Does anyone have an opinion on the best case for the Touchpad? I was considering the i-Blazon leather case but wanted to see if anyone cared to weigh in. I tried to post a link to it but apparently I can't until I've posted 8 times. No worries, its the only brown i-Blazon case on google shopping.
Please avoid crap about how 'that case costs almost half of Touchpad'. We live in a world where good products generally cost real amounts of money. Getting the Touchpad for $100 was a STEAL. All of us know that. So... In keeping with the fact that most of us paid nowhere near what the Touchpad is worth... I just want a good case!
If you have thoughts on el cheapo cases, then awesome! I have two Touchpads, one external keyboard, and I'm throughly enjoying WebOS while waiting for Android.
Thank you in advance!
Imho Custom Fit Case is the best one but dam i cant find a way to buy it from Greece :S
edit: the iBlazon case for 20$ is pretty good deal, though are you sure it fits the HP Touchpad?
The link you references is for an ipad case, not the hp touchpad. There is one for the hp touchpad. On Amazon the title is "i-BLASON Executive Portfolio Brown Leather Case Cover Stand with Landscape / Portrait View for HP TouchPad 9.7-inch Tablet Computer". I can't post links yet...
To me, that seems like the absolute best case, but I haven't met another Touchpad user to compare cases with!
Ohh alright i didnt know they made one for Touchpad (though i still believe they just took the Ipad case and renamed it as touchpad case).
And the one you were referring to looks a lot like this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-Touchpad...?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item20bc367f2a
and its like 1/3 cheaper
The case you linked to is not real leather. The design is similar but the quality is not. Big difference between pleather (PU Leather in that ebay description) and real leather.
The i-blazon case looks to be totally covering up the bezel, except for the home button. That means you won't be able to use the swipe function to minimize windows or close the cards. A deal breaker for me. I'm using the official hp case and love it. I gotta find some kind of elastic strap to keep the "screen flap" from flapping around though.
You could have a look at what Oberon Design have to offer - their iPad 1 covers should fit fine because they use corner straps. I have one of their covers for my Kindle and have modified one of their small journals to accommodate my Sony 650. They are also extremely helpful so if you have any questions, send them an email.
The quality of the leather is simply amazing and it's really well made.
Now for a few words of caution
-Their stuff isn't cheap, particularly when ordering from outside the US with p&p , vat on import etc... (I get stuff delivered to a friend in the US who brings it over when he comes to London for a visit)
-It's made to order so allow up to a week between ordering and despatch
-The covers aren't light - remember, they're nice thick real leather
-The designs aren't going to be to everyone's taste, their stuff is *different* and *original* - the hint is in the name of the company, people who like to just stick with the herd are advised not to look!

edit: there's more than 1 colour for each design, click on the pictures to see what's available

Wow nice covers but i cant pay more for a cover than i paid for the device. That said again i have to comment the covers are preety nice.
I did say it wasn't cheap currently debating whether I should get one - they are so incredibly nice in real life, believe me. Every time I have the bad idea of looking at their site I want to buy something. On the plus side, there's fewer designs for the iPad covers than there are for the Kindle so it make choosing a little bit easier. It's also worth remembering that the covers will far outlive the devices so think about ways of modifying them for other uses later! I'm off on hols in a few days so if I have some left-over money when I get back I'll probably order one *sighs* ... I already have the Celtic hounds in black which is jaw-dropping, and the Medici in purple for my other toys. The only strap that looks like it will go over buttons on the TP is the top right one and this isn't a problem because it's the bungee. I'll probably send them an email and ask for the exact location of the straps as the TP is 2.8mm shorter than the iPad, width and thickness are so similar (0.3mm difference) that fit shouldn't be a problem
edit: I have emailed Oberon to ask about the fit, and also given them the relevant measurements. I'm hoping that they can try it if they have a Touchpad at hand (or if they can borrow one) and will update when I get a reply
tbqh, i have the official hp case that was being sold with the device, and i couldn't be happier it functions to protect the unit, and is a 2-stage stand, really an awesome buy in my opinion
I have the official case and whilst it's functional, I just find it incredibly bland . I'm also a bit annoyed with HP for not incorporating something in the design to keep it closed, surely they should have thought about that. I'm using a piece of elastic that I slip over the the case to keep the front flap shut when it's in a bag, not ideal but does the job.
http://store.griffintechnology.com/ipad/elan-folio
That's the case I went with. It's the Elan-folio from Griffin. Works great and holds everything just fine. It was meant for an ipad, but the touchpad fits just as good.
Picked this up from Wal-Mart for $30. It is designed for the iPad 2 but works damn good for the Touchpad. Available in 3 colors. The home button is clearly visible and functional, as is the volume and power.

