Which case are you buying? - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories

Wanted to start a thread sharing what kind of cases people were getting and include pictures if possible. I was thinking of one of these:

I have a skinomi screen protector on my samsung galaxy S and it works flawless

belkin slim
I got the belkin slim that BB had after I got my 32 grey from Fry's since BB only had 16's and that was late friday. The case is nice and very thin but still padded.

It is released, you can order it right now from that link.

I have the belkin one and i do not recommend it to anyone. Im really not much of a fan of the blue texturing on it and for some reason you cant have the case closed and charge the tab simultaneously. I plan on returning it and getting the sammy one instead.

I got it. I don't like it. I returned it. Too thick.

I'm not ordering a case until the "Which case should I get?" hits the 100th thread discussing the same damn thing, haha. I think we have enough case threads people. hehe

But then don't get free shipping

Only the Samsung case doesn't have cheap elastic bands in the corners or a "pouch" to slide the tablet in...and I hate the leather (or whatever) frame around the screen. I much prefer the way the tab snaps into the Samsung case, leaving the face of the tab clean and completely obstructed. That's why I went for the Samsung case.

I got the Belkin verve case (all black one) just something to protect the tab. The Samsung book one looks nice but I'm waiting for a few more reviews?

I'd like to get the Samsung case as well... hopefully you'll be able to find it from third party vendors for significantly less in the near future.

I'm calling shenanigans on this... I checked about 4 hours ago and just now for the hell of it. Yes, the blue 'buy online' button is there, but when you click the button, it is still back ordered and I have not received my email notification that it was ever in stock today...
Has anyone actually purchased it and have a tracking number?

I have ordered the Samsung Leather Pouch (normally $30). I'm going to look it over and if I feel I need a sturdier case occasionally, then I'm going to pickup the the Samsung Book Case. I am also considering trying out a silicone cover.

You can still get free shipping based on the order total ... check the instructions when you checkout. I ordered the Leather Pouch, Desktop Dock and Stylus and got free 3 day shipping.

I actually bought 2. The samsung book case. and this one from ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190542584350&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
IDK why I bought both. Just wanted a second one.

I got the gray slim Belkin case as well. I had a $25 Bestbuy gift card and used that... I'll sell it on craigslist as soon as the Samsung leather case becomes available and gets good reviews...
I think the Belkin isn't that bad actually.

screen and case _ Look at my post on 04/04 at 00:44!! Is this for real???

Hi,
first of all does anyone know where i can get a good scree protector and case??
Also .. i have been using my desire today and I have fingerprints on my screen. What is the best way to get my screen clean without scratching it. Has anyone else got this as well?
Microfiber cloths i find are best. I by a pack of 6 kent ones for about £3 from Asda. I normally change the cloth every couple of weeks. I'm in to car detailing and use the same ones when cleaning the inside of my vauxhall astra VXR..
Can you post the link where you bought your Microfiber cloths?
That's only for cleaning the screen, right?

Case and pen
I got my case and i pen that i ordered from Amazon the case fits properly but doesn't offer that much protection but it does the job. The pen that came with it works fine could be better but it works. Pictures are below.
Link is below but i think they changed the case you get with it.

Hi Y´all!
This might be a stupid question but never the less:
The Legend screen cover is hardened glass.
Given the nature of this thread can i then assume that Desire´s screen front is plastic?
Haven´t found the ansver in any of the reviews so far.
Edit:
Never mind! found the ansver, It´s glass. then why use screen protectors surely they´ll attrack fingerprints as well?

Hi,
I ordered the same case (from Ebay).
However, click on the link you have put on ... the case has changed.
And the one that you and I have bought is now £40 more!!
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Brand-Luxur...2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1270338006&sr=1-2
I got mine from ebay for £6.99 (he said he would send it off on the same day so I paid the higher price on ebay to get it quicker but I have not received it yet).
And on ebay it is £60 now! I thought it was a mistake until I checked it out on Amazon!
Is this for reel?

its from the same user, but not exactly the same product, from the pic, the higher price is claimed to be leather, "real leather" so thats why its higher IMO
I would say none of us buy it... 45 pounds is a lot of money for a... case... even be it for the HTC desire... so the price will definitely go down in the next few weeks to a more normal £8-9 pounds for a real leather case.

So the tip of the phone stays out I assume! I don't know how comfortable it is to slide it in and out of this case, but I don't like it, looks like it can scratch the phone from both sides with the edge of the opening.
Anyway, I've used a case with the Hero from Clove, and it's so practical and protective of the phone. A similar one for the Nexus One can be found here.
It should work for the Desire i think.
Edit: The quoted link shows a different case, refer to attachment in post #4

dunno why the price has jumped up so high, i dunno if it's a mistake, or it is real leather and they accidentally put the price low.
What I am saying guys that this case
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Brand-Luxur...7?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1270372814&sr=1-7
use to be about £5-£6
Now look at the price!!! Why the sudden increase? It is almost ten times the price I got it for! ( I still have to receive mine but other people have received theirs!)

