Hello all!! This is my first Samsung device ever! It was just too beautiful to not get. I have decent experience with Android though (rooting, custom roms, etc) I have already rooted the device but not much more yet. I mainly just wanted to say hi but also get some recommendations on a case/screen protector.
I was looking at this bundle on ebay and it seems like a great deal. I know it is a no name brand mostly but it even comes with a bluetooth keyboard!
'link removed'
Well it looks like I can't post links yet :crying:
but if you go to ebay and search for : Bluetooth Keyboard Leather Case Cover For Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 Inch SM-T800 : you should be able to find it
Does anyone else recommend something better? I am not going to buy any official cases as they are too expensive unless there is some deal floating around that I don't know about.
They're all expensive from what i have seen, if you want a decent case at least.
Have you looked on Amazon? I don't use a screen protector, never had on any of my tablets. For a case I am using this one http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Samsung-...r=8-7&keywords=samsung+galaxy+tab+s+10.5+case I am very happy with this case, I like the protection it gives the corners and also the stand angles.
i got this SAMAR Ultra Slim Black Case Cover Stand for £7 / 10 US http://www.amazon.co.uk/SAMAR%C2%AE-Supreme-Released-Screen-Protector-cleaning/dp/B00NJVCEWY
look like can only buy it in UK amazon but look like you buy it from ebay shipping from UK

I got the unicorn Beetle. I wanted to make sure it was safe from drops. Very impressed with quality and price point

I got the logitech keyboard case
http://www.logitech.com/sv-se/product/type-s-keyboard-case-galaxy-tab-s-10 really satisfied
I bought my Tab S 10.5 just last week from a physical store (for just 360 USD!) and the shop keeper sold me the official case for roughly 28 USD. I wouldn't say it's cheap, but it's a real bargain in comparison to the original price (over 56 USD). I reckon the shop keeper was keen to get rid of the remaining stock now that the Tab S has been available for more than half a year.
As for the keyboard, I bought the Logitech K480. It's huge, heavy and unwieldy, but it works with any tablet so I wouldn't need to buy yet another keyboard if I decide to get a new tablet. I am going to use my Tab S to take notes during lessons and I don't always have access to a desk, so the keyboard has to be able to hold the tablet in place on my lap. I also don't feel like spending 50 USD on a keyboard that will only work with one specific tablet.
I use the Moko case also. I have one on my Nexus 7 device. It's not expensive and provides adequate protection IMO.
Another case you wanna out is the sock folio case which is great. Can't post links since I'm new...

For $999.00? Is it solid gold? ☺
I ordered this http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00NOQ6MP4 it has a trackpad built into it which I think is pretty sweet
Tempered glass screen protector.
I don't know if you've found a screen protector yet, but I've been using a Skinomi Tech Glass protector and I absolutely love it. I picked mine up on Amazon for about $25.00. My 10.5" Tab S is in the Samsung book case and I can attest to the protection the protector adds, I really put it to the test. I was using my tablet at work and fumbled it face down onto epoxy coated concrete! I was really nervous to look at the screen to say the least, but other then some scratches to the tempered glass screen protector, the tablet was perfect! I ordered another protector from Skinomi and once again have a tablet without a single scratch on it. I also installed a full body protector that covers the back and edges of the tablet, but only because I can be a bit rough on things from time to time and wanted the extra protection to keep my baby in like new condition. I'm going to try and add a link to the protector I purchased, but I'm a fairly new member, so it may not work.
Good luck and enjoy that tablet, it's one amazing piece of tech!

I use Brando Protector Plus on my Artemis and have a Brando Protector Plus Ultra Clear on a different pda. They have the best quality I've ever seen, you can get them at ebay when you are searching for "brando" and your pda name, try the HTC and all the other names that exist.
The normal protector plus is matt and has a strange scratching feeling to it when you write with your stylus on it. The ultra clear version is reflecting a little more but looks better and feels and looks exactly like the normal pda screen.
Both protectors are pretty thick and have about the same quality as the screen itself, didn't find any scratches on the protector yet. You don't need water or anything to put it on and you can wash them (didn't try that yet).
They cost about 10 Euros a piece but it's worth the money, belive me.

Brando for me is the best screen protection, and the service these guys give is cool. i messed up the first screen protector and sent a mail over to Brando asking for there help, they replied back to me and said sorry that i had problems and they will send me a replacement free of charge.
stick with Brando and you cant go wrong.