What are you talking about? You don't swipe on the bezel... How would covering the bezel affect anything?

I've grown so accustomed to (or fond of) the swipe to minimize/close function on the touch pad that I found myself trying to swipe an app closed on my android phone today. Must have swiped 6 times before I realized what I was doing.
Hi folks, I am noob and submit to all its greatness. I was blessed enough to pick up one of these touchpads from BB, and found a case at Compusa you might want to know about
www adesso com - look under the Ipad keyboard section
- I am too newb so I cannot post a link.
It was on sale at Compusa for $50 .
First thing is obvious, this was not made for the touchpad, its designed for an Ipad, and the case has a snug fit around the touchpad but has a bluetooth keyboard that I was able to pair with. The touch pad will fit in slide in pouch, but will not fully clasp. More on that in a second
The Bluetooth Keyboard. - In order to pair with this thing, you must
- turn on bluetooth on Keyb and touchpad
- search for keyboards in bluetooth prefs
- put in a key on the touchpad screen
I used `12345678"
- then type the same on the keyboard (NOTE* You will not see any prompts on the screen, just type "12345678" and press enter. ) This was how I got it to sync and have been able to repeat it . SYNC
The Keyboard is like one of those roll up silicone keyboards, and it has a magnetic backing that attaches to the case and keeps it in place pretty nicely. Under the Keyboard makes a nice little place to keep my official "HP ' cleaning rag.
Back to the case, so this thing has grown on me especially since the bluetooth keyboard works well. I am going to modify mine a little, by sewing in small pieces of elastic in certain places so that it has a little more room to expand. Overall, I think its worth testing out if theirs a retailer that sells it near by. I like it so far.

I agree with you in the official hp case. It fits really nicely and the two angles work perfectly. It is not leather but a kind of high density rubber with felt on any side that faces the touchpad.
The only complaint I have with the case is that it seems to get spots on the exterior. My daughter was wet and walked by me; a drop of water landed on the case and now there is a spot that will not come off.
I just got this in the mail today. Works well. I wanted a case that completely closed around the tp with a zipper.

Will be doing a thorough review on the Seidio Active X Case, including some tests for durability. Pictures will be included.
Providing the Basics today along with a few photos, will run the case through a series of test for durability and use this weekend. More pictures to come!
My apologies if a couple pics don't look so great Camera was giving me issues.
Intro:
Well Just received the Seidio Active X case today and I have to say I was surprised. You are provided with three pieces. Outer Screen protector, a rubber back skin, and then a Plastic Skeleton to go over the rubber back piece. Installation was breeze and this case is easier to remove due to the design of the Plastic Skeleton. Outer Screen protector is pretty simple to remove but having finger nails will benefit greatly! Another thing to note: Since the Skeleton is a separate piece, changing colors will be simple ( if you wanted to could even paint it! ). Sliding Mechanism was not affected at all.

