Here is my review of the CLIP case. Just got it last night and so far I love it. Tablet fits very snug into the Clips, actually had a difficult time getting it into tabs. The stand function is great. I had been looking for the built in stand function ever since I got my tab. I got the white one since the black one was out of stock, but didn't really care about the color, although the white sort of looks like my uncles shoes down in Florida. No offense it2steve. The one tab does block the USB/sdcard slot, but I don't really use either very much so no biggie for me. The synthetic leather also had a very strong smell, but I imagine that will go away over time. Overall a very good product, will have to see how it stand up over time, and I will report back with any problems that do arise. Nice job it2steve.

Very. It pretty much filled up my office and bedroom. I'm happy to report that it's pretty much unnoticeable after 4 days unless you're, like, 3 inches away from it. So, uh, stay away if you're extremely far-sighted.
Hoping to grab a black one today...
but if someone is interested in swapping out for the white one, I would be interested in seeing it....of course if you live around DC it would be easier.
Do you have a link I can check out? I definitely need a case for my tablet. Also, did you get a plastic screen cover. If so, where did you get it?
So how long did it take you guys to get your stuff from Steve? I'm hoping to snag a Clip, but I will be on a trip from the 11th to the 15th, and I was hoping to get it for that.
CLIP just came in stock, I got a black one =D
My was delivered within 3 days of ordering. Excellent service from a delivery perspective.

Awesome, thanks.
Just placed my order for two clips, in black. Looking forward to having cases for my tab's so soon after they arrive (should get my 2 tabs tomorrow, and the cases next week!).
I really like the way it looks but i dont like that it is not leather and for $48 well? ???
Black CLIP on its way to my house as well...
I think I am all accessoried out. My wife is going to kill me when everything starts arriving. TAB coming today...then the screen protector...then the dock and charger from Steve...now the CLIP...and then the 16 GB MicroSD card.
Now if I can only get Vegan loaded without bricking the thing. :/
Grab the M1 then...cheaper price. Personally, I thought the CLIP looked easier to put on and off without covering the whole TAB. No one else I know has a TAB so I won't have any buyers remorse. I won't know what I am missing.

I have the white one and, while I may not be a leather connoisseur (hmm, that doesn't sound right http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZr8bbKxYrE ), I do know cheap when I see it, and this definitely does not look or feel cheap. I think it's mostly due to the fact that it has that leather texture and it's not that shiny, puffy, padded type faux leather that you see on a lot of cases or folios.
IMHO, it's worth the money, especially seeing how many awful (and less useful) cases are out there for as much money.
Oh, and it only took 4 days to receive, I think, and Steve seems like a very good guy and responds to emails very quickly.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend one.

It's worth it. And if for whatever reason you decide after you receive it that you really don't like it (I can't believe you would since this case is awesome) you can always sell it on eBay.

I need some help looking for a case. I would like something folio style, but all of the pictures of the M1, Px cases look like they stand very upright. I am looking for a case that will lean back to allow it to sit and use as a keyboard stand. Anyone have any ideas for me?
Thanks!

CLIP
I got a CLIP from it2steve's web store and it works as exactly as you are wanting it to. It comes with 3 grooves on one side so you can have the gTab in 3 viewing angles but if you let it all the way down as shown in the attached photo it's perfect for typing.
As a new GTablet owner I was looking for a good case as well. The Clip looks sweet but it seems to be sold out from it2steve's store.
Anyone know where I can score this sweet looking case?

I tried moving a small (1/4" diameter x 1/8" thick disk) rare earth magnet near the screen of my GTab, and didn't see any effects. Has anyone else tried any experiments? How large is the magnet in the case?
I saw a clip style case at staples that's made for the xoom- any chance it would fit our g-tabs?

No. I looked into this a few weeks ago (don't remember where I posted that) and the Xoom and gTabs are different sizes. If I remember correctly the gTab was bigger/longer than the Xoom.

