Looks nice, but could we fold the cover flap fully to the back, in case we want to hold the tab in book reading mode
I just ordered one of those from amazon.
Bad thing is that for me, shipping was even more expensive (15$) than the cover itself (14$)...
I think you can fold the cover flap fully to the back, in case you want to hold the tab in book reading mode. Take a look at a video on youtube about this case, but ipad version. Search for "Review: Acase Slim Leather Folio Case with Stand for iPad 2".
doesn't look like it. there's no crease on the front cover like the ipad case i have.
i bought one earlier and it should be here next week. now i'll have a matching set for my ipad, gt7 and gt10.1.

Aw man, didn't see that. If only it is a mistake with the pictures and the cover we receive is OK... I think that crease helps you type on the best position. Well, you know better that you have the I pad version.
you can rest the bottom on the "latch" and put in a slightly upraised position. i just find it a little too bouncy when doing that while typing.
I have the same case for my 7" Galaxy Tab and am very happy with it. The quality is that of a much more expensive case. If I had not already bought another case I would be picking one of these up.
Unless I am seeing it wrong in the photos the problem with this case is that you have to constantly detach it from the BOTTOM HALF of the TAB to use it in a tilted position. This is how that $90 Zenus brand carbon fiber case I bought and returned worked. It was a real PITA plus it will eventually wear the paint off the tab.
i prefer that than the extra thickness (like belkin folio case). i haven't had any chipping or scratching on either of my other tablet's yet, but i did bend all those tabs a bit after getting them to make it easier to pull out. i even loosened the cover latches a bit too.

That is the case I got from Best Buy today. I compared it to the silicone one they had for $21 but I ended up with this one because it seems more durable and if you lay the phone on the screen the case lifts the screen off the surface its laying on to help protect the screen as well.
I think $32 out the door was a little pricey, but to protect my new phone it is definitely worth it.
They were sold out by the time I got there. I really wanted the one with the clip. Can't find them now. They are made by Seido from what I am hearing which they sell for $49.99 so it's a pretty good deal and solid imo.
can we get some pics? the product wasn't displayed good on there site
it's a great case. The insides are felt lined & padded. Also I had no problem slipping it in w/ the invisashield. The back of the case goes slightly past the camera lens so the phone isn't laying on it. Then there is a very small lip on the front to keep the screen from resting on a surface. A pretty solid case to use for now until more people start manufacturing for in. Hopefully serpent cases make something for this

its literally the same as the seido case that someone else posted a topic about. look at that topic and thres pictures and in the general section someone posted a video review of the seido case.
the best buy platinum case is just a re-branded seido case.
I had purchased it because a sales rep told me it was a part of the $30 bundle with the car charger and invisible shield. At the register it turns out that the rep gave me the wrong case and I bought it anyways. Early today I got my max coverage Invisible Shield installed and returned that case along with the Shield they had sold me.
The case is decent looking, definitely much better than most of the cases out now. I hope this phone gets the kind of variety in accessories that the iPhone does.

I think this specific case is different unless the picture Best Buy is using is incorrect. The cut outs are different. Also, Seidio themselves said in another forum that Best Buy has a Platinum Series case not made by them.
If the OP can post some pics we'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
There are two different Platinum Series case designs for the EVO @ Best Buy sold 3 different ways. The have the Seidio style horizontal split by itself, Seidio style with holster, and one styled like the Bodyglove case (vertical split). I picked up the Bodyglove style case - it's "rubberized" all the way around and felt lined inside.
:S thats expensive why dint you go to sprint? the body glove for the evo looks awesome I saw it at best buy and i dint like the back cover while the one in sprint i was and it was like 24 dollars.. and online its 19.99

