What is the BEST case for the Galaxy Tab?

I just love the ipad case. It is so thin and works real well.
Is there a good case for the SGT that is similar to the ipad case. I prefer super thin and light.

I carry mine in a small messenger bag. So I just wanted something as low-profile as possible, but that would keep me protected at all times from scratches, etc.
I went with the following two, and I couldn't be happier. No matter what you do, get the back protected fast, as it will get scratched up fast.
Case/Sleeve
Screen Protector

I'm using the original samsung pda model case one. Looks great, feels great and still fit on my back pocket.

I use the SGP Argos book-type case.
Not only is it solid as they come, but its also excellent protection - my tab dropped from the roof of a SUV and neither the case nor the tab were damaged in any way.
Also, theres no need for a screen protector once you have a case like this, unless youre planning on using the thing with sand-covered fingers...

im using capdase soft jacket 2, it fits precisely, slim(2mm thick but decend material) and stand holder is removable when u dont need desk stand.
but the only thing softjacket cannot protect is the screen, but hey gorrila glass+antiglare screen protector will do
i used a notebook like slide in case but when i was reading ebook that flappy cover is quite annoying... but its just me ...

erlz,
That is exactly the kind of case I've been looking for. A nice slim hard back shell with a kickstand.
A couple of questions for you, I you don't mind. How easily does the kickstand part come on/off? Is it pretty secure once it's in place?
Also where did you purchase yours? Amazon only lists one obscure seller when I searched the case there.
Thanks again!

i'm using a Speck hard case/shell, The edge is matte black rubber and the back panel is plastic with a camouflage printed fabric streched over it. it makes the tab a bit thicker, especially around the edge, but its still nice to hold, and i like that the edge of it is raised a bit in front so you can place the tab face down on a table and the screen wont touch the surface. Great fit, buttons/ports are accessible. using a matte screen protector as well, and i just stuff it in my bag. No scratches or dings so far.

The samsung tab case is a disgrace, and so badly designed i have had to buy a replacement.
Why?
the compartment for holding the tab secure obscures the screen and is so thick and raised from the unit, it is actually difficult to use the hard keys and any function close to the screen edges.
The stand mechanism is awkward to use and generally leaves the unit unstable.
The flap to retain the tab is pathetic so the unit constantly moves and if used in conjunction with the stand, the tab actually slips out.
Rubbish.
Ipurchase some cheap case off ebay, but went for one that uses a formed plastic shell to hold the unit. Not only is this more secure, but also leaves screen completely free.
It also stands better
and because its thinner materials, the tab is a pleasure to use again.

Currently using casemate barely there case. Its good but the fit isn't tight enough. I'm just picky. I ordered the capdase soft jacket. Luckily it was on sale for 19.99 at my local computer store.

Been using a Zenus case on the tab and have to say it's the best made and best fitting case I've ever used on any device. Very high quality materials. Only gotcha is that the magnetic clasp is so strong that it'll affect apps that use a compass, but not found that a problem in day to day use. It also took a few weeks to get here from South Korea. Some pics taken of it just now using my nexus 1 .

As with all samsung devices. I use a screen protector and cheap silicon sleeve combo. Nit as pretty as stock cases but very protective. My mp3 is still as good as new after 3 years.

I tried loads of cases, zenus, belkin leather book case, belkin silicone case, unbrand silicone case, samsung sleeve, piquadro sleeve.
But the best one is the Targus one: http://www.targus.com/uk/product_details.asp?sku=THZ040EU
Only issue is that the case miss the camera hole, but inserting and exerting the tab from the case is super fast, while when inserted the tablet remains really secured.
The case is THICK, and really solid, i think it will protect the Tab from every kind of falls.
The stand is firm and as the front cover is very rigid it can be used also on uneven or soft surfaces i.e. your legs while in the couch, or your chest while in bed (pro tip: use a bluetooth mouse under the covers so your entire body will remain warm )
When the front flap is completely bent over the back and secured with the elastic band it is barely noticeable, not like the zenus one that is a pain in the arse; and also you can insert your hand in the space between the front and back cover to effortlessly keep the Tab.
The materials are top notch, great black leather for the extern and soft suede for the intern.
Do yourself a favor and buy this case
P.S. i don't work for Targus

