So I bought a nookcolor the other day. It's a fun toy, but it won't replace my Galaxy Tab. I bought the grey canvasy case for the nook and I really wish that I could keep my Tab in it >:/ seeing as the nookcolor is only a smidgeon larger than my Tab, wouldn't it be possible to modify the case? Im willing to reimburse anyone who could try to help me with this.
If the Tab is smaller just add felt padding to compensate for the space. If that is too complicated I would suggest drinking and go from there.
For the money you will spend on shipping, materials and compensation for whomever helps you it would be cheaper to just buy a case that actually fits. Hit up ebay; lots of different cases coming out of the shops in hong kong these days...
Try a little Sugru (moldable silicone that cures into a permanent shape).
I bought an official case from B&N, which I like, but I wanted it to look even more like a regular book, so I screwed it into the cover of a book that I gutted. PLaced some sugru over the exposed bolts and now I have a regular book.
Wait! That's not a book!
Please see next post for attached photos.

All I can think of is, why did you buy a Nook if you already had a Galaxy Tab? Here I am working my cheeks off to get native android running so that my $250 Nook can do some of the things a Galaxy Tab can do...
I am getting great ideas from all you guys on how to build a case, thanks...

nah, the cheapest is ACTUALLY using the box... which I suggest using =P
View attachment 464883
I never even thought about using the box...that's awesome.
I picked up a $2 business card holder from Staples and glued a couple soft plastic pieces that I had in my misc. parts box to it. It holds my NC nice and sturdy now.
Walmart sells a "tablet stand" which folds up and is pretty nice

I'd say a stand is the least of your problems

Yes, agreed. I like how you can fold the box flap at two different angles. No matter whether the "n" logo on the back of the box is face up or down you can set your NC inside the box. I rather like the position with the 'n' logo facing down. So, it's a two way stand!

Rubber band man
Wow, you all make me feel weird, now. Rubber bands, baby, that's the answer to the problem. Well, them and one of those BN NC book covers. On one side, a chain of six, triple looped. On the other side, a 4-chain, double looped. It holds it at the perfect angle for me to watch Burn Notice or anything else I please.
Also, the rubber bands double as artillery launchers!
So now people can really know the genius behind a kickstand on the EVO!
It's evolutionary!

How about this ?

i have a gorillapod for my digital camera that i normally travel with. i found that you can easily shape it into a stand for any angle/orientation, and all the nodes have a rubber surface for gripping that wont scratch your device.

didn't think of this, works awesome. thank you. especially since i upgraded to DSLR and this thing has been collecting dust in my junk drawer
I find the plate holders you can find at Walmart or Target work great for Gtab and the NC.
Here's youtube video of one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGMIAPdysKg
I bought the Arkon folding stand from Amazon to keep in my purse to use when I travel, shop or dine out by myself and I love it.
That said, for general use around the house I got a small $4.99 easel stand from Target (they had it out with the picture frames) that works really well, and comes in black, oak and cherry....
Both stands hold my NC with my Oberon cover on it. Very nice...
Has anyone come across a case for the Tab which can hold money/cards as well?
Ideally I'd like to have a case with the snap-in (like the Scosche) but with internal pockets for money/cards and preferably some sort of handle on the outside (so it's harder to lose).
Any ideas?
Noreve do excellent cases and have one for the Tab which fits your requirement.
Some traders have the Black standard one in stock but if you want to customize it go direct to Noreve (I did when I purchased a case for my SGS).
Here's the link.
Thanks beards,
Looks dead nice actually, but a bit on the expensive side.
Knowing my luck, I'll spend £50 on this case, then lose the Tab. ;-)

I've been on the hunt for a really slim, lightweight case for my Incredible. I have the white HTC battery cover, so I was hoping for something like the iPhone "bumper" cases that allow the back to show through. Since there doesn't seem to be much in that department, I went hunting for the closest thing: the REVEAL by Griffin Technologies.
I really really like it, and couldn't find any other discussion of it, so I did a quick video review, and also took some close-up photos. I promise this isn't an ad, I actually do love this case!
Griffin sells it for $24.99, but you might be able to find it cheaper somewhere else.

