This looks really good, has anyone gotten one?

Looks promising, I just don't like the part you slip the Tab into. I hate the way the Tab looks in cases like that. I much prefer the case holding the Tab in place at the four corners or like a true smart case like Apples.

Cool, thanks. Well, I'm gonna bite the bullet on that and give it a try. Only $19 anyway, no huge loss if it sucks.
I hope it's good!! I want a case like this!
There is a rather unflattering review of that amazon sold smart cove in the long cases review thread:

Well, so much for that. Love the concept though. I would spend more than $20 on a working one.
Review really sucks
hi, here:

After three days of using it, do not buy, the material stretch so bad i can't reach the volume or power control, can't plug the power with the case close. But mostly is a price of cap, don,t waste your 20 bucks.
My humble opinion

Since when does a ziploc bag constitute as a waterproof case?!
I just ordered one of these http://www.dealextreme.com/p/protec...-cleaning-cloth-for-samsung-p7510-black-82402

I love the wake-up/sleep function but I'm a bit skeptical that it has that. When you get it, can you confirm this? Thanks. If it does, I might get one myself.

yeah, i can't imagine that it has the wake up and sleep option, and if it does, why on earth don't other covers take advantage of this feature...
some of the pictures make the case look a bit vinyl like which I would not like, i'd gladly pay double for a higher quality.....if only....

I love this part of the description: "100% brand new,high quality Man-made leather". That is one cool way to say imitation!
anyone have this yet? real curious about the sleep wake functionality.
Quite honestly I have to wonder how hard it is to tap the power button when people want to use the Tab?

it's not hard, but
a) on some cases its on the bottom if you open it a certain way
b) if you can avoid pressing buttons, you can avoid wear and tear on them, I know many people have problems on many different smart phones with the power button wearing out...
Regarding the fact that the button is on the bottom on some cases, what does that have to do with this case if the button isn't on the bottom? Just wondering?
What is everybody talking about? There is no sleep/wake on the Tab

Of course there is. If you check the dealextreme website, a highly reputable distributor of Chinese manufactured stuff, you will see that the product information clearly states that it has the sleep/wake function... Although, come to think of it, I'm guessing most cases come with the ability to operate when you are both awake or asleep... Hmm...
My fat fingers are becoming a problem with this touchscreen and I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for a decent stylus? Do they exist?

I have a pogo stylus and a Griffen stylus.. Both are very good after trying them on my Galaxy nexus.... The Griffen is a little heavier which makes it easier to click buttons on the screen. The pogo is a little fragile and the tip will ware down after a lot of use compared to the Griffen which is made of a rubber tip which won't go bad... So I woud say to buy a Griffen.. Do not buy a cheap one from China or a no name brand because those are complete garbage and won't work well..
Anyone advertised for iPhone or iPad use will work. As always, check amazon first for good pricing and reliability

Here it is guys, the review I done for this case. Absolutely in love with it.
I thought I'd share this with everyone as if you look online there really are no wallet cases in the world like this to have the sleep wake function.
If you want more information about this case reply to this thread and I'll try to best answer your questions.
Hope you like the review and the case as much as I do!
Whoever this sonivo crowd are, they smashed it with this case :good:

Everything looks great. I keep wanting a case like this but taking pictures seems to be a pain. How easy is it to take the phone in and out of the case?

Does the magnet interfere with the phone in any way? Maybe the compass or any other sensors?
[Edit] also, is the phone held snugly in the case or does it seem like I could come out with just a bit of flexing?

It's fairly easy to get the phone in and out. If you insert the case one side at a time its really easy. I normally insert the phone in from the left side then once that's in, clip the right side it. Getting it out is the same thing just in reverse. The support on the case is tough but does have a bit of allowance to allow the phone to come out.

Been using it for a few days now and haven't had any problems with it.
No movement from the phone once it's in the case. It's a hard case support thats made especially for the Nexus 5 so once the phone is in won't be going anywhere.
Hope that answers your questions.
One other question: does qi charging work with this case or is it too thick?

