Has anyone got one of the cases Samsung is offering on there site?
Apparently I'm too new to post a URL here, but basically if you go to Samsung's website and look at their accessories for the Vibrant you can see them.
Just wondering if they were worth the hefty price tag. Also would be nice to have one that didn't cover the volume and lock buttons like the gel case that tmo sells does.
Nah I think they are too expensive and besides they are gel and will probably stick in your pocket. I went with a rubberized, plastic cover from ebay..
I bought a gel case from Ebay, it fits perfectly well although it said for Galaxy S. Really good deal considering $6 with free shipping.
I have posted this on t-mobile...I have the tmo one but like the blue galaxy s design on the sammy and was looking for a comparo of the two.

Hey guys,
I got the tab at i/o and I've been waiting for months to get some accessories. Now it's finally available in Canada and I still can't seem to find any. The source has the book cover case for $65 but that's it. Does samsung sell them? I can't find any way to buy them from their site.
Maybe if best buy ever gets this thing in stock, they'll carry some accessories..
Thanks,
Sam
I haven't been able to find any either. I'm thinking I will prob buy online.
I haven't been able to find any accessories in Canada either. I ended up getting one of those slim TPU cases online through eBay, and a 10" netbook sleeve makes a great carry case I found
I think ebay is your best bet. I was forced to by the book case from the Source yesterday but didn't want to wait 2 weeks for it to be shipped from the UK.
I also bought the Samsung case from the source yesterday. At first I hesitated because it was so expenice, $73 with tax. But I'm glad I got it, as I really like the case. It was the thinnest case I've ever owned, after using many for my ipad.
The material also seems very durable, and does NOT show any finger grease! So no cleaning is required. Also I love the "4 clip at the corners" design. It doesn't cover any basel and I can clip my GT "upside down", which I am currently doing to also better access to the buttons. (I will never use the rear camera so don't care that its covered).

Has all you need. Cables, adaptors, docks and cases.
also, the source has the book case for $54 right now, i bought it. So thin and light it barely adds to the tablet.

How? I just bought mine, and it was $65 + tax from the Source store. This is the price they have online too.

Nooo, don't order from expansys! They list items in stock and once you proceed through their checkout the item then shows out of stock. Google their reviews and judge for yourself. I was going to buy my tablet from them. Their website said IN STOCK (more than 100) and as soon as I placed my order it showed out of stock. I cancelled my order then.

The samsung case is nice, but sometimes you need to clip it in upside down if you want to use the low angle position (where the flap fits in that groove). Quite a few apps that require landscape mode will not run upside down - so if you don't flip the tablet, your view is upside down. Using the camera is also a HUGE pain with this case. Really, this should be priced at $30, not at an overpriced $65. I still like the case and it's thinness is very nice.
I really want the usb connection kit now...

If you look at the last page of the flyer it says $10 off accessories for the tab, and the book case is listed as a sku. I actually had to show the guy at the till becuase it doesn't auto corrct the price. He adjusted the price without any hassel.

