Default [Q] [Help] Slimmest, Lightest case for Galaxy Tab 10.1 3G.
Hey Guys,

I'm trying search for some sort of a folio case of sorts for the Galaxy Tab 10.1. It should be slim and should be able to keep the tablet slightly lifted to allow easier typing and also allow it to stand vertically. I have a folio case but lately it causes the screen to create the famous oil slick issue.

the only other decent looking case I found was this

Does anyone have any experience with the above or any other suggestions.

Thanks

I've got a smart cover on my galaxytab and love it. Barely affects the thickness and has the two positions you're looking for. Mine isn't pink though.=D

That's the one I got (only in grey/white). Good solid fit with no movement once it's locked in. It should do everything you need it to. The only issue I have with it is that you need to open fold back the cover to charge. Thinking about getting the craft knife out to cut a slot myself...

Edit: does anyone know if this case works with the Samsung desktop dock?? The cover needs folding back to reveal the charging port so wondering if that makes it too 'thick'...

Does the magnet actually keep the cover on? I thought I read somewhere that there's no metal for it to cling to.

This is the old style smart cover... you should purchase another style.

Yes, I'd like to know this too, does the magnet work?

This looks very much like the official book cover.
