[Q] Does anyone have the leather pouch?

---

I love the look of the Galaxy Tab 10.1, and I take good care of my stuff so I don;t really need a think and bulky case. I saw the leather pouch on their webite, and thought it was perfect, since I just need something to protect it from bumps and scratches while carrying it.

Has anyone seen this, used it, had a hands-on with it? Does anyone own it?

Are there cheaper 3rd party ones?

Edit: This forum will not let me link to the pouch, but it is $29.99.

I had the book cover case on order but I ended up canceling it. I found a belkin case at best buy for $45 its thin doesnt add much bulk at all and it it folds into a stand. I just wanted something thin and easy to protect the screen. I'm not worried about dropping it.

I dont have the name or model number I left the box on my desk at work. I'll update later with the info. I couldnt find it on the belkin website or besbuy.

Funny thing the best buy employees didnt even know they had it when I went in last friday.

I bought the leather one that was right next to that one and I do not think it adds a lot of bulk to it but it def protects it and thats what is most important to me.

Yep, I'm with you, I didn't want anything too bulky with so many flaps, etc.
I'm glad I bought the pouch. It's perfect and it's a tight fit. Just to test how tight it is, I held it upside down with the opening side down and the Tab didn't slide out at all.

I got the pouch, it was free since I was one of the first 200 at the launch on the 8th. I use it daily but I will be swapping it most likely for the book case by samsung when I can get it a bit easier.......I have a belkin leather one that is still unopened lol idk it seems a bit bulky

I have the Belkin folio stand. I only bought it because of convenience. My cat nearly jumped on to my tablet while it was laying on the couch, so I wanted something to protect it (and the Samsung case isn't available yet).
The fit is very snug, and it folds up to various viewing angles. It has a nice elastic strap that can be pulled around to hold it shut.

It is a _little_ bulky. The selling point on this tablet is the weight and thickness. That being said, the case weighs almost as much as the tablet. So, don't get it if weight is important to you.

Overall it's pretty nice. Probably a bit overpriced. When people want to play with the tab though, I always take it out of the case. It's so much prettier without it .

The Samsung Book Cover case just shipped and should be here by week's end. I'll keep you posted on it. Personally, I don't like anything that I have to keep pulling it out and pushing it in. I feel it's a matter of time before a scratch occurs.

Please do, I have belkin one and just don't love it. The Samsung one is back ordered again, and would like your impressions on it.

Thanks for information on the cases, but I don't want a case anymore. I'd rather have a nice pouch or neoprene sleeve that will protect it from scuffs of traveling.

The thing is I don't want to spend $30 for a sleeve. I just want a nice sleeve that I can carry the Tab in, without breaking the bank. It doesn't have to be an "official" sleeve, as long as it fits, I don't care.

yea I agree with your statement especially since I use the keyboard and media dock. they wont fit with any case what so ever.......I even tried to take the docking station part off again like the directions say to make more room but was still unable to do so lol
