Its a nice low profile folder style case, priced reasonably at $17 shipped.
Only problem is apparently there is no side tabs (two bottom ones and one at top),
For some reason (unlike the rest of the stuff) its not listed on witglobal web store.
Find the ebay listings here.
Update: they have listed it on their webstore as well (for $16 shipped).

Update : they have also added a tab-less version (with 4 straps) for $17
Update : they have also 3 official Malata cases v2 (doesn't block the USB port) for $16 shipped.
Looks really nice and slim. But I don't understand what prevents the GTab from sliding out the side of the folio case. With tabs only on the top and bottom, it seems like the GTab can slip out sideways by accident.
Looks like someone bought it. If the buyer is on this forum, hopefully they'll come back here to post a review.
Just sent a couple of questions to the seller about that, hopefully I'll have a positive response. If nothing else, you could always get some foam or rubber to put on the tabs themselves, I would imagine that would keep it nice and snug in there, and protect the tablet from any scratches.
I would expect it to be a tight fit and friction would hold it in.
There are 10 cases sold so far (7 from the expired US listing and 3 from the current listing).
Lets hope any of these makes its way on of the members here.
Looks too unstable for me. I would be crying if it slipped out and hit some concrete.
Hello. Iave order one of these case but still haven't receive it. I will let you know if its ok

Stability of the Case
I would agree about the possibility of gtab sliding out of this case. I have one of their USB cases with clips on the left side as well as on the top and bottom and occassionally, the gtab will slip out the right side if I put it in my backpack the wrong direction. I would much rather see the unit slide in from the top down so that the case clasp would hold it in and have clips on the other three sides (left, right and bottom). I would think that a little velcro might be a good idea. I have the soft side of two long velcro strips on the back and it slides in and out ok. Not sure what would happen with the thickness of the assembly with the clips and velcro. It might be too large. I use the velcro when I use the gtab on my treadmill. Holds it from excess vibration from running.
As far as Witglobal goes, ordering process went smooth, took about three weeks total time to receive the case from them.

Thanks for letting us know. I figured someone here would buy one of these cases! Anyway, I'd love to hear how the case works out after you receive it. Some photos of your GTab in the case would also be nice!
Just Ordered One
I just ordered one. I'll let you know how it goes when I get it. I already got the case with keyboard from the same company. It took 3-4 weeks for it to come in, so don't be in a rush if you decide to order something from them.
As for this case not having tabs on the side, if the tab does seem to slide a bit I may glue a rubber mat/mesh to the back of the case, the same stuff used in tool boxes, drawers, etc. I would assume between the mesh and the friction of the tabs the tablet will stay in place.
How thick is the whole thing once the GTab is installed? Also, can the flap that covers the screen fold all the way back or does it only go a little over 90°? Very interested.

Looking at the pics, I would assume it would be like the case I already have. Yes, the cover will fold back on itself, but then the kickstand will not be able to fold out. Although it is possible to fold the cover back and open the kickstand on it.
Hope that answers your question.
Sorry fo the delay, I've been busy.
I'll let everyone know when it comes in.

Hi all sorry to kinda steal the thread but ...
Hope someone can help
Can anyone please confirm that the witglobal site is a real one and not a fake, it would be one thing to buy accessories for a couple of dollars, but another sending out 400$ for a tablet that would never show up
I've been searching the internet like crazy and yahoo answers says their fake (well someone does) and their company is registed at some room in an appartment building, so ...
Also i do live in western europe so if anyone has any knowledge for me that would be great.
thx in advance.
Why would you buy from them a $400 tablet ?!?
No more reliable alternatives ?
If its the g-tab you are looking for why not check at steve's store ($350 + shipping).
Any way, if you really must shop at witglobal for such high ticketed items, make sure you use paypal, if within 45 days you are not satisfied with your transaction paypal will get you your money back.
Hope that helps,

P.S. i didnt order mine from Witglobal on ebay beacause he had only 1 feedbackand i found it from another seller
and i receive it in 9 days

Thanks for the images, how is the build quality ? does it look cheap as it cost
do you think it wont slide out of the case if the case is hold vertically (being put in or taken out of a bag or something) ?
Also it would be great if you can post a link to that second seller you found
TIA

The build quality is good better from other cases I saw. The first thing I did was to hold the case vertically and shake it to see if it will slide out. its very tight. I will post the link tonight

How do you insert the GTab into this case? Do you sort of snap it into the case from above, and the clips grab the tablet? Or do you sort of slide the tablet in from the side? If the clips are very tight, then I imagine sliding the tablet in from the side may scratch the edges of the tablet?

