Any good case? - Galaxy Tab 4 Accessories

Hey, I wanted to ask you what case do you use on your Tab. I'm going to get a messenger style bag for it to carry around, but still need some basic protection so which one should I get - Gel TPU Case ot Book cover styled case. Do you have any brand in mind that supports the sleep function correctly, as I tested one chinese knock off and it didn't work at all.

Re: Good case for the Tab IV
I have been using a rooCase Executive Portfolio type case for a while now [since mid-July], and have really been pleased with it. It's made of real leather, and holds up well with basic, day-to-day use. HTH

I got Inateck model TP1004 for only $6.99 several days ago when it's on sale. It seems that the promo code still works: HRUAQ2O4
It's a smart case and supports auto sleep and wake-up function.

I am not sure, however, after exploring the tablet software a little bit there is an awesome desktop dock application that shows the weather, the htc clock, and facebook updates. So I take it we will see a home dock in the near feature. I wish a car dock would come out, but because of its size and legality of videos playing while driving, we probably won't see one of those.
The only two accessories that I know of are:
HTC Scribe Pen - $80
Anti-Glare Screen Protector @ AT&T - $20
- Dan
Actually, if you go to Amazon and search for HTC Puccini, a tpc case also shows up. No case, though....soon, I hope!

For anyone looking for decent case that fits the HTC Jetstream until cases that are made for this product reach the market. I have been using a Targus (Truss Leather Case / Stand) Model Number THZ07002US from Best Buy.
It’s a case that was made to fit an Acer ICONIA TAB A500 10.1 pad. It works as a cover and a stand that has three viewing angles in stand mode. It also has a slot for the styles pen but it’s a little bulky, doesn’t fit as tightly as I would like and it covers the back camera. All that said you can easily reach the on off switch, head phone jack, volume controls and even plug the unit in without taking the pad out of the case.
I still want to buy a case made for my unit that lets me use the back camera and that fits a little better but until they become available I needed some thing to protect my new overpriced but amazing Jetstream.
Looks like PDAir will be making some and rooCASE will have some nice ones ready October 19 on Amazon...they look nice.
scribe pen
is the scribe pen still coming free with the device if its bought in store? thanks
Yes, until October 15...
Pen Issues
I bought the unit in person last week, just before closing on my way home from work. The ATT store did not include the pen with my purchase and I forgot to ask for it. I went back in the am to get it and boy did it get interesting.
They started out with the story that the Pen only was included if you bought the data plan on a 2 year commitment?
I said really? Show me where it says that? I have seen the pen offered in EVERY AD as free with purchase for a limited time.
We went round and round and the finally relented but what a PIA....
ATT is truly clueless when it comes to it's own products, promotions etc.
Love the Jetstream, dont love the hoops you have to jump through.
How about NO ONE knowing when the LTE network is turning on?
Why am I paying for a data plan for something that is not ever available yet and has no timeline?
I passed on the data.
Have unlimited wifi tether on my rooted inspire so that's my dataplan.
Yeah I didnt think they were all coming with pens, hope mine has one with it ><
Didn't have that issue. I am WiFi only and they asked to register me and I said I didn't really need to because I was using it only on WiFi networks. Got the pen nonetheless.
I think you are supposed to have a data plan, but the advertising was hazy....and the ATT rep said without me asking that I got the pen. I really think it depends on the person.
ATT doesn't have good reception in my neck of the woods, so Sprint is my provider. like you, Tracy, I just tether.
Skinomi has screen protectors and skins. There is also a 25% coupon.
www.skinomi.com
Coupon code is skinomi25 plus free shipping.
They are good skins. Apply like Zagg but no orange peel. They are slick.
Case/cover for Jetstream
Picked this case up on Amazon last week.
http://www.amazon.com/HTC-PUCCINI-S...H4TA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1316444249&sr=8-3
For 9.99 was not expecting much....Case is great....Soft and flexibile. Covers the back and all the corners and makes holding easy.
I recommend highly.
Tracy
Has anybody heard about a folio case that allows it to stand up, much like the Xoom case? It's really the only thing I find the device is missing.
Melkco says they are working on one. So does PDAir. RooCASE will have one ready mid-October....you can see the rooCASE on Amazon. PDAir on their own website, and I conducted Melkco on my own....
Looks like we will have to be patient. The gel case on Amazon works well for the time being....
found this new case on ebay - looks good - will order one and see how is it
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sikai-Mibro...985919?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2eb825e17f
Found this case on the HTC website. It is the official case. I assume it looks just lile the Flyer case..
http://shopamerica.htc.com/product/productpop.htm?prId=39802
Due to being in a rush, i got this case for $70 at WalMart
www.kensington.com/kensington/us/us/p/1615/K39336US/keyfolio™-bluetooth®-keyboard-case.aspx
Had to make some mods such as cutting a big hole for the camera and cutting some of the elastic for clear the volume and power buttons. Also cut some of the front 'frame' so the screen is fully visable.
IMPORTANT: Just be aware the two/three small holes on the top of the Jetstream are light sesons for the flash/camera, so the hole you cut for the camera must be big enough allow light access to those small holes. The BT keyboard works great with it too.
did u get the case?