As an M1 owner who's used it for a couple of weeks now, I can tell you that the magnet issue, like most things on the Internet, is blown way out of proportion. I use the tablet daily at work, have used it shopping for replacement flooring/furniture for our flooded gameroom, and sitting on the reclining sofa playing Angry Birds. I've never had a problem with the magnets reducing screen responsiveness or "freaking out". My only complaint is that over time, the GTab tends to settle further down in the case, half-hiding the camera and all but covering the ambient light sensor. If you don't plan on propping it up on a desk as often as I do, it makes a wonderful case.
M1 Case and G Tab Screen
I got an M1 case on Monday so I've had it for 3 days now. The fit, feel and look of the case are all excellent so far on mine, however, the it does mess with the screen. The longer it stays in the case the worse it gets. I have done tests in and out of the case, putting to sleep or not, rebooting or not and now have no doubt it is the case but I am not sure if its actually the magnets or not. It could just be the case itself touching the edges of the screen all day. In any case, (some pun intended) the longer it stays in the case, the harder you have to press the outside portions of the screen to get it to react. Mine eventually gets to the point where you cannot press hard enough to get the keys on the keyboard to function. When this happens I put it to sleep, pull it out of the case, wake it up and it works like new again. I will probably be investing in a black clip myself in the near future. This could just be a problem with my particular Gtab and it may not effect others at all but that is my short bit of experience with the M1 Case.
There's a few black clip cases in stock at it2steve's web store now.

For anyone who doesn't want to spend $50-$60 on a case for a $300 item, WI Global Technology has cheap alternatives. One with clips, one with elastic.
I got the one with clips. For $16 - It's OK.
All ports are accessible.
It's vinyl - NOT leather.
The covers extend about 1/16th" beyond the GTab - just enough protection (for me, anyay)
As you can see. the kickstand angle is about 75 degrees - it would probably be better if it were more like 60.
For $16 delivered, you get what you pay for (maybe a bit more... ymmv).

Hmmm been using the M1 for a few weeks now. Never noticed this magnet issue. I know magnets can mess with hard drives but never heard of it messing with an LCD. Doesn't the ipad 2 smart cover have like 70 magnets?
EDIT: Looked it up, 31 magnets.

Looks nice and under $20. Assuming this is fulfilled by Amazon like their other products, I might have to pick one up.
edit: There's a video in the reviews for the iPad version. Looks great! Tight fit and very thin.
http://www.amazon.com/CaseCrown-App...Y8CR6S3G5&s=electronics&qid=1308957186&sr=1-1
checking out shows $26.56 with tax and shipping.. can this item be fulfilled by amazon at some point? i think i still might jump on this, its still cheaper than most other cases.
Damn, I'm tempted to get this. I've been wanting a good case and I already have a carrying case by case crown. But Roocase's case seems like a better option because its multi angle.
Ill probably pull the trigger on this sometime this week. I just want the thinnest stand case possible. The multi angle is less important to me than being thin and light. Most of the others are bulky and if I wanted something an inch thick that protects the screen I could just just carry the keyboard dock.
The pics on Amazon of the CaseCrown look identical to the case (Jazz) I bought from Steve over at electroniccrap.com..
http://electroniccrap.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=34_36&products_id=51
The flap on the back and the way it tucks, along with the viewing angle and case material seem quite comparable...
I'm happy with the Jazz...fit is good and material is decent, especially given the price point....is rather difficult to type at the given angle...I think I would prefer something with multiple viewing/typing angles and a little better quality material...but again, for the price paid it is a good option...I'm betting the CaseCrown will give similar results...
Ryan...should give you the thin, light case you are looking for...that was my main need and am satisfied from that standpoint...
Is this about the thinnest and lightest we can expect from a fold over case like that?
I'm getting tired of not being able to bring my transformer out due to not having any protection. Stingray, you're making me want this case even more so I hope I'm not disappointed after I order it.
Actually now that I look at it the pictures, it seems like the jazz might even be thinner than the casecrown? It's hard to tell but maybe I'm just seeing things?
Went ahead and pulled the trigger, worth trying for 25.
Finally a case built specifically for the transformer that looks decent! Definitely looking to get this. Can anyone confirm whether or not the tablet docks correctly WITH THE CASE ON?
None of them are built with the case accommodating the dock. It would pretty much require the entire bottom to be cut out.

just thought i'd throw in my 2 cents here. i just bought 10 CaseCrown iPad2 standby cases for upper management at work and they are really nice cases. one of my friend had one and after messing with it, i liked it enough to recommend to the execs. as soon as the case came up on amazon for the TF i ordered one immediately.
i highly recommend CaseCrown.

