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. ;-)

No problem.... I fully understand.
P.S. If you think the recommendation deserves a vote of thanks please read my sig.

So I was looking for an efficient way to tote around my nook, ecig stuff, and and other odds and ends to and from work, and while I'm out in the field.
I generally don't carry around enough stuff to warrant a backpack or a messenger bag, but saw that a coworker had a Versipack, and suspected that the rear/CCW pocket the perfect size for the nook... so I picked one up, and it is. Now I just need a name tape to make this one mine.
So for anyone who's interested, here's the Maxpedition link, but it can be had cheaper at other various online vendors:
http://www.maxpedition.com/store/pc/FATBOY-VERSIPACK-4p31.htm
And of course some photos; as you can see it even accommodates the nook with silicone skin and neoprene sleeve. The pack itself is very well-made and looks to be extremely durable. Thumbs-up on this.
I agree the fatboy versipack is great for this. I had the type-s for my kindle originally, now I use it for my wookie (nickname for my wonderful nookie), Evo, usb cable, wall adapter, keys, and a few other things. I love my fatboy =)

I think I might laugh at a guy I saw with one of these, until I noticed that they're designed as ccw holsters! The only problem I can see with it is can it hold my Sig and my nc at the same time?
Ha, I used to have one of those. Good thing to see the Nook fits!
I have a fatboy and upgraded to a colossus, the colossus carries my 9" netbook, nook, nook color and a ton of other items (ds, flashlight, multitool, 1911, blackberry, droid, gps) with some external pouches from tactical tailor. Technology addiction is a horrible thing...

Cool, that's a really nice pack too, just too large for my edc needs.
Aaahh... the good ol' Fatboy... I think I had one of every color at one point LOL, even a few Jumbos'. I'm also an EDC junkie... Right now I'm pimpin' a Tactical Tailor Modular Operator Pack for large edc/shtf, a Tactical Tailor Enhanced Daypack (now discontinued) for regular daily EDC. The Nook fits perfectly in the slip pocket behind the admin area of that. Then theres' a custom bag I had made that acts as a removeable organizer that I keep in the latter. This list goes on....
*Stay AWAY from Kifaru gear, your wallet will hate you....
Yeah a little too large for me as well, but I think Ill get the
JUMBO S-TYPE VERSIPACK
Looks like it will be good for my needs
Can you say....manpurse
I think you mean a small men's carryall.
What's the difference between S-type and non S-type?
I'm fairly sure one is right hand and one is left side. Can't remember which is which though.

Can the regular one hold a NC and a Dell mini 10v? Or would I need to get the Jumbo?

The regular one would hope the NC just fine but for the additional 10v you would need the Jumbo. I found that when loaded the Jumbo got too heavy and made me lean. Unless your a bigger person you may want to consider a small backpack like the Tactical Tailor removeable operator pack I just got. Nice and small and out of the way but still holds plenty. Got mine a few weeks ago and its fantastic.
I was able to find this knock off
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002BJBIRW/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1305576200&sr=8-1
Its pretty good and looks almost exactly as the maxpedition one. It also doubles as a tactical diaper bag door me. The best thing was that it was cheaper and free shipping.

thank you! i just purchased this!
I was looking at the fatboys but then someone mentioned that it isn't stylish enough. So I went searching and found the ultimate metrosexual carryall man purse. http://www.tombihn.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=001&Product_Code=TB0201 in cocoa/wasabi color combo. Fits the nook perfectly. Not to mention a bunch of other crap.
Lol, I just toss mine in my massive timbuktu messenger bag (similar color scheme), though it's seen better days. I think most of the guys looking at the fatboy aren't really going for that metrosexual look.
Hey guys I was browsing around for a nice case at a reasonable price for my Nexus 7 and I came across this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/PU-Leather-...?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item27c98128ab
and
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Navy-PU-Lea...?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item2c66e92d25
They are both from the same vendor I believe but one thing that worries me that in the first picture it seems to cover the navigation bar. Also I seem to like the second style because its unique Id really appreciate your input thanks
EDIT: Bought the first leather one will post review once I get
This is e-bay/amazon, they all sell the same crap.
My advice : go for it.
It's cheap, it's pretty bad, but at the end you get an extra cable, a descent stylus and a cheap case that you can replace when there actually will be good cases on sale. It will keep your tablet safe for the next few weeks/months.
thanks bought it will post a review once it comes. Bought the leather one instead of navy blue

