Wish I'd seen this yesterday. I ordered the same case from Amazon for $19.95, but I still need to claim my ebates signup bonus. I'll post a review when it comes in tomorrow.
From what I've seen, this is identical to the Marware case but with fake leather on the lid instead of fabric.
Edit: and I'll never find out. Ordered with Prime early last week, and the seller hasn't shipped yet according to UPS. Cancelled my order and I'll probably buy the Marware instead.
Yeah, it looks just like my Marware case, which I love btw!

Looks like the case a coworker has on thier ipad. hopefully it works as well
I got that case a week ago for 10$ with a coupon. It is disappointing and is not worth over 10$. Back case is molded plastic, front is thin and not too durable felt/leather(?) sandwich that folds back and sort of creates a stand. Bump it and it will fall. Very cheap quality.
the Marware case has no problem sticking to skins that i got from ebay also.. i bought 2 and put one of them around the glass but the other two are on the front and back of the case.. no problem sticking and looks cool... of course you have to take a razor and cut the seam out..
I have this case and so far I love it. Like many people have mentioned it's not the highest quality material but it gives great protection, is functional (love the stand), and looks pretty good. Not only that but it's half the price of the marware one! Would definitely recommend this.
After two orders, finally got one. If your primary use for the KF is to stand in landscape or lie flat on a desk, it's pretty good. The inner felt lining is a nice touch and the backshell fits great and feels solid.
If you do anything at all else with your KF, buy the Marware instead. Even if it's currently $20 more. The big difference between the two is that the Acase's lid doesn't fold all the way back, so you can't one-hand it anymore without the lid flapping around to the left. For my purposes, it's crap. Return'd.
Great deal!
From what I've read the Marware case can be laid down completely flat whereas the Acase has issues with that. They are both designed the same but I guess you get what you pay for. I have the Marware case because it was included in my gift. I'm glad I didn't get the Acase for myself though. That tiny issue would've drove my insane lol.
How does everyone like this case?
The plastic part holds the kindle very well. The flap however, leaves much to be desired. It doesn't close all the way, and doesn't fold behind the kindle properly. There's not enough fabric on the "hinge" so it won't fit flush.
It drives me crazy, and I hate it =P
I ordered both this case and the marware case. I will take pics of both and let you guys know the differences.

So I went to LA... where they sell discounted stuff, y'know, that place... anyway I spent $11 and got a Gel Case with is not bad to be honest, could be a little more snug, but it'll do for now until the big name brands come out with cases (I like otterbox. I really wanted to talk about the screen protector... WOW... what a POS! I forget the brand but It looked like the brand and packaging they sell at the mall carts, but obviously a lot cheaper due to where I purchased it. So Yea I had it on for about 1 day and just had to take it off, fingerprints all over (much worse than without a screen protector!), although it was smooth it was not as "free flowing" as the screen itself, but it was a lot smoother than some "anti-glare" screens. yea, worse $6 I ever spent, I took it off and order a set of realook screens from amazon, can't wait.

Did you get this case? It's actually has a pretty good feel and snug fit. I got red for under $4 free ship. Only gripe is the 1 random hole that doesn't serve a purpose.

I ordered a phantom protective screen for $6 on black friday, can't wait to put it on!
yea, I think? It looks exactly like that, no branding on the case itself. I'll be changing it out to an otterbox commuter once they develop one.
This case is very nice. Especially for the price of under 15 bucks shipped. The leather is very soft, almost feels real haha. Might be... The clips are very secure, they do not block any ports, speakers etc. There is a nice "friction" styled clip that holds great closed. The different angles for viewing the tab are great too, very solid "lock up". The interior material is soft too.
In the end, you cant go wrong with this case.

Not for Italy....thank you amazon!
I got it for $10 shipped from Amazon, and they are offering to refund the whole thing if you leave a review.
I don't think they are doing it anymore...

