally on their FB page they are saying if you want one to let them know. They are gauging interest, that what I read in the thread/poll about that case. Since they cannot commit to one I am looking at this instead http://www.seidioonline.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=CSF2SSGT3K-DG Sedio Ledger with metal kickstand. Has magnetic closure and big S-View window. The price is right, I just wish they offered some better color options, but I might get the red/grey combo for some flash.

This looks phenomenal. Just wish it was a bit cheaper. For those who have used flip covers in the past how do you feel about them compared to regular cases? I just ordered the neo hybrid as my first note 3 case and currently have a Seidio active on my note 2 which I like(although it's a bit bulky). But I'm thinking about trying the above Seidio Ledger case when it is released. My biggest concern is it becoming a nuisance with the extra flap hanging around, especially when taking pictures or attempting to use with one hand. Thoughts? Experiences?
I had the Slim Armor View on the GS4 and I didn't find it intrusive at all, I simply flipped the cover back and used the phone as if it wasn't there. The Ledge from Seidio looks to be the same. Obviously when using the camera you won't want the cover folded back even if it does line up, the extra plastic in between the image and the lens will likely cause for crappy images.
Still its a small price to pay for full protection and a view window.

Thanks for the info. I will likely give the Ledger a shot when it releases
I got two SPIGEN Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Case Protective Slim Fit Dual Protection Cover for Galaxy Note III below for $2 lol I thought it wa a accident as they were priced so low. Then they went up to 24.99! I should of bought 10 lol

Received the Bounce from Spigen the other day and without phone inside it fits my Seidio Active holster from the Note 2 very well. The top half of the holster that the screen faces doesn't appear to be wide enough to protect it edge to edge, but sold my Note 2 on 8/31 so I cannot compare.
Yes, I am one of those that uses a holster. At work only though.
I am 6' 3" and 240lbs so I tell myself it doesn't look as obvious, but my wife and kids say otherwise

Seidio should have the Surface and holser friday . Have a couple hybrid Spigens now but I need my surface case and holster. I just don't want to pay the initial price. They will be half price in 6 months.

I have the bounce and it compliments the phone very well. And it looks classy to me. Gives me a good grip too. I am actually preferring it over my sview for now.
When I was considering buying the S3 and perusing it's forum, I encountered a thread, or threads, that talked about the pro and cons of various cases in respect to magnets contained within them, and potential trouble/interference/distortion of magnets on the screen and S-Pen. So, this is to start a similar discussion on this subject as I have ordered the S4 and will, almost certainly, want to use it with a case of some sort.
I have already ordered the TiMOVO Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 10.5" Case from Amazon https://1n.pm/WDzp1
but wish to see what others are doing/thinking.
I don't that is a bad choice. I like the similarities to my S3 cover. I have the S4 keyboard and it could have been better designed.
UAG case
I'm not really a fan of cases with the flip covers. I was hoping to get something with a kickstand on the back, but most that I found online were flip covers.
I was hoping for a rugged case to come out, but with very limited options I just went to a local gadget store and chose the Urban Armor Gear Exoskeleton 10". The top edges of the screen are slightly covered but with watching movies there's usually a black bar at the top and bottom of the screen so I don't really mind it. The Tab is kind of exposed but there really isn't much bulk when holding it. It has a small kickstand and a slot for the S-pen. It's not perfect but it's working well for me. Amazon has a cheaper price compared to the official UAG website.
I also have the grey model (off-white back) and opted for the black exoskeleton case. I am enjoying the contrast between the tablet and the case.

To anyone, The s pen is very easy to lose, why would you buy a case that cant hold it?
I picked up the samsung book cover from best buy today(price match amazon $54) seems pretty high quality so far. I wish UAG would make the metropolis case for this tab. That is my favorite tablet case of all time, but seem they only like apple.
I got one from Verizon, it's their brand but it's just like an otter box. No flip cover and surprising thin and nice.

thanks Scott. that's pretty reassuring, as this case would tick a lot of boxes. the S4 (esp the 256GB / 6GB / LTE version) is so damn expensive (and imported), i need to be careful
have you seen this?

user claims "The magnet effect happens over time, and is likely not reversible. I don't recommend using cases w magnet auto sleep."
Stay original! This is s damn expensive device, especially those of us that got the LTE version from start.
I got the Samsung Book Cover, and gonna buy the keyboard cover if there are any black friday deals out. =)
I like the Infiland case because it has a dedicated slot for the pen as well.

Yes it has! Works 100% of the time. Only minor flaw with tablet is that I often like to have the case in "low profile" and when I am using DEX mode, it wont rotate to fit "low profile".
