I wouldn't carry this in my coat pockets...may weigh too much and stress the pocket. Then causing a rip. I did measure the width of the tablet with and without the book case. It adds 0.5cm (13.2cm with/ 12.7cm without). I used a ruler, GSM arena specs the width at 12.56cm.

you are correct. the book cover will not work with the keyboard case.

---------- Post added at 07:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:16 AM ----------

All - I'm curious to know how strong your magnets are for your book cover. I have to be careful not to bump my tablet when watching videos because the magnets will give and the cover folds on itself. I can't type an email in the lowest angle because the case gives and collapses.

Either I have a faulty cover/case. I know heat can weaken magnets. Or I have to accept that the magnets are manufactured that way.

Please share if your cover stands up to bumps and movement.
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] aboalghool:
Well then is there any cover that fits both the tablet and the keyboard?
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] LochNiss:
Not that I have seen. You can always use a 3rd party keyboard/case combo. Search for the Fintie Blade X1 or MoKo cases. I don't care for them because there is nothing to keep the keyboard keys from touching the face of the tablet and they don't use the "buttons" to snap in the case.
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] rfabbro:
Here are some pictures for those asking how the white tab looks with the bronze cover.

The only weak points I find with this cover are 1) maximum 50° film viewing angle and 2) part of the flap that touches your screen when closed is touching the table when open.

Otherwise I think it looks great with the white tablet. I still haven't decided what to do. The other models with better (for me) viewing angle and with different flap system, all necessarily have a plastic container to hold the tab in place and make the whole setup a lot thicker. Hard to decide without trying first.

I hope you like the pictures.

No issues with the magnets on mine, works great in the 3 different views.

Just a quick one;

Do all samsung covers come with the TAB S and Samsung logo on the front?

IF so mine doesnt have them... But has the pattern all the way round. Guessing I have a fake here?
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] aboalghool:
I must say, i'm really happy with this bag, i'm getting it off Ali Express.. it's for the galaxy tab 10.5 with its keyboard.

http://www.aliexpress.com/item-img/...ve-Bag-Case-Cover-Pouch-For-7/1743739544.html
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] Hisma:
It's fake. Mine definitely has the sammy logos on it.
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] Chinaboy5216:
Hi all , does anyone know if there is a original Samsung cover detection in the tab s 8.4? I bought a cheap click over cover and now having problems that the tab freezes ?
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] mWags:
Yes, cover detection ( auto on? ) works just fine with the book cover. If that's what you mean. It's expensive IMO but worth it.
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] Chinaboy5216:
yip, so cover detection is present. Great ...

Problem is here in China difficult to find original covers, the one i have now is fake for sure.

Anyway thanks for the feedback, i'll check if there is a possibility through xposed or some other means to shutdown this detection thingy and i don't mean the option in the setting/accessories section.
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] sweetandsoursauce:
Bought the black samsung OEM case, it's great and all but it's not worth 60$ despite how rich the materials or the processing was. Most expensive case for this tablet? Definitely.

I'm going to give it another week or two before I refund it back to get my 67$ back and find another alternative cheaper case than this.

Quality wise though, it's great if you have money to spend.
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] terry1000:
I was using the book cover up to purchasing the matching keyboard dock.

The cover does look nice fitted to the tablet, however, I feel that it is very much over priced.

I am now carrying the tablet with dock in one of these:

https://www.luckies.co.uk/gift/undercover-tablet/

The Galaxy TAB S 10.5 fits perfectly snugg with the keyboard attached as if this slip case was made especially for the TAB S.
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] snapper.fishes:
I have seen that case before, but the photo looks like someone taped some Velcro onto a cheap ass manila envelope. So what do you think of the material?
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] terry1000:
I have my Tab S docked in the keyboard, it fits tight in the envelope as if it was made to measure.

It does look like a tatty envelope and I feel it will look better with age as the creases develop. The outer layer is Tyvek by Dupont, it is meant to be tear resistant and water proof. It is not as padded as a proper case such as my TuffLuv sealskin case, but it does have a thin inner foam layer that is covered by a bright red polyester type lining.