I got my case yesterday, been waiting since August 24th or something for it lol. It was on backorder, but I got a paper saying if I did a review (not a 5 star.. I says just a review) I could get a refund. I will say I like this case a lot better than the Samsung one, for the main reason it has more angles. It does feel a bit more rough on the tab, but I like how all the ports/buttons are showing.
If you just need a case to hold your tab at angles while you use it, I think this is the cheapest case out there for it.
The Samsung official book case is very very nice, and super thin. But the viewing angles are horrible. I have this case on the way and will be going with this one for sure.
I just got a Galaxy Tab last week (gift from awesome girlfriend...) - ordered a 3 pack of screen protectors (Acase, not too bad) and this case on Amazon.
Ordered the case on Thursday, had it by Saturday (Amazon Prime). Looks like some people were waiting quite a while to get these.
I was hoping for a case that was made of fairly tight leather... you know how some cases look cheap because the leather is very poofy, has a lot of extraneous padding in it? So, this case still retains a slim sleek look, like a nice portfolio.
I like the microfiber inside with the three grooves for leaning the device into.
I wish the clip that held the case closed was like 2mm longer so it really reaches around the corner of the device and clips in solidly. It's held closed pretty well, but I've been bending it a bit to make it clasp just a bit tighter.
There's a little embossed viper logo on the front... some other brand on Amazon, equally cheap, had the Samsung logo on there.
In all, pretty great case for about $15 shipped.
The card I received in my package did instruct me to write a five star review for them, but DID NOT mention anything about getting a refund if you do so. I would say don't buy expecting to get it for free
I also just recieved this case. It's pretty slick, way better than the cheap eBay case I was using before (which cost twice as much.) Only complaint is that the case was mighty stinky to begin with, but its fine now.
this case is awesome and is way better than the official Samsung one. it did cause the newton ring, but I got rid of it. going to see if this trick works to keep the ring off.
This case is just superb for the price.

This case has been reviewed several times, although under different names. Search for "clip case." I got it free (after the refund). For me it's the best case on the market right now.
just ordered one of these just to have another spare. 15 cases to my collection. i really need to stop. this is getting ridiculous. lol.
Hahahah! You, sir, have what we call a case-by-case addiction!
These are exactly like the Pyro one you reviewed a while back. Can't beat the price though.
I agree, it's like the Pyrotek case. It looks a bit on the cheaper quality side, but I got it because I was tired of the wonky angles the official case was giving me.

So the only difference between this case and the Pyro case is that this one feels cheaper? It feels pretty nice to me. The price is just untouchable though. lol
I always wondered what the difference between this and the pyro case was.
yeah haha I dont know how come can consider this cheap lol price yeah but quality? Its pretty much to go to case for the tab. Its 15 bucks shipped, looks great, feels great, quality and craftsmanship is nice too.
Its just another case with the crappy stand design. Its not worth it. Look at the massive foot print it has when in stand mode. How can you use the device on your desk when the bottom case sticks out at you like a sore thumb. Very annoying.

I made my assessment from looking at task650's review on the Pyro Skin case.
When I look at my case, the clips that hold in the sides of the tab have so overlapping of the material (which I just trimmed off) the material that the tab stands up on for the angles has this grainy look on it, whereas on the pyroskin one, it looks smooth. There's the little notches on the 2nd stand that the pyroskin case has, that looks like it may promote a tighter close, where on this case the side clips just press onto it. Although all these observations could possibly be exclusive to my case.
That's what I made my observations on. I'm not saying it's a POS... because it's not; i'm just saying the quality LOOKS a bit on the cheaper side... which is fine by me because it was cheap as hell and it does it's job awesome.
I ordered one of these
http://www.gumdropcases.com/military-edition-samsung-galaxy-tab-rugged-case.html
about a week ago and was told "Shipping in two to three weeks".
Well, hallelujah, it shipped yesterday.
I will post a full review when it arrives.
i'm not sure how I could carry this around....
I have two kids, two dogs, a swimming pool with a concrete deck and I use my Tab on the treadmill and elliptical. I'll take all the protection I can get. My iPod is in an Otter case, and I can't count the number of times it's been dropped in the gym and the case has saved it.
Looks great. It will match my uniform but isn't it a little expensive?
I just bought one, too! My kid has a tendency to drop things!
Been using mines for the past month. Black on black was the one and only choice for me. Plus, the optional screen protector works better than I had expected.
Sent from my Cyanogen-filled G2x or my GTab 10.1 now "In Paris"
Well, this thing arrived earlier this week. I'm not happy, but before I get into a rant, let me see how Gumdrop deals with the issue. The issue is - I specifically bought the Military Edition for the microfilm dust filters and.....there're aren't any. I paid $10 more than the regular case, for a...regular case, but in green. Other than that, the case looks like it offers some serious protection for the Tab.
So far, their response has been underwhelming. The have offered a 10% refund. Well, I'm not the best at math, but if I have done this right...10% of $59.95 is $5.99. A regular non military case is $10 cheaper. I'm still getting the short end of the stick.
I've politely declined their offer and asked for a full refund, item to be shipped back at THEIR expense. Does this seem reasonable, as the item I received is not the item that I paid for?

