Has anyone seen one of these in person? I've only seen them on the Verizon Wireless website. I sent an email to Otterbox and they said it is exclusive to Verizon and they don't have any plans to make a Commuter case, which would be my preference. Does any one have any other detailed pictures of one of these? I'd like to have a better idea of how bulky the case is before I attempt to buy one.

huh, I thought it was some kind of glitch since it wasn't on the otterbox site. I have the commuter for two other phones and like them, would have preferred that over the defender.
I use the Commuter cases for my BB...they are quite good and very low profile! I also sent them a mail...wish they would hurry up and manufacture some...even Defender cases would be fine...

Manufacture some what? They are already making the Defender case but you can only buy it from Verizon. They have no plans to make a Commuter series case for the Galaxy Tab according to the email I received.
I received my Otterbox for my Galaxy Tab today. It seems very nice, and as normal for Otterbox defenders very bulky. I do not mind the bulk knowing that my device is stronger/safer. My fav part of the case is the removable back piece that can pop up into a kickstand (rubber feet and all) for the tab.
None the less, here are a few pics I took with my phone.

They are similar to the ipad ones. Where did you get them? Did you buy them online out are they available on the store?

The only place that I found it available is Verizon.com. I don't know how they have it when no one (including otterbox themselves) seems to be able to get it. I tried to find it discounted on the interwebs first with no luck.
Are you able to post the dimensions of the otterbox defender?
Also, can you confirm that the removable back cover also fits over the front to protect the screen when not in use.
They are not available here in new zealand (but then again, neither is the galaxy tab), so I might get a friend to pick one up from optus in australia.

Dimensions: 1.25 X 5.5 X 7.75 Inches (3.18 X 13.97 X 19.69 CM)
The back cover will fit on the front, but where it is not touching any of the tablet except for the 4 corners, it does not feel solid any longer. It has a small wiggle to it. It is nice just to protect the screen, just does not feel the same.
Thanks.
Does it give you access to all the ports? Bottom samsung cable port, micro schc, mic, speakers and the head phone jack?
I'm a mountain biker. When I go for a ride my current solution is to swap the sim card out if my tab into my old rugged nokia. I was considering a defender + a dry bag as an alternate solution. What do you think?

No, not all ports. The sim and the sd card are covered. You would have to remove the case to swap them out. The data cable, mic speakers and headphones are all accessible with the case on.
it doesn't show on the verizon website anymore.. any one knows where else to get them?

Yes it does. Try doing a search for "Otterbox Galaxy Tab" in the search at Verizon Wireless. I don't think they allow direct links. It always dumps you to the home page from a link.
its by otterbox, its a compatible defender interactive case which also sells on www.discountcell.com/cellular/pn/Samsung_SAM2-GTAB7-20-E4OTR

they also sell them here but its more expensive $69.95 compared to 49.95 on discountcell

No, mine does not have any of these issues. Also I did not get a holster/belt clip. Just the back cover.

I have one of these. It's the best money I ever spent.

I saw something like this for an iPhone and wondered if they made one for Note 2. Or maybe a battery case with a belt clip?
Can you post a link?
I know what you are talking about. It was made by Mophie. They really only make iphone stuff. Nobody else makes anything similar for the note 2.

I checked Mophie page, nothing for Note 2 there, however those cases don't remind me of Otterbox, they don't look very protective. I think I would buy one though.

1- I didn't say they would have any cases for the note 2. Their pretty much an iPhone accessory only company.
2- they make an iPhone 4/4s car that costs $150 and is rugged like an otterbox with a built in external battery. It's either called the survival, survivor, or extreme.

I know exactly what your talking about. They are made by Morphie and I believe this is what your talking about http://www.mophie.com/mophie-juice-pack-PRO-iPhone-4-battery-case-p/2175_jppro-ip4-org.htm. I did also notice that they just released a case for the GS3 http://www.mophie.com/mophie-juice-pack-Galaxy-S-III-battery-case-p/2245_jp-ssg-wht.htm which is actually there 1st case for a non iOS device, however lacks the protection. I actually a Rezound owner right now, however I am upgrading this month tori their the DNA or the Note II. If I do decide to buy my 1st Samsung device, I would buy this http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...-samsung-galaxy-note-2-with-battery-door.html battery to go with it.
I'm looking for recommendations from other users for their top 2 or 3 best keyboard/case combinations for the Nexus 10. I just returned a Minisuit combo to Amazon because the keyboard simply didn't turn out to be as described in the product information. Obviously I should have kept the Minisuit prior to returning it so time is of the essence in getting a replacement ASAP.
Thanks!

I haven't found anything worth my money yet. I've bought a case and keyboard separately.

