I just found this free with shipping and on sale for $5.99
It's exacly what I was loocking for since I got my captivate.
I just wanted to share, because at that price...
I will let you know when I get the case how I feel about it.
PS: by thye way on this website, use the coupon HIT5 for an aditionnal 5% off
NICE FIND! I just ordered one myself as well. It should hold me over until Amzer and others start releasing their products!
Thinking about getting one. Please let us know how it works out for you.
Just ordered two. One for my Car mount and one for just the phone.
That's funny I just ordered 2 as well with the same coupon code and just stumbled on this post. I got a black and a smoke color one (not listed on their site but emailed them). They have the exact same photos as Amzer so I assume they are the same thing or the same supplier.
Order one with 5% coupon code: hit5
good find!
Thanks! I just ordered 1
Just posted this same link earlier in a different topic...good find on the 5% discount though! Thanks! Just ordered mine! Glad I hadn't pulled the trigger on it yet!
17 freaking dollars shipping 1 of these to canada. wtf? (on top of the cost)
i can get almost anything with free shipping from hong kong, but from the united states? its always double digits.
Thanks. I'm in for one. I'll use this one till a better one is released.
Is this a hard shell with a rubber coating, or a stretchy rubber only case?
For the price, I'd wager stretchy silicone.
just a heads up that they have clear and pink also. (but i can't post links yet)
I ordered mine on 8/5 and it is still showing processing. Anyone elses ship yet?
I ordered mine on 8/4 and have the same processing message. I am wondering if this place actually had them in stock or is waiting for stock like places like Amzer. Had I known this place would delay I may not have placed the order. Especially since the site (and the postings on Ebay) claim that orders are sent within one business day.

nice find! will definitely work better for a temp car mount than the stupid iPhone 4 case I'm using now - scares me everytime I press a button on the phone that its gonna come flying off at me, even while connected to the USB charging cable! used the coupon code and it works, saved 30 cents, woohoo!
I received today!

Looks like the standard silicone and rubberized texture hard case. Hope they work out for you.
I have the black hard cover one and a d30 one. The hard cover one is garbage. Cheap paint was used and the two pieces don't attatch very well leaving a gap and making the case prone to detach quite easily. if you have the same issues let us know. I'll be going back to the d30 case.

I'm interested to see how you like the first one you listed. I picked one up and it never stayed snapped together. I'm curious if I just got one of the bad ones or if they all just suck.
I can confirm the first one is trash and doesn't fit at all.
Same here. My rubberized hard case. Did. Not. Attach correctly.. I thought it was due to the invisibleshield.

It would have been a really nice case if it did fit.
I ordered a case from that same seller as the black case & it didn't fit either. I emailed them about it & they said there had been a manufacturing error & their molds were off. They offered me two black TPU cases to make up for it, but we'll just see if those fit...
Mine hasn't showed yet. The black tpu case is here, but I don't like the loose fitment.

The hard case seller refunded my money and told me they had a factory defect.

same thing happened to me for the hard case. the seller says that they're getting new ones in 1-2 weeks and i'll get a free replacement. i'll report back on how those fit.
So I recently bought the official book cover case from Amazon (it was listed as new). I feel a little underwhelmed by the case after getting it in the mail. Its a nice looking case but the build quality doesn't seem up to par. I'm afraid I might have been sold a counterfeit. The front piece is a soft rubber/plastic cover with the magnetic flap and seems to be easily scratched as it already has some scuffs on it straight out of the box. The corner parts on the front cover are slightly deformed. The front and back pieces seem to be sloppily glued together. I think mine is also missing the rubber feet behind the magnetic flap because it has a hard time standing up as an easel. I was wondering if anyone else that has this case could tell me how your case is. Mine did come in the official Samsung packaging but I'm not sure if it's 100% legit. The model number on the box shows EF-C980NBECSTD.
Sort of looks fake to me. My book cover doesn't have any of the flaws your pictures seem to highlight. Especially the crooked Samsung logo on the flap. Samsungs build quality could've gone down I suppose, tho it does look odd.

where is the hole for the powerbutton? Also the spot where theheadphones plug in is different from mine. Just checked my model number and it is EFC-1B1NBECCAN. Also my packaging has a holographic sticker that says samsung original. Then again this could be because its sold in canada.

Agree, this one is totally fake from china. Now im using it as well with white black color with 18$ price. Quality is not so good.

Also looks fake to me. Mine is of much higher quality than that one appears to be. The cut is also slightly different. If you paid significantly less than $50, I guarantee it's a fake.
My package also had a Samsung hologram sticker.
I have a general recommendation for buying from Amazon, especially with electronics and accssories, which is to buy from Amazon (or fulfilled by Amazon) only. You are unlikely to get counterfeit product that way and also have a much easier time sending it back if you do.

I have a 8.9 Tab, but the box for my book case also had a Samsung hologram sticker.
Yeah Bro that's a counterfit galaxy tab case.
The cut out where the headphone port is, has this inch long to two inches long slit. That has to pieces of rubber touching each other to act as a little headphone cord holder mechanism. Also the Galaxy tab branding on the bottom corner doesn't look like it's the same font size or font as mine. That sucks bro I'd report the person or company you got it from, if you were to look at a real case side by side with yours you can see the difference.
I compared your photos with my case... Certainly this is a fake. I'm sorry.