bsim85 posted a tiny pic, but here are some large ones:
It's OK. I've still got the original "screen protector" on my phone because I haven't tried it at work (I'm not going to open the Invisible Shield or 16GB memory card I bought until I verify the phone works everywhere I need it to, but the case comes in a resealable package so no worries there).
The back of the case is hard and has felt lining inside. The front part of the case (it splits around the edge of the device like the Body Glove) is more rubbery. It comes apart the same was as the Body Glove, with a coin in a corner slot. The camera lens is recessed a couple of millimeters from the edge of the case. When on it's back the case rests not on the overall rubberized surface but on the smooth edges of the case around the camera opening and the bottom ports so it could still slide around in your car this way. Will I keep it long term? Probably not. Will it suffice until something better comes along? Yes.
EDIT...
I should note that the case doesn't look as blue-grey in real life as it does in the pictures.
I bought the case at Best Buy and it's great. Radioshack had Zaggs for $15 plus the 20% off accessories if you got it in the morning. I got the case at Best Buy and it's excellent. A bit pricey, but one of the better cases I've seen. Plus the silicon cases sometimes get caught up in your pocket and harder to pull out.

Is this A EVO case?
cause it seems to have more cut outs in the side pic than the EVO has buttons on the side.
yeah, i went to BB on friday and there was a sign showing that the Platinum case, the invisashield screen protector, and a rocket dog car charger were on sale all together for $45.
the case is overall is very nice, i like how the screen is recessed and how the case does not get stuck in your pocket like a silicone case does.
i think it was a good deal for the money, seeing as how i needed car charger because the hero uses a mini usb port.

I bought one from BB (with holster for $34.99 (giftcard)), and it def doesn't look like that. Mine's a much more rubbery look / feel. It's black. The cut-out's on yours seem much more prominent and I don't have one on the lower right side (why is one even there? just the phone volume on the upper part of the right side...).

I got slider case instead of the snap case. Reason being if you drop your phone on a corner, the slider case isn't going to split open like an egg leaving the yolk (EVO) splattered on the ground.

I dont know what Seidio is trying to pull but on the inside of the fake phone cutout (on the Platinum) it clearly states Seidio, Inc, Houston Texas.
Plus, I ordered a Innocase II and compared the two side by side. They are identical. Save you cash and buy the Platinum.

As I stated previously there are (2) different case designs from Best Buy - one like the Seidio Innocase and one like the Body Glove. The one I pictured is indeed for the EVO (it came with a "fake" cardboard EVO inserted in it). The "extra" port cutout you're seeing is how you take it off the phone - you insert a coin and twist it to pop the two halves apart (JUST like the Body Glove case).
Looks like the iPad case, but leather and only $17.99 with free shipping on eBay.

The case showed up today from the eBay seller and I have to say I'm quite pleased.
It's fairly sturdy, holds the tablet snugly in place with a velcro strap, has perfectly aligned openings for the camera, charging port, headphone jack etc., has all the other features of an iPad case like folding up to incline for typing or watching movies and when closed it's held shut with hidden magnets.
I've put all the pictures I took of the case into an album for those of you who are looking for a case.

Nice, thank you so much for the amazing pictures.
So when it's shut down it doesn't open up by mistake? The magnets attach to the tablet itself?
It's certainly the best price for this type of case.... now I am torn between this one and the official book sleeve case (which is $ 60!)

No, when it's closed it stays shut and is very solid. The magnets are in the edges of the flap that closes and in the part that covers the bezel of the tablet (right where the front-facing camera is).
Because of how sleek and light the GT10.1 is I didn't want a case that would add too much bulk like the ones I've seen for the XOOM. As long as it holds together this case fits the bill perfectly and I don't see myself replacing it
Nice find! Wish I would of read this thread earlier. For the $17.99 price with free shipping why not? Personally I'd raise that price if I were them!
This is actually Polyurethane (PU) and not leather. But I'm sure you all assumed that given the price

It's the "PU" that scares me. I got a "PU" case for my Nook Color and it stunk so bad I had to leave it outside. P.U.! It smelled like dead meat.

I've been using mine for a week now and I'm quite happy with it, especially for the price I paid.
When using it as a stand, it's not the most stable unless you arrange it so that you're viewing it "upside-down" but it'd be fine as long as it's on a stable surface.
Weight?
Do you have the specs on the weight of this case? I want one that is *really* *really* light to go with the low weight of the gtab
This a nice find. I will definitely keep this in mind.

I really like this case.
I currently have the belkin slim folio case but I find very hard to insert and take the tab out because the case is very tight and its material generates too much friction.
Is it hard to insert and take the tab out from this case?
Thanks!