I hate to say it but the design of the Surface tablet's keyboard is slick, it provides a front cover and a keyboard all while connecting via its magnetic pogo. I have high hopes someone designs one for the Nexus. Why are we so far behind the ball on this?

Now that I've tested two cheap combos that turned out to be the same units but branded differently, I'm going the separate route. Actually Kensington & another manufacturer (can't remember the name at the moment) make what I think are very good keyboards akin to the Surface.

I think that the Poetic Keybook Removable Keyboard case is pretty decent. That is the one that I bought which i found here http://www.pctabletcases.com/nexus-1...ssories-guide/. They also have a couple other cases but the reviews on that aren't as good. The Poetic case isn't the greatest case but it does serve its purpose well.

I'm sorry but I didn't have time to look at your link, but is it a case only with no keyboard? If not, I'd really be interested in what you find so 'attractive' about it. I don't mind mentioning this in public bu

Hit the Submit button by mistake. Anyway, Poetic & Minisuit will be reported for potential violation of Seller S&P on Amazon. I'll leave it at that for this discussion. Caveat Emptor...

+1 to this, but I bought the $35 "Poetic Keybook Removable Keyboard" on amazon for the time being.
It has some stupid strap and arbitrary sized keys imo. Also the bluetooth has lag sometimes. I really want them to go the route of the microsoft surface keyboard design. Mainly because of less lag when typing vigorously.
Hey Guys,
I just bought myself a Samsung flip cover, although it looks genuine, im a bit skeptical and would like to know what you guys think based on the photos. Also, the first time i had it on the flip cover wasnt fully sitting on the screen, however, now after a few hours its alright. Moreover, the edge of the flip cover doesnt have that rubber coating that can be seen on the S3 flip cover. I could've bought it from the samsung store but i found it a bit cheaper from this other phone shop. Anyways, ive posted all the photos so hope i get some opinions. Cheers.
Heres an additional photo of the box. Im not sure if it makes any difference but it says that it was manufactured on 2013.03.12 and Model Number : EFC-1J9FWEGSTD
Don't Worry

It looks real enough to me. I have the grey version and an orange version from Samsung and both of them are the same as yours including the packaging they came in. There is no rubber thing on the version for the Note II and mine didn't feel like it fit flush either at first but after a few days in it should mold perfectly to it.

Actually i was surprised as to why it wouldn't sit flush on the screen considering i never had this issue with the genuine flip cover for the S3. I bought this for like $17.70 compare that to the $40 price tag from the official samsung store and its a big win. Anyways, thanks alot for your input.

To be honest many fakes aren't actually fake but just defective Samsung products that people take and sell cheap on ebay or Amazon. So if it had an nfc sticker and looks good to you then that price is great.

Can anyone recommend S8+ cases that allow for S-Pen charging?
I'm upgrading from a Tab S4 to an 8+. Most cases I see don't appear to allow the s-pen's to charge.
If you don't charge on the back, are there other ways to charge the s-pen?
Thanks,
Joe

I just use the official one for the Tab S7+, S7 FE, S8+, etc. It has a little hill towards the top of it that holds the S-Pen in place where it charges. It's a little up there in terms of price, but it's exactly what you're describing.
There is this keyboard one that has flap for back part, that let's you open it to put or remove s-pen from charging spot. Right now there is no other location to charge s-pen, only the back side.

I would say that almost every third-party case allow to charge s-pen due to it has a hole where you can put s-pen for charging it using the table. Don't remember a case which didn't have such hole (I had s4, s6, s7+ before and s8u now).
Thanks all. I've ordered one of the cheaper covers on Amazon to start with. Are the expensive Samsung covers really worth the cost? I have a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard I used with my Tab S4 -- is the keyboard cover really worth so much money?

I would generally say no, not worth that much money. The biggest reason I have one is they were "free" with pre-order. They could be worse, but they could be better. I'm pretty picky about keyboards, and even pickier about "mice" as I've preferred Logitech trackballs for about 26-27 years.
But the convenience of the built-in keyboard and trackball are nice in a pinch.
I see. Thanks again for your thoughts.

I would say no. I had a lot of different third party cases and in some reasons they are better than the original one. Personally I would recommend Mokocase's case for tab series - good quality and not so expensive.
Note: Mokocase doesn't appear to make a Tab S8 (any model) case yet. It looks like at least some of its Tab S7 cases will fit some of the S8 models, although definitely not the Ultra.

What @Jake.S said. I always start straight at the source (Moko's website) and at the time nothing was listed for the Tab S8, but Amazon does list some of their Tab S7 cases as also fitting some of the Tab S8 models.
