Default Any Clip-In Case that opens the right way?

Hi there,

just got the offical Clip-In Book case by Samsung. It's nice, sturdy and well built but the fact that you're supposed to have the tab upsidedown (e.g. camera on the bottom) when using the case in "writing" mode is bugging me a lot (ie. apps like "Angry Birds" or the media player rotate to landscape, which results in being displayed upsidedown).

So...does anyone of you know a clip-in case, that's as thin/light (hey...it's thinner than the iPad2, would be a shame to add any unecessary weight/height) as Samsung's case but does open the right way? Also I kinda like the 20° angle of Samsungs "writing mode".

Greetings,

maui

Have a look at this review. It's alternate typing mode should satisfy your requirement. I'm considering this one myself.

That is a nice (but kinda pricey) case but I don't like that added leather border ontop of the Tab. I'd rather prefer a clip-in. I just really hope someone releases a case just like the Samsung Book cover but inverts it. Another option would be to somehow implement the system treating ORIENTATION.LANDSCAPE as 270°

It's a simple software fix to support everything and anything in 270 degrees mode. Just seems like it's taking forever for them to address it. =/

Another thing is the confusing product images. Most if not all images of the case provided by Samsung show the "typing mode" the way I think it's supposed to be (eg. samsung logo on the bottom).
