Are they a rip off?
$100 dollars is something I am willing to pay for protection that works and quality.
This book cover case looks cheap and say if you fold it open will it not block the camera?
A $20 case, oh great but does it fall apart or scratch you device?
The device cost me $750, I do not want to be cheap with the cover.
Decided to buy one anyway, blocking the camera seems stupid but the tablet is not going to take many pictures
I wouldn't waste my money on a genuine Samsung cover when I could pick up something identical made from identical materials by the exact same workers in the exact same factory....but just skipped the guy that attaches the "Samsung" logo.
I am 100% willing, however, to throw money at Oberon Design if they decide to make a case for the Pro...Mmm..
Oh, oh, or if Tuff-luv ever comes out with a Eco-nique natural hemp cover for it. That'd be freaking sweet. I love the one I've got on my Kindle.
BuyDig.com sells the original Samsung case for 59.99. At first I hesitated buying it, but after reading all the poor reviews and comments on the third party products, I decided to get it.
I must say, I am very glad I did. The feel is definitelly premium, and replicating the soft leather plastic feel of the tablet's back. It is also quite thin, not adding any significant bulk overall. Highly recommended, if you can spring for it.

Picked mine up at Verizon, and it costs $69, but I get a 25% discount through my job, so I spent $52 (inclusive of MI Sales Tax). I like it. It's thin, light, and works well, and because it doesn't add too much bulk, I can slip it easily into my Work Bag. I had the SPECK Case but returned it...too much bulk and I didn't care for the Clasp.
I have onesince day 1. Pricey but if you hold it, you think at the back doesnt have case.its thin and does its job. A very well made case. For this price im expecting a real leather.
I really like the official cover. If I could get one similar to it but made of real leather that would be amazing though. But I have zero complaints about it.

It has a Verizon logo on it but it's not a big deal to me.
I plan on using it with a Snugg PU Leather Sleeve Case for 13 " MacBook Air and Pro, Surface Pro 3, Black also on ebay and its only $13.99.
UPDATE
Got both items from Ebay and the Snugg case for MacBook Air works perfectly, a little room on sides but if it was smaller it would be to hard to get the tablet out of the sleeve as the rubberized coating on the case has a little grip to it.
This turned out that I got both items for under $30.00 and makes the Note 12.2 look very classy and rich looking.
I bought a Samsung case for my device it is really nice, I did have 1 problem that the magnet sensor was playing up, the screen wasn't turning on or it would just freeze. I think the case wasn't on properly, I'm sure it hasn't done it for awhile but normally if it doesn't turn on I just wait and use the button, that seems to work. for the trouble it's not worth the money, a little cheaper and I would definitely recommend it

Poetic Case for about $15...
I've had my 12.2 for about a year now. I originally bought the Samsung case - sooo unimpressed with it! I find it very flimsy, and it doesn't fold the right way to set in my lap (like an easel). I lived with it for about 2 months, then found a case similar to it on Ama zon from a company called Poetic. It has the lid magnets like the "official" case so the tablet sleeps when I close the lid. It also has the right creases in the cover to create the easel stand - perfect for lap use and watching movies. It has held up well over the months, and I'm not real gentle. Pleather outside, soft felt-like inside that lays against the screen. Tablet snaps in snugly, all the right slots and holes for the tablet. Very happy with it.
Search for "Poetic tablet case for samsung note pro 12.2", it was the first one on the list. LOL! Price went up a couple of bucks, still worth it.
offical flip case
The official samsung note pro flip case designer range moschino and kirkwood are selling at atomgsm.co.uk for only £11.79 including free UK delivery. Couldn't believe it bought A couple.
I think that if you're going to get this, you might as well get an rooCASE Origami cover. They are much more versatile in the way they fold and they are cheaper.

How do you like the fit of the GNote Pro in the Snugg case? I like to use mine with no case, but would like a nice sleeve for carrying it. How is the fit if there is no other case on the GNote Pro?

Fits very nice with a little room on the inside so you can actually put your favorite pen on the side or a USB 3.0 OTG dongle.