And another recommendation for Martin Fields (and Mobilefun too, come to that). Have been using these since the first MDA Compact and they've always been perfect.
And another vote for Martin Baker - Fits perfectly and you can't tell its there.....
Had one on my XDA2 for four years and its still fine. Just got one for my P3300 and its all you could ask......

The Vitiki (3M) one is the best - they're all a pain, but the more you pay the better really...
Problem is, they all have to fit within the plastic housing, so are awkward to fit and dirt etc gets down the edges...
Here's my solution: get a screensaver for an XDA Touch or something bigger than the Aretemis/Orbit... take the casing off (it's no that hard to do, then you get the screen exposed... you can then fit an oversized protector far more easily, and trim roughtly with a pair of scissors - when you put it back in the casing, all of the edges are hidden, and you can't tell there's a screen protector on!
Another tip is to put strips of sellotape over the screen first then pull them off slowly to remove any bits of dust etc, before fitting the protector.
I used the protecor that was shipped with my bosses' XDA Touch... it's given the screen a 'springy' feel but you can't see it's on!
Is it really necessary to use a screen protector??
I had an XDA neo for 6 month without any protector and without any scratches.
Brando forever
I use a proporta screen protector and its very good. Fits well, no bubbles and has a matt finish so it really eliminates reflections and glare which i found a huge problem in bright sunlight.
Im a Brando fan! Ive tried several others but Brando is the best!

Question: did the people who bought their screenprotector directly from the Brando-site use Worldpay as their payment method? Something smells fishy about worldpay. I want to order it with my visa, but I just want to be sure that Worldpay can be trusted.

The Company is cool, if you mess up putting the protector on the pda, just mail them and they will send you a free replacement out, excelent service.
Background
I buy exensive devices, but I never want to buy expensive or large cases for my devices. I personally believe cases wreck the look and feel of a device, so if I am going to get one, I go minimalistic as possible. This is where the TPU case comes in.
TPU cases are nice because they fit tightly around the device and do not add much thickness or weight. They are better than your typical rubber, plastic, or silicone because they do not attract dust and hair and whatnot, while also being much studier.
The main thing I wanted to do was find the cheapest case I could and this one came out to $10, which is much better than paying $80 for a Zenus Prestige, or a Melko for over $100. This case was $10 and had free expedited shipping from a US seller and got here in 2 days.
Now About the Case
It comes in different colors, like white, smoke, and black. I chose the smoke so you could still see through the back a little bit. When it arrived it was in a padded envelope which was fine. It fits my Tab 10.1 quite well with all of the cutouts for buttons, headphone jack, speakers, mic, and 30 pin directly centered over where they should be. The only issue I have is that it is a tiny bit loose on the long sides, probably due to the numerous cutouts. Even with that issue it seems well made and adds some protection against dings, scratches, and drops and it doesnt attract dirt and things like that when you set it down. For $10 you really can't go wrong.
This case is for people that want to keep the same overall shape of the device, but have a little protection. This and a screen protector would keep the device protected well. It is for people that do not want to deal with the flaps and folds from the stand cases and it is also for people that are cheap like me.

Thank you, this case is exactly what I want. I was unsure what it would look like, but thanks to your pics I can see that it looks great. I'm buying one now.
I went ahead and ordered the tpu case. I hope it's much better than the **** gel case I ordered a couple weeks ago. That Chinese black gel case on ebay is low quality and poor fitment.
I use the same case for my tab I got a good deal on ebay with some high quality screen protectors included.
I also use a cheap neoprene case I bought from amazon
http://www.amazon.co.uk/SAMSUNG-P71...2C/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1310663987&sr=8-11
This is useful when transporting the Tab in the boot of my car and doubles as a stand if I roll it up and prop the Tab up on it.
TPU is definately the material of choice for this kind of case and the grip pattern at each end of the case make it easier to hold the Tab.

Love this case. The tab feels better holding. More grip for sure.
Just got mine today from ebay, i really love this. It feel so much better than having a naked tablet i just will never let my tab touch the ground lol
I got a black version from eBay and it arrived yesterday. Very nice because it's not see-thru, it's totally black and makes the Tab very stealthy... Build quality is good considering the price of $12 with free shipping.

Does it seem durable if it was dropped or banged around? I would like to be able to bring it anywhere outdoors and keep it protected fairly well.

I think the case is very slick - nice and thin.
No sure how much protection it offers though.
Probably enough for light impact / against scratches etc. and probably none for 50cm+ drops.
I like that case! Looks really good and professional. Especially if you know the hassle with the Dell Streak cases.