[Review] SGP Ultra Silke Case

I just received the SGP Ultra Silke case for my Nexus S yesterday and like it a lot. Actually I was waiting for the Otterbox Defender case for Nexus S to come out but am getting tired of it so I just decided to give this case a shot because no one has written a review about it here yet.
Yeah, I know what you're thinking. Let's start with the pictures then

First thing I'd like to say is this case costs $19.99 (excl. shipping) and comes in a standard SGP Case package (a.k.a. a hard clear plastic box), which includes the case itself and an Ultra Crystal Clear Steinheil screen protector. I did not install the screen protector because I already have full BSE skin on my Nexus S. I bought this case from SGP Store on eBay because the shipping cost is cheaper than buying from the official site. I was surprised that it took only about a week to ship from CA, US to Thailand (normally I'd expect about 10-14 days)
My first impression about the case is it looks almost the same as the Rearth Rinke case [1], [2]. However, from the information on its website, the SGP Ultra Silke is made of "hi-polymer coated silicon" so it is quite soft like a silicon case (unlike TPU cases) and has matted/smooth texture -- which feels very good in my hand. The installation was very easy. The case covers the front bezel and in the back there is an SGP Case logo which, for me, makes it looks good while keeping the minimalistic look
What I like most about this case are the cutouts -- the speaker and camera/flash holes fit perfectly. There is a raised edge around the camera hole, the speaker hole also get this little "curve" touch in the middle The USB and headphone holes work fine and there is even a separate hole for the microphone. I think SGP people did a very nice job on these small details.
And if you're in doubt, the power and volume buttons are fully functional -- just like there is no case on it. No annoying issues like the popular "S" shape TPU case whatsoever. And as you can see, there is a small power icon on the power button of the case. The volume button, however, looks a little bit plain to me though.
IMO, this case adds a lot less bulk than the "S" shape TPU case and provides more protection than the Incipio Feather case. It fits perfectly and adds more grip to the Nexus S while being stylish with its minimalistic look. I'll be happily using this SGP Ultra Silke as my main case until something better shows up (may be not the Otterbox Defender, who knows)

Does it attract alot of dust and fabric when you leave it out or put in your pocket?

Hmm... just got it for like 24 hrs. so I cannot tell about that yet, but as least from the SGP Store site:
The Premium Silicone case SGP Case Ultra Silke Series Prevetns your mobile from scratchesm damages and dust. Surface is coated with high polymer which reduces dust sticking on the surface, and even makes easier to put in and out of pocket.

For me the surface feels similar to the matted part on the back of the "S" Shape TPU case so I guess it *should* be harder to attract dust/lint/oil etc.

I have the silk for vibrant before. The material does not attract dust and hair at all, unlike silicon. But like all cases, there will be dust deposit INSIDE between case and phone eventually. Now I rock NS naked with squaretrade.

^^^
Just came back from a whole-day normal usage and wanna confirm what he said about the material. It won't attract dust, lint, or hair at all.
BTW, my friend who has seen my Nexus S in the "S" TPU case before said this when he saw my phone today: "Now you've got a good case" xD

I have the same case and the best thing about it is that it does not attract dust.

I like it, just gotta find out where to buy it in Italy

How well does the case hold the phone? I have one of the platinum cases from best buy now and the phone almost feels loose inside the case, causing it to creak and squeak some. The clips that hold the 2 half's of the case are very weak on the platinum case also and its pretty annoying to have the case come apart in your pocket. So can you tell me how the two compare?

First of all, it's not a hard case like the platinum case, it is a one-piece case just like other silicon/TPU cases (but with nicer material) so you just push the phone in and it stays there. The case fits perfectly and shouldn't move easily

suksit: You have a I9020 right?
How does it fit in your opinion, couuld this fit/strech on a I9023?
(ordered one already, but will take about another week for it to get here)
Second question is about the sides, I watched a video on youtube by nexedzero on this case with the iPhone 4, and the user fairly easily "flips" the sides after the case is on
= are the sides firm(er) on the Nexus version or the same as in that video?
(search youtube: SGP Ulta Silke for iPhone 4" between 3:37 - 3:56mins)

From the pics it looks like a 2 Peice case. My fault for skimming the description and just looking at the pics. It looks as if there is a seam. To add to the above post. Does the silicone seem more ridgid than others?

