SG Tab 8.9 accessories are hard to come by. I have been in search for a case/pouch for a while and I could not even source for the official cases. So the other day I came across a Chinese made case for 8.9 and picked it as there is absolutely no other choice in my location. Turns out that the case is fit for the purpose. The idea is borrowed from Ipad2 Smart Cover but who cares for concepts as long as the case does the job?
The (Smart***)case is same as the ones found in this following website. I picked the Grey one......

I had the same, but really didn't like it. There's a lot of extra rubber on the side, with no purpose at all.

same here - ok for a minimum of protection in a pouch or bag.
But the quality is poor. I am very content with the blurex. Good Quality, reasonable price, stable and no unnescessary cover around the display.

Your Blurex case; when you open the cover, does it fold back flat against the bottom? Mine didn't, it stayed open at about a 20 degree angle. I didn't know if it was a design problem or isolated issue, so I sent it back and tried the Vipertek. The Vipertek doesn't have a problem folding back flat.
no, same here, 10 Degree tilt.
But I give it some time, i am sure it will come down
Is the vipertek of the same quality? So, this might be the better choice.

Same quality build, perfect fit. The cover even closes easier, and it folds back flat. Much happier.

I am using this one since I got the GTab, got it at Best Buy. So far so good, but I had to do two little mods to make it perfect for my needs: I cut it to make it a bit more open in the area where the VOL buttons go since the black "leather" opening bothered when trying to press the VOL buttons. I also included some tape on the sides inside to make a tighter fit for the tab (when the tab slipped from the right side a bit, that tape helped).

I second the blurex case (or whatever name it goes under, I happen to have gotten one that is not branded.) The case is verstile and seems to be holding up.
this case looks a lot like the pyroskins case that I have for my galaxy tab 10.1.
I can only assume that from the pics i see on amazon but everything about it looks the same. pyroskins is a very good case for daily activities.
Do you use/know this type of case?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Smart-Cov...ccessories&hash=item27c0561aaa#ht_4381wt_1163
If it fits well and has proper connection between plastic and display cover than it`s thing that I need
EDIT: Found this in 10.1 section http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17846745&postcount=24
Looks like pretty good and useable protection

Yeah, I bought 2 of these. And you know what? they are surprisingly good.
The white moulded plastic that surrounds the back of tab is really cheap, and never matches the outer colour of cover (unless you get white). But protection is on all corners, and the flap is slim and well made.
If they could do something better than 'just' gluing the cover/flap to the back of the white plastic, they could charge double or triple and I'd be all over it.
Worth the money. And both angles are useable and easy to achieve.
I bought this one too and it works well for me.
The blurex case was way to thick for me. That and it not folding back completely were my two main problems with it and why I didn't use it
I use an orange knock off smart cover now, it is much better for me than the blurex.
I subscribed to otterbox for details as to when we would be able to buy a case for our phones, and today I finally got the message.... http://www.otterbox.com/samsung-galaxy-s-2-skyrocket-cases/samsung-galaxy-s-2-skyrocket-cases,default,sc.html [URL="http://www.otterbox.com/samsung-galaxy-s-2-skyrocket-cases/samsung-galaxy-s-2-skyrocket-cases,default,sc.html"]http://www.otterbox.com/samsung-galaxy-s-2-skyrocket-cases/samsung-galaxy-s-2-skyrocket-cases,default,sc.html [/URL]

I bought the Powerskin when I got the phone. It does add bulk to the phone but what is really annoying is that the Skyrocket thinks it's plugged into a dock. The dock screen comes up automatically and all calls get answered in speaker phone mode. You have to switch the call back to handset once you answer the call.
The skyrocket doesn't exhibit this behavior when I connect and external battery like tbe Zagg Spark or a Brookstone external battery.
So far I have not been able to stop the dock mode from launching.

I'm guessing you haven't watched the demo vids for the Defender series case.
The belt clip also functions as the kickstand.
At least it better or I will raise hell for false advertising.

It seems odd, like it locks when you open the belt clip so far.
Hopefully it works well and doesn't create issues.

