[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] Grogck:
Very nice. I much prefer non-portfolio style cases due to their immediate accessibility. But I also prefer one with a built-in stand for video viewing and this one seems to be the first one like that for the note that I've come across (and a more premium model at that.) Based on the reviews for other tablets this seems a good possibility. Added to my wishlist and I'll be eagerly checking this forum/thread for a review once it's available.

Otterbox has already said they have no plans for a Note 8.0 case unfortunately. Odd since the Note 8.0 seems to be selling very well (at least according to my local Best Buys) and people who would pay $400 for a premium tablet would seem the most likely to not balk a premium case. I know I wouldn't. Oh well....

This case looks just like what I was after. I got a cheap folio case to start with while I waited to find my ideal case. I like the rased bevel. wanted one like that to help prevent me clicking the capacitive buttons by mistake in landscape mode. The raised home button will also prevent me accidentally pushing that as well. Happens sometimes when playing multiplayer fps games.

I've still not decide if I'll get a screen guard or not. Dont intend on using the one provided though.

Look forward to your feedback. Not available until June 30th in the UK.

YES! - stylus slot in Revolution for Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] wase4711:
well, got this case yesterday, and I have to say its everything I had hoped for and more; sort of like an otterbox, with a built in stand, which works in portrait and landscape.

HD rubber around the screen edges, fully protect port openings, and even the camera has a flip off protector, which,even has a little "slot" that holds it back when you want to use the camera; very nice high end touches like that, and a very solid feel to it as well.

You insert it inside a plastic bottom frame, then snap the top cover over it, which has a very nice clear protector built into it, which, when used in conjunction with my current Spigen Ultra Clear, provides a fantastic surface to easily use my spen/holder on, giving you the identical feel as if you were writing on a legal pad, with a pen...very nice!

You then wrap the rubber cover around the frame, and after a few minutes of adjusting, you have basically a giant "otterbox" like protected tablet!!

Its probably not for eveyone, but I love holding the tablet in my hand, like a giant G-Note 2, and writing on it and using it now is so much nicer...I think it would easily survive a major fall, but dont ask me to try that!!

Definately more useful, and much better protection than any of these folio/notebook fabric covered cardboard cases that are all over the place..its just a little bulky for those with small hands...

Amazon price was 60% off the price from Poetic, so I would suggest you get if from Amazon if you are interested..

I was wondering if anyone could give the exact size of the case in inches. I am considering a swap to the note 8 from my nexus 7. Size is a concern because I keep it in my flight suit pocket. The Note 8 without a case is the same size in H and W as my nexus 7 with an otterbox installed. I was wondering how much extra size the poetic case adds. Thanks for the help!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] wase4711:
8 1/2 inches long, 5 3/4 wide, 5/8ths of an inch thick is the total size with this case on...the corners are diaganally cut, if that matters to you..

thanks for posting this!:good:
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] Jadefalkon:
Looking at the pictures and video is there any chance of the kick stand brace scratching the back of the note when it's folded? It appears to me metal. I'm close to ordering but I'm also nervous about the addition weight and thickness, how bad is it?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] Uh60m Pilot:
I do not have the case yet. One possible solution I thought of after watching the video was to take the protective screen that comes on the front of the device (they tell you to peel it off prior to use) and place it against the back of the device prior to placing in the case. It would act as a thin plastic protective film on the back of the device. Not sure how well it would work.... just a thought.

As far as size goes it was posted for me above. I do wonder how it compares in size to the gumdrop case. I can not find any specifications on that case. I will email the manufacture and post on here when I get a response.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] wase4711:
not bad at all, and there isnt much chance of anything being scratched, since neither the stand nor the tablet moves at all when the stand is compressed....you use this thing, or do you carry it around in a plastic bag, on a pillow????

the case adds about 1/2 inch all around to the size; you're not putting this thing in your pants pocket, so I wouldnt be concerned about how much "size" this adds; weight wise, unless you are a small child, with tiny hands, you wont notice much diffference...

This thing is a TABLET, and this is a multi layer CASE for it, primarily for protection, and water resistance; if that is not what you are looking for, I would buy something else..This is EXACTLY what I hoped it would be, similar to an Otterbox Defender for a Tablet.

