Just received this today:
http://www.amazon.com/i-Blason-Sams...1347054475&sr=1-1&keywords=i-blason+note+10.1
Good construction - Note 10.1 sits very securely in it. A little tough to close the first few times (snug), but it's getting easier. 3 levels of angle for stand. Cut-out for the camera and pen are perfect. Only issue is because of the pen cut-out, if you happen to drop it on that corner, you could have a problem.
Very good, secure case for the money.

any review or comment on book cover case by samsung....
Mine just came today, previously I used a cheap fake leather case that made the tablet big an bulky, and it didn't feel very nice (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Black-Lea...ting_LaptopAccessories_RL&hash=item27c2fcc11c).
So I decided to buy the official book case from amazon, I didn't think it would be very nice, but it came today and I am very impressed. It looks very nice and expensive on the tablet. As in it looks premium, and not cheap like my fake leather case. It fits the tablet perfectly. It doesn't feel like a chore to have the case on, it actually makes the tablet very nice and very comfortable to hold. I would strongly recommend this case.
It feels nice, it's the thinnest book style case I have seen by a lot. It looks very nice & premium, and it will protect your precious tab. The only downside is that it is a bit expensive, and the weight with the case on is noticeably more + the cheap leather one is a lot more bulky and will provide slightly better protection at the expense of comfort and looks. I think it really is the best case by far for this tab, nothing come close in my opinion. I hope this helps you.
I was your 60th...
Had to thank you though because I'm looking for a great case.

