So...I was gonna get a seidio innocase II however, I knew the platinum case at bb was identical and I was able to get it for 21.00
So when I got it I knew about how it fit, where it fit good but felt loose in the corners. I also saw the complaints about the felt not actually covering the whole back or sides.....so I did something about it.
I started looking for sticky felt, couldn't find any thin stuff. Then I thought of fabric which would work....however then I stumbled upon felt contact paper at Michaels....all they had was red. So I said screw it and bought it any way.
An hour later I came up with this....originally it coverd the top and bottom sides more but when i did that the case wouldn't close. so i had to trim it back some.
Now the case fits damn good....chances of dirt getting in there are a lot less, the sides and full back are protected and I think it looks pretty good for my non artsy ass. It was actually quite a pain in the ass with its original design, which wrapped the top and bottom areas, if I would have known that the case wouldnt have snapped shut doing those areas it would have saved me at least a half hour.
Of course there is the new active case now and i might check that out but looking at the reviews it looks a little big
Great idea... Think I'll be hitting Michael's today!!! The slightly loose fit is starting to drive me crazy... Everytime I pick-up my phone and the case wobbles I get images of scratches all over my baby!!!
to cut the holes I used an xacto knife.
Thanks, so what is the product called? I want to call around and see if they have any.
NICE! Good job! I should do this if Seidio doesn't RMA my case.

my friend had one of these for his nexus, it made it freakishly huge...i'll be interested in your feedback once you get it....i dont mind if it gets heavier tho...this phone is soooooo light compaired to a N1
I hear you. If that's the case then I would use it when I really need it.

I'm sorry, thats god awful. It looks like a very cheap plastic you'd find on a toy tool box.
Don't listen to him, this looks like a good case. Let us know how it is, looks great, I'd like a metal case.
Aluminum = plastic????
Thanxs mafaesto
Anyway still waiting. Coming from Hong Kong. I'm not clumsy. I can't say the same for the rude and "blind" people around me. Public transportation, parades, sporting events it's easy to get this little phone knocked out of you hand in my opinion. So why not have metal and foam protecting your investment. I probally won't use it if i'm driving that day but going to party definitely.
Hey check this out, it's basically the same case as you linked in the OP (same brand) but specifically designed for the Vibrant, rather than the international Galaxy S. So basically, you don't have that extra hole for the FFC.
That and it's a pretty cool color, but they also have black available.

Lol Looks Like does not mean Aluminium = Plastic. It looks like plastic, that's all im saying.
Aluminum will **** with your phones reception
The case came today. No reception issues. It adds some weight to the phone. The hinge and latch might get caught if you put it in your pocket with other stuff (I don't). But it is protection! No problems accessing buttons. Will post pics later.
Looking forward to pics! I was going to order the black one but was concerned with reception issues. Is the inside of the case lined with a non-aluminum material?

I haven't seen a thread for these yet so I thought I'd post this. There are around 200 different skins and they look pretty good. If anyone has tried one let me know how well they work/look.
Here is the link:
http://www.techiewarehouse.com/Samsung-Vibrant-T959-Protective-Vinyl-Decals-s/3343.htm
I picked up one similar on Ebay - I guess the biggest pain is getting it on just right the first time around. If you mess up and have to re-apply, it tends to get stretched out.
Overall though, it stayed on my phone maybe 5 minutes before I decided that it made the phone look (AND FEEL) like something bought in the toy isle at a dollar store.
Of no use to me. I use the semi-hard rubber/silicone T-Mobile case and think out is awesome. Our has survived a couple drops without a scratch. However, that being said, Great Find! There are some *****in' cases/covers on that site.