I hate the source. How can they not automatically adjust the price when the sale is not their own flyer!!! To make it worse, I realized that the sale is not for all stores. Depending on which store your select when you lookup the online flyer, that last page of the flyer may or may not have the $10 off section. Wired, huh?
Luckily, the store where I bought it from did have the sale. I did have to drive back there, and get them to look up their own flyer to give me the $10 refund. The saleperson had no idea what's going on. I wouldn't say she was particularly nice during the process.
The only other store in town that still have stock for the book case was NOT part of the sale. If I pick their store when looking up the online flyer, that bottom section disappeared from the flyer on p. 18.
Once again, I hate the source. Stupidest way of handling their own sale. The whole process felt like I'm getting their to price match a competitor's flyer.
I know this should probably go in question and answers but it pertains specifically to accessories so I'm posting it here. Is there anyone nationwide that actually sells cellphone cases and whatnot anymore? Other than Verizon stores small selection (even at flagship stores), I can't seem to find anywhere that actually carries more than one or two cases for this phone or any cell for that matter other than iPhone crap. I love online prices but I've probably wasted almost 100 bucks on cases for this phone because I can't actually see or try them before I buy. I happen to have the GSM with extended battery but ran into the same problems with the non extended GSM I bought for my wife and also when shopping for cases for my dads Verizon model. It is extremely frustrating. Most cases don't fit properly or peel screen protectors when installing or removing. I'm not blaming case makers for this even, but it seems like such a shame that you have to go online and roll the dice for everything nowadays. I buy lots online so I'm not pining for the good old days or anything like that but some stuff you want to see and feel before you buy. Buying most of these online means you waste lots on shipping to return to the point where going through the hassle isn't worth it.
Are any national retailers carrying this phones accessories? I'm willing to pay a bit more to get something that actually works for me.

The only major retailer I can think of, that we have in common, that carries stuff here is Best Buy. They have ~6 case options: Casemate, Otterbox (both versions), Incipio (a couple of versions), +. I can't imagine there being less of a selection at BB in the US.
I've tried a few, and I'm picky, I ended up ordering the Cruzerlite Androidify; very happy with fit, feel, size, etc... The Incipio Feather and Casemate Barely There left me underwhelmed; they can't seem to get the fit right for devices that have curves.
Thanks for the reply. I have 2 cruzer lite cases. One is smoked which I kept, and gave the clear Andy version to my dad with his new lte extended battery. They are nice but tpu cases aren't my favorite. I'm using an sgp Neo hybrid right now and its alright but has a bit of a gap around the camera hole on the extended GSM battery model. I'm looking to find a case that has a little more protection for travel. The case mate tough does not fit for extended and my wife's non extended causes the protector to peel.

I've seen them on ebay for under 20$, don't know about white though. And if you're ok with non-oem, it's even cheaper.
I ordered oem grey from hong kong, $12 shipped. But havent looked at it yet, since im out of town ? anxious to see if its really oem, not counting on it tho

Looking for a shop that sells internationally and has good prices and isn't scamazon. There are tons of ebay sellers with lookalike covers. They all say genuine, oem etc. I can't tell which ones are real and which are fakes. The only one I'm fairly sure is legit is from Korea and costs a fair bundle of money. Any ideas guys? Thanks.
I bought mine from aliexpress

How do you know it's not fake?
I am sure it is but it fits and works perfectly and cost 10 dollars

ok well my question was where to buy the original case. i know some of the fakes are probably as good or better but it sucks taking a chance since it takes so long to get here
It's a case not the tablet itself as long as it protects the tablet what difference does it make? But hey it's your money just giving you another option and if you want an original cover just get from your Internet provider, that way you can the maximum possible price for something that a fake does the same for 10 bucks

I got a legit one from Conrad, for €40 (which is €20 cheaper than Samsung direct).
I bought a Moko cover, it only cost $15 but has a cover. It also covers the corners so if it's dropped it's pretty well protected. In the U.S. Amazon sells it.
I have an el-cheapo Chinese cover coming probably today or tomorrow. Will post comments/pics.
Have not found an affordable source for the official book cover. I'll try to pick it up when I'm travelling for work to a place where there is a Samsung store (none in my country).
Anybody tried the Samsung bluetooth keyboard? Any good?
I have just bought a new Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 Value Edition (that's what it's called here in Switzerland, it's the upgraded version with the octa core processor) and I am looking for a case that has a strap on the back that makes the tablet easier to hold with one hand, preferably a rotatable one but a static one would do as well, does anybody already have something like that for the 8 inch S2 version that he could suggest to me or has anybody heard of a good case with such a feature? Otterbox, Griffin etc. dont seem to sell any cases with a strap on the back for the Tab S2.
Ebay or Amazon my friend....used probably....