I hate those plastic screen protectors, does it appear to be easy to remove?

sgh-TWEAKED-889©
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] wase4711:
I usually hate them too, but this one is pretty clear and doesnt annoy me yet.

you can probably just push it out, but I havent tried it yet..
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] ascott007:
It looks like, with this case, you won't be able to use the note 8 as a phone at all (when held up to your head). Has this been everyone's experience?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] wase4711:
what makes you think that?

even though I have a wifi only, I use vonnage/groove ip to make calls with it and its no different than it was without the case..
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] ascott007:
Thanks very much for the feedback. That's great news. I've ordered one.

What made me think that was that the entire front was encased by the screen protector, covering up the speaker and microphone. Given that the Poetic Revolution is designed for other tablets, and other tablets don't function as a phone, I was worried. But thankfully the manufacturer thought about the phone functionality when making this.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] Warrior1975:
I've ordered one too, not really liking the Sammy book cover case too much. Just nor enough protection for me. I'll probably take the screen cover off, I've been running my devices without them for years now, I'm usually very careful. Plus, like someone else stated this won't be going in my pocket, so keys scratching my screen won't be an issue. I almost went with the Gumdrop case, it was close but aesthetically, I think this case is a bit nicer. Thanks OP and Was for your solid reviews.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] Grogck:
Had this for a couple days now. Really liking it as this fits my needs for an Otterbox-like case coupled with a stand. It does add some thickness (mostly on the edges as you'd expect), but the device itself is now MUCH more secure. I already accidentally knocked it off the edge of the couch about 3 feet onto hardwood floors and it held up brilliantly.

I'll likely end up just permanently snipping the protective covers off the micro-USB and headphone ports though as I use those so often.

If the provided screen protector ends up bugging me (no complaints so far) I'll just pop it out. Nice case for only $30.

Just ordered mine. :)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] Uh60m Pilot:
Can anyone post a pic of the case next to the table not installed. It would also be helpful to see it against a standard flip cover case. I am worried about the height difference. I place my tablet in the leg of my flight suit. I keep all my maintenance pubs installed on it and keep notes about each aircraft in the anotes app. The pocket will still zip close in my poetic hardback case but with very little extra room. I was concerned how much bigger this case is. Thanks to anyone who can post.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] Warrior1975:
I can show it tomorrow next to my Sammy flip case, once I receive this.

I gotta tell you that you should just order it; Amazon has the best return policy of anyone, so if it doesn't fit, you can easily return it...
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] Uh60m Pilot:
That would be perfect thanks!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] Warrior1975:
I'm not very good with the camera so forgive the lack of quality, but I hope it helps.

The screen is still pretty clear with the annoying screen protector on.

Had everyone left the protector screen in theres or have you now popped it out?

no scratches on mine, and I had mine first..
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] brecklundin:
can't decide between this case, and that video helped a bunch, and the iFace for my daily use case. I suspect this case will be more protective but for work the iFace will look much nicer.

I do wonder about the screen protector though. Leave it in and what happens to spen usefulness overall, not meaning just the feel of the spen in use either.

Also about the screen protector; after watching that video if the screen protector is removed how loose does that retaining "ring" become as it appears the design uses the screen protector to snug the frame in place sort of like a gasket.

I suppose I might not be thinking of how nice a really protective case would be to have. Plus it is a ton less expensive than Gumdrop cases. Still I do really like the looks of the iFace case but it is likely not near as protective.

decisions, decisions....
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] wase4711:
I popped my SP out a few days ago, and its just as tight a fit as it was before i did that..This case is tons more protective than the Iface case is, if that helps your decision at all..

Remember buying it through Amazon you have a very liberall return/exchange program, so keep that in mind..
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] brecklundin:
Thanks Was....the screen thing did concern me a fair bit. I did have a sense the iFace is pretty much about looks not substance. It is just a lot less industrial looking. But at work I will need more protection than it would likely provide. Better too much protection than not enough. I might even leave that screen protector in place anyway as part of my job involves crawling around in the buildings mapping out Access Points and cabling. I will be using the Note 8 to keep track of things up there as well as checking wifi signals too...

