I am looking for a case/cover for my new galaxy tab 10.1 4G.
Is there a size difference for 4g+ wifi version and just wifi only galaxy tab?
because some sellers titled their item "it does not compatible with the 4g verizon galaxy tab 10.1"
No its the button placement that's the issue. On the Verizon tablets buttons are on the upper left when in portrait mode not the top edge. Therefore some cases may cover them.
Take a look at the pyro skin 360. Its a good case that will fit, just make sure you get the v2 model.

Is there a teardown of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 anywhere? I was looking for one, especially one that includes prices for the components.
I'm pretty sure iFixit will tear one down very soon.
TechRepublic did it! Galaxy Tab 10.1 tear down!

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately, I'd like more details about the screen. Would it be possible to buy a replacement screen for the galaxy tab 10.1, and hook it up to a computer (maybe make a vga/dvi/hdmi adaptor for the screen's connector)?
Yeah, I know they're not in the same league at all, but it's a serious decision for me. I can get either for about the same price (Galaxy Tab would be about $50 more - the international 3G version, that is), so that's not an issue.
Anyway, it boils down to the following for the GS3:
-More easily pocketable
-Better screen quality/resolution
-Awesome cases available (particularly - Otterbox Defender with built-in screen protector)
-MicroUSB port (easier to charge)
-Better camera
-No EDGE speeds (at least until the Chicago area gets the 1900Mhz roll-out)
-Has ICS now (Tab not getting it until July or August)
And the following for the Galaxy Tab:
-Bigger screen size (yes, I can still pocket it; much better for anything car-related with the car dock like navigation)
-Keyboard dock (sure, I can use the microuSB-to-USB adapter and use any USB keyboard, but the keyboard dock will be better)
-Put my bluetooth headset to better use, and make getting the Sony SmartWatch worth it (I can't warrant the purchase for anything smaller)
To most, the simple solution would be getting the GS3 and getting a tablet (3G or Wifi) along with it. But from experience, that doesn't work for me; I had both a Dell Streak 7 and a Nook Color for a few weeks at a time, and found myself going to my phone 9 out of 10 times, especially when I also have an 11-inch gaming laptop (which makes 10" tablets out of the question for me). So it's simply one or the other.
And obviously the list leaves a lot more reasons to go with the GS3, but the pros for the GS3 are "minor" to me - camera I could live without (don't take many pictures), I don't drop/damage my electronics (meaning case is kinda irrelevant), I don't do much web-related when I'm not at home (meaning EDGE is fine for my basic email and bus tracking - I don't use cloud storage or stream anything), etc.
In other words, the screen size of the Tab and the keyboard dock option are kind of a big deal to me.
Anyway, anybody have advice? And please don't just come into to post about random specs - my G2 is good for 99% of my Android use, and I don't game on it, so specs mean squat to me.
If the screen size and keyboard dock really is a big deal for you then you should get the Galaxy Tab. Although I personally prefer the Galaxy S3. I have an iPad and a Galaxy Tab 10.1 and I always end up using my S3 most of the time.

True, although you can't easily fit the 10.1 or the iPad in your pants, and you can't make GSM calls on either =P
I mean, in the end I could deal with the smaller screen size (there isn't THAT much I'd use it for that I couldn't just use my 11-inch laptop for (with better video/audio) or use GPS/navigation THAT much), but having a physical keyboard to type longer stuff would be nice.
Is there by chance a good keyboard dock/case available for the GS3, with or without the Samsung microUSB-to-USB adapter?
Hi,
I just broke the screen of my Samsung Galaxy S2 (Model GT-I9100) and found out that I have a very rare version of this phone. The battery connector is on the left side (in UK it is in the right side) so the screens I can find here will not fit.
Does anyone know where I can order a screen for this variation of the S2?.
Many thanks,
I recently received a galaxy tab 10.1 with a damaged screen. While I was disassembling it I noticed it was very similar to the tab 2 which ive worked on before. I had a screen (with bad burn in ) and digitizer from a recent tab 2 repair so I wanted to see if they would work with the older tab so I sould test it before buying parts... sure enough it worked. I was wondering if they are in fact the same parts or would long term usage cause damge? I am wondering more about the digitizer at the momoment since the one I have functions fine but I am curious about the lcd also for future reference
It appears the lcd is the same/interchangeable the digitizer is not. The glass on the original tab is slightly larger (wider from left to right) so although it functions it's not an exact fit.

Note 4 edge or the galaxy s6 edge? I really can't decide which one to get. I was wondering could you give me a little advice.
It depends on what you are after. If the curved glass is the biggest draw, I would go with the Note 4 Edge. The Note uses a separate but seamless screen for the curved edge and the Note has better curved screen functionality and curves more. The S6 edge is only slightly curved and just uses the main screen. This is a problem since there isnt any room to put apps on the GS6 edge. Also the GS6 edge screen notifications use the entire screen. This means functions like night clock light the entire screen with its backlight (like looking at a black wallpaper with the phone on). The Note 4 keeps the main screen off during edge only functions. Not to mention the Note 4 Edge still supports an sd card and removable battery and the battery life is great. The only real con of the Note 4 Edge is the plastic back and the asymetrical form.
With all that said, I have a Galaxy S6 Edge and I love it. It looks amazing and is fantastic to hold. I am not a fan of plastic at all and the metal and glass really compliment each other. I wanted the latest internal specs and this being Samsung's jump into 64 bit and built in wireless charging, I decided to upgrade from my Optimus G. Since money wasnt a big factor to me, i decided on the Edge over the regular. I decided not to get the Note 4 Edge since its too big for me and still more expensive than the GS6E. That beautiful, beautiful curved screen is the main reason I got it.
So it depends on what you value. If its visual appeal and newer hardware, get the S6 Edge. If you want a bigger phone with better removable and better battery/sd card and actually want to use the edge screen instead of just looking at it, get the Note 4 Edge. Hope that helps.
Also I think this is the wrong forum. You should post to general and not accessories.

I really liked the thought of the night clock until I saw it light up the entire screen. However the sports ticker that uses the same curved portion only lights up the text and not the whole screen. So it can be done, just I think they need to fix it or something.
I have both and like stated above it's just what you want out of the phone. The note edge is a beast and I prefer it over the s6 edge for functionality. One thing I don't like about the s6 edge is I find myself barely touching the other edge and messing up a lot of texts where I don't have that issue with the note edge. But the s6 edge is such a great looking phone and performance wise it's better. Also the camera is a beast by a little. Maybe it's because it's new but I've been using the s6 edge a little more because if the feel in hand. I am a little disappointed in the lack of the edge usage on the s6 but it makes sense because of the screen size.
Generally,both are the ultimate phone and could meet all your daily use, it depends on if you're a fan of big screen.
If you can't wait,go for galaxy s6 edge,sleek design and superb specs.. I have S6 Edge and it's worth it..
