The amazon case is the best i've seen. I know they are expensive but well worth it. Very good quality and auto wake/sleep function.
Contact Poetic cases off of amazon. They make killer cases and even copies of the official amazon case for about 20 percent of the price. Great warranty and excellent customer service.

Looks like they get 'em coming in on 11/22 according to amazon website. I'm in for 1. We'll see what it looks like.
Thanks, I just bought a poetic case for my wife's 7 but do not see them for the 8.9
Do you have a link for what you see coming on 11/22?

Hmph, I know I searched for poetic cases 8.9, and frankly, assumed the first one up was poetic, but obviously I didn't read it carefully enough. But here's what's in my card:

+1 I got an Amazon branded case with my KFHD89 purchase and it's very nice. Makes volume/power button access much easier and the magnetic power on power off feature is nice.

Changed my mind, went with the amazon case. Works great, fits well, love it.
http://www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/B0098QIBSU?tag=adapas02-20
I am thinking about getting the Ionic case, I got the EEEKit one the other day and it's nice though the KFHD89 fits slightly lose in it.
http://www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/B009SJK720?tag=adapas02-20
I ended up changing my mind, and going with the stock amazon case.
I'm not really liking it though. Fit is very nice, but when the cover is opened all the way against the back of the tablet, and you're holding it, the edges of the case are kind of "sharp", and dig in, at least the way I hold it.
It looks nice, but I'm not 100% sure I'd recommend it to anybody.

Unfortunately it is a knockoff of the Case Crown, also sold on Amazon. It has one flaw (major) and one minor one for me. First, the Kindle is housed in the case UPSIDE DOWN! Didn't know there was an upside down? Shut you Kindle .9 down. reboot with the camera on your right side. Notice that the icon comes up upside down? !!! No big deal? You will find ESPN and Dish (slingbox) to name a couple In the instant of the Case Crown, you can rotate the holder 180 degrees so that the .9 is held correctly. Unfortunately that defeats the magnetic On off feature. The case is MUCH larger than the Amazon case making it just a tad more difficult for those of us who do not have extra large mitts to hold it in one MITT for an extended period of time. The added bulk and weight was just not my cup of (bourbon), Tea.
I sent my Case Crown back last week right after the Kindle case arrived. The Amazon case is expensive I think, could have at least had Plush leather and the sharp ridges on the right side of the case fall just where my thumb sets. but then, it's the only game in town at the moment.

Addition to my last note on the .9 Case alternatives. ANY bifold case will set the Fire, be it 7" OR 8.9" upside down in the case.
The Amazon case is pretty much the only one that puts the camera towards the spine of the case. Its only really an issue if you have to hold the spine on the left. Open it with the spine on the right and everything is dandy. I think of it more a design flaw with the kindle than the case makers. They also decided to put the power port on the bottom when setup in landscape mode (like most folks will use for extended viewing, or using with a keyboard, etc. Some of the trifold cases get the ports off the ground a bit more where you might be able to squeeze the power in, but its something to look for when buying if that's important to you.
I have this one from Poetic http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AAKLJ8C/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00
9 bucks and it's perfect to me.

All i see are pouch and folio type of cases, hoping more choices come out soon.
What i miss is the black $10 TPU case w/ kickstand i got on eBay for my original Tab - i wish there was an identical one for the 7 Plus. It won't fit the 7 Plus as the 7 Plus is slightly longer. Thinner is nice w/ the 7 Plus, but I feel like i can more easily lose grip of it compared to the original Tab.
I have a few kickstand accessories i got for my old Tab, but they're not as convenient as a little fold out stand that comes out of the case it's always in.
For now, i took some carbon fiber vinyl covering i had left over from covering my laptop and covered the back of the Tab, then i shaved the back off an extra case i had for my Droid RAZR and stuck it to the back of the 7 Plus w/ double-sided automotive tape. So now i have a kickstand that folds out of the back of it.
The RooCase people inform me that they will have a pretty nice case out for our GTab 7+ around the end of December exactly modeled after the A100 case. Had one for the A100 and it was quite nice. Functional and well-built. The Executive Portfolio model here. Leather is good and the screen frame is securely velcroed. Got it for about $35. I plan on snagging one.