Seconded. This looks like the best case with an autowake cover. But it's also the only one that's not available in North America
I was curious about this wake n sleep function and played with a magnet on the phone, the sensor seems to be on the top left corner of the screen. Might glue a thin magnet into the cheapish pink wallet case my gf got for her N5 to ad this feature :good:
Where can or will Americans be able to purchase this? This case seems to be the best option and I only use wallet cases.

I contacted Sonivo and got a reply saying they are planning to sell in the US, but due to high demand, they don't yet have the inventory for it. No time frame yet.

I have one that's similar:
http://www.amazon.com/SUPCASE-Googl...=UTF8&qid=1384880507&sr=8-13&keywords=supcase
The only issues are (1) doesn't work with a car mount as is a frequent case problem and (2) the phone seems to get hotter with a wireless charger than the phone gets without the case on.
I'm assuming if you have this case, you have your phone in your jacket pocket.
I'm also a bit worried about the magnet for the flap, wouldn't it demagnetize your cards?

I've not had any problems with the case demagnetising my cards, I really only keep my one credit card in there which I use on a daily basis and thats worked fine since I've been using this case.

I just over nighted the official flip case from Google and im very happy with it, It has the smart screen magnet feature as well.

Hi Guys,
I really like the concept of S view or Quick Circle i have seen one or two such cases on the interwebs and wondered, does OPO has the hardware to support such kind of cases?:silly:
The idea behind the s view case is that the amoled screen on Samsung devices save power by using less of the screen since an amoled screen only draws as much power as is on the screen. LG use an LCD panel like the OnePlus and have copied the idea with their circle cut out, for what ever reason I don't know, it doesn't save power. The key requirement is a hall sensor, a magnetic switch that tells the phone when the flip cover is closed. The oneplus does not have a hall sensor.

I think i saw a video of the opo where the flip case made the screen to turn on. So i guess it has the hall sensor...

I've read on the Opo forum that cases like the above don't work for international Opo. It seems to be designed for the Color OS rom. I'm holding off from getting the Nillkin Sparkle case because I'm not sure if it would work properly.

If I place a magnet 2/3 down the rhs of the phone's edge, my phone will turn off. I am sure that something can be done with this so that we can all profit from a QuickWindow Case. eg. Nillkin

Mine behave the same, I think there must be a hal sensor.
I think cm11 has introduced hal sensor drivers because cm11 on my s4mini the sensor works
For those with the Samsung (expensive) cover, could you feedback on:
1. is the magnetic attachment of the tablet to the cover sufficient so there is little chance of the tablet falling out
2. is it possible to place the tablet at an angle to make note taking with the S Pen comfortable, for example if you had a an hour meeting or lecture
thanks in advance

For #1, yes it holds quite well.
I don't really take notes, so I can't answer #2.

For #1.... In my opinion there is much more than a little chance... I have had problems twice since I have it.... (2 days....).
I am buying and using Samsung tablets since many years... And I think this is the worse cover I have ever seen... Very ugly with those bars.... And very insecure.... Book cover from s2 was much better and nicer....
So sad with it....

I have the magnetic book-cover and have not had any issues or close-calls with the cover losing its magnetic connection - even when I deliberately pick it up by the front-flap.
I now have the light green book cover. Yes good quality and the magnet is adequate to hold the tablet safely in place. £42 from Amazon UK so still not cheap. Black version is £33 from Amazon.

Samsung original Folio Case, Keyboard Case and S Pen are now on sale at Best Buy USA
Keyboard case is very inefficient. As a normal cover it is too bulky. The attachment of the S-pen is a joke.
I got it for free, but I am quite sure I have to buy a special book cover. Like the one I had on the S2
TheS2 cover fits but does not switch on or off. Is there a solution for that?
HUib
the keyboard cover has been chucked in a cupboard. I'm still looking for a decent case.
Also £599 - tablet is not worth it imho.
Hello, I purchased the green Samsung cover and have no issues. The magnetic connection is strong enough to keep the tablet still, but not too strong to interfere with spen use...
Very satisfied.

Thanks. I’ve now have the standard book cover and keyboard. Writing with the tablet flat on the surface is not as bad as i expected.