I just bought one of these for $42 from an amazon vendor and it was "fulfilled by amazon". Not only was mine a fake, but I also got one that someone else had returned. The package was all scuffed up and the cellophane wrapping was half ripped off. The camera cut out was not properly aligned (there was plastic covering part of the hole) and the rubber feet were falling off.
I did not know about these phoney rip-off cases before I read this thread. But I called amazon and complained, and to their credit they refunded my money. So since it was essentially free, I got out my Drumel and fixed the camera opening, re-glued the feet, cleaned it up a bit, and made it usable. At least it does seem to fit okay, and while it's not as great as having the "real thing", now that I've doctored it, it'll do.
Be careful when buying from unknown venders, even when the order is fulfilled by amazon. This vender was "Go Shuki" of "Shuki International". Surprisingly, they have a 4.4 star rating out of 5, but they only have 283 total ratings. Still, no way to tell they were going to try to rip me off. (Well, maybe if I had looked at their store front, I might have noticed that what this company specializes in is selling fake perfume. That may have been a tip-off. ) I wonder how many others who trust Amazon.com have been victomized by these shady venders.
But Amazon treated me right, so I'm still a fan of theirs.

That's a shame, but it does look fake. I bought mine believe it or not at a local Toys 'R' Us today. I must admit the quality is amazing and I'm loving it. I bought it on sale for $49.99. I was going to buy one online but I'm glad I waited and didn't have to wait on shipping.

I just put it a return for my case that I got today, deffinately a crappy knock off. I don't understand why Amazon continues allow these knockoffs to be sold.
Not surprising, it also seems these fakes are all over eBay as well. Caveat emptor
Anyone know a place where I can order white TPU cases for my GSM Nexus? I looked on Amazon and eBay, I did like one of them (link below) but the shipping takes forever, any suggestions are welcome.
A few things to note, I hate having a "lip" around the front of my device, unless its a really small one.

Since it's for the Korea market, it's safe to assume that it'll fit the GSM version for sure.

Fits both, its a TPU case, it flexes a bit.
Guys, I'm looking for alternatives to this that can arrive at my doorstep earlier.
Not looking for hard or silicon cases. Definitely not silicon.

I appreciate it, searches on my side are coming up dry as well. I remember seeing somethibg on Amazon but it was out of stock.
My white tpu case came in and it looks great! Its "super white"
Nicely packaged, came with a screen protector I'll never use but its nice.
It fits the original 1750 battery & back cover and 2000 battery & case perfectly. No idea about the Verizon phone as I have GSM, sorry guys.
The cutouts are perfect and the power + volume rocker are easily accessible.
Pics in next post.

can you tell me if your case has a lip on the front? As in lay on table design? I dont like the added thickness from a bulging lip. A slight one is fine.
edit: also is it really glossy?

Yes, it has a lip so face down on table it will be safe. Also the camera is protected if put on back.
It is glossy but because it is white, you can't really tell the fingerprints are there, if they are there.

IMO ebay is the place to go for TPU's. There's a huge selection there for really good prices. I grabbed a couple paid about 5$

Yes, just make sure you really read the description and order as soon as possible as when they are coming from Korea and or China, it can take a while.
For tpu, you can't go wrong going eBay.

I'm trying to find a decent deal on an official white Samsung book cover case. I tried ebay, but no luck. I'd rather it be an official Samsung one because I've seen that the knockoffs interfere with the S-Pen. So, where can I get a decent deal? Thanks in advance.

How do they interfere with the spen?
I got one from eBay, a knock off but is identical to the overpriced Samsung one (probably made in the same factory as the "official" one) for 11 quid. The official one I got from amazon, paid 29 quid for it. But that was a while back. Maybe it depends which ebay seller you use?
Looking at them now, I use a different cover btw, I can't tell which is which lol.
There is a white one listed on Amazon for $36.82, sold by Amazon but listed as used:
Samsung Electronics Book Cover for Galaxy Note 10.1-Inch, White (EFC-1G2NWECXAR)
If I didn't already have mine I'd probably buy it. Just FYI.

This would only be the case for cases that put a magnetic closure to jump on board with the them of iPad cases. I have never had on, so this is just here-say i saw in another XDA thread. Maybe another cause would be a knock-off case that was too tight, and pressured the tablet too much. Honestly i have nothing to speak from, as far a personal experience with these case issues. I am using a Blason brand black case that i got off of amazon for around $15. Only complaint, is that the edge flap the secures to top of the tablet to close the case, has gotten a bendy crease in it, that is only a minor inconvenience sometimes.
I have just received my Samsung Galaxy Note 10'1 case from amazon.co.uk, it was through the UK site but was a german company so took over a week to arrive but only £31.37, the company web site is www.avides.com, I am delighted with the case, I had a pleather one bought for about £15, this one washes it away, you can access the whole screen, there is a special slot for head phone jack so you don't have to removes to flip cover upward and you have easy access to pen. Jim
My fiancée got me a leather case that is actually for the Tab 2, so I tried cutting out a hole for my S-pen, this however, made the corner very weak and unable to hold that corner of the tablet in place.
It is still usable, but I'm looking for a lightweight case, similar to the official ipad cases with the magnetic screen cover. Where can I get something like this, cheap?

I purchased a gray one a month ago or so and it did not look like it was opened.

I can confirm that the knockoff I bought does interfere with the S-Pen. There are 6 circular magnets that run across about 2/3 down from the top. When I write in this area the sensitivity and accuracy are messed up but for some reason it's worse at the right side. Problem goes away as soon as I remove the case. I got mine from ebay.

I bought the official one from newegg and it also interferes with the screen at times. I write on this thing ALOT, at least 5 hours a day, so I notice it for sure. Every now and then it will take more pressure to write on top of the magnets. If i take the case off and put it back on everything is fine. I find myself taking the case off and on alot.
