The only thing I got for mine is a TPU case and with a small scissors, I cut out the button cover over the power button. Im happy with it all.. and oh yes.. a Zagg screen protector.

The only two things I bought for mine was the Moko thin case, clear screen protector and an OTG cable for USB.
As far as apps, its personal preference, but I think Titanium Backup is a must have.

Replacements only come in black so if you have a white Note you're kind of screwed.

Here is a link on the Best Buy S Pen if you don't mind it being black... http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Samsung...d=6329995&st=galaxy note 10.1 s pen&cp=1&lp=1
The ones from http://www.shopblt.com/cgi-bin/shop...100200500150_BPV1743P.shtml&order_id=!ORDERID do list having some of the extra tips and I do not see that when looking at the Best Buy page. I'm thinking about ordering this as I would hate to be without for 7-10 days if I lost mine!

White ones are plasticy and slick. Black ones are rubbery and grippy.

Use the white nips if you have screen protector (it scratches the screen ) but the rubber nips are safe without screen protector

Finally received my case for my Note 10.1 :)

Hey everyone, so I finally received a case that I ordered (from DX.com) for my Note 10.1. It took about 2 weeks to get it and that's actually faster than I expected. So yea, I don't really like buying cases for like $30+, so I just searched on DX and found 2 cases that looked decent (to me). Came out to $21, I believe. Anyways, here are some pictures of one of them!
http://imgur.com/a/KTnqz#0
Like I said, I got another case, but it's just a soft TPU case. There's nothing really special about it
Here are the links to the cases I got if anyone is interested:
Protective PC + Fiber Case for Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 N8000 - Black

Is it a good case? Also, is it slim? I'm using the Poetic right now, but it's kind of.. bulky. I like it somewhat, but now I can't see how pretty my white Samsung is.. :/

Yea, it seems pretty good so far. However, I didn't get it for amazing protection, I got it for minor protection to protect it from scratches and stuff when I put it in my book bag.

Yep, it's very slim. I'll take some pictures of its profile tomorrow and upload them.
Well, it deemed pretty difficult taking pictures with the lighting that I had, so I decided to whip out the good ol' ruler. So the Note 10.1 itself seems to be about 0.9cm. With the case and the cover covering the screen, it's about 1.3cm. Without the cover covering the case, it's about 1.1cm. So yea, all in all, it adds a little less than 0.5cm.
This case looks nice and clean but one big question. Do the cover stay close? and if it does by what means. By looking at the photos it seems that it doesn't stay close and it just flaps over.

I got this one and I really like it. It folds back well so it fits in the charger stand I got. I think it's very similar to yours.

So far, I haven't had any issues. From what I've heard, the official Samsung case for the Note 10.1 uses magnets as well, so I don't think they'd use magnets if there were serious negative effects.
I like the look of this one. can you please confirm if there have been any issues with or affects from the magnets?
anyone others tried this case?

I ordered one of these and it just arrived today. For $14 it's ok. I don't know what it's made out of but it kind of stinks, hopefully that goes away. For $14 it's an ok case. It's not as nice as the Moko case I had for my Nexus 7 though, which was only about $10 more. Anyway, thanks to the OP for brining the case to my attention, it will server me well for now.

Best case right now for our phones

Hello Guys, I recently bought the OG PRO and I am extremely satisfied with almost everything, but mostly with the battery life!
However I noticed that not so many cases are available for the phone yet. BUT this Case Mate case is simply excellent in terms of safety, grabing the phone without fearing that it will slip down and the BEST feature is that no direct touch whith the screen if the phone is upside down AND no direct touch with the camera when the phone is in normal position.
THANKS!
PICS BELOW
Any questions dont hesitate to ask me:highfive:
I made the mistake of getting the incipio feather case. My phone smacked against something in my pants and cracked the front edge where the feather case doesn't protect. Luckily it's tiny and only a $45 replacement in the future.
I ordered this tough case as soon as it happened. Can't wait for it to get here in a couple days.

hmm actually it adds a little bit of bulk, HOWEVER you get used to it but you have a lot of protection. On second thought the phone feels also more safe and robust.
I have this case and it actually doesn't add alot of bulk. Its still thinner with the case on than my buddies Nokia windows phone without a case. I agree that it makes it feel more sturdy as well.

I have the case as well, and you'd be surprised that it doesn't add much bulk at all, which is amazing considering how sturdy it is. I've dropped my phone numerous times with the case, and the case doesn't have a scratch, plus I can lay it on it's without worrying about the camera lens scratching on the table
I have tried several cases and in my opinion one of the best that I have personally used is the Incipio Dual Pro...
Love the case good feel well made and doesn't add a lot of bulk. I've had a couple drops with this case and it preformed great.

hello esimon,
1. base on your "Couple drop" experience, does your Incipio Dual Pro prevent "hairline cracks" of the touch screen ?
2. Is the power button hard to press on the Incipio Dual Pro case ?
Note: Anyone can answer/reply to my two questions if you have this kind of case.
Nice case mine is really bulky compared to this
Here's what I am using. I am very happy with it and have received compliments on it as well.

