Hey All,
I purchased a nice carrying case for my GTablet. I made a video review of the case. Check it out:

Its made by SOLO and I got it at staples for $20. Pretty neat!

Good find! (And better than the stinky Sears case, which still reeks after a week...) Going to have to brave Staples(mall) tomorrow and see if I can nab one... beats waiting for Amazon to ship me a Kindle DX case which may or may not fit nicels...
Pretty decent video, although I will admit to only watching about half of it... just wanted to see the basics...
I found a nice one in the travel store at the mall for only like $10. I think it was sold as a case for 10-11 inch netbooks. The brand was room.it.up
This is for anybody who might like something more fun and, admittedly, girly. But I know some here get the tablets for their wife, gf, daughter, etc.
The leather case you showed is very professional looking, and at $20 I think is a great price for that style.

Yikes! Their website says $32 now... not such a great deal any longer I'm afraid...
I'll have to check it out in a store and see if it's still $20 in store or if you just stumbled across a pre-Christmas sale that just ended maybe...
I too had this case when i first got my tab along with several others... I loved it first but after a couple of days you will start to notice it will loosen up and may not be as tight. Hopefully yours works out, keep the receipt handy just in case.

Ditto on this, I bought it and it was great for a couple days till the elastic that holds the tab in losens up.
other minor issues with it. if you use the elastic in all 4 corners, the band on the top left will often depress the power button. Gave me a drained battery surprise one time.
The elastic in the bottom left will often cover the headphone jack, so it's a nuisance to move it to plug in headphones.
and after a while the elastic in the right corners loosens, and that makes the tablet often flop out of the top corner and fall over.
Still it's s decent and readily-available case solution until better is available
Good find and thanks for posting a video on it.
Don't want to hijack, but found a decent Budget Case - Picked up a Case Logic case on sale in my local Office Depot for $5. It is a simple sleeve case, but seems to be well made. Cordura type nylon with some leather accents. Very well padded. Plan to find a notebook style case for daily use, but this one will be good for transport.
Can't find it on their site, so not sure if it on sale everywhere. Also can't post links yet, but if you google 'Case Logic VLS110 7-10" Mini Laptop Sleeve' you'll find pics.
some wholesalers at work use ipads w/ a case that doubles as a stand.. looks very clean and sturdy.. anyone see one of these somewhere for the g-tablet? saw another thread where they were trying to do a group buy for something similar but the pictures made it look a little cheap.. thoughts?

I got a case at Staples. $24.00 SOLO Style LVL106-3 H10 MFG #S25. Works great and able to use when charging device.
I got this case at office depot for $5. Super nice padding.

Hey guys, just wanted to post my video review of this case. It really is a great case an I have been using it with my TP whenever I don't have it docked. I am looking forward to the release of their Portfolio case, which is essentially the same as this one except it holds the keyboard dock as well.
I included a coupon code for Amazon, it should make this case about $10. Enjoy!
Coupon: TF201PRO

Thanks bud.. Just ordered, code worked for me!
I also really like the Poetic Case. Doesn't add a lot of bulk, yet provides good protection. I like that it does not cover the bezel, unlike other leather cases such as the Caseen. My only critique is that the grooves in which the Prime rests in at 3 angled positions could be a bit deeper, as sometimes the Prime will slip out of the groove, particularly the first narrower angle groove. Other than that, great case for the price!
May I have the a coupon code? Want to order one for my Prime. Many thanks.

Ooops
I added it to the OP now. I was in the description on Youtube...
Great case. I bought it for utility as a stand/cover but I dropped it on the pavement one day trying to carry too many groceries.
Not a scratch.
Thanks for the review and the coupon. I have one coming my way for $9.95!
I bought mine last night. Its my first case for my prime. I'm still saving for my dock. It was eligible for amazon prime so It will be in today hopefully. Your code didn't work for me though. Still looked like a great case from your video.
Thanks

I recently purchased one for my Prime and really love it. For the price, it is hard to beat.
Anyone have a quick fix for how to get it to sit in the slots more stable? They aren't deep enough to hold the prime in place sometimes.
Are there no holes for the speaker?

Mine has holes for the speaker.
I actually had to go look, but you are correct, there are no holes for the speaker...
Kind of a bummer, heh I didn't even notice though.
It's plenty loud without the holes.. I was just watching a TV show and my wife told me to turn it down.
Great case, especially with the coupon code.. Very happy with it.
I wonder why mine has holes and yours does not? That is strange.

