I was wondering for anyone that have the black version of this case, does the flaps have magnets in them? It's listed for the other colors but not for the black. I found this kind of strange so I emailed them and it seems like they take forever to respond. So if anyone have this case, could you please comment? Thank you.
P.S. I'll also take recommendations for similar cases.

I don;t have this case, but many similar cases have magnetic closures. Why do you care?
A colleague of mine has the iPad version of this case, it's not bad for $10. I just ordered the Tab 2 7" version - I'll post my thoughts once received...

This has to be the dumbest question ever "Why do you care?". The guy is obviously asking so that he can make a smart purchase than going in blind and come to find out its not what he wanted and then having to return the item back. If you don't have any helpful advise to give why even comment? The nerve of some people!

The case for my GTab 2 7" arrived yesterday. I'm used to rockin the tab "naked" but I'm liking the case. Nice and thin, magnets keep it closed nicely, all ports/buttons are available (including IR). Two little things... 1) It has a little loop for a pen or stylus which is annoying, I'll cut it off, and 2) the case doesn't lie perfectly flat against the tab in the area of the Samsung logo on the font of the tab, directly underneath the home/back buttons. A little annoying because when attempting to hit one of the buttons you first contact the case which is sticking up a bit.

Im a jerk? Come on man, think about your answer. If anything you came off being rude. You cant assume that all of these case with flaps have magnets as i have seen some with velcro and why tell the dude why does he care when he's asking for a reason. SMDH....
It took them days to reply but they finally gave me an answer. They say that it doesnt come with magnets so i bought a similar one but there's no cutout for the charging port(but in their pictures it did). Oh well and thank you for all the responses, much appreciated.
P.S. I care if they have magnets or not because it's more secure when my tablet drops than having the front part flap around on it's way down.

I took a picture of it for you not sure if that helps. The white you see by my finger is the paper i push into that spot. I believe it's the little flaps your talking about.
Just to add, or help someone else, I have this case. I like it for the price, and it leaves the face open.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Slim-...es_Covers_Keyboard_Folios&hash=item2a25d206a5
It leaves all the ports and camera unobstructed. It's good for watching, but it is not "locked" into position, so tapping too hard on the screen will cause it to collapse flat. Only drawback.

I ordered this case a while back, and I absolutely love it.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Clear-Hard-Skin...wItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item45eeeac5fa
The one I ordered was a little cheaper, and didn't include the lcd protection, but the case is the same. Anyway, I think I paid around 8 bucks or so. I did have the body glove case, drilled a hole for the proximity sensor, but after a while, the case started to catch on the clear plastic sticker on the back of the lcd screen. It also started to catch on the side stickers beside the keyboard. This new case fits extremely well, and has yet to catch on anything. The only grip I have is that it is a little slick, but not enough to deter me. Just thought I'd share.

I ordered this one for my tilt 2, you have to slide the keyboard out in order to get the top and bottom piece on. It takes a while, but once I got it on, it stayed.

This thread is for the Tilt 2 Rubber cases only!
My Boxwave Praetorian Crystal Slip for the Tilt 2 review.
The first picture shows the gap you will get with the top piece on or off!
In the last picture. There is a little piece towards the right of the screw, that the top part of the case won't fit over.
If you let anybody check out your phone with this case on it will come right off.
Nice pics...
I'm glad you took a pic of just the bottom piece. I've actually thought about just buying the bottom piece since that's all I'm concerned about...it seems way too thick. I know I wouldn't like it on my phone and would end up just tossing it.
I'm really looking for one of those silicone back covers that they have for the iPhone...
Thanks again,

The bottom part of the case is good and fits really nice, but for $20? If it came in black maybe, I said maybe!
Right now I using my old Tilt case after I had the velcro replaced and with the bottom part on, it's way to tight.

WOW! Thanks for posting your opinion and the pics. I was about to order one of these. I totally agree that the bottom piece is too thick and that's a HUGE gap it creates between the top and the base. That seems like it'll wear the springs out. Sucks that there just doesn't seem to be a good rubber case for the Tilt 2. I'm really hoping Seidio will make an Innocase Surface for the Tilt 2. They already make them for the Sprint and Verizon version of the TP2. I've read where people have been told they're going to make one and others where they've said they will not. I'm just saying I'll believe it when I see it.
Kinda lame Seidio...