Thank you very much
I've also got the Samsung Book Cover Case. I like it a lot except for one issue:
In typing angle, the tab is actually upside down. This causes 2 problems:
1. some apps that force landscape mode will default to the right-side-up landscape mode and therefore appear upside down. There doesn't seem to be any way to override this behavior on the tablet so you're force to physically rotate the tab and either lay it flat or use a steeper angle.
2. With the tab upside down, the ambient light sensor gets covered by the shadow of your hands while typing (or even swiping, tapping) so that the auto brightness feature keeps dimming and undimming the screen. It's pretty annoying. At least there's a workaround - you can disable the auto brightness.
Still, I'm thinking of trying one of the smartcover cases since those will let you set a shallow or steep angle with the tab right-side-up in either case.
Anyone compare the samsung case to a smart cover case. I'd be curious if they are any heavier or bulkier.
Oh, I'm also a little concerned the crease where the flap bends will eventually crack. Has this been an issue or is it pretty sturdy?
Thanks!
I just got my cases and keyboard in from Amazon two days ago and i wanted to share my thought on what i think are excellent products. I spent a lot of time looking for cases because initially i wanted a keyboard case, but none impressed me too much and all looked almost the same. Then i heard magnets in cases were causing issues and the Samsung book cover was the only one that seemed to have 0 issues. But it was too expensive my for liking so i went with the following set-up.
It won't let me post links, but it is all available on amazon.
Case: RooCase Origami Folio and Slimshell Cover
Want the Samsung Bookcover without buying the outrageous price? This is the way to go, and in my eyes is better. It has essentially the same design concept with more functionality. Great build quality. Offering a total of 4 holding positions for the screen. The cover has 3 landscape position to hold the screen up and one portrait. Very nice and soft to the touch. A sleek slim design which leads to being very light. The cut-outs are perfect and does support the auto-sleep/wake function. So it does has magnets but so far has had no effect on the digitizer. I was hoping it wouldn't since it was very similar to the book cover. Not the best protection but a unbeatable price for this product if this is what your looking for.
Sleeve:RooCase Neoprene Sleeve Case
I will be using my tablet for college everyday, so it will be moving around with me everyday. I needed some extra protection, especially for when it is in my backpack. This sleeve does the trick. It has two pockets, one for the tablet and one for any accessories. The tablet fit perfectly with my other case on it and still had enough room to slide my Bluetooth keyboard in. It is slim but protective. The Neoprene sleeve gives me the extra protection from the bumps, scratches, and movement it will endure. It is not very thick, so don't expect it to save you from heavy drops, but it will do its jobs within its limits. Once again a great buy for its price.
Keyboard: Shark Ultra-Slim Bluetooth 3.0Keyboard
This keyboard is top-notch. The build quality is amazing, featuring a aluminum body which looks very professional and clean. The keys are a great feels to them and don't feel cheap. I felt good feedback from them. The on/off and connect button is conveniently located on the top right. Has a lithium-ion battery and lasts quite awhile. They keyboard case with a nice little sleeve to keep the keyboard in which was nice. Fit perfectly with my tablet in the sleeve. I had no connectivity problems and connected in seconds. It does have a auto-sleep feature when inactive which helps save alto of battery if your like me and forget to turn it off. Pressing any key will wake it up and connect back almost immediately. It is a little more but its worth it in my opinion if your gonna be using a keyboard.
Hoped this helped you guys a little bit. I am open to any questions you guys might have and will reply back as i can. This was my first time using these two brands and and pretty pleased for the price.
Hey there - posted this over on AC, but thought some might benefit from it here too!
So I picked up a new case of Amazon commensurate with the $500+ purchase that hit my bank account this week. Wanted something for around the office (mostly work out of the house), and will likely pick up a "more suited for travel" solution from poetic or one of the cheaper guys down the line. I've been told that I put too many words around my thoughts and words equal bad for reasons...
So I'll post some pics and just get right down to what's good and what's bad:
Likes:
It's very pretty, and despite being a non-leather "High End Eco Friendly Fiber" or whatever the hell that means, the build quality and construction of the case are as such that I barely notice the stand in for real leather.
All ports, camera's and other various assundry cut-outs appear to be in the right spot and sufficiently machined that I'm not catching my finger (nails or tips) when trying to get the Spen phallus out of it's tiny plastic ******, or turn the volume up or down.
The internal "bra," as it were (the piece that holds the tablet) is actually ridiculously rigid - and despite the light weight carry nature of a case like this - I think it could stop a bullet. It's made of some insane non-PET plastic (likely a high fiber terephathalatate or other poly carb blend..like found in large water bottles), that seriously I can't manage to bend even slightly by pulling up and down on both corners. Also, if you're into that sort of thing...wierdo, it's a "smokey" looking plastic that's only semi-transparent.
The interior is lined with some very high quality denim, which sounds odd - but the texture is lovely to the touch. I specifically ordered a brown case because I wanted the green inset - I think I might actually a red one (with cream colored inset) to have as a backup or when this one finally dies.
It's not leather, but the construction and handcrafts-manship is certainly apparent. There's hand stitches tying the exterior to the inset and it looks lovely! I've been using it for my daily case and despite it not being leather, there's no signs of wear around the fold lines near the spine of the case even though I routinely hold it like a magazine - pretty impressive.
Light weight - no real extra bulk.
What's not so great:
The price - I paid $29 for this through Prime on a one day special, but I've seen it going as high as $50. I'm not saying it's not worth it, there's certainly value and some bling factor at play here, but I would have had a harder time accepting the $50 price tag (or may if I decide to order the dark red version).
The play joint (that allows you to flip it into "stand mode" is like all other cases....if you don't routinely want to prop up your tablet - you have to live with it being lose while you work with it.
**I found a 10 cent solution in a pair of velcro micro dots (about the radius of my pinky finger) that I placed between the hard plastic bra and the denim case - and after some time - have no problems with the sticky "adherence." Now when I want to use my case as a stand...I have to pull a little harder and hear that satisfying velcro "skin peeling" sound before the whole thing comes apart!
The cover is a "smart cover" meaning it will turn on and off your screen, but with the case open (and the front folded over the back - the magnet it in the case will sometimes flip the screen off until it's moved ever so slightly. Not a huge deal - but it can be annoying.
So that's it - so far so good. Like I said, I don't know that I'd travel with it. To knock around the office or at home is one thing, but to put it under airline scrutiny and abuse would make me nervous (unless I was holding it and babying it through the process). Very happy with the case at the purchase price - but full price would be harder to swallow! Hope it helps!

hi
im looking for a case for the note 10.1 2014 edition.
im looking for a case with hand strap for single hand and with multiple angle, and ''magnet lock''...something similar to this one:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/iGadgitz-P...=8-17&keywords=note+10.1+2014+hand+strap+case
but i dont like that u need to take out the note lower half out of the ''snaps'' to make it stand, i think it will damage the bezel at the long run....
anyone know the case im looking for ?
Maybe not exactly what you need, but i saw one that is just good enough
Here
Pretty much satisfied with this one: __ebay.de/itm/Schutzhuelle-fuer-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-10-1-2014-SM-P600-Smart-Cover-Slim-Case-Set-/322461090677?&_trksid=p2056016.l4276
Item of link in #3 is gone. The hand strap of the case in #1 is made of the interior sammet cloth and rubber. Will get dirty and torn soon, so better buy two or three cases for backup.
I have now my second 7" tablet in my universal tucano youngster case. It has a zipper with a sling, which allows safely holding it with one hand by hooking your thumb in the sling. Portraut and landscape. So i immediately got the 10" version for my Note back then. But you could only hold it one-handedly in portrait mode and as the interior design was different and the corner rubber straps were too weak for the heavier Note there was danger of the Note falling out. I dumped the case.
Panasonic Toughpads show how it has to be done (superb hand strap) and it would be easy to make a case which would turn a Note into a much more expensive Toughpad.
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.