Design:
Outer Screen protector
Outer Screen Protection Piece does have a taller lip and it is a little thicker but feels strong. With the taller lip I didn't find any affect or issues with comfort on the use of the screen or buttons. The finish is smooth with a rubbery feel, and yes you may find that one or two little bumps within the finish - (If you really want to remove the bumps in the finish then use 1500 or 2000 wet sand paper and very Lightly go over the bumps. Make sure to wet the paper - this will allow you to keep the finish). The tabs are located on both the top and bottom of the piece and sectioned in the middle ( view pictures above ). -- This is nice since the most common issue with cases is scratching or restriction due to the tabs being placed on each side.
Rubber Skin:
IMO - I love this! Provides protection for the phone without the possibility of the case scratching the phone itself. Both the Power and Volume buttons are covered but fit the form of the phone and require the same amount of pressure to be pushed. As for the cut outs - Match perfect- Mic, USB, Headphone, Camera, and LED, and if by chance yours does not you can also trim whatever excess you need to since its rubber.
Back Skeleton:
The back Skeleton has a very smooth finish with no bump in sight. The skeleton itself is very sturdy along with the clips located on each corner. Now the design was to set for most common point of Impact. On any phone there are 6 points - Top Left and Right Corner - Bottom Left and Right Corner - Left Side - Right Side. The Skeleton was designed around these 6 points of impact along with using the rubber skin interior as a shock absorber. The skeleton Case Wraps around on each point which in truth allows for a sturdier construction due to each point of impact being supported both by form and curvature.
I will provide pics of the phone within the case once the Camera is charged.

If you can assure me that this product 1. Does not look as rough around the edges as in the pictures on the website 2. Allows me full functionality of the keyboard (slides open *duh*, doesn't hinder ability to use top row number buttons) 3. Is durable and well made enough to justify spending $29.95 on a case, then I will glady purchase it. Question: Is there any way you could get pictures different angles of the case for example the top and bottom with keyboard open/closed, I am seriously interested as long as I can have some good information to go off of.

Any information any user provided I sent off to seidio for development of the active x case that way they can attempt a perfect case. I'm not sure but I think the color plate is switchable which would be a nice option.

Sadly ALL of the Active cases are like that.
On the Nexus and Evo active cases, the rubber has lots of extra bits, and the ports aren't perfectly cut.
On the Evo, the plastic shell doesn't fit perfectly around the rubber skin, and has a bit of a gap.
You can take a exacto blade and remove the uneven edges if you want.

That's disappointing to hear, how could they expect me to pay that amount for such bad quality? When we get some detailed pictures I will have a better idea of the quality, but until then all indicators point to a poor quality product.

Seidio is currently the best quality case out there for the epic but it ISN'T any OtterBox or even CaseMate.
The plastic exoshell on my friends Evo has been shedding since she purchased it. Little bits of plastic come off the shell just from having it in her pocket.
Seidio is not worth the price of the product, quality wise. But when there is literally nothing else on the market, what else can ya do?

how easy is the back part to remove?

Not hard at all, just grab a corner and pull away slightly and should come right off.
Still not sure I can justify paying $30 for a case vs. $2 I paid for my ebay one. I'm sure quality is very different, but I feel like the level of protection I get from my ebay one (which I guess we are referring to as the "bar" kind from that other review) is adequate enough. It feels good in the hands too. I'll wait to see pics of this when you have everything fully assembled. I'm wondering how thick it gets with 3 pieces.
Updated More pics
How much more thickness does it add. Is it still pocketable? obviously it'll be thicker but pictures and actual hands on is always a differant story. Thanks!
I want to know does it fits in the media dock?

Just a tad thicker really, add maybe 1mm if that IMO. Fits in the pocket no issue at all, and the case finger groves are perfect, ambidextrous. Also the lip around the Face Protection of the case has more depth.

Different colors to choose from.

not a fan of that color, but the design is really nice, i wonder how durable the case & stand are
Yes, I don't like the color but pretty cool design. I wish they had the same in black
The kickstand thread had the link to an ebay seller which had this and two other colors, neon friggin green and some other out there color lol. No basic black at all from the ebay seller anyways. The seller sold it for like 30usd IIRC. Too expensive for one of these types of cases IMO but for 12 bux I may get one. lol
EDIT: Got the green one and also a 'white' cover. Pretty cheap too! Will post pics and also mini first impressions when received. Most likely within a week or two.
thanks you OP. FINALLY something to contemplate. much appreciated.