I received my defender this week, and while I'm very happy with the quality of the case, the "stand" included with the belt clip leaves a lot to be desired. When I lock it open and try to stand the phone up in landscape orientation, it falls flat on it's face, as it isn't tilted back far enough to get over it's own center of gravity. Laying it down in landscape works, but that doesn't put it at much of an angle.
The same goes for using the stand in portrait mode - it falls backwards, instead.
That said, I love everything else about the case. It doubles the size of the phone, and adds a bit of weight, but for my giant hands and butterfingers it's perfect. The silicone is grippy but not sticky, and although I haven't dropped it yet, I'm confident that the case will protect its precious cargo when I inevitably do.
*edit:
Everything I wrote above is wrong. I had the clip vertical when I tried to use the stand, as I keep the phone in landscape orientation when its clipped too my belt. It turns out that if you put the clip "sideways" as if you were going to clip the phone to your belt in portrait mode, and then lock it open, it works perfectly in landscape mode.
And I just double checked the portrait mode stability: it seems that the phone will stand up on the coffee table in front of me, but its still precarious. Touching the top half of the screen causes it to topple backwards.

I got the Defender at when I got the Gtab 8.9 LTE and free Skyrocket. Told my rep I wasn't paying $50 and she discounted it 25% which was better but I wanted her to give it to me free considering I was dropping $500 on the Gtab.
I like the case but it isn't nearly as rugged as my Ballistic case for my Infuse but it is significantly smaller than the Ballistic. I just realized that the clip on the back was for propping it up. I was wondering why it clipped open??? Duh! Anyway I took a couple of pics for those of you on the fence about this case I like it and it seems like it will definitely protect the phone adequately. The rubber surround is a real pain to put back on properly that was the only glaring thing.
They have redesigned the Minisuit and the Poetic 2 piece cases and put the cutouts in the right spots. Of the two, I grabbed the Minisuit, since I have had both for the Prime, and there were almost identical - granted the Poetic is a TINY bit better, but nothing substantial. They are both "PU Leather" (look it up on Wiki - Modern technology permits up to three or four horizontal layers being taken from a single hide. The leather used in the backing of bicast or PU Leather is a thin layer, remaining after other layers have been removed for traditional leather work They actually have to dye a leather pattern back onto it for lighter colors, this is why I avoid the browns, even if they look... okay, they are not very natural real looking.
After this they coat this thin, THIN split leather with a layer of polyurethane applied to the surface and then embossed (to have a texture)
For the money? Its damn nice, feels super soft, shines beautifully (try Pledge, which list leather as one of its applications- shines really nice)
Anyway the MiniSuit is $11.95
http://www.amazon.com/MiniSuit-Tran...words=minisuit+case+asus+transformer+infinity
And the Poetic is 18.95
http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Transf...words=minisuit+case+asus+transformer+infinity
- At these prices, you can't go very wrong, and they do protect your tablet and dock. They do make it thick as a big phone book though, LOL! I usually only "sheath" my Infinity when traveling or taking it outside the house.
I received my Poetic today from Amazon. As the previous poster stated when closed out its thick as a phonebook. However, for 18+ bucks this is a very nice case.

Just ordered the poetic case for $18,95
It seems nice and practical. Have to protect our baby
Can't understand why it is taking them until the 22 october to have it shipped to sweden.......
I was wondering if something like this existed. Last time I looked at the thread, I didn't noticed what I was looking for but this time I did.
I want the Dock easily removable, so I can, say, leave it in the car to be charged as I am running around on foot, using hte tablet in standalone mode only. I seems like either of these cases do exactly that, with what seems simple snaps that hold the dock part to the rest of the case.
Question - what exactly is the difference between the MiniSuit and the Poetic?

Ok so i got the Poetic delivered by mail today 6 days from US to Sweden, that was faster than i expected!!
Actualy you can snap off the keybord and that is easy with 2 simple snaps.
The drawback with that is that you loose a good method of closing it if you drop it, there should be some easy snapping for closing it.
I will attach that function by my self as it should be easy to do. and half the solution is in place already from where the keybord dock snappers are in place. Yes the Poetic case brings a little extra weight but on the other hand it protects the pad quite nice i think, and it looks good!
SD-Card can be reached aswell as USB, MicroSD, charging and camera. The keybord dock was not easy to fit in because the strappers are in the way, so i simply didn't attach them they aren't realy needed. I use the snappers only when i detach the keybord from the tablet and want to hold it in place.
Sorry for my english, but i hope you understand what i mean.
Best regards

