Recommend a Case? - Galaxy Tab 3 Accessories

I just purchased a Galaxy Tab 3 8.0. Can't find a case to fit it. I'd like to have one made specifically for it (not universal) that has the "elastic strap" that secures it when closed.

Try a brand called incase it slides into the case and 2 little velcro flaps hold the top in. It has the elastic strap on it your looking for. Bestbuy has them for about $29-$39. They are made for exactly the case (book) your looking for. Its a great case, they call it a book. I have one for my 10.1 and love it.

I like the Moko case recommended elsewhere under this topic. Very slim & made specifically for this tab. The only thing I don't like about it is that with the case closed the alarm is essentially silence,. Available on Amazon for around $15.

I just picked a Samsung Cover/Stand on Ebay for 20 bucks including shipping. Of course, it fits well because it was designed for the 8.0.
And the best part.....it is Garnet and Gold!!!

How can that be, the corners seem very very vulnurable.
I'm looking for something like this http://www.elementcase.com/Sector-5-iPhone-Case-a/302.htm
Anyone got any ideas? the moko also seems to have uncovered corners.

This case actually looks good when it comes to protection, but I'm not a huge fan of the leather. Any idea where I can get a similar case but with different material?

The MOKO does cover the corners via the back cover clasps,I bought from Amazon for $20 delivered.
It also puts Tab 3 8.0 to sleep when you close it,perfect fit and works great.
Forgot to say top cover folds back magnetically to form a rear stand.

I got a cheap one from Amazon for £8.
I cannot fault it. Works well, good quality and snug fit.

INVELLOP smart cover case

I have one for my iPad and love the thing. I emailed INVELLOP and they said they are working on one for the nexus 7. It will be out in roughly a month.

I had one of these on a work iPad as well, really liked the case...really hated the iPad. I have the stock N7 case but I think this would be better.
Interesting. Looks great. Does the cover fold back properly? I ordered a Poetic smart case similar to this and fearing it won't lay flat when folded back.

Oh it works perfect. I just love the case. I will keep y'all informed if they contact me again about it.

Looks awesome! This is exactly the sort of case I'm looking for. I like the fact that the stock case fits the look and feel of the tablet, but it didn't seem to fold back properly, and I'd rather buy a case that has built in magnetic functionality.
Do you know if they ship to Australia? Every case I've found so far that fits my wants (unobtrusive, doesn't cover the bezel, looks decent, has magnets) can't be shipped to Australia.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Premium HD app
this probably would have been the case i got if it had come out with the nexus. i've already ordered 3 other cases so gonna have to skip this one.
What ever happened to this case? I've been holding off on buying a case until this one came out but I'm starting to think I may have to look elsewhere.

I was looking for an invellop case too and found this one instead for my Nexus 7. It's the Poetic Slimline case. Only 1.7 cm thick. It's really sharp looking with a magnetic opening too.
Just search for it on Amazon: Poetic SLIMLINE Portfolio Case for Google Nexus 7

I bought the JKase Premium Quality Samsung Galaxy Note II 2 GT-N7100 Streamline TPU Case Cover - Retail Packaging - Clear from Amazon. It was cheap and I was able to get fast 2 day shipping with Prime. (can't post a link yet since I am new)
This case and my Note 2 will be arriving tomorrow. I hope the case will be enough to hold me over until a better deal comes about on a name brand case. I'll be pairing this with a Spigen screen protector.
Im using the white and grey case mate case from at&t. The reason, I billed it to my company.

Same here. I also have the Proclips mount in my car, meaning I have to take the case off to use it. The Body Glove case comes off and goes back on very easily.
Also bought the body glove one from sprint. Was worried about cases and adding bulk but this seems to be minimal and my phone doesn't feel like it's going to slip out of my hand every time I hold it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
I went to several Sprint locations, and none of them had the body glove case. I was also hoping to get something with a belt clip.
The only case I found locally in stock for my Note 2 was at the AT&T store and it was a white/grey CaseMate with a built in kickstand I think it cost $38 and did not come with a screen protector. Wish Otterbox made a Commuter style with built in kickstand for the Note 2.
Case
I bought the Ringke SLIM Soft Feeling Premium Hard Case. It's slim. adds very little bulk while protecting at the same time and got it off of amazon for 10.99 on sale from 25.00. I added the Spigen SGP Ultra Oloephobic screen protector and it's totally protected. I love them both.......
Have this:

$5 Ionic Position folio-style case off of Amazon. Offers good protection, looks good, and doesn't have a magnetic closure (huge!).
I just purchased a Seidio Active-like case off of Amazon to use until the Seidio Active combo either comes down in price or shows up at Best Buy for 2/3rds of what it costs now.
I also just returned an Amzer Shellster because it was a piece of crap that broke three days in. Spending $6 to return an item that I'll get $14 back for, after spending $5 initially to have it shipped. Really thrilled about Amzer's customer service policies.

