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.

Poetic case is good for the price http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006DKEUL6
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.

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.

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.
*Updated 9JAN13 last paragraph*
I wanted to take a moment to give review of the Poetic Slimbook Case for the Nexus 4. Their is already a general discussion thread concerning this case located: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2006671. In contrast to the general discussion thread, I wanted to compare the Poetic case to the other possible flip cover option made by Nillkin.
General Description:
The Poetic Slimbook has a smooth textured leather type exterior that feels good to the touch. It is black in color with white stitching. The case has a solid feel and the clasp uses a magnet to keep the case closed. The front cover can hold three credit cards as well as an opening for cash or larger items. Additionally the front cover is reinforced to ensure it retains its shape even when stuffed full. The phone is held in place using a plastic molded holder. This holder has no padding, but does do the job of retaining your phone. The holder is adhered to another reinforced leather type back. The back has cut outs for camera as well as speaker. You have access to your phone's power button when the case is closed. To ensure access to the volume buttons with the case closed Poetic replaced leather on the interior edge with a felt type material.
Price: Currently $10.95 at http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Slimbo...55313&sr=8-1&keywords=poetic+slimbook+nexus+4
The Nillkin case is a stark contrast to the Poetic Slimbook. Nillkin designed this case to be slim and premium. First off it should be noted that this case comes with a front and rear screen protector. I would compare the quality to my Clarivue clear screen protector that I already reviewed on XDA. The case is amazingly thin. Seriously it is as thin as my s-line tpu case. The feel in the hand is very solid and it has a ton of grip. The phone also snaps into a plastic molded holster. The difference is that the plastic holster is a little thicker and has the textured leather backing applied directly to it. The flip cover has a smooth textured felt lining and sits completely flat along the front. It does not have a tendency to flop open when not intended. The front has a cut out for the front speaker. The back has cut outs for the camera as well as rear speaker.
Price: $16.99 (US Seller) at http://www.ebay.com/itm/370717427970?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649.
Comparison:
First I will tell you I did take the time to use both of these cases for a few days before I posted this review. From initial impressions I thought the Nillkin case was a clear winner. It is amazingly thin and feels better than any other case I have ever owned. I love that it has a cut out for the front speaker and I can confirm that it works well closed while on phone calls. Another great feature about the Nillkin case is that it does work with my Energizer Qi charger. The Poetic does not. I can say is that I was shocked how much I liked the Poetic case once I tried is out as my daily. It is extremely convenient to have my cash, credit cards, ID card and drivers license all in one thin location. Fully loaded the Poetic case felt firm, well built and fantastic! I carried mine with 5 bills folded in half. I placed my drivers license in the back large pocket with the cash. I then used 2 credit card slots. It was about an inch thick. I found that if you place 3 cards in the front the case bulges substantially. I would expect this to improve as the case breaks in. I did not have a problem with the magnet keeping the case closed. I would recommend having a front screen protector on when using this case. The credit cards sit directly on the screen.
One thing I found interesting was that I was not able to actually change my volume with the Poetic case closed. It was a combination of not being able to find the buttons, and also the material being to stiff. In contrast I was able to press the volume buttons with the Nillkin case closed. This is not an advertised feature, but it worked well. Another design feature I found to be particularly helpful was the clasp on the Poetic case. When I set the case on a flat surface with the face up the clasp actually leaves enough of a gap underneath to prevent the muffling of the speaker. I know this was not by design, but I did find it helpful.
Which to choose?
When I bought my Poetic case it was $4.95. At that price I would say to without a doubt get both cases. When I am wearing my work uniform I like the Poetic. With jeans on I like the Nillkin. Now that the price is over $10.00 for the Poetic, it is much harder to justify. I paid a little more for the Nillkin case because I wanted it before I left for vacation. I still think it is worth the $16.99 price. Over the next few weeks as more sellers start to sell the Nillkin case I would actually recommend buying the $19.99 actual leather (smooth textured) Nillkin case. It would have the same design with a little higher material choice for a minimal price increase. If you wear loose clothes and can manage the size of the Poetic case it is extremely convenient (or use a back pocket if your ego can handle it). I would just wait for a price drop. If you like minimal bulk and want the screen protected the Nillkin is a great choice.
Please let me now if you would like any different pictures. Hit the thanks if this helped.
*Update* I wanted to give a quick update on the poetic case. I just finished using this case during a 10 day vacation in Hawaii. The poetic case was my daily. It went with me to every corner of Oahu from hikes to dinners to boat cruises, this case was it. I wanted to test the durability of the case as far as wear and break in as well as the strength of the plastic holder. I took the phone out at lease 2 times a day in my condo.
This case is amazing. While the nillkin case is starting to show wear and dirt the poetic case can hold more, and lies even more flat. I carried: 5-6 bills folded, 4 ID's, 1-2 credit cards at all times. This case always remained closed and lied as flat as it did with much less during my initial review. It folds back on itself very well for phone calls and the plastic phone holder is showing no sign of wear. I will post more details when I get back from the airport.
This looks awesome. Thank you for the link. Looking forward to your impressions on the case.