God those are ugly. Why would one go out of ones way to buy a beautiful device and the stick that on it?
what would you guys recommend as a decent protective yet slimline case for this device, preferably allow you to use the device whilst it's in the case. I've ordered the D2 but am deciding on what case to get

Invisishield
Wouldn't invisishield still require a case? It looks like the screen would still be very susceptible to dings, etc. that would kill the handwriting recognition.
I ended up ordering this:
http://www.blueunplugged.com/p.aspx?p=138216
and one of the silicone skins above. Got the leather case on me now. Pretty nice and a tight fit. Right side of it covers the end call button a bit but other than that it's all right. Would prefer if the leather was a bit thinner on the screen as it feels like it's recessed now. Regardless of that though I can still hit everything I want to on the screen so that's fine. The flip lid is hard and solid (must have thick card or something in it) so the screen is protected easily when it's shut. Also comes with space for memory cards and other plastic cards. Supplied with a removable screw on belt clip too! Doesn't add much bulk or weight to the phone and slips in nicely into my jeans pockets.
The best silicon cases are made by Capdase. I got my case for my HD a month ago. I checked, they don't have any yet but I am sure it will be available soon. What I will do is get a cheap replacement for now and wait for Capdase to come out with one. The one I have is non slippary and dust proof and and and it slips into my pocket nicely. Other silicon cases sticks to cloths and it's hard to get out of your pocket. It's not cheap, mine cost around $80 HKD which is around 6.50 GBP or 8 Euros. Hope this helps.

Nope.. I had one protecting my Diamond for 7 months... didnt effect ANYTHING. I dropped it a few times as well.
The IS is indeed very good
I have only seen it on a number if iPhones but it is as strong as they claim
We even tried the compass/knife test and scratched the hell out of it...or so we thought
It's very durable and did not damage the phone at all - Only downside is by the time it comes out (unless it is already), we'll all probably have a few light markings on it - no matter how well we keep it.
Something to note is the TD1 had a horrible procedure to apply it because of its curves/or lack of them ... I feel the TD2 will be much easier but lets see
Received my silicone case from xell_uk today ordered on the 30th April. Have to say it's a lot better than I thought it would be! Fits the D2 perfectly. Nice sized cut outs so you can easily access the ports and stylus and is snug and secure. Buttons are slightly more accessable as well compared to the other leather case I ordered. Device does look quite neat in this jacket too!

I've ordered my IS. Should arrive in a few days. http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield...es-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
I don't get it. Isn't the screen the most important part of the device? Why protect the back and sides only?
Can someone recommend a solution to this?
FYI all: I got the silicone case, and it DOESN'T fit perfectly around the device. On the left the case is a bit loose, so you can see the device peeking... this can be seen in pictures of the silicone casing everywhere. So be aware...
Checked with PDair... new leather case coming end May for TF.
..no pricing yet but guess it would be same as iconia n xoom price of US$119....free shipping world wide... go to pdair.com to checkout iconia n xoom case. Nice good quality....but expensive .... for those interested n want to spend...another very good option.
They have some up on the site now
Any got any of this, would like to hear a review
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Ya, saw on their site, sleeves are available.
But the folio case still not available but pricing is...just like I had guessed...same as the Iconia at US$119....free shipping worldwide though.
Quality wise..... will definitely be good, i had their case for my other gadget (phone)
But then again...its not cheap but material is very good and its real leather so will not peel like PU do, but cost is high
its personal choice really....spending about 1/3 to 1/4 of the tablet price (depending on where you got your tablet) on a leather case may not be everyone liking....so to each his own, but its really good stuff

This is almost the same as the ver 2 of the PDair case, which i prefer to the ver 1.
Ver 1 or 2 are basically different deisng for the kick stand, v1 need the flap and v2 uses grooves on the inner side of the main cover lid.
I am not sure about the quality of your gtab, looks good and 50 is good price...looking at the Pdair similar case for the playbook at 65, I also feel that 119 is on the high side perhaps on the size which need more leather.
One thing I am sure, PDair leather is good quality and age very well.
Cheers
$120!!!!...thats insane....