I had the chance to try out 2 different "Folio" type cases this week, and decided to do a review comparing them. Here are the competitors:
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 BookCover - $49.99
MiniSuit Classic Standing Case with HandStrap - $14.95
Both cases are generally good, but with weaknesses that would have been easily fixed with more forethought. To start off I will show a few pics comparing the general size and thickness of the two cases.
~
Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 BookCover
Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 BookCover
Samsung BookCover is the thinner of the two but also offers less protection. It was only available in white when I purchased is, but there should be other colors available shortly. The BookCover is easily removable, and cutouts allow for access to all ports, buttons, sensors, etc except for the MicroSD slot. There is what I assume to be a magnetic sensor towards the left side bezel of the device, because there is a “Sleep / Wake” feature with the BookCover which seems to work well to lock and unlock the device. Unfortunately there are no magnets that hold the cover closed against the front of the screen, or when flipped to the back to the device. Cover flap is a soft material that will do well protecting the screen, but will also most likely get dirty over time as I have seen with other covers of this type.
The smaller of the two angled views (around 30 degrees) works very well, and stays in place while navigating and typing on the device.
The more upright angled view is a pain to deal with. If you don’t have a perfectly flat surface, forget about using this one. Even when on a flat surface, the back kept wanting to kick out, as it seems the tablet isn’t heavy enough to hold it in place. They really should have developed a method for this view what would attach the folding flap to the body of the case, using a slot or magnets, because the current method does not work well at all.
Pros:
Light and Thin
Sleep / Wake function built in
Access to all ports and buttons
Easy to hold, comfortable feel
Cons:
Little protection from drops / spills
Angled views are difficult to maintain in active environment
No magnets or strap to keep flap closed over front of screen
No S Pen holder
MiniSuit Classic Stand Case with Handstrap for Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0
MiniSuit Classic Stand Case with Handstrap for Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0
I actually purchased the MiniSuite before the Note 8 was even available in the US, and it was at my door the day before the Note 8’s release (thank you Amazon Prime). I purchased the Navy Blue, but there are many other colors currently available. Overall it has been a good case, and has done an excellent job of protecting the device in a household that has 3 children under the age of 5. There are magnets to keep the flap closed on the front of the case, but there is no Sleep / Wake functionality with this case. I also like that they included an elastic band to hold the S-Pen. I personally like using the larger Samsung S-Pen that has the eraser function on the back, and it fits perfectly in the elastic loop. There is another elastic loop on the cover flap that allows you to insert your and when flipped around to the back, and hold the device more secure one-handed. I personally haven’t used this much, but I can definitely imagine some scenarios where this could come in handy. It is thicker than the Samsung option, but the added bulk doesn't make the device any more difficult to hold. The fake leather isn’t slippery and is somewhat soft to the touch.
The smaller of the two angled views isn’t as stable as the Samsung cover, but the more upright view is much better and stable. This is largely due to the fact that the cover slides into a slot that keeps it from moving. I have not had any issues with the device falling over while in this position, even when sitting on my bed with kids jumping around me.
Pros:
Magnets to keep flap closed over front of screen
Built in S-Pen holder
Access to all ports and buttons
Easy to hold, comfortable feel
Will hold up to drops / spills fairly well
Angled views are difficult to maintain in active environment
Cons:
Does add considerable bulk to the device
No Sleep / Wake function built in
Of the two cases, the MiniSuit will be staying on my device, and the Samsung BookCover is going back to Best Buy. I could have overlooked not having magnets to keep it closes, and no S-Pen holder, but not being able to watch movies while propped up unless sitting absolutely still killed any chance of me wanting to keep this accessory. The MiniSuit has been great up to this point, and I have found an application that mimics the “Sleep / Wake” function when the cover is used, so my main gripe has been satisfied. Plus the fact that this case is $35 less than the Samsung option, makes the decision a lot easier.
Feel free to ask any questions that I may not have covered above. Thanks.

So being that not having a magnet to deliver the Sleep / Wake function is my biggest gripe against the MiniSuit, I am looking at a way to fix it.
After a bit of experimentation, I found the location that activates sleep / wake. I had originally assumed it was along the bezel, but turns out its behind the screen edge. The location is shown in the attached screen shot. Going to adhere a tiny magnet to the cover and see how it responds. Its below the level of the bezel covet, so shouldn't scratch the sceen at all (although I do use a screen protector just in case).
Sent from my GT-N5110 using Tapatalk HD
The magnet install works great, and the Sleep / Wake function is dead on. Took about 5min to install the magnet, and the backing so the magnetic field didn't effect the device when the cover is folded around to the back. Also has no effect on the S-Pen, which is good to see.
Now the main negative of this case is no longer an issue.

