Im looking into purchasing a leather case, but im curious if the magnet in the case can have any effect on the phone? Especially the ones in the cheap cases.
like this one... ( i cant post link)
so type
Leather Case Skin for Samsung Galaxy S Epic 4G Sprint in the ebay search box and it should come up.
If anyone has any recommendations for other leather cases please let me know. Also feel free to share your experiences with leather cases.
Thank You

Havent had a problem, use a leather magnetic case from eddie bauer that I found at Best Buy mobile.
Does anybody have or use the Seidio leather case for the epic? Just wondering how well it fits the phone or how well the phone slides in and out of it. Also how easily can the magnet be clamped and unclamped while not looking at it.
I bought the bestsources (seller's name, not necessarily a description, though I've had good experiences with them ) case -- I had one for my Touch Pro, one for my N900, and now one for my Epic when it gets here.
In the meantime, I'm using the N900's case for it. Fitting, since I usually used the Touch Pro's case for the N900... :/ I wonder if I'm even going to use the Epic's case.
The magnet hasn't caused any problems at all with the Epic that I've noticed.

The leather case is designed to fit a bare device so it will slide in/out smoothly, The magnet is pretty strong but works fluently with the case.
The magnet does not affect the phone.
I bought a leather holster at the Sprint store today actually.
It has a magnet, but it is not near as strong as some of the ones I have had in the past, but it still holds the flap strong against the case.
This particular case even has the Galaxy S logo etched into the metal in the middle of the flap - yeah its sexy.
$34 at Sprint, and since its Galaxy S Branded, I think it's a good deal.
The EVO 3d I'm using as a temp while I wait for my 4 is small enough to comfortably put in my pocket. My Note 2 was not. and the 4 is bigger...
I have been a fan of the Seido Surface cases in the past but the one weak point is the belt clip.
I've broken so many of them that it's ridiculous. I went through 4 holsters in 2 years on my Note 2 alone.
And I do not even want to add up the holsters on prior phones..
I need something metal that can take a small bump. I'd like a semi thin case like the surface but the holster has to be strong.
Can anyone recommend a sturdy clip on holster case?
Have you thought of moving to a leather holster case? I was in the same boat until I went to a leather combo with a metal clip.

I have tried some holster cases but they were either to clumsy to retrieve and store from quickly , or the clips were terrible like the rest.
Since I have never owned an Otter box I cant speak factually, but they have always seemed so bulky and the poly clip looks the same as the rest. Are the clips actually more durable compared to say the Seido clips?
There pretty much the same I've broke a few Otterbox's also….. Check out Turtleback Holster Leather Case fits Samsung Galaxy Note 3 without a Protective Case, interior fits 5 7/8" X 3 1/4" X 3/4" https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00I9LM2VW/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_zlcnub0RDDPV2
Although they're not yet released Seidio has several models available w/ holster.
http://www.seidioonline.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-4-s/9431.htm
I love the Seidio case/holster combos! (Specifically the Surface with Holster) My past two phones, however, have been the slip case/holster combo sold in the Verizon store for around $24.95. The reason I went with those is two-fold: It was available right away when I purchased the phone, and it is just slim and protective enough that it doesn't make my large phone into a gargantuan phone.
My Note2 in either an otterbox defender or trident aegis case lives in one of these. It's quite adjustable. Normally I have the retention strap removed unless I know I'm going to be in odd locations and I think it may fall out, though I'd have to be upside down for that to happen, but I've found myself in that position for work sometimes... I've broken every plastic clip from three different vendors, so this was the strongest holster I could find. Pretty sure I'll break before it does.

What is the lanyard/cord for at the top? It looks easily removable but wondering what purpose it serves.

These are actually made for two way radios like military and police carry, so the strap is to keep it in place.

That link doesn't state it's for a Note 4 but the fact that it's a preorder leads me to believe it is although when you navigate to the Note 4 page on Seidio's website almost everything states "under development".
http://www.seidioonline.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-4-s/9431.htm
Other thing is Best Buy sells a comparable case made for them by Seidio for $20 less but they don't have them in stock yet. BB calls it a Platinum Series.