I just bought one based on your review. Thanks for posting this. It seems like the best case for the money so far. How many days did it take from ordering till you received it? I'm hoping to have it before camping this weekend.
Also, it has to be unfolded to be charged correct?
Hm... this looks like a nice case for carrying the tab around. I actually got a soft gel (TPU) case just to be able to throw the tablet around at home since I already have a screen protector. And I like how it's texturized on the sides for better grip.

Will keep this case cover in mind though. Looks nice enough.
Any good recommendations? I'm not a big fan of magnet on cases and seems most reasonably priced (<$30) folio style cases have magnet strip.

Can't post link as of yet, but go to Amazon and type in "Acase Samsung 10.1 case". Its full name is "Acase Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1 High Quality Premium Slim Leather Case Folio"
This is the case I ordered. It's got good customer reviews. It's non magnet and around the price point you mentioned.

Got this instead from pcmicrostore.com. Amazon cells it too but pcmicro has 20% off tablet accessory code 20OFFTABLET so turned out to be cheaper. Also got a screen protector there. I prefer that case over Acase for a little more protection. Also it's genuine leather. $26 shipped.
Thanks for the heads up on the coupon code. I had been on the fence on a case and this sealed the deal for me. You just saved me $8. Thanks!

I got one of these and sent it back. Aside from the horrible smell of the material they use to make it the stand function was very limited and you have to unsnap the bottom clips that hold the tab to the case to fold it back to stand it up. Eventually that will probably scratch the paint off the corners of the tab. It did fit well.
I have the Acase and the bottom things aren't even clips. More like rests and it will not rub the paint off. The tab is held by only the top four clips. The only problem with this case is lack of a hole for the charger when closed. My case did not have smell and if it did I think a lil spray of febreeze or your favorite cologne could take care of that. Also the case has 4 angles to choose from so I don't think that the stand is limited.
I posted a review and pics of the case in the big cases thread going.

Agreed. I just received my case and there's no foul odor. It smells like what leather is supposed to smell (even which you'd have to literally put your nose up to the case to get any smell).
The case fits perfectly and the material is very nice. The only minor grip I have is that the lowest angle is a little too steep for a comfortable typing. It does work well on a table, but not so well lying down in bed. The ipad 2 version of the exact same case has a bend in the front side which allows an angle for more comfortable typing. I don't know why Acase got rid of that position for this version, but I'm sure they have their reasons.

Mine smelled like a dead meat. The whole room where I opened it smelled. My wife thought the cat died. If that's what leather is supposed to smell like I'm gonna sell my truck, couch and the cow grazing in my garage. Obviously I got a bad one. It also felt more like vinyl than fine corinthian leather.
As for the bottom clips (or whatever they were) folding back a third of the case to stand it up wasn't my idea of good design.
You are of course entitled to your opinion. My opinion is the "official" Samsung case, for the few bucks extra, is much better designed, better fitted and less odoriferous.
Still can't charge with the case closed on the official case. The official case has fewer resting positions and the little flap that holds it in place is prone to fall out in the upright position. Because Samsung wanted the case to be thin, they sacrificed good padding around the tab.
I find it hard to believe your case smelt like "a dead meat". I got the Acase for $20 shipped so the Samsung is a lil' more than a few bucks more.

