[Review] Official Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Folio Case - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories

Yes most may not even know this exists, but I got my hands on one of these, needless to say I'm totally loving this.
The case is made out of a rexine like material, feels great in the hands and has a very grippy feel to it.

The Tab clips on to the tab quite securely so you have a peace of mind there. It also has two step vertical inclinement steps to let you hold the tab in place while you use a hardware keyboard to make your typing easy. But what if you prefer laying your tablet at a lesser angle, closer to the surface? never mind this case has that covered as well, the back of the case has a pop out stand to allow you to do so.
​
It does how ever quite much to the weight (not sure how much) but doesn't seem to add much to the thickness. the tablet still feels great to handle.
Short review - I'd give a 8/10 for the whole experience, I'm also willing to answer any question that one may have regarding this case.
More pics of the Case

OK, it looks great but where do a get one and how much is it?

Honestly I'm not sure, I got it along with the Galaxy Tab 10.1 when I bought it - I was told it is the "Premium Cover" and it was free for everyone who bought it when they pre-booked it

Wait, how is it different from the book case that already has 5 page thread here?

because this isn't the Book case, its a folio case - check the additional pics - its way different !

How come your tab says Samsung on it? My bezel is all black with no Samsung on it. Is that the lte?

Just a note... I'm not sure this is an official case. The first model Samsung made had a thicker profile, which was shortly replaced after with the current one.

No this was specifically made for Tab 10.1 - I was told it is only for people who prebook the device in this region. I'm not sure if they are selling the case separately.

You have the USA model. Rest of the world generally gets a Samsung on the front.

I want this case. It looks like a folio version of the bookcover case. Anyone know where to find these?

Same here! I want!

Does it have some sort of snap-shut mechanism when in the closed position?

I have found a replica for this case. It's on Gmarket (English Version) and it's called the Anymode VIP Case. It comes in 4 different colors (green seems hard to find). It is around $70 shipped! I'm still considering it as I'm scared of its weight. Looks a bit on the heavy side despite of the descriptions.

Nope, there is no snap shut mechanism in closed position.

Yes it does add to the weight, but not a lot - at least for the official folio case, can't say the same for the Anymode case

Any way I can get a discount for doing an in-depth review?! I would love to own this case as it seems to answer all my needs. But forking over $70 is a bit too rich for me. =/

I just bought my Galaxy tab 10.1 4 days ago from Dubai UAE and I got the exact same folio case for free. I have a GT-P7500 3G/wifi.

How can we get this case now in the states? This is pretty much the ideal case IMO.

[Q] Cases for the 10.1

Are there any cases for the thin 10.1 tablet available?
I'm getting my tablet mid of june.
None that I've seen yet. I saw an unboxing video of a case, but I think that is for the chubby 10.1v. I want a case, but don't want to cover up my little androids on back. lol

Oh. Okay
I'm going to go to best buy today and see if any ipad sleeves will work
We're probably going to have to wait until the tab is officially released before we can get a proper case but if I can just get a cloth sleeve now I'll be happy
Yeah, I'm worried that the seller messed up and forgot to put a 'v' after 10.1. It will arrive this week. Worse case scenario is it will sit loose in the case which can be fixed with some quick modifications. But just mainly something to have until manufacturers start selling cases. (Then return for a refund...)
Does anyone know if there's a way to get insurance for the device? (Will squaretrade provide w/o a purchase receipt?)

also hoping the amazon one isnt for the chubby version.
Cant wait to get this thing in a case...
There is a company making a Melko brand leather book case that looks promising, but it also is a photo of the chubby one. Ive emailed them asking if it has been redesigned.. Lets see what they say..
I got the Acme Slick Case from Best Buy. It's not perfect but it works okay and for 15 dollars you can't complain. I figure it will do me until some custom made cases come out.
http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product...spx?path=acafc0b74bca603fcb15b1e5c38b547aen02
Looks nice, but still waiting for some more cases
i ddecided to go with a belkin 10" neoprene sleeve off of Amazon for $8. It is a bit too big, but it does protect the tab and you can fold it in half, prop the top of the tab up and type in an angle.
I'm a fan of sleeves (as opposed to form fitting cases), and I hunted up one of these at Best Buy yesterday. It's very well made and fits perfectly.
Just got my case in the mail today, works beautifully. has 5 cc slots on side and a big pocket for whatever you may need it for.
might return this when Zagg comes out with a case (as mentioned in another thread), but for now this will do perfectly.

quietglow, thanks for the heads up. I just went out and picked up same sleeve, fits great and I really like that it doesn't look like a computer related accessory.
I'm the guy who sent his GT-P7510 to Zagg. Judging from their other offerings, i would expect just an invisiblesheld not a case.

Looks like it fits nicely, how tight is it secured in there given that it seems it may have been for the thicker version.