Not worried about returns with Amazon, I pretty much buy everything from them these days. haha...I get my use from my Prime membership that is for sure. Of course that did not stop them from shipping me the wrong DSLR in the right box last year. Boy did they bend over to make that snafu right by me.

I need an SD card for it too so I might as well order both I suppose. Still good think the boss is paying because all the extras are nickel & dime-ing me to death! $30 here, $20 there, $50 for a 64gb card and yeesh might well have bought a danged Win8 Pro tablet...hahah, OK not quite but you get the picture.

Thanks for the feedback and I will just order it today and have it here tomorrow...love that overnight shipping for $4/item. :sly:
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] wase4711:
Yep. Amazon Prime is a beautiful thing..

Being from an Industrial background myself, I am certain the the Poetic case will be the one you want; think of an Otterbox Defender for your tablet, just not quite as bulky as the otterbox is..

I wish I would have bought a 64 gig card for mine; I have one on my phone, but only bought a 32 gig for the tablet when I bought it at Best Buy; their sd card prices suck, so I didnt want to spend 99 bucks for a 64 gig they had there..I know online you can get them in the 40-50 dollar range, so I would def go that route...
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] brecklundin:
yeppers, Prime is....nice...but dangerous too...many a late night of not being able to sleep led to buying something just because fast shipping was free or just $4.

I actually bought the wrong card, I planned for a 32gb but somehow let the 64gb in the cart. Really is was a 3am goof. I was gonna get the newer Extreme version of the Sandisk card but when I saw the 64gb was $99 I gagged and went for the Ultra. But I hear you about BB SD card prices. Over the top for sure. Funny thing is when I have to drop into Walmart here I often check prices and they are pretty much as high as BB anymore. I've found acceptable in a pinch prices at our local Staples on cards on sale. Not as nice as Amazon but not near to BB. I am looking forward to the prices on the Extreme version dropping this year as they really seem 2x faster. I think it was here someone did a test comparing and research confirmed.

I'll drop in and let ya know how the case works for me. If only there was a tempered glass protector out there somewhere life would be perfect for a few microseconds.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] wase4711:
well, the closest thing to glass I have found, is the Moshi Screen protector, only sold at att stores; I have had them on my last 4 phones, and they last forever, with no glare/smudges...Incredibly, since ATT now sells the note 8 LTE version, they also have a Moshi SP for that...its 30 bucks, but you'll never buy another one after this, I promise, and it goes on so easy its ridiculous...
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] Warrior1975:

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] brecklundin:
hehehehe...hey!! that's cheating...really going to school on the rest of us. snickersnicker...nicely done however. I did order one over the weekend, blame Was for that, so it won't get here until Tuesday I think.

One conundrum I already know I am going to have is with the screen protector. Part of the time I will be using mine in a dusty place, crawling around in the attics of our buildings working on the network or whatever breaks up there. So I see a big benefit to sticking to the integrated SP. But on the other hand I see the case as being a really nice way to help protecting from minor drops during regular use. And I will be using this every day I'm at work for 10-16hrs at a whack which will really increase the risk of a drop. I know the SP will be awful in normal use areas but could be a huge bonus in the attic. So I just don't know. The simple answer might be to buy a 2nd one of these cases. But, well...????

I already contacted the good folks at SGP asking if they were going to bring out a version of their Glas t. family of tempered glass protectors. The answer was an emphatic NO with zero plans for one. That stinks as they do seem to be great protection, especially for a device w/o a Gorilla glass layer. I would rather scratch or even shatter that glass SP than have to replace parts on my tablet screen.

Sure an acidental damage warranty would work but well, I dunno...I sure could have used that when my tf300t went skipping down the highway at 70mph a couple months back. So coin toss...but like everyone I don't relish the idea of being sans my devices for a few weeks or whatever the Square Trade folks promise, 5-day turn-around I believe??? But that is another 120ish-bones.

Anyway, will update how I like mine soonest...