I keep my Tab S double wrapped at home inside the envelope and the Tuffluv case.

The aim of this case is not to advertise the fact that you have an expensive tablet. Unfortunately, the jokey labels give it away, such as:-

To:

Mega Byte Co. Inc

Hard Drive

London

England

2GB 1MB

and

LOL POST,etc.

I have stuck a real address label over the above and stuck old stamps over the joke stamps to make it more realistic, for the £8 that I paid I am happy enough, and so far no one has mentioned that I am carrying a tablet.

Edit:

I have just come across another envelope case, Dynomighty Airmail Tyvek Padded Tablet Case:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dynomighty-...425302633&sr=8-1&keywords=padded+tyvek+tablet
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] snapper.fishes:
Inspired by your post, I decided to try making one myself. Lo and behold my 1 USD padded Manila envelope case.

It's quite a tight fit, so it definitely won't fit a keyboard case. Other than that, it's water resistant, shock resistant and light weight. Not bad for a 1 dollar case (the Velcro probably cost more than the envelope, but I had some already at home.)
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] drmodify:
I have one myself for the 8.4 and I'd have to agree with all of you of the PREMIUM quality of this . Its great for landscape viewing however for portrait mode, it will be less ergonomical and personally it makes the tablet FATTER. In summary sometimes I like it on my tab however there are small times which I really don't like it
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] mamali.z:
i have it on my galaxy tab s T705 as well and sometimes i love the cover more than i love my tablet LOL it feels so good in hand and really tin , at first i thought i have to treat it like a lady but then i realized how good quality it is , you cant bend it unless you really want to do it ! it is a very solid case and i got it for a cheap price it was on sail :D
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] burt_ie:
Another happy customer here for the book case. I got it off Amazon for £30 and it arrived this morning.

Really love it as I can just sit with it propped up on my lap on the sofa. Really impressed with the quality, I was originally in two minds about getting one but I'm so glad I did. The matching bronze looks quite cool too!
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] obsydian:
Love the case but do find quite often I detach and prefer just holding the tablet.

Recently bought to Samsung BT keyboard and pleasantly and rather cool realised it doubles as a case also.
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] dieselstation:
I just bought a used Galaxy Tab S.. and it came with this case.. and I HATE IT. The edges are very uncomfortable.
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] Eddie Hicks:
I quoted myself a year after that post remembering how a couple of people jumped on me because I felt this case though very nice, was much too expensive for what you got. I felt Samsung were taking advantage and gouging people. Even back then for a very short period they sold them at half price but I missed that opportunity. I actually purchased a new genuine retail boxed Samsung Book Cover on ebay for $30 a few months ago. That's $40 less than those that asked who gave me the authority to say it was too expensive. Yes someone actually said that. I still have my Poetic case that I use when I travel because it affords more protection. At $30 bucks the Book Cover is well worth it. To me that's about what it was always worth and I'm happy I waited.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnapplerX:
So randomly I will lose service (cell and data) and sometimes also com.htcdialer will stop responding, sometimes not. Sometimes also, it will be fine and then randomly reboot and start back up with no service. The service only comes back randomly as well. I will reboot several times and eventually the sim setup notification will pop up and once I select my carrier (simple mobile, but the only option to select is for t mobile) it will work again for a while and then the whole thing will happen again.

It used to be fine until I updated from ARHD 31.6 or 62.0 (I can't remember) to ARHD 71.1. I tried going with viper 6.2, maximus hd 42.0, arhd 6.1 GE and even stock kitkat with sense 6 from arhd. None of these made a difference. I tried full wipes, new firware/radio, even tried going back to ardh 31.6 (which used to work perfectly for me) and still no luck. I have the same issue and its killing me.

If anyone could help me I would love you forever. Thanks.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnapplerX:
Quick update:

I went completely stock with the RUU (kept S-OFF though) and still have this problem. I'm thinking its a hardware issue now :(
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wellersl:
That's the question.

I'd be 99.9% happy with my HD+ and any ROM that lets me use Tablet UI - *IF* I could find one stable enough to use the Performance governor setting.