Galaxy Note Stand

I bought an IPad stand for my 7 inch Galaxy Tab P1000 and although it is a bit big it supports the Tab in portrait and landscape mode and allows the free flow of air around the Tab which helps to keep it cool and the viewing angle can also be adjusted.
I've discovered a similar stand for the IPhone which I think would also work in the same way for the Galaxy Note but can only find one UK supplier (see link below) but it is not in stock. Does anyone know anywhere else this stand can be bought in the UK?
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/universal-smart-stand-for-mobile-phones-p32691.htm
Oh wow, that stand is epic. I was thinking of getting a case with a stand but this is wonderful.
Found it here too: http://shop.brando.com/universal-smart-istand_p6460c359d66.html
By searching for SMISC015500

The stand is now in stock and I've ordered one.

I ordered a spiderpodium

Not sure if the arms will be able to fit around the Note but if not I will give to my GF for her Galaxy S.
I ordered from brando.com and they just shipped it out, so perhaps try from there (not to mention it's cheaper there)

I'm using this, great for movies.
I use the SGP Kuel stand and I love it!

Yep, I have one too. Love it.
Just like with my SGS2, the Samsung's spare battery charger for the Note is simple, light, convenient for carrying a spare battery, and works great as a stand--vertical or horizontal. It's a proportionally larger version of the same SGS2 accessory.
Nice. I like the stand in the OP. Ordered from Brando as did others, cheaper and in stock, any idea how long they take to deliver to the UK...?

Looks nice, but it weighs as much as a regular phone!
Here's a super lightweight one:
http://pocketnow.com/how-to/how-to-build-a-phone-stand-with-a-business-card
I actually use the flip cover as a stand. I have attached a lanyard to the speaker grille and the flip cover nestles in an indent on the lanyard.
It just occurred to me that the Tetrax X-way, which I bought for my car, would be quite functional as a phone stand. I suppose the rubber is a bit too soft and it'll get smashed up though.

I have just received my stand from Mobile Fun and it is amazing. The quality and design are unbelievably good and it is great for holding the Note horizontal for viewing Web pages or movies. I sit mine on a high level fold-up table and it looks just like a miniature tablet.
Got an email from brando, mine has been shipped!

What kind of material is touching the phone? Is it the black color one? Is the black much softer (like silicone) Does the white hard material ever touch the phone? Reason I ask is I've found the hard plastic cases will scratch a phone if a little dust gets in there but if they have a soft lining of silicone it's OK.

I remember a problem on the old casemates was the rubber part that extends up the sides would go floppy and start to pull away from the phone (since it has no real support to keep it tight). Did they fix that? Do you have/know of a pic of the inside of the case without the phone? I didn't see one in your other thread.
thanks
Ill have to take it off when i get a chance but it fits very nice. I think the fact all the carries will have the same phone size wise is gona help out alot

Good question. I'm hunting for cases this weekend, and this is at the top of my list. I'll post here if I see the POP! anywhere.
I've had mine for a few days now. The case itself is great, but the kickstand is basically flimsy plastic and I'm very unimpressed with it. Given that the kickstand was the primary reason for my getting it, I expect to switch to the Seidio Active case when it is available, given that it will have a metal kickstand. I can't emphasize enough how flimsy the Pop! kickstand feels.
this is the top of my list also followed by otterbox commuter.

NEW! Galaxy Nexus Metal Skin Frame Bumper--Verizon Compatible

Hey everyone, i was going through Ebay and noticed that they finally got a new design
for that aluminum bumper case they've been selling. I've seen this one before in another
thread but there was never a link for us to purchase. This case seems to be a lot thinner
than the previous Aluminum bumper. I already purchased a silver one.

What do y'all think?
looks good let us know how it goes .
seems to me it would fit an extended battery
But I don't see how the cover fits on !
They do look nice and hopefully someone can get some pics of them on their Nexus's. And hopefully they do fit the Verizon version. I know Aluminum bumpers dont have any give in them and thats why they have been incompatible before so hope the description is accurate.
I'm assuming that the case is a snap on. I was looking at some of the Cruzer Lite cases, but I think this will be a decent replacement for about the same price.

The case itself is two pieces but I think its more of a slip on bumper than a snap on. You can refer to this post to check out a review.

Are you sure these work for the Verizon version? I couldn't find any info that would point to that on the ebay page :/

Um... you do realize that the VZW version is thicker right?
I've found that people will list the Verizon Model in the item name but sell accessories that do not fit the Verizon model.
For example, I bought this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/30070173227...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_2978wt_1275
Not noticing the description said:
"Galaxy Nexus CDMA SCH-i515, Galaxy Nexus GSM i9250"
And ended up with a case that didn't fit properly. When I messaged them about it they said I ordered the wrong thing regardless of how the item was named.
As a result I tend to look in the description for the specific word Verizon before I get anything.
If the one you get fits that'd be great. This is just a heads up if anything

Don't shoot the messenger, i'm just telling you what i saw on the post. I do realize that, i work in the cell industry. Relax..
Hey joey. Good find. Let us know when you get it if it does indeed fit, I'm actually really interested to see if it would. I'm also wondering if it would fit extended batteries based on the fact that it appears to be more of a bumper than a case.