This, lol. Get a cheap one for the meantime until you decide if you want a really nice case. Some of them can be hefty investments, but if they last, then it's worth it! Case in point, I've had the same Incase shoulder bag for years without too much wear.
http://oberondesign.com/e-reader-covers-12/nexus.html
I have not had my hands on any of these cases recently but I did get my hands on one for the nook several years ago. the case was solidly designed and with good quality leather.
They have several nice designs, but are a bit on the more expensive side.

Very nice, pricey (at least for me). Reminded me of Lord of Rings, Wizard-like.
Lol! Paying over 1/3 the price you paid for the actual device on a cover is just dumb to me.

Maybe but i thought they worth mention because i know a lot of "dumb" people that have bought these for their devices. The ipad ones are 123 bucks. But the quality of the covers is probably the tops of what i have ever seen.
I generally HATE leather cases but if they came out with a Necronomicon one a la Evil Dead/Army of Darkness I would be all over it.

+1000!! :laugh:
But I bought one of these for my wifes nook back in the day and it is a sweet case. Definately worth the price, when you talk about quality equating to price.
They look so Diablo'ish! If Deckard Cain had a tablet.... This would be the case he would use!! Haha
Guess I am one of the dumb one. Would prefer buying quality 1 time as opposed to 5 cheap Chinese knockoff crap but more power to you.

Define "Quality" because aside from a single expensive slab of leather, there's NOTHING here. This case offers nearly ZERO protection against, well, anything. The damned tablet is literally held in with STRINGS FFS! Not good ones either, nooo. They are elastic bungee and will allow the thing to hit the ground under impact. Then they want you to bend it backwards and TIE IT THAT WAY and call this a stand? LOL. Now, sure the leather is nice looking. But to call this a "case" is probably illegal in several countries. Let's call it what it is. It's a fashion accessory. Nothing more. Now if a fashion accessory is worth more to you than protecting your device, then by all means spend 70 bucks on it. It's a free country. I want you to have whatever you want, and pay as much as you want to for it. But don't come in here talking down to everyone else that didn't buy this case like we are dumb and are gonna have to replace ours over and over while you, in your infinite wisdom, will not. This just makes you a douche bag, Our cases might be less expensive, but every one of those 5 "Chinese Knockoffs" (as you call them)will protect this device better and for longer than this ridiculous attempt at a case. Does that make you dumb for having bought one? Only if you labor under the delusion that because you paid so much for it, it's somehow a better quality case and will protect your tablet better. Because it won't. Not even close. It's just pretty. Pretty useless.

Definitely agree. Although these are very nice looking, for $70 I'll probably go with something else. The fact that they sell replacement bungee cords makes me question whether it will last.

The replacement cord I think is for the closing mechanism to the case. That would make sense I think.
I bought the case for my wife's nook based on the look, quality and yes protection of it. The nook is already covered with a skin from decalgirl.com and a screen protector, and using this cover does indeed offer some protection. No it's not a Seidio case, it's a case that is pretty much a wallet lol. But the protection I speak of is the protection of the screen from impact if something would happen to fall upon the screen.
But everyone has their opinion, which is fine, but why the hate. If you don't like it, move on. There are many other choices out there besides this if this doesn't float your boat.
Exactly. Never said there was anything wrong with buying it. Just saying that simply because it's 10x the price of all these others does not mean in any way that it's "Worth" 10x as much in protection or durability. So people acting like it is are only kidding themselves.
I was going to buy one instantly, then I saw that the tablet was held in by strings and elastic cords, and while its stunning on the outside, it looks cheap as **** when the cover opens. I wish they had a better looking system to secure the tablet, that's atrocious.

I kinda agree with you there, but I think of it as being able to use the same case in another 7" device down the road.

I've had a couple of their cases and trust, they're anything but cheap looking and feeling. I bought mine used from other forum members, so I paid half, but that's a QUALITY case. They don't charge those prices for nothing. They can charge that because it's a great case and there's a market for them. You won't pay it, fine. They are supposed to have an old world feel to them. The leather and wool on the inside is something.

