[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] Tintinnuntius:
I've bought it and I got a refund. It took 7 weeks to arrive and the quality is bad. The front flap is very stiff so it presses on the power button when closed and causes reboots. It also has no microfiber lining, it's just hard plastic that does not cover the screen nicely (it sticks up and flaps about). Finally, the magnets on the back are too strong and interfere with the pen (it's unusable in an inch wide strip along the length of the screen).

I got the official cover instead and the quality at least is top notch. It has none of the problems of the knock-off version and is also slightly thinner. The only annoyances are the slightly insecure upward standing position (for watching movies) and the way the flap can get in the way when taking photos. The typing position is very stable.

Heh- FWIW, I've done this with the Sammy case once or twice :)

Nice, thank you for the feedback. :D
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] DesignGrits:
Tintinnuntius: Did you get the official OEM magnetic book cover from samsung or the regular book cover? I see there are two versions on their site, one magnetic and one thats not. The biggest concern I have is drawing on the tablet while its standing. Its common knowledge that the magnetic interrupters with the s-pen while drawing. My other question is are the magnitic strips on the back of the case or on the trim of the flap cover? The reason why I ask is if the magnetics are on the back side of the case than would I have to take the case off every time I want to draw?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] Tintinnuntius:
I've bought the official samsung book cover from a local retailer and it has magnets inside the back. There are no magnets in the front flap. The magnets on the official cover do not disrupt the spen at all, there's no need to remove it while using the pen.

I ended up buying the Poetic Hardback cover from Amazon here:

edit: can't post links yet sorry.

amazon com/Poetic-HardBack-Protective-Samsung-Tablet-Black/dp/B008YZ8VL8

I've had it for a week or so now and must say I'm happy with it overall. I didn't want a case that covered the bezel at all (which it doesn't) and it has all the correct cuts for ports and the stylus is easy to remove. The cover holds the Note securely, and sits upright securely when folded to sit at an angle. It does stink a little, but the smell is fading over time. It's only been a week or so, but it seem well-made enough to not fall apart any time soon.

I really just wanted something so I could sit the tablet up at an angle in class and read the textbook during lectures if needed, but it case does seem like it would protect the tablet in a fall, so that's a plus. It does add some thickness and a little weight, but it's a decent tradeoff in my opinion.

Overall I am quite happy with the case for $13 US and would buy another one. This was my first case choice, so I don't have others to compare it to. I would recommend it to other looking for similar features that I was.

I do have a question for others with this case though. I assume the big strap is the hand strap for holding it when folded open. Is the little elastic band to strap against the tablet itself so it holds the case open? It seems to work okay, but I don't like it covering the screen. It should have been a little higher up (about a half inch) in my opinon, so it wouldn't cover a strip of the screen.

What are people's thoughts on the official non-magnetic and magnetic cases? Are the magnets a worthwhile feature or should I save my $10 and go for the standard one?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] Glen L:
my sister used a generic case with magnet on the flip cover. messed up her S-Pen.

Upon measuring using my Note 10.1's magnet detector (using tasker) it gave a reading of 2,000 which is really high.

The official galaxy note 10.1 case wih magnet is only reading 200.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] enigma_x:
I have been using an official cover (magnet) since i got my note 10.1 from last september, and i also bought gollas bag (golla genmob) for a tablet. The cover works fine but if youre going to carry it in your bag, you should get a small bag for it. It prevents things to go between the cover and the screen :cool: The mobile bag i bought is abit hard from the back, so it also release the possible pressure or torsion against the tablet in my bag (books, a pencil box, huge wallet (lol)...) so I dont need to worry about the tablet getting pressure/torsion.

There is still one problem, sensors for a compass don't like the magnet, which is obvious though... So, if youre using apps that use sensors which are sensitive for a magnet, you need to rip off the cover.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] sciurius:
Just wondering... If the note is capable of detecting the magnetic case cover, shouldn't closing the cover switch off the device, just like the magnetic cover of an iPad?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] aalupatti:
Unfortunately samsung has not enabled that in note 10.1 nor have they provided any documentation.

U can try using apps like tasker , etc and try to make it work.

This has been discussed before but no proper solution yet.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] Glen L:
I have explored this using tasker.

Apparently the magnet detector is located on Upper Left side of the Note 10.1. (can anyone else confirm this).

I've tried numerous times to get the magnet to work when you open and close the cover.

Problem is, it will work for a few times. But after a while the screen will be magnetized hence will make tasker useless since it will always detect the magnet because the screen became magnetic.

PS: Note im using a very weak magnet, Tasker reads it as 200-250 (not sure what unit, gauss?)

I have another magnet that's around 2000-2300, do not use a high magnet, it messes up the S-Pen.

the 2000-2300 magnet messed up the screen of my sister's Note 2.

Ordered the:

Oh well. Too bad, that's the case I wanted.