I have just got this case from e-bay and it also comes with screen protecter and cloth for under £5

those brown leather dopod pouches can still be purchased for between £6-£7 from "no1accessory" on amazon:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/search/r...0SV&rh=p_4:first2savvv&ie=UTF8&qid=1270382200
If you've moved onto a desire from a G1 like i have, the soft pouch that comes with the G1 is a great fit for the desire.
Just got these screen protectors and they arn't very good, seconds after i put it on there was scratches on there and its very thin.

Epik Gel Case for MT4G

I bought one of these for my MyTouch3G last year, and thought it was the BEST case I've ever had for a phone. I'm desperately wanting one for my MT4G, but haven't found one anywhere online yet. Anyone know where we can get these? I bought mine on eBay for $4.99 and free shipping from Hong Kong, and I got it in less than 2 weeks.
Here's a link to a current eBay auction for the MT3G version so you can see what I'm talking about...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...0&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:US:1123#ht_5478wt_876
I agree, those are the best cases I've used. Had one for my original MyTouch and loved it. Hopefully they will get in gear and make them for the 4G now.
That's like the TPU cases others have mentioned, and been on the lookout for on eBay.
I like how they're flexible, but not plain silicon, and maintain the profile of the phone as much as possible.
I gotta pick up something pretty soon. I'd consider just a Phantom Skinz, but with a 3 year old who loves Angry Birds running around the house I need something that offers some drop protection.

i had been looking for these aswell. i bought one for my curve last yr from this guy. clicked this post in hopes to find that you had found them lol. i sent the seller an email asking about these for the 4g. ill check back in if/when he responds
How well does that case absorb a shock if the phone is dropped? I really like how its molded really well to the body-lines of the phone and doesnt look thick. Let us know asap when you do find out if they sell them yet! Thanks!

Dear cw54o,

weeks
- dcmugen88
That's awesome news about him getting these cases in the next 1-2 weeks. I'm on my second T-Mo case, and I really haven't been too thrilled with them. Way too much money IMO for cases like these, and I'm considering returning/exchanging my newest one (soft rubber sleeve with white plastic backing) because the rubber attracts WAY TOO much dust.
These cases are STILL not available anywhere yet. Total BS!

yeah i knw, i just checked his ebay store and nothing
There's Epik cases on eBay for the HTC HD7, didn't that come out the same day or about the same timeframe as our MT4G? If so, why hasn't there been an Epik case made yet for our phone?
i have no clue, but on a side note tmble has these type of cases at their stores. im tempted to get 2 of them. they have a sale going on 2accessories will land u 20% off and 3 will get u 30% off, but their 20 a peice....
T-Mobile does not carry the Epik branded cases at their stores. They don't have any cases that even come close to the Epik brand.

they arent 'epik' cases BUT they are TPU cases, which is exactly what the epik cases are. they have them for several phones including the mytouch 4g. if i go back ill take a pic and show you. if it werent for the price difference i would have gotten it. but yeah im pretty sure a youtube search would confirm it.

Thanks for the link. Ill be ordering a few. Great prices! i was close to ordering some case on amazon for 24.99 + shipping.
Sucks that these won't be arriving until after xmas though.
Nice! Do you think the epik cases will still fit if you have the CF Chromatics on? My little girl puts a beating on my phone while playing with talking Tom . Ordered anyway, you cant go wrong with the price! Thanks for the heads up fellas!

Are these the bendable gel cases they had for the MT3G? It doesn't really specify that anywhere on his auctions, and the pictures make it look more like a hard plastic or hard gel/plastic case.

Somebody should buy it at full otterbox price and review it though >.>
I am anxious to see how this one is with reviews. I really do not like the idea of the screen protector built into the case, which is not removable (though I may just take a knife to it if I buy it)
I am most interested in the belt holster though, which is pretty much my only reason to be interested in this case. I don't like how the Seido (or whatever...) belt holster case has a giant clip on the top of the phone.

well now that kind of sucks. I guess we can forget about much in the way of protection from spills/liquids. Not alot to set this apart from the commuter now other than belt clip which i wouldn't be using anyway (but i guess given it can be had for the same price as the commuter on amazon one interested may as well get the defender). Pretty disappointing as i was looking forward to a case with pretty comprehensive protection.