I should have it in 10 business days. I like these because it helps me keep a grip plus protects it from scratches.
I'll let you know what I think when I get it.
There is also this one from PocketSolutions. It looks like it gives better protection.

OK here's the deal. Got the white one from Pocketsolutions and it is for a Tytn so it fits pretty loose..or somthing and the buttons don't fit properly.
I ordered the black one from...that igo place and they only sent the bottom portion. I contacted them to send the top half. I hope it is for a true 8525. I'll be pretty miffed if it isn't.
I'll report back when I get the black one...
BTW if you use a sticky pad in your ride...the silicone case won't hold and it'll slide.

Ok thanks Xultar.
Let me know if the Igo one fits any better when you get it. Finally got a Javoedge matte screen protector, so much better than the T-mobile rubbish that came with the phone!

Welp...the one you have pictured is the best one in my opinion. The 2 piece silicone are a pain. There is a slight lip that keeps it from fitting properly. I suppose you can cut it off but why chance it.
If you have a TyTN you'd probably have a better fit with the 2 piece since all the ones I've tested seem to go with Tytn even though they say they are for the 8525.
The 1 piece does not give as much protection as the 2 piece but the 1 piece is more apt to stay on.
Any one in the ATL area who wants a free TyTn white silicone case PM me. I work just inside 285 @ Glenridge...Oh and you'll get a white neck and wrist strap too if I can find it.

I have already went through all of the silicon cases that you have mentioned. The only thing is, it will take a couple of weeks to get it as it is coming from Hong Kong. It the best one yet. AND allows access to the keyboard and protects the screen.

On the site it doesnt say it fits the Cingular 8525... I Know the Tytn and 8525 are nearly the same but the fron buttons are different... i wonder how this cse fits!
Can the flip-up screen protector be removed?
I haven't found the two piece silicone cases to work well at all. The one piece style which I picked up from igonemobile is a good compromise in that it offers a reasonable degree of protection and still allows you to use the phone. This plus a good screen protector works for me. The two part cases stink.
I bought the same from igonemobile but the silicon cover does not fit the body snugly...it irritates me like hell....a definite no no from my side....

You are correct it is quite loose. But! Just know that 2 piece one does not stay on. As a matter of fact it doesn't stay on nearly as well as the igonemobile case.

I also had received this case (luckily for a very low price...else...) and i can declare also that this case is ****/crap whatever you want to call it....but it doesn't work/fit or stick to the pda.
Never ever spend any money on this piece of ****.....
What i don't understand is how you want to fit a 2 piece silicone case on the tytn as the opening between the keyboard and pda isn't big enough to let 2 silicone pieces go in between and slide over eachother.
The only thing you are forcing is that the slide will get loser because of this silicone crap case.
The front is also fit very loose....and once you put the pda in you're pocket and want to get it out again you are left with a pda with no case and 2 loose pieces of silicone in you're hand.
So please....never ever buy this POS....!!!

I have found a cheap and usable solution for a felt backing to my tablet. 99 cents:
http://www.dickblick.com/products/quick-stick-felt/
I found this at my local Michaels Arts and Crafts Store -- cut it a little smaller to size and then paste it to the back of the device. You might want to jot down the serial number first, in case you misplace the box.
I no longer have concerns about moving it on my desk and scuffing up the back.

For anyone wanting a back protector, I cut up some carbon fiber vinyl that I bought a while back from ebay. I lay it on flat surfaces a lot and didn't want scratches. Search carbon fiber vinyl on ebay.

I traced around the tablet on the vinyl backing. Then i cut the overall size down another 1/8" or so all the way around. Then line the vinyl up and start working from one side to the other. I only removed enough of the backing to get it started, then worked it on from there. Doing it this way you can work out any bubbles as you go, which works great.

