Anyone had any luck finding a case for this lovely device? Many BB in my area (SoCal) only have cases for the new 10 and 7 inch devices, yet nothing for the 8 inch, which is sold out at many locations near me!

Welcome to the forums!

Have you considered ordering online?

Same here (Western New York). I even went as far too order the book cover from Samsung's website but 10 minutes after I ordered it, I got an email stating that it was in back order.

Look on Ebay! You can see the many different cases available for Your Tablet! The prices will be about 1/4 of the local stores. I purchased my tab 3 7" yesterday and the salesman showed me some $49 and up cases. I purchased one on Ebay for less than $10 and that included shipping

Even if you do not purchase online you can see what is available and find out what is a fair price!

I don't know, I'm wondering if Samsung never actually released the case for sale but forgot to take it off their website

Be careful of online 'leather' covers. i ordered one for a Tab 2 10.1. It was poor fitting and heavy. Question: Anyone know how and where to download a Tab 3 8.0 user manual?

Yeah I just ordered one but I'm leery of the result. Given that there's nothing in stores yet its pretty much the only way I could go at this point.

That case on Amazon is a great deal and has fairly good reviews considering the cost.

This is pretty much the case I'm getting. Hopefully its here later this week. I'll post an update when I get it.
Edit: Here's what I ordered. Looks like it will be another week or so. I didn't really love the color scheme but the price is right.

I wonder if the keyboard will scratch the screen, let me know how it is when you get it please.
I wish they made an otterbox or somthing like it.

So I just got this case. Seems pretty good.

Pros:
+ lid does have magnets (so it turns on when you open the lid)
+ Hole in the back for the camera
+ detachable keyboard for when you don't want it

Cons:
- The part that holds the tablet along the spine of the case is a little wider than the bezel (not surprising with the small bezel) so it cuts off the screen a bit
- It is pretty heavy even without the keyboard
- The keyboard is very squished, and the spacebar is too small as a result. I keep pressing the keys beside it instead.

I have the same case for my Note 8.0. It's a good case and I like the keyboard. I have a ZAGG on my Note though and the black dye did bleed a bit on the ZAGG and doesn't seem to want to come off. :( I'm a little bummed about that.
