Costco free case ruining Tab screen - Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Accessories

Got my Tab Pro 12.2 at Costco and the free case, that came with it, has seemed to have bent the screen enough that it lightened the coloring of one of the corners permanently. Of course Costco did an exchange but wondering if this has happened to anyone else or happen to anyone else with a different case. I know the case that comes with it from Costco is a cheapo but I at least wanted something protecting it. Guess I am now looking for a decent case, one that won't ruin the tabs screen.

I have that same case and it doesn't seem to be bending my screen. In which direction did you notice a bend in your screen. BestBuy stores with the Samsung sections in them have a couple cases for the 10.1 and 8.4 inch tab pros but only the same costco case for the 12.2 tab pros.

Looking for a case like SEIDO for TP2

I used to have SEIDIO cases for my mogul and touch pro... but it seems they havent made one for the Touch pro 2 yet... i just got my TP2 today and ill give myself 1 week tops before i drop it So i need one badly!
So with that i want someone to recomend me a case like the ones SEIDIO makes... i like the rubber/plastic feel/construction and at the same time like that they use very thin/light material... any help is greatly appreciated!

Me to!
Exactly what I'm waiting for as well - can't find yet for my month old Sprint TP2. Anybody finds similar I'd love to hear about it.
Hard Case definitely needed
I would like a hard case for my AT&T Tilt 2 (Touch Pro 2). If anyone has any information, please share it!
BUMP :s
Anyone?
Acrylic Case for Tilt 2 found
Check this out: http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/cell-phone-details/?device=HTC+Tilt2&q_sku=sku4030272
click on the "compatible accessories tab"
Amazingly, AT&T is the first to offer a "naked acrylic case" for the Tilt 2. It sounds like a Seidio-type case, except the case has an attached screen protector. The photo is horrible and I don't know of any AT&T store that carries these cases so, someone will have to take the plunge for us to find out what they're like. If I decide to buy it, I will certainly post photos and a review here.
I picked up the clear case when I got my Tilt 2 this weekend. Local ATT store in California had it in stock. The case is by Case Mate. It is pretty nice. The thin plastic over the screen is not causing any problems, but it tends to stick to the screen, so you do get these little air bubbles in spots. I'm hoping that if I really clean the screen well that problem will go away. I'm getting a little grit under the screen at the edges. I don't know if that will be a problem.
It does not add much to the size of the phone, so I'm happy.
ThomD, can you post photos of the case? Also, I assume the case is two pieces, can you confirm? Is it possible to cut the screen cover part off and use an affixed screen cover?
Willl the ATT case fit my Sprint TP2?
Photos later today, if work isn't too busy.
The case is two pieces. With a dremel is should be easy to take out the screen protector part, it is very thin compared to the rest of the case.
If Sprint and ATT have the same button layout it should work for Sprint phones.
I have the sedio case for my Treo Pro that I bought from sprint and the sprint touch pro 2 fits in the case perfectly!!! I love that it faces inward and protects the screen.

About three weeks ago, SeidioOnline customer service advised me that they hope to have the spring clip holster for the TP2 available around the first week in November. We'll see . . .

Out of stock... geeze did u guys buy them al?
I'm just going to wait for the Seidio becuase no one else makes a holster that works with the case and keeps the screen facing in, protecting it. Well not that I know of. If there is another lmk.
I also like that they are making a dock station for it that will be compatible with the case.
I went to Pocket Solutions and bought their leather Prestige case for the VZW TP2...a touch of elegance and with the belt clip.
However, I, too, am waiting for the new cases from Seidio...just received their extended 1750 battery and like it very much!
Anthony
Looks like the Seidio Innocase Surface is now pre-orderable and offically ships on 11/9. Hopefully they'll have the holster to go with it by then as well and maybe even the cradle.

Think it to late... But i have two shield on my touch pro 2
First Shield- Zagg screen Reason i bought is because the plastic its made out of is starch proof, meaning if your key rub against your screen you wont see any of those ugly lines.
Second Case- I Bought Off Amazon.it exactly what Ur looking for, it come with a belt clip that can be remove at any time, it come with an extract peace that change the belt clip clip on part to a flat back give u the ability to slide the phone right into your pocket without that belt clip sticking out.
http://www.amazon.com/Lambskin-Leat..._1_6?ie=UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1256960998&sr=8-6
That how it look. Its worth the money. Also the belt clip turns into a stand like the one in this picture

I bought this clear case at a local AT&T business center. It's certainly enough that I don't feel like keeping the phone at home because I'm worried of the damage that might happen if I put it in a pocket..
I am not-so patiently awaiting the seidio case and clip for this phone however, as I loved the one for my original Tilt.
Seidio Case and holster - Nov. 9
http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/bd2-hlcsr2htp2s-bk.htm

GREAT CASE..Shock proof!

