I'm having a hard time understanding the differences between these 2 Samsung covers.
What is the EFC-1G2NGEGSTA material? Is it the same as the non-magnetic book cover EFC-1G2NGECXAR? I've seen the EFC-1G2NGECXAR at Best Buy and wasn't really that impressed. It seemed kind of like cheap vinyl/plastic. Is the only difference between these the magnet?
I would like to know as well about this. Why does Samsung have different prices for what it seems to be the same cover?
So I see Samsung now has these in a many new colors. Wow. Well I used my 50% off coupon and bought the official gray cover from their store. Total was about $35 with tax and shipping.
We shall see...

Ya I bought the gray: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab-accessories/EFC-1G2NGEGSTA. It was $29.99 after coupon plus tax and shipping.
They now are showing gray, white, and new brown, red, light blue, pink, lime green, and orange: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab/GT-N8013EAVXAR-accessories
Edit: Just noticed URL contains 'galaxy-tab' but page shows definitely shows note. You can also navigate in from Note 10.1 main page, then click accessories.

I just got a nonmagnetic one and its really good. Wish It had magnets though because the screen cover is loose.

Has anyone figured out what the exact difference is? I just purchased the magnetic one and saw some youtube reviews of the original. SAME THING! Magnets in the the same place. Same coverage. I just got off the phone with samsung and they couldn't tell me the difference. They say the magnetic one has more magnets. I don't think so. Also they say the materials are different. I'm not sure about that. Samsung guy also told me that they don't make the book cover anymore and this is the new one. Which is why they charge $10 more. In my opinion, they just relabeled the same product and made it more expensive. Can anyone confirm there is a difference?
So I stopped by a local best buy and compared my "magnetic" book cover and realized there is absolutely no difference. Size, weight, material, magnetic placement were all the same.
@dtziheucdavis if you're thinking that the magenetic one keeps the front flap closed it does not. (At least the one I have)
So now I'm wondering if samsung sent me the wrong one if there is a difference.
Any thoughts? As mentioned I spent about 30 minutes on the phone with samsung and after 3 reps later, all they could tell me was that there are more magnets and the material is better (not true through direct comparison). If there are more magnets its non functional.
Well, I just used the 50% off promotion and ordered the red one. I already had the gray 49.99 model, so i will be able to do a comparison as soon as it arrives. Also, I was able to use the coupon to order the s pen holder. It has good reviews on Amazon.
I just would like the option of the screen going off automatically when the cost is closed m or the s pen is re-inserted into its holder on the tab.

I received my EFC-1G2NGEGSTA today. It appears to be the same as the non-magnet one I saw at BB, with the exception of the magnets. Seems OK. I may keep it, despite growing to really like the i-BLASON I got from Amazon.
We shall see if the non-latching (or non-magnet clinging) cover is an issue. I kind of liked the latch on the i-BLASON and the extra padding the case provided.
Took one week to arrive from order placed to received.
EDIT: Really digging the fit and slim profile! I hope it doesn't suck up the scratches.

Hey where exactly is the magnets? On the regular book cover there are magnets too. When I compared my magnet one to the non magnet it was exactly the same. Is there a magnet that keeps the front flap closed? I sat at best buy for 10 minutes comparing my magnet and the regular book cover to find no difference. Thanks.

So the "front" cover has 3 sections (seperated by 2 creases)....a 1 inch or so section near the "hinge", a 4 inch or so section in the middle, and a 1/2 inch or so section. It seems that the only parts that stick are the 1/2 inch section when it is aligned in the middle of the cover back.
Hard to describe without picture, but does that make sense?

That is exactly how my "Magnetic" one is. And from what dtziheucdavis says his non-magnetic one is the exact same. I think Samsung just rebranded and is now charging $10 more for the same thing. Not cool!
I might be a little off topic but I found this case on ebay.co.uk:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Smart-Mag...lePhonesCasesPouches&var=&hash=item416f5f3250
It really looks like the official ones that you are talking about, and it only costs £11!
Do you think that there is any trick here? I'm surprised by such a low price and it makes me suspicious, but more than 300 people already bought it and the seller is an ebay top-rated one...
I also had a few questions for the owners of an official case: does the 2 positions (for typing and viewing) hold well? Will the tablet fall if I type a bit strongly on the screen? And also, I don't use the camera that much but it can happen so isn't it too annoying that the camera is covered when you open the case?
Thanks guys!