Update: woops sorry i didnt realize that you werent looking for folio cases. Anyway, i ordered a skinomi black carbon fiber protection made for this tab. Unfortunately, i havent received the item yet after 2 weeks of waiting. Im having a very bad experience wit them right now. 3 days after i ordered i made a followup, they told me that they had just processed and shipped my order. I was thinking if i hadnt emailed them, they wouldve neglected my order. Anyway, benefit of the doubt, fine. I waited 10 days nothing was happening on the tracking number. I emailed again earlier to followup and voila! The shiiping just started! What the hell is wrong with those people!

Mine just arrived. I put it on and it's setting. If I have time tonight, I'll post more thoughts and pics.
Got my poetic case last night. i'll put pics up today after i get off of work, but i like it. It has cutouts for nearly everything. The only piece that does not have a cutout is the IR transmitter which is easy enough to fix. It has a nice magnetic closure, and the flap to hold the tablet in has velcro which my similar case for the transformer did not have. All cutouts line up reasonably well, the front microphone and camera are not perfectly centered, but that can be attributed to how far i shoved the tab into the case.
Overall i rate it 8/10, its going to be the case I use for the foreseeable forture, the price is great, and the shipping was fast.
(will add pics later today)

Yeah my issue with Skinomi was resolved by their manager. Anyway, the carbon fiber skin looks great and the screen protector is smooth. There's a little bit of protruding skin on all 4 corners because they only designed two pieces for the sides that go from top center to bottom center (left and right pieces). It's not a big deal actually but the pointed corners poke my skin sometimes.
It's a folio case, but I'm interested in seeing more about this incipio T-mo offers: http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/phones...-phone=Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-7.0-Plus-4G-Prepaid
I'm glad I found this thread. I've been looking for a case too. I heard back from otterbox CS and they said they have no plans on making a case for the 7+. I'm waiting to hear back from case mate.

!!!CHECK TWO POSTS BACK FOR tHE LINK, NEW POSTER AND CAN'T POST LINKS YET!!!
Also VERY interested in T-Mobile's Incipio folio case. I have looked at the limited number of cases currently available and they all look pretty bulky. Especially since one of the main features of the Galaxy 7 Plus is how incredibly thin it is. The Incipio case looks pretty thin and form-factor (from what I can tell.
Anyone have experience or seen this case in person??? I have called a number of T-Mobile store here in NYC and none carry the case (most don't even have the Galaxy 7 Plus at all).
Thanks!

I have been searching for cases for days, and i got my + relatively early. Just so you guys know, many of the folio cases for the original Gtab will fit the +. However cutouts will be incorrect for headphone jack, IR, and camera a bit offcenter. I hate folio cases and just want a plastic/gel snap on for the back w kickstand.
I purchased the T-Mobile Incipio case and it fits great. It was a little pricey at $50.00 but there werent many options. They were having a "buy two accessories get the third one free" promotion so I also bought the screen protector and an extra charging cable.

Any chance you could post a few pictures of your tab in the case? None of the T-Mobile stores in my area have it, so I need to get it online. I'd really like at least a semi-decent look at what I'm getting before I pull the trigger and purchase one.
I think its a good fit. The sim card slot and sd card slot are covered but I rarely need access to them.

In other news, roocase now has some 7.0 Plus cases: http://www.roocase.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-7e0-Plus/cat-l/c103881.html
For those that like the protection of something like an otterbox or seidio. I highly recommend this case as I had one on my Nook Color and it took a beating like a champ. I'm likely picking up a used 8.9 LTE shortly and this will be the first thing I add to it.