Hahaha
As mentioned before to each his own...have you seen or own PDair cases before...I dont deny its expensive but not insane as the quality is really superb.
check out any genuine leather case and you will see the the pricing is around 85 and above on average...you can get for playbook, ipad and smaller devices case for cheaper I guess for the fact that its smaller and less leather needed and also for some devices, the circulation is greater number and more competition, esp for ipad...many competitors cases.
ANyway is it worth getting? depends, if you intent to keep your TF for long, e.g. more than 1 year to 2 years, then perhaps yes, if you hop around devices then most probably no.
I am not in any way affiliated to PDair...just a very satisfied user of prior PDair case....I am also considering and really the price is the main consideration, I have no doubts on the leather and the workmanship from prior experience....will wait for 3.1 update to see whether TF and Honeycomb is a real keeper if it is, then I will get the case...
Just my 2cents...cheers
Too expensive
I can't believe how expensive the PDair leather case is on Ebay UK. £64!!! Then add postage. It would almost be cheaper to buy the keyboard dock and a netbook case!! Crazy talk...
I thought the Asus official sleeve was expensive. I guess I was wrong.
I'm a bit annoyed with Asus that they haven't released the official accessories for this tablet.
I'm so torn. PDAir makes some nice cases (I've owned them before), but $119?! Maybe if it was in the $70-80 range shipped, but that's just a bit too much.
Same here I woned Pdair cases before really good but this round its a bit expensive, again if the TF is a keeper for the next 2 years I might get one..really tempted...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033233&highlight=pdair&page=3
Check out the xoom guys chat on the ver 2, basically same just the position of the slots for the ports and camera, switches are different.
Really tempted to get one...
There are some videos on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=PDair+Leather+Case+for+Asus+Eee+Pad+Transformer&aq=f
Just received my Pdair case...version 2 design.....bite the bullet and bought it....expensive but the quality is great...the smell of the leather very nice...hahaha
The padding is very good and provide good protection to the tablet and the lid can be folded backwards when used as a reader in partrait mode for instance and the viewing as a stand with changeable angles is great.....the feel, design and quality is great...
The only thing is the price....not good, but hey noe that I bought it I am not going to think about it...and enjoy it instead....FYI, the postage is free worldwide, order from their site, not sure about ordering from other sites.
If I got the time will snap a few pics to show
cheers
I got that clip case from steve at electroniccrap.com- quality is great. I think I'll wait another bit for him to get his hands on the TF version- 100+ is just crazy.

Yes, very good quality indeed as always...which design did you get? I got the ver 2 design.
anyone care to post some pics?
I just bought a new case today and thought I would share it with everyone
Its called Platinum (Protetective Smartcase Holster)
It DOES NOT cover up the top mic,front facing side doesnt stick out like other cases (the number one thing i hate about my ballistics case from ATT) so when you need to touch the edge of the screen for what ever reason the case doesnt get in the way.
Its very nice to hold, and light, its thin and all around i think a good case, it no otterbox or ballistics case when it comes to protection, im fairly certain if i drop my phone in this case it can still incur damages, but if its a short fall it will hold up.
i think it makes it a little easier holding the phone with one hand as well.
but here are some pictures and if anyone has any questions feel free to ask
i bought it from bestbuy and its priced at $34.99 but i was lucky and got it for $24.99 because it was an "open item" so ask and see if they have one opened before buying full price

Case
That doesn't look too bad. I bought some Rocketfish branded POS from Best Buy, and I had to take it back immediately because it fit so poorly. How solid are the materials on this case?
pretty good, it doesnt feel cheap when holding or looking at it. theres a felt lining to keep the phone from scratching and its two pieces so it wont stretch out after trying to fit your phone in and out of it. its a nice case, like i said its not an otterbox or other "elite" case but i love it
Bought this case today while I was in best buy based on the info here. I'm very picky about my cases. I want thin and light but decent protection. This case is perfect. My case search is over (I've tried about a dozen now). I don't like buying online because I like to see the case before I buy it. Highly recommend this case.

i havent had a problem with the beltclip, ive used it for a few days now and i have a physical job. ive brushed it up against things and nothing. maybe it was just defective or hit your case in just the right spot?
just bought case yesterday
i just bought this case yesterday from best buy and i love it so far. the ballistic case would have been cool if it had a holster to go with it. this case adds very little bulk to the phone and feels great. ive used a seidio case with my nexus s and i never had a problem with it. they sell u a combo deal with a zagg screen proctector on it for $45. you can register the zagg sheild and you phone online so if anything happens to your screen they replace or fix the phone. i wish i would have known about the open case i prob would have asked for one to get it cheaper.
Just so you know, this case is the Seidio Surface case (seidioonline.com) rebranded for Best(?) Buy.
They also have other color options and a two-layer case on their site.
I like the case, however there is a very small gap between where it joins where you can see the silver rim. On top of this, the bottom plate is slightly wider than the top one so there's a small snag whenever you glide your finger down the edge.
If you're not needing the holster, I recommend buying it online as you can save $10 or so (assuming you don't buy it directly from Seidio)

No it isn't, same type of case but not made my seido. The seido cases are a tad thinner and of higher quality. I have owned both and prefer the seido, however Best Buy has a fantastic warranty so if you have issues they will resolve it promptly.
Just got this case yesterday and I'm having a hard time removing it. Is there a special trick to get this case off? Or is it just me. I tried what the instructions said, but it won't come off.