Casemate pop w/ kickstand

I posted a few pics of this case in some other threads but after a few days with the case i feel its needs its own thread. This case is an awesome case. I purchased it for $40 at an at&t store and replaced my sprint bodyglove with it. The cas3 feels better in my hand then the bodyglove. It definitely feels like it would protect better if i drop it. It fits very good nice and tight. It has a really nice gloss finish and the kickstand really comes in handy when my sons watching movies. I was gona get the otterbox commuter but im liking this case so much i think this ones a keeper. I highly reccomend this case

Thanks for the quick review! I was hoping to get this case as well. I had it for my Galaxy S2 way back when (I won it online, hehe) and absolutely fell in love with it.
I don't understand why Case Mate says they weren't going to make this case, and it's already for sale, just not on their website. Exclusivity? I don't know... Lame!
I hope speck comes out with the Pixel HD case, I loved it
I bought this case today at att. I also just got my phone today.
So odd, after putting the case on my phone acts weird now. It powers off randomly and shuts off when I unplug it from a charge (occasionally)

Hmmm so far i havent had any issues. Also i had this case for my s3 bc like now it was the only good case that seem to be instock when the phone 1st came out and also just like now i had to buy it from an at&t store. But once the s3 was out for about a month as we all know every company was pumping out cases and i was switching cases every week. Ended up with an atomic green commuter but was about to go back to the casemate then i sold my s3. Its an awesome case

Have been using the very same case for almost two weeks now, and so far it's been the best case for me. I gave away the seidio surface to the at&t store, and a couple of eBay cases, since this pop will be a daily driver for the near future. If only they made the same in black, I'd switch...

I like the Pop Case as well. I had it for the GS2, GS3 and now the Note 2. It's very solid for protection and there is enough edge covered to protect the phone when it is turned face down. My favorite things about the case is the grip. It's enough to securely hold the phone and not too much that you have to battle to take it out of your pocket. The power and volume buttons are covered just right as far as no accidental presses while still being easy to press.
I don't use the kickstand too much but it could be made more solid as the hinge feels very fragile. It does work however in both portrait or landscape placement.

It's also worth mentioning that, unlike most cases like it (at least the ones I've seen), the rubber edge sits perfectly around the edge and does not touch the glass. And it is completely solid and does not move at all, so there is no accidentally slipping it off and loosing protection.

does anybody know where can i find an all clear tpu casing? been searching online for one, but to no avail
LOL we need to know your definition of cheap, but as adrenalinemotion said, go with diztronic. It's not expensive, I'd say not very cheap either, but it is close to being cheap. The quality is top notch I promise. I never go with TPU case as their nature of loose edges allowing dusts and the like get inside between the case and the phone, but with diztronic I'm loving it. For color-wise, they only have clear, black and glitter white/clear but I think they will have more coming soon.
I got myself the Mercury jelly case. I think it's fairly decent for its price. Personally it's just something to tide me over until I get a better case (probably the UAG one).

The "sparkly" design (shiny little dots all over the case) makes it look classier than your average plain TPU case. Overall I'm very satisfied with the material , cut-outs and I think the phone fits snugly into it (perfect fit imo). My only gripes are
1. the exposed top right corner (I know its for the antennas for the Korean models but still...)
2. the volume rocker cut-out (I can press it without any problems but it just doesn't feel nice to me.)
3. Edges are raised too little to offer much protection to the screen.

Veox Smart Cover

I'm a bit particular about cases/covers for my devices, and this is the third I've bought for my Nexus 7. But I really am pretty pleased with this one. I've also got a Poetic slimline, and the official Nexus travel cover.
This is a slim folding smart cover from "Veox". Purchased via Amazon in the UK. Cost £19.95, so not cheap. The back is a very thin, fairly flexible plastic, so hopefully it won't crack at the corners like some cases do. The front cover is a lightly textured vinyl, which isn't pretending to be leather. Inside the front is the usual fabric. The wake/sleep magnet functions perfectly, and isn't putting the tablet to sleep when folded right back. It's a little unsteady in the perch & type positions, but I expect that to improve as the cover loosens up a little. And all the ports, mics, etc. are catered for (on a WiFi model).
A few pics for you folks to peruse. Maybe this case is available in other markets under a different name.

A few pics for you folks to peruse. Maybe this case is available in other markets under a different name.

wow this is the first ive heard of this cover but I think this is the closest ive seen in terms of a thin frame with the smart capabilities. The poetic and and others still have a very thick case holding the tablet which im not a fan of, but this looks very nice and thin. Do you have a link by chance?

This case does look great. I have one question: does the cover stay closed when it faces down? I have a Poetic slimline case. It doesn't feel as high quality as this one, but it has 3 small magnets at the "right" side of the case (Nexus 7's button side) so it holds the cover. I really like that feature and I hope this one does, too.
This is very similar to the one I bought on ebay:

Mine has a longer cover so it kind of wraps around and it probably stands a bit sturdier. Love this case
No, there's no retention for the cover, so it will flap open if you hold it on its edge or upside down. But to be honest, that doesn't bother me at all.

I've looked at that one too. A colleague has it. Felt a lot bulkier than this Veox one, and has a tendency to enable sleep mode when folded right back.

It looks good and seems well made, though I wish they added some sort of lock for the cover.

I must have a newer version than your colleague then because I have never had it sleep with it folded back...in fact that was the first thing I tested!
Interesting thing my room-mate notices with his rotating case from BestBuy (that does have the sleep issue with the cover folded back); if he has it in portrait mode when folding back it does not sleep and he can then turn to landscape without issue, but if he has it in landscape first it will sleep right away.

Is there any way to order it in US?
Had a look on Amazon and eBay US sites, I don't see anything resembling the Veox. The Amazon UK seller shows rates for shipping to Australia & Far East, but not US. I'll email and ask.
Update: Vendor on Amazon UK will NOT ship to USA. Sorry.

What ever happened to "it's a small world"
I had one.
The magnets kept on shutting it off. It's totally useless.
(VEOx Case)
Really? The magnet in mine is behaving perfectly. Only puts the Nexus to sleep when it's supposed to. Maybe you had an inferior early version.
