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.

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.

No it does not!
It has a hole in the back for the camera and the flash.
I have one since December and like it very much.

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.

You get 20% with that code(I tried to buy 2 items, case and dock). Seems they don't accept Canadian orders and I can't find the case on Samsung;s Canadian site, nor the online store.
Anyone know where this can be found in the UK?

I like this guy. Deadmau5 pic and demanding genuine leather! I'm hoping for a case from these guys: http://www.vajacases.com/ - Got one for my PlayBook last year and it's awesome.
Shame they got shipped and delivered to the UK first yet there are very few accessories released here yet. Will be a while until we have a genuine leather case with the 'smart' magnetic bit.
that case has been on sale for years. it's so ugly. Giant leather bondage strap holding down your nexus 7? ugly.
I picked up a leather smart case similar to this one at Big Lots for $8.00. High quality material ! They have lots of 7" case options there for a budget price......scrarch resistant screen protectors , stylus pens , bluetooth speakers etc....
BigLots. com serach the left hand side by ELECTRONICS to see their tablet stuff.
I say patience is a virtue. We all know the tablet for what it is. You either like it or you don't. Most of us have already pre--ordered and are waiting for them to arrive right now.
As far as the caes go, I'd rather feel what they're like in my hand. Via pictures of cases online, 10 look great for ipad and other devices, however only 1-2 actually feel and function as nice as they seem to be described and pictured online.(not cheap feeling, or feeling like they'l literally fall apart, lacking features cleverly not pictured, etc.

For me none of the cover/cases on Amazon (I was at the local Best Buy to take a look at 7" stuff) are aesthetically pleasing. I ordered a "padded pouch" off Etsy.com and I'm gonna get a sturdy "case" when one becomes available.

How much thickness does it add? Does it feel durable?
Looking at this picture, it doesnt seem to sit very nicely along the side with the flap.
Why so cheap ? Is it genuine Samsung cover ?
I dont think it is. I dont see how you could start a thread like this and not include more information.
It actually doesnt look like that, it's all the way down.
I dont think the person who took the picture had put it all the way down.
I looked at my friends that he got from Samsung and its exactly the same.

It might be cheap because it doesn't have the NFC antenna.
I was looking in a local Samsung concept store about a month ago and I asked about their flip covers, which were being sold for about 3/5 of what I had seen them going for elsewhere. The guy there told me they were cheaper because they didn't have the NFC antenna. He also said that they did have the NFC-capable ones before and they were almost double the price of the NFC-less variants.
Maybe Samsung decided that, since not all people use their phones' NFC capabilities, some people would rather pay less and give it up completely.
I'm not saying that this is one off the NFC-less flip covers but that's one possible reason it's so cheap. And, of course, there are the fakes. The fakes I've seen here have been in boxes very similar to the one I got mine in sans the holographic sticker. The font is also a bit different.
Oh, and the flip covers do fit really well. Actually, it was an even snugger fit than the original. It's just that the side to which the flap is attached is a bit thicker. That's why it looks slightly raised in his picture.
Mine has the NFC antennae...
It works just fine.

This is absolutely, without a single tiny doubt in my mind, completely NOT an official Samsung flip cover.
But its not a bad knockoff for $10.

Nope it's legit.
This is official packaging in UK and Asia.

Where is it Made in?
The genuine is Made in Korea.
Looks like you got a product different than pictured on the ebay link.
Seems the pictures are of genuine product and yours is a GOOD knockoff.
1) The contacts on the genuine are gold, yours don't look gold.
2) Also that strip where the contacts are, original is black...yours looks silver
3) the letters that the ebay ad points attention to appear to be missing from yours (or I can't read due to low res pic)
Not saying it's a bad case or not as good as the genuine one................just shouldn't be called a genuine if it's not.
Hopefully this is a sign of more official accessories to come.

I like it.. But i tend to put my tablet down on random surfaces so i need a back cover as well
Most of the other cases are better thats just covers the screen and is more expensive but it would be nice if google could release a good hard case

They shipped these covers to some of the reviewers and they seem pretty nice!

I ordered one. My current case is a little worn anyway, so I could use new one. I'll post my thoughts on it when it arrives.

Ordered the scarlet one too. I'll post some pictures when it arrives. Including shipping to Germany it came 35,98 €. Compared to eg official Samsung covers it really isn't that expensive. The thing i wonder is, if we may see some more accesoires in the near future (dock perhaps)? Hopefully Google has something more to come...
It came to just over £30 in the UK. 3 - 5 Shipping days. Can't wait!
Guys any video for this official case?
Wat you guys recomment, should I order this or get the poetic slimline???

It doesn't cover the back of the device, or the corners. Much better 3rd party cases already available.
I can't believe I waited all this time for what is effectively a flap. It doesn't even fold into a stand!

I like the concept of not covering the back, but I agree it should fold. It´s seems prety rigid, making it even somewhat uncorfortable to hold the tablet. I will wait for some reviews and photos around here.

Same here, its a crap design for $30. I'm going to stick with the poetic case. Id prefer something that just covered the front (im not clumsy) because the tablet is so thin and light and then folds into a stand but this isnt it.
I think the official case looks really nice, anybody else planning to get this? :good:
For people who goes for looks maybe but if you want drop protection that case will not help you that much

I had one for my S6E but it wasn't very good. The back scratched up too easily & quickly. Also, the case didn't sit flush on the rear glass, constantly introducing dust and other small grime, again scratching up the case from the inside. And I don't even put the phone in my pocket. It's always inside my belt holster case.
Besides those issues, I loved how slim & light it was. I wouldn't buy it again for the S7E.

Samsung needs to hurry up and get this case in stock at stores. It's the only case I buy for Samsung phones. Well I bought a Insignia case at Best Buy just for something for now.
So once these become available on Samsung's site will be able to save $10 on it with the 30% register code?
A T-Mobile store had the Samsung cover in stock and they said they would sell it for 25% off. I decided to wait and see if Best Buy has since I have $30 coupon from Samsung Pay. I called and don't think they carry it yet. I should have just bought it at T-Mobile. lol As of now I'm suing the Insignia clear case that I bought at Best Buy for $15. I like it but prefer the plastic vs tpu.

T-Mobile has the Samsung clear case. Yesterday a manager was going to give me 25% off since I told him I have 30% for registering my S7 Edge. I decided to wait since I have the free $30 at Best Buy for Samsung pay. Well dumb move since Best doesn't have it. I went back to T-Mobile today and the manager wasn't there but a employee that was right by the manager yesterday that heard us said to come back when the manager was there. The employee was trying to get me to buy two things to get a discount I said no way this crap is way overpriced and I left. LoL

I called Samsung to order the clear case and use my 30% off. After waiting 15mins on hold and then another 15mins the lady couldn't apply my discount. lol I called the T-Mobile store and the manager I talked to before was in so I got 25% off. With all the promo's I got I'm fine paying more on something I like. I'll probably sell my free Samsung wireless charger since I already have 4. lol

No, because it offers zero protection to the top and bottom edges of the phone.
They'd inevitably be marks on that metal within a few weeks, even if you're careful.
