Looking for some help. I've looked in many many places but haven't found a cover like the magnetic cover iPad users have. Is there such a cover for the Note 10.1? Looking for the thinnest cover I can find.

The thinnest cover will still be thicker than the iPad because we don't have the magnetic hinge that would allow only the front cover..
The Samsung cover is remarkably thin, but doesn't stay closed.
There are several trifold covers that have a back that then clips onto the corners of the table with a cut out for the pen., several ship from Hong Kong. Some on eBay, some on Amazon.com the stock is constantly changing.
I ended up getting one that is advertised ads unless thin by mistake. It uses an adhesive to stick to the back of the pad. I really DON'T like that. It also makes removing the pen difficult. Plus it doesn't have a slot to charge the tab without opening the cover. I had to cut one.
It has a fold over flap so that it doesn't open accidentally, but the cover is very floppy. I've only been using it a few weeks, but it just doesn't feel that solid.
In the end I'll probably go with a knockoff Samsung if I can find one that stays closed.

Agree with the above...the thinnest and sexiest is probably the Samsung magnetic book cover. I wasn't fond of it at first, but I've been using it over my i-Blason lately (which is also very nice but is no where near as thin). Lack of magnet to hold cover closed is really not an issue for me. If I am holding it it stays shut.

Guess I'll go for the Samsung cover .. hope it stays closed.
If you're going to buy a magnetic cover you should get the samsung one. Most other ones will probably cause problems with your wacom digitizer if the magnets get too close while you're using it.
I bought the Samsung white cover for £31 on Amazon, it just finishes the look of my tablet, love it. Jim
Samsung white cover with magnets works for me, I think that it can't have a magnetic closer option because it would interfere with the Wacom digitizer.

That may be, but just one more thin flap around the back would solve that. Some of the knock offs have just that.

I actually hate that flap.
Maybe a static cling strip would do well, I should play with it to see.

I can understand that. I have one that folds as part of the tri fold stand so much of time I don't know its there.
Static cling would be great. Keep us posted.

Which one you have? They look interesting. Not sure how some of them on their site hold onto the tablet...

I have also ordered one online. The "vip" model. I am expecting it to arrive tomorrow together with the GNote 10.1. I will post pictures with the Note with the case on and off so you can evalutate if this one is ok for you or not
My Note should arrive tomorrow and i'll pretty soon get a cover for it. I really dislike Samsungs build quality, i could scratch the whole back of it in one day i guess .. Like many did with the S3. My Motorola razr i doesn't even show a scratch even if it has been dropped by my girlfriend once and i don't handle it too careful.
I think i'll go with the Samsung Diary cover. I don't want my tablet to be bulky just because the manufacturer can't use proper materials and i'm too afraid of scratching it. But the fact that it won't stay closed is a major drawback, seems like i won't get the allround case i need. I think i'll have a look if i can get the Anymode I-Band case in Germany, at least this one looks good in my opinion.

Is it only possible for people in the U.K. to order those cases or am I missing something? I can't order any of the products on the website....

The Samsung Book Cover is about the closest to the smart cover. However I have an iPad 3 also and that smart cover is dangerous... It is really slick and if you are not really careful it will detach itself...
Have you tried this case? http://www.amazon.de/Stilgut-Origin...5PZW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1361754356&sr=8-2

As in update: I received a very cheap trifold magnetic cover that I ordered off of eBay similar to this. http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=200899933118&index=6&nav=SEARCH&nid=87359384600
So far it is working fine. It has magnets to keep closed and my pen works fine for drawing.
It has volume, power and charging ports and buttons exposed and you can easily remove your pen. The only thing I wanted exposed was the headphone jack, but a simple hole punch fixed that. Certainly cheap enough.
Now for the warning. The stick on cases are much worse than I expected. They are stuck on pretty much permanently, so switching cases for different activities was not possible. I do that to have a keyboard sometimes. Now the really bad part, the adhesive is strong enough that you can separate the back from the tablet if you are not careful.
I did just that. Nothing breaks, the back of the tablet it's very flexible, but it is a real bear to get back together. Let's just say I know more about the inside off the tab than I would want to this stage in the warranty.

Can you post some pics with the case
I was wondering if anyone had thoughts or has even tried these types of car mounts.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nexcon-Magn...lde-/221655676812?hash=item339bb5378c&vxp=mtr
Its magnetic so I was wondering if people thought our Nexus 5 would work with it without the metal plate they supply. Seeing as the Nexus 5 has magnets in it's back I would think the only question is if the magnets used are attracted to the ones in the Nexus 5 and the placement of the magnets. I may get one to try out but I wanted to see people's thoughts anyway.
Well as far as I am informed and seen, inside your nexus 5 are metal discs not magnets, the magnets comes in the original nexus 5 wireless charger. Hope this make it more clear, and I think they made it a bit vague so you would get it then they would simply tells you to get their magmatic cover !!!