Nillkin kickstand case
Just got this in today and slapped it on and took a few pics. The case is like the barely there cases with a slide out kickstand built in. The build is good for 10 bux and the green is ok. It's almost android green so it works for me LOL....
Putting on the case was like putting on the barely there case. Taking it off is the same. Now using the kickstand....well....it's a hit or miss. You can't really use it in portrait, and I am not sure it's supposed to be used that way. That's because the bottom is exposed so the curve of the phone makes it rock back and forth slightly. Now the beauty of this is the portrait mode. This works the best and most stable.
As for flipping the kickstand out, you just take the bottom part and pull straight out. And that's the easy peasy part. Just pull until you past the notch to 'lock' it in place. However, for me, to put away and fold up the kickstand is a bit of a pain. There should be some sort of press release to push the tab that initially locked the kickstand down so that the stand can fold back easy. I just press the track down and push the kickstand to fold. It's scary to do but is the best way I found to fold.
Edit: also note that this case came with a screen protector as well, but I have the HTC one on so now I have a spare if needed.
UPDATE 8/25/11: One thing I found on the Nillken case is that if you use your OEM charger which is pretty bubbly at the connection to the phone; the cable does not seat very well. However, I am using craigsdocks.com's dock and that aftermarket charger cable has no 'bubble' at the end so that seats into the case rather easily with a little filing down at the opening. Just a fyi for all who are looking at this case.
Anyway, here are the pics...

That case actually looks really nice. I'm unexpectedly a fan of the green. Might have to shell out a few bucks to get one of these (even though I just ordered the Case-Mate Tough Case).
Great pictures, kpjimmy!
That's a nice case, I like it. I thought that the green was going to be much brighter but it's a really nice color actually, I might order one just to have one around
Thanks for the review and the pictures, man.
My wife has a case just like this for her myTouch 4G except it's clear. Fits really snug to her phone and I like how it hardly adds much bulk at all.
She actually got hers directly from the tmobile store though.
--- Correction... it's actually the myTouch 4G Body Glove Protector. Looks the same though even down to the kick stand. It just has rubber sides for gripping. Take a look for yourself. http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/AddOns...4253-85e0-1bf1e4506a5e&inCart=True&catCode=-1
You notice they hardly released any cases for the sensation.

cool...nice pick
8/26/11 Update
Just to let you all know that the plug cut outs are a bit off. The volume rocker I do not care too much with, but the rocker is close to the case and not centered. But that could be just so you wouldn't accidentally hit it.
However the plug port is in fact a nuisance. I had to take out an sharp knife (exacto knife is preferred) with a small slim blade and slice away at it like cheese lol. Then filed/sanded the area a bit to smooth it out and now all my usb cords plug in fine oem or not.
Off topic a bit
Along with the kickstand case, I also got a tpu like case. Here it is listed in the market if anyone wants it for cheap.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17011817#post17011817
I purchased one of these but doubt I'll get any more.
Inside the package is a diagram of how to open the kick stand and still it was hard to pull out. Then putting it back I accidentally put a crease in the stand. It's just too hard to move in and out without damaging it. I also don't like that the case does not cover the top or bottom at all. If it had a squared off bottom it could be used for portrait mode. But the way it has nothing on the bottom, the slightest touch causes it to tip when in portrait mode. I don't even know why they show the device in portrait in their advertisements.
It's a very nice concept, but it still needs a little work to be really good.
Also, they include a lent free cloth in the package, in addition to that screen protector .
They do give you a lot for the price though.
I think it would be perfect if they used their TPU case for the body covering. (With a flat bottom for portrait.) And a kick stand that was also TPU or didn't snap so rigidly into place. So it would be a little easier to open and close the kick stand.
As for the colors, I got a golden one. It actually looks like a blend of brown and gold. The case is not as BRIGHT as the pictures. They are not as obnoxious in the actual color when you actually have one. The advertising seems to put a bright spot light on them, to make them appear brighter than they actually are.

