Okay, so I'm wondering if this exists: a book style case for the Galaxy Tab that doesn't add a lot of bulk, but does fold over to allow it to be used as a stand.
I have a GTab 10.1 LTE, and a XOOM 4G, and I'm trying to decide which to keep. I prefer the size and weight of the Galaxy Tab, but the XOOM came with a really great case that doubles as a stand. The Galaxy Tab came with something similar, but it's so thick and sloppy that I might as well be carrying the XOOM for all the weight savings I actually get. Is there anything equivalent for the Galaxy Tab that doesn't make it chunky?

Fits the LTE model, is pretty slim, and makes a nice stand.
Yeha, go for the official one. A wonderful case - Adds almost no bulk, fits perfectly and its very high quality. I love mine, and it was worth every cent.
I use the same one , but

I'm using the same original case from Samsung, my tab is white and here comes the problem. The internal lining for the case causes black color on the back of my tab which is very hard to remove. I use my original perfume with high quality cloth and pushes very hard to remove this coloration from the stupid case.

I use this case, its some fake leathery material, holds the tab very nice and tight, everything fits perfectly, and its pretty slim for the material its is
Closes with a magnet, which is unfindable on the cover xD
and it can be used as a stand, very nice. and cheap!

+1 on this case. Best one on the market. Its a generic branded by several sellers, so you might search to find it a bit cheaper.
I'm using a "smart cover" style case. not really versatile or transformable, but i do like the one posted above. looks like a great stand for desk/table use. i might have to order that

That's nice. Does anyone have it?
friend has one , you have to tape the back to the cover...not a very good one
This is the one I use.. very nice and easy to take on and off but at the same time very durable. Great price too.

Are there any Smart-cover type cases for the Note 10.1?
Basically I'm looking for a similar case that only covers the front of the tablet and not the rear. I like how it keeps the original profile/feel of the tablet and my fingers don't touch the screen every time I pick it up.
Hi! The Tab S2 is very thin and light, so it is a pity to loose those features with a big and heavy case.. I tried to find something like the Apple cover, but no success till now! any advise?!

There are many available on the market, but it also includes a back protection, you can also consider the official Samsung book cover.
Screen protector. That's all my S2 is going to wear!
I'm enjoying how light this tablet is and it's replaced my Microsoft surface 3 for daily use

The official Samsung book cover, whilst covering back, is still super thin. Is actually still thinner than an iPad air with its cover as above.

The cover sold as Samsung cover is just perfect, if you are looking to keep it thin.

AliExpress has several covers that are packaged just like Samsung Book covers in more colors. I ordered 2 and they seem like the Samsung originals. The snaps fit well. They are 14.30, with free China Post shipping.

Fake and over priced, they only cost about USD 3 each.
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab-accessories/EJ-FT810UBEGUJ Best cover for Tab S2 I think
This is the case I have for mine. Quite thin and light. Has a nice smooth, soft touch feel too

I think the perfect cover was the Samsung Simple Cover which was released for the older Tab S - I can't post links yet so you'll have to Google it
It just clipped onto the notches at the back and protected the screen without adding bulk (I'm not worried about the back. It's the screen I want to protect when the tablet is in my bag etc). I'm hoping to get something like that for my Tab S2 when/if it becomes available
Samsung Tab S2 is amazing tablets with great features. Yes, Its very thin and light weight. The camera and sound are really amazing.
I have been looking for this type of cover (front only like the ipad or tab S) for a while too, no luck. Please post a link if you know of something similar.

The ones I got for my original Tab S were crap. The case itself felt like thin cheap cardboard and the one button kept coming undone. The only redeeming quality was the magnet was stronger. The magnet in the samsung one was beyond weak and never held up to any sort of gaming or movement and kept flattening out.
I ended up picking up the book case with the plastic snap in back. Adds a touch of thickness, but the magnet is stronger, the case feels more premium than the china two button ones, and it does provide more protection. Here it is.
But honestly, the book type covers are much more stable and solid when in the different stand modes than the ones where lid folds over itself into a triangle. But I guess it's more about what's important to you.
The roocase origami is the most beautiful and thinnest cases you can find

How is it thinner with a shell than the simple covers that utilize the snap in buttons? Seems like kind of a wash.