We understand your efforts of trying to merge all into one thread and all, but honestly, I would prefer 4 Separate threads. If i have the ATT tilt 2 (which I do), I would not want to read OVER 30 PAGES of freakin' reviews and such JUST for my one model. We understand your good Samaritan acts here, but seriously, people don't have the patience or time for that -- UNLESS, every 5 pages, you would like to do the honors of summarizing which cases work for every model since you want to dump it into a "come-one-come-all" thread. I don't know about you, but your thread is too long for the newcomers who are looking up a good case for their model. Besides, it doesn't hurt to have more threads in this section because its pretty slow paced.
Sorry, was kind of getting tired of you rejecting every thread that pops up about this.
Oh, and many of the posts in that thread are close to useless and does not help at all. So basically ---> your life is wasted reading that long of a thread. Make a new one at least please.

I was searching around and could not find a gel/TPU type clear case for the G1...for those of you who do not know...here is one example of a Nexus One case like what I would want:
http://cgi.ebay.com/2-Soft-Case-TPU...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item746a91e417
I know they do not show a completely clear one, but that is the material/type of case I would like. It is not like a typical silicone case -it is slightly like a hard case being that it does not bend as easily and it is not floppy at all.
Any ideas?
Heres the problem that I see...
How would you open the keyboard with that cover overlapping the front of the phone? That would probably be the reason those style covers don't exist for the G1.
As my fellow Oregonian said.. Soft cases and a slide keyboard won't really work.. If you look at the hard shells you'll see how the screen has it's own little part that clips on.. soft shells wrap instead of clip on...
I fail to see why they could not have a separate piece to put on the screen...?
If there is no such case... then could someone recommend a thin, yet tough, hard case? (preferably clear)
soft cases can't clip onto the screen part that has to slide up...
but here's something i found with decent reviews for the other colors.. clear hasn't been rated yet

Yeah I understand what you mean and thanks for that info...but - I was thinking not of a soft case 'clipping' onto the screen but you could slip a cover over it or around it -I am SURE there is some way to do it....

yea that case is rocking . I as well was looking for something like this! Thanks!! hey erebusting did you order it? did ya like it?
I ordered the clear one, and it came in yellowish like it was old or like someone was smoking around it or something.... the seller gave me a refund because he said they had no more, but I think that all the clear ones were just as yellow ? who knows....
also when you hold the phone in portrait mode on the top right and left corners of the keyboard section the case left a small gap on each side maybe about 1-2 millimeters as if it was slipping off...
Other than all that I liked it, but would not use it because it makes my phone look yellow / ugly... if I had a case like that with these flaws fixed then I would use it.

LMAO...Reading this was funny for some reason
Can you post some pictures? And would you recommend it? I am looking for a new case for my phone, and this one is one that I am considering
I had this case. I had a screen protector on, and the extra height of the screen protector made the screen portion of the case slip off. If you don't use a screen protector, it might work for you. I bought a Seidio case and never looked back. Super thin, rugged plastic. Comes in black so it blends into the phone.

zinite, I understand that, but see I do also have a screen protector on but the section of the case which goes on the screen is fitting fine, the section for the body is the part I have the complaint about. I will definately check out some Seidio cases now that you have mentioned that.
SolemnWishing, Here are some pictures of the case next to a clear hard case (which is actually clear and not yellow...)
Ace42, glad you got a laugh! haha...BTW I am wondering why you were laughing though, kind of odd to me ATM...
WOW! that case is really yellow. i was thinking about getting one thinking it wont be that yellow. but that is definitely gross smoker yellow
Dang... it looks like someone left that out in the sun for like a year or something..
Guess you know what happens to these cases when you have em for awhile... I've long given up on G1 cases: with a simple screen protector you should be on your way. I love the feel of the back of the G1, and a case would only screw that up.