I asked a question as to whether this would actually fit the note. By the looks of it they have just taken the images from cases for other phones, as there is no way the note would fit in it. I'm not sure how custom it is, but I haven't received a response to my question, so I don't think I'll be buying from them until there is confirmation it will actually fit.
Edit: Seems I did get a response, but I only got an email for the first message (a more trivial question). To quote their response:
The pictures are from other model phone. But we can make it to fit Samsung Galaxy Note perfectly.
I believe we can hold them to this, so I might get it.
Here in Greece i had a "leather" pouch custom sewn for my Note at a cost of 20 euros.
It fits nicely and was modded on that of the HTC HD2.
what happens when we drop the note ? will a leather pouch save it from the fall?
such expensive devices need real protection. if only otterbox released a case.
Good point, a pouch won't protect against fall. It will, however, allow the device to be mounted to a belt. That being said, I am still undecided how to go about it. I will probably wait until I have it to make the decision.

I have had a string of devices with PDair vertical sliding cases.
I find them to be the most practical, while offering very good protection.
Am waiting for an order for a case for the Note.
They did have some online when I ordered but have pulled the webpage.
I used to buy cases from Beyza but they seem to have gone over to the dark side and have completely dropped HTC phone cases from their inventory.
Maybe they will make a case for the Note.
Did a quick ebay search and found a 4 results from Germany for Galaxy Note screen protectors by 3M.... never bought from them, but seller ratings look good.

This one i'm aiming for. This will protect the note when it comes for the size of the note.
And, is a screenprotector relevant??? If someone could tell me if it's still needed to protect the screen when it is made of gorilla glass... thnx in advanced.

I totally agree with you on that. And because of the kind of glass you dont need a screenprotector anyway . I'll wait till the white note comes and buy the case from piel frama because my hd2 still looks new after 2 years.

Hi Guys,
Just wondering what cases you guys are using, and whether you have any recommendations at all?
I just picked up a brand new Galaxy W for a very good price on eBay and am interested in using the Galaxy W daily for a while, trying out some of the Development in this section.
I have an outdoors job so prefer bulky/rugged cases, but would love to hear your thoughts on any and all cases, and some photos if you are able!
Cheers! :good:

It's just made of semi-hardened "gel" plastic, but I've dropped the phone numerous times since I got the case and it's protected it perfectly IMHO.
I don't know what the postage/shipping to Australia will be, but if it's cheap, it may be worth a go?

Thanks mate. I have a bit of a soft spot for TPU cases, that one looks good with the 'S' pattern down the back. Does it fit nice and snugly? Ports all line up okay?
Cheers :good:
I have the same case, it looks and fits very good

I love Capdase products. They are so hard to come across in Australia though. That looks beautiful, thanks for sharing!

yep, as ilyamodder says, it fits perfectly, all the ports are accessible (the usb port cover can be a bit hard to open with big fingers, but I just take the cover off when charging )
Got it and a bunch of styluses (stylii? ) for just under €10 inc postage, though postage will be a bit more for you
The case itself does make the phone slightly more bulky though (which is usually no bad thing imho)
I recommend the case highly :good:
the capdase look nice :good:
i bought nillkin snap on cover, waste of money at least to me..make the phone dont feel nice to hold
Any case will do fine but for the best protection choose a TPU-Gel case. If you wanna choose another kind rather than gel, make sure that case covers the top and bottom otherwise your top part will get dented like mine

I love NillKin gear. They make very sexy cases and the best screen protectors on the market. Unfortunately, the hard snap-on cases don't protect top and bottom, which is a definite no-go for me Do you know if they do a TPU for the Galaxy W? I have the smoked TPU for my One X, and it's amazingly good quality.
EDIT: I just found, and bought, my favourite NillKin case ever:

Exactly my thoughts friend Coverage on all sides is very important to me, I am very fussy about scratches on my toys!
I ended up going with these ones:
The all-black looks pretty good!
Keep the suggestions coming, I love to see how you guys protect your toys!
the black one is the one i have
guess the seller i bought it off on Amazon "renamed" it in the description
great case, enjoy it!
juzz86,
nillkin definately very good quality, the plastic feel very nice..all the cutout too are nicely cut just i dont like the feel..should bought tpu instead
I've used Capdase on my previous phones and will definitely use it for my Wonder.
I have just received my Galaxy Wonder.
I have to say, this is a very impressive little handset. I usually use a Note, but the performance and pocket-ability of this little beauty is excellent!
You guys are onto a good thing here :good:
I'm using a nice slim leather slip case (eBay Item number: 390401480600).
It is a good snug fit and offers decent protection.I think that it is actually meant for an iPhone 3G as they are very, very similar in size to the SGW, and doesn't have one of those pull tabs which eventually polish a strip on back of your phone from repeated use.

