UK Accessories thread - Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories

Its hard to find the threads relevant to you so I though I would start one for people in the UK.
Please post links and mini reviews to items you have bought or seen.

Has anyone had experience with these ecell leather cases?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/COFFEE-BROWN-ANYMODE-ROTATING-LEATHER-CASE-FOR-SAMSUNG-GALAXY-NOTE-10-1-N8000-/390496797674?pt=UK_iPad_Tablet_Cases_Covers_Keyboard_Folios&hash=item5aeb6c43ea
Seems cheap for a real leather case

I bought this screen protector (pack of 2) from Media Devil "MediaDevil Magicscreen Screen Protector: Crystal Clear (Invisible) edition". I can't post links, but it's available from their website, eBay and Amazon. MediaDevil are also a UK company.
The quality of it is amazing, I can't even tell it's on the screen. It also doesn't affect the S-Pen which is great. I highly recommend it, though I admit it's price might put people off (currently about £15).

I have paid more for screen protectors for phones.
I usually get dust under them though when fitting them.
I will look these ones up now.
I just ordered that case I linked to on ebay.
Have you got any other accessories ?

Nothing yet. I'm getting this case (search ebay for 261097757601), but for Christmas, so I won't be able to comment until then I looks like a clone of the Official Book Cover - hopefully the quality is ok.

Boxwave Accessories now released for 10.1

http://www.boxwave.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-101-p7510-accessories/bwdd/zzzk
I have been buying BoxWave ClearTouch Crystal screen protectors for all of my devices for years, and they are PERFECT.
No solutions, no bubbles, 100% clear, you can clean and re-use them, they are static-cling, they fit perfect, very scratch resistant, etc..
I have these on my Canon 5D MkII camera, my Droid X, and other things.
My Droid X has had the same one on for over a year now when I first got it and it is in near-perfect condition. No I am not a salesperson for BoxWave lol.
Although there are some accessories out now for the 10.1, the screen protectors are not yet. I emailed them and they said they will be soon though.
That FlexSuit case looks cool but I think it's similar to those really cheap ones on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200624247046&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

I doubt it's the same. I am sure the BoxWave one is better quality and that the design is slightly different as they usually have higher-quality products. Similar though, yes...
Didn't see it anywhere on the site but do you know if they make screen protectors for it. If you say they are good and aren't to crazy on price, i'd be interested in picking one up.

Yeah they said it will be released soon. Ill be gettin one.
I just bought the armor suit in the mean time. When you get it post a review up on how you like. I'd like to know how it looks and feels.
Since all of the information here has helped me out substantially since receiving my tablet, I wanted to let everyone know what is happening with Boxwave.
I ordered "FlexSuit , Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 P7510, Smoke Grey - Qty: 2" for the I/O model (for a colleague and myself). The package took several days to ship and about 3 weeks to arrive in Vancouver, Canada. The package contained 2 x smoke flexsuits for the Xoom. Upon notifying Boxwave, I was told that it would be corrected soon by cross ship and Boxwave would reimburse me up to $5 USD since I would have to pay for the Xoom cases to be returned. I told them it was unlikely I could return these items for that little from Vancouver, and requested that they send a preauthorized envelope. The support person got back to me a couple of days later letting me know that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 flexsuits had been discontinued and that was the source of the confusion, and said preauthorized shipping from Canada was not a possibility. They could now authorize more than $5 for the shipment.
Anyway, I will have to return the shipment out of my own pocket to have any chance of a refund.
Does anyone know if the antiglare screen protector dulls the screen's color or output? I have the Invisible Shield, but has its corners messed up from the media dock. It also seems to pick up little "dimples" over time. For some reason, my Evo 4G kept getting the same dimples over time and done know what causes it.

Wich online store you recommend to get skins, stands and other cheap acc worldwide?

I just bought a cover for my Iconia A100. The thing is that there's not too many accessories here in Argentina for may new flaming tab.
I need a skin to protect (and change the glossy blue back with the Acer logo) the back of it from scratches, a stand to put it next to my laptop at work and I'm sure I'll think of a few more once I get those lol
The thing is. I was thinking on DealExtreme, and I was also checking ThinkGeek (I get that one from this post).
So, any suggestions? comments about security? accessories you've tried?
It would be good if you can share the accessories that you already have to see what else can I get to my tablet ^_^
Thank you very much
eBay.
i ordered the Skinomi Carbon Fibre skin kit from there and it looks good, is very slim and protects against scratches.
there are plenty of accessories on eBay...
I have been quite happy with the cheap silicone cases and car charger I bought on ebay. I bought a Roocase leather case on Amazon and it works very well. It allows standing the tab up in both landscape and portrait mode. Both sources are cheaper than other online stores.
Sweet. I'll try out ebay then
Thank you very much

off brand zagg protector

Looking for a zagg-like protector on eBay but cheaper. Anyone know any good brands?
I have been using gadgetshieldz for many of my devices. I think the quality is really very good. Most importantly, it is cheap. It comes with free shipping. I am currently waiting for it to arrive for my htc one x. Check it out at gadgetshieldz.com