I bought one 15 € and it's just like the official one (excepted the price).
You have to know that samsung offers 20 € if you buy an official one, so it will cost you only 20 €

Ok so I was asked to update this post. Some of the information found throughout the thread is below:
The battery cover can be found at: cnn.cn
(thank you NoNameAtAll from this post)
The cnn.cn part is just the case, no retail packaging (ie. no media dock adapter.)
jjwatmyself in post says that you remove the insert in the car dock and it will fit the atrix with the battery cover.
digital.aaron in post has some pictures with the cover on the phone.
jjwatmyself has some pictures here.
digital.aaron says in this post: it's very different from Otterbox's rubber. It hasn't picked up any fuzz from my pocket, and I've got on fleece sweatpants. Used to be a nightmare for my 'Box'd iPhone.
Some problems people were are having, the sides are flimsy (you get used to this) and the different colors seem to have different textures.
=============OLD POST===========================
I bought the atrix from AT&T and I ordered a ruggedized battery cover from some website for $30 w/ shipping. My question is as I have neither yet, does anyone have the cover and is it good? Does it feel like it will protect the phone a bit and help hold the phone in the hand?

I'd be interested in this too. Asked a while back and it seemed no one has tried them, because there were no responses. I don't want to spend $30 on one if it feels cheap or doesn't fit right

Well, if no one else has tried I already ordered it so when I get both phone and cover in I will update this thread. It might be a while as I am stationed in Japan so my mom will be sending me the phone Tuesday or Wednesday and it may take a week or two to get here.
oh by the way I ordered mine from After market Cellular. Anyone have any dealings with them, are they honest?
This is the specific one I bought:
http://www.aftermarketcellular.com/ic/89490N.html
I've been looking at one of these batter covers but several sites that I have checked show an estimated ship date or out of stock. Have you received a shipping confirmation for the battery cover yet?
These are rubberized battery covers and thus replace the stock plastic cover. They are from Motorola and are rumored to be out about April 15th. This is why several places show "out of stock", because they aren't out yet.
I have not recieved a shipping confermation, but the store was not showing them as out of stock r estimated shipping date. Now that a320ca said they are nto supposed to be out until the 15th I am worried that the store is a sham because it never told me that.
FYI, I just called them and they said they are out of stock of the Blue one. She asked if I wanted her to check stock on the Green one but I already knew what the answer would be. Store doesn't appear to be a sham but then again, you might want to look into your order if are expecting it sooner than later.
I hope there will be pictures of the cover when people get them. I an intensely eyeballing the green one.
I've also ordered one, from 123cellsupply.com.
I don't have a shipping confirmation yet, either. I've put in several emails to find out the status, but no response yet.
Does the ruggedized battery cover wrap around the front at all, to provide a small protective lip around the screen?
Has anyone actually seen one of these in person?
These are in stock in my local bell store for 29.95. I might consider getting one of these

Really? Where's your local Bell? In the GVA by any chance? I ordered one from Bell online, because it didn't seem like there were any in stock in the Bell stores here in Vancouver... Admittedly, I didn't try very hard to find them.
But my order is still pending, turns out they're out of stock online...

Yes it wraps around the entire phone
They do look nice.... but to be honest, if it's actually silicon.... i dunno if i'd want it. That's basically my issue with the Otterbox cases. That outside cover attracts dust from alternate dimensions of your pocket. I can't imagine what the rugged battery cover might look like if it's the same material.

review:
After my first disapointing buy from ebay i bought this "sexy"
synthetic leather case.
Its weight is 290 grams.
Is a very-very slim case and when it closed, the case is tightly fixed on the tablet.
It has 3 deep grooves for standing and the tablet is very stable in these positions.
The philosophy of this case is "to not hiding nothing from the tablet when you use it."
On the back side there is a gentle opening for the camera.
It smells like leather.
The close clip aplly a good force to keep the case closed.
Every button or socket of the tablet is accesible with closed case
And finally i am happy, and this is the most important
Looks good, does it have a typing angle? What is the name?
also are you able to charge the tab without having the case open? i have one such and i need to have my case open each time i charge which is a pain
This is maybe the case I'm looking for. Can you please share the name and the link for the case. Since you can't post links, replace for examples the dots of the url with spaces or some other characters.
Maybe this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320786081962#ht_2592wt_1165
You have to open the case when charging (if I remember right).
I bought this. Premium quality indeed.

I must say the case looks really nice!
I was wondering about the 3 viewing angles though - do they firmly support the Tab? Would hate to buy it and then find out it slips and falls out when I set it up on one of the angles (I saw that happen before...). Also, is it possible to use this case to prop your Tab up when you put it in your lap (in bed or something similar)? Or is it too flimsy?
And do you feel the extra weight when you carry the tab around? I really love how light it is right now, you don't even notice you have it in your bag (with the standard samsung pouch on) and it's really easy to hold it in one hand and typing with the other if you're walking around the house.