Ordered from China - I was thinking about importing more for other devices and selling them on if they were good enough, as there's an absence of silicone cases on the market here.
So, it comes in a rather nice plastic sleeve with Sikai all over it, and a very inspirational slogan: "Design originates from life. Specialization achieves quality." All good so far! I'm more impressed than I expected to be. Except with the slogan. It's not inspirational.

So I open up the sleeve. Immediately notice a really acrid rubber smell, even a few feet from the case. It's horrendous. It smells like there's been a friction fire in a condom factory. I've smelled more pleasant things coming out of my cat. You might expect this to be just the new rubber smell, but a rinse off doesn't get rid of it. No, this smell is here to stay. This certainly isn't the food grade material you get on some others. You'd be lucky to live if you ate anything off this.
Not that these things are designed for having lunch off, of course - but there's a trend today away from caustic rubber smells, BPA and parabens, and this doesn't try to follow. I wouldn't want any of the small things in my house chewing on this.
The smell is more bearable after a while. It's probably destroying my nose hairs. Okay, front view.
It looks okay. So some parts of it do take a big nod toward quality. The feel of the case is nice - the textured cover certainly won't be slipping out of your hands, and it's reasonably thick. The logo imprinted inside the case is a nice touch, too - that little extra bit, even though it's basically just a bit of blown rubber, adds to the overall impression of it.
The holes for peripherals, sensors and the cameras are nice, too - there's no spare silicone hanging off the holes, and overall it's really well made.
The back is just as nice. That textured feel is present all the way around. The Sikai logo is nicely imprinted - the detail is good. Overall, having a good feeling about it.
Okay, let's slide in the TF300T...
It goes in easily. Probably slightly too easily - after literally no struggle at all, the pad is in the case. And here's where the problems start.
Although the case fits snugly around the back, with all the holes matching up to the ports and sensors, around the front it's a different story. The front camera holes and sensors don't fit snugly - they're a few mm from the case holes, so that renders the front camera useless. You end up just seeing the ill-fitting case. All around the front of the case, the poor fit is the same:
But the holes fit nicely around the rest of the case: there isn't a mismatched hole, everything fits in and the volume buttons are taken care of nicely. They work very well.
However, leaving it on for a while, the deficiencies become apparent. That smell is back every time you get close to the tablet. Naturally, you may as well forget about using your front camera, too: it fits so poorly that it's entirely obscured by the case unless you hold it down to the glass. And the case starts to pick up the smallest of dust particles - not only that, but they stick to the case like... well, like the bad smell that the case also came with. They're a nightmare to get rid of. You're not cleaning this one in a hurry. And when you do clean it, it's going to get filthy again really quickly.
Alright, this is the black one - and we all know that black things show the dirt more. But the textured cover, while very impressive and grippy, just serves to attract dirt that gets stuck in the textures.
Not a great case - those fundamental flaws are the smell, the way dirt gets lodged in there and the extremely poor fit. "Specialization achieves quality"? It clearly doesn't. I think this is going in the bin - unless I find out a way to shrink it onto the pad, and then spray it with Febreeze every day.
Check this post out. I bought a silicone case off EBay that fits perfectly. Also, no acrid smell either. I have also listed my other purchases for my tablet in this post. The only thing missing is the dock. I just got it the other day from Office Depot. The manager even matched the price Walmart had online. I paid $119 for the dock.

Interesting. I was looking at a folding case instead. Something that's very similar to the first one - does the tablet fit pretty snugly?
Either that or a revolving one. They're just bulky, though. Kinda defeats the point of a thin and light tablet.