Sounds reasonable to me. If you used PayPal or CC just dispute it if they say no.
OK, Kudos to Gumdrop for responding quickly and satifactorily. I didn't realize that the military case comes with a clear plastic shield for the camera lens which the regular case doesn't. So it's not the exact same case as the regular. This is why I was offered 10% instead of $10.
They've offered to send me a shipping label and I can return the item for a full refund. I really wanted the dust filters, so I might take them up on the offer.
Anyway, good customer service and the case itself is well designed and offers what appears to be significant protection (I'm not going to purposely drop it to find out though).
It would take the $5.99 they are offering and go buy some thin cloth filter material similar to the material or composition of some reusable shopping bags and cut some strips to cover the speaker holes, glue it to the inner edge pieces or just place it there and call it a day.
Just ordered one today....looking forward to it.

One-handed use?
Can anyone who has received and started using their Blurex case please let me know how this case works one-handed? I can't tell if the cover will fold all the way over flat or not and it seems as if the clasp piece may make it awkward to hold on the left hand side. Any pictures of it fully opened would be a huge help!
Thanks in advance!

,I have the vipertek case, same exact case different name. It lays back flat when open. The clasp sticks out but imho it helps your hand steady it easier when using one handed, either hand feels good different ways of holding but comfortable. Don't have camera or would get a picture.

I picked up the Spigen case from Amazon. It's built well and fitment is great. It came with the screen protector. Like many others report, it has a lot of issues. Their customer service is a joke regarding the known issue as they request photos and vidoes. Really? All they had to do was read the Amazon reviews to see the first run was faulty.
Either way, the case is solid. Just don't get their screen protectors.
i ended up getting a tpu case for £1.90, its pretty darn good, also a tempered glass screen protector ive put on, im pretty confident its well protected now..

You've probably come across this. Its a little bulkier than I hoped but its growing on me. I love the tempered glass but wish I hadn't been so eager to stick it on--no bubbles, just the tiniest piece of lint inside. Its hardly noticeable, and undetectable unless the screen is lighter background, but those things bother me. Next time I'll use latex gloves to apply it.
I like the glass back to but not crazy about the amazon logo being in full view. What do people think about a nice android logo or cyanogenmod decal?
Also...the headphone cut out doesn't leave room for larger audio jacks. It doesn't affect me but Some peoples car jacks won't connect.
Overall excellent buy for the money.

Thanks for the tip. For $9, it's like buying the tempered glass and getting the case for free. Definitely worth a try with no real downside if it turns out to be too bulky.

It was a great deal. To be honest, only reason its bulkier than I thought was because one of the reviews said it was "less bulky than expected..." But the pic in the ad doesn't really mislead. It'll probably be the same size as you imagine--about a half inch thick.
And take my advice applying the glass. Its super easy but read it through first and keep it as clean as possible.

AT&T store case sale
Local AT&T stores seem to be having a fire sale on Fire Phone cases. I picked up a nice Speck case, retail $35 for $5. They had several other cases there too. This has also been mentioned on Slickdeals re the eBay Fire Phone/Amazon Prime deal (the price of the eBay deal seems to change from $139 to $189 depending on the sellers mood).

They had the Blue and the Pink. They also had a leather case that said 50% off of $35, but when they rung it up it was $5. Leather was nice and small but offered little protection...no raised lip around the display.
There might have been some others...don't remember them all. They were on a clearance rack.

I found the Incipio extended battery case at my local ATT store marked down from 90 to 10. You pretty much just have to go ask and someone will go dig around in the back and find what they have. I also picked up a regular incipio case with the aluminum back, but is kind of warped already and doesn't stay on that well. For 5 bucks, it's not even worth taking back to exchange!
I just bought the Amazon Polyurethane Case for Fire Phone, Blue when I purchased the phone they had them for $10. It works great, doesn't get in the way of the buttons/ports while still protecting the corners, and has a nice texture that isn't too slick but cleans up well. It barely adds anything to the phones dimensions as well.
I bought the Incipio Dual Shine case from an AT&T store for $10 and it has been pretty good. A little heavy, but the brushed metal back looks slick. I've dropped it a few times and it has held up.
