Apparently I've been told by Samsung that they don't make ANY cases for this model (SM-T217S) expect for the official (and pricy) Samsung case. I know that's not true because I had a gel case on it that I got from Sprint when I bought it. All the cases I see on Amazon are for different model number of it. Any ideas or suggestions?

I bought one from ebay
As long as it's y the same size case, it will work regardless of Samsung model number, I got mine for the WiFi version at best buy and it fits with no issues

Nope, I got a case for 7 inch tablets and it didn't fit. I did manage to find on Amazon I liked.

The Moko UltraSlim case works perfect on the Sprint version. I think the Sprint version is the only 7" Tab 3 with the IR Blaster, and the Moko UltraSlim has a cutout for the IR Blaster. I've had a Moko UltraSlim on my '13 Nexus 7 since that tablet was released and it still looks/functions perfectly, so I was happy to see that Moko made one for the 7" Tab 3 as well.
Also, if you're looking for a screen protector, I highly recommend TechMatte! You get a 3 pack for around $4 or $5, lifetime warranty, edge to edge coverage, and they look and feel like bare glass! I've used them on various devices and they've been my favorite since I first used one. My previous favorite was Ghost Armor which are $30 for only 1 screen protector and they aren't as nice looking/feeling as TechMatte.

I have one for my iPad and love the thing. I emailed INVELLOP and they said they are working on one for the nexus 7. It will be out in roughly a month.

I had one of these on a work iPad as well, really liked the case...really hated the iPad. I have the stock N7 case but I think this would be better.
Interesting. Looks great. Does the cover fold back properly? I ordered a Poetic smart case similar to this and fearing it won't lay flat when folded back.

Oh it works perfect. I just love the case. I will keep y'all informed if they contact me again about it.

Looks awesome! This is exactly the sort of case I'm looking for. I like the fact that the stock case fits the look and feel of the tablet, but it didn't seem to fold back properly, and I'd rather buy a case that has built in magnetic functionality.
Do you know if they ship to Australia? Every case I've found so far that fits my wants (unobtrusive, doesn't cover the bezel, looks decent, has magnets) can't be shipped to Australia.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Premium HD app
this probably would have been the case i got if it had come out with the nexus. i've already ordered 3 other cases so gonna have to skip this one.
What ever happened to this case? I've been holding off on buying a case until this one came out but I'm starting to think I may have to look elsewhere.

I was looking for an invellop case too and found this one instead for my Nexus 7. It's the Poetic Slimline case. Only 1.7 cm thick. It's really sharp looking with a magnetic opening too.
Just search for it on Amazon: Poetic SLIMLINE Portfolio Case for Google Nexus 7
Anyone find a good case to be re-purposed for the Note 2 until official accessories are more widely available? Preferably something I can pickup at Best Buy or order off of Amazon? I'm looking for something like the official sleeve type case. I remember I used a Garmin GPS soft pouch for my Note 1 until I could find a better case.
I had my Galaxy Note 1 in a Sena leather case and I love it, but it doesn't fit well for the new dimensions of the Note 2. I need a case! :laugh:

I bought the JKase Premium Quality Samsung Galaxy Note II 2 GT-N7100 Streamline TPU Case Cover - Retail Packaging - Clear from Amazon. It was cheap and I was able to get fast 2 day shipping with Prime. (can't post a link yet since I am new)
This case and my Note 2 will be arriving tomorrow. I hope the case will be enough to hold me over until a better deal comes about on a name brand case. I'll be pairing this with a Spigen screen protector.
Im using the white and grey case mate case from at&t. The reason, I billed it to my company.

Same here. I also have the Proclips mount in my car, meaning I have to take the case off to use it. The Body Glove case comes off and goes back on very easily.
Also bought the body glove one from sprint. Was worried about cases and adding bulk but this seems to be minimal and my phone doesn't feel like it's going to slip out of my hand every time I hold it.