Got an out of stock email as well, not happy
mine shipped out today, can't wait to get it!!
The dock compatibility has the downside of exposing the bottom to possible dust and impact. Only way I see a case supporting dock to be fully protective when undocked is if it had some kind of detachable bottom for when you need to actually dock, Probably would be good if it was held in by tiny pop-in buttons of sorts and with a as small a presence as possible so it doesn't cause any discomfort in holding the tablet.
Found on eBay and ordered. About $40 US. Will report back when I get it. Looks good at first blush.
Got an email stating the case is on its way. Actually, in this country so hopefully should have it in hand within days.
Arrived today. Not bad shipping from the UK I must say!
First impressions: Nice feel to what doesn't seem like top-grain cowhide but better than I honestly expected. Smooth and supple. Overall construction better than average. Little fuzzy end that you can see on the lid will be trimmed but that's the only one. Snaps are secure and hidden when closed (nice touch!). Magnetic closure on top flap not too tight but no danger of flipping open. I know the stitching "looks" light but it's really black. None of the ports are covered. Dock fits quite snug as does the tab. Both join up nicely and the case wraps well around both. Camera opening line up well.
Overall, I am quite pleased.
November Update:
After using the case for a couple months now remain very please with the durability of the case overall. Have not done anything special, just back and forth to work and back. Great deal. Very pleased.
Finally ! This is the type of case that I have been searching for. Looking forward to your review.

Same here. Now that the battery drain on my keyboard has been repaired I also wanted something like this. Did not want to shell out over $100 for the TufLuv case though.

Hmm!
I got the tuff-luv verison from amazon (used vouchers so it cost me nothing)
This one sounds better!
The tuff-luv one fits OK mostly. But the ports on the keyboard can be blocked when you open it as the keyboard is only fastened at the front so it slides back as you open the case. The back camera partly obscured as well!
This is a straight 1on1 copy from the tuff luv version, except for a few minor details.

True I think.
The Tuff-luv version has a stand on the back of the tablet case. Its fixed position, but actually works farly well for my useage. The keyboard looks better held on this version though.
On balance I think this ones is actually slightly better!
Thanks for the review and the pics ! Does it work well as a tablet only case (without the keyboard attached ?

Sure does and has the same flap to prop up the tab. Works seamlessly with both. Quite a snug/secure fit. Agree that it's a Tuf-Luv clone. I wanted the Tuf-Luv but just couldn't justify the price! Very pleased with this one.

word. just ordered one as well. nice find, kind of a leather case combined with a smart cover.
Before you start to order stuff, what if you want to just hold onto the tablet with your hand and NOT use the stand? Looks like you will have a large flopping cover to deal with which looks to be a pain in the butt. There will be times I want to use my tablet on the go and not use a stand at all...the last thing I want to deal with is the cover getting in the way. Maybe that's why they don't post any pictures of it in a NON stand way? There will be much more out there soon once the tablet picks up pace.
Eh... I had one similar on the xoom and it was fine. You fold it behind. Point is you will most always use the lap angle
Nice! I bought one and will (hopefully) get it this Friday. I just want something to add some protection. This is the only one I've seen that is shipping now. There were only 9 left so I ordered one.

Just ordered one overnight, 3.99 with Amazon prime. .
Looks nice. Once all the issues are ironed out on the prime this may be the case to get.
Reminds me of the ipad 2 cover except this looks much more professional. Definitely ordering one.
My SGSII HercuDom needs more w00t. It always needs more w00t!
Mine will be here tomorrow, i'll post pics and let you know how it is.
looks to be everything i wanted.. smart cover angles, back protection and thin.
I ordered one when it said in stock... when I went to the item just now it says in stock January 1st.... Does this mean our orders won't ship? Or does it mean they ran out after our order and we are safe? OR-Will we not get this for another week?
This is just like Waiting to get the Prime all over again.
Mine is in route.. Have the tracking number
Mine didn't ship today... my guess is that it should ship tomorrow, because it does not say on my order that it will not ship until Jan 1st.. we shall see

