Default Samsung book cover case for galaxy tab 2 10.1?

Hello there,
I recently bought a Samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 and I was wondering if the official samsung book cover case will fit the device.

According to gsmarena the original samsung galaxy tab 10.1 has a size factor of 256.7 x 175.3 x 8.6 mm while the latter tab 2 model has a size factor of 256.6 x 175.3 x 9.7 mm. That makes tab 2 1.1mm thicker than it's predecessor.

I haven't seen a lot of cases for the tab 2 around and I though that might be because they have pretty much the same dimensions. However, that might not be true. Do you think the case will fit tab2? Has anyone tried it?

Thank you

To be honest I haven't seen many cases for Samsung galaxy tab 2. Certainly it's new but there should be at least an official case for it.

I can confirm the Tab 1 10.1 Samsung Book Case does not fit the Tab 2 10.1. A friend has the Tab 1 with book case and my Tab 2 will not fit properly.

Hello

Since Tab 2 is thicker than Tab 1. Will Tab 1 fit in the case of Tab 2?

The price is so great for the style one, but the style 3's quality looks good... i am thinking to purchase it...

no. 3 is cool, but just not same protection as the official GTab1 cover, no. 2 is OK, but looks a bit thick-ish... So for handling I would choose no. 3, for travel no. 2.
Good site BTW, I'm looking for some other (i.e. Non-Sammy) tablet-covers...
