Don't know of any stores in SA as I am in Australia, but if you vote on the link specified in this thread;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1051130
then Casemate may decide to make the case and you could then order it online
I had a xoom and sold it for the tab, The tab fits in xoom case i have, the camera cutouts on the back are wrong but at least its protected.
This is the case i have.

I have the same issue. Samsung South Africa dont even have the device yet. They are expecting it this month.
In terms of accessories, i have also looked around like a nutter, and i cant find anything.
An Incredible corruptions store in Eastgate said they should be getting this week. I will be checking tomorrow as its Friday.
Thanks, still no luck. Phoned Vodashop vodaworld again today,still nothing. Let me know about eastgate.

mine came with a case and it's pretty awesome, better than any aftermarket case that i've seen
Any of you guys from SA find a case???
I've had my tab for 3 weeks now and I still can't find anything. Got some family in the UK - seriously thinking about getting a few from ebay.co.uk and getting them shipped here.
Hi guys,
It fits in an Ipad 1 case. Needs cutouts for power and camera though.

Still no luck for me, Vodaphone shop said they would contact me when they do arrive. Very frustrating, they never seem to get it right in SA.
Saw a tweet from Samsungmobilesa that vodashop's should have accesories available mid June.

Did a few stops today while I was out; IC Eastgate say they will get stock next week, IC Greenstone say they have no clue when stock is arriving. So I popped in at Vodaworld; The Vodashop recons 4 - 6 weeks until they expect stock and the Samsung Mobile guys say that they have yet to get their hands on the device never mind the accessories....
have2have has got a cover listed for around R320. Only thing is that there is 7 - 14 days for delivery... placed the order and now I wait

So far the service has been awesome. They email you every step of the order; I know that the package is now waiting to go to Washington Dulles Airport as soon as they finish the customs paperwork...
I had just made an order on ebay for a case....

At least it is made specifically for the 10.1v!

Let us know how it is please
Yes please do let us know!
Also in SA, and have been searching for a case since I got the tab 10.1v.
But now since Vodafone has dropped/discontinued the V version, i'm a sad panda because it means that 10.1V accessories (or at least a case) will be VERY rare...
so if we can get at least 1 good case somewhere it will help us early adopters a lot
looking forward to your feedback (and thanks all for the links so far!)
ok, seeing as no one has either received their imported cases yet, or no one actually cares to reply... heres an update after we did some research the last couple of days.
(also posted on AndroidZA)
decided to import a case, seeing that it is pretty much the only option...
Apart from the importing fact, we also have just about 2 options of cases
I settled on this one from amazon uk : goo.gl/mbHcJ
They estimate about 3 weeks for delivery so we'll see... at least its quite cheap (though shipping isnt...)
Saw that Have2Have advertises a similar case (goo.gl/3bboh), but called them and their US supplier doesnt have stock, so thats a fail.
But here is another viable option, though it is VERY expensive, but looks gooood...
goo.gl/TjDtg
hope it helps someone. i'll update once i get that case.
[edit: sorry about the links, cannot post links yet apparently - so just copy & paste the goo.gl links into the browser]
case from ebay...
hey people,
the case i had ordered from ebay arrived and here are pictures of it.
fits the ports really well, meaning that i can use all my ports.
microfiber material but feels not as nice as the apple one.
am quite happy even though it is a little loose (due to the material being slightly stretchable). can stand too!
pictures!

so there are two different designs of official flip cover available??.
i would wait for the one which replaces the back cover
it says it clips onto the back, why do you believe that it doesn't?
it says its official, it looks identical to the one that others have shown, the description fits..

No problem mate. Happy to have helped.
From the time I ordered mine there were 12 sold. After posting this thread it went up to 58 sold. I think they owe me commission!!
Perhaps the first person to receive the cover could post some photos...
It could be me, I was notified today that it's on it's way
I have also pre-ordered the "moulded" cover from mobilefun.co.uk ..
It appears to have a different back to the regular flip case.....
However, the pictures all look the same ..........

