Received my official Galaxy Tab10.1 case!

Noticed a problem when using the case while propped up which changes the orientation of the tablet. Youtube in full screen doesn't rotate to compensate being turned 180 ?.

I have to use the browser now for youtube videos. Hope an update for the youtube app is in the works.

For those wondering, the case and galaxy tab weigh 1.82lbs. My galaxy tab by itself weighed 1.24lbs to give you a frame of reference.
 
Got mine today (invoice date was the 27th). I think its great. As others have said, its very slim and
stylish. Matches the sexy look of the tab perfectly.
 
I admit I did not read every page of this but... I got my book cover case and it's nice but $50+ for this? I thought the equivalent Apple case was steep at $40. I guess that's just the way things work.

Its a good case though. Very slim and simple which is what I wanted.
 
Sorry if this has been discuss but this thread has become long to read each post, found this at xda forum FRYS.com?|?SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS and the discussion over at xda is that it is actually the pouch and not the bookcase. Ill drop by Fry's tomorrow to see what's up.
 
I got tired of searching for a case for the 10.1 (had taken to putting it a manila folder inside my computer bag)...so I ordered the official on from Samsung...just came this afternoon.

Bottom line: I like it, keeps the tab secure and doesn't increase the bulk or weight that much! You do have to open the case to charge it, but that's minor.

Sorry for the picture quality...
Nice! I like it.

Be nervous, The screen is fragile. :( Mine broke after 2 weeks. Old lady bumped into me and made me drop mine. :/

That sucks, dude. Mine is safe and sound with the case on it now. I don't carry it around in just the case, though. It's usually in my messenger bag.
 
None of the Best Buy stores have very many covers.. the one's they have make the tab big and bulky.. I wonder if they are doing that on purpose to "sway" the customers to buy the Ipad based on its accessories??? just a thought..:D

This is true. I went to my local frys on the 4th to find out it was the pouch. Their internal description in correct. But the one on the site is wrong. I submitted the mistake to them yesterday but it still wrong on the site.

I found a supplier that has the cases in stock. Check CompUSA.com - Computers, Laptops, Televisions, Software, and Electronics from the All-New CompUSA! and do a search. It is the normal price of $59.99, though. I ordered mine last night. 18 hours later, the UPS man was delivering it to my doorstep. I'm not kidding - 18 hours later and that with regular ground shipping. It must have shipped from somewhere close.

One thing I noticed is that the word "leather" is mentioned several times in the product description. The only leather on this bookcover case is on the inside front - the outside is nylon and the cradle is made of plastic. I don't consider this a 'leather' case at all.

How snugly is this supposed to fit? It did not seem like I really needed to work it into the cradle part. It doesn't move around, but it is not super tight, either.

Went to fry's yesterday and confirmed it is the pouch and not the bookcase. Oh well at least it's back on Samsung website with coupon code GOOGLEIO2011 still working. Just ordered mine.
 
I didn't want to wait for the Samsung case to ship and really like the Belkin version. You can place it in a standing mode for viewing media or in a typing mode. You have access to all the ports and the cameras and speakers areas are open. There is an elastic band to lock the flat and all the edges are protected. You can not use the dock with this case on. You can charge with the case on but the flap has to be open or it can be in display or typing mode. Des not add much weight or size. The outside color is gray and the inside is blue

Just got my Samsung leather book case. Like it very much. My Belkin leather slim folio is going back to BB.

:(