Sounds good.
PM when you decide.
When I get a chance, I'll scan the backing of my vinyl that I applied. It is pretty close to perfect size, so you have to be exact when puting in on.
So, we putting together a group buy of this stuff or are we just gonna push rothnic into mass production of the things (like he doesn't do enough already LOL)?
Seriously though, I want on the CF Vinyl bandwagon, however I don't see the need for me personally to have 10 square feet.
Looking forward to your pattern, rothnic.
I used the link in Rothnic's post to order mine. $9.99 shipped was the price. It is really easy to apply, and surprisingly it laid down smooth on the curved edges. It is very tough, and looks cool. I did similar to Rothnic by just laying the tablet face down on the vinyl and tracing. Then I cut it about an 1/8th inch smaller. Fit great, and even let me peel it back up a couple times to get it right..
I really like it. Thanks again Rothnic.
I followed Rothnic's links to ebay and bough some 3M carbon vinyl film and I have to say, it ROCKS! I bought it from a different vendor for the same price, the vinyl itself is very heavy duty and easy to work with when applying. If you have ever fought with vinyl before (and maybe lost) this is a much better class of product than the old stuff. I'll put a quick tutorial on how I did it here just to show how easy it is since this is a DIY post after I get to 8 posts.
After reading Rothnic's original post I got excited and called all the sign shops in town looking for carbon fiber vinyl film. Much to my disappointment no one had it. One sign shop an hour away had it, but wanted $30 for a 12 inch x 12 inch piece of it. Who knows, maybe it was real carbon fiber but I said "screw that" and just ordered a 12 inch by 48 inch piece off ebay for 9.99 including shipping. In the meantime I went to a sign shop close to where I work and bought a small piece of vinyl just to practice on. Gray and sparkly was as close to carbon fiber as I could get and it turned out okish to use temporarily. The new vinyl however was easier to apply and looked better to boot.
Thanks again Rothnic!

Hi All,
I received both the CaseCrown Bold Standby Case & CaseCrown NetBook Case this week as was pretty impressed by both so I figured it was worth it's own thread. I'm also posting a bunch of pictures here in the OP so people can see what they look like in use.
CaseCrown Bold Standby Case
Amazon Link
The Bold is pretty much everything you would expect. The case is relatively rigid and the Transformer fits in it perfectly. Very clean, tight and professional. The tablet definitely feels protected. Although, obviously, like any case of this type you don't want to drop it as there is no real shock absorption.
The tablet slides in the bottom and then you tuck the flap in. The flap has a velcro connection on the inside so that it will not slip. There is no way this tablet would come out of the case accidentally except for intentional abuse.
The magnetic closure is good. You could argue that it "could" be a stronger magnet except I think it is perfectly fine. It will not come open accidentally under normal use.
The material is good although I'm not sure whether it is real leather or not. Doesn't really matter because I think it looks fine either way. Material looks professional. The only annoyance is that the shipper shipped my unit in just a bubble mailer so there are a couple "dents" on the front (see last pic). Hopefully these will go back to normal after some time.
The case basically has 4 orientations total: closed, book (cover folded flat back), vertical landscape and horizontal landscape (keyboard position). This isn't quite the level of "adjustability" you get with the multi-angle cases but I thought that was fine. Even when I was holding my tablet by itself, these were the main angles I used anyway. The main gap in the design is a lack of a 45 degree angle but I didn't need it and knew that when I purchased this. I also love that you can fold the cover flat back like a book for reading.
There are holes for all ports including the front and back camera as well as the light sensor and microSD. No issues here. The back camera hole doesn't appear to block the camera lens like some other cases I've seen. I actually would have preferred if the microSD was covered so that I couldn't accidentally eject it but I know most people prefer this to be open.
Overall, an excellent case. I highly recommend it.