They are not as obnoxious in the actual color when you actually have one. The advertising seems to put a bright spot light on them, to make them appear brighter than they actually are.

I tend to agree with you on this. As for the track, I have to litterally take the case off and retract the stand. Otherwise you would likely break something lol.
For the price, not too shabby. Build quality the case 4 stars, kickstand concept 4 stars, however, using it is way to difficult= 2 stars. Overall rating for me is a good 3 stars.

I just got mine and to correct the problem with the retraction while the phone is inserted, I pulled the kickstand back a little more (not much) to shave the angle piece down a little (the ridge portion) into more of a triangular shape. Now it retracts while the phone is inserted on still locks into place when pulled out.
So I was adventurous today, and decided to buy the original iPad case made by Apple to see if it works with the Touchpad. I know a lot of people have been wondering the same thing, and here's your answer: It does. The camera, bezel & home button are not blocked, and neither are all the other buttons.
*iPad 1 case, NOT iPad 2*
The case retails for $40 at Best Buy if you want to pick it up. Here's some pictures of it in action:
The case if you didn't know what it looks like:

Side view with the volume rocker:
Bottom Micro-USB slot:
Speakers: (They are covered up by the flap that holds the TP in, but simply sliding it out allows you to hear the full audio quality, even though it isn't that bad with it on)
It works great guys, and I would definitely recommend getting it.

Lol I didn't know what else to say
It looks 'loose'? You can see the rounded outter edges of the TP in the rubber border? is that how the ipad fits too!?
I bought the Griffen rubber back and it fit the same way, very loose, and if you grabbed one of the sides the rubber would almost slide off. Not a good fit (if you ask me). I'm curious if this is just specific to the cases that have the tigher fit rubber back cover, or for all cases. I'm going to pickup the Targus Truss case for the ipad and see for myself.

I see what you are saying. It's actually not loose. Compared to the iPad, its corners have a larger curve, so it gives it that look but it fits just fine.

If you have an old ipad case around then fair enough but otherwise doesn't the official HP case do the same thing but fit perfectly?

I tried using the Touchpad with the same (Apple stock) iPad case a few days ago. It does actually fit pretty securely - the gaps in the corners are a bit concerning as far as possibly letting debris into the case and scratching up the sides or back, but it did not feel like the Touchpad would fall out. For me at least, the "propped-up" mode was not very stable, at least compared to how it feels with an iPad 1 in the same case. For now, I am using the Verizon Tecnocell case and do prefer that to this one. Many Target stores have this case on clearance for $9.99 btw.
I looked at the Targus Truss, and it seems to be a quality case, though it adds a great deal of bulk to the Touchpad and is very heavy for its purpose (the case by itself is just under 1 pound). Also, the speakers are covered by the tray (for lack of a better word) that secures the Touchpad/iPad in place. The Touchpad-specific model had two speaker cutouts in that tray.
thanks for the info on the targus truss/ipad case, I did look at it at staples over the weekend, but didn't pick it up because it wad the black/teal blue one....the speakers being covered is definitely a deal breaker, guess I'll just wait for another better solution, or unit the price comes down.

iPad cases are much, much easier to find than Touchpad cases. The Apple logo on the outside cracks my ass up. I might pick one up just for that. Apple logo on the outside, Touchpad on the inside. Makes me lol.

Not everyone can get their hands on an official touchpad case, due to country/region. for example, if i have to order one, i will have to pay around 70$
I don't have to order one and they're still $70. That's how much Best Buy was selling them for a week ago. I tried to explain how it's ridiculous to pay $70 for a case that goes on a $99 device. The sales guy stared at me blankly like I was trying to explain unified field theory or something. It did not register at all.