I also love the feelings of the G1 without a case, but I have dropped my previous phones too many times to take that chance... haha
Any ways... Those pictures are from the same day of receiving that case, so it must be some fault on the seller....
its really a disappointment since there are no other cases (that I can find that is) like that for the G1...
any other recommendations/ideas?
First off, quick description of the case. It's a TPU (I think!) and hard case hybrid. Surrounding the phone is the TPU portion, which is sort of a sort of hard rubber which snaps over the phone securely, and the back is a hard plastic. I picked Black, so the TPU portion is black, the back hard plastic portion is clear.
I purchased the Boxwave to replace the Speck case I got at AT&T when I got my Note, and while the Speck case fit well and all of the buttons and holes lined up great, I didn't like how slick it is and how quickly was looking really scuffed up, plus it's IMPOSSIBLE to remove from the phone. So I decided to replace it and this BoxWave case like what I was wanting to have.
Now, back to the BoxWave case. The BoxWaves two microphone holes barely line up, the hole for both mics is large enough, but the microphone itself is right at the very edge of the hole. If the case slipped in the other direction I'm afraid it'd obscure the microphone. The top one as-is right now is obscured a little bit, the bottom isn't but not by much. The other annoyance is that the power button doesn't appear to be aligned correctly with the phone, as it's kind of mushy and hard to push, like it's hitting it from the side. The volume buttons seem okay, and the case is on right, even took it off and put it back on to make sure it was on right, it didn't improve.
I've also noticed that plugging in the charger is mushy, and turns out the case obscures the microUSB a bit too. Not enough to make it difficult to plug in, unplug on its own, or even need any "adjustment" to plug it in, but it's definitely in the way a bit.
The kickstand is pretty flimsy as well, time will tell how long it will last, as it's just two little nubs on the stand pushing against receptacles on the case, I can see if the phone got pushed against the stand it'd pop right out, but I mostly worry that it'll open etc while it's in my pocket. And the hinge sticks out of the back of the case, my wife has a SGS2 with a similar case by someone else and the back is flat on her phone.
It's much easier to get on/off the phone, and I like that the sides are textured. But otherwise not that great a case.
Pros
Really nice textured grip on side
Fits phone securely but not overly difficult to get in/out
Cons
Power button alignment is BAD, difficult to turn on
Both microphone holes aren't aligned well, mic hole is well to the edge of the case hole
Stand looks very flimsy
MicroUSB hole alignment is bad
Recommendation: Pass on this one, unless the alignment on the buttons and holes improves.
I bought this case for myself and my wife neither I if us has experienced any if the problems you mentioned with the holes being out of alignment. The kick had never opened in my pocket, and supports the phone well. The only complaint I have is the hinge sticking out of the back of the case, but that is a trade off for the super slim form factor. All in all, a terrific case for the price.

How about the power button, do you have to mash it a bit to make it work with the case on? My volume buttons are fine, they have a distinct firm press, just like without a case, and just like my Speck case did, but the Power button feels like it's hitting from an angle or something, mushy, annoying. I basically have to pinch the phone across the sides to turn it on one-handed, which always wind up changing the volume at the same time. Without a case, or with the Spec, I could just push the button in.
And the hinge sticking out annoys me more and more.. Can't really use the phone laying on the desk, it wobbles around.
Lots of pictures of it here, on BoxWave's website http://www.boxwave.com/at-t-samsung-galaxy-note-samsung-sgh-i717-cases-and-covers/colorsplash-at-t-samsung-galaxy-note-samsung-sgh-i717-case-with-stand/bwpdd/pkv-zvgp/
If wanted, I can take pictures of the microphone holes.. Not much to see, looks kind of like (. ) where the . is the microphone hole.
The power button is just fine. I think you may have received a defective case.

BTW, is there a way to just post pics, without a link in this forum? I couldn't find it. I know that's probably a real noob Question, but I have only recently started posting on a regular basis here, and that was my first attempt to post a pic.

I use photo Bucket personally and you can link the pictures super easy that way.
I got a response from BoxWave yesterday, their response is:
The ColorSplash Case with Stand was designed to have indents for the power button and other features. This will require a stronger press in order to use these keys. We do this to protect the buttons and so they will not be easily pressed when traveling.

So sounds like it was designed this way. Maybe my case is out of some sort of tolerances but my power button requires a hard mash to operate in this case, so I'm working with them to return it and I'll be on the prowl again for another case... Don't think I'll bother with one with a kickstand, I haven't once used it, but the grippy sides of this case are very nice compared to my Speck, so I'll be looking for that.
My Boxwave (not the colorsplash, but another one from them) was the same way with the hard keys. I switched to a Hyperion case which has softer sides and lets you press the buttons easier. BUT - the opening for the micro USB is too small to let the OEM Samsung usb charger plug all the way in. I am going to have to widen it a little.

Thanks for that, because I was wondering about a different Boxwave, but it was going to be pretty low on the list..
They finally gave me an RMA, and made it clear that if I don't have the clear plastic baggy the case came in, that I'd pay a 15% restocking fee... Oh it just gets better and better..... I'll never buy another BoxWave product again.
I got a few alternative cases to try out, I'll have full reviews on 'em soon, but this $3 case feels, fits, and works MUCH better than the damn BoxWave.

