I found an M Edge 7" tablet case at Walmart recently (~$20). Has a rotating standing for portrait or landscape positioning, as well as two viewing angles. Nice case but one issue, the four rubber retaining straps that stretch over each corner are positioned such that they can push down both the power and one of the volume buttons while in use. This has caused my NT to go into Safe mode (perplexed why it did this until I figured this out).
Anyone with either a better case option, or a solution to this issue. The straps are molded into the case so there is no adjusting them.
I have a m-edge case that I find really useful. It opens like book and zips shut. The best aspect is the way it mounts the NT, it has plastic brackets similar to the B&N cases. I will post a link latter.
Edit: Here is the link, I like this case mostly because it has a tight fit and doesn't interfere with any of the buttons.

Just received the $33 FUSE case [http://electroniccrap.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=5_9&products_id=37] from electronicCrap. It is quite a nice case. I really like the finish on both the outer and inner.
The inside is a stiffer type of velvet or something. Not exactly rough, but not as smooth as microfiber for example.
The exterior is very sharp, and business meeting ready. It is a soft suede-like material and is a nice shade of gray. One big advantage of this material is a slightly higher friction grip on surfaces than leather or faux-leather. If I try to slide the tablet in the case on a smooth surface, it is quite hard. I imagine you could set the case on a dashboard and it would rarely slide.
The tablet is VERY secure in the case, and can be made even more secure with a bit of velcro or some other material to fully secure the closing flap. However, with only friction holding the flap, the tablet won't fall out even if I hold the whole thing by the folding cover and shake it.
The case functions well as a stand, sitting comfortably at all three angles on my lap bot sitting and lying in bed. The cutouts for ports are all perfectly sized. The dock port is accessible for something like the HDMI cable. I don't have a dock, so I am not sure if that would fit. The fabric over the microsd and usb slot is put together a little funny. The bottom edge (somewhat visible in this picture from electronicCrap: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10015338/Cases/hy3.JPG, it is the edge below the microSD cover) sort of tucks in where it should not, and the part that tucks isn't really necessary. This is a really minor thing that doesn't affect the function, just the form a bit. Seems like instead of an oval cut-out of one large connection between front and back panel it should be just two narrow strips.
The comment Steve makes about the magnets on his site is very true. They are a little on the weak side to close the case, but it doesn't bother me at all.
I ordered my Fuse case from electroniccrap.com last Friday and received it three days later. After three months of using my GTab "naked", I have to say it is a much more pleasant experience using it in the Fuse folio case. As ramerco mentions, the case feels well made. My only complaint is that there is no cutout for the charge status LED on the front of the GTab near the charging port. Otherwise, I would not hesitate to recommend this case.
It's a good case for Gtablet.
I have the P3, and I love it as well. Is the only difference a matter of the P3 blocking the left speaker and the flap on top?
If yes, the P3 is a few bucks cheaper and I highly recommend that too.
i think the p3 cutout for the mini usb cover is not lined up properly. i don't know though, i only have the fuse...

The P3 is a synthetic leather PU style case that has a "slicker" feel to it.
The Fuse is almost like a suede feel. They are both great cases. I flip back and forth between both of them to fit my mood
And yes, there is a little bit of an overlap of one of the speakers, but it doesn't affect the functionality that much. It still pumps out descent sound!
I ordered the FUSE case as well and it's great. It's a great bargain. I highly recommend it.

FUSE - great case for those without a dock.
I read through a dozen or more threads here looking for info on all of the cases that were compatible with the G tablet. The only noteworthy negative aspect of the FUSE case that I could gleen from the experiences of others was the fact that it did not allow the tablet to dock while inside the case - for that you'd need the CLIP I believe. I didn't see any reason to bother with a dock, so I went with the FUSE (from electroniccrap).
Six months later, I'm still happy with my purchase. The material has held up exceptionally well (my 2-year-old got a hold of the case once and didn't manage to leave any visible blemishes or marks, despite his persistence) and I still like the feel of it. The faux-sued or whatever it is offers just the right amount of texture/friction to hold the tablet 1-handed without fear of it slipping out of my grip.
So, I suppose I should say thank you to all of the posters here who shared their experiences with the various cases - much obliged, everyone.
I picked up the Snugg Case for my NT on Amazon. It's a good looking, sturdy case made of leather. It has a magnetic tab to keep itself closed and a Velcro tab to keep the NT ensconced in the case.
There is plenty of easy access to the volume, charging, power button, microSD and headphone jacks. A cutout in the back let's out sound from the speaker just fine.
It can be configured as a horizontal stand and you can use the elastic band to keep it attached to your hand.
There are some problems with it that takes away the usability of the case. First, because of it's thickness, it's near on impossible to easily touch the screen in the bottom left where the home, back and whatever else you have turned on buttons reside. Loosening up the Velcro helps a little but not enough. Also, when in it's horizontal stand position, it really doesn't have enough of an angle to suit me. It's around 75 degrees and I'd prefer an easier angle around 45. It also has a bit of a stink that's taken a few days to dissipate.
While the quality is really great, the issues listed above are the reasons that as soon as I want to use ny NT, I have to take it out of the case. Sadly, Amazon will soon have this back in their inventory.