Fair enough, didnt realise they were that rare.
Seem to be quite a few on ebay though.
Hopefully lots will turn up for sale soon as they are very good (apart from the lack of anything to keep them closed. I'm seriously thinking of adding some black elastic to mine.).
Sorry for not getting the video review done yet, I started, then my camera died and I can't find the charger. :/
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbHGqujieaE here is review I made of my Acase for touchpad I found on amazon.com
I just received a casecrown folio from Senyx on Amazon and it was made for the 1st gen iPad. The dimensions were so close I thought it would be "good enough."
I was wrong.
Apparently the TP is just a little thicker than the iPad so the rubber/silicone grommet-thingy that the tablet squeezes into is really straining to reach up the sides and it looks pretty crappy.
The corners were not bad and it was a soft material so you could work all the hardware buttons. You could close the folio and the folding cover/stand thing worked but you could clearly tell it just wasn't right.
Damn shame too because it looked great (faux reptile) and was dirt cheap.
I gave it to an employee who has the older iPad. No biggie, it was $5 total.
Now I am anxiously awaiting the case from xjarl from the other case review thread.

This acer case fits perfectly and acts as a stand. Was recommended this from the whirlpool forums.
I have the Targus one from Best Buy. It acts as a stand and has a pocket for a stylus as well. The only thing I don't like about it is you have to leave it open to have access to the port for charging.

Targus Hughes Leather Portfolio, and my Infinity
Was at the Home store / Ross yesterday with my wife and found the "Targus Hughes Leather Portfolio for the iPad" on clearance for $7 (yes - SEVEN dollars). I googled the dimensions of my Infinity and borrowed a tape measure from the clerk to measure the pocket of the case. It's close, but looked like it would work so I figured for $7 who cares if it doesn't fit. Nice magnetic closure tab too (it tucks as into a tab for a more secure fit as well). The real leather surface is amazing, and smells like my old tried and true leather jacket - mmmmmm lol. So far nothing but good things to say about the craftsmanship. Only had it for a day - so I will update my thoughts over the next week of hard daily use.
I am here to say it DOES fit. It is a tight fit but after leaving the tablet in the case overnight it is now a snug/perfect fit! The case is awesome. Check out the reviews online for it here: (Amazon)

I was looking at slip cases for my TF700T today... hoping to find one that would work well with or without the keyboard dock. I brought home this leather Targus (Staples selling it for $19), as well as a zipper closed slip case from Swiss Gear (A7) and Targus. Thought I'd compare and then return whichever I didn't like.
The leather Targus case is beautifully made -- I would have expected them to charge something more like $35 for this. No way this could ever stretch to accept the dock, so the only possibility is the tab alone. I tried it -- incredibly tight, and actually needed two of us to get the device back out of the case without risking damaging the TF700T. I had just talked myself into keeping the Swiss Gear, and returning the two Targus cases (leather one you reviewed, and the black neoprene case). Now I'm debating... If I can really loosen up the leather one enough, it really is gorgeous - especially for the money, and even at double what you paid. I can definitely see days when I'd travel or just go to meetings with the tablet itself, and then the leather case would be perfect. Other times, I'll want the keyboard and extra battery capacity from the dock... so I'd need to keep the Swiss Gear too...
Decisions!!!
I bought this one in green.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brand-New...ccessories&hash=item256c45681b#ht_5224wt_1111
Looks great, and has nice "thick" cushioning for the tab.
My sleeve is a handmade sleeve (not by me, I'll post the link at the bottom) made specifically for the Infinity. Please keep in mind that I took these shots at an impromptu time as I saw this post and I took it with a crappy camera during the cloudy morning, so although it might look a little undesirable, it really isnt.
Anyways, the sleeve has a frontal pocket specifically for the unattached dock, and both compartments are pretty snug. Even if you don't feel like constantly disconnecting the dock, the main compartment can also hold the dock+tablet. The sleeve is padded and it looks pretty too! I know you asked for a sleeve that can fit snugly without a keyboard, but I was thinking that others might be interested in this. I also don't have a keyboard (yet) so I use the pocket for other random things
What I like about this shop is that the person even accepts requests for customization. What I REALLY wanted to do was pay a little more to add two smaller, cubic pockets on the frontal keyboard pocket so I can fit smaller things like SD cards, cables, etc. but I didn't because I needed to save money (college student). You might think it's a little expensive, but it's well worth the money I spent for it. I HIGHLY recommend this sleeve. By the way, this person make sleeves for other devices as well. Enjoy!