If you watch the video on the Oberon website it shows that the tablet is held in quite securely in the case. Also they give you extra strings to close the latch so if you can go a year without having to replace it I'd consider that a non issue.
I'm interested in hearing any reviews for this case

I wouldn't care if it would be three times the cost of the device, I would definitely be buying that! :laugh:
No I don't belive cost = quality (far from it actually). Didn't mean to start anything but I do think a lot of thought went into these. The video was very informative about the design choices (which is what it always comes down to).
As far as protection my opinion is that as long as the cover is closed the edges of the leather will absorb more than most without transferring the shock to the tablet. If it falls with the cover open there is a greater chance of it breaking (just like the rest)

No doubt. I guess it's only fair though. They always pay way more than us bloody Yanks from across the pond- right, mate?
The Lautner covers are really nice.
At least we can get the Poetic case from Amazon for 5 bucks. It's not too shabby.

Lol. Yeah. I was kinda wanting to go with the Groovy (in blue).. like having the option to use it as a stand for video and reading on breaks. Guess I'll have to check out some of the Amazon ones. Only thing I noticed on most of those is they all seem to have that frame around the sides of the screen.. not sure if I'd like that. Does the auto sleep thing work ok with those? (I currently just have a sleeve I keep mine in that slides into a pocket in my shoulder bag, but I think a case/cover might be better.. less parts to have to deal with. Lol)

The cheap Poetic case can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-StrapBack-Protective-Function-Manufacturer/dp/B00AAKLDN8.
I hate cases that cover the bezel. This one fits the bill, has the magnetic on/off, and does well as a stand. (side rant: I never understood manufacturers who place the inside surface of a cover on a table when in stand mode. Great way to pick up all sorts of debris and possible scratches. This one doesn't do that, thankfully.)
I'm happy with it. Looks sleek when closed. One potential caveat : it will have that new car smell for a week or so. Didn't bother me, but may some. I would have been happy with this case for 4x the price.
By the way - While I highly recommend this for the HD+, I just as highly don't recommend it for the HD. Given the way the HD is made, it will have possible problems.

Ahh OK. Hadn't really noticed that one for some reason. I had been looking at these: http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Slimline-Portfolio-Manufacturer-Warranty/dp/B00B20N9XW Which, as you you mentioned have you putting at least part of the inside cover against the table. While the only time I'll probably be using the stand feature is at work.. those break room tables can definitely be nasty at times.
Actually now that I look at it, I remember why I'd skipped over this one, there seemed to be several complaints on Amazon of this cover damaging people's Nooks??
The Nook HD version can damage your device. The HD+ one is fine.

Really disappointed in the Lautner case. Adds a lot of bulk and not anywhere near as light as I expected. Luckily it was only £5,the original £35 is daylight robbery.
Thanks for the heads up, picked up two USB cables and chargers for less than the price of one (planned to get one anyway and handy having a spare).
they don't ship oversea (from B&N-UK-website to France/Belgium/Netherlands...)
They do from B&N-US-website, but the prices are higher and the shipment cost also (which is logical: US -> EU)
I've just ordered a Nook HD+, to start reading/try annotating texts on a tablet, thanks to their current low prices (I had to look for a place shipping overseas). It's a pitty I can't do the same with the accessories. Well, I'll have to look further for those. Or maybe see if no one I know is going to the UK anytime soon

I'd been watching eBay and Amazon hoping for just such a find but since eBay's search ignores the "+" I found myself using 9 in the search terms to narrow it down.. this one flew right under the radar. Had $18 in my PayPal account from Ebates so this one will be free!
Nice.

I'm liking it a lot actually. Works good, not a ton of options for angles, but you only really need two anyway, ya know? I love the auto sleep/wake feature too.. the cover keeps it from coming on in my backback and draining the battery down. And it looks very nice, not cheap and plasticy.
eBay is definitely my first stop, then Amazon, then from there I go poking around the different sites .. but I'd say 99% of my online purchases are either from eBay or Amazon.
Why UK only?
Can someone buy me some things and ship them to Germany?