[Q] Best Case?

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?

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.
Drop Tech Series
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.

Folio Case for Sony Tablet S

I have been looking for a new case for my Sony Tablet S, and I have seen a few people with the ZaggFolio, It’s a case, Bluetooth keyboard and stand all in one but made for the IPAD2.
http://www.zagg.com/accessories/zaggfolio-ipad-2-keyboard-case
I did some searching and was able to then find the Kensington folio for universal 10 inch tablets. I went into best buy sadly the top part of the Sony tablet S is too thick for the holders and this case does not work either.
http://www.kensington.com/kensingto...niversal-bt-keyboard-case-for-10-tablets.aspx
Does anyone know any cases like this for the Sony tablet, Or know of a good combination of a Case and keyboard? (I don’t want to have to take my cradle every place I go and I would love a case that holds everything and is still easy to carry in my hand)

I didn't like that case and returned it to Amazon, I felt where the sides and top come together the stitching made it stick out too much.

"Smart Cover" style cases?

I find the smart cover case of my iPad 2 is ideal for typing in "landscape keyboard" mode. I haven't found any cases on eBay etc that do this except some really bulky/fugly ones. Has anyone found anything elegant/thin along the lines of the iPad 2 smart cover yet? I realize the GT7.7 doesn't have the logic to turn off when the cover is closed, I can live without that!
The original Samsung OEM case/cover looks very nice but doesn't seem to stand on its own in landscape keyboard mode

As long as the surface is not overly smooth, the Samsung Original Book Cover case does stand in landscape (thanks to rubber strips that adds friction). See pics. May not *look* especially stable, but it does seem to hold out nicely.
Ironically, I would like to see a case that allows my tab to stand in portrait mode, since I'm more likely to read that way. Never seen one before.
I have a case similar to the official iPad1 case. Very slim and snug fit. Doesn't add much to the size of the device, keeping the original slimness. Its faux leather on the outside and suede cloth inside. It has the same standing mechanism as the iPad1 case too. Comes in a few colours, I got the brown one.
I've been looking for exactly this type of case and was amazed they are made. I believe I can post images now and so I'll put some up later.

A similar one popped up on eBay last night for $25. Seller is in HK of course. What site did you find this on?
Tmall.com taobao.com

that one cost RMB120
I found it at http://www.minihotsale.com/rock-sam...blet-light-cool-folio-leather-case_p1435.html
$35 shipped, not terrible. I like that it doesn't intrude on the bezel the way some of the other folios do.
Thanks cyuet for pointing me in the right direction! Will advise once received.

Thats the one. I personally prefer cases that give all round protection and this case does that. I find cases that only grip the corners can come loose over time, and badly made ones have terrible tolerances and may not even adequetly hold the device.

I also think that a case like the smart cover for the ipad2 is ideal for the tab 7.7. I have seen those for the 10.1 and 8.9 on ebay, and I am pretty sure they will pop up for the 7.7 soon.

sleeve/pouch case

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

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.

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
Sent from my GT-P6800 using XDA
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.

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.
