Hello all, i seem to have found a pretty sweet little bag that fits the Galaxy Tab and several accessories quite nicely and also is rather small.
Its made by SwissGear and called the SwissGear Travel Shoulder Bag.
( at target for onlu $11.99 !!, http://www.target.com/Swiss-Gear-Over-Shoulder-Travel/dp/B002JD0S1M )
Its marketed as a camera bag but works great w/the Tab. I have a review and pics up on my blog at:
http://blogs.tech-recipes.com/seamo...g-swissgear-travel-shoulder-bag-quick-review/
Looks good but lacks a padded pocket. I can see myself using this when the weather gets nicer on day excursions outside, etc.
Nice find, thanks for posting it. I was looking for something similar.

Based on your review I thought I'd pass by my local Target and check it out. It is a very nice bag and see what you're talking about. My Target had it on clearance for $19.99. I was about to fight to get the internet price when I came across the Swiss Army carry on bag (named differently on their website.) It's just slightly larger but just enough.
Check it out - http://goo.gl/AyZbD
Either one would work for most people. Since I carry multiple chargers and IT stuff, this worked a little better.
That keyboard looks like the BEEWI BBK200 ?
What is it like ?
I've been looking at messenger bags for a while now. I got a larger chrome bag awhile back for travel, and I am very pleased with it. I have been thinking I might get another for more casual use, smaller and simpler. I am definitely going to stop by target and take a look at this swiss tech bag simply because of price.
Here are my other, more pricey candidates:

i believe that is the one, i got it from meritline i believe. its ok, i've realized that thumb keyboards are only as good as the button layouts; its not really optimized for two finger thumb typing but does the trick when i need a keyboard for the tab or phone or ps3.
thats a nice find too! i'm a fan of the swissgear stuff, i have their luggage set too; so far its made it across coast to coast twice this year.
Question about your awsome messenger bag. Do you think it would hold the samsung galaxy keyboard dock?

I find these adidas city/messenger bags are an almost exact fit for the Tab..
I have 4 different styles and the tab just fits like a glove!
hmm, i don't think it will. the keyboard may be too big fit. is it the same size as the Tab (bt keyboard dock)?

def worth the price, seems to be padded too.
How did you manage to connect the BeeWii BBK200 to your android? It's not recognized on the HTC Wildfire/Froyo... missing a driver probably (Teksoft bluetooth keyboard driver doesn't work).
Thx

There is a site in English but the photos are not as good.
A limited range is available on amazon.co.uk at much lower prices
Any reviews on this case? http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax...AHFM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1307237489&sr=8-1
seems real light
im using the same case. not really that light but fits the SGT perfectly and really protects it.
I also have it, and use it every day.
You will have to take it off if you use the docking, but thats the only down side.
I really like this part where it can stand on a table.
The Scosche case is fantastic!
I have the Samsung case as well. I think it provides good protection and it does work great as a standing case as well. Just wish there was a way to secure the cover closed. I picked it up directly from Samsung for $44 so for $20 it's a steal.
It covers the rear camera. I don't like it at all.

NOTE TO ALL don't buy it from the link I had. They mislabeled the item and its really the Official Samsung silicon back cover. I can ship it back for free for a refund but what a pain in the neck as I can't take my TAB out anywhere for fear of scratching it. Just get it from Samsung, which is what I am doing right now.

Not the typical sleeve. It folds into a stand which I thought was cool and you can enjoy the n7 without having something bulky/clumsy around it.
Now that's more useful than that stick-it-on-the-fridge-door thing that's been posted.
/off to check eBay uk for one.
Let us know if you buy one. Would like to know how it performs. Looks pretty cool. Good find.

That's pretty handy to me as i hate cases when I'm playing games on the tablet but I'd like a sleeve and a stand for it
I also wondered if there's a sleeve like the BlackBerry cases which have magnets in them...in the phone they were used to silence the phone but here it would be useful to wake the tablet up while you're pulling it out of the sleeve
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using Tapatalk 2
That kind of sleeve would be useful, and if this case was any cheaper, I'd buy it, but for now I'm waiting till I get my actual device and get my TPU on it before I look for sleeve that can hold it in its tpu case.

It looks way too oversized to me. Love the concept but I wouldn't buy one twice the size of my tablet.
That is a pretty neat idea - I'd think about picking up a non-leather version.

He guys, I found another leather flip case that seems really nice. I like the colors but wish there was a blue similar to the Asus Nexus 7 cases.

The one thing that concerns me is that it is magnetic. Is that safe? I found a video of the case(s) on youtube.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLwx4kSB7Pw
I really wanted one of those as well but being magnetic is a no go.

Besides being magnetic, they seem to be the all around best flip cover I've found (besides the Official Samsung Flip Cover that haven't looked at.) Nice colors, good design, appears to be good quality....... Guess we'll have to wait for something else.
I received this case the other day and the quality and feel is excellent. It is a beautiful case. I'm going to give it and try on my Note when I receive it. I like it better than the official Samsung flip cover.
Any feed back on the magnetic case being safe. I am getting my note 11\1 amenities want to order the case ahead of time. So far I am liking this case.

Safe? Well, it's not going to damage anything much, but it WILL screw with the S-Pen, and render the compass completely useless.
Ive got the case and been using it the last few days with no ill effects what so ever!!!
The magnet is next to the front camera and doesnt screw with the S pen at all. ln regards to the compass I cant comment as l dont use it (l dont think)!!!
All in all a really nice solid case - no complaints so far.
ps - went for the black and beige one - looks smart!
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
The case is safe. Smart covers for tablets (N7, Ipad) contain magnets. That is how they automatically wake up when you open them.
I bought this aswell hopefully there are no side effects. I plan on installing a landyard in it aswell. The note wont fit in all my jeans pockets ; p

I see now. It looks like butt. At least the colors do.
Ok I just bought it as well the black one as it looks beautifull and it has a kickstand feature what more do you want from a case all for a super price delivered what are you waiting for guys?
I have this case in black and I absolutely LOVE it.
It looks amazing, isn't bulky and the materials are top-notch. The phone doesn't move a millimeter. I haven't used the pocket yet, but I think it's a handy feature.
The magnet is a plus for me. It hasn't caused any problems.
I didn't want the official case, because it's made of the same chintzy plastic as the stock back - which I don't like at all.
FYI I have a brand new one of these cases available for $15.00 shipped. I'm located in the US so shipping will be a lot quicker than China. Please see the thread below for details

I'm looking at this case too and have a couple questions.
Does NFC still work?
What is it like to text and make phone calls on it?
Do you think it would still fit in a car mount with the back cover flipped around?
How easy is it to take in and out of the case?
I will NEVER use a magnetic case on my devices.
Very expensive device + magnet = prone to damage.

You ever use the OG Droid? Both the car dock and desk dock used magnets. Magnets are fine with these devices
I doubt a low strength magnet would have any negative effect on the device.
I ordered a wallet case with a magnetic clasp and initially I was worried about dead spots on the screen. Having received the case and seeing how laughably weak they are (just enough to hold the front panel shut, absolutely no more) I'm not sweating it at all.
I'm eagerly waiting for the FedEx guy now, but I'll report back and tell of any issues.
Don't think anyone else has mentioned this yet. Save up to 86% Just bought a Nook 360 Stand for Nook HD for a fiver delivered. Was £34.95. Not bad! Also other accessories like screen covers and power leads on sale.

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

Aaaand then there was one. Thanks for spotting that @adam_ky ! Sure beats the $32 "clearance" one I found at Wal-Mart. Lol
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?
