I'm not a fan of a case that has a "sleeve" to hold my cables...those are lost cables waiting to happen.
This one looks promising: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002N7QWMI/ref=ord_cart_shr?ie=UTF8&m=A174CY8CR6S3G5
The dimensions seem perfect for the Archos 101. Its a harder shell case for better protection and the front pocket zips shut for the cables and crap.
Micro Center Case
I like the one you posted. I prefer the Soft case. I'm not sure why you think the cables would get lost. he case I got also has a zipper on the front pocket. My cables are fine. he Neoprene also stretches well so if you have to stuff more in that pocket.

nice case been looking for a case

Great for a girl... It's a shiny and girly bag if you ask me, but I really like the hard case.
I'm looking for a case that will support the tab (folio style or the like) yet have the cut out or designed in a way to have access to the headphone jack and dock port.
I would really like to load movies onto a SD card and watch them via the USB host adapter. However, I will be doing this mostly in places that will need headphones. Also will need a case that supports the tab so I don't have to hold it. (Thanks Samsung, for this little inconvenience)
Anyone see anything that will make this possible?
I would like this as well. Most cases give headphone access but that port connector location kinda sucks. We almost need a case with a build in port connector that has a wire oud the side....perhaps detachable.
Ya.. I've been looking at cases for an hour and now resorted to looking on ebay.
That dock connector is seriously in a bad spot.
I could really care less about the case, but I care greatly about not having to hold the darn thing up with my hand while I'm using it. This includes while watching movies or showing someone pictures I just took.
Trying to add a support solution without adding the case would be an option...
I have the ACase Folio, which I am very happy with. When I want to use the Tab with something plugged into the dock connector, I fold the ACase cover all the way back and stand the Tab on the Rabbit Portable Stand and Holder, $10 on ebay, shipped, at http://cgi.ebay.com/Rabbit-Portable-Stand-and-Holder-iPad-Galaxy-Tablet-PC-/220772954466
The stand is just wide enough to accomodate the USB adapter (as well as the USB cable). Works great for me.
Thanks, I've seen the rabbit stand and it's the best stand of that type IMO. However it's just one more thing to carry. Add that to a bumpy plane ride and I'm still looking for a case that does it.
I just got the Belkin slim from Best Buyer, and it's going back.

The Rabbit Stand comes in two pieces, that you interlock to use (see first picture attached). When not using, one of the pieces fits flat into the other, and the two pieces fit flat into a seal-able baggie that comes with the stand (see second picture). Would take up minimal space in your carry on for traveling.
For bumpy plane rides, you could use velcro to attach the stand to the Tab or a Tab case.
(I have no connection to the Rabbit Stand or the ebay seller. It just happens to be the only good solution I have found to using the Tab in landscape mode with the USB adapter plugged in, and a good one at that.)
Oh yea baby ill give you full access. That what she said she really did.

Hey guys, I HIGHLY recommend this one from Amazon:
rooCASE Multi-Angle (Black) Leather Folio Case Cover for Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1 Wi-Fi
I cant link to it yet, since this is my first post!!
I got it from Amazon last week after using the Belkin one for a few days. It's $43. but it's really worth the investment!!
The pouch is detachable from the Case itself so that it can stand portrait position AND landscape position. It attaches to the case by two large Velcro circles.
You can flip it around so that the charger faces out and the case closes while charging. Or you can leave it with the port on the bottom and move the Tab up (in landscape position) and the cord runs along the inside spine of the case while it charges.
Check out the specs and more details at Amazon.com
Executive Portfolio Leather Cover for Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 GT-P7510
Built-In Stand for Comfortable Viewing at 45 Degree Angle. Detachable Inner Sleeve for Handheld Operation;
Business and ID Slots with Accessory Flap. Elastic Loop for Pen or Stylus. Dual Zipper for Easy Access.
Access to All Ports and Controls.
A MUST Have for all GALAXY Tab 10.1 Owners!! Available in Black, Magenta and Red. Search: rooCASE Galaxy Tab 10.1 Executive Portfolio
Reattaches by Velcro for Landscape / Portrait Viewing. (Galaxy Tab NOT Included)
(NOT Compatible with Galaxy Tab 7, 8.9 and 10.1v P7100 European Edition)
If you are concerned about thinness and slimness, this isnt for you. This REALLY makes you look like an Executive!!
I saw this. It's just too thick for my liking.
I could have dealt with it, but the fact that you're always going to have a keyboard sized front cover in front of the TAB was a deal killer.
At first, I thought about that, but then I quickly realized that I wasn't. I guess the Tab distracted me too much I can't ignore the extra protection & stability it provides though. My stylus doesn't roll too far either and is easy to find on my desk which is also black (and the lights are dimmed for a little "Table-
Hopefully someone will develop one for those users who prefer a slimmer form factor which has the functionality & accessibility of this one. The port cant be moved so they should definitely take a closer look when designing them. If they put it on the other side, then it would be waaayy to similar to that "other" device, which shall remain nameless.

RooCase is AWESOME from Amazon! so many different ways to set it up its impossible to not have your desired configuration. Unless like someone else said you bought this tab for the sole fact of it being thinner than the thing that soaks up my woman's monthly friend. Just goes to show you that Apple will suck you dry!
I use an OtterBox commuter case and it is awesome. The case is larger and heavier, but also stays on the phone properly unlike all lighter ones I have tried.
My only issue is there us no freaking way that it will fit in the genuine samsung vehicle dock.
Currently I'm gathering pieces to fabricate my own dock that uses the genuine suction cup arm. You would need the samsung kit plus my dock, or will have an extension so it will stay standing upright on a desk, all while using the case. I'm thinking any smaller case could also use it with the addition of stick-on rubber spacers to make it fit snug.
I figure there may be a small market for it, prototype will like be made from aluminium on a cnc, but would wear out the case going in/out so will use a plastic injection moulder once finalised. May cnc plastic initially if can get my hands on a block.
So far the plan is for a dock that it slides into, like the samsung desk dock, but with the fittings to attach to vehicle kit arm.
Thoughts/comments? Foreseeable demand?
Pricing I anticipate to be roughly half to cost if the genuine vehicle dock.. So by the time you buy both it adds up. I think would be worth it, and would buy one myself if available.
At least, so far have found nothing similar...

