[VIDEO] Galaxy Tab S 8.4 Griffin Survivor vs Samsung Book Cover - Galaxy Tab S Accessories

I haven't really made a video in a while since I've been so busy at work. Had to force myself to do this one. Thought it might be helpful if you're trying to figure out which case suits your needs more. Please reply if you have any questions about either of these cases. I have a glass screen protector coming in soon. Using the Griffin without the built in screen protector changes the location of the buttons on the side enough that they are harder to hit.
The video is sloppy, long, and lengthy btw. I know...
EDIT: Glass Screen Protector Install - http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal.../video-galaxy-tab-s-8-4-glass-screen-t2966326

Looks good! Griffin cases protected my ipad from a high drop. I might get this one since I may drop it soon. Since July i have not dropped my tab s yet. Thanks for the video!

That's a great review. I'm waiting on my 10.5 tab s and purchased the s book cover. I think it's gorgeous and you can't beat oem

Thanks. I really hope the glass screen protector works with that. It'd be a pretty nice setup at that point.

I put the Book Cover back on while I wait for the screen protector. It definitely looks clean and professional. Plus being able to support the weight by the cover makes it easy to hold / flip the cover on.

Had anybody seen the book covers on sale anywhere? I'm thinking I'm going with one of those.

Im wondering what is that shiny plastic thing on the back of your Tab S is that a 8.4 thing?

Are you talking about the two black clips on one side?

No on the back of your tab s, the video makes it look like you have a plastic back cover i donno why. the back of your tab s is really shiny in the video i may be seeing things dough lol...

I still have the plastic protector it came with on it. That'd probably what you're seeing lol.

My 8.4 WiFi only model came in the paper sleeve you described.
Is it possible that you have a WiFi only model. The OP has the AT&T LTE version and AT&T has a tendency to package their products differently.

No I have the t-mobile LTE version . Perhaps it is a AT&T thing then.

Danger, don't trust the Samsung book cover!

I hope you never drop yours if you bought the book cover! I dropped my 8.4 in my Samsung official book cover the other week onto a carpeted office floor and it bent the tab just enough to break the AMOLED LCD (without, oddly enough, breaking either the front glass or the tempered screen protector I had on it). Given that it's costing me around 70% of the purchase price to get it repaired (buying a tab with the most expensive screen tech available suddenly doesn't seem so smart), I'm kicking myself for assuming the official accessory would be pretty rugged.
Currently looking at buying a cover that's bombproof.

Problem with a seller with that many feedback is, you can go months with purely negative feedback before it affects the % significantly.
The guy's a drop shipper. I actuallly bought a couple of Galaxy Portal cases and some SGS screen protectors from him last week. Had no problems with delivery on the stuff I ordered from him. I asked about the silicone SGS cases at the time and he told me he was currently out of stock - that's why I ended up buying the Zenus case.
ok, well ill order one up at £3.50 you cant really go wrong
If anyone prefers amazon,
heres a link to the item I bought mine from (it was despatched on Monday)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003U6VTOC/ref=oss_product
I ordered one of those yesterday and received an email through to say it had been despatched, hopefully it'll arrive soon.
Just a quick follow up to this, it arrived after a couple of days and for the money the case is great. It fits well and isn't too thick and does it's job of making the phone a lot less slippy.
The screen protector shipped with it was a Terrapin one which is not bad although the edges didn't stick brilliantly.
One thing of note for a few phone calls people were complaining that I sounded muffled and finally I checked the mic and the hole for it in the case was cut but it hadn't gone all of the way through, no wonder people had trouble hearing me.
lol, yea my gfs turned up, i ordered mine the day after here and 3 extra days later it isnt here lol.
hers like you said was a really good fit, surprising for the money, all slots lined up and for £3 even the camera cutout has a small bevel
really good value for money, but if you want a decent screen protector dont buy this one because its included, imho its crap, well compared to my martin fields
The wife got one of these for her galaxy..she thinks its ok, however she is going to buy a jelly one as well as this one gets dusty and covered in little hairs (so she tells me!)
Also the screen protectors edges don't stick very very well.
She'll keep you posted on the jelly one (but its coming from hong kong..so it may be a while!)
as far as im aware its pretty much jelly anyway, i would think the real 'wobbly' ones lol would attract more lint etc

However, do you know if these i9000 case going to be compatible with samsung Vibrant
it's of the same phone design, no difference in the buttons cut outs
the only difference is in the front facing camera which some of the USA carriers are missing
those cases doesn't cover the front anyways, so it's not an issue

Case Logic pouch

I bought this Case Logic pouch 12 hours ago since i am in desperate need of a "temporary" case/pouch for my beloved tab+. Temporary since i'm waiting for better accessories for our tab+ (folio cases and other cases for the original tab just won't fit to ourtab+). But this Case Logic pouch looks just so professional and simple that i might decide to make it "permanent". I don't know what kind of filling was used to make the foam, but it sure feels secured enough to save the tab from dropping. I was informed that this pouch is also temperature smart. I don't know what that means. Anyways, the outer texture feels great too. Btw, it costs 599 pesos (14 USD or 11 EUR). The photos were taken with my tab+.