I agree with you that I don't mind paying for quality products, but look for that Zenus case to be around $150+.....thats how much the Tab 10.1 is - http://zenuscase.net/tablets/galaxy-tab-10-1/zenus-galaxy-tab-2-leather-case-prestige-embo-folder-series.html

Think I'd rather buy a Nexus 7 for that kinda cheddar :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] macwilson:
I have a Zenus for my Galaxy note 5" and it's an excellent case; as good as they come. It was around $60. I would think that for around that you could get the Samsung Book Cover, which looks like it may be a very good option, and perhaps less bulky than a Zenus. (or maybe not), and certainly much less expensive. I don't care if it's leather. Leather can be great, or not great.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Yeah, but man that's a nice case!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] cjones1348:
Indeed, hoping it will be more in the $50-$60 price point - then it'll become my case. I'm currently using an old Targus case that I have from my old Acer A500, it fits but a little too big for the Note and i ways too bulky. Trying to be patient and wait for a good case at a fair price.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] effluent:
Dumb question about these folio cases with the grooves to set it on a table at different angles. What if you just want to hold the thing? Does the front flap fold back all the way to attach to the back cover? Or does it just flop around all over the place..making it only useful if you only use it on a table top?

Belkin case for the Samsung note 10.1

I picked this case up this morning see pics fits perfectly $39.99 =+tax at best buy.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] Itchiee:
Yeah, I wouldn't go that overboard on the case.... And I already have a Nexus 7. :angel:

I bought one of those Android designed sleeves on Ebay and I'm going caseless... Until one of those foldy stand types becomes available.

One the guys above aren't purchasing and making disappear.....
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] mitchellvii:
Really the best solution is just to get a simple light weight plastic case and a sleeve. What most people don't think about when it comes to cases is what a pain they can be to hold.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] HasC:
I ordered this one and cancelled after learning from a review about the case on Amazon that it has magnetic fasteners, the magnets can cause problems with the S-Pen which was the case with the phone version causing the pen to write erratically. Let us know if you have issues bare in mind that problems may not show immediately.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] cmunho:
I just picked up the Belkin trifold and I'll agree it's pretty nice. It was pretty easy to put the tablet into as well. I'm not sure how it will hold up over time, but I like it overall so far.

Sent from my Galaxy Note 10.1
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] madsquabbles:
Yes, it just folds back. It depends on how you hold it whether it flops or not. I prefer these style cases because they are pretty thin - as long as you don't get the ones with the sleeves- and they're useful at multiple angles. The one that prop up by making triangles aren't as steady in my use as the bases aren't wide enough.

If you get one with the creases on both sides you can fold it over and get the 15 degree prop. The lowest setting on the notched side tends to slip on all mine or are just too bouncy when typing.

Also, some, like the roo case have a band that you can slip your hand in to assist with single handed holding.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] andylam16:
Thanks for reporting but I waiting for the Zenus.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] Pinnacle74:
The Zenus cases for the Note are priced at $79.99 - http://zenuscase.net/tablets/galaxy-note-10-1.html, if this is in fact the real price I'm getting myself the Lettering Diary one as soon as they are available! :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] cjones1348:
Thanks for the update, hopefully they'll be available the 1st week of Sept. I was really hoping to only spend ~$60 on a good case....this is very tempting now.

http://www.amazon.com/i-BLASON-Sams...id=1345646803&sr=8-12&keywords=note+10.1+case

This looks cool because the inner compartment detaches from the case. So when holding it you don't have to hold the entire case. That appeals to me.

One other benefit. It also has a stylus holder on the case which will come in handy if I decide to buy the larger pen holder for the s-pen or the BT S-pen.

Says has "magnetic closure". have heard that can negatively impact the s-pen performance, but if you remove the internal piece while using you won't be close to the magnets. Will have to do further research.

** Just pre-ordered this. Will be shipped on the 24th (I hope). That detachable inner case and stylus holder sold me. That has been my big knock on cases, that they make it ungainly to hold the tablet, but this solves that problem.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] macwilson:
A word of warning about the Zenus cases. Like I posted above, I have a leather one for the Galaxy Note 5" and it's very high quality. However, the lines and styles of their cases differ widely. I've used cases from them form the cheaper lines (Non-Leather), that are not nearly as good. The ones they list for the 10.1 Note, for around $70 may not be nearly as nice as he leather ones. The problem is, it's not just materials, it's also everything else. This is unlike most other case manufactures i've run across, as the consumers would complain loudly about something like this. The cases in the links above are an example. THey are not leather, and I would not buy one. However, I would be tempted to buy a leather version for double, as the quality would reflect the cost, and it would be as high a quality as you could get (as good, or better than Vaja). But the pleather cases they make are way overpriced, IMHO. But then again, things change, and they may be great for the larger note. I don't know.

For example, I bought two cases for my 5" note from Zenus. One non-leather case for around $35, and one leather case for around $70 (expensive, I know).

I have the leather case on it now. I threw the pleather case in the garbage.

edit: Actually, thinking about what I said about the "Consumers complaining loudly". I've seen this a lot recently with the asian stuff. For instance, I've bought a few Chinao cases for my iPad. I really like these cases, but I got one that was junk also, and then had to be careful about getting the exact one I wanted, as online they looked exactly the same, but were not. It's actually pretty tricky getting the right one.

Just a heads up

Also, apparently, i-Blason cases get very good reviews. I will most likely get one of these also as they are cheap, and i'm a bit curious.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] mitchellvii:
Yes I think the idea of the removable inner compartment is actually quite brilliant. Will provide a review once I receive it. Doesn't release for 2 more days. Hope I have better luck than with last case I ordered on Amazon. Confirmed my order then cancelled me 2 days later.

By the detachable landscape view I think it means the leather part holding the tablet inside the case is actually detachable allowing you to hold it more easily yet still have it protected.