Hi Folks, before, i allways bought third-party covers for my tabs.......at the Tab S2 (SM-T815 LTE), i tried different ones, but they are all much too heavy, so i don`t want to make a ultra light weight Tabelet to a heavy duty one.........And, I´m also using a bluetooth keyboard most of time, if i had to wrote longer EMails and other things......so, this time i got the original samsung one :
http://www.samsung.com/at/consumer/mobile-devices/accessories/input/EJ-FT810MBEGDE
And, it`s really perfect!!! With the keyboard within, it`s a bit heavy, ok, but it`s ok for a complete device, with external keys. But! You can put the magnetic holded keyboard out to use it complete seperately (By the way with two different devices). And the cover only is very tight and light weight. So, the tab is covered, you have three possibilities to make it as a stand by the magnetic holders, and, the tab`s display goes out if you close the cover.
The keys are amazing! You have specialized Android keys, a mouse pad, and it works just perfect !!!!! And you can handle the keyboard complete seperatly, that`s what i really like............
BTW : I also bought the docking station , with 2 USB Ports, charging input, HDMI out and LAN connector.....this is awesome !!!! And, this is not connected like the other docking stations by putting the device directly on a micro usb pin! It have a short cable, so you can choose the direction for the tab by yourself..........and it works perfect also. LAN connection in office or at home is great, very fast. And you can keep all beeing connected, just put the tab in the stand, connect the cable and all is running. At the beginning, i have some Problems with apps like Chrome, they only accept a 3/4G or Wifi connection, but there is a app in playstore calles "true ethernet" that is simulating a 4G Connection for LAN, this app runs in the background, so you just have to install it...thats all, and you can use all apps with a ethernet connection also......think you need root for this app........
The Samsung keyboard cover is a bit more expensive than the other ones, but not so much, but if you try it, you will see, it`s really better to spend this more money, so you have a device and cover, that fits 100 percent for your device.....
Does such a thing exist? If so I can't find it... I want to get an SM-T719 to replace my TabS SM-T705 as my primary device but can't seem to find the keyboard cover. I've been using my TabS with a non-book Samsung keyboard for a couple of years now, and when the Tab S2 originally came out all that seemed to exist was the book keyboard case. I see now that a non-book keyboard exists for the larger 9.7 S2, but can't find one for the 8.0. The 9.7 is a bit big to carry around all the time, and lacks the earpiece so would be speakerphone/headset only for me.
I was after one also but it doesn't seem to exist. Went with a foldable bluetooth keyboard instead.
How about this ?:
https://www.amazon.com/Fintie-Blade-Samsung-Galaxy-Keyboard/dp/B013XXLYV4
If i were to get a keyboard, i would probably opt for a folding bluetooth one which i can carry separately if necessary and also use it with other devices. Dedicated keyboards become obsolete when the device is obsolete. This would also keep the S2 thin and light

Agree on separate keyboard for the same reasons. I have a Microsoft Universal Foldable Keyboard that is ultrathin and works great with my Tab S2 8.0 and my iPad Air 2. I have a keyboard case similar to the Finite case you linked to for my Air 2 but never use it due to the extra size & weight it adds plus that it's not comfortable to use when folded back open for handheld tablet use.
Sparksd, I also found the cover flap on the Fintie to be a bit cumbersome. I am now using a cheap TPU case from eBay (China). I had orginally ordered the case first but it took more than a month to deliver. The Fintie was purchased on Amazon Prime and was delivered within a few days. The Fintie is good if you need to stand it up. I prefer the simplicity and thinness of the TPU case. That is what i have been used to with my old Tabu plus. It gives me some shock/drop/fingerprint (back) protection and better grip without any bulk. This time, I did not even bother with a screen protector. I carry the S2 24/7 in my shoulder bag. So far no scratches.

I haven't been able to find an origami style case for the Tab S3. Any suggestions?
There are some apps I use that work best in portrait mode, and it be nice to have a case that can set the Tab S3 up in the vertical orientation. Surely it can't be that hard to make an origami style case, but I haven't been able to find one. I tried the Fintie rotating case, and found it too bulky, the tablet was prone to tipping over in the portrait mode, and it just wasn't too user friendly.
Alternatively, would an iPad origami style case fit the S3? They're similar in size, has anyone tried one?
iPad case won’t work. The iPad has magnets in certain places for the case to attach.

I’ve had it for close to a year with no problems. I like that it covers the stupid glass back of the Tab S3 (I’m mystified why there’s not polycarbonate tablets anymore, but whatever).

The tablet itself is full of magnets, they have no effect on the pen whatsoever beyond providing a convenient place to put it when not in use.

Unfortunatly wrong. I reordered the case and when the flap is folded against the back it creates dead spots for the s pen.
