So heres a link to this Carbon Fiber very stylish white case for samsung galaxy tab. I like the color and is very fashionable, adds value to the tablet. Also there is a link to a copy of this case, it looks like its carbon fiber but its not. Which one I should go with? I didn't really like roocase or galaxy book cover. Galaxy tab is my 5th tablet and I am planning on using it not only on the go, but also like to make a fashion statement. Has anyone purchase any of these cases? Any feedback would be highly appreciated. And yes White is next Black

The real zenus case looks a lot nicer. It accentuates the beauty of this device very well. I wonder what the overall thickness is. I am very tempted to get one of those.
Looking at it in more depth. The page says galaxy tab 2 and it ships from south korea. If you do go to the zenus case site. ZenuscaseusaDOTcom it says the same thing. I'm kinda skeptical. I love the look of the white but wonder if it would get dirty quickly.

The case looks nice ... thanks for posting. The $85 + 8.50 seems like a lot. If anyone buys, please post impressions/photos.

Should prob have it tues our wednesday but I'm going on vacation for six days on thursday. I will review it next week upon return and after some use. If I forget send me a pm to remind me lol.

I ordered the black as well from Amazon.

I like the fact the "better" (Zenus) one uses clips to hold the device just as the OEM one does where the "cheap" one surrounds the entire border around the screen.
I ordered one from amazon also. I ordered the white one though. since its carbon fiber, i think it will be easy to clean if it gets dirty
I really like that more expensive "Prestige" style case, but it's even more expensive than the Bookcover case from Samsung! Yikes.

I assume you understand it's not "real" carbon fiber but a textured material that looks like CF.
Product Description
Zenus 'Prestige' Carbon Series has its luxurious yet ruggedized feel and is available in Black and White colors. The series is made of premium quality genuine leather materials with a nylon weave bonded to the outer surface to provide the look of Carbon Fiber which provides excellent friction for high-end outdoor activities including sport riding and a look to match. By refining the carbon fiber pattern with Zenus' own design philosophy, the series will add elegance look and feel over to the dynamic essence of what the carbon fiber pattern should offers.

lol I seriously thought it was a real carbon fiber. Too late cuz i have already placed an oder. It better be worth $85
Looks like a good case, definitely let us know how it turns out!
Looks sweet! Only con I can find, is that it doesn't have the low angle position as the original samsung book case.
Looking forward to read the reviews!

Thank You. A friend of mine got PU leather black case for his white galaxy tab. He left it overnight to charge it in the case, next morning he woke up only to find out PU leather got hot and started to melt slowly and left black stain marks on the back of his white galaxy. It looks really ugly. I will try to post pictures when I see his tab next time. That would be the reason I think I should get a good case rather than PU leather.

Just got a shipped notice from Amazon for my black one.
That's why they call it PU leather, because it stinks .... figuratively and literally. I got one for my B&N Nook off eBay and it smelled like the trunk of Casey Anthony's Sunfire. The seller gave me a refund and told me to throw it out. When I put out the garbage all the animals in the area ran away from the bag.

The official site says the outside is 100% Genuine leather

Just got my case. Initial thoughts: good quality. I like how it does not block any of the screen like most cases. I almost had a heart attack when un boxing because it said 10.1 v but it fits perfectly. It is a bit hard to transform it to a stand because of how snug it fits in the case but I imagine this will get easier with use. The angle works well for typing(I am typing this right now with the tab at an angle on my desk). Closing the lid is a bit tricky to get it to latch, but once it is closed it stays closed. The pictures at zenuscaseusa.com show the detail pretty well but if anyone wants a picture of anything specific let me know. I will post more thoughts when I get back from my trip and get to use it more, but so far I feel it is worth the price. Oh, and the outside is leather but has a textured feel from the nylon they used to make the carbon fiber pattern.

Hello
Here is my review of the Easecase A6
These cases are custom made by a company who sell through ebay. When choosing a case, there are numerous options with regard to styles, the colour of the leather, the texture of the leather and also whether you want the case to be engraved.
I chose the A6 model as it offered excellent protection yet wasn't too bulky. All the cutouts are perfect and the case is of superb quality.
It took approximately two weeks for it to be shipped from China and was well worth the wait!
Please see attached photos and feel free to ask any questions. The other case in the photos is my Easecase A4 for my GS2.
My case cost £31.99

Nice pagan colour scheme.
that looks really nice (though not my colour scheme!!)
how did you specify two different colours? you just asked for colourX on back and colourY on front? do you have two colours for the lining? can you show how it looks without the phone please?
I'm tempted for a white and blue... hmm...

