New so apparently I can't post links.
I just purchased the Skinomi Galaxy tab 10.1 Screen Protector (direct from their website). I've used their screen protectors in the past with mixed (but generally positive) results. I'll post impressions after I install this (hopefully Monday 5/16) but wanted to post this in case anyone else was looking for a screen protector for their Google IO 10.1. If anyone finds a nice case let me know!
Just a heads up... It looks like the xoom screen protectors from Verizon work OK with the GT 10.1, but it only goes over the touchsceen, not the bezels. I plan on using this one for now (since I got rid of my xoom) until other screen protectors come out.

Awesome, I thought about buying that too. Let me know how it works. The case I got from Amazon should arrive on the 18th...I'll let you know how that goes.

Do all of the Screen Protectors on Ebay that are for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 work on the GTP7510? I got the impression that they were for the thicker Galaxy Tab 10, but I wasn't sure if they both had the same screen size.
Keep us updated on the cases. I really want something like a Otterbox Commuter series case for mine.
Update. So I contacted Skinomi wondering where the hell my order was. Turns out they have not shipped it yet so I cancelled. Even though their website says in stock and you get an immediate tracking number, they do not have the product. Might as well wait until launch and see all the choices available at this point. I'm hoping Stenheil makes a 10.1 tab protector.
After trying and failing putting a screen protector on the ipad 2, i dont think ill try it with my tab 10.1. Since tablets don't get the same abuse as a phone I dont think they are needed, at least not for me.

Do cases for the Tab fit on the Note?
Can't really find any cases I want, so I was thinking I could get the Tab case and use that.

The Note is larger - it won't fit at all unless the original case was VERY loose/flexible.
Nope

No they don't.
They are smaller.
I'm also waiting for the release of the note case.
I'm using a generic sleeve while I wait.
That sucks for me lol I ordered a galaxy tab 2 case but today took the galaxy tab 2 back for refund and got the galaxy note 10.1 now I'm going to get a case delivered that I can't even use lol

I am holding out for the Samsung book cover as well. I really like the quality of the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and hope that the Notes is similar quality. Just wish they would get it out!

Not only does it not fit, do not buy anything from iLuv listed as fitting the Note 10.1....their site doesn't list any product for the Note 10.1, but plenty of sellers out there lying. I just return a folio/keyboard of theirs. barely could get it in and it offered no protection, since it was too wide

I am wondering if GSMArena's measurements might be off? I received a case for a Galaxy Tab 10.1 yesterday, and my Note was actually slightly UNDERsized for it. The shorter axis (from the power button edge to the charger edge) was perfect, but the Note is about 1/8 inch shorter than the case lengthwise. The other issue, though, is that the Note's buttons/ports are not in exactly the same location as the former GTabs. And there was no stylus slot.
But, I really like the case (see the link) because it has a hard-shell back, is comfortable to hold, has a strap to hold it closed or to slip my hand through, let's me rotate my Note to stand horizontally or vertically, and lets me charge it while it is in the case. And I got it for only $10, including shipping, which is a price I don't figure to beat for a comparable case.
So, I used a pair of tin snips, a dremel, and a little bit of double-sided adhesive tape to secure my note to the modified case. Took about 15 minutes, and now I'm a happy camper...

I thought I'd share what I found for my most recent phone, a Samsung Galaxy Discover S730M. It's relatively new in Canada and it's budget status means there are no accessories to be found - and likely never will be!
I found a nice tpu case on eBay, by looking for "galaxy ace duos" cases. The fit and finish are really nice, and I plan to order a couple more colors soon.
It was under $10 with free shipping, and the screen protector that comes with it works...though there is a cutout for a face button the ace duos has but this phone does not.
I've tried a couple screen savers from eBay described specifically for the galaxy discover, one vituiki and another 6-pack of thin protectors both from the same supplier in Germany. Both protectors were difficult to install and a very poor fit, with at least 1mm hanging over each edge of the screen.
I finally ordered a 6-pack of screenies from china that look like they will do the job, I'll post results.
Can you post some links to the tpu case and china screen protectors please?
And this works too:
Because the phone seems to be samsung's mock of the iPhone 3G/3GS, if you cut down any screen protectors for it (using a straight cutter, or scissors if your hard core). Ive done it. The speaker hole is a bit low, but it works if you have some old ones you dont need anymore.
Please click thanks if you found this useful.

I just searched "meifeng ace duos" on ebay, this is one of the first items: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Soft-Silicone-TPU-Cover-Case-LCD-Guard-For-Samsung-Galaxy-Ace-Duos-S6802-MF-/290751893915?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item43b229d19b
I was tempted to try one of the textured cases but it looks like the top and bottom edges are unprotected. What's the point?
hi,
i have note 2, and bought a note 10.1 now. I find the s pen in note 10.1 with very high resistance on the screen, despite tip looking pretty good, and on the same screen note 2 pen works much better.
Can anyone give some suggestions for what can be done?
If to consider change of tips, I can't find one for this model specifically-only for note 2, note 4 seen online.
I can see the note 4, and note 10.1 has different sizes as a whole, but Is the note 4, and note 10.1 s pen tips same size?
Any help is much appreciated.
Note 4 and Note 2014 have different sized pens, but the tips are interchangeable.
If you purchased your Note 2014 new, it might have come with a set of replacement tips.
thanks.
I could see that the tips of note 10.1 stylus is rubbery and with little bit resistance not gliding on the screen as smooth as the Note 2's plastic tip stylus would do.
Not sure, if it is because of the stylus already worn out wanting a change or it is made that way.
i installed a tempered glass screen protector and it works great. its pretty smooth and less drag because of it.
I bought my note 2014 second hand so I didn't get the box with any accessories so i'm not sure if it came with replacement nibs or not.
In my note 3 box there were 5 replacement nibs, all 5 nibs are black but 2 have plastic nibs that GLIDE over the screen with very little resistance, and there are 3 rubber nibs which what comes in the s-pen from the factory - lots of friction and they don't glide at all.
I prefer the plastic nibs hands down.
Some tips are textured, I guess some people like the resistance. If you look closely at the tips in the pack that came with it, you will see.