The why is because everything I've tried so far exhibits delayed response from the touchscreen. Drives me nuts!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] UgXvibe:
I can only assume that this will be a ROM option once HTC officially releases 4.4.4 for Sense? Just wondering if anyone is working on this. I have been pretty happy with stock but would be ecstatic to have this! I am, obviously, a Sense fanboy. I think they have polished it up pretty nice in version 6.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] KneeDragr:
I can't imagine any update not working with sense. I agree though, only skin I prefer to stock android.

Hi all,

I apologize if this has been documented somewhere but I've tried searching the forums and various PA youtube videos to figure it out, with no luck so far.

What does this button (pictured below), do?

Thanks!

That enables hover

[Paranoid Android Q&A] nezb:
Thank you!

At first I thought it had something to do with auto-closing the drawer after swiping away the last notification, but that didn't seem to be the case.

I'm not sure if this is PA style, but perhaps a popup or toast notification the first time the user presses this button to give them an idea of what's going on?

It does.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] slaydog:
Hey all,

The New Google camera is sweet, and it also has "Lens blur" which simulates good depth of field, and is totally adjustable...

Also, I found an app called "Depth Photo live wallpaper" that allows you to turn lens blur photos into 3D LWP...

Check out this short screen recording:

http://youtu.be/-TTOkbkk_3Y

(Make the video full screen, cuz it is too small to see on the phone)

Not a great pic to begin with, but you get the idea. Also, the LWP app was free when I got it from AppGratis a couple days ago, but I'm sure costs something now...

Note: Google camera only works with Kitkat...

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] levenum:
Personally I like WinamPaq. Guess its because I got used to winamp on the PC.

One note about WMP - it seems to take up more memory then the competition.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] terramax:
Thank you, but...none of them is really good. First of all Windows Media Player doesn't allow to play a selection continuously. MortPlayer has UGLY and unfriendly interface, as all af their (very good) programs. The guy from 40th floor blocks the whole world and sells his program only to US americans.... so there is nothing on the market? Anybody tried Vito player? Is it any good?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] levenum:
I don't use MortPlayer, but like many others it is skinable. You can even create your own skin so I wouldn't dismiss the app just because of looks.

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Rayan:
I vote for Conduits PocketPlayer... Nice, Skinnable, works great with A2DP, bass boost and equalizer (Pocket Music chokes with this feature).

FYI: Windows Media Player sucks big time since it does not have bass boost and/or graphic equalizer... Sounds too flat without this features.

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] 40th Floor:
As for your claim about 40mp3, it was never

a free app. It was a Handango-exclusive thing

I did many years back. The problem was, and as

far as I know, still is, that any file on

Handango servers is accessible if you know the

path. 40mp3 was on warez boards before it

even became visible on Handango's site (it can

be more than a day before the file is listed

even though the web page for it appears). I

know this because I had all sorts of hits to

web pages that were listed only in the .zip,

and obviously linking from pages hosted on warez

boards.

I came across more than one board that had direct

links into Handango of my stuff, and everything

else there. One is a big warez board in Spain.

40mp3 was, in Handango's lingo, "commercial"

- no key required. It would be apparent to

anyone using it that is was commercial, so it's

not like you could confuse it with being "free",

unless your definition of free is, "anything I

don't have to spend money", or more to the point,

"anything I can beg, borrow, or steal".

http://www.pocketmatrix.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=12745

So, everyone that was on these warez boards (on

down the chum chain) got a copy as they saw fit,

update after update included (made it up to v3.99).

After Handango refused to do anything -- there was

lip service but obviously nothing fixed -- I pulled

out and left the outfit to carry on in its blissful

state: deaf, dumb, and blind (see no evil, hear no

evil, ...). Thanks to Handango, lots of "stores"

are selling 40mp3 even today (I don't know why,

exactly, but Spain and Russia are the only two).

40mp3 is garbage, though, and if anyone thinks that's

good, you need to get out of the warez boards (always

adds stuff that infects - really) and step out into

the real world. People on warez boards are without

exception scum. Why touch anything from them?

Get a life. You won't be so miserable like everyone I see on the warez boards.