From my Vibrant w/ Nero V3 & VooDoo
I bought the white one (reviewed it in a thread) and use the front only. I am pleased with this, the back looked like crap so i made, then bought a white battery cover.
I've gotten a few skins from SkinIt.com and they're always great quality, plus you can design your own (my personal preference.)
I thought about getting one, but I think I'm going to get a case-mate barely there case and call it a day. Plus, I don't want to spend $12 just to decide I don't like it after a week

Agreed for 99% of the designs. But the camo ones are great
I personally get mine from decalgirls: http://www.decalgirl.com/category.view/Samsung-Vibrant-Skins/1/30/0/0/0/0/1/0
Bah. Ebay is bar far the cheapest for these mighty skins. You can get three for $9 shipped!
I had a code to get a free skin. I'm looking forward to seeing how it looks on the phone. since I already have a screen protector, I don't think I want to put the decal on the front, but the back looks cool. I went with the TRON disc skin.
http://www.skinit.com/images/web/product_shot/product_shot39547685.jpg
I received the skin yesterday and put it on my phone.
It looked cool, but the skin itself wasn't quite lining up with the edges around the phone leaving a rough edge along the sides where the skin ended.
I ended up taking it off and reapplying it a few times, but couldn't get it to sit right and had some small creases along the smaller edges and some bubbling. I ended up throwing it out since it got too messed up from trying to reapply it.
I'm glad that I got it for free. Since it didn't work out for me all that well, I'm glad I didn't lose out on any money.
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...
Sent from my Galaxy Tab!
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.

It's a case and not a dock, dork.
If only there were an easy way to get one of these in Australia We need a bloody Amazon Australia quick smart.

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.
Anyone has this/tried it?
Stand Smart Slim Leather Case Cover
Looks pretty decent to me and i'm thinking of getting it, was wondering if anyone had any experience with it.
i ordered one, this week, i will report as soon as i get it!
I just did as well, the silver version ;D
How will the smart cover part of that case stay on the tablet when covering the screen?
It does look good, waiting for your reviews of this case.
I got the black one about a week ago..it takes 2-3 weeks for china stuff to arrive
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium
Lordwinkevin whats your review then? and what of the screen cover, does it "lock" in any way?
This is by far the best designed case you can get for the Tab10. All the other cases have ridiculously huge foot prints when in a stand mode.
The part of the case that covers the back looks cheap, seems there is a white colored plastic trim piece on it.
I would love to see some better quality pics of this case, the seller's pics are not revealing enough.
hmm i just ordered it couple of days ago... mine's shipping from HK... hopefully faster?
Ive had mine for over a week. This case is heavier than my tab! its essentially a cheap piece of plastic cover for the back and a microfiber suede material for the flap. Which is the heavy part ironically. It contains four pieces of some kind of heavy metal and a small magnet. Be carefull when closing it because I was scared that it might break my screen upon impact. And there isnt any way of it staying closed. It just flaps open if turned around. Ive already received a refund for mine. Now I just use the case as a weapon. The last thing a thief will think when I pull that thing out is that I will hurt him but honestly that **** hurts like hell, lol.

Just watched it, thanks for the link. Seem alright. Ill make a small review once i get mine.
So, any updates on this?
im waiting on mine as well...should come in any day now
Mine came in the mail today. I was going to do a youtube unbox but I have a crappy HP computer with windows 7 (no voice over in movie maker).
Anyway, I really like it like the case. It snaps on and off easily, has good cut outs and the plastic back adds a little stiffness to the tab. Love how light and thin the GTab is but it felt just a little too flexible. It also works well in portrait mode (how I use my tab most of the time) because it's foldable. It's more of a protector so I'm also using a Built 10 netbook sleeve that I picked up at staples for $10.
Cool, thx for the pics !
im still waiting on mine
Edit: Turns out it was waiting for me in the mail looks good, only thing is i asked for the silver one and i got the white, not really sure if i should complain or not, its not like im going to the "store" to return it hehe. Other then that, its cool and doesnt feel cheap at all
Just got mine today after seeing it discussed in this thread - glad I did, absolutely love it! Highly, high recommend this to anyone looking for a lightweight but durable case.
this cover looks beautiful with the tablet I think.
Hi guys,
Is the cover for the front able to stay closed, or is it not magnetic at all?
Im looking for a slim line cover/case and this looks nice, plus its an obvious apple cover rip off, which aint that bad.

It doesnt stay locked. It has magnets but it just barely reaches the top besel so it doesnt connect to it.
I've been using it for 3 weeks now, and i love it!
