"Smart Cover" style cases? - Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories

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.

I ordered from tmall.com through a chinese freind, just enter P6800 in search field, but I am not sure they will ship outside china?

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
chinese webiste
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.

looks good

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.

Thanks

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.

Nothing from Zenus or SGP yet?

UK based case for £8.99
I just received this case i bought from ebay for the bargain price of £8.99 in the UK and delivered from the UK too.
Very pleased with it! I've tried the official case but this is much better. It even has magnets on the flap to stop it flapping open when carrying.

That's basically exactly the same as the one I posted above except my link is cheaper and located in the UK (minus the screen protector but they are pence anyway)
The one I ordered also has better protection at the bottom

Case from eBay
I snagged this one as it closely resembles the one I really like for my GTab 7+. Will post up pictures when I get it.

Silicone Case Suggestion?

I have one right now... but it's a cheap one from Ebay. When I first bought it, it fit real nice and tight but now over a month or two it's getting loose and slides around a bit.
Anyone have any suggestions? I'm looking for the following:
1. It doesn't expose the metal part of the camera on the back cover.
2. Fits snug on the phone indefinitely (is this possible?).
... and if possible one that isn't really sticky.
Thanks!
Silicon case!
I was bought one silicon case on HTC STORE http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=176956 and is great. Cost 20$.
hi, i have a clear one of these, think i would buy the grey next time. its also a cheap ebay item. its very snug, not as flexible (which makes removal a bit of an effort) and nowhere near as sticky as some silicon cases.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Soft-Silicone...h=item110357833639&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14.l1262
hope this helps
Yeah i bought one of those that bl1nky recommended. The only thing i can say is that the fit around the bezel edge is not as good as other 'softer' silicon covers.
In my case particularly, the right hand edge is badly formed and seems to pull away from the HD bezel.
In addition i find that locating and using the power switch to be troublesome and it's this that i find most annoying.
My personal quest for the perfect case continues....
Thanks for the suggestions... I'm also in the search of a perfect case. You wouldn't think it would be this hard!
I am using this from boxwave. The fit is nice and not sticky. I went with the clear one.

They look the same from what I can tell in the pictures... but you never know on Ebay it could be a cheaper knock-off of the original. I don't know because I haven't purchased the one from Ebay. I will be getting mine today or tomorrow from Boxwave and I'll take some pics of it and stuff and update here.
Is it the non-transparent one with small camera hole? (I'm in the boarding shcool where ebay is locked) If so, it's good, but rather thick, good for protection, but will make your HD thicker (around 16mm). If not, just remove this post.

Ok so I got the case and have been using it for two days now. It is pretty damn nice actually. It fits well, not too tight and not too loose either. It's not sticky like the cheap Ebay one I have so I can easily slide it in and out of my pocket. I got the smoke color. It's clear and shiny so it suits the HD well. I like being able to see the phone through the case as well.
can try this silicon case from Capdase
CW any pics mate ??
i got the silicon case from ebay and its not a tight fit.come off very easily. am now on the hunt for another case. there is a case for the iphone which is a plastic case but a rubberised finish.

[Q] help looking for a case

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?

Yeah, I heard that too about the magnets on the M1.
I am very happy with my CLIP case. In my opinion it is the only Apple quality accessory we have for the gTab at the moment. It's well worth the extra cash and I can't recommend it any better.
Thanks SJ! Exactly what I'm looking for. Appreciate the pic.

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).

and before anyone asks...
yes, those are LED indicators by the back/menu/home/search buttons.
It's a custom mod which can be seen here

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?

Nook Tablet Folio style case

Just got this case from Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005MZ35NM/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8
Amazingly the only folio I've been able to find. I have the same style case for my iPad and I must set this is the way to go. Though I can see the desire for a portrait mode . The hand strap is a great touch for that.
Sent from my MoPho using XDA App
Wow nice find.
Not sure if it's the same kind of case, but I just found

while I was looking for a case of my own. Since the Amazon one is out of stock, it seems like an alternative.

It looks great and the size is perfect - compact and slim. How does it feel in hands - solid? Does it block the mic hole at the top?

Looking at the pics, it looks like the NT would snap into it at the four corners rather than any edges. The NT's mic is a small hole at the top of the device, offset from the center. I doubt this case would block it.
[Edit]
Sorry, I should check the reply more closely before posting. I was looking at the one from Best Buy.
This is the one I picked up. It's pretty nice, a couple of different angles to stand the NT up, and it surrounds the whole thing, so it's pretty secure.
edit: I'm not allowed to post links yet, but search on amazon for crazy on digital's folio case for the Nook Color
This may seem like a dumb question, but can you stand it up in portrait mode with this case?