Dude, I'm all about getting thing without spending a lot of money if I can. Found the trident I posted for $33 at mobile-stop so not as much as above. For my piece of mind I just have to have a case that can be dropped without worry. I have a tpu on my galaxy tab 2 7.0 right now cause that's just the best I could find. It was awesome that it was only a couple bucks but I don't feel like it's gonna protect it *when* an accident happens (cause they always do).

Yeah, the one I got has next to no shcok rating, I really got it to keep it from getting all scratched up and stuff. The Trident one looks alot more hardcore form a protection standpoint
Can anyone confirm that the trident case can also be used as a stand..... It seems like that is all the trident case is missing.
Sent from my HTC ThunderBolt using Tapatalk 2
Nope, no stand. Just received my case today and really like it. The initial install is frustrating, aligning the ports and all, but overall feels really good in the hands. Don't bother with the included screen protector, to the touch, smooth. If you use a stylus, it grabs.
Would anyone like to purchase my red Trident case for the 8.9? I am positive I was asked to buy the red case but am now being told differently. You know how that goes.
Price would be $30 including shipping (within the US). I'll then be turning around and purchasing another color directly after. Thanks!
Forgot to mention I will gladly trade with someone with another color Trident case. It can be used or new as long as it is not very worn looking. I will pay shipping both ways. Thanks for considering.
Picked up a trident case with a spider podium tablet stand. Very happy with my purchase.

I got this case as well and its very nice overall. I don't have the issue with the case mot holding the device firm, but also got the email from Poetic that they are sending a second case anyway. Nice to have two cases for 6 bucks.
I just got this case, it feels pretty cheap but it's worth the $7 and some change that I paid. I have no issues of the device not fitting or being loose inside the case. FYI, The bottom two grips are looser by design so the device can swing out and angle itself on the case.
I know they should be looser, poetics on every tablet I own. What should happen is it shouldn't just pop out when you are holding it on the opposite side of the binding. I don't even squeeze it and it pops out. Trust me poetic is/was my favorite budget case, I looked for it as soon as the kindle arrived.

Poetic sent me an updated version of the case for free. From what I can tell, it has better grips to hold on the body of the Kindle.

Hi Guys,
You guys are always so helpful to me so I decided to review some cases for the Kindle Fire HD that my wife and I bought. We stuck with Poetic because I had them on other devices and never had issues and they lasted the equipments entire lifespan. These are my first attempts at video reviews, not really a camera or talking guy lol. Anyways hope this helps you make an informed decision. Here ya go:
POETIC HARDBACK CASE
http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Protec...9157376&sr=8-2&keywords=poetic+kindle+hd+case
VIDEO REVIEW:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27XLg7zxJPU
About 10 days ago I wrote a post about an issue with some of the cases being sold on Amazon. Well once Poetic read my post, they contacted me. They have now revised their Poetic Hardback Case and it works flawlessly. The corners hold tightly onto the Kindle HD and there is no concern that the Kindle HD may slip out. There are a few other brands in this thread that I have purchased that had similar flaws in the design. I have to give some props to the people at Poetic for taking care of the issue so fast. I still have a carbon fiber poetic hardback case on the original fire and its in great shape.
The wake and sleep feature on the case work great. The clip that holds the cover onto the Kindle HD was tight on the old version as well as the other brands I tried. The new revised edition while still holding the Kindle securely, doesnt feel as though I am damaging my tablet every time I close the case as with other cases. The case seems to add protection, of course it isnt a Otterbox, so dont go throwing it around. But it should be sufficient for many types of oops moments that we know we all have.
POETIC SLIMBOOK CASE
http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Automa...9157376&sr=8-8&keywords=poetic+kindle+hd+case
VIDEO REVIEW:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnWL0thtVng
So this brings me to the Slimback case. My wife just got this case in today. After she saw the great communication from Poetic and how quickly they fixed any issues, she knew that she wanted to stay within the Poetic brand. The case is made from a similar leather type material. Feels good to the touch. Same type of felt lines the inside of the case to protect the screen. As an added bonus, there are slots on the inside of the cover that all you to store your credit cards or business cards in them, similar to a wallet. The cover is held shut by a magnet, and the wake and sleep function works great. The stand also puts the kindle at a perfect angle if you are seated, or even if you are just chilling in your bed watching a movie or youtube vid.
The best part of the case is this. My wife had a similar case for her original Kindle that let her tablet constantly move in, the type that you slide the kindle into the case and it secures it in with a flap. This case is awesome in that regard. There is no wiggle room or play with the kindle hd once in the case. It holds it put, doesnt allow it to slide around. It is a little tight sliding it in, but once its there, its not moving. If you guys have any questions, just ask. I am hoping to get a video review up once my PC is fixed. Thanks
Thanks. Added cases and review to my Master Accessories Thread. Once you get a YT video up please come back and post it! Thanks.