I can't really find it anywhere except griffin and bestbuy. I found one for $17.99 from one place but it had terrible sales reviews and I didn't want to risk it.
You just sold me on this so hard. Buying right now. Looks amazing with the white back, I can't wait to show it off finally, haha.
Oh by the way, check it out all. Found a coupon code if you order direct from Griffin Technology's website. The code is PIRILLO1510, it seems to have been active for a few months and you get 15% and free shipping. I can confirm it works. Hope this will help someone else out.

Nice review I was in the market for a case earlier in January but I got one before I saw your review. Then again, maybe if I had a cool white battery cover it'd look cooler. I still have the stock black one.
I actually just ordered one aswell with the discount code mentioned above the free shipping says it only lasts til feb 28 tho cant wait for it!

For those who have bought this case,
How rubbery is the black part of the case? Is there plenty of flex to easily hit all the buttons? Does it feel solid or cheap?

sides are flexable... real solid feeling and slim.. the buttons are easily pressed..by far the best case ive owned..I have the SPECK, otterbox commuter, and various "slim" fit cases and this case surpasses them by far...my case shopping days are over.

Hey,
Just brought a Belkin case from PCWorld designed for the Galaxy Tab 2 10" and its a perfect fit. Holding the Nexus 10 up to the Tab 2 it's easy to see why. They are pretty much identical. Has the 3 fold design too. Now if I could just fit a small magnet under the material it would switch off when closed
Pictures to follow!
Whats the product name of the case you bought im heading to pc world later
Its called the Belkin Tri-Fold Folio with stand.
Luckily the shape of the corner grips means that although it covers part of the power button it doesn't actually touch it.
Thanks for the pics!

Came up at £34.99 but as soon as I said the price was wrong they did it for £29.99 without any questions.
What would you rate it on a scale of 1/10?
Does the back align with the camera as well?

Thanks, I just ordered one. My N10 comes today due to UPS leaving it at their shipping facility on Friday
Thanks! Needed something to protect my baby until the hardshell keyboard cases come out!
I just ordered a zoogue galaxy tab case. Says it fits both tab 10.1s.
I have a zoogue case for my Xoom and I love it.
It is a bit pricey ($55 shipped) and I would call it more of a couch / indoor case.
I will post pics when I get it. The race is on both N10 and case where ordered tonight!
Only problem with the tab cases is they cover a good portion of the side speakers I hate not having a case on this thing...

Yes I seen that. I hope it does not sound to bad.
I just really like the adjustability of the case. I can go all the way forward or all the way back and any place in between.. Not just 3 notches like many cases similar to this.
I'm very excited and can't wait or sleep for that matter.. Ha
awesome! looks like a nice case. Will stop by a best buy tomorrow to try her out.

The Samsung clear view cases they look real smart but seem a bit pricey at 40 to 50 pounds depending on the colour I think Cheers Tony
I like it but the front cover scratches way to easy. I have had mine for 24 hours and its already scratched up!
I have read good reviews on this clear case.
http://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Spigen...3WVE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1429730159&sr=8-2
It costs a fraction of what Samsung is charging for theirs. Plus, it works with wireless charging.
uhh can i see what you are talking about OP?
I just ordered this, unfortunately it says it won't be here for about a month. I doubt it's going to look anything like the stock photos though.

If you were clever enough you would have taken the time to search "galaxy s6 clear view case" rather than commenting saying you dont know what im talking about.
Anyway, here it is (see attached).
not famous
Sorry! This is not famous at all
I have both Clear cover and Clear view cover. They are pretty good looking, but unfortunately the durability is laking: around 24h is enough to get firsts scraches. For the price ( 24€ for 1st and around 50€ for the 2nd) I'm a bit disappointed, how could it ever last a year with such vulnerability ?
Though it offers a pretty poor protection: metal edges aren't covered at all, and after first drop, get a bad scraches on aluminium. Fortunately I get a replacement for pixel problem, so my phone is bright new right now.
Gold colur device pair with silver clear view case. 100% match.

It would be nice is Samsung would get this **** together and have product available for sale on their US site. Every time a new phone comes out they are months behind in getting accessories out.
More clear look on Samsung Clear View Case.
very nice case, when devs mods on this case then it will be brilliant
Yeah the case itself is very good looking and very sleek. There's a lot og good reviews about this case as well so might be a bang for buck case thus far.
