Hey guys
Has anybody got the case below?
Any thoughts on it?
Is it worth the 45 quid?

I bought a case just like this one and I'm really happy with it . Only difference? I got mine for less then one third of the price (it is a no-brand... but it looks the same as the pictures in your link and it's really great).
For more info, look at the thread talking about the one I got (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1338546). Also, if you wish to check pictures/price here's an ebay link where I bought it from (http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270831391457&ssPageNam e=ADME:L:OC:AU:1123).
[Edit] Just spotted a difference on the pictures (at least I believe it is). The case you posted has leather on the "inside" of the case too, whereas my case has... dunno, something else . I'm guessing the all leathery look would be nicer, but that's the difference between a no-brand and a branded name I guess.
The best part about this case is that you can actually keep your Tab in it all the time, even when you want to use the camera or charge the device. This is very important to me as I carry it around all the time and my little brother and sister use my Tab from time to time, and of course they aren't as careful with it as I am. Having it in a case all the time definitely helps me relax when I see them handling my precious device

Check the forums, this same case is sold under many different names, so several people have started threads. II got it for $15 american (and they refunded that after I left a good review). Best case for the tab, but 45 quid (@$70) is insanely overpriced.
I have it. But as sad before you can have it for less money.
I've had mine about a month now,
Ok it's not the cheapest but considering what it's protecting is ten times the value of the case it's worth it. It's not the first case I've used but it's the best so far, well made, solid and sturdy.
The different angle positions are very useful.
As mentioned before it's not the cheapest but neither is my tab, so to me it's worth the extra few quid.
Hope this helps.
get the clip case from pyro skins, it's just the same one but much cheaper...
I got the one from Amazon branded Moko, but looks the same. Paid $18 US for it, and I absolutely love it.

OK, there have been a few different post asking about available hard cases for this phone and there seems to be very few if any that are worth having. I have been looking around at different companies trying to get some hope and came across a company out of Tucker, Ga called Case-mate. They make many different styles of cases for many different phones, even one for the Vibrant. So what I have done is posted on their feedback and product forum requesting support for the Captivate. Please if you are interested a hard case for the captivate and like what you see on their site BE PROACTIVE! Post on their site and ask for what you want, tell them what you would be interested in. Don't just leave it up to these companies to brush aside the Captivate because of lack of interest. The squeaky wheel gets the oil!
Here is the link to Case-mate's main page:

Here is a link to the already running post about trying to get a Captivate case made:
http://feedback.case-mate.com/forums/26011-product/suggestions/997283-at-t-captivate-samsung-galaxy-s?ref=title
For reference here is the case that they made for the Galaxy S/ Vibrant:

$30? Jeez that's a 1/5th of the phone cost heh.

If it's a quality case I wouldn't mine it at all. I'd rather spend $30 on a case that I will be happy with and will last for a long time than spend $10 on a crappy case that doesn't fit right and doesn't last a month.
I'd really like to see Incase make a case for the Captivate. Their iPhone cases are awesome.

Complain about paying $30 for case but when you drop your phone that one time and the screen cracks it would be a lot cheaper than paying for a new phone. Some people just don't understand that quality does always come cheap, hell an Otterbox for the iPhone 4 is $50 and I would plunk that cash down in a heartbeat for a quality case.

I just saw that. Pretty lame. Didn't stop me from voting for the other captivate suggestions however.
I'm shocked the admin wrote that. You would think they'd be in the business of wanting to make money

well...I guess it's all relative what a "good deal" is, but I got married on friday, graduate school in 3 weeks, and have yet to find a full time, salaried position with benefits. I'm currently turning a wrench in a shop as much as I can on weekends to make some $$, but the GI Bill has helped wonders.
In short, I stay strapped for cash. Never broke, but always lookin for a deal

Came across this just now, and didn't even hesitate to order. I figured even if the whole package sucks, I paid under 10 bucks for expedited shipping. If it works out, I've got a case til I decide which nice one to get (OB or Seidio prolly...) and car charger (already have a decent screen protector). For 10 smackeroos, I'll take that risk
Either way...not trying to advertise, hope this isn't interpreted as such, I just figured this deal had to be shared!
Looks like a good deal to me. I don't like cases though. I like my.phone like my women... naked. The captivate is too pretty to hide behind a case.

I got this one last week, will be writing a reveiw soon. The case is good, the charger is ok but is not for a Captivate, the bag says is for a Motorola Razr and the screen protector can't say nothing because I am using a different one.

thanks for the info. that's pretty much about what I expected. I wasn't gonna worry about the screen protector, as I, like you, am using a different one, mainly i bought it 'cause i figgered it might work out to a cheap, halfway decent case, and a bonus charger

LOL i admire you sir
This just came out for the Galaxy Tab 10.1. If you were waiting for the Samsung bluetooth Keyboard, I would strongly urge you to look at this model. The method that Zagg uses allows you to use the case in a tilted position in bed - which is so much more convenient.
I ordered it on Wednesday, received this afternoon and am typing on it right now. It's a really good design with no noticeable flaws. Check it out on Zagg's website...

I was just reviewing this. It looks very nice. I just ordered one.
I think you will like. It is very similar to the zaggfolio for ipad 2 case so you can review the reviews on that. I'm very glad that Samsung sat on their hands regarding their Bluetooth case. This one is so much better in my humble opinion.