I Just bought this case from Staples the 13 inch was $20 on sale (mine doesn't have an Apple on it ) Came in Pink or Black.

https://www.justaircases.com/?mid=9...31938482_1307c0d7-f43c-4f34-9ef9-fa8b0814d108
Love it! I don't have the keyboard yet but I tried my husbands netbook and it seems like it should fit.
Thought I would share that I love it.
These cases that claim to be shock proof or make things unbreakable always make me laugh. They may stop visible damage but the internals will still be subject to a few G's when dropped, and connections might be loosened. Some protection is always welcome of course for that 'just in case' scenario, so a case is always recommended for transporting it.
But sods law states that it will be dropped when it's not in a case and it will shatter into a hundred pieces anyway. At least I bet, now that I've written this, it'll happen to me.
Having said that however the case you mention looks quite nice.

Did you find it in-store at Staples or did you order online? I'd like to take a look at my local Staples if so.....Cheap enough that I might give it a try...
I bought an "Incase" 10.5" case at Target that I really like...good cushioning, but probably not "shock proof"....
Yes I found it in the Staples Store at mine it was on an end cap. Very thick why thicker than a few that my husband has tried. I am not going to be dropping it down the stairs hopefully but for little drops I am sure it will help.
How come you bought the 13" one? doesn't the 10" one fit the TF?

You know I think I am wrong. The sign had said they only had 13inch and 15inch but now I looked and it says IPAD case so I was going to measure and I can't find a darn ruler or anything but I guess it would either have to be the Ipad case or the 10 inch because it just fits...snuggly but my husbands 10inch Asus Netbook fits int there also. So when he gets home and I can measure I will. I think though I might go get the 13inch this way I can fit the cord on the side also.
This case would be great:

Spigen bounce and GN3 screen protector

Just put in the order for $21 change....
i know i will not be happy with the case....really looking forward some good clear bumpers.....
the only problem is how do you make such a big ass phone less bulky....
and if you are going to add bulk...how to make it look classy?

Ordered Bounce and Ultra-Crystal also. Only brand name case I could get before phone arrives.
Anyone have past experience with Bounce models?
I love the ultra-Crystal and Ultra-oleophobic from Spigen. Have used on all my phones since Captivate.
ยข via my interim device KFHD
I also ordered the Bounce case (it shipped today) and the crystal screen protectors. The Bounce case looked to be the best combination of value, looks, light weight, and protection. I'll report back on their performance once I've got everything (The screen protectors are the only item I've gotten so far)
I wonder how the buttons will work. I hope that the "feeling: that you are pressing the button remains..

My wife has a TPU for her HTC one and access to the buttons suck!
the bounce looks like a very light weight skin....no additional protection except the fact that it will help avoid getting your phone dinged!
I'm sure once the phone is officially out we'll be getting better cases...patience is not a virtue
OP, if you're looking at Spigen, I like the looks of this one...
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DCIZJEY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2SFKRF5TPZMT5
Looks a little more classy than the one you linked (in my opinion)
Bah, they dropped the prices on the neo hybrid by $10. I'd have considered it at that price Oh well, the Bounce looks great. I'll know in a few days for sure
Spigen is really all over the road on their pricing. First the $1 promo on select items, then they jumped to $29.99, then $34.99, now down to $24.99 its fine to lower the price but they better fix the ones they charged and haven't shipped and perhaps fix those that just shipped as well. It would be good for customer relations.

Finally on their FB page they are saying if you want one to let them know. They are gauging interest, that what I read in the thread/poll about that case. Since they cannot commit to one I am looking at this instead http://www.seidioonline.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=CSF2SSGT3K-DG Sedio Ledger with metal kickstand. Has magnetic closure and big S-View window. The price is right, I just wish they offered some better color options, but I might get the red/grey combo for some flash.

This looks phenomenal. Just wish it was a bit cheaper. For those who have used flip covers in the past how do you feel about them compared to regular cases? I just ordered the neo hybrid as my first note 3 case and currently have a Seidio active on my note 2 which I like(although it's a bit bulky). But I'm thinking about trying the above Seidio Ledger case when it is released. My biggest concern is it becoming a nuisance with the extra flap hanging around, especially when taking pictures or attempting to use with one hand. Thoughts? Experiences?
I had the Slim Armor View on the GS4 and I didn't find it intrusive at all, I simply flipped the cover back and used the phone as if it wasn't there. The Ledge from Seidio looks to be the same. Obviously when using the camera you won't want the cover folded back even if it does line up, the extra plastic in between the image and the lens will likely cause for crappy images.
Still its a small price to pay for full protection and a view window.