Yes, I missed that. Since it's not on the Note 4 page do you know if they have a release date for the Convert Combo somewhere on their website?

I have no idea. Maybe someone can give them a call or shoot over a email asking about the convert cases for the note. I'm more into slim type cases because I think it just looks more clean and I don't like the extra bulk, I usually don't drop my phones.

I called them last week and they said there was no ETA for the Convert combo. I noticed the Surface has the release date on Seidio's Note 4 webpage and I look at it daily so I'm hoping the Convert combo gets a release date soon.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MP3OWVI/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3RZJ9YYQ3ASDK
If it doesn't I'm going to order the above case as it's the only one I could find with covers for the mini USB, S Pen & headphone ports with a holster but it doesn't have a kickstand. Amazon shows an ETA of 10-27 in my shopping cart so I'm holding off ordering it hoping the Seidio will become available in that time frame.
Now the other problem with the Seidio is apparently no one offers a tempered glass screen protector that covers the flat portion of the screen without the halo effect.

I was looking at the supcase also but it's the bulk that bugs me.. The note is already a big phone... I'll be using this ebay case plus clip until I get a seidio.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Black-B.../371164711314?ssPageName=ADME:L:eek:U:US:1120
Not really a bad case... Just needed a belt clip for my note cuz I carry 2 phones, cigarettes, lighter, Chapstick, keys and wallet on me all the time lol. The only flaw with the ebay one is that it's not very pretty, but I'll choose that over a bulky case any day.

I've got to get something soon as I'm deathly afraid of dropping this expensive phone and damaging it. Actually I wouldn't have minded waiting another month or so to get the phone so I could have had the case beforehand but the $200 trade in deal was too good to pass up. A case with button covers is much easier for me to use too as I'm always accidentally touching the side buttons and I can grip the phone better.
Hey folks, I'm putting the TAB S 8.4" behind a dashboard and need to find a hard case which will be used to help "permanently" mount the Tab.
Could someone with experience recommend the slimmest, Tight Fitting hard case?
Like, I can pick it up by the case, shake it around like mad and it wouldn't fall out. But the case is still as slim as possible?
Hi.
I have the 10.5" and i bought an case from ebay for a few £ and my tablet just clips in and it does not really add any bulk, they also sell the 8.4" version see if you can get it from your local ebay.

I bought this on for my Tab S 8.4. I does not have a cover though but I like it a lot. Very slim fitting and affordable.
Also its not really hard, but slightly flexible TPU.
Not sure if it would work for what your doing.

Thanks, John. It's a nice looking case but I think I'd need the bezel to fit all the way around my phone, not just at the edges.

I just received this one. It is quite thin (much thinner than the Roocase Origami and the official case. It lacks magnets to hold the case closed (but it does wake/sleep).

I found this motomo case while looking for a case for my tab. Not sure if its available in your region but my dad has it for his iphone and it's a pretty slim design. Matte rubber all around with an aluminum back plate.

You could probably rip off the cover, which looks to be held on with glue.
I have this case, which fits very tight. Its only $7. You can cut off the cover and peel away the fabric material. The Khomo is thinner, but the plastic looks flimsier.
I use the Samsung book cover and it is the thinner around. Normally $60 now in At&t store for $5. They also have the tempered glass protector, again normally $60 and now also $5.
Hi everyone,
for months now I've tried to find a sleeve (soft pouch w/zipper) that isn't either too small or much to large for a Galaxy TabS 10.5 tablet to no avail. I've already ordered and sent back about a dozen of sleeves from vaious online retailers (some even with the explicitly stated guarantee that they fit the tablet, including a slim cover, like a glove - they didn't ) to no avail. I'm still carrying it around in an old belkin sleeve for an iPad3 with a broken zipper (which is out of production), just because I can't find any other sleeve with the correct measuments (inside pouch must be 25.1 centimeters by 18.2 centimeters by 1.3 centemeters, not smaller, and not much larger either).
Has anyone found such a thing? I thought the Galaxy tablets are rather common devices, but I had less problems to find a sleeve for a PIPO tablet my brother owns, than for this one. :crying:
Cheers, Pit.
I have mine in an Unicorn Beetle Pro Full-Body Protective Case, and then i have it in a black zip-up hard case that i bought for an ereader years ago, and it`s a nice tight fit.
Fitting an hard-case to your 10.5" gives your tablet a larger size so it will be a tighter fit in some of the loose cases, though if you are into light rather than protection this is most likely not for you, Tip (cut out the crap built in screen protector and use your favourite one)
supcase often do discount codes, do a search and see what you can find.