And this Diztronic case, formally TPU Cases, is REALLY nice, at $10

i just got this one for my note[white on white].. holes line up great.. kick stand feels alright, ill use it lightly or on my night stand/on my lap. ill be careful with it
fits pretty snug, kinda hard to get in..
all my buttons press in fine for me.
i also ordered the reg. one with no kick stand.. ill have to mess with that one again because one i first tried it on it seemed wayyyy off
the regular case with no kick stand fits good also.. have no problems with it.. the power button is a little mushy but ill get over it. its not that bad. i got the red case looks sexy on a white note.
update
i dropped my phone face down yesterday on concrete [my driveway]
i was pretty scared to pick it up, but when i did not a scratch or crack.. nothing
this case saved me right there, when it fell the edges of the case protected my screen from smashing on the ground
this case was well worth the 13 dollars.
I've been Googling, eBaying, and Amazoning (last fictional verb sounds kinda cool) for a common, flat case for my Tab 2 7.0.
It has become my number one remote control, so you can probably understand how uncomfortable a flip case is, adding an extra step every time I want to change a channel, or having a cover hanging (why in the world are 95% of the cases are now "folio"?!). Also, most cases either block the IR transmitter entirely, have some part obstructing it partially, making it mandatory to aim with "the" angle towards my TV set.
I have found a few silicon cases on eBay, but they have an S line, or weird X across the whole thing, that just make the device look fugly to me. No offense if someone likes it or has it, as we know, everyone has different taste.
I'd like to just get a regular, non-flip, non-folio, non-X-or-any-character-of-the-alphabet-drawn, plain cover, that protects the rear of my device, and doesn't obstruct the IR blaster at all. How hard can it be? The perfect fit for me would be a flat, matte black rubber thingy, with a hole where the blaster is... so simple, and inexistent! Maybe even better, a hard case.
Anyone found something, somewhere?
OtterBox
Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 Defender Series Case
I've looked but haven't found any.
I tried out the S curve case that was made for the GTab Plus and it fit horribly. It's too bad that the Gtab 2 isn't popular enough to have more cases. I was hoping for a Cruzerlite case, but I don't think it's gonna happen.

Yeah, I've seen it. I'm not sure it fits the "simple, flat" criteria, although I think I'd buy it if it didn't cost 1/3 of what my tablet did
I agree that Otterbox is pricey. I also hate the frame around the screen on the front.
Why not just get one of these cheap tpu style cases and just cut the tabs off that hold the cover?

That's exactly what I planned on doing if I couldn't find anything... get rid of the cover, and/or punch a hole for the IR sensor on the ones that are designed for P3100.
What about this one...
http://dx-box.com/rock-ultra-thin-nakedshell-faceplate-for-samsung-galaxy-tab-2-p3100-7.html
Says "P3100", but there's a 7.0 Plus in the pictures... who knows!
Got one, and it fits perfect! I'll post some pictures tomorrow.
PS: Anyone has tried matte/antiglare screen protectors? Been thinking about one, but not really convinced.
Try the Capdase silicone case for Tab 7.0 plus. Although mine is the folio type, (silicone case with IR blaster slot + leather folio) their plain silicone (w/o the leather case) seems exactly what you're looking for. Just plain flat black silicone, no x or s or whatever. just plain flat.

Do the corners of that case create a bit of a bevel/lip where they clamp on the tab? In other words, when you put the tab face down on a desk/table, is there a space between the screen and desk/table or is it flush?

I prefer the matte over the clear screen protector. The clear one gets sticky at times, the matte is always smooth and you don't have to worry about hairline scratches and reflections in your screen.

Sorry I haven't taken the pictures! Yes, there is a little space.

I hadn't thought of that, you're right. What about color loss?

Well that's a little compromise. Color is not as sharp and bright as the clear one but not by a big margin.

I guess it's worth a try. I'll get a matte screen cover and see how it goes. Good input, thanks!
Now, the long overdue pictures . Since the back surface is mostly flat (that was the idea), I concentrated mostly on showing how it fits the tablet. My apologies for the narrow depth of field... unfortunately I didn't have my tripod's plate with me, so I had to take the pictures handheld, and the only way to get a steady shot was with a large aperture.
This is the general look of it:

Profile. Love the way it looks. Really cool match for the tab's back color.
Opposite angle.

Dealextreme tends to be somewhat slow compared to individual sellers from Ebay, I believe this is because DX is the "middleman" liasing between customers who place orders and the suppliers who advertise their products whereas on Ebay, the sellers are the suppliers who respond directly to customer orders.
