Picked this up online at HandheldItems for $6 (after using coupon code: galaxytab20 for 20% off). It fits the Tab very snugly, has all the ports/controls exposed & has a sorta smooth matte finish instead of a glossy/rubbery finish like other TPU cases.
It's good quality for generic & you can't beat the price for what you get. Much better option IMO than blowing $40 on the Belkin Grip Vue that Best Buy is selling (which covers up the SD & SIM slots!).
The cheap silicon skin I bought for my Tab is on all the time.
Great essential protection against scratches and knocks, good grip, minimum footprint.
Where did you get it from?and how much it cost?

Got it here for around $6 after applying the 20% off coupon code I mentioned in the original post: http://www.handhelditems.com/samsung-galaxy-frosted-skin-with-side-grip-solid-black-p-152335.html
Thanks alot sorry for the inconvinient
To OP...thanks for the link, am thinking of ordering one...for back protection I already ordered a Skinit skin...not sure if it will cover the sides, if not will order one of these...
Would have preferred an Otterbox but they don't have a case for the Tab yet...:-(

Cool. yeah, they had that one too but I was afraid that since I had the all black Tab that the clear TPU case would be more like "frosted" & make the black back look all faded & kinda off color.
Is the clear one really clear, or is it frosted a bit??

It's frosted, if you want clear you might want to consider brando clear hard shell
Wanted to order but changed my mind...shipping cost for an US$8 case is US$25!!! That made me think twice...will see if I can pick up something cheaper locally...:-(

Keep in mind its generic so you can pick it up on eBay too for probably free shipping. It'll most likely ship from somewhere in Asia though & take longer.

Got my ebay case/skin. It's rubbery, fits well will contours matching the back of the phone. Camera, power, and volume are raised nubs, not cut-outs. Actually this helps with button actuation. Changes the feel of the phone in the hand substantially for the better. You have more control while typing, and you don't feel like the phone will squirt from your hand. Note this is the rubbery-soft type, not the gel type of skin (e.g. like the BodyGlove that AT&T sells).

Amzer Silicone Skin Jelly Case
I ordered the Amzer Silicon Skin Jelly Case for my Samsung Focus from Amzer.com and WOW!!! ... talk about absolute perfection!
I tried the $34 one from the AT&T store and it seemed like an idiot designed it and so of course I didn't expect much from a $10 case but figured it would be something until more are developed for this type of phone.
Boy was I wrong about this being a temporary fix because this $10 thinhg fits absolutely perfect, no obstruction with the buttons, looks amazing, feels like it protects this thing PERFECTLY! and feels so velvety smooth & grippy.
The reason I got mine already is because the black color is out of stock but not the other colors and so I ordered black for myself and maroon red for my wife and so they shipped hers already with no extra shipping charges. AND might I add that the maroon red doesn't look girly at all, it actually looks pretty bad-a%% with the black color of the phone. Of course I'm still waiting for my black one BUT for those want it now, the maroon red is the coolest color right after black.
I just ordered 2 of those jelly cases for the Wife and I, and I ordered a cool leather pouch w/belt clip case from www.focusaccessories.com to hold mine at work...
Could you post pics of your Focus with the Amzer case?

I got the Raider case from Amazon for $4 (US). Hard plastic. The front and back snap together around the phone. I had a different case (AFG?), but it covered the power button and volume rocker, making them hard to operate. The Raider case has openings for the buttons.
Ordered the Incipio Feather last night, should arrive later this week. Comes with a screen protector too, which is a nice little plus. It's a few $ cheaper on Amazon vs myincipio.com site.