I had a similar problem for a different reason, my SGS2 has no case but is quite fat due to the Momax 2700 mAh battery I use.
I ordered an "EXOMOUNT exogear" car holder as it has some sort of claw-lock mechanism that appears to work well with really fat phones. I have not received it yet so can't comment. 25€ on ebay.
It has no lighter-charger, but you can get one of those for peanuts.
Your plan sounds pretty interesting tho, nothing like a well-built custom product.
Exogear's Exomount
Yes I can vouch for Exogears' Exomount.
I've had it for 3 months on my S2 with CaseMate Pop, and works like a charm.
Exomount has a large jaw and can clip just about any smartphone bordering the size of a tablet.
It sticks awesomely on the dashboard. It will stick on any surface, including glass/windshield, but I prefer it on the dash.
If you don't believe me, look at the youtube video demonstration.
Yeah I looked at various mounts, my main motivation is I want it to charge at the same time, and want the charging part built into the dock so I don't have to dock and then plug in a loose cable. Docked and charging in one motion.
Hopefully will get time to draw it up in 3D tonight.

I'm very interested in this project. I'll keep an eye in this thread!
Have started the design. Hopefully will order the MicroUSB for the base this afternoon to measure up that part.
Guys
This may save you some time......

You can use it with standard RAM Mount fittings (which come in a wide range of different types and sizes).

Have fun
Thanks, had a surge of laziness when I saw that haha
I think I'll build mine as a personal project then instead of as a possible commercial project - though mine will have charging built into the dock Will keep posted.
Hi, I saw the other keyboard thread but couldn't find what I was looking for.
I have a horrible back and I need to keep my back lightweight. So, I need a portable, compact, keyboard for note 10.1 Next year I will be commuting to college for 2 hours (there and back) every single day.
I was thinking http://www.amazon.com/MiniSuit-Keybo...+10.1+keyboard
But reviews arent good. I like it cause it can go directly over the screen and it will be compact in backpack. Next semester i will be commuting for a hour everyday, so I need good one.
I also saw the logitech keyboard, but I went to the store to look at it and it seems thick and heavy. It would be thicker then netbook...
I use to have a netbook and I don't want a keyboard to be thicker then my netbook, with tablet combined. The reason I got a tablet was due to lightweight portability, so it would be pointless if its thicker. Thanks.

You should take a look at Zagg Flex. I just got it yesterday, and am quite satisfied with it.
Really, I mean, really light and compact.

I am also a commuter student with back problems. I just got the Zagg Flex a week ago, and I love it! The Logitech with it's AA batteries and thick cover was too heavy and bulky for me, but the Zagg is just right. My kitchen scale says it's just shy of 11 ounces including the cover and charger cable (micro USB). It's about 6 ounces without the cover, but I really like the stand functionality, so I carry the cover too.
I purchased it so I can use my Note as my primary computer while I'm studying abroad in Spain this summer. Portability and weight were two huge factors. I also wanted a decent chiclet keyboard and not one of the weird silicon ones. I love the key layout of this one. I tried 6 other keyboards/keyboard cases before settling on this one.
It feels pretty thin to me. The keyboard is .75 inches with the stand/cover or .65 inches without it. For comparison, the Note is .35 inches thick with no cover. The two together would most likely be thin enough to go in a standard netbook neoprene sleeve especially if you took off the cover. It is also thin enough to fit in the back pocket of my jeans (not that you would, but there's an image of a model doing this on the box, so I had to try it.
The Minisuit keyboard case is .43 inches by itself and .66 inches when attached to the note, so the Flex would be a bit thicker, but the Minisuit weighs in at 12.3 ounces.
The only downside to the Flex is that it's separate from the stand, so it's not as convenient to use in your lap on the train like the keyboard cover is. You have to either do a balancing act with a textbook on your lap, or put it flat on your lap or the seat beside you and type from afar. I'm still trying to find a good cover to pair with it that would double as a base for the keyboard when I want to use it in my lap.

I hope you don't buy it from there, Amazon has it for half the price(http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Bluetooth-Keyboard-Aluminum-Samsung/dp/B009SKVICM/ref=pd_cp_pc_3). I just ordered a Note 10.1 from yesterday's Woot deal so I'm looking for accessories, keyboard/case combo ideally. The only gripe I had seen about this one is that the space bar comes into contact with the screen when it's closed and in some cases wore a line into the screen. That's a little scary. I wonder if you could put some additional rubber feet on the palm rests to prevent this. Anyone on this forum used the above keyboard and have any feedback?

I'm looking for some kind of tote/micro laptop bag for the N7 in which the clunky wall charger can fit. There are plenty of slim form fitting sleeves with handles, but I haven't seen one with a gusseted exterior pocket. I have seen some pictured with just the usb cord emerging from a slim pocket, but it's obvious the chunky cube won't fit. I don't want a large bag where the Nexus would slosh around a lot. Ideally the bag would fit the N7 in a slim protective case, the big charger, and maybe another small item or two. I may have to rev up my sewing machine. Any ideas?