No - at least the one I tried (same model - purchased at Staples) could not. As a matter of fact, the first time I insert the tablet (TF700T) itself in the case, it was so snug that I needed to have someone else hold the case by the edges while I found a grip on the tablet that would allow me to wiggle it out without crushing the glass -- it was that tight.
Per the OP, the case will definitely stretch, and I believe that with a bit of patience you can stretch it enough so that the tablet itself would slide in and out relatively easily. I found an old hardcover book that was a tight fit (don't want to use my $500 tablet as a leather stretching tool!) and let it sit in the case for a couple of hours, after which I found that the tablet would go in easily, and could be removed safely with one hand. Still too snug, but I imagine that overnight stretching would probably do the trick.
No way, though, that I can imagine squeezing the dock in there also. A real pity, as the case is nicely made from what appears to be nice belting leather - thick, tough but soft-surfaced, pleasant but unobtrusive smell like a leather jacket. Certainly appears classy. Too limited in application, though, for my taste. So - back it went to Staples.
Same day I tried that one I also brought home two others to try: 10" tablet sleeves (black microfiber / polyester) -- both simple padded sleeves with a single zipper across the long edge. One from Swiss Gear had excellent cushioning inside -- a rubbery material with raised bumps across the surface; another one from Targus was cheaper, but the cushioning was reminiscent of an extremely thin old-fashioned foam rubber pillow -- the Swiss Gear definitely provided more shock protection.
I wound up trying the Swiss Gear sleeve for a day, and wound up finding it really annoying to have to hold the tablet in my hand the entire time I traveled and walked around NYC. I also realized that simply holding it in my hand wouldn't really protect it if somebody in a crowded situation like that (NY - midtown, and subways) bumped into me, so I wound up holding it with my arm bent so it would trapped between my hand and bicep as I wove through crowded streets.
Hard to juggle this also if you need to stop in a public restroom, if you stop to buy a cup of coffee, etc.
By the end of the day, I realized that there was no way I'd be happy simply carrying the tablet around in a case like that. At most, I'd use the case to protect it in a briefcase, or maybe if I were about to drive somewhere and bring the tablet along.
I wound up returning all 3 cases, and have none right now. If I carry it to another appointment, for the moment I'll simply put it in a briefcase or business backpack. Still hunting for a truly usable case.
Hello everyone,
I opted away from the Logitech keyboard and picked the Samsung keyboard as I loved the looks of it .. downside .. can't find a case that would be a perfect fit to house the tab and the keyboard nicely ... any recommendations (besides going and buying the logitech or other keyboard/folio combos) will be greatly appreciated

Same thing but for the 8.4.
I've picked up a leather sleeve for under £5 on E-Bay that was originally for the Ipad Mini that I'm going to try.
I'm also looking out for a BookBook travel journal case that'll take all kinds of stuff.

Silly price IMHO but used unit cheap could be interesting.
They also seem to do cases for normal Ipads so it may be worth looking to see if there's one that would suit the 10.5?
Here is another one with a more acceptable form factor by the same maker lol

Thank you for posting this. I recently ordered the Samsung keyboard have been looking for a case. Since you have the keyboard already, do you think if I can find an ultra slim cover for the tablet, will it still work with the keyboard? As much as I like the samsung keyboard, it still leaves the tablet exposed. I would love to have some drop protection.