CaseCrown NetBook Case
Amazon Link
The NetBook Case is currently only $7 shipped and fulfilled by Amazon. Fortunately I still have my Prime membership so buying this was pretty much a no brainer. This case works EXCELLENTLY as your only case. It fits the tablet by itself to a T. It feels snug and protected in this case. The only downside is that the straps are made for a netbook so it isn't totally secure if you are holding the tablet in it with the case open. It works "okay" like this if you are just watching media though (I did it the other day). I don't have a dock but I'm pretty sure a dock will fit. There is a bit more room and this case is made for a netbook afterall.
The material on this case is very good and I really like the padding. It looks pretty professional although due to the size it could easily be mistaken for a "man bag".
The Transformer does fit in this case while it is ALSO in the Bold. However, it is a pretty tight fit and I worry that the edges of the Bold will curl from how tight it is. Due to this, I am strongly considering returning the NetBook case now that I have the Bold.
Overall, this is a great "everyday" carrying case. Only issues are that you could NOT fit the charger in there (I bought it knowing that and only use this for single day trips) and it will not properly accommodate the tablet if you have a case on it.
Nice - thanks for the long review.
I think I will wait for the TechTree review before I decide.
Goddam, why there is no Clip-in system cases yet? I'll never buy a case with such a bezel !
thanks bro for sharing i went and bought on since i cant find one in the wild... protecting my baby Transformer ..cant wait for it
I received my CaseCrown case yesterday. I am really impressed with the quality. It looks and feels very professional.
Some of the cases I have seen on ebay had uneven stitching. Maybe they were sown by hand. Here are a few shots I took to give you guys a closer look.
Let me know if you have any questions about the case. I have gotten so much from these forums; I want to give a little back.
Got mine last night. IN the "up to watch" mode its quite stable. IN the typing mode its a bit floppy and the bottom can come loose if you move it around a bit but given the cost it gets me what I want. I really just wanted the up to watch mode.
Excellent pics, really shows how good the case is with the flap folded all the way back, can't see any over hang. Looks less bulky but solid. Can't wait until they send mine but I am in Canada and we just had a postal strike.
How's the additional weight does this case add on?

Yeah I would have loved something like the Otterbox that didn't cover as much of the bezel. Not too much of an issue though.

Hey my pic of it laying down is a little cut off. There IS overhang. About 1.3 cm.
It does add noticeable weight. Fortunately I have been holding it less now that I have the case.

I don't think the rooCASE is out yet. rooCASE is known for good quality too though. It probably will boil down to preference over whether you want the single angle style or the multi angle style.

I don't have the CaseCrown but i do have the rooCase multiangle. Fit is fine, cutouts line up. The 5 or 6 extra dollars that the rooCase costs buys you the multiangle feature plus real leather. The downside is it probably weighs more than the CaseCrown.

Hi,
I just got a gel case and set of 3 screen protectors off of Ebay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/17068638073...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_4357wt_1037
http://www.ebay.com/itm/18072112098...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_4900wt_1037
I'm not associated with the seller, but thought that if anyone was interested:
- The gel case (I got the white one) fits pretty well. Snug, and all the holes in the right places (the power and volume+/- buttons are covered, but slightly raised).
- The protectors were actually not bad. I always hate putting these things on (bubbles, dust), but these were pretty heavy gauge plastic or whatever, so not bad for 3-4 USD (incl shipping).
- Shipping to East Coast U.S. took about 2 weeks (seller shipped next day, but then...).
Just an FYI.
My daughter, who also has an SGP5, bought locally, and paid almost $50 for case and protector (with "lifetime warranty"). She's still telling me she likes hers better, but for less than $10, I like mine ...
Jim
I bought from this seller too !
quality of case & Film is great
but have a little problem about I order black one but sent me red one.
& I e-mail to seller to tell about this problem
he so kind. I deal with him with refund 10% from price. it's not much but I like his responsibility.

I bought this gel case and these styluses,
http://www.ebay.com/itm/180721123550?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
http://www.ebay.com/itm/180658846208?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
This case has two additional cut out area, one for the upper left corner and one to the left of the usb port on the bottom. All cutouts work and the buttons are covered, but the area is raised so its easy to access them.
I originally bought a $10 dollar stylus and these ones are much cheaper. They aren't made of a metal body but they do the job if anyone needs styluses for their device.

White New Soft TPU Gel Case Cover Skin
Thanks to those who recommended this skin cover for the Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 from seller "thomaszoe1314" on ebay.
White New Soft TPU Gel Case Cover Skin For Samsung Galaxy S WiFi 5.0 G70 YP-G70 (180721120989)
I paid $4.88 with free shipping from HongKong! I ordered the white one on 12/15 and was delivered just two weeks later by USPS even with the holiday rush.
It fits perfectly snug and was just right in terms of tightness for installation without forcing too hard. It has solved the problem with the SGP5.0 being hard to hold onto and also when setting it down on a hard surface without a thud.
The skin is attractive and has a couple of unnecessary holes for other versions but they dont do any harm.
Along each edge where where you pick it up, there are nice treads to improve the grip even further.
When sliding SGP5.0 into my shirt pocket the plastic doesn't "stick" to the fabric and make it hard to get into my pocket.
The plastic doesn't stink like some cheap toy plastics and the molding details are all refined and top quality.
The buttons (power and volume) are fully functional beneath the plastic.
Very pleased, and thanks again to the previous posters here that alerted me to this bargain!