I ordered one a couple of days ago, like lots on here it seems (availability went from 100 odd to zero quite quickly). I think one thing's for sure - if it really isn't the official clip cover then the seller is going to see an enormous negative surge on his ebay rating . Will probably find out tomorrow...
Noreve has it too...

I had bought a Case Mate Tough skin case for my phone, and it's had a lot of issues with the power button fit, it would turn off and on by touching the area anywhere near it. I looked around case-mate.com and noticed this case is not on their website, so I contacted Case Mate and they say it's a known issue, and are going to ship me a new one when they come in sometime during in the next 2-4 weeks.. Good customer relations.

Not even sure i would want a replacement. LOL The plastic part of the case is great. Its the silicone part that sucks. I learned my lesson this time.

Got this email today from them:
Hello,
Thank you for contacting case-mate. I apologize that you are not completely satisfied with your case-mate purchase. Unfortunately, we were given a prototype Nexus phone device from Samsung that we modeled our cases from. When Samsung released the Nexus phone device to the public, they made minor changes that we were not aware of. These changes, affected the fit and function of the case. We have redesigned the case and the new cases will be available on our website in approximately one month. If you send me your shipping address, I will be more than happy to send you a replacement case at no charge. I apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused you. Please provide your shipping address below and a photo of the defective case.

Please let us know if we can be of any additional assistance.

Sadly for me because I ordered mines directly from Case-Mate.com rather than a reseller. They provided me with a coupon that gives me 20% off but wouldn't give me a free replacement and said that the free replacement is only for people who bought the case from a reseller. HOWEVER, they did refund me for the purchase I made on the Tough Case. So pretty much, I got the case for free if I want to continue using it with the current flaws of it.
So pretty much:
buy case from reseller -> free replacement
buy case from case-mate.com -> coupon code off
They also said the revised case for the Tough Case & Pop coming out later this month will fit both GSM & CDMA models.
i sent a mail to case-mate .
The case-mate Tough for the galaxy nexus is now not available in their website :
http://www.case-mate.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Nexus-Cases/Samsung-Galaxy-Nexus-Cases.asp
Just the barely case-mate is available !!
I hope a sending of revision of this case, i bought mine from a reseller.
I don't know if they exchange it for internationnal customer?
I hope so, because it's a bad advertising for their brand...
Wait and see !!
So I was looking around on Verizon's website for Xoom accessories. They are at a severely discounted price but most of it is sold out. Now when you set to see accessories for the Xoom, it shows the keyboard folio as out of stock, but I discoverer that if you click on it, sometimes it will give you the option to order it. The trick is not to click on the option for the overview of all accessories, you want to hit the button to see all recommended accessories. Once there, the case is shown as in stock. I figured what the hell, I'll order it and if anything I'll get a folio case for 30 bucks. Lo and behold it came in the mail. I'll post some screenshots and a receipt picture in a bit.
good stuff..

On the Verizon site go to shop, then do a search for the Xoom Bluetooth Keyboard Folio case. You may have to navigate around a bit, but it's worth it at $29.

I'd have to agree with that. But most of if not all of those same accessories ship from Hong Kong too...everything ordered from the site I posted might cost a few bucks more, but they're shipped from the USA and arrive much faster. To some, that's worth the few extra bucks spent.

Hey Guys
Does anyone of you know where you can find decent cases in switzerland? The only thing available here are these ugly s-line tpu cases, and I'd rather use no case than vomit everytime i look at my phone (yeah I know I'm exaggerating).
Yeah sure I could order some from Amazon or elswhere online, but the problem is that amazon often doesn't ship to Switzerland. If you order elswhere the cost of the packaging and shipping are twice the one of the case and I don't want to pay like more than 40$ for a freakin case. And even if I ordered one from outside Switzerland, there is a chance that it gets picked up at the border and you have to pay duty (I once paid 70$ for something that costed 50, because of processing fees).
if you know where to get some nice screenprotectors it would also be nice.
I don't have high hopes that someone knows a place, since the N5 isn't officialy available in Switzerland.
