So I was given the opportunity to test out 2 cases by Pyro Skins. This is one of them and it is my favorite for sue. It's made of high quality materials. It fits the tab perfectly and the clips hold the tab very firmly without even coming close to marking up the tab. It doesn't add too much bulk to the already thin tab. It doesn't cover any of the hardware buttons at all. It feels great to carry around and it looks really classy. I would definitely recommend this case to anyone! This company did an awesome job with this one and
there isn't anything I think I would change about it.

Thanks for the review.
After i saw this i instantly bought it. Looks very good and the price is amazing
Wow, that case does look amazing, probably the best one so far.
And this is why it sucks to be an early adopter of electronics, when the first come out there are no good cases for it. Then you buy one or two and not happy with it, a few months go by and then new and better cases flood the market.
Used to happen with me all the time with how often I switched Blackberry's. I have Ghost Armor on my GT so I will stick with that until more cases are out.
But I may have to buy this one for now, it looks sick.
Update: Said screw it and bought it, for how good it looks and the price I would have hated myself for waiting and then it being back-ordered.
Do a google search for a coupon code for that site and you can find a 5% off coupon.
do you have any discount coupon code ?

I love the review you gave. Hilarious! Shaken baby...the case definitely offers a super high level of protection, which is something you absolutely need for such an expensive toy.
weird, looks exactly like the acase i bought off amazon
i'll post pics tomorrow
Seems tough to get the two bottom hooks out to angle it. I'm scared it'll wear the edges out over time due to it. What a shame. Close to perfection...
PS - Is it just me or do the side flaps block a bit of the speakers?!

Really ? The two bottom hooks come out nice for me. They'll probably loosen up a little after some time. As for the speakers, the hooks are just right at the bottom of the speakers on mine. Wouldn't effect anything.

How is the weight compared to other cases?
Same as my Acase Folio, which I love, reviewed at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153572
The Acase lacks the opening for charging while the case is closed.
Can anyone post a picture/video of the Clip Case angled on the locking flap? I want to see if it is usable while on that shallow angle.

It will not go that shallow. There is a friction/spring action type thing that prevents it. If you were to force it down (which makes it feel like its going to snap) it will pop back up. Additionally, if forced down so the bottom of the tab touches the lip, the tab would be flat and not angled.
If I'm understanding what you are saying, there is no way to do it.
I ordered this case on Saturday and my wife said it was delivered today already...

Wish the pics were better so I could see what it really looked like...I cant quite make out the pattern on the back. Looks like a weave look near the top, not sure if that carries on down the entire back or not. Any one have a link to pics with better lighting, or even better...a video? Thanks for sharing, it looks nice but not sure if I can spend $20 for just a silicone case....

I bought the Commuter....meh....it's ok. Got my Impact today and I think I've found the case for me. love it so far.
I like the case. It's pretty much what i've been looking for in terms of having good protection without the bulk. I'll try to post pics later.
Edit: pics. not great...but you get an idea.

it's thicker than your normal silicone case but I think the Seidio (I have the Surface) makes the phone bulkier. The impact at least is more form fitting and doesn't add as much bulk. I will say that the Impact adds more screen protection than the Commuter. You can lay it face down with less worries.
Does the impact case collect lint and dust like the commuter?
How deep does the camera recess look, since you have it would you mind looking from the side?
Just got home (late night at work) and LOVE it! Great case, I had the body glove case till it broke around the volume rocker. This case solves the button area issues perfectly. My wife also really likes the way it fits and looks, so it's not just me either.

yep...not sure what the other guy was referring to wishing it fit tighter. It's snug. As far as lint, I haven't had a silicone case that didn't collect lint in the beginning. Then after a few days lint is usally not a problem.
Nice, that's the case I'm currently using. I really like it. It sounds like ill be happy with the impact case. Thanks

Sweet, in for one and I gave you a thanks!
a $60 case on sale for $20 simply amazing it says quality all over it
I posted about this the other day. Honestly, I love it. It does exactly what I need it to do. The only problems are software. Let's say I'm watching a full screen YouTube video with it in the typing layout, the screen will do a 180 causing me to turn the device around. That's all software.
If you guys want, I'll toss pictures up later to show you the solid build of the case. The only problem I can foresee is the front cover's magnets aren't that strong and the front cover might start to feel flimsy/lose it's shape after a while of using it to stand the device up.
I love it though and wouldn't trade it for anything. The velcro is extremely strong and holds the device in place. I wish the fit was a bit tighter, but it's still a good fit. It's also very thin in comparison to a lot of cases out there. I recommend this to a lot of people.