Hi,
Actually, I hadn't noticed that, but when I put the 2nd one on another SGP5, there is a piece that covers the home button area that can be popped out (which I actually did). Sorry about not mentioning that in the original post.
Jim
P.S. My SGP5s are all US versions.
Just wanna share this.

Well, i was looking for Love Mei cases reviews around the accesories forum, but it seems that no one ever talk about this case, so i'm opening this thread to show this beautoful case, and ask if any one has see it.
on the official webpage says that it cost $US88, but i have seen it in other online stores in half of the price.

Here its the demo video for the Galaxy S4 case. this is almost the same, but with slim waist
Review from the regular Powerfull Case. this is the same but with a curvey slim waist shape. all the protection are the same:
And here is the official web:
http://www.lovemeicase.com/pro.asp?id=45
Looks nice but I wonder if it will fit the wireless charge back that I have. I also notice it needs two screws so for those who change batteries often, you'll have to carry the screwdriver. Otherwise, it looks awesome. Thanks for the link!
Are you sure that this case is as resistant as the one on the video? Because I'm thinking about getting one, and I like this one more than the one on the video, but if you can't throw it on the floor and "drive a car over it", what's the point of it?. It looks great but it's really big and Note 3 is already big. So if you don't get perfect protection than there's no point of getting one..
thx for the link
if it's from ali it's probably a fake.

Hi, yes, its the same technology, but with another shape. here its the video of the small waist, but for the iPhone 5:
do, im not sure if it can resist a car, or the motorcycle like on this video, but its a rugged case and it will protect your $700 bucks inversion.
hope it doesn't hurt reception and gps like the original love mei case does. I bought the regular one and while it's badass and crazy protection, I can't use it due to reception getting knocked down.

I thought about getting one for the summer... because i think it's to massive to carry it all the time. Please write a small review ( just if all of the signals work, and are you ok with the case) if you order it.

I am using it right now to type this. I have been using the regular model for about two months now and the gps is the only issue I have. I just got the slim waist model from a friend today. She said that it killed her signal at her house, but she lives in the woods and only gets 2 bars at best. I live in town and I'm fluctuating between 3-4 bars all the time. I have not tried the GPS since I put the new case on. I'll upload a few pictures in just a second for those interested. I like the case a lot.
I am a police officer and I keep it in the front pocket of my outer vest. It gets rained on regularly and I just wipe the water off the screen and keep going. The silicone on the back makes it grip your dash perfect without sticking in your pocket.
I got my first off Amazon and the case I'm using now came from eBay. Both were shipped from China and it took about two weeks. Both came in nice packaging and the quality of the cases is great. I'll answer any questions you can come up with. I just discovered the thread.

Love Mei Note 3 Case
Well I can say for sure that this case is a TANK as far as protection goes. Now, I did contact someone from the company to make sure that the problems with the previous version of the case was fixed and he said yes. So I bought one, Black on Black.The new waist design is cool, but some of the reported problems STILL exist. NO 4G LTE inside a building or residence. I had to remove the mesh behind the ear speaker in order to hear anyone. The bottom speakers work very well. The screen most definitely is not SMUDGE or FINGER PRINT proof. I know that no screen actually is, but this screen is freak-en bad. So DO NOT GET ONE IF ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS BOTHER YOU. Especially you OCD clean screen freaks. The aluminum is just as bad with finger prints, sorry. The rubber on the back and sides is a DUST MAGNET. The phone is very heavy, but with all that said, I am very happy with buying it. I bought it through EBAY for $30.00, and it did ship very quickly from China. I wanted a heavy duty case to protect my $700.00 investment and I found it. I am a law enforcement officer and a gym rat, so this case will go through hell and back. The issues I mentioned do not bother me, but may bother some, so I hope I answered all questions.
Respectfully,
Rick Davila :fingers-crossed:
Be nice to see some pictures or a video of the new slim waist version please, nothing to be found as of yet anywhere online, aside from the official website.....
anyone who wants a yellow one, I'll sell ya mine for what I paid for it ($30). I'll pay the postage.
it is a tank and will protect like no other, but can't stand how heavy it makes it and the gps reception and cell signal is unacceptable.
I ended up buying a Kraken case for the days I need real protection and on the normal days I run the Aegis.