Yes I have a i9020, the fit is perfect so hmm... I guess it *may* have the same issue as Rearth Rinke case here.
For the "flip" issue, yes the sides can be flipped just like the iPhone 4 case, however, I never "flip" the sides from my normal usage -- I think it may be because of the larger gaps (than iPhone's) between the actual screen and the case.

Actually I'm counting on this to make the difference between the SGP and Rearth, more softness & flexibility hopefully compensates the size difference...

[Q] I hate cases. I need a bumper case.

So as it turns out I'm actually allergic to the metal on the edge of the phone. Which means I can't hold onto it. Which means I need a case. So I'd like as little case as possible. If I could just get a rubber bumper to wrap around the edge and nothing else, that would be ideal.
So what's the most minimal non-metal case it's possible to get, that will cover up the metal edges? Any suggestions?

I have the Spigen air capsule. It's a really thin clear case, good quality as well. Barely feels as if there's a case on my phone..

Official Samsung case is like a bumper but but covers the back. It doesn't cover the sides but it's probably the thinnest case for the S6 Edge. I got mine at T-Mobile for cost $20. If you resister your phone on Samsung you get 30% off but I think it was a little more then what I paid.

I have the Spigen air case too. I don't normally do cases but I really like this one

I'd recommend the Ringke Fusion. Thin, transparent and covers the aluminium.
Bought it for around 10 Euros.

I'd recommend the " Spigen" range their cases, I have found to be the best but not sure if they do bumper cases.

This looks to be a bumper case. http://www.amzer.com/Amzer-Border-Case-White-P97640.htm

I have the Spigen Case

I have the spiggen crystal clear with air cushion. Is feels nice. And looks nice. Although think I'll find a better back protector the one they give have with the case is too small and visable.

I don't see any "air capsule" model listed on the Spigen pages. Actually, none of the cases has "air" in its name at all. The closest I can find is a case for the regular S6 that has the word "capsule" in its name, but it doesn't sound like what people are talking about. What is the official Spigen name for the model?

I don't know if you would be allergic to this metal or not, but the aluminum bumper that someone linked to previously feels very nice on mine.

For the record I have the Spigen Ultra Hybrid in the Metal Slate color and it does cover all of the metal sides (unless you poke a finger into the holes in the bottom for the ports). It has a clear back, but I'm finding that the clear back is much more smudgy than the pictures on the web site (and I have installed their "anti-smudge" back film, but it doesn't seem to solve the issue).

I have the Spigen Neo Hybrid case, it's not just a bumper case, the back is great with a pattern to increase grip and it's so sleek it doesn't affect the design of the phone, I really love this oneand so do a lot of people in their reviews, ah and by so far I haven't seen any other case for the S6 Edge that has this large number of reviews on youtube and android sites, alor of people got it, I got the Gunmetal color but it's in silver and gold as well with metalic and rubber buttons, (I prefer rubber)

It's the Aluminum bumper on amazon by NeWisdom. There are similar aluminum bumpers by other company's on Amazon and i assume they're all the same.
It's got a fair amount of grip... it's a matte finish metal so it's not super grippy. I get a good amount of slip reduction from the matte DBrand skin though.

