Any idea on what cases fit this?

[clipse#CB]

So I have my galaxy tab 2 7.0. Now I need a case. What good ones are out there. If it includes a Bluetooth keyboard tenn all the better.

Thanks

I just bought a case at BestBuy today made from Belkin and it is made specifically for the Galaxy Tab 2. It's called a Bi-Fold Folio With Stand, no BT keyboard in it and has an elastic band to hold the cover closed on it. It's nice and probably the only case out there made specifically for the Tab 2 right now.

I'd say any listed for Galaxy Tab 7.0 should work fine. I ordered 2 that were made for the original 7" Tab and got them both in the mail yesterday and they both fit fine. One is a TPU case off ebay for about $7 and I got a fake leather folio case with magnet closures from Monoprice for about $8 (For only $7.20 each when QTY 50+ purchased - Synthetic Leather (Polyurethane) Case with Magnetic Closing Tab for 7 inch Galaxy Tab - Black | Galaxy Tab Cases)

Galaxy Tab 7 Plus case also fits. All cutouts align. I just bought the Tab2 7" and switched it.

I ended up getting the belkin one from bb. I like it pretty well. Its not awesome but not bad.

I was wondering the same thing. Do the camera holes line up and all other ports?

The cases made for the original 7.0 will not work, the holes will not line up properly. The cases that are made for the 7.0 Plus will work with it, the only difference between the 7.0 Plus case and a case made specifically for the Galaxy 2 7.0 is the camera cut out. The 7.0 plus case has a cutout that is sort of egg shaped to accommodate the flash and camera lens. The Galaxy 2 7.0 only case has a perfectly round cutout since there is no flash on the rear camera, just the lens.

You'll notice that the 7.0 Plus case on the Galaxy 2 7.0 device may be a little "tight" as the Galaxy 2 is a bit thicker but it still works.

what about screen protectors? I have yet to find a galaxy tab 2 specific screen protector. Should I even bother with the screen protectors?

 

[dmcman73]

You can use a Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus screen protector, all of the sensors and the front camera holes line up on the Plus screen guard with the Galaxy Tab 2. The only thing you'll have is that cutout for the ear piece on the screen guard that is for the Plus, obviously the Galaxy Tab 2 does not have the ear piece like the 7.0 plus.

Can't justify that belkin case, $40 is steep. May order the Blurex case off Amazon for the 7.0 plus.

Poetic case for Tab Plus just arrived yesterday and fits nicely for Tab 2. All the openings are exposed including the two speaker grills at the bottom. Only issue is the microphone pin hole next to the headphone jack - not a big deal. Really nice and snug. Couldn't be happier for $16 I paid including shipping through Amazon.

I have a case on the way made just for the Tab 2 7.0 WiFi, so I believe there are a variety made to cover the different devices. Mine was ordered from Amazon.com, made by Snugg. I'll try to remember to report my impressions here. It should arrive Friday.

Invisible Shield is all I will use. Available locally at Radio Shack, also online.

Do a search on Ebay for "Galaxy Tab 2 Case". There is a large variety available and some with BT keyboard. All kinds of colors and designs and starting price about $10. I have one that the top folds back and makes a stand for the tab in a horizontal position.
If you use a Tab (1) case all of the holes will not line up!