I wasn't sure if inside the Nexus 5 are magnets or, as you say, metal disks. I know my old Palm Pre had magnets in the back of the phone for it's TouchStone charger. I actually have two of those. And the Nexus 5 actually connects with that really well. Almost like it was made for it. If these docks are similar to what the TouchStone charger is as far as magnet placement, it should work really well without that metal plate they give you. But the plate does come with it to use with a phone case just in case. So I may just put down the 10 bucks or so and see how it goes.
Cool let me know what turns out, I may kick one too off ebay
I have this one in my car http://www.amazon.com/InfiniApps-Smartphones-Cradle-less-Quick-snap-technology/dp/B00DPMNNUO/ref=sr_1_38?ie=UTF8&qid=1427845784&sr=8-38&keywords=magnetic+car+mount
It works very well, and the phone stays locked in place. It attaches to the 4 metal plates in the back cover of the Nexus 5 meant for the official Qi charger. You can't use a case though, or the magnets won't be strong enough to hold. If you do use a case (thin TPU or thin hard case only) then you will need the metal plate insert for it to work. But even still, the phone sticks way better without a case. It sticks best in vertical position, if you do landscape it needs to be centered perfectly or it will start to twist back to vertical over big bumps, it won't come off, but it will turn.
I use an nGroove Snap (http://www.amazon.com/Mountek-nGroove-Magnetic-Smartphones-Tablets/dp/B00HMDYH2U) and it works just fine even without the metal plate.

Good to know that these do in fact work without those metal plates. I thought they'd might but thanks for confirming it. I don't use a case so it should be perfect for me. I'll definitely be getting one now.
Made my own car charger. Too bad my Spigen case is too thick, so can't use it. Or I just have to risk breaking my phone by not using the case..... Dilemma...
I use kenu airframe + google Nexus qi charger = perfect solution.
I ended up buying this one and it works perfectly.

Do you need to use the included magnetic stickers? Or will it lock to the magnets inside the phone?

Nope. It works as is. And it works nicely too. If the next Nexus doesn't have magnets, I'm going to be sad.
I have another mount, I believe it's called "iMagnet" which is almost identical. After using it for the past year with my nexus 5, I have some gripes about it. It's not an incredibly solid grip, which means every bump is going to make your phone start rotating one way or the other. I like to place my phone in landscape mode but since it's in landscape mode, the phone will twist on the mount until it's touching the dash. I'll periodically move the phone back to the center of the mount while I'm driving which probably isn't safe. Ive used my phone with cases, without cases, with dbrand skins, without. The official Google "bumper" and my spigen neo hybrid are both too thick for the mount to have a good hold, so it really slides all over the place. Using a skin, doesn't affect it too much though. If I were to get another car mount I wouldn't get one of these. It's not horrible, but it just gets annoying.

I think you'll be happy with it
I have one, and I love it. I've got one of the slim Spigen cases and I put one of the metal plates between the phone and the case. I had to play with the position to make sure I could still use NFC, Qi charging, and GPS worked fine.
Now I feel super confident in my purchase. Thanks guys!
I've been happy with this one from amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00V54LQO4?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00 only $10.99.

I just received it in the mail, and the build quality seems pretty good. I just had neck surgery the other day, so I won't be able to use it for at least a few weeks. I can't wait to try it out!
Hi, is anyone using one of these magnetic car mounts/holders? The ones where you put a magnetic plate between your phone and a case? My concern is that because the back of opt is not completely flat, it may not hold it securely.

Hi, i have one but stopped using it as my backcover fell of one time. The metal plate is a bit too wide... I will cut it smaller to solve the problem. Should work then! The magnetic power is strong enough even through the backcover (tested with Original, Carbon and Rosewood).
I use one and love it! I had to cut it to fit in the flatter area of the phone but it still works great. It works better with the sandstone back than the others.
I have the infini-apps one from Amazon. I actually met the owner of the company randomly one day when he noticed it in my car while walking by haha. Really nice guy and they are supposedly the original ones to make the mounts.

I use a CD slot one:

I personally have the older version with the neck that comes out but there newer one (the one I linked to) is supposed to be much sturdier. Also, not very useful for us OP2ers but when I met the owner he said wireless charging ones are coming next.
Ok, so I bought one of these:

Good thing is that the magnetic plate actually fits under the styleswap cover! So far so good, phone seems secure enough.

Does anyone have any experience with these for this phone? I have a thick-ish Spigen case and was looking for any recommendations for magnetic dash mounts. I currently have a CD slot mount but the cradle is too small and the whole thing is just bulky overall. Ideally the magnet is strong enough that the phone won't slide or move around too much while driving. Thank you in advance for any help!

I own one it's a vent clip it works great with the car off otherwise it will fall every bump. Also if you have to drive on bumpy road it will fall off even without the case.
I have yet to find one with a strong enough magnet to hold it steady no matter what.
I bought this one and its been in my Tow Truck since i got it. My S8+ has yet to fall from it.

I use this and the magnet can hold the following phones just fine even over bumps: Galaxy Note 3, Galaxy Note 4, GS7E, iPhone SE (of course), and GS8+.

Only had the tablet a few days but found this case to be good value for money as it came with a tempered glass screen protector.
All functions like magnets for sleep and wake work well and quality/fit seems good. Also there's a place to store the pen that I like.
Hope this helps.

I bought this one and I'm very happy with it. Doesn't add much weight at all and I love having an actual slot the pen fits into. Another bonus is the buttons on the side actuality separate the volume up/down instead of just being a rocker. Nice choice of colors too.

I bought both of these cases:

The second one I use mostly at home, because I want to be able to prop it up in portrait mode (for using it as a reference resource while I'm working) and the swivel allows me to do that. Both come in an assortment of colors (especially the first one).
official case on sale right now!
can't say enough good things about this case. magnets in all the right spots. i had the official case for my tab s4 and it was trash. this one is great.