Patchworks Level ITG
https://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Note-Patchworks-Level-White/dp/B075258BFF
I would say this is a intermediate protection case. It's slim and not very bulky. I would not be afraid to drop this onto hard concrete. Surprisingly nice looking packaging for a brand I haven't heard of.
This case simply hugs the phone, best fit of all the cases here. It's a hybrid material but it's molded as a one-piece case. It has enough grip on the TPU sides. The polycarbonate back has a matte finish so it will probably resist scratches well enough. There is an extra protruding lip near the camera opening so you can tell where to put your finger when you're looking for the fingerprint reader. This has to be the favorite of this bunch. I've never heard of the company but I am interested in seeing what they have to offer after using this case.
I would recommend this case for $13 retail.
-Hard polycarbonate back
-Soft TPU inner
-Really nice fit and finish
-Great fit
-Solid enough for drops
-Has space for metal plate (car mount)
Lumion Huey
https://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Note-Case-Huey-Lightweight/dp/B074T4LVJG
Thin TPU with nice texture and design on the back. There is no issue with fit and this will be my go-to for a slim TPU case. It slides on and off without much effort but it won't fall off by itself, but it is thin TPU so some may not like the flimsier sides. The company is now called Lumion, but I believe we all know them by the name VRS Design. They make decent cases from my experience with them. Good choice for light drop protection.
I would recommend this one for $10 retail.
-Slim
-Really decent fit
-Soft TPU
-Looks nice
-Brushed metal pattern on the bottom half
Maxboost mSnap
https://www.amazon.com/Maxboost-Midnight-Resistant-Excellent-Protective/dp/B0749CSD7D
Although it's nice and minimalist, it's just stiff polycarbonate and it's not particularly grippy. There isn't much in terms of lip around the camera area.
It's difficult to put on as the polycarbonate is pretty stiff.
I would pass on this case for the price of $8 retail.
-Really slim
-Hard polycarbonate
-Smooth
-Covers most of the phone
Ringke Wave
https://www.amazon.com/Ringke-Absorbent-Full-Body-Resistant-Protection/dp/B074GY1NPX
For a TPU hybrid case, it's very difficult to insert the phone.
They decided to use super stiff TPU. Feels like I was going to break my phone trying to put it in and take it out.
Large/sharp lip would lift your screen protector.
The case looks larger/thicker than it really is, and that's not a good thing.
I would pass on this one even though it's just $8 retail.
-Hard TPU Inner
-Two piece design
-Hard polycarbonate outer
-Large lip
Trianium Clear
https://www.amazon.com/Trianium-Clarium-Resistant-Ergonomic-Shock-Absorbing/dp/B074F4W8SW
Honestly, it's nothing special. It's similar to the Ringke Fusion series and nothing about it stands out. I can talk more about this one if anyone's interested. It'll probably yellow very quickly given the look and feel of the clear TPU.
I would pass on this case even though it's just $7 retail.
-Soft TPU sides
-Polycabonate back
-Cheap feeling TPU

That Maxboost case... mine came in yesterday, and I immediately circular-filed it. Glad I only payed 40¢ for it.
Tapatalked from my Sprint GN8

I cant seem to find a case I like smh

I'm waiting on the White Speck Presidio case to come down in price. I have 9 Ringke and Caseology cases. Most are nice but that grip of the Specks is unmatched.
Speck Products Presidio Grip Cell Phone Case for Samsung Galaxy Note8 - White/Black Presidio Grip https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074GJKYC6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_3rhTzbRXQ13GG

Liking the Patchworks case. I love that it has space for car mount metal plates. This is really useful for me. I know Spigens thin fit case also have this. Anyone know of other cases with such feature?

Could someone please recommend a super thin case that has covers all of the bottom holes with flaps? Including the S-pen, USB, and Aux areas? I will gladly rock a pink case if that's the only available cover ^.^
I can't stand the sharp feel of cases with these holes exposed.

I have the ringke wave. It is very stiff but good for $1.92

Could anyone with the Patchworks case pictured in OP's post comment on whether it works with the Whitestone Dome?

I like the hard and minimalist maxboost look. it sits perfectly flat on my desk at work.

The speck will have to wait because I am in love with the Patchworks Level case. The simple styling and feel in hand is amazing. The grip!!!! It's my daily driver for sure.

I absolutely LOVE the Patchworks Flexguard case for the S8+. Unfortunately I read the Note 8 version suffers from being too loose.

The more sturdy patchworks case came today and it is great!

Yeah this Patchworks level case put my other 9 caseology, ringke and lumion cases into retirement. I wish I had bought every color when the sale ran.

Honestly, I got the PW LEVEL case for $2 on a Slickdeals weeks ago. I have to say I am using it over all my Spigen and VRS cases right now. Everything about it is amazing

Ordered the Patchwork one with TPU clear back on amazon and they delayed it so they sent me the black level case for free. I like it, I think it is just a little bit "slippery" if my hands are dry.

Honestly, I got the PW LEVEL case for $2 on a Slickdeals weeks ago. I have to say I am using it over all my Spigen and VRS cases right now. Everything about it is amazing

same, but I ordered contour, they sent me the level for free says the contour is delayed and will be shipped today or tomorrow...

Yeah same here. Ordered the Contour and got a Level b'c it was delayed. I'm excited to eventually have both. The texture feel and the size grip texture is fabulous.

I am now waiting for my UAG

I absolutely LOVE the Patchworks Flexguard case for the S8+. Unfortunately I read the Note 8 version suffers from being too loose.