Well, after spending $600 on the tablet, I guess $22 more seemed to me as "just a little." As far as how my case "smelt" I'm not concerned whether you believe it or not. Since Amazon got it back it's now their concern.
i have found this case at ebay for galaxy note and would like to hear your oppinion about it? maybe anyone has it and can leave some feedback
ebay link http://www.ebay.com/itm/Leather-Cas...ccessories&hash=item3371580d09#ht_5270wt_1270
I have the brown one and it looks elegant but mine doesn't fit well. I mean, I can hear some squeaking when I press on both sides and honestly it bothers me sometimes. I don't know if it's just mine though. The texture feels great and it protects the four corners of the phone, which in my opinion are the areas most likely to hit the ground first if you drop them. It's not stitched and I feel that overtime the sides might separate. I have not tried the free screen protector because I'm not into screen protectors at all. I just really like feeling the glass when I swipe, lol.
I've got a black one, really nice quality
was half the price of the samsung cover (well in New Zealand anyway...)
and much nicer, covers the back perfectly and protects from drops all around and looks really stylish. No magnets or clips to haggle with for flipping the cover.
Its true its not stitched around the corners which gives in a potential to separate, but it seems like a very thick kind of rubber type sealant edging, not cheap superglue type stuff, so very flexible and shouldnt seperate unless you bend it in ways it shouldnt go.
I've had mine for a couple of months and stick it in my pocket everyday, flip the cover over fully to the otherside all the time for holding/calling, got a nice felt material inside on the screen side of the cover, plastic holder for the phone but holds the phone very well but you can still get the phone out easily if needed.
The cover sits perfectly flat on the phone (standard back cover on my phone probably wont fit one of those non-oem aluminium covers which are slightly thincker I believe)
Arrived in a couple of weeks from an ebay seller in Hong Kong I think..
I recommend it! and hey, its only a few bucks so no big loss if its not your exact preference
thank you guys for very well-explained feedback samsung original flip cover cost same price as this cover, so i prefer buying this verus cover instead samsung flip

If you mean if the front cover can easily flip to the back of the note I'd say yes and you could actually squeeze it flat not like the free flip cover that it leaves an extra front cover out the side so you can't really hold it flat comfortably. Also, the logo in the flip cover leaves a mark on the screen, but not really a biggy. It's either dirt or moisture because of the concavity, I'm not really sure. You can wipe it off easily though. I have mine for just a couple of weeks so maybe that'll disappear over time. And I agree, it's a good case for the price and you won't regret getting it.
I've attached some pictures for reference.
And a few more.

thank you very much
Went comes to any of my android devices, I am partial to cases that protect rather than covers that are thin and pretty. For S3 I have the Poetic TurtleSkin Galaxy Tab S3 9.7 silicon cover and am happy with it. The only drawback I see is that it doesn't have an S-Pen holder. In my last tablet (10.1 2014 edition, the pen could be stored on the tablet). What I am looking for here are solutions, hacks or hints that allow me to store my S-Pen with/or on my silicon encased Samsung Galaxy S3 at all times when I'm not using it. Any ideas?
I bought a Microsoft surface pen loop, which sticks to the case.

I'm buying a MoKo "Defender" case because I'm paranoid of actually dropping the blasted thing and breaking the back panel. Not sure if it has an accessory for S-Pen but guess will know when it arrives.
For s-pen Moko Tab S3 Case (folio) has a loop.
I aimed for the SUPCASE.. Should get it soon

Got this case in today. Will post photos later.
The plastics are a mix of shiney/slippery surface on the kickstand (ugly implementation but I didn't buy it for that), it's not as "rough" textured or rubbery like the photo would suggest (even the sides aren't). It will slide around but not as much as using it bareback glass. Might wind up putting felt padding on it. The screen protector uses that glue-snot that's commonly used on non-permanent labels and whatnot, so it was easy to remove. I'm not really going to complain about a cheap case that sorta-kinda copies a design Otterbox would have used (and not have to pay $100 for it).
Oh, and it doesn't have felt padding on the inside like the folio case (doesn't need it) or an S-pen thingy (need to get your own tethering device).

I know I didn't really have a chance to review/photograph this thing (I wish I had) but it was actually quite rugged and big. I'd buy it again for the Tab S4 once I decide whether I'll buy that or not -- covers on the headphone and USB-C ports are decent, and better material than Otterbox uses. Nice soft insulator on the inside if you do drop it, and fits tightly on with no slipping. It did not block any part of the screen. The photos aren't accurate since it's clearly a computer image but the back stand was more a glossy plastic and the case itself was proper black not grey like in the photo. I find these cases with stands to be lacking. I wish these case manufacturers would make a hinge so the whole back folds out for lap use since the majority of what I'd like to do with this is on transit, or in bed watching TV or playing games on. The hinge felt a little cheap to boot, as though it would break after a certain amount of insertions back into the frame.