I'm not saying it is incredibly loose. It's actually pretty tight. They just left a tiny bit of room on the sides so the case CAN move side to side, but only about .5 of an inch or so. I'll take pictures with my Droid X in a little bit. I promise you'd love this case if you got it.
Is there only one angle for this when in viewing position? I know some of the other cases have a total of 3 angles.
What ports are available when open/closed? Are you able to charge when closed? It's hard to tell from the pictures, but is there a screen cover over the screen? Or is it just naked when opened?

I took pictures for you. There's only 2 viewing angles. The ports available when closed is just the 3.5 mm audio plug. With it open, all of them. You can change the volume when it's closed, too. There is absolutely no screen cover over the screen. Completely 100% naked.
When the pictures are uploaded, I'll link you to my Picasa album.
I'm going to edit this post shortly after I take some decent pictures. I promise you will love this product.
EDIT: Ok. They're uploading now. I DEFINITELY just guessed a number when I told you how loose it was. Wow. It's like less than 1/8th. You'll see in a second.

Awesome job on the pictures, im really happy with this case, i dont see why you would need anything other, it does everything and you get access to everything when open
$20 well spent
Looks pretty good.
It looks identical to the KeviKev I bought for 45. (now on sale for 35) Maybe the cutouts on the back are slightly different.
for $20, I might just buy a backup.
I would have liked access to the charging port while it was closed though.
i ordered the kevikev carbon fiber case, 10% off plus another 10% off with coupon code (kevikevdottcom) at www.kevikev.com
This case is perfect for the xoom... fits snug and doesn't cover up any of the screen. The angle that the case goes into for viewing is perfect.
I was considering buying the cases that were well over $50 but for $20 I got everything I was looking for in a case and more!
Yes, It's a really nice case, and keeps Xoom from falling out!
Mine should be here in the next day or so. Thanks for the heads up on this.

a bit pricey but good quality. I like the soft suede-like inside lining, and the outer leather has a nice feel to it. adds a bit of weight, but having the option to stand in multiple angles makes up for it

I got this with my tab at the launch on the 8th in NYC. I still have not opened it because I am not sure if I want to keep it or buy the official Samsung one. They did give us the free leather pouch but I want a stand ability as well. I am so torn....
I just got my tab yesterday and got this case with it. I really do like it. It feels really good and the bit of weight it adds makes the tab feel more secure when carrying it around.
I got the soft case myself. I wanted to minimize the additional weight.

yea I was gonna wait it out for the Samsung case, but it looks like you won't be able to stand it on different angles like the Belkin. it's good to be able to prop the tab on your lap like a laptop and for watching videos.
Question to other owners of this case
does yours have a second/unnecessary cutout underneath the left speaker hole cutout? I have it on mine and I don't see the purpose of it.

Yes, probably for a SIM card or a microSD card which never happened.
I like the feel of this case but the only thing I DO NOT like about it is that it doesn't "close." There is no velcro or magnetic closure of any sort so mine is going back as soon as I find something else.

ah well like I said I havent opened it yet, I will potentially since your point about the angles is a valid point. I think you kinda can make angles with the samsung one though but in a not very sturdy way since it uses the flap to hold itself up in the back creating a "^" look
I have this one too, in the blue color. I don't understand the purpose of the cutout on the left side. Anyone have any ideas?

I just realized that you can close it. If you turn the elastic strap.. it goes over the cover flap
So far I like it. Makes it feel like a book. Don't like the extra weight it gives, but I guess that's protection etc. Looking at the Samsung book case. Might switch them out. We will see.

Its essentially the same design as the verve but not leather.
In a previous post someone linked a youtube review to the verve. In regards to the typing angle issue in that the reviewer brings up, I've gotten around that by typing on the tab with the camera side down. This allows you slide the latched section of the case beneath the tab for a great typing angle.
My only beef with the case is the charging issue which was stated in a previous post

I'd have to disagree on your point about typing angle. You can get the angle as low as the comparison case you had there. The bottom of the slide in flap is grippy, so it stays on the edge of the cover. I'm typing at that low angle now and on my lap.
Actually you can close it, there's a strap that you can flop over to hold it closed.
Think it's an excellent product with one flaw: can't use it properly (i.e. propped up) while charging the device. The charger plugs in on the bottom.
Well, I just got this case today. It comes in black or white. I got the black one. I'd post pictures but my grandkids are here and I won't be able to do it until tomorrow.
My mini-review:
Pros:
Fit and Finish is beautiful.
Very light. Case and Tablet weighs 1lb 12.6ozs
Very thin.
(Added) The edges of the screen are not covered. Like the Samsung case there are 3 clips to hold the TAB. I don't like the way most ofthe other cases cover the border of the screen with "PU" or leather.
Cons:
TOO EXPENSIVE. It may be "worth" $85 + shipping for it's quality but for what it is it's just too much money
TOO EXPENSIVE
"Stand" is only a single position and the way it works is you have to unsnap the bottom half of the tablet from it's perfectly fitting snap on cover and rest it on the "latch" that holds locks the case closed. I have to believe that eventually the snaps will lose their tension and not tightly hold the Tablet. May be wrong there but it seems to be.
Must be opened to access USB connection.
TOO EXPENSIVE
I have six months to return it so I'm not worried.