The gaps for the 3 viewing angles are deep enough, and yes you can use it in your lap, my wife do it often.

is still light it is just 290 grams more.
but if you want to use it with one hand, i think that the best way is
to hold it in portrait like a book because the total weight is about 850 grams

The same case, with a new name, posted once again in a new thread. This was $12 on amazon last week.
Really? I sure couldn't find it when I looked (didn't look really hard though)
Doesn't really matter though, if it's a good case I'm more then willing to spend $23 on it. The most basic samsung pouch costs 25€ (about $35) here :S.

I purchased a look a like case from here:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005ECHQ4C
I was struggling to find it as cheap as in the US for example.
The one from the above link, seem to be very good so far. All viewing angles work great, both on a flat surface and on my lap. The typing position is my most used.
'Leather' quality seems good so far. Of course it is going to add some weight, but not really an issue for me. ALL ports/buttons are fully accessible, inc charging when case is closed.
its a great case

I previously owned a tab 8.9 and had an official Samsung case for it, and this one is of exact build quality, obviously though this one has the spen and ir sensor exposed with the lid closed. It also has a small amount of magnetism where it locks close. If anyone wants some better pics let me know and I'll take some with a dslr.

Got the black myself.
sidenote. the case in the first post has a "silk" like front cover that scratches by virtually anything.
Nice, OP. I was thinking of getting one for my Note, but I didn't really like the stand. I prefer one that's a bit more stable, I guess.
I have it in white. Very very good case!

I have one of these and I'm not a fan at all. Idk why the upper corner is open, but it's very annoying having one corner completely unprotected. Also, it doesn't hold very strong. The choice of silicon rather than tpu for the front part (the back is hard plastic) was not a good one, in my experience silicone is not as sticky or as tight fitting as tpu and causes your phone to pop out fairly easily. Overall, I would not recommend it.

The reason some cases have one corner open like that is because they were designed for the Korean market Galaxy S3, which has an extendable DMB antennae.
It's a liability for the rest of the world, but a necessity for the Korean market.
Mine arrived today. It's a weird little bumper though. I ordered the orange and black one as I thought it looked kinda cool but the colors are inverted. What's up with that?
Also, it's like they got the bumper from the picture, left if for 3 years in the sun and then sent it to me, colors are all faded.
Also, as someone said before, there's one corner unprotected; God knows why. (EDIT: And so does the user above me, didn't read his comment.)
I'll throw this away probably but thanks for the tip haha.
Not bad.. I might actually try it since my aluminum bumper block GPS signal

bastards... im still waiting for mine but guess itll be the same. I actually ordered this one cause the design (espec. colour) looked better than the other common bumpers on ebay. but judging from your post its probably the same one :/
One corner is unprotected because South Korean version of the S3 has an antenna for DMB.
DMB is basically a service that allows smaller devices to watch TV, almost every single portable devices has it in Korea.

bastards... im still waiting for mine but guess itll be the same. I actually ordered this one cause the design (espec. colour) looked better than the other common bumpers on ebay. but judging from your post its probably the same one :/

One corner is unprotected because South Korean version of the S3 has an antenna for DMB.
DMB is basically a service that allows smaller devices to watch TV, almost every single portable devices has it in Korea.

Precisely... and the South Korean version is a little thicker than the international versions too...this might be why these bumpers do not hold as tightly on them...
Hi, I looking for a flip cover similar to the S3 one like this.

Is there a similar one for the S2?

if U want2say thanks press the 'thank you' button below the post
I bought this one eight days ago, and received it today. It's pretty sweet. Perfect fit for the i9100 with standard 1650 mAh battery
The only drawback is that when the phone is laying flat on a table with the screen pointing up, the flip cover has a 15 degree angle. Thus, it does not stick to the screen as good as the official S3 flip cover. But this might improve with time, I imagine.

Hi, thanks for this!
Yeah my dad had unofficial one for his S3, and when he first got it, it didn't close fully, but he's had it several months now, and it remains shut.
Can you comment in the quality of the back cover? Is it similar to the material and build quality of the original?
Is the colour matching exactly the same? No signs of cheapness and colour fading away yet?
Cheers.

The back cover quality seems equal to the original, but it is a tad bulkier (only some millimetres, I figure) and not as flexible. The texture is the same as the original one, but the colour is more grey/black (but it looks good).

Thanks a lot for sharing with us
Which color did you buy? Do you think an orange cover will look good with a white phone?
And does the cover have the Galaxy SII logo?
I bought this one, waiting for it to arrive.

It seems to be better protected than the one mentioned before, so I feel safer using my phone
the one on the page seems to be out of stock, just search for kalaideng or KLD on aliexpress
