Costco Galaxy Tab 2 7.0

---

Not sure if this is common knowledge here, but Costco sells this tab for 240$ with a case. Just figured I'd let y'all know.

Yes, it's been posted a few times. They also offer the tab 2 10.1 with case for 379.99 at selected stores.

Oh okay sorry for the repeat thread.

Mods delete this if you want.

I might be wrong but I think it is more of a pouch than the actual case. Costco has the same offer on the 10.1 for $379.99

It is just a pouch, but it works good for me.

Picked it up to try but looks like I'll be returning..

- No ad hoc WiFi support
- No standard USB port to charge (must use Samsung cable to USB charge)
- Nearly every Gameloft game doesn't support 7"
- A few EA games work but are a bit sluggish

I really like it otherwise and would recommend if the above do not matter, but they are deal breakers for me. I tried a 10" too and find that 7" is mo betta for a mobile device. 10" just too big for me.

Nice thing about Costco is easy to return.

There is a way for ad hoc support. Few forums on that topic. Can use a previous wpa_supplicant file and replace it. Won't get into logistics but the tab needs to be rooted and permissions changed on the file and using Wi-Fi Tether change to a device profile w/SoftAp and you got tethering wirelessly. FYI.

Too bad for proprietary charger and games but extremely mobile.

If you are rooted you can fix two of your four issues and the charger is like that with any tablet you get.

I could see how not having a standard USB port would bother people, but that's nothing new to Samsung. Chances are that when people are doing their research online that they will see that.

I bought mine from BJ's Warehouse last weeek as it was on sale for $229 with the offical leather samsung pouch. (Samsung sells the pouch for $49 but I would not have paid for that as a separate accessory).

The tab was $20 bucks off but I purchased an extended 2 year warranty for $20 which includes accidental coverage. That gives three years total warranty, including the Mfr one year warranty (without accidental coverage).

If you are going to buy form BJ's they only have a 15 day return period for tablets but I have never had any return hassels from them.

I gave my wife my Original Verizon Samsung Tab 7 and I think she is hooked now on it.