Oh yes, It fits the tab perfectly and I'm actually very impressed with it. Now that I've gone and bought a dock, I won't be using it as much as I would like.
I just bought a Poetic leather case for the dock and keyboard. According to the details and the reviews, it's all real leather and not the PU leather a lot of the cases are made of. I'll have it the first or second week of January and post a review for it.
Here's a link for it.

Have also the same problem as User in post 1
After months of wrangling with the IRS to get the 3rd stimulus payment that was owed to me, today i bought a Tab S7+ 512GB direct from Samsung. It's not due to arrive until the 4th of next month.
But since this is such an expensive beast, of course i'm already thinking about how to protect it from damage.
I prefer a hardshell case to prevent damage to the body. But protecting the screen is important too.
I'd like something that has the protection of a shell, but with something for the screen too, like a cover. I'm just not certain that a tempered glass protector will be enough to prevent scratches/cracks.
Unfortunately there isnt an Otterbox for the Tab S7+, only for the Tab S7. It's the 1st thing i looked for. Right now i'm considering the Spigen ToughArmor.
Either way, i'm looking for opinions. I've been wanting this tab for quite awhile now.
Thanks again!
I can say if you are looking for a super thin not get in the way case
then Samsung OEM case is absolutely top. I tried about 5 cases and nothing came close to comfort.
However it is really really thing
Well, what I'm really looking for is a hard shell case, but with a flip cover that closes over the screen. I would still have tempered glass on the screen, but i feel like a screen cover would provide additional protection. I'm not convinced that the official Samsung case will be tough enough.
I just picked up my Tab S7+ today. But I'm holding off on using it outside my apartment, until i at least have a case.
definitely agree on that. The Samsung case is not one for drops. It does function quite nice though
with an internal slot to hide the s-pen instead ofkeeping it in the outside
I just bought this hard outer shell case from Amazon:
TomToc EVA case
I was looking for something that would protect the screen when I'm not using it. With room for accessories like power brick, cables, bluetooth keyboard/earbuds. As soon as i saw it, i knew it was the one. There's another case like it on Amazon that's basically a clone, has nearly the same interior/exterior design, and costs less. However, some reviewers mentioned that it was lower quality, which explains the lower price.
This case is for 12.9" iPads, but the Tab S7+ was mentioned in the description. 1 person asked if it would work for our tab, answer was yes. And a reviewer said he was using it with our tab too. That was enough for me.
I wont really know how good this is until i get it, but i'm confident i made the right choice for my needs. I still plan to get an actual hardshell case for the tab itself, for when I'm using it outside this EVA case.
I have yet to buy a tempered glass screen protector, i need something that wont interfere with the fingerprint sensor.
Edit: i also just now bought the SupCase Unicorn Beetle Pro hardshell case. It was down to that, or the Spigen ToughArmor case. Amazon Prime says i should have it by the end of today. I'm going to try to make a quick trip to a shop this afternoon, to see if i can get a tempered glass screen protector installed. But i dont want it interfering with fingerprint sensor, and whatever i get must be compatible with a hard case.
I'm just really eager to get this beast fully protected, so i can use it away from home. I'll be using it foremost as a work device, but also for gaming.
So far best one I bought, but it is expensive.I have "tested " it on Adriatic Sea and it is quite durable.They said water proof but I didn't have courage to drawn it.But I forgot it on table outside while rain starts and nothing of water gets inside.Body is mixture of hard plastic and rubber all around also there is screen protector made in one piece with front.There are a 2 clamps which holds pen so impossible to detach it coincidently.It does have premium feel despite its robustness.Very solid and compact product

@tin2404: that's the case i bought. I already have it, but havent put it on the tab yet. It looks nice and durable though. I'd rather not put it on the tab just yet, it's best to put a screen protector on first.
I have glass protector on device and put it all together in that case without problem.
@tin2404: which screen protector do you use? Does the case interfere with it? Does your fingerprint sensor work when the protector is on? I cant even get it to work at all, despite multiple attempts. I can add a fingerprint, but cant use it to unlock. This is without a protector installed.
glass SP with this Unicorn Supcase, can it be done? did you remove the plastic SP that came with the case?

is it possible to remove the built in SP & put a glass SP instead? I'm worried the glass SP might come loose at the edges after installing the case
@adrian.jamit: Yes, you can use a glass protector with the SupCase. I haven't installed a glass protector yet, but i did remove the plastic protector that came with the case.