Mine does not have holes either.
You got the case with the white stitching (as opposed to black stitching) around the outside edges, right? I know they sold 2-3 versions of the case that are very similar to each other, but not the exact same.
My case has black stitching, or very dark, if you will.
For the money, this really is a good case. I've been very happy with it so far. I only bought till better cases came out ,but now I like it so much I haven't even bothered to look for something different.
anybody use one of these. im gonna buy one and was wondering if there were people using one if they like it. i bought one of the cheap ebay cases for 2 bucks shipped and now it sticks to everything like the outer wore off. but wuts 2 bucks it was worth a shot lol. some feedback would be great. thanks

I have this case in the white version, so I can only comment on that. It is a nice case for the money, the plastic covering the volume and power keys were really tough but I fixed that by cutting along the sides of them with a razor. It has two different finishes on it (I don't know why they didn't just pick one) and the extra grip on the sides is very helpful. The only thing I don't like about it is that the white version started to turn a little blue because I kept it in my pocket, but that probably won't happen to yours. Other than that its not the worst case I have owned . Hope this helped.
thanks. ya im thinking the black one. i just cant spend 20-30 bucks on a case. yes there nice for the money but i cant lol. also was looking at these cases

search ebay for "galaxy s2 tpu", add criteria "buy it now" and location "us only".
i see a bunch around $2.00 shipped.
I just received this case and I love it. I have tried so many cases, SGP Hybrid, Otter etc. I really like this CIMO case. I would strongly suggest giving this one a try!

Really? Because I really hate mine. It's too bulky imo.
Get a soft, clear analog off ebay. Surprisingly, button covers were soft enough not to trouble me to cut them out, else the case is great for 3$.
i ended up getting the one i posted first. i really like the case alot. feels nice in my hand and is think but still provides some protection. fits very tight on the phone and isnt all flimsy. i like it and it was worth 8 bucks to me. also unlike my forst ebay case i got that thing wore down and it stuck to everything you could imagine. this case seems like it wont have that problem at all which is nice. i like this case and would recommend it to others for the price

so any suggestions ?

This is what I have been using since I got my prime months ago, lot of space for stuff, fits even with a case on(roocase leather folio case) still feels and looks brand-new. I got mine for 10$

does the prime not flap around inside ?
Hmm not really, it does slightly when it is the only thing in there but for the most part it's a pretty tight fit but the material can stretch to accommodate more items
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
I got one i bought from Blacks, no link but its just the right size. Generally, look for cases for netbooks. Most netbooks are about the same size as the prime. Also check cell phone stores, smaller electronics shops, more of the less mainstream areas. Theres a kiosk in my mall buy sells only tablet stuff. Check out places like this, and ebay. you can find lots of good deals on ebay just make sure "buyer beware", know what your buying
Happy hunting!

Since you are looking for a sleeve, Thinkgeek offers this one which should fit the Prime as well based on the size of the sleeve:

Soooo they make them now for our tabs. I'd really like one but I'm waiting for amazon to have them a little cheaper than the otterbox website. I've always kept an otterbox defender on my phones so I'd really like one for my tablet too. Size doesn't matter to me. (I have a nice targus case now)

This looks great. I wonder how heavy this is. I have Otterbox case for my phone and it almost doubles the weight.

+1 way to much for a case. I ended up ordering the Moko rotating case for 20 bucks from amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0083OYRD6/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01 it should be here wednesday.
$170 tablet? I paid $270 for mine the day it came out at best buy here. I was the first to get one around here and even though I paid more than some I had mine before everyone else! lol
Be glad when its cheaper or at least at the local bestbuy. I'd be tempted to buy it if it was right in front of me in person.
I don't mind paying good money for a good case. They have the best warranty. I've broken them (belt clips) and they've always sent me replacements.
Thanks for the opinions.

Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Yes they'll replace it for free. Any part, even send a whole new case if needed. They're great about it.
I've had a defender on five phones. Each time I've sold it with it and I always buy one when I get a new phone. Wouldn't run without it!
I have yet to get one for my tablet. I'm glad I didn't because I'm trying to sell my tab now so I can get an n7.

I've had Otterbox cases on all of my Android devices. Since I use my tablet at work (tech coordinator, teacher, and coach at a middle school), I have to have the protection. The Defender case for the 7 inch Galaxy Tab 2 is one of the better designed Otterbox cases I've used recently. It isn't as bulky as some I've had, it's not really too heavy, and it feels and looks like a high end case. Even though my Tab is a Best Buy refurb unit, I'm glad I ordered this case. Amazon has them a little less expensive than others now.

I have the galaxy tab 2 7.0 with the otterbox defender. I went to walmart and purchased it for 199.00 I also pick up a wireless usb keyboard and touchpad combo made by logitech for 29.99. Then go to ebay and get the charging port extender and you have the perfect combo all for under 300.00 I did get lucky though and found the otterbox defender brand new from someone on craigslist for 50.00. You cant go wrong with this setup.
I've had the Defender for about a week and I love it on my tab 7. I was using the RooCase before but decided I'm not a huge fan of book cover/leather cases
I have it on my gtab2 10.1 and it rocks!

yessir this has a very nice cutout for the IR blaster.
I've had this tab/case for about 3 weeks now and I've dropped it a bunch of times. -_- don't tell samsung or otterbox, but the day we bought this tablet for work, we dropped it from our roof and it was as if nothing happened at all lol. you can't even distinguish the point of impact on the otterbox.

Thanks, I bought the case, and so far I like it. Not too crazy about the screen protector, but it's better than nothing. I don't like big cases for my phones, but the tab works, even like the stand.
Some people might have paid over 200 for their tab, but Imo 70 for a case to protect a device that can be replaced with a brand new one under warranty now for 170 (and price will Continue dropping over time) is crazy.