ordered this before I even saw your post.
Got it, hate it. No way to really fold the cover back and use it in portrait mode. Cover doesn't close flush with the nook.
Really nice quality leather.
If you case closes flush with the nook then I might be wiling to get a replacement and see if this one is defective but I don't think the magnets are strong enough/the groves to hold it in portrait prevent it from closing flush.
Just got the Speck Fitfolio in black. It fits very well and does not make it feel bulky at all. They have also extended the "vegan leather" on the back over the hard shell making it look far nicer.
Ok I purchased this case. Like the feel of it and its not too bulky. BUT, whatever chemicle they used to coat the leather absorbed into the bezel of my nooks rubber paint coating and caused a brown spotted discoloring.... I tried to clean it with alcohol and other cleaning products but its absorbed in the coating ... im pretty pissed to be honest. I just orders a skinomi woodgrain skin to cover the damage up, and plan on taking pictures and contacting the case manufactor to have them buy me a new nook! WARNING TO ALL!
I purchased this case
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005MZ35NM/..._am_us?ie=UTF8
I've had it for about 3 weeks but haven't used it due to a very
strong chemical smell. The smell transferred to my hands after unpacking the case.
I've been waiting for the smell to go away before using it but after reading posts regarding damage the Nook finish I may never use it.
At the time I purchased my Nook I also picked up a B&N case that was discounted 30%. It's much better quality, I really like clips that hold it in place. Very quick and easy to pop the Nook in and out. The B&N case was approximately $10 higher cost but I feel it's higher quality case and worth the cost difference.

They also have it bundled with a screen protector too. Three colors available black, pink & purple.

Hmm, what's the difference between TPU and silicone? Is it just floppier than TPU?
how about this one? i am using right now, very fit!

How flexible would you say this case is? I'm deciding between this one and a silicon case myself. I'd like something more flexible than a plastic hard case, but not as floppy as silicone.
morkli,
Thanks!
I've ordered the cheaper one
Don't know how long they will take to deliver, though.

dont worry about that,quality really good. cant be break easy,and feel nice when you hold it,smooth put on face.
I have the Smasung OEM case and it works beautifully....for me I think covering the screen is more important than covering the aluminium back. The first perceived issue with the OEM case "flap" is really not an issue at all as mine has never flapped open becuase of the way it is carried. In edition, it can be positioned in either landscape or portrait mode. It is a good idea to keep the rubber grip edge on the case clean so it continues to grip any surface. This device is such a beautiful design that I find the Samsung case compliments it very well.

TPU stands for Thermoplastic Polyurethane, it's a different material from silicone.
Generally firmer and has a more rigid structure.

Galaxy Tab S4 Case With or Without Magnets (NOT KEYBOARD COVER)

When I was considering buying the S3 and perusing it's forum, I encountered a thread, or threads, that talked about the pro and cons of various cases in respect to magnets contained within them, and potential trouble/interference/distortion of magnets on the screen and S-Pen. So, this is to start a similar discussion on this subject as I have ordered the S4 and will, almost certainly, want to use it with a case of some sort.
I have already ordered the TiMOVO Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 10.5" Case from Amazon https://1n.pm/WDzp1
but wish to see what others are doing/thinking.
I don't that is a bad choice. I like the similarities to my S3 cover. I have the S4 keyboard and it could have been better designed.
UAG case
I'm not really a fan of cases with the flip covers. I was hoping to get something with a kickstand on the back, but most that I found online were flip covers.
I was hoping for a rugged case to come out, but with very limited options I just went to a local gadget store and chose the Urban Armor Gear Exoskeleton 10". The top edges of the screen are slightly covered but with watching movies there's usually a black bar at the top and bottom of the screen so I don't really mind it. The Tab is kind of exposed but there really isn't much bulk when holding it. It has a small kickstand and a slot for the S-pen. It's not perfect but it's working well for me. Amazon has a cheaper price compared to the official UAG website.
I also have the grey model (off-white back) and opted for the black exoskeleton case. I am enjoying the contrast between the tablet and the case.

is what I ordered. A case without the Spen slot is worthless.

To anyone, The s pen is very easy to lose, why would you buy a case that cant hold it?
I picked up the samsung book cover from best buy today(price match amazon $54) seems pretty high quality so far. I wish UAG would make the metropolis case for this tab. That is my favorite tablet case of all time, but seem they only like apple.
I got one from Verizon, it's their brand but it's just like an otter box. No flip cover and surprising thin and nice.

thanks Scott. that's pretty reassuring, as this case would tick a lot of boxes. the S4 (esp the 256GB / 6GB / LTE version) is so damn expensive (and imported), i need to be careful
have you seen this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJ9M9LHphyo
user claims "The magnet effect happens over time, and is likely not reversible. I don't recommend using cases w magnet auto sleep."
Stay original! This is s damn expensive device, especially those of us that got the LTE version from start.
I got the Samsung Book Cover, and gonna buy the keyboard cover if there are any black friday deals out. =)
I like the Infiland case because it has a dedicated slot for the pen as well.

Yes it has! Works 100% of the time. Only minor flaw with tablet is that I often like to have the case in "low profile" and when I am using DEX mode, it wont rotate to fit "low profile".