At a local fabric / craft store for ¢79. :laugh:
Be careful ordering from this supplier (linked in above post)! Shipping takes forever even with their "airmail". I placed an order on the 18th, and just got shipping notification yesterday (11 days later), with a shipping number, but no way to track it (Hong Kong air mail tracking doesn't seem to recognize it). So I still have no clue to when it will arrive, or even if this is a legitimate business. I am willing to give them 10 more days before I raise the issue with my credit card company since shipping from China does have a tendency to take a couple of weeks or even more, so it's probably nothing to be concerned about, just slow mail.

I have the original Samsung BookCover (green). Keeping it standing is difficult but you can have this http://www.amazon.com/Targus-Design...=1367327608&sr=8-1&keywords=targus+ipad+stand
Or if you have Note 2 (or S3 or S4) with extra battery charger, you can use the stand to hold it.
Thanks for the comparison. I want the Samsung model, but it seemed overpriced and I went with the MiniSuit. Its been pretty good, with three minor complaints.
Like you, I was disappointed it didn't do automatic turn-on/lock functions when the cover was opened or closed. Your magnet mod looks pretty simple, so I'm gonna give that a shot.
When folding the front cover to use it as a stand, the device is pretty unstable in either position. When vertical, a stiff breeze would knock this thing over face first.
The other thing that really chaps my hide is the orientation. When its laying prone but propped up, the home button is on the left side of the case. Its really a "me issue", but the tablet I've been using for the last few years was the opposite, and I find myself constantly reaching for the home button and only hitting the Samsung logo on top. A little annoying, but really no problem.
Not the last case I'll ever buy for this thing, but for $15 its great. I'd definitely recommend it, especially if you're waiting on an Otterbox or Trident solution. This'll keep your Note intact till the real protection comes out.

Worth the wait!
I just had a chance to get online again after a couple of months. I have been extremely busy.
Anyhow, I logged on to xda as I am looking for reviews about minisuit's cases. I have been an online shopper since 2009 and I am totally used to shipping delays lol. For me its no big deal. What really made me purchase items from minisuit was the fact that this company offer great discounts on almost all of their items and even if you are a new customer you can still avail big discounts when you purchase more items online.
Just last week I purchased 5 pieces of different gadget cases from minisuit. Apart from offering low prices to customers this company also sell durable and lasting cases.
Thanks and Best wishes everyone!
I also have this case I got from Amazon It's the MiniSuit 8.0 case right? It's really lovely

The magnet install works great, and the Sleep / Wake function is dead on. Took about 5min to install the magnet, and the backing so the magnetic field didn't effect the device when the cover is folded around to the back. Also has no effect on the S-Pen, which is good to see.
Now the main negative of this case is no longer an issue.

Can you use a magnetic tape instead of a magnet ?
I guess these too are easily available in a hobby shop and are a bit softer compared to a magnet..

I have wondered about that too.
I also have high strength rare-earth magnets, (real tiny ones), I guess I can stick these to the case with some gaffers tape, but do we need a faint magnet or a strong magnet.
My note is in shipping, should get it next week... I gave up on waiting for the 32GB version.

Has anyone removed the sleep/wake magnet from the Moko case yet? I just got mine in the mail and want to remove it but it seems pretty well integrated. I found where it is but can't tell if it runs along the whole length of the left side of the cover

It's only one small magnet, the size of an eraser. It's underneath the elastic handle. Rub your fingernail over the area and you'll slowly find a circular outline. Took 30 seconds to remove!
Sorry, I actually have the other moko case without the hand strap. The faux leather smart cover that looks similar to the poetic slim case. I found the sleep/wake magnets over the middle left side of the screen and removed them but the cover still sleep/wakes my screen. Don't understand how and why unless I missed some magnets

drag a magnet over the case and you should be able to find it.
may i ask why you want to remove it? the only tablet I've used that has a functional sleep cover has been my nook hd+. ipad and gn10.1 would have unusual drain when using it. my 500t has issues with waking up from sleep (all atom wintabs seem to) so i got rid of that magnet. never did get a case with a magnet for my 700t.

There are a number of threads on various forums concerning the Note 8 screen becoming dead to tactile input where the magnetic field of the cover is located. Interestingly, this has been noticed with the official Samsung book cover case.
What I have found using a Poetic case that has a metal (but not magnetic) clasp to keep the cover in the closed position activates the Note 8's sleep and wakeup modes just fine.

Can someone kindly point me to some of the threads discussing this? I did a Google search and only find where the magnets mess with the compass and S-pen in certain cases.
I've used the moko with s pen for over a couple of weeks and have noticed nothing. I've even scribbled all over the pad.....nothing. Great value.