As nice as this case is I'm a little skeptical about its practicality. For one the wallet/case appears to add a lot of extra bulk to the phone, kinda making it to big to put in your pocket.
Second, it is a case-wallet. Would you be using it as a wallet as well? If you are keep in mind that if you ever lost your phone you would be losing your money, credit cards, ID's, etc along with it. Basically you would be getting screwed in 2 ways if your phone happened to get lost or stolen.
Third, unless you have a Bluetooth headset it seems a little too cumbersome to have a call on. The flap seems like it will get in the way unless you fold it back.
Lastly, the price. $60 for a case is just a lot of dough. I'm not one to cheap out on a case but for this to work for me I would not only need the case but a full body kit such as Zagg, Bodyguardz, Phantomskinz, etc to go along with it.
Don't get me wrong its a beautiful and classy looking case, just not sure if its for me.
I like these cases a lot. I think they may appeal to many people. I have always wanted a case that incorporates a wallet. However, my ideal case would be a big rugged Trident, Ballisitc or Otterbox that allows you to slide in a few credit cards.
I should add that I like the look of the cases. I haven't actually seen them in person.

As nice as this case is I'm a little skeptical about its practicality. For one the wallet/case appears to add a lot of extra bulk to the phone, kinda making it to big to put in your pocket.
Second, it is a case-wallet. Would you be using it as a wallet as well? If you are keep in mind that if you ever lost your phone you would be losing your money, credit cards, ID's, etc along with it. Basically you would be getting screwed in 2 ways if your phone happened to get lost or stolen.
Third, unless you have a Bluetooth headset it seems a little too cumbersome to have a call on. The flap seems like it will get in the way unless you fold it back.

I agree with pretty much everything you said here. That being said....
I currently use a Credit Card Case for my IPhone 4S and have carried my License, Credit Card, and Debit Card with my phone for the last 8 months. I absolutely love being able to not have to carry around a separate wallet. I haven't lost my phone as of yet, so no worries about losing my credit cards...but I understand how that might be a concern for some. It just simply cuts down on the number of things I have to scramble around the house to find before I can go out. My checklist currently is (Keys, Phone, and unfortunately...cigarettes). Now...would I prefer to have it in a non-flip case format (like what I'm using now)? Sure would. But until someone comes out with one for the Note, this will have to do.
On that note (no pun intended), case manufacturers need to pay attention here. I suppose when a phone is as insanely popular as the Iphone's are, it makes sense to make a wide variety of cases. Android phones don't seem to get the same kind of love. I would buy immediately a thin case that allowed me to slide a couple of cards on the back of the case..but alas...no credit card case android love.
Will this hold the i717 tightly? My flip cover for the N7000 does not fit on my i717.

I asked a seller on eBay about this and he assured me that it would fit. I get the case today, so I'll let you know once i test a phone
No phone yet, but this case came in today!
wow! it looks a lot lighter than i expected. Still nice though ^^
How well does money fit in there? I pre-ordered one from ebay as well, and I'm just waiting for it to come in.
I've been using an iPhone wallet for months now and love it. I can't go back to using a standard wallet. I already got my hands on the Anymode wallet case with a swivel stand, but I'm not happy with the little bulk the swivel button adds in the center.
Since I'm a noob I can't post a link yet, but its one of the two tone wallet cases on ebay that have the picture window for the a drivers license. I also find that the swivel piece moves a bit too freely.

Nice looking case man! Did you order it from somewhere other than Zenus? They are out of stock.

Money fits fine. Folded in half of course... But would expect to be able to fit at least ten bills. I don't use cash, but it's nice to have that little pocket to add receipts to and stuff.

Sorry to hear that!!!! When I ordered it said more than 10 left....Guess they had a rush on them.
My Advantage came with a case like this. Even though it offered great protection and the ability to stand the phone up, I found it to be too cumbersome so it never saw the light of day. I got a belt case instead.
I can see why you bought it, impressive...kinda retro-classic...but still tasteful; not overdone. Right out of a Gibson novel. A unique case for a unique device.
Interested how this eye candy will translate into practical daily use. Feel free to update.
No worries on the magnet. The notes amoled should be okay with the magnet, just don't rest it on your laptop at home or worse get near a plasma tv!