Oh, I did stumble on a nice idea when hunting some other items...I also grabbed an el cheapo fake leather case by Poetic on Amazon for around $12. Looking at it, I can add a plastic grommet in the spine of the case then slip a laynard in there so when walking around here at work I can slip the laynard around my wrist. I have hand issues so I always worry about dropping stuff. I also worry if it's not attached I might lay it down somewhere then get distracted and walk away w/o it...early onset CRS I think but it could happen.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] wase4711:
hey, dont blame me for your problem of loving your tablet!!!

Actually, you may be surprised at how decent the built in Screen protector actually is; I left mine for a few weeks, even though I already had another Screen protector on the tablet, giving me twice the protection....

I actually popped it out a few days ago; mine never sees the extreme conditions yours does, so for me, it was just too much...however, I bet you end up keeping yours on, since it doesnt interfere with the smooth operation of the spen, and, in your case, more protection is better...

after a month of this protector, I like it just as much; I have 2 other cases, and this one stays on about 98% of the time, if that gives you any indication of how nice this case actually is..
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] Uh60m Pilot:
Thanks for the information. I am a pilot for the US Army and will be deploying again soon. A built in screen protector is a must for me to protect the device from the sand. I am happy to hear that the screen protector is decent quality.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] Warrior1975:

Well I finally decided to buy this case. Even thought their are other options available, this one has a stand and covers all ports including the camera. I could not pass it up!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] Tekjunke:
I'm still undecided because of the silicone attracting dust. That drives me crazy.

I tried the Samsung case, hated it. Yesterday I picked up the Belkin cinema stripe, and for $50 its got too many flaws as well.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] wase4711:
delete please
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] wase4711:
well, you waited long enough to decide!!

Yeah, now there are a few other "tough cases" out for this thing, but they are 2 to 3 times as expensive, and dont offer anything that this one doesnt already have...

After 5 weeks of ownership, its only come off once; the thick rubber outer skin attracks a little dust/fuzzies, plus, I eventually popped out the built in Screen protector, since I already had one on the tablet, but you can leave it on, as it is not a bother at all, and you are dealing with some seriously dirty/hazardous conditions in your daily routine.

You will be really surprised how nice a 29 dollar protective case like this really is!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] Uh60m Pilot:
I received my case today. Yes I know... finally :) I have to say that I am extremely impressed with the build quality as well as materials. The rubber is different than any other case I have owned. Much less likely to attract dust and lint. I will post a short review in a few days. I would like to thank everyone in this forum (especially the OP) for helping to convince me to get this case. It is well worth the money!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] wase4711:
i knew you would like it; its too nice of a case for the money to not like!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] hertsjoatmon:
This last part sparked my interest. Do you keep yours in a pouch as well or something? I've noticed a few scratches on the front protector screen on mine. Not enough to warrent replacement yet, but I know I'll probably want a new screen protector in a few months. I could probably do with a pouch for it in the mean time to stop keys or what ever in my bag being scraped against the front.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] brecklundin:
actually no pouch though one will likely be added. What I poorly called a "multi-case" setup was in reference to having multiple cases for different device uses.

I agree with you about eventually needing to replace the built-in soon protector. Ijust am not sure how soon that might happen.

One reason I'm unlikely to remove mine is I want that little bit of added protection afforded by it being integrated with the front bezel. Makes things slightly more sealed.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] hertsjoatmon:
Agreed. I didn't really think I needed a screen protector and i wonder if that scratches I have on the one built in case would even make a mark on the notes naked screen, but the fact that I have any marks at all have swayed me firmly into the screen protector camp.

I've not looked much into screen protectors, but i'll be looking for one that will cover the entire front face when I do replace the built in one on this case. Then hopefully the plastic wrap around case will squeese the edges of the screen protector creating a tight seal.

I just stumbled across avery handy use for the Revolution... when eating Albertson's Chicken Wings (zesty of course) for dins. I'm being only slightly humorous because one of my uses for my tabs is reading or whatever during a meal. Of course tend up with grubby paw prints all over them. Them tonight my N8 happened to be wearing its Revolution outfit & viola the Case & SP took the hit & were easily cleaned post feeding frenzy.

So there ya go it has already paid for itself by letting me enjoy tasty zesty wings while reading.