Case came, and I can confirm it is NOT too loose. Well, it is a loose fitting design, but it is comparable to the S8+ case. The reviews are being overly dramatic.

Ordered the Patchwork one with TPU clear back on amazon and they delayed it so they sent me the black level case for free. I like it, I think it is just a little bit "slippery" if my hands are dry.

The S8+ Level one was super slippery to me - like, crazy insane slippery if you had dry hands, because the back is 100% smooth matte hard plastic. I can't imagine why they didn't give it a little knurling. I was actually considering drizzling silicone sealant back and forth, like a pattern haha. I ended up going with the Flexguard and have been happy.

Giving up on glass. Help me get wet.

As much as I prefer tempered glass, I've given up on my search for a TG protector that fits, looks and feels right.
That being said, I'm now on the hunt for a wet application screen protector that offers the closest thing to edge-to-edge coverage as possible. I use an Elago case when I'm out and no case as all when home, so case-friendly is of no benefit to me.
Thanks in advance for your recommendations, shared personal experiences and pictures (if any)!

The problem with the wet ones is the pen leaves marked and not smooth

I have had the Spigen and the Skinomi. The Spigen one is very thick and always has an orange peel look to is. I have had the Skinomi V1 which fits with most cases and now have the Skinomi V2 which is more edge to edge. The Skinomi 'heals' a lot faster than the Spigen - yes it leaves pen marks but use the black tip and just wait a few, they do go away. The Skinomi is thinner and is very smooth so it doesn't have that orange peel look.
The V2 only fits with minimal cases, I have a Pitaka and it fits perfectly edge to edge of the glass. I had a Skinomi on my Note 7 and loved it, the only reason I started with the Spigen is that the Skinomi wasn't available at the time. At 2 for $7 on Amazon, it's hard to beat. Easy to apply and I do them super wet to allow for the best alignment. Added bonus, they do hide minor chips and cracks very well.
Skinomi V2 for Note 8 (excuse the pocket dust). I tried to show the most extreme angles and worst aspects, looking straight on it's perfectly clear.

Thanks for the input so far!

very happy with my screen protector from tech21.

I have used Armoursuit wet protector on my s7 edge and this Note 8....perfect install both times....never peeled up from edge...covers sides...and will work with case friendly...I have used pen and no marks on screen so far
Watch install video and use hair dryer to assist.
No other reason for me to get anything else..
Good luck

Had good luck with the Skinomi so far , works good with s pen. Just ordered an Armorsuit to try them out as well. Have used Armorsuit in the past with good results as well.

I went with the IQ Shield and I'm pretty happy with it. I'm actually not noticing any pen marks. Perhaps I'm not pressing as hard as others.

Does any one know if the IQ shield interfere with the samsung clearview official stand/case ?

Skinomi case friendly version 2 ???

I see you have that bad ass case on.:laugh: mine is coming in monday I can not wait. Also I am getting the car mount with it.

Did anyone try the Armorsuite full body protector? Can you wonder around with it only and no cases?

After trying a lot of protectors and losing too much money. Nillkin TG is perfect in covering the whole screen with angles, it has black edges, compatible with all cases and the most important thing is that the sensitivity to touch is outstanding!

try the Techmatte Tempered Glass. probably the best on both the S8 Plus and Note 8, and I have both phones.

I gave up on glass screen protectors with curved screens. I can't stand the lip it leaves on the edges. Especially since I use multiple apps that I have to swipe from the edge. I have been using the Nano liquid screen protectors and don't have any scratches. Now I know it will not help if I drop my phone on its face. But something you just have to deal with. I did see this one called from simply carbon it's a flexible screen protector that you can hit with a hammer and it will not break. Has anyone tried one of these?

I put the Skinomi 2 on last night
I've never done a wet-application screen protector before and it was surprisingly easy. Today the bubbles are all gone except for one little dust spec that doesn't bother me. It works well with my new Spigen Tough Armor case. I'm happy with this combo

I just looked up the Simply Carbon Fiber screen protectors. Looks interesting. I just wonder if they are soft and the S-Pen will leave leave marks or not. They also don't look to be case friendly.

That's the same thing I was thinking too. Because I love how smooth the glass is on my Note8 I don't want anything that doesn't feel like that.

I'm currently using a wer apply screen protector. It feels smooth and looks great, but the S-Pen leaves marks. Theres just no perfect solution.