Each to their own lol.... Anyhow
when you order the case, there is an option on the checkout page to specify how you would like the case to be customised.
My spec was:
Outer material Purple NJ Cowhide
Front, sides, inner and bottom Red Cowhide
I will post a photo of the case without the phone later this evening
Here are all the customizing choices

The stitching looks really good work
and it's interesting that you chose leather for the inside where the back will be, there maybe more interesting 'polishing' effect on that area over time that will add character to the leather.
I'll definitely get this once I have a better idea of a colour/finish scheme - I'm loooking at all their other sales on ebay to see photos of other finishes

Hey guys I ordered two Elago Breathe Cases for the GS3 from Amazon. I purchased the Glossy White as well as a blue called Glossy Coral. They cost $9.99 each and since I have prime I got two day shipping for free. Here is the direct link for the cases for the GS3:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aag/main?ie=UTF8&asin=&isAmazonFulfilled=1&isCBA=&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&seller=A23S71QXDZCPQA
I purchased the white one for myself and the blue one for my girlfriend. The cases are very thin and sleek. They feel great in the hand and do not add extra bulk to the phone. The top and bottom of the case is open so you wont get overall protection there, so be careful when handling it and not dropping it. There is a slight lip, but I don't think that it will keep the phone raised up enough off a surface if you lay the phone flat on the screen side. I would definitely recommend putting a screen protector on to be combined with this case. I had already purchased a screen protector the day I picked up the phone from the store, however Elago actually sells the case together with a screen protector from amazon as well. The prices for the two combined are $24.99, and the screen protectors from Elago are $8.99 alone. There are cut outs on the sides for the power button and the volume rocker. I feel that the cut outs aren't recessed enough, and your made aware of it however it does not bother me too much. Overall I am very happy with the cases especially for the price. I would definitely buy from Elago again, and I do like the variety of colors that they offer the cases in. I like the Breathe style because they are different than all of these other snap on thin cases and make the phone stand out more. I took some pics from various angles with both cases on the phone and off the phone with my dslr so you guys can take a look for yourselves.
nice review. how well does the phone stay in the case though? i've been hesitant with snap on cases because i'm afraid the phone will come out of it.
are they grippy or are they still really smooth? I am planning on getting a case only because the phone is so smooth i know i'm going to drop it eventually.
It's a great looking case though!

Thanks! The phone is snug within the case. It hasn't come out of the phone. It fell earlier today, and the case popped off but i've had that happen with other cases though. When it fell, there was not damage to the phone. THANK GOD! LOL.

It is smooth but I feel like the perforated holes add grip while your hands are holding it. I used it all day yesterday and today so far and haven't slip because of it being too smooth.
I was hoping that the official vent case for the GS3 looked like the official case for the GS2 but they screwed the look up pretty badly. This one looks good but it needs that flashy silver plaque. Haha.
Although I felt the same way about the actual phone itself but the GS3 grew on me and is now the best looking phone ever. Maybe that official vent case will grow on me as well.
Had an elago s4 on my iPhone. Best case I ever had. Thanks for the review!

Slickwraps sent me one of these units for review purposes and I actually liked it a lot more than I thought I would. Pretty solid unit. Might order one of them in black.
Here is a review I made if you guys are interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuEXoDQcs7o
Are these decals popular for phones? I remember some companies released them for the iPhone 3G/3GS a few years ago but I never personally researched into them until a while ago.
Just looking at the dbrand and xgear threads here in XDA, I'd say they are pretty popular. I've never heard of the brand before, but after looking at their website, these appear to be pretty comparable to the dbrand skins and xgear skins. To give credit where its due, Slickwraps does have a much larger selection of colors than either of the other 2 skin brands. They even have a glow in the dark one, which is really cool and some glittery ones for the ladies (or guys, if that's your thing ). Great find, OP. :good:
Edit: It also appears that they're made in the US if that matters to anyone.

Comrade, I noticed on some of the pictures from their website, the nexus cutout on the back seems a little...off. On the nexus logo, the letters are all supposed to be lines of the same thickness, but some of the images appear to be thicker on the "S" or perhaps thinner on the "nexu". Are you noticing this with your review skin? I couldn't really tell from the video.

In my experience the Nexus cut out was spot on. Perhaps they fixed the issue before they sent me my unit.
I'm not even exaggerating when I say how impressed I am by the accuracy of the cutouts. They were extremely accurate, down to the less than 1mm diameter microphone at the top.

Also found out you can be randomly selected to win one of these devices (Galaxy S4, Nexus 5, etc) if you purchase one of these decals from the Slickwraps website today (Black Friday deal). They posted a video about it on their Youtube page. Looks like a interesting deal.
Actually never mind, the deal is for tomorrow (since Black Friday is tomorrow).

I thought so, because the carbon fiber color is somewhat different than the one from dbrand or stickerboy.
But, actually I prefer their color. Their red carbon fiber and dark brown leather are very nice.
Is their quality comparable to the 3M Di-Noc one? Anyone can share their experience? Do they leave residue when remove?

Don't really have the choice when OnePlus sends invites for 64GB instead of 16GB
dbrand makes awesome skins though. I feel that they should make a third party backplate to put the skins on.

P.S I had a black cf skin on my Nexus 4 for a year and loved it, gotta get something for my black OPO as well

I ordered just the white carbon fiber back, and in my opinion, it looks light-years better than the Sandstone Black. The sides are uncovered by the sticker, so you still get a fair amount of grippiness on the sides. Now, my OPO literally turns heads when I put it on a table. I highly recommend it, despite the warnings. I'll post pictures if there's any interest.
Here is how the mahagony wood looks like. I have the sandstone back and it was very simply to put on. I used a hair dryer to apply.

This looks amazing, ordering now.
I had one for awhile and it worked great! I have a sandstone black too and it was fine. They give you alot of warnings not to use it on sandstone tho. I eventually took it off though. They only give you a back piece and it makes the sides look weird.