wow that's a good buy for a total of 4 USD or roughly 200 pesos. I hope screen protectors and folio types for our tab+ be released already.
@diospada11
maybe you're interested with this case.. i got it at parksquare makati this morning..
this is the only case they have.. the have a matte screen protector.
Php450 for the case
Php250 for the matte screen protector.
@aperture that looks nice! i will have to find out how to go to parksquare from las pinas. anyways, is the screen protector properly fit on the tab+? how about the cut for the earpiece and camera?
i tried looking for the "right" screen guard all over our area (town center, south mall, puregold jr., festival), but they still don't have the proper screen guard for the tab+. however, it's so weird that they already have the ones for the 7.7. which btw, is still not yet officially released anywhere.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 book cover case review with wake and sleep mode

Im really liking the wake and sleep feature on the Galaxy Note 8. This is a nice feature found on the iPad Mini and the Kindle Fire HD tablets.

Got the book cover case and really like the sleep and wake feature of it
To anyone who picked one up, how does it feel in terms of bulk? Also, when the cover is folded over, does it lay flush with the spine or does the flap stick out?

It is very thin, as thin as my nexus 4, and feels like a father compared to my original xoom
the cover is just like the s3 flip cover but it snaps on the back instead of replacing the battery cover
and it triggers auto on and off like the ipad smart cover
Caved in and picked up the cover on the way home today. Some initial thoughts:
1) The case adds no real bulk to the device itself. The backplate and the screen flap are both super thin, so even when folded over, it's doable for someone like me who hates cases.
2) Because its all so thin, however, it does feel sorta cheap. If this suffers from the same build issues I've read the S3 version has, I don't have high hopes that it's going to last long.
3) The screen on/off thing is awesome. The sensor part of this is actually along the spine, not the edge of the flap. Not a complaint, just an observation.
4) When folded over, there is a bit of a "lip" around the spine. I can't say I love this, but it doesn't really impact the way I hold the device.
5) The "stand" feature is alright and seems stable enough as long as you use it in the single position it was designed for. I do with it had a few more angle options.
Verdict? Meh. It's not a bad case, and I don't intend to return mine, but had I been given the opportunity to play with one before, I don't think I would have spent the extra $50. At half that price, it wouldn't change my opinion, but I'd be far less disappointed.
I have the book cover for my 8.0 and it is not very heavy, acts like a stand and turns the Note on and off when I open and close it. Very convenient. Got mine on Amazon for $5.99. Thought I would give it a try for that amount . So far very happy with it.

The only one I see on Amazon for that price is the IVSO version. What I hate about those cases is how you actually have to put the tablet inside and wraps around the front. The official book cover simply snaps onto the back of the Note 8.

I bought that same cover and also bought a similar one:
http://www.amazon.com/Dealgadgets-S...&qid=1366425979&sr=8-2&keywords=Galaxy+note+8
They both look essentially the same and add about the same bulk.
Major difference is that the Moko cover has auto wake, soft inside material, hand holder, and the pen holder doesn't interfere with IR. But it reeks! I mean it smells so bad I couldn't keep it in the same room with me. I left it outside overnight and it is still off gassing.
The Dealgadget cover has no weird smell. But also no wake function, no softer inside material, no hand holder. The pen holder is in a better location except if you plan to use the IR function. It is on the side of the tablet and I found it interferes with the IR.
So I ended up ordering the Samsung cover from this site. Since its coming from Hong Kong it will probably take a couple of weeks to get it. But I can't justify spending $50 for a cover. (Even though I probably will have spent close to $50 before I find one I like).
http://dx-box.com/catalogsearch/result/index/?cat=364&q=Galaxy+Note+8.0
I never purchased from this site before so I can't vouch for them yet.
I also have the upcoming Poetic case on order since its only $5. But it's not due to ship till May.
good one
hi budy go to your level best and may astonished to the forums:good:
When looking for some case reviews I stumbled over http://galaxynote8cases.com/ and they actually seem to have some good reviews. The only thing that is a real pain with the Note 8 is that it's tough to find any accessories for it.
I just got the white book case cover, its perfect for people who are careful with their electronics but like that extra layer to prevent scratches. Adds virtually zero weight.

Thats the big selling point for me here. The absolute lack of bulk on this is awesome. I only wish this had two more features:
1) A magnetic hold when the front flap is covering the screen.
2) Another magnetic hold for the flap when its folded over the back.
Sent from my GT-N5110 using xda premium
There is a slight hold on the front side, as to not make it appear flimsy. When you flip it around back it "gives" a bit easier to fit snugly. Hard to explain, but clearly well designed.
Where are people buying this case, i cant find it anywhere.
The Book Cover Case is available in the US at local Best Buy, Staples and Office Depot. The only color is white, but the other colors will be available shortly.

I've pre-ordered from then before. It's a bit like of a hit and miss. Last time they missed their arrival date by two weeks because their shipments of their stock didn't come in on time, but they're very friendly and responsive. They updated me with the next expected date as soon as it was available.