and I still can't find a place that ships over to Brazil...
but hey, still about the ROCK case, if you want some more vivid colors, you can look for Yetaa website, then go to MobileMate section and look for it. they have some really nice colors for this case.
don't know if that store is trustworthy, tho
I ordered a Rock case the day I got my phone, but also ended up ordering a similar case from Best Buy (Canada, online only, the US store seems to not stock it) since I didn't want to carry the phone naked for three weeks while I waited for the Rock to arrive from China.
They're virtually exactly the same, but I prefer the Affinity case to the Rock case (it was also about five bucks cheaper) as it offers a bit more coverage at the top and bottom of the phone. The Affinity case actually dips in to cover the area between the headphone jack and power button. I'll see if I can't take a picture to compare the two sometime. I'd definitely recommend the Best Buy case to any users in Canada.
I've seen that one at BB. I ended up getting a commuter case, and it's great but sometimes it's annoying that it's such a dust magnet. I have to take it out and wash the case weekly. I bought a smoke TPU case off amazon but I don't really like it, so I might grab that one from BB as a backup.
Yeah, it turns out I was misinformed about it not being available in-store. I just checked and they have them at the two nearest Best Buys to me.
You can't really go wrong for $10, especially without having to wait for it in the mail.
How weird would it look like if i put a black case on my white vivid? Just wondering. Most cases I find are black...
My Incipio Feather case arrived from Amazon today, sells for $16.50 there. It's what I expected... like all of the other feather/barely there type cases. Fits well, with a nice smooth rubberized finish. Also came with a free glossy screeen protector, which is a nice bonus. These types of cases don't offer a ton of protection, but fine for around the house/office, to avoid scuffs and scratches. For what it is, I'm happy with it.

I have the translucent, frost colored one, looks good on my white N7000.. They are a pain to take off, usb cable does not fit in the port properly and pops out easily. It's also disposable, I imagine after 6 months it will look pretty ratty. That all said, I like it, it's very thin. I bought 3 for $6 shipped. So I'm set for a while.
There's no thinner case than no case at all. The back is replaceable for less than what you pay for a case if it gets scratched or cracked.
With a thin case, you're not getting much shock protection against a drop anyway, so the only thing that worries me is the finish around the edge trim wearing off, so I use a bumper.

I bought this case and got it within a week from china. Simply amazing is the only way to describe it. It fits perfectly on the phone, it leave the "naked" feel of no case yet still offers some protection. Sure if you drop it the phone will still get damaged but for me I don't have to worry about throwing it down on my desk and scratching the phone up. I loved it so much I bought another one... My two complaints are 1. the usb port cutout of a tad too small and some wires don't fit all the way so they pop out. 2. It's nearly impossible to get this thing off the phone once it's on because it's so thin I feel like I'll break it trying.
The only bad thing about that case is that the sides are not really protected. Other than that, it's not a bad case at all.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2
I could care less about the back cover since they're like $10 to replace, it's the plastic chrome sides that need protecting.
I purchased two of these cases from a company called Strapya. They are made in Japan by a company called Rayout. I modified about ten cheap ebay cases to work with my Samsung flip case by cutting out one of the sides. They looked okay, but I'm a bit OCD, and I wanted something that is pre-made to work with the Samsung flip case. I was not disappointed in these, even though I ended up paying about $35 total after shipping for two cases, an orange and a black case. At about $18 per case (after shipping), it's true they are a lot more expensive than $2 TPU ebay cases, but they have a much different feel. The TPU has a spongy texture that isn't slippery. It's also thicker, tougher-feeling, and weightier than cheap ebay TPU. The cuts are obviously smooth and perfect. I am very satisfied.

The thread you pointed to is people modifying their cases. If I am not mistaken, this one is about not modifying a case. In my opinion it's not the same.
I appreciate this thread because I have been curious as to how the store bought cases compare to the modded ones. This info would have gotten lost had it been posted in the other thread.

Sure. I initially left out a link to the cases on the Strapya website, but I amended my original post. I bought two because the shipping cost is equal to the price of one case. If I recall correctly, you can get two cases, and the combined shipping is the same as buying one case.

I buy cheap ebay cases. Works for me. Not buying a slim case this time. There's one i like but the seller only posted photos for older G and other brands, not g3. Waiting for more sellers to post. These cases are cheap on alibaba ~$0.70/each minimum order 100 pieces )))) so i won't be getting a good deal on a case. Ordered cheap screen protectors like i always do for all my devices. They work the best and make the screen usable when i wear polarized sunglasses. The screen is weird with all the lines and dots reflecting in sunlight. Hope a protector will block the glare and digitizer reflection.
update: not buying a cheap case this time. One POS case looks good in picture, turned out to be crap. I'm spending a little more money this time.