Unfortunately, if you are referring to the book cover or any similar design, then the answer is no. Such can accommodate only the tablet. It is really silly Samsung did not think of making a case to accomodate both if they really want to increase the sales of that keyboard[emoji46] .. anyhow I ordered the Amazon $40 one .. not the prettiest thing in the pics but gotta protect my investment [emoji1] .. will let you guys know once I get it.
FYI .. I got today that cady messenger bag .. if we thought it was not that attractive in the pics .. it is 10 times worse in real life .. ugliest thing ever to pair with our gorgeous tab .. shipping it back and the hunt is back on!

There's a 2nd hand BookBook travel Journal on E-Bay US site at the moment, item number 301426899546 but he won't post it out of the US.
I honestly think this would be the ideal size for a 8.4 with sammie Keyboard combo and if someone Stateside is willing to take the risk it would be interesting to be sure.
The listing is currently at $30 and has three days to run.

Cool. Can you post some pictures of it in use.
Based on your advice i bought the case logic ts110 from ebay for $15 new. Hope it fits perfectly on my s10.5 with samsung kbd. Did anyone find a better deal on this ts110?
As mentioned, post some picture of the Caselogic when you get it. I have tried the Snugg case I mentioned in my earlier post and it's too small. However I did stumble upon a case I had laying around the house for my wife's iPad. It's an old Verizon case. It fits but is a bit snugg. I am hoping that it loosens up a little more over time. Here are some pictures of it. They also seem to still be available on Amazon for about $4.

Attached are some pictures of the case logic TS110 with the Tab S 10.5 with keyboard. The padding is thick enough to be used as a standalone case outside the house for instance. The fit is nearly perfect with no slack on the sides and between 1/4" and 1/2" in the length direction. It has a pocket with zipper for accessories.
Guess what. I also have the Verizon case. Ordered it because it was crazy cheap but never used it. Now I tried it for the Tab S 10.5 w/kbd. As mentioned it is very tight and requires some force to slide it in. Now I am not sure if I will be able to get my tab back out.
In summary for outside the house I recommend the TS110. For inside the house a basic $5 neoprene sleeve might suffice. Or the Verizon one if you can get it to loosen up a bit.

Hello everyone,
I opted away from the Logitech keyboard and picked the Samsung keyboard as I loved the looks of it .. downside .. can't find a case that would be a perfect fit to house the tab and the keyboard nicely ... any recommendations (besides going and buying the logitech or other keyboard/folio combos) will be greatly appreciated

hey man yea i bought a kensington universal wireless keyboard and and case (if you get it make sure you get the latest 1) battery lasts for ever on the board which is a mega bonus think ive charged it once since ive had it, as u can see its got a Velcro holder and the rubber corners really are perfect it, fits nice and tight with all tabs hence UNIVERSAL so threes no tablet coming loose at all it also comes with smaller rubber corners for your smaller tablets the key board is also fixed with magnets and it has a very nice feel like a really good solid build with no shaky keys and weighs nothing at all, when you close it you pull over the elasticated fabric to seal it nicely, highly recommend this case and keyboard i think you can get it for around 50£ off amazon, i use it with a galaxy tab s 10.5,, rooted with, cf-autoroot THANK YOU CHAIN FIRE!!!!
I soon will be looking for a case that fit both. Any recent user/buyer please comment.
If you want a lightweight case, get this: http://www.amazon.com/Reiko-Premium-Horizontal-Tablet-HP957-IPADBK/dp/B003N39QO2/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1443749565&sr=1-1&keywords=Reiko+Premium+Horizontal+Tablet+Pouch+for+All+iPad
I don't have any pictures of this but can try to take some and post tomorrow. It is really nice and great for the price. Will be tight an extremely tight fit at first. I simply stuffed it with some magazines and cardboard to stretch it out a bit. Now it's perfect. Do not think it will fully protect the Tab from a fall, but definitely from dings and scratches while carrying it around. Also looks classy. Available in a few different colors on Amazon. Highly recommend.
I found the perfect sleeve case to fit my 8.4 with keyboard cover together. I am also considering the book cover for when I am not using the keyboard case. Do you think it is overkill?

For the 10.5 with keyboard cover, try the 11.6" laptop sleeve.