According to the initial review thread of this Aluminum Bumper it fits Verizon Galaxy Nexus perfectly well.

Fits great (verizon) aside from the buttons.. but I can deal with that USB works fine .. haven't tried a headset yet.. GPS locked in about 45-60 seconds with airplane mode on. 15-30 seconds with airplane mode off.

The ones from that thread might not be the same cases as the one mentioned in the OP. Just have to wait and see to test it out and confirm if they fit the Verizon version

The case on the picture is exactly the same. The cutouts and sliding mechanism are the same all the way. It's just good to see those bumpers are now available without direct export. Enjoy them they look good in real.
Looks pretty neat. I'm wondering if it affects the phone's signal. $15...I'd like to review it but kinda expensive for a case.
Most people had issues with GPS after using this case. I thought I remember hearing it messed with cell signal as well, but I can't remember; if you do a search you can see that these are not worth it.

I'm not sure but, I'm currently working with the seller in getting a review sample for anyone that is interested. I should have a video up in the next two weeks depending on the shipping. I'll definitely look into the cell and GPS once it comes in!

Anyone seen gimmick five slim "smart cover"

Has anyone out there heard or seen of these things. I was looking for a. Tpu. Or silicone case when I came accross these. I'm wondering what kind of build quality they have.

you dont have one? why did you call it a rip off then? just curious...it looks like a good case to me.
I have been looking at these and whilst I think it's great they are so slim I am a little concerned that if I remove the Note the back will be covered in the glue? Can anyone who has one please confirm? Thanks.
Mature name of the thread... not. Ask your dad to buy one for you and let us know what you think.
That's why I love xda. Is it wrong to find out if someone out there owns one and what its like. I don't mean ripoff money wise. I mean copy of crapple smart cover. Im not a kid and my dad is dead btw thanks. In the one video it shows them remove it from the sticky and show it won't stick to the case. So I'm not sure what it would do to the tablet pretty much why I asked.

No biggie tubgirl u just caught me by surprise with that. Sorry about being off topic but I guess I never thought of it being a big deal. A lot of cases resemble a "smart cover" but I've never seen one that is this close to being the same. To anyone offended I'll change the post.

The maker of the videos is located in Hong Kong, so I assume its a product from overseas, and although I'm willing to buy one I find it interesting, that the only place I see the Wraplette is on YouTube. There is no other mention of it other than videos. No place to buy it or a review of it. zip nada nothing.

You're absolutely correct ... but I have to laugh about someone who took their username from one of the most disgusting shock videos to ever grace the internet correcting someone else's netiquette.
Cool thanks for the info. Did u buy it on eBay?

I ordered the Gimmick Five a week ago (see this post). Hopefully I'll get the cover within the next week or two.
I'm just looking for something slim that will protect the Note against scratches while I wait for a better case. On the video it looks like magnets are used to lock the cover in closed position... I would have prefered an elastic band instead and not having the cover wrap around the edge to the back side.
Well well... we'll se what it's like when I get it.

PS. I've emailed Belkin asking them to make their fine Slim Folio Case for the Note 10.1 as well. A friend of mine has it for the iPad 2 and the case is awesome. To get in contact with Belkin I used this link and supplied the Youtube link as reference. I suggest everyone else do the same and maybe they'll listen to us.

minewas bought on ebay. I made an offer that they could'nt refuse...lol! It's been shipped already. Just waiting now.
Ill shoot belkin an email. That case seems pretty nice I just don't care for the bezel being covered. I say that never owing a case for my tablets like that. How much did it sell for in the Ipad version

Well if you don't want the bezel to be covered (I do) then you can just go for the Belkin Cinema Case for the Galaxy Note 10.1. Good materials used and nice finish I think.

Here's a video review of it... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_ymHTmbXGc
Personally however I prefer the bezel to be covered (even better protection).

I tried the Belkin case in the store. Feels very cheap and flimsy, especially for the price.

Ok, well then it must be very different from the iPad version which I think has very nice quality. If by flimsy you mean the opposite to stiff well then that's a good think imho.

So you guys are going to (semi) permanently glue your Note's to a case?
"Magic tape -- allows adhesive to the device firmly and removal the device hassle-freely without any mark of glue."
Yeah, no.
Ugh... this doesn't look good at all!!

So now we know that magnets really should be avoided on cases for the Note 10.1. As I wrote in an earlier post I would have preferred an elastic strap instead.
