[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] cheeseburgers:
OK first off, apologies if this is long winded or if I should have posted this in the other accessory threads. I've had my Note 10.1 for five days now - case came the day I picked up the tablet (good timing!), and the USB adaptors arrived today.

Blue Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 'Executive Plus' Faux Leather Case with Screen Protector and Stylus Pen Holder (Fits both Tablet Versions Note 10.1 N8000/N8010):

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Exe...XVJ0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1353061991&sr=8-2

Packaging

The case arrived in a nondescript cardboard box inside another cardboard box (nobrand :p). The insides were kept in shape by a foam insert. I also got a screen protector with this package (again, nobrand)

Usage

The case itself is really well made, the note slips inside a pouch and velcro'ed in, and the front cover folds backwards to form a stand. Access ports are unblocked, with generous openings for the cameras and sensors, as well as holes where the speakers are (smart!). Removing the S PEN from its slot is not very easy since there's no hole cut into the case for that. There is, however, a pen holder loop built on the top ridge of the case where your power buttons and I guess you could store the S PEN there, or buy another S PEN and keep it there (I'm tempted to do that)

The lid stays shut with the help of magnets built into the top edge of the case, seems sturdy. There are two slots for SD cards built into the inside of the case but I don't think I will use them - they're exposed when you flip the lid open to form the stand and I'm not too convinced the cards will stay where they are.

Overall, a good case, hard, slim, functional. And its a nice blue colour :p. Might not be as padded as other cases but it is light and does protect the tablet to some degree. The only real gripe I have with this case is the flap the lid slots into when using it as a stand. It's made of hard material, but it feels like it will go out of shape after extended periods of use. The screen protector is nothing to shout home about, it does what it does, protects the screen. Screen brightness is affected slightly by the protector though. :rolleyes:

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 SD Card and USB Adapter - Black:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Gal...2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1353062038&sr=1-2

Packaging

Small box the size of cigarette cartons. Does say Samsung Galaxy Tab but it works just as well with the note. Comes with instruction sheet (!)

Usage

The USB adaptors are amazing. All plastic, good build quality, light weight. You get one 30pin to female USB connector, plus another 30pin to full sized SD card adaptor. Connected my camera direct to the note using the USB and it had no trouble reading it or transferring pictures from the camera's SD card. Same with other USB sticks. The SD card adaptor works in the same way except only for SD cards of course. Streaming movies was not an issue.

Only problems might be the 30pin itself. Feels like the slightest knock will bend it out of shape when its in the note. Overall I am really pleased with the adaptors, although they are a bit more expensive than the other brands and you'll need to carry both adaptors plus other bits compared to, for example, the eKit.

Bonus - the Sony Ericsson MW-600 Bluetooth Stereo Headphones works amazingly well with the phone and Note 10.1. It has multipoint tech so you can have both devices connected to the headset - listening to music from the Note 10.1 then taking calls from the phone feels just right. Buy Tablet Talk and you won't need to take the phone out of your bag or pocket anymore.

Just remember to pair the Note 10.1 first, and THEN hold the call button on the headset to pair it with the phone, other wise it might not work. This particular headset is a bit "old" (released 2009, I bought it last year), and Sony had replaced it with another similar headset, Sony Smart Wireless Stereo Headset Pro. Not had the pleasure of using that yet but I don't plan to buy another headset until the MW600 breaks.