Yes, jay above you had it already and he hates it. It's kinda of a touchy subject with him lol. But I never bought a surface case for my devices because I hated the way they have to put on. Kinda like taking off sweats before a shower after working out lol.
But I have active cases for my Sensation, which is my wife's phone now, my Nexus 7 and before the N7 I had one for my Kindle Fire. They are all well made. Even though there's a chemical smell like it was fresh off the mold lol, it dissipates within a weeks time.
I for one can't wait for the Active combo. I love the holsters as well. Right now I am using a Gnex Seidio Surface holster with my diztronic ultra thin shell and it works, but doesn't seat to my satisfaction.

But I have active cases for my Sensation, which is my wife's phone now, my Nexus 7 and before the N7 I had one for my Kindle Fire. They are all well made. Even though there's a chemical smell like it was fresh off the mold lol, it dissipates within a weeks time.
I for one can't wait for the Active combo. I love the holsters as well. Right now I am using a Gnex Seidio Surface holster with my diztronic ultra thin shell and it works, but doesn't seat to my satisfaction.

FYI, The surface holster for the Nexus 4 works with pretty much any TPU case. I tried it with the I-Blazon and the Diztronic, and both work great. If you nee to go "thin" but want to use a holster, it does work.
Woohoo, finally

Yay they are shipping but not the white one! (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻)
Well I'm definitely not buying any case that doesn't allow for QI wireless charging!

Thanks, I did get the Surface holster only for the N4 and currently using it with the XDA cruzerlite case. Looks great! I can take a pic if anyone would like.

Sadly yes, the Active does not allow it for wireless charging. But I intend to use the Active case on travel. Being it airplane or train, I will be using the kickstand on those trips. And when I am traveling, I am not bringing any of my wireless chargers, so wireless charging would be a moot point.
For day to day use, I use the Cruzerlite XDA case at this point with the Surface holster, so I am good at this point.
A lot of people here might not like to hear me say it but the active can mess up your phone. Not the actives fault... I'd say its the crappy chrome bezels fault. Its pretty easy to get particles under the silicone on this case. It has great impact protection but I did get some scuffs on the bezel above the speaker after using it a week straight. Also somehow the magnet from the kickstand or something with the case pug some strange hazing that won't go away on my rear wet apply screen protector. Something to watch out for. The marks are square in shape etc. I'm hoping it will go back to normal after some time but it doesn't I can just buy a new screen protector for the back. Back to tpu with the surface holster for now.

I have to clarify my last point. The marks on the screen protector go away after a few hours out of the case.

Embedded for your pleasure.
Anyone have experience with a Ballistic Shell Gel case on a previous phone? I know it isn't available for the N4 yet but I'm torn on getting that or the Seidio Active. I don't care much for the kickstand so that's not a huge deal for me. I'm also guessing the Ballistic case won't allow wireless charging either since it looks like it has similar construction/thickness to the Seidio Active.
I think it's the metal kickstand that prevents the charging, not the extra thickness.

Comparing my ballistic galaxy nexus to the nexus 4 with active, the ballistic is much thicker! The silicone on the ballistic is thicker and so is the hard plastic. You need the convert holster if you want to use a holster with the ballistic. I have no doubt it will be an awesome case but it will not let you wireless charge.