Staples sells an M-edge case that works really well. It doesn't have any stands or the such, but it zips up and has the same clear, plastic corner brackets that the B&N cases have. I really like mine, it holds the NT pretty tight and doesn't mess with any of the buttons.

FWIW, I bought this case from eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Lea...ablet_eReader_Accessories&hash=item43ac3a9691 and it works great.
Hello Android fans,
I'm a new user to the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 from T-Mobile (SGH-T779), and I wanted to discuss my case and screen protectors of choice I like.
First of all, my screen protector of choice in most cases is usually Zagg's invisibleShield, because it works REALLY well, most of the time. I say most of the time for reasons not related to this situation. I have a Galaxy Note 2 as well with a wallet case that presses against the screen, Zagg's plastic technology doesn't work so well for it in that kind of situation.
Otherwise, my Tab 2 has a nice wet-applied Zagg invisibleShield HD screen on it, and it's plain awesome. There's no quality loss in the screen, it doesn't scratch very easily and doesn't collect a whole lot of fingerprints. It does collect them, but easily wiped off with a simple cloth.
My case I'm using, though it's not /perfect/, it's just currently the best I could personally find at the time.
It's the RooCase RC-GALX10TAB2-DA-BK Dual-Axis leather folio case. Basically it works using a 2-piece assembly. The main part holds the case in a nice felt-feeling case, so you can hold it, without the outer case, in a night light package. The outer case has velcro to hold the inner part to it so you can rotate it by sticking it to the velcro. This allows it to be in landscape or portrait mode very nicely, and it doesn't fall over when in portrait mode like a lot of the other dual-axis folios seem to have a problem with. It does use a low-powered magnet on the front of the inner case to the outer inner case so it snugs together when closed.
The only downsides are, so far:
The stylus/pen holder is on the outside edge of the outer case, so it sticks out like a soar thumb, and can easily be knocked out.
The case has no hole on the bottom side for the 30-pin connector, though this issue can be kind of gotten around by simply rotating the tablet to its side, or completely upside down, thanks to full auto-rotation of the Android interface. I usually plug it in every night in this manner, rotated out to put the 30-pin on the outer side and plugged in.
It is "technically" leather, but it seems like every other "Genuine Leather" product out there, where the leather is just a very very thin layer of leather covered over cardboard or other fillers. (I make leather stuff as a hobby, so I know what real leather is capable of and feels like when done properly).
The plus sides are:
It fits rather well and does not interfere with the touchable screen area, even with my big hands I have yet to conflict with the edges of the touchable screen. .
It fits very snug and tightly, so it doesn't move at all.
It fully exposes the power, volume rocker, microSD slot, IrDA port, and headset port, and covers most of the SIM card, so it helps prevent loss of the SIM card in case it ever popped open and somehow snapped out.
Anyway, that's my review, hope it's helpful to people.

Hey I'm looking for a case with a hard cover that doesn't bend - like a keyboard case or a case with a kickstand. It also MUST attach to the tablet in a way that allows the tablet to swing freely but it doesn't matter if it's via magnet or hinge.
It doesn't matter if it has a keyboard and the quality of the keyboard doesn't matter as I won't be using it.
The Zagg Folio 8" Auto-fit looks perfect - except it's WAY more than I want to pay. Can anyone please recommend any other cases that are lower priced? The feature that I need is a non-bending cover that attaches well, anything else like keyboard or looks is unimportant. Thanks!
Reason I need a non-bending cover is I want to hang the tablet so it hangs on a monitor with the cover portion laying flat on the top of the monitor so it's at eye level for use on a stationary cycle and so the monitor screen is covered. The two bendy covers that I've tried this with "collapse" and the weight of the tablet drags off the top.
I have an idea: Why not use Velcro stickers so it can hang of the top(back) of the display unit itself? It would be way cheaper if you already have something in mind and can be easily removed. And even the slimmest stickers could be left on the cover without interfering with the screen once it's closed or when held while in use.
Nice idea but it's for a machine at my gym.