I preordered this back in August and finally got it from the mail this week, the build quality of the case is OK, except there's a problem with its magnets. At certain standing positions, the magnets would interfere with the smart cover receptor and shut off the screen when I don't want it to do so. I contacted the seller and got a replacement today, which does the same thing as the original product. Well....for $5, can't complain much.
It looks nice and I don't use the stand much and been looking for a soft touch case. Does it ad a lot of bulk like some of the people complain about?

I have both Poetic and this Roocase.
The Roocase's front cover is thinner --> flimsy.
Roocase still has a magnet issue --> turns off tablet when folded back.
I think you should spend a few more $$ for the Poetic.
I have the poetic right now and hate it since it feels so cheap from the fake leather material they used. Really prefer the soft touch. Just ordered it will let you know how I like it lol.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4
I just received mine yesterday. Overall, the case feels extremely nice - especially the softback material. The cover is thin, but that's okay for me since it does not add bulk and it allows the cover to fold in many ways.
I've only noticed the magnets activate standby on the tablet when it is in one certain position (not folded behind). It's not something I am worried about because there's no reason for me to orient the tablet in such way.
It's an extremely thin case that's definitely worth $5 if you do not get one that has the magnet issues.
I have the LTE model.
I spent half an hour with a dremel tool to modify it to permit changing the SIM card without removing the tablet from the RooCase.
I am generally pleased with it, but I think the corner protection is substandard.
The corner protection does not go all the way up to the top of the tablet.
Regards
I figure as long as it sticks out more than the tablet around the edge it's nothing to worry about on a flat surface. And as was said the thin cover wouldn't be a problem since it doesn't add bulk and if your not too rough with it it won't be a problem lol. One question though is the magnet right on the edge of the cover? Amazon pics weren't great

Well just got mine today and the difference is night and day. This feels so much more premium its not even funny and yeah magnit can be an issue but not a big deal I'll just throw some aluminum foil between the case and device. It doesn't creak or squeel and it doesn't feel cheaper than dirt. Love this case

if you have issues with the magnets in the case turning your screen on and off in various positions, you can disable the magnet wake feature using Elemental kernel (assuming your rooted) or you can contact the seller and they will send you a free replacement ( supposedly tested by them to be working properly) I got my replacement a few days ago but I guess I've been to lazy to reflash the kernel and select the magnet wake option to ON and verify
I don't really have issues with it since I don't use the stand much. Fantastic case though

I have this case, don't recommend
I purchased this case when I had my Nexus 7 on order, It took three weeks to arrive. In the meantime I got the Poetic Slimline also. After receiving the rooCase, I immediately noticed the poor fit and rough edges on the case. I also noticed the same issues with the magnets as some of the other people. Bottom line I would not recommend this case at all as it does not work well and is of poor quality.
Try ands see if you can't get a replacement mine was fantastic and fits better than the poetic case.

Dang, that's really an extreme solution. People shouldn't have to mod their kernels just to adapt to a poorly designed accessory.
Its not really an issue since it doesn't stand like the regulate cases since its the oragami and works just fine like that.

Magnets on cases

Really confused about this one. Ive read alot that the magnets on some cases a causing touch screen issues. Is there any truth to this? I just ordered a Poetic Slimline for my tab 3 and now im concerned. Didnt pa y much for it so no big deal if I don't use it. I see the Samsung oem case also has magnets. What should I do? Thanks !!

I am no expert but the magnet cases dont affect my devices at all..... All I can think of is that on my old pc monitors if you put a magnet near the screen it would go all rainbowy lol. But magnet cases are used verrrrrry often like on some galaxies and ipads, the magnet in the case usually unlocks the phone when you open the lid of the case. I :fingers-crossed:shouldnt think you need to worry lol

Your average, everyday magnet is not going to cause trouble. As mentioned plenty of cases use them.
Where you will have issues is the larger, more powerful magnets. I work with some really powerful ones that will most assuredly cause you issues.

Magnets DO affect touchscreens. I had a magnetic closure case on my Note N7000 and found a dead spot on the screen that wouldn't register the S Pen. I cut the magnet out but the problem remained.
I bought a Note 3 recently and bought a magnetic closure case as they we're the only ones with the wallet/stand style that I like. The magnet was only near the screen for a few seconds whilst I got my knife to cut it out. I thought that it would be fine. It isn't! I have another touch screen S Pen dead spot.
I don't know if it will have any effect on phones without an S Pen, I just thought I'd pass on the warning.