It actually looks quite nice.
When closed does the screen touch the keyboard?
I just picked one up from Best Buy, works great and seems to be pretty solid construction wise, but still adding only minimal bulk.
The keyboard does not come into contact with the screen when closed.

Best Buy already has them in stock for the Tab?
@nuprotocol:
Yeah, I saw one there yesterday. It was mislabeled as 49.99, and I would have bought it in a heartbeat at that price. Was very disappointed to find out the actual price was $99.99.

I'm surprised they wouldn't honor that price if it was mislabled. How do you like it so far?

Same thing happened about 5 minutes ago to me. It was labeled at 59.99 but when i got to the register it was 99.99. Oh well. I bought it anyway. I ike it so far. Better than any of the other keyboard cases ive seen yet.

Yeah, I think they mixed up the 7 inch and 10 inch case prices. They actually had to check the serial number on the price tag to realize that it wasn't for the item I'd grabbed. No one ever accused Best Buy of hiring tech-savvy employees.
@nuprotocol
Pfft. I didn't buy it. I wasn't about to take that sort of bait-and-switch.
from ebay
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270831391457&ssPageNam e=ADME:L:OC:AU:1123
review:
After my first disapointing buy from ebay i bought this "sexy"
synthetic leather case.
Its weight is 290 grams.
Is a very-very slim case and when it closed, the case is tightly fixed on the tablet.
It has 3 deep grooves for standing and the tablet is very stable in these positions.
The philosophy of this case is "to not hiding nothing from the tablet when you use it."
On the back side there is a gentle opening for the camera.
It smells like leather.
The close clip aplly a good force to keep the case closed.
Every button or socket of the tablet is accesible with closed case
And finally i am happy, and this is the most important
Looks good, does it have a typing angle? What is the name?
also are you able to charge the tab without having the case open? i have one such and i need to have my case open each time i charge which is a pain
This is maybe the case I'm looking for. Can you please share the name and the link for the case. Since you can't post links, replace for examples the dots of the url with spaces or some other characters.
Maybe this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320786081962#ht_2592wt_1165
You have to open the case when charging (if I remember right).
I bought this. Premium quality indeed.
EDIT:
cheaper one

The Style is the same like "PyroSkins and Vipertech" but what about the leather quality?

23 us dollars without shiping cost

I must say the case looks really nice!
I was wondering about the 3 viewing angles though - do they firmly support the Tab? Would hate to buy it and then find out it slips and falls out when I set it up on one of the angles (I saw that happen before...). Also, is it possible to use this case to prop your Tab up when you put it in your lap (in bed or something similar)? Or is it too flimsy?
And do you feel the extra weight when you carry the tab around? I really love how light it is right now, you don't even notice you have it in your bag (with the standard samsung pouch on) and it's really easy to hold it in one hand and typing with the other if you're walking around the house.

The gaps for the 3 viewing angles are deep enough, and yes you can use it in your lap, my wife do it often.

is still light it is just 290 grams more.
but if you want to use it with one hand, i think that the best way is
to hold it in portrait like a book because the total weight is about 850 grams
Well you got me sir, just ordered one myself. Hope it works as well as you described
Will report back once I have it and test it out a bit ^^
Can anyone confirm if this will fit tmobile galaxy tab 10.1?
Sent from my SGH-T859 using XDA App
Isn't it the same size? If it is, it should fit... can't help you out there though as I have a 7500 one.
The same case, with a new name, posted once again in a new thread. This was $12 on amazon last week.
Really? I sure couldn't find it when I looked (didn't look really hard though)
Doesn't really matter though, if it's a good case I'm more then willing to spend $23 on it. The most basic samsung pouch costs 25€ (about $35) here :S.

You definitely didn't look very hard. Here's my post from last week. Link to amazon where you can get if now for $19.

Aye, you're right. Wouldn't help me though, since amazon tells me that "there is a slight problem with my order" (they can't ship it to my place for some reason).
Still, good to know a cheaper option might exist for some people, thanks!

For people trying to find one from the UK...
I purchased a look a like case from here:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005ECHQ4C
I was struggling to find it as cheap as in the US for example.
The one from the above link, seem to be very good so far. All viewing angles work great, both on a flat surface and on my lap. The typing position is my most used.
'Leather' quality seems good so far. Of course it is going to add some weight, but not really an issue for me. ALL ports/buttons are fully accessible, inc charging when case is closed.
its a great case
It has been a debate ive been having with myself for the last few weeks. Just go with the $15 fake lifeproof case off aliexpress, or dish out the 89.99 for the real lifeproof. To me, it couldn't possibly be worth $75. Plus I have watched a lot of youtube videos of the fake lifeproof cases and they all seem to work fine. What do you guys think/recommend? Its a tough choice..$90 is a lot of money to throw around for a case.
Im currently using the fake from aliexpress and i like it. Only gripe is the screen plastic under the sun. Its not as clear under direct sun and even with brightness at 100.
Im really tempted on getting the real LP, but have to read reviews first

Sounds like you've already made up your mind, but think of it this way....how much do you care about your phone? If t breaking isn't a big deal and you're not worried, don't bother with the real version. If you actually want to keep your phone protected and plan on keeping it a while then I'd get the real one. I have no plans on upgrading to a new phone for at least another year if not longer so for me it's worth it to pay for a good case.
