Looked for a nice case for my Galaxy Tab that would be both functional and attractive. The quality of the materials is very nice. Leather on the outside and a suede-like fabric on the inside. Also note that unlike other cases out there, there is a nicely stitched cut out for the camera and flash on the back of the case. The decorative band can either stay on the back or can be stretched around the case to keep it closed. Case is built to provide 2 viewing positions plus laid flat out. It does easily double the thickness of the tablet, but it is well padded and I feel a lot better about carrying my precious tablet around now.
Overall, a nice, well made case with just enough features and no added fluff.
Update: This case has started to show its true quality. The "leather" around the places it is held most has discolored significantly. An not a darkening from oils or other gunk. No this is more like the dye they used is fading into a nasty grey color. The material that holds the right side of the Tab is now deformed, and the elastic bands cause the Tab to extend past the rigid backing. This leaves the right side of the device very exposed. This shift has also caused the camera to lose alignment with the whole in the back of the case. This can be temporarily fixed by a little squeezing and shoving, but that is pretty unacceptable. Al in all, this case could have had a lot of potential but is ruined by poor materials construction. Acase Vintage Acme Brown Leather Case with Stand for Samsung Galaxy Tab P1000 WiFi 3G
Positive...
I like the outside of the case, 3 different angle positions, suede-like fabric inside.
Negative...
A very flimsey single edge to hold the Tab, and does not seem to hold it securely, the elastic straps barely fit over the corners. If you were to drop the Tab "it's toast". I purchased another case at the same time to compare, and this is not the one. It's going back for a refund.
I needed a reasonably-priced protective case for my new Samsung Galaxy Tablet, and this has mostly fit my needs. It is a handsome tan, padded leather (not vinyl) cover with an elastic strap to secure the cover and hold the tablet in place. The overall effect is quite elegant, as though I'm carrying a valuable book or gadget, which I am. Inside the case are two ridges that allow a viewer to rest the tablet on them as a platform for watching videos without having to hold the device.
The only reason I did not give the case 5 stars is that the elastic strap is beginning to stretch, while the inside straps that secure the tablet are so tight they are almost impossible to mount on the tablet.
This for me is the perfect case. It fits the Galaxy Tab well. It has enough protection, but isn't bulky. I like how you can fold the top cover behind the Tab for one handed ebook reading or game playing.
The easel stops are great for landscape viewing. While there is a bit less protection than some cases on the corners, this means that the cutouts are generous, so there's no chance of slightly covering the tiny speakers. They need all the help they can get!
The colorful elastic band that is used to close the case is pretty loose, so it's easy to wrap it around, when you want to secure the case. It may stretch out over time. If so, I plan to stitch a loop in it to hold a capacitive stylus.
The leather part on the right hand side is very snug, which is a good thing, as are the two small elastic straps securing the left side of the Tab. These totally secure the Tab in the case. No slipping around. And because the leather and straps are thin, it makes holding the case more comfortable than the thicker cases. Don't worry - there's plenty of padding and protection on the top and bottom covers.
The leather itself is nice and soft. It feels great to the touch. The stitching was even. Quite a handsome case in the tan color with a pop of color on the band.
All in all - the best case I've tried.
I searched a long time for the "perfect" case for my new Tab. This one is close, but not quite there.
Liked:
It is nice looking. I got the black one.
I like the method it uses for multi-angle viewing.
I like the elastic strap, although over time it will get stretched out and become less effective.
Disliked:
Flimsy leather retainer that does not protect corners.
The little elastic straps are fine as that side is protected by the binding, but the leather edge is very thin.
Case is a little on the bulky side. Thick and cushiony, not slender and tight. This is personal preference but I prefer the latter.
I am returning it and getting one at the Verizon store that has hard corner protection, is more slender, and has the same tilt viewing method. - Case - Netbook Cases'