Pretty amazing new DROP TEST video (with Cruzerlite case)

is there anyway to get 2 day shipping if i order a case from cruzerlite?? i went on there site but i only see standard shipping? i need a case bad.. no sprint stores have them.. best buy dont have them.. radio shack.. no one has any nexus 5 cases at all.. so i want to order one.. will have to find a family memeber to order for me cause i dont have a bank card anymore..
For my last 3 phones I evertime just had a normal TPU case without any "extra armor" and no phone ever took some damage of falling. This is a great video he made! It shows that for normal daily usage an "armor" case is pretty oversized and a normal TPU layer (like I am going to get from Diztronic for my N5 like I have for my GNex) is absolutely enough protection.
My GNex looks like on the first day I got it (almost 2 years) and I used it first with a very cheap TPU case and then with the Diztronic ones (in this time I dropped the phone lot of times)

There may not be phyical damage, but I used to use a simple tpu case like this with my iphone and even though it didnt look damaged, I did overtime damage lots of internal components. I had to replace, both microphones, front facing camera and charger port. Having something with a little more shock absorption is nice in the long run.

Cruzerlite makes a lot of models--which one, specifically, was used in the video?
I ordered a cruzelite last Tuesday (11/5) and they still haven't sent me shipping info =/

Looks like two models to me, standard tpu (3x style to choose from), or spi-froce. The case in the video looks like a blue Androidified A2, but any of the standard TPU would feature the same protection IMO.

Where did you order from? We ordered from Amazon at like 9PM EST and it shipped out the next day..
Oh wow, I'm glad I decided to use a case from day 1.
I bought the red cruzerlite circuit case.
Unfortunately, cruzerlite cases tend to peel of my screen protector when applied, so I use spigen ultra hybrid instead.
It's a shame because I really like the color.

ordered from their site, i should've ordered from amazon and it would have been here in two days. I swear it's like carrying a baby around. I don't even take it to work I use my nexus 4 there because I am nervous. I got the teal TPU case.

[Q] Leather Back cover to replace plastic

I bought the G4 with plastic back, thinking that I can eventually replace the back with a leather one for less than the $40 difference. So far, I have been unable to find a leather back cover for less than that. The cheapest OEM LG cover on ebay is $60. Crazy right?
Anyway, I am sure as time goes on, there will be more and cheaper options.
Meanwhile, if anyone knows of one, please post here. Again, I am looking to replace the plastic back cover with leather, not applying a leather protector case on top. With G4 slightly larger than G3, I find it really bulky and ugly to add anything to it. I will most likely just use it naked with a screen protector.
Mobile Fun has brown and black for pre-order for $50. I think over at AC someone posted that LG might officially be releasing leather backs as early as tomorrow.
An LG rep told me that they will be selling leather cases starting Monday.

Thanks. But I don't think they are worth more than $40, which is what LG wants for them if you buy the one with the leather back. I might be willing to pay $20, but ideally around $10. I know, I am cheap...
Lol...I paid 70 after shipping for my red on on eBay.

Any more info on the backs straight from LG?
Nothing that I've heard yet. Once It gets it a little later in the day here in Cali I'll text my LG rep see what she says about them.

Why no black?!?! Y u do dis LG?!?!?!?! :crying:
Just ordered my 2 for 1.
Shipping is free so I'm getting 2 leather backs for $76.02 including tax.
they may get cheaper in the future but I don't care.
I have the deep blue verizon variant and I ordered the red leather and the yellow leather.
I know the yellow could get dirty, but I'll only use that on certain occasions.
According to web site, they'll be shipped on 6/26.

I didn't like the leather cases. Plus I use a case to protect the sides. So relevant. I got the white back. I love it.
So they're doing 2 cases for the price of one, but I only want one case. Anyone (who doesn't mind getting a Verizon model*) want to go in with me? I'll get two cases, and send you one for half of what I pay plus whatever it costs me to ship it to you. (Bonus if you're in the Chicago area and we can do this in person.)
*LG asks for carrier. I'm guessing that just means some kinda branding, but it's barely possible that brand has something to do with how the case fits. I'm on VZW so I'll be specifying that on the cases when ordering.

I'd be up for that deal. I have the black leather VZW variant, and would enjoy a red leather back to swap out on occasion.
why only in US.

Heads up - a few OEM black leather cases just popped up on ebay for $34, cheaper than the BOGO deal. Search for item 251989020528.
Personally I think I will still hold out for the $10 price point. But it's nice to see a quick drop in prices on these...

I just bought that. Let's see how the quality is and how genuine.

Very interested to hear what you think of it. My completely uninformed guess was that LG's would be higher quality. But I'd love to be proved wrong.