Ooooh, a comparison
If I had cash to blow I'd just buy this on top of my usual TPU case. Sorta want the hard leather one too cause it seems more protective. If anyone gets either cases please do a short review on the defensive capabilities of those cases. Interested in these cause it gives a little defense for the screen too.

That's a lot of naked time.

This appears to be the case that Poetic sent me as recompense for not having my hard case done yet. So far, it's a pretty decent case. A little slippery on the matte portions, however. And it's not as clean and tight a fit as I'd like (I notice it bowing a bit near the volume rocker). Worth the price (free) that I paid for it, however.
did they stop selling them on amazon?
yes, they pulled them, probably from complaints
just look at the reviews
Spigen quality has gone down since I last remember them.
I ended up returning two cases for the LG g2 which scratch so easily, and looking at the reviews of the Note 4 cases I see nothing has changed
My tough armor case seems decent but I'm glad I didn't get any others.
I've noticed that I have some small scratches on my bezel after using my neo hybrid.

My sob story:
Had my Spigen Neo Hybrid on order since September 25th or so. Noticed around Oct 18 they were in stock on Amazon, shipping, and 4 bucks less (but mine still didn't ship). Complained and Amazon sent Spigen a msg for me asking for $4 refund. It ships next day but no refund. Not even a reply from Spigen.
I finally receive it around Oct 22 and get my phone on the 23rd. As soon as I realize I can't make calls because it covers my mic (Verizon) I take pictures and send a message to them. Almost a week later they send me a canned response saying they are redesigning the TPU.
Decide to return it on the 25th and Spigen denies return due to "outside return window". Huh? I ordered in September but they didn't ship for a month (until I had to bug them about it) and they deny my return. I filed a claim with Amazon and Amazon immediately gave me a refund in Amazon credit, no questions asked.
I will never, ever buy another Spigen product.

It said if I chose Amazon gift card I would have it in my account in 3 hours. It took about an hour. If you choose refund to your credit card they have to go back to the seller and it can be days.

I finally receive it around Oct 22 and get m.
Decide to return it on the 25th and Spigen denies return due to "outside return window". Huh? I ordered in September but they didn't ship for a month (until I had to bug them about it) and they deny my return. I filed a claim with Amazon and Amazon immediately gave me a refund in Amazon credit, no questions asked.

In had the exact same issue. Took them a month to ship the case, I used the case for ten days, could not take the flimsy stand, and the poor hear rate monitor cutout on my tough armor. I requested a refund 10 days after receiving it. Spigen denied my claim for being outside the return window. I guess, don't ever pre order a spigen case as the warranty/return date starts from the actual order date, not the date the item is received (even though they ship super slow mail).
Amazon refunded my payment as a gift card (after filing a claim), although it hasn't shown up yet in my account.
amazon seem to have started stocking them in the UK store.
Good, hopefully they will get the design correct before they start dumping them on the public again.
Kick stand is horrible. But everything else about my tough armor is good so far.

I've noticed that I have some small scratches on my bezel after using my neo hybrid.

I've had my Neo Hybrid on my Note 4 for a bit over a week and have taken it on and off countless times. No scratches at all on my phone, already came up big saving my phone from a face down pancake fall from about 3.5 feet on to my brick walkway. Only issues are the hole for the headphone jack may not fit higher end connectors and the HR Monitor does not work per their instructions . I'm guessing the latter is why the've pulled the product. Also, the posts I've read regarding scratching on the bezel were not from the Neo Hybrid., but from the thinner form fitting cases like the Thin Fit/Ultra.
I believe it was removed from amazon because spigen may have fixed the VZW n4 issue, if you go to spigen site, it no longer has a note of carrier compatibility under the case descriptions. I sent them an email but no response as of yet.
3 out of 5 cases I bought last month were complete ****, very disappointed.
Then they were tons of complains about scratched phones etc, I think its not the case's fault for that, the design of the note 4 is nice looking but easily scratched.
Has anyone ordered the tough armor case since they restocked on 11/10? I was about to pull the trigger on ordering one of these bad boys but the complaints I've read so far has me second guessing them.
Is the kickstand really that flimsy?
The microphone hole issue fixed for the Verizon variant?
bezel scratches easily still?

I have the original... The kick stand seems flimsy however it's never not done is job nor failed in any way. I use the kick stand constantly ! The fix for this case for the Verizon phones should be super simple seeing how it is only TPU on the bottom. After drilling a hole in the correct spot I didn't even feel the urge to return.
Verizon N4 : Thank me if I helped ya

Thanks for the reply. Currently I'm using an Otterbox Defender case and a bit torn on this and the spigen. The Otterbox definately offers superior protection, but it adds so much bulk. The spigen looks like it does the job, UT no protection for the front and I should not have to drill a hole for the mic cutout to align. May have to just stick with the Otterbox case for now especially since winter is approaching.

Just to let you know I have a co-worker that has the Neo Hybrid case and they have already sent him an up-to-date TPU replacement and his is just fine now. I'm sure any they are selling now with have the upgraded TPU cutouts and not have any problem.
Ok just ordered a tough armor case and will arrive on Saturday. Will report back my findings.