Try BestSkinsEver, used it on many of my other previous devices, outlive most of my device.
The coverage and fit better then Zagg, IMO
Only $8.99 for full body which includes screen. But i don't like the screen skin, bit tacky feel .
http://www.bestskinsever.com/htc-one-x-skin
But it doesn't come with fancy packaging like all the expensive brands, not even instructions, you can download instructions from the web. Why they do it that way, read the here: http://www.bestskinsever.com/about-us/

Good cases, covers and screen protectors

Hi Guys. Just got a T989. Do you know any good strong cases and screen protectors?
I have been looking around in stores but they do not carry many T989 cases.
Thanks
Goto amazon and type T989 and you will see plenty. Im a total geek and buy devices all year(addict). Get a xtreme gaurd screen better than zagg and cheap. Use the black fishbone case or the D30 case

That is a thread with a good case and screen protectors. The case is a Cimo S-Line TPU Case. It is around 5 dollars on Amazon, even though it is a great case. I also ordered a 5-pack of screen protectors for a $1.50 and they have been working very well.
Links,
Screen Protectors: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006EC5X6O/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00 When i purchased them, they were from a different seller. The price went down to $0.95. It is a steal in my opinion.
Case: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006K6PGSY/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00 The case has been very good so far. Check out the thread for an unboxing, pictures, and the thread will soon also be updated with a review.
Fishbone from E-bay. Little bit expensive but everyone say WOWWWWW!!! when they see it! Lol!!!
Accessories of all kinds are dependent upon preference. How much protection do you want? How important is it that the form factor remain sleek and attractive?
I went with a Seidio Active case, as I felt it would offer best protection, and a zagg shield, because the service we've gotten locally from their kiosks has been great.

Is the screen protector you listed here a matte screen protector? It says anti-glare, but doesn't say that it is matte. Thanks!

I just got grabbed a D3O case with T-Mobile screen protectors off eBay. The package is only 12.99, supposed to be all authentic. I've used D3O on other phones, they have really nice cases. I've never used a T-Mobile brand screen protector, but I can't imagine it'd be too bad.
Edit: they also have different colors if you don't like the black.
Here's a link to the case on eBay
im having trouble uploading a picture, and still dont have enough posts to put links but i am actually using this case that can be found on amazon by putting in
ATC For Samsung Galaxy S2 II T-Mobile T989 Android OS Hercules 4G Black&Blue Silicone / Rubber Case
there are many variants on amazon. people selling it under diff names. but i like the added protection on the corners where a phone mostly hits when falling. the protection it offers on the back, and the lip is thick enough that if it falls screen should touch the floor on a flat surface. i have not had issues with the screen protector peeling from the corners either. i like that the blue snap cover holds the silicone in place so it doesnt slide off when in my pockets

Just got these today and I have to say, if I had the choice to do it over, I wouldn't buy them. I've always used D3O cases and they always seem like they are good quality, but this flex case, I personally think feels a bit cheapy. I don't know what it is about it, but I'm not a fan. I also usually use Zagg screen protectors, but I decided this time I'd try something else because I don't really like the rubbery feel of the Zagg protectors. BUT the best thing about the Zagg protectors is that they stretch which makes fitting them on with a case much easier in my opinion, also the wet application makes putting the protector on much easier since you can slide it around. This protector was a pain to get on, plus the fact that every time you FINALLY get it right, dust has decided to settle on the screen so you have to wipe it off or blow it off and by then I've moved the protector by a mm so it goes off to the side now.
So I'm probably just going to stick with what I have for now, but eventually I'm sure I'm going to go with a different case and a different screen protector. The dual shock D3O cases are probably much better quality than these flex cases.
Edit: I did buy it off eBay, so I know there's always the possibility that the case is a fake, but everything looks pretty legit to me. I'm going to head to a T-Mobile store today or tomorrow and check out the cases in the store to double check though.
a friend bought the D30 from T-Mobile when she got her GS2. I do not like it at all the buttons are waaaay too hard to press.
I had a trident on my OG Vibrant and it was the most amazing thing ever, I could throw that phone across the room and it was fine.
+1 on the Fishbone case. Just enough protection and it still goes in and out of my pocket easily.
In my opinion the Steinheil Ultra Fine screen protectors are great. Anti fingerprint and anti glare. I have had mine on my t989 for about a year so far and it still looks great. Just my opinion, give it a try.
I personally like the screen protectors from the T-Mobile retail store. Though a little pricey but it looks amazing if applied correctly. Had mine on since last December and it still looks new.

