No 'real' use' feedback but i notice its flush with the phone so it wont offer that little bit of screen protection you sometimes get. Just a thought.
I have 2. Its not flush.. it sticks up a *slight* bit and my screen doesn't touch when I place it face down on my desk. This case IMHO is the best that's out there. No its not bullet and water proof but its sexy and slim, perfectly fitting and a very high end feel. I have the white and black and both are great.

I bought it, it's shamelessly gorgeous. Everything else quoted by daddymatt. For the price, ya can't go wrong with it. I've already saved a white one in my wishlist for the next purchase.

I bought it when i first ordered my note and have had it on since (as well as bought one for the gal friend). It's freaking awesome, would definitely recommend it to anyone.
Own one as well and very very satisfied with my purchase.
Owned an SGP ultra thin prior and I prefer the Elago over it, due to its better fittment and less flashy look.
so I managed to drop my phone on the sidewalk with this case on. As luck would have it, it fell upright, bottom down first and made contact right at the part where the case ends and the phone begins. Even though the case took a majority of the hit, there is a dent on the phone's frame itself. Not the result I was hoping for.
On the flip side, I have also dropped it face down and there wasn't a scratch on the screen.
Bottom line, if you're looking for all around protection, it may not be your best choice. Maybe getting one of the aluminum bumpers could be the way to go.

Good morning, captain Obvious.
Did you really thought that this case will protect the phone when dropped?
The elago slimfit case is a super all around case.. I have had the black one for about a week...
Interested if anyone has managed to put their Note/case into any of the docks available?.. i am particularly interested in either the Samsung vertical dock with audio connector or the triangular potrait/landscape dock..
cheers

Are you talking about with the case on? If that's what you mean, then it kind of fits in the vertical dock. It doesn't go down all the way obviously but it recognizes it as being connected, charging, and so on. Only thing I've noticed is that on AOKP it thinks the vertical dock is a horizontal one and wouldn't change for me.

I'm using the samsung one, here's a picture with the case and without the case. You can kind of see how it raises it just a little bit. Not much at all really. As far as removing the case, I start from the top left corner then pop it off of the bottom right. I don't like applying a lot of pressure on the power button.
anyone have the white one? is it grippy or is it slippery? cause the black one is rubber type plastic?

Hey Guys,
I'm trying search for some sort of a folio case of sorts for the Galaxy Tab 10.1. It should be slim and should be able to keep the tablet slightly lifted to allow easier typing and also allow it to stand vertically. I have a folio case but lately it causes the screen to create the famous oil slick issue.
the only other decent looking case I found was this
Does anyone have any experience with the above or any other suggestions.
Thanks

That's the one I got (only in grey/white). Good solid fit with no movement once it's locked in. It should do everything you need it to. The only issue I have with it is that you need to open fold back the cover to charge. Thinking about getting the craft knife out to cut a slot myself...
Edit: does anyone know if this case works with the Samsung desktop dock?? The cover needs folding back to reveal the charging port so wondering if that makes it too 'thick'...

Does the magnet actually keep the cover on? I thought I read somewhere that there's no metal for it to cling to.

do you have a suggestion to what the "other" style could be?
The magnet doesn't hold the cover shut. It only holds the triangularily shaped folded cover in position to act as a stand for the tablet. As already said, there is no magnetic material inside the tab to use magnets to keep cases shut.

I personally have the PU Leather Case Smart cover. It works just fine but damn is it heavy . Where I can normally watch a movie while holding the tablet, I cannot while using the smart cover, it just makes it to heavy.

That sounds great but I am still looking for something that is light cause I'm always on the go and don't want the extra bulk. I am currently eyeing a Galaxy Tab 10.1 2 Book cover, it seems to fit our tabs perfectly. I just wonder if that is heavy or what.

is the front lip thick enough to protect the screen and button when placed on a surface face down?
no the lip isn't thick enough to protect the front button and screen. I have a screen protector on anyway so screen is protected. I don't like the other TPU cases with a thick lip as it makes the phone seem really thick.
Thanks for the pictures. That looks better than I thought it would.
I for one definitely dig the design.
You'd also have to be a moron to purchase a single case rather then the 2-pack, offered for the same price: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ETC-2PKSCEGSTA

i think only samsung is offering the twin pack (clear and blue) for $19.99 (currently on back order), other sites show the twin packs as either white or blue, the clear one is sold by itself for $19.99.
Looks good I love it
These cases look ok on pictures and are really thin which is a plus but not good to hold in my opinion. You can actually feel the pattern and the whole thing feels cheap.
I'm selling mine..

OP, Its hard to tell from the angles, but it looks like the case is so thin that the power button sticks out further than the case itself?

During a hard case that fits the couple did not see the case.
It is easy to use and design is too good.
Design, functionality, color, price all good.
In particular, the color of polished too good.
I bought two mint color is matte bumpers.
Also ordered the red.
I'll upload the picture again being red.

there are a couple of videos where it shows someone brushing the lock point hook thing with his thumb, and then it doesn't come undone until he wants it to. i think it's like 3 or 4 in the OP.
the design is great, i dont' know how often i'd use the card holder, though.

The case is a plastic (polycarbonate) bumper with a plastic backplate that sits under it. Under the backplate is an indented card holder which fits one card. The bumper clips around the frame.
Pros:
- Concealed card holder is a great feature
- All edges of the phone are covered as well as the backplate
- Raised edges around the entire screen holds it off flat surfaces when face down
- Buttons all fully accessible - not restricted in any way
- Perfect fit, easy installation, clip is very firm
- Very thin
Cons:
- Black plastic backplate is very susceptible to smudges/fingerprints. Minor issue really.

Wow! That was fast. It's got users who are already buying. Wow!

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
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MV1CX4I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

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.

Agree with that. So cancelled my order and ordered this one with a pouch for the S Pen

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.

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.

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):

I ended up getting this one.

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.