I second Tinderbox's recommendation. I have the same case for my T700 and it's amazing; with the exception of the built-in screen protector. I mean, it has protected my screen, BUT the protector itself is so scratched up that it isn't very transparent anymore and that's just for normal use.

I have a T800 and use a Poetic flip open sleeve and it is light super thin and fits perfectly with all cutouts. I also used a Poetic on a tab 10.1
Here is mine and it's a tank.

I have a tempered glass protector on top made by Skinomi perfect fit then grabbed an otter box cheap off amazon, popped out the screen protect on the otter box so i have tempered glass protect the screen otter box around the rest
its pretty well protected and have crystal clear screen and protection. I also removed the tablet stand stuff from the hard plastic cover and put a thin sheet of foam in it so can click that on for sticking in laptop bag or on the go for added protection while traveling its like fort knox no pun intended on the knox thing.
Picked up the SM-P580 for my 6 year old this past week.. Curious to see what case everyone likes or is using with theirs -- I picked up a relatively cheap ProCase off of Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Gala...id=1511708748&sr=8-7&keywords=sm-p580+procase and it is just ok --- Since this Tablet has been around for quite awhile was hoping to get some thoughts on what you guys liked.. Thanks..
Cases are a hit or miss with the Galaxy Tab A 10.1 with S Pen (P580) and without S Pen (T580). There are a limit amount of accessories for these models.
You probably want a Mignova Heavy Duty Hybrid Protective Case with Build In Kickstand, since you're letting your kid use your tablet: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06Y15M2VP/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It will help you reduce the damage if he or she drops it. Don't rely on the included screen protector because its garbage. There are identical ones with different brand name, but they are all the same. All made in China. Some are cheaper while others are more expensive so make sure you pick the cheapest price and it's designed for the one with the S pen.
Also, the model without the S Pen (T580) is a smaller tablet. They aren't the same size as the model with the S Pen (P580).
Infiland Galaxy Tab A 10.1 with S Pen Case, Smart PU Leather 360 Degrees Rotating Stand Case Cover for Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 with S pen P580:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M65L2XX/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This one is okay, but the 360 degree rotating stand is flimsy. It only stays in place if you just watch a video on your tablet. If you plan to use it while its in vertical or horizontal mode, it often falls down.
ProCase Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 Case without S Pen
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FVLUDAO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
If I had this case for the one with a S Pen, the screen flaps are annoying and cover a small portion of the screen in all directions. For a tablet without the S Pen, it's manageable. Good build quality. Thicker case than Infiland leather case. You got to take the tablet out to access your mSD card.
Samsung Book Cover for Tab A 10.1” with S Pen, Black or White
https://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/m...tab-a-10-1--with-s-pen--black-ef-bp580pbeguj/
Right now, it's 50% off for $25 but normally for $50. If you missed the sale, you can get cheaper ones on Ebay as used or open-box.
Out of all the cases I have including the Pro Case for the T580, the Samsung Book Cover is the best one for the Tab A 10.1” with S Pen (P580). The only con aside from drop protection is that you can't use it in vertical mode because the magnets only hold the tablet in two horizontal angles. Easy to take off and put the book cover on. Easy access to your micro-SD card slot. No raised screen case hinge to interfere with my hand when I'm writing on it. The magnets are strong and hold in place with I use it.
I was thinking of getting a keyboard case, but I discovered there's no official Samsung Keyboard case. There are 3rd party Chinese manufacturer keyboard cases, but they are a hit-or-miss too with build quality and user experience.
Thanks for all the info Baja --good stuff..
I just got this one for my SM-T580 and it fits great.
It's not cheap, but it's worth a bit of extra cash.
I did take the screen protector out because I don't like them, but otherwise it's a great case.