The Z Fold 2 Case Thread

Thought I'd start one up. What have you guys seen or ordered?
Spigen's got some stuff on Amazon already.
Ultra Hybrid
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08B13QH17/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_VS8tFbAFSX5CB
Thin Fit
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08B11KLFF/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_IU8tFbWA3WMMM
Tough Armor
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089ZZ3PX7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_SV8tFbAHQPK2H
Urban Armor Gear also has a listing for one.
https://www.urbanarmorgear.com/products/civilian-series-galaxy-fold2-case
I have the aramid Samsung case on the way. Might get the Ultra Hybrid or Thin Fit just to have the front part of the case.
None of them will be here by September 18th though. I'm hoping the shipping dates will get moved up soon.

Worried about that myself so ordered a dbrand skin.
I'm not normally a skin guy but it's better then nothing on this 2k device.
I'm just not a fan of the Samsung ones with them only covering the back
yeah i wish they had some cases. I need something to give the screen a slight lift so it doesn't make surface contact etc.
i hope spigen moves up their times.
I'm going to order the aramid cover. Like you guys, I want to protect it a bit while other cases come out. I'm definitely going to leave the plastic screen protector on the front display until something suitable comes out
Clear Spigen?
I went to order the Spigen Ultra Hybrid on Amazon.
I'd like a crystal-clear version as I've used for the last couple of Note phones, but presently the title of the listing is "Matte Black" and the visual render looks like black.
On the other hand, the description says: "Crystal clear transparency flaunts original phone design".
I think this listing needs work, and hopefully they will soon have a Crystal version.
Links to Amazon are in the US
I am interested in this one for those of us in the UK o r Europe:
https://www.mobilefun.co.uk/araree-bonnet-samsung-galaxy-z-fold-2-5g-wallet-stand-case-black-82183
Reasonable price too.

The Spigen Ultra Hybrid cases have been around for a while. They are made with a matte colored TPU bumper around the edges and the back portion is a clear polycarbonate. Had the render used the bronze Z Fold 2 it would be much more apparent.
Link to the Note 20 Ultra version for comparison. Check the other pictures and you can see how it would look on a bronze or white phone.

Thanks for the link. I ordered the official Aramid case from Samsung, as I usually opt for Spigen with the stands, but the lack of protection for other parts of the phone is worrying. I'm not sure I could use the case you've opted for though as I like to be able to glance the screen. It will be interesting to see how that one works as in how does it hold when the screen is folded open. is it held in place magnetically or does it flap about.
They have a couple of extra options at the site, for anyone UK/EU side, though the prices for the official cases are higher than getting direct from Samsung, especially if you use the 10% off code at Samsung.

Yeah the Samsung cases are stupidly priced, the leather ones are retailed at a staggering £80 ($105) for what is just a small flimsy back cover. Why are they blatantly ripping its consumers off?
The cover in the link I posted, is also genuine leather and it protects the whole phone including the screen. I have always bought covers rather than bumper cases as the screen is the most important part of the phone. I can't imagine how expensive it would be to replace the front screen! Anyway it does use magnets to hold itself together. I have seen other pics of it elsewhere and it looks really good. And at less than half the price of the Samsung one, I ordered it. I will let you know what it's like when I get it.

I am always amazed at how pricey the cases are from Samsung and then how cheaply made they are. I bought the wallet case for my note 20 ultra and the camera protection is non existent as well as the top and bottom are exposed. They wanted $60 for that pos
This case should be even less since it's just one piece but Samsung figure you'll spend it because you put 2k on a device.
I almost feel like Samsung is punishing us for affording an expensive device. "Oh you have all this money to spend on a device? Well I am going make you over pay for the cases"
I’ve been tempted to get the Aramid case but for the price may just get a leather wallet when they become available in the US. Hopefully there will be a few options to choose from.

I ordered the Aramid case from Samsung at the same time I ordered the phone and it will be delivered at the same time as my phone on the 15th before 10:30am
Admittedly the case will likely only be a temporary one for me and I will be grabbing something more suitable when available. Hopefully Spigen will have something out soon, as I like their cases with kickstands, but in the meantime the Aramid will be fine as I am working from home until the end of December at least and due to health I don't go out much so it will be fine.
Well, I put off ordering a case because.. well, I was just waiting to see if any new cases would pop up anywhere. Lo and behold, Samsung are sold out of the Aramid and the leather in brown and black. You can currently, as of 9/9, only purchase the green leather one.
I'm confused, why didn't Samsung make more? Ugh
Anyone know when Spigen cases will come to UK? This is the first time not seeing a link to a page on Amazon UK for it before the phone is out
I took a chance on the flip case cover from Araree in Korea. Was as expensive as the official Samsung cases but at least offers wallet type protection. Hopefully they ship closer to the 22nd.
$54 total from eBay.