Wow, that looks like it provides great coverage! I guess you have to store the S-Pen separately though (doesn't seem like there is a slot for it)? I also wonder what it will feel like to write on it, regarding both the "touch-sensitive, water-resistant screen-guard" (and how that will feel with the S-Pen) and also with the raised case edges.

people who have gotten this case for other devices suggested that you pop out the screen guard, and use your own, so I have a new Spigen on mine, so I dont want the one that is on the case; plus, I am sure there is a slot for the spen; that would be a major problem if there isnt one...raised case edges are a good thing for putting the tablet face down...

I think it's a fall where you pull it out. It looks like all the ports have it and I think it's to protect openings from dust.

Wow.. this changes the Galaxy Note 8 into completely something else
Very nice. I much prefer non-portfolio style cases due to their immediate accessibility. But I also prefer one with a built-in stand for video viewing and this one seems to be the first one like that for the note that I've come across (and a more premium model at that.) Based on the reviews for other tablets this seems a good possibility. Added to my wishlist and I'll be eagerly checking this forum/thread for a review once it's available.
Otterbox has already said they have no plans for a Note 8.0 case unfortunately. Odd since the Note 8.0 seems to be selling very well (at least according to my local Best Buys) and people who would pay $400 for a premium tablet would seem the most likely to not balk a premium case. I know I wouldn't. Oh well....

This case looks just like what I was after. I got a cheap folio case to start with while I waited to find my ideal case. I like the rased bevel. wanted one like that to help prevent me clicking the capacitive buttons by mistake in landscape mode. The raised home button will also prevent me accidentally pushing that as well. Happens sometimes when playing multiplayer fps games.
I've still not decide if I'll get a screen guard or not. Dont intend on using the one provided though.
Look forward to your feedback. Not available until June 30th in the UK.

I had the same thought too when I first saw the case. I was happy to find out there is no need to store the stylus on the side - there is a slot for it in the case! As for writing on the screen protector, I haven't noticed any difference from writing on the Note 8.0 screen with the stylus. I posted a pic in another response if you're curious to see.

well, got this case yesterday, and I have to say its everything I had hoped for and more; sort of like an otterbox, with a built in stand, which works in portrait and landscape.
HD rubber around the screen edges, fully protect port openings, and even the camera has a flip off protector, which,even has a little "slot" that holds it back when you want to use the camera; very nice high end touches like that, and a very solid feel to it as well.
You insert it inside a plastic bottom frame, then snap the top cover over it, which has a very nice clear protector built into it, which, when used in conjunction with my current Spigen Ultra Clear, provides a fantastic surface to easily use my spen/holder on, giving you the identical feel as if you were writing on a legal pad, with a pen...very nice!
You then wrap the rubber cover around the frame, and after a few minutes of adjusting, you have basically a giant "otterbox" like protected tablet!!
Its probably not for eveyone, but I love holding the tablet in my hand, like a giant G-Note 2, and writing on it and using it now is so much nicer...I think it would easily survive a major fall, but dont ask me to try that!!
Definately more useful, and much better protection than any of these folio/notebook fabric covered cardboard cases that are all over the place..its just a little bulky for those with small hands...
Amazon price was 60% off the price from Poetic, so I would suggest you get if from Amazon if you are interested..

well, got this case yesterday, and I have to say its everything I had hoped for and more; sort of like an otterbox, with a built in stand, which works in portrait and landscape.

I was wondering if anyone could give the exact size of the case in inches. I am considering a swap to the note 8 from my nexus 7. Size is a concern because I keep it in my flight suit pocket. The Note 8 without a case is the same size in H and W as my nexus 7 with an otterbox installed. I was wondering how much extra size the poetic case adds. Thanks for the help!

fantastic video; shows every aspect of this premium case very clearly
thanks for posting this!:good:
Looking at the pictures and video is there any chance of the kick stand brace scratching the back of the note when it's folded? It appears to me metal. I'm close to ordering but I'm also nervous about the addition weight and thickness, how bad is it?

Is samsung ever gonna sell their screen protector?

So i got the ESR protectors and they were utter trash, so i got a refund. Now i want something because even though i love having it bare, i'm paranoid. the samsung one was perfect, i loved it, but i got a gouge in it bc im an idiot and dropped my gear s3 on it lol....anyway, i thought i saw samsung was going to sell those protectors...but where are they?
The stock? You feel it was sufficient? I feel it's less thick than usual tempered.

Ya just go to your local grocery store they are usually on the food storage aisle. Comes in a roll usual called plastic wrap. That's all you need basically the same thickness and plus you get a whole roll
I also happen to like the one that came pre applied.

Edit:

hilarious.
MOD Edit:
Language.
Stock one is pretty decent in my.opinion. I need something that if I throw my.phone in a pocket w keys the screen doesnt get scratched. Does the job.
I never use screen protectors, but agree this stock one fits the bill...
The stock one is fine for me. Slippery, crystal clear and protects the screen from the scratches. Does the job.
Very good screen protector indeed and I hope this thread finds the answer.
the product code identifier is:
ET-FG975CTEGWW
for the samsung s10+