Nice to hear. Are you using the stock rom or CM9?
I am interested , because i found the performance on the stock ROM was more average than outstanding.
Thus, it's good to hear the opinion of someone who used the Galaxy Note a while.

To be honest I was expecting it to be quite poor by comparison. Happy to report that I was very surprised after having a play. At least on the i8150T, the stock ROM optimisation seems to be very good. Homescreen transitions are nice and smooth, in fact everyday performance in general has been quite good.
It stumbles with Live Wallpapers, and of course the older Adreno doesn't do games particularly well, but I didn't grab it for games. Funnily enough, when I flashed a de-branded ROM onto it, I felt a few more stutters than I did on the Vodafone ROM. So after losing 850 HSPA I've gone back to stock Voda and left it alone.
I'm.really happy with it
I used to use a Capdase case. Quite sturdy: it enables my phone to survive the hands of my 1.5 y.o. boy (who loves to launch things off his hands onto the cold, hard floor). It has cut-outs big enough for a Blackberry charger to charge my W.
I'll post a pic when I get home.

I also use capdase. From the very first day I bought my Galaxy Wonder, capdase case had been protecting it. I just hate when dusts come in. But anyway, when it comes to protection, Im quite satisfied with what the capdase offers.

Can anybody recommend a case for the S2? Most makers will make the same case for the 8.0 and 9.7" so we can keep them all here.
The official tablet cases don't look too easy to hold.
Have you tried it, I think its good.
I think the official book cover is good. It's nice and slim :laugh:
I went with a Ledo case because I don't like traditional cases adding additional bulk. It's made for an iPad mini but it fits my 710 perfectly!

Wow, both cases I like better than anything else I have seen. Can you provide any info on where to find either, especially the first one?

I got it direct from china, so no link available, your only option is from amazon, ebay or aliexpress, although you might not be able to get them for my price.

As much as I like to save, I do notice quality differences between those cheapy ones and the slightly more expensive so called brand name ones. Smudges and fingerprints for example, wipes off easily from my Skinomi on the note 5 whereas the cheap $1.99 ones from ebay not so much.

I've tried many glass protectors, the only ones I call quality are those made from Korea, but those cheap one from china will do for me, used them for many years, not a single problem, I'm very careful with my stuff, used them to protect from scratches:fingers-crossed:.

Official Book Cover for Tab S2
Hey guys, I just bought the Official Book Cover for the Galaxy Tab S2 9.7" version. I'll drop a review video this time next week. Got the black and the gold for my wife. Until then here are some pics. BTW...It's a pretty awesome case!
I got the roocase and I love the vertical stand. I also have the skinomi glass screen protector.
http://www.amazon.com/Features-Landscape-Portrait-Turquoise-Gunmetal/dp/B012HU7C2O
I ordered this one and it looks nice, but the tablet has to be perfectly even or it closes shut. It is also very awkward to open, do not recommend.

Well these came in today. Both were cheap and both fit and function perfectly.
ProCase A fantastic, sturdy, durable folio case for only usd $10. 10 freakin dollars. Seriously is the best $10 I've ever spent.
Paired it with this tempered glass: OMOTON® Tempered-Glass Protector
Anyone who is thinking of the Fosmon TPU and regular clear screen protectors from amazon I just got them. The screen protectors are fine. The case is a very tight fit. Too tight actually that the bottom lip gets pulled back from the surface of the screen.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
Here are some pictures of the roocase, so many different ways to rest the tablet, vertical or horizontal. The tablet also has the skinomi glass screen protector.
See for me I mainly read laying down in bed on my back. It's the only time I use the tablet and it's just for may e a half hour a day. Like now just before bed.
Anyway, coming from the nexus 7 this tablet I'd very hard to hold like this. Very hard to type on though SwiftKey split keyboard helps. It's also really hard to hold above you in suspended form.
The official case while nice doesn't seem to offer much grip. It can make the tablet wider but that's not going to be easy to hold.
I tend to not like cheap cases because with my experience they smell terrible. I have a case for my nexus 7 from Omatom or whatever and it still stinks a year later.
I think a case with a hand strap is probably best for me. What do you guys think?
Hi, I got an origami type case/cover from eBay. It really is good as it folds to hold the tablet vertical or horizontal on a table.
