Here is my review of the CLIP case. Just got it last night and so far I love it. Tablet fits very snug into the Clips, actually had a difficult time getting it into tabs. The stand function is great. I had been looking for the built in stand function ever since I got my tab. I got the white one since the black one was out of stock, but didn't really care about the color, although the white sort of looks like my uncles shoes down in Florida. No offense it2steve. The one tab does block the USB/sdcard slot, but I don't really use either very much so no biggie for me. The synthetic leather also had a very strong smell, but I imagine that will go away over time. Overall a very good product, will have to see how it stand up over time, and I will report back with any problems that do arise. Nice job it2steve.

Very. It pretty much filled up my office and bedroom. I'm happy to report that it's pretty much unnoticeable after 4 days unless you're, like, 3 inches away from it. So, uh, stay away if you're extremely far-sighted.
Hoping to grab a black one today...
but if someone is interested in swapping out for the white one, I would be interested in seeing it....of course if you live around DC it would be easier.
Do you have a link I can check out? I definitely need a case for my tablet. Also, did you get a plastic screen cover. If so, where did you get it?
So how long did it take you guys to get your stuff from Steve? I'm hoping to snag a Clip, but I will be on a trip from the 11th to the 15th, and I was hoping to get it for that.
CLIP just came in stock, I got a black one =D
My was delivered within 3 days of ordering. Excellent service from a delivery perspective.

Awesome, thanks.
Just placed my order for two clips, in black. Looking forward to having cases for my tab's so soon after they arrive (should get my 2 tabs tomorrow, and the cases next week!).
I really like the way it looks but i dont like that it is not leather and for $48 well? ???
Black CLIP on its way to my house as well...
I think I am all accessoried out. My wife is going to kill me when everything starts arriving. TAB coming today...then the screen protector...then the dock and charger from Steve...now the CLIP...and then the 16 GB MicroSD card.
Now if I can only get Vegan loaded without bricking the thing. :/
Grab the M1 then...cheaper price. Personally, I thought the CLIP looked easier to put on and off without covering the whole TAB. No one else I know has a TAB so I won't have any buyers remorse. I won't know what I am missing.

I have the white one and, while I may not be a leather connoisseur (hmm, that doesn't sound right http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZr8bbKxYrE ), I do know cheap when I see it, and this definitely does not look or feel cheap. I think it's mostly due to the fact that it has that leather texture and it's not that shiny, puffy, padded type faux leather that you see on a lot of cases or folios.
IMHO, it's worth the money, especially seeing how many awful (and less useful) cases are out there for as much money.
Oh, and it only took 4 days to receive, I think, and Steve seems like a very good guy and responds to emails very quickly.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend one.

It's worth it. And if for whatever reason you decide after you receive it that you really don't like it (I can't believe you would since this case is awesome) you can always sell it on eBay.
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?

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).

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?
EDIT: Looked it up, 31 magnets.
Has anyone tried one of these SZLF Aluminum Bumper cases for the AT&T Note? It appears this is only for the International version but I am not aware of any differences in the size of the phone so it may work for both. All of the listings I have found for this on eBay only mention i9220 and N7000 though.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Luxury-...374880?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4163fca0e0
Also, if you have tried this, does the case cover the edges of the screen (further protecting a screen protector)? I like the look of this one as well as the Anymode Bumper but the Anymode looks really big.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1387444
It'll fit the AT&T/Canadian Note.
I recommend u get the following one. It's well worth the money.

Sweet armor is nice and all, but the fake is 1/4 the price, so it would win my vote. The review showed that the original is better made, but I just don't think it's that much better depending on how biased the review is.
I got the sweet armor (fake version, same as szlf) and ended up not using it. Here's why:
1. Makes phone more slippery and heavy
2. Scratches screen protector when taking on and off (and you must take it off to access battery)
3. Not very ergonomic

They look cool, some people like them, I just don't see the point since I agree with primarily your first point. The other day I was laying in my recliner with my 2 year old beside me and we were looking at a zoo app of animals while holding my phone above us. It slipped and I cracked my poor baby girl in the face with my phone. Since then I keep the silicon jacket on it untill my Seidio comes in the mail.
Can't stand the "SZLF" logo all over it...
Stay away from Aluminum Bumpers
My buddy and I both have Notes. We were just troubleshooting (Like 15 muintes ago) network connectivity problems he has been experiencing here at work the last few days. The connection would drop or stay at 4G, and rarely hit LTE. What we discovered was it was the aluminum bumper he installed around the same time the problems started. It drastically reduce his signal quality. Stay far away from these.
Thanks everyone for all the feedback. Based on the issues with potentially scratching the screen protector putting this bumper on and the poor signal strength I am just going to keep looking for something else. I like the BoxWave TPU case I have now but it does not cover the edge of the screen/SP so every once in awhile I notice it pushing up against the SP causing the SP to move slightly.

I am not sure, but it also looks like the battery cover for the N7000 is different than the one on the I717. Noticed on this SZLF case, the bottom back portion would block the I717 cover.

Just got my reiko heavy duty case from amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0071AQNVW/ref=mp_s_a_6?qid=1334976515&sr=8-6
I got it in blue though I work in construction so I needed a heavy duty case and I didn't feel like spending 50 bucks so I ran across this for 8. It is a little on the cheap side but you get what you pay for. It does the job its basically like an otter box just cheaper feel too it but its not bad its deff worth the 8 bucks and some. Favorite feature is the kick stand I think its awesome and handy. This is my first day of using the case ill let you guys know how it holds up in a week or 2. But I just wanted to let people know who want a heavy duty case that their is a really cheap one that's worth it or people who doubt feel like waiting for otter box and paying 60 bucks.
Galaxy Note
Oh how can I forget. All the buttons and mix holes and mini USB port lined up perfect...also the camera and all that stuff...it was a tight fit but I do have a full body zagg shield on though.
Galaxy Note
I had one of those on my E4GT for awhile, but took it off after a day or 2; didn't like how difficult it was to put on and off, and, the kickstand was a pain to get out quickly; also, didn't seem to fit 100% perfectly; it always seems to be moving inside the "shell"..
but, I agree, for the price nothing protects the phone better..

the only problem is how do you make such a big ass phone less bulky....

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.

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)

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!

OP, if you're looking at Spigen, I like the looks of this one...

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.

Yes, I am one of those that uses a holster. At work only though.