Found many at Aliexpress
I had the same issue, tried a few things and what wound up working was a cleaner/polish I found called Brillianize. I use it about one a week on both my Note 10 and Note 4. You won't regret picking up a bottle from their website.
Hello everybody.
I own an original Galaxy Tab S, which I use at work (I'm a teacher). And I also own a Tab S2, which I use at home.
The thing is that, while the Tab S is perfectly capable of doing everything I need, it's, with it case, much heavier than the S2, and when I use it while standing for a while I get tired.
I really LOVE the case I bought a year ago for the S2. It was called "Origami Smart Case Cover for Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 T810". It's incredibly light, but I don't know what brand it is, it has the letters FC on it.
I got another origami case for the Tab S from Roocase, but it's much heavier.
The thing is, I just bought a Tab S3 and would like to know if anybody knows of a really light case for it.
Thanks in advance.
Give this a try : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUhkBIBYEIc and https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XWHM7N...=1492283382&sr=1-10&keywords=tab+s3+case&th=1
From what i read the lightest on is their own ~50$ cover , but it offers less protection. If you need some more protection then take a look at that amazon link.
I got this one

Thanks everyone. When you get your cases it would be really helpful if you could write about your impressions. I'm mainly interested on the weight: I don't care for having a really light and thin tablet and then putting it in a case that doubles it weight and width.
By the way, I realized that I could look for "fc cases" in Google and found the webpage that manufactures (or sells) the case I had for the Tab S2. Forefront Cases. However, they don't have anything for the S3.
I sent them an e-mail and got an error: their inbox is full. I tried calling them this morning and the call went straight to voice mail. I've sent them a twit, but their account has been inactive for five or six months. I'm starting to worry that they may have gone out of business.
If anybody knows a way to contact them and try to find out if they are making another origami case for the Tab S3, I'd be really grateful.

Thanks for the link, I was thinking of getting that before I got the one I listed before your post. My one gripe is how the SPEN clip would rub against the screen of the tablet, even though I have a tempered glass on mine, I'm afraid it will scratch. Guess, an option would to put some type of tape to prevent scratches.

Sadly the pen pouch interferes with the cover when folded into a triangle to prop up the tablet at an angle. The cover does not fold neatly into a triangle.

I know this is an old thread but had to ask: Aren't the dimensions of the S2 and the S3 basically identical? Can't you just use the S2 case on your S3?

Thanks a lot for your answer. I couldn't try it, since I sold the S2 with the case before the S3 arrived. But I think there'd be two main problems: muffled speakers and the fact that the S2 is 10% thinner than the S3.

Of course you're right. I'm guessing the speaker issue will be a real one for almost any case, even though some might be loose / roomy enough to make a snug fit.
Did you ever find your light case? I'm looking for one now. I'm thinking of using this (with a screen protector):
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XWTKMR3
Or this, which I'd buy but for the fact that many people say the smart function doesn't work:
https://www.amazon.com/Lightweight-Semi-transparent-Samsung-9-7-Inch-SM-T820/dp/B00UP37UKK/
Hmmm... But since I have fingerprint login maybe the smart cover issue won't be a problem for me? I don't want to leave the tablet unlocked.
Also: I was trying to find a case with a built in pen loop / holder but options are limited so my plan is to buy one where I can attach a couple of these on the same side to hold it in place (like on my Surface Pro 3):
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N8X33Y9/
I might even carry it in a pouch like this, and get some simple silicon / gel skin for minimal protection (and risk the damage if dropped):

Cheap and light enough. Nobody will mistake it for a high quality cover, but auto wake on works.
I really, really miss the origami cover, 'though. It was much more stable and you could have 3 different angles instead of just two.

Yeah I had added the S2 origami to my cart a couple of days ago but given the possible problems you raised I'm not going to buy it. But I'm glad to have thought this through a little more because I'm now thinking I won't use the smart function much and so that shouldn't be a dealbreaker.
I have had this case for my Tab since day 1 and love it. You can put the S-pen in the elastic loop if you really want to, but doesn't provide a whole lot of protection for it. The case does have the smart features for the screen wake built in and I have used these cases on my other tablets with no issues. Nice and lightweight and you have multiple angles you can set it at or just lay it flat.

Thanks. That looks like a good option (7.4 oz weight is okay).
I got a keyboard case bundled, but don't plan to use the keyboard that much. So I wanted a secondary, lightest possible option to use just for reading / markup. I went with this plus a glass screen protector (it's 3 oz):

Extremely light, and I think it'll do for my purposes.

I ordered the one in the first link the i-blason case. I'll get it tomorrow and I'll post some photos and give my thoughts since there are no reviews on this case at all. Ordered a TPG screen protector to go with it.
Beware the case magnets (smart covers) for the Tab S3, the magnet can ruin the S3 digitizer and sleep function. I had one S3 replaced due to this issue. I have never seen this problem on other devices.