Received the Bounce from Spigen the other day and without phone inside it fits my Seidio Active holster from the Note 2 very well. The top half of the holster that the screen faces doesn't appear to be wide enough to protect it edge to edge, but sold my Note 2 on 8/31 so I cannot compare.
Yes, I am one of those that uses a holster. At work only though.
I am 6' 3" and 240lbs so I tell myself it doesn't look as obvious, but my wife and kids say otherwise

Bought one. Time to pick a case

I got my 12.2 this afternoon. So far so good but now it is time to get a good case, having that big screen unprotected is leaving me nervous.
Anyone having good recommendations?
Tab was pricey but came with a 64gb card and 6 months of Netflix free.
I haven't had much time with it but let me know if you have questions. This is my first tab (of any kind) but I've used Andis for a long time and have a rooted Note 2.
Thanks.
you bought the 12.2 note pro or tab pro? i'm looking for the 12.2 tab pro and it's not released yet..
It doesn't look like the cases from Samsung are out yet, and are only for pre-order at the mo. Also I don't see much in the way of 3rd party yet. It's great to have a bleeding edge device but it sucks to wait for everything like cases, root, etc..

12.2 Note Pro.
I'm not fully sure I will adapt to the size or if I need a tablet at all, so something tells me I might end up selling it in two or three days. That will definitely be a needless loss of money, but sometimes there's no way to know until you experiment.

try getting a BT keyboard and mouse, it might make things better, I guess..
If you search eBay there are a ton of cases for around $20. However, when I pick mine 12.2 up on Sunday I will be getting the Zagg Cover-fit bluetooth keyboard case. (link) I've had the original tab since day 1, almost 3 years ago, and I've been using the Logitec bluetooth case that is very similar to the Zagg case in the link. I literally have about 7 cases for my original tab at home that I've collected over the years but have only used the keyboard/case exclusively since I got it.
The Zagg is $100, which is what the Logitech cost at launch (I got it later on clearance for $15), but it's worth every penny.
Picked up an 8.4 yesterday and it's fantastic. Literally only the Belkin case is available immediately so I passed on that. I paid 50 for the Samsung Book case on their site...it appears to be available now, so hopefully it gets here quick. Toddler in the house!
Now we just gotta get these things rooted and unlocked with a form of stock Android. Magazine UX is terrible.
I'm waiting on the Tab pro to come out, but after using the poetic slimline case on my N7, I'll be looking at something like this http://www.amazon.com/Series-Samsun..._sim_pc_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=10YW9X29YEQEN39KKBS8. By mid-March, more cases may be around for 12.2.

The Moko Samsung Galaxy Note PRO & Tab PRO 12.2 Case.
It's cheap, but feels sturdy and nice materials. It has magnetic closure that turns off the screen of my Tab Pro 12.2 when I close the case. It props up nicely. The only minor issues I have are the pen holder is cheap stretchy material and is badly located and the case has a cheap elastic strap designed to help keep it closed. I don't use the strap. I may cut it off, but it's not intrusive.

Best rugged case for Tab S4

I'm a new Tab S4 owner, and don't have a case yet. I had the screen shatter on my first tablet, a Galaxy Note 10.1 2014, and I've been crazy scared of drops ever since. It had one of the leather / cardboard book sleeve covers. Bumped off a bed stand onto a hardwood floor, and bang! On phones and smaller tablets I've gone to Roocase and on my Galaxy Tab S2, I have a Beetle Defense cover.
It seems like book sleeve covers are much more common than heavy duty cases for the Tab S4. Especially in tandem with keyboards. Are there any that are rugged enough to protect a dropped tablet? If not, is there any concensus on the best rugged case for the S4?
Thanks,
Joe
You are probably better off searching Amazon for " shockproof rugged samsung tab s4 case " and reading the reviews. There are a number of them out there. I personally don't use one myself. At home my Tab S4 sits in the pogo charging dock in my home office on my desk. And when I'm on the road I use this case https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GXDCGLQ/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 If you look closely that case has a strap that goes around the back to hold the case shut and pretty well protected. Though I have yet to drop it to test it out. FWIW I had the similar case by the same company for my Tab S3 and it is still running like a champ 1.5 years later.
But when I need to take notes by hand I take the tablet out of the case as it is easier for me to write on it with no case. I don't know how much interference a rugged case would have trying to write on it in terms of ergonomics. So I'd be sure to check reviews on how hard people found to write on the tablet while in the case.

Thanks, aspexil, I'm seeing a lot more cases on Amazon with "shockproof rugged" than I did looking for just case. Search terms are everything. Thanks also for comments on folio case - it is one I was looking at yesterday.