I looked at that case but since it was seemingly 2x as thick and made from "synthetic leather" (either plastic or "PU" not sure which) I chose the other. I probably would prefer the Samsung over that one since the Samsung is very thin and lite. Also don't like the "hand strap" since it reminds me of a ping-pong paddle.
However if the quality is just as good it would be a good alternate choice for those who don't mind the thicker vinyl case.
Cut the price in half and I'll buy.

Aw, that's kinda upsetting. It sure looked like a nice case, and for some reason I'm a sucker for carbon fiber styling, but it's sad to hear about those downsides.
If nothing else, thanks for being a guinea pig on that! It was hard enough to justify that kind of money on a simple case even if it was perfect. The USB slot issue is the killer, really.

Same here, I have not found any cases I would think are worth buying compared to the official one.
There are many hard cases on the market and most feel like hard plastic shells. This case actually feels like rubber with the stiffness of plastic. It just feels like quality. It also manages to come about 1/4 of an inch further on the bottom and top to cover more area. The cutouts around the power and volume rockers are recessed which make a world of difference when pushing the already almost flush buttons. It also give extremely good grip. I dropped my first galaxy s3 with a casemate on it and that case didn't have any bottom or top protection and my phone suffered. I posted a picture of the damage and the casemate. If it were in the rearth it would have survived without a scratch. I can't say enough how good this case feels in the hand. Its a really slick phone and it needs a grippy case.

Glad to hear a good review. I ordered one of these for my preordered S3.:fingers-crossed:
I ordered this, the casemate barely there, the Nilkin hard case, and I bought an Affinity smoke glass hardshell from Bestbuy that I was planning to return once I got one of the cases I ordered but boy does it look nice. I might keep it. It looks gorgeous.
Is there any angle that would hit the bottom or top edge if you dropped it? like facing 45 degrees forward?

No there isn't unless it falls on a squared edge. Plus the rubbery coating gives extra protection.
if i ever buy a hardcase for my galaxy it will be this one.
glad to hear it works well.
Wow. After this case came, on the website they are giving away lanyard strap with it.......
could you post some pics of the phone with the case on it?
Thanks
Had the Slim on my SII and my Note. Absolutely loved them.
If I had a III this would be the case for me without a doubt.
It's a shame that they don't have any plans to release one for the One X.

Ordered one last night. Never used a case on my Epic 4G but that's because they were a pain to find. Looks thin enough which was my only concern. Didn't want to add on a lot of extra bulk. Thanks

I could but they wouldn't do any justice to the pics on the rearth website.
I bought one of these for my Note. For the $30 I paid for it, I expected more. Why they don't make the plastic go all the way around the bezel is beyond me. I will pass on this one for the S3.
I think it would be fragile, that the reason no cases manufacturer makes a case like this with the bottom and the top covered.
Just ordered mine, thanks for the recommendation.
It took me a while though as I could not find a slime case!

Is there a link for these cases Google isn't bringing up anything

Looks nice but for me cases with volume/power cut outs just feel awkward to me. I much prefer the built in buttons

Maybe try to search for slim case. But if you really want slime then keep looking...

@falconeight thanks for the suggestion. just ordered from their official site. they're offering free 2-3 day shipping. it can't come soon enough. i'm so stressed that something bad will happen to my new baby!

i think it's the size of the phone. large, but thin, that makes me feel like it will not take a fall very gracefully. fingers crossed until the case arrives.
oh also, in case anyone is having problems googling the case... it's Rearth Ringke Slim (the OP is missing a "g" and added the "e" in slime LOL)
This is an advertisement, not a review.
Got my Ringke Slim the other day. Similar to my Galaxy Nexus one, except it doesn't protect the top and bottom and it doesn't come with a screen protector or rubber port protectors. Overall I love it though, very thin. But after receiving my ROCK case, I'll probably use that more often. If you're looking for something that will make it look like you don't have a case on it, this is it.