I went to several Sprint locations, and none of them had the body glove case. I was also hoping to get something with a belt clip.
The only case I found locally in stock for my Note 2 was at the AT&T store and it was a white/grey CaseMate with a built in kickstand I think it cost $38 and did not come with a screen protector. Wish Otterbox made a Commuter style with built in kickstand for the Note 2.
Case
I bought the Ringke SLIM Soft Feeling Premium Hard Case. It's slim. adds very little bulk while protecting at the same time and got it off of amazon for 10.99 on sale from 25.00. I added the Spigen SGP Ultra Oloephobic screen protector and it's totally protected. I love them both.......
Have this:

$5 Ionic Position folio-style case off of Amazon. Offers good protection, looks good, and doesn't have a magnetic closure (huge!).
I just purchased a Seidio Active-like case off of Amazon to use until the Seidio Active combo either comes down in price or shows up at Best Buy for 2/3rds of what it costs now.
I also just returned an Amzer Shellster because it was a piece of crap that broke three days in. Spending $6 to return an item that I'll get $14 back for, after spending $5 initially to have it shipped. Really thrilled about Amzer's customer service policies.

Anyone know if a LG G2 wallet or folio case that is made for the Verizon version? It seems like they are all excluding Verizon on eBay and I found a couple, but they are huge and ugly universal ones.
Two I have seen are: Poetic Cases and Pure Gear Folio.
I had the Poetic Case, but lost my phone. I purchased the Pure Gear one and will add some photos when I receive it.

So my Pure Gear Folio arrived (FOR VERIZON)! However, it is not constructed well at all and I am in the process of returning it. My two major complaints are 1) the case does not activate the screen like other "flip" or folio cases do and 2) it makes the phone huge.
The hinge is quite pliable and has considerable slop so it would probably rub constantly on the screen in your pocket. I have reordered the Poetic Flipbook I have had previously.
Some photos:
eansinto which
Im currently using the belkin folio, sold at the verizon store. When i went in they had plenty in stock.
It holds 2 cards comfortably but 3 without too much problem.
They have it on the verizon website, just google "Belkin Wallet Folio with Stand for LG G2" as i can not post links because of a new account.
Had the puregear case and same complaints, didnt like the suction cup on the poetic. Very happy with this one.
Anyone try or have seen this one?

I guess my only concern is thickness... and the fact that I'd have to take out to charge wirelessely.
I've thought about a wallet case but I just don't know with the amount I use my phone I'm not sure I would want my wallet out all the time also.

I have the Ghostek on my Galaxy S7 now and will probably get the same one for the Note 8. Nothing fancy, clear tpa with aluminum around the edges.
I'm waiting for the Ringke Fusion. I love this case
I am interested in this case, but with the phone still over a month away from release (September 15th per online info) I am hesitant to purchase yet. What if the case does not fit the phone properly and the 30 day return policy window has expired. Sure, its only $7.99 but I think I will wait another week to get past August 15th to ensure I can return it if the case does not fit.

I went ahead and pulled the trigger and bought this one and it came in the mail today. I currently have the LG V20 and I must say the Note 8 is crazy thin in width compared to the V20. It seems like a long thin candy bar haha. I actually think I'm going to go look at a display model in a local store once they have them before I outright buy this phone.

Here's a side by side with a LG V20 OtterBox Defender shell. I don't have another TPU case so the shell is the closest I could get to a similar case to the Note 8. Hopefully the Note 8 doesn't seem small compared to the V20 ?

The V20 was/is a pig of a phone. Speaking of pigs, I saw a lady with what I thought was a tablet talking in it like a phone. I was huge. Turns out is was an iCrap 7 with an otterbox case on. Much smaller display than my current S8+ but it was simply humongous next to my S8+ when we compared them side by side. I simply laugh at all these pig phones that sheeple don't even realize have so much wasted screen real estate compared to almost all galaxy phones that have been coming out for the last few years. Of course now that everyone else is jumping on the minimal bezel thing, cRapple will somehow claim they invented the idea and the sheeple will likely accept that just as they accepted all other ganked things cRapple has claimed to engineer.

After the Note 7 I switched to the S7 edge but wasn't satisfied so I went to the V20. I also tried out the Pixel 5" for a few days and I felt like I was squinting and IMO that phone is pretty boring compared to a Samsung, I'm used to have a ? in my pocket ?
