Scosche Galaxy Tab Leather Case (from TMo Store) - Review

---

I just picked up the Scosche case from a TMobile store.. I had to hunt around for it, most stores only had the Incipio case. A warning on that one, do not buy the incipio case, the tab that acts as a stand is held in by 2 very tiny plastic nubs and mine broke within 1 hour of owning it.

On to the review!




The case is extremely well built on the inside and outside, the leather is wrapped around a very sturdy frame. The case attaches to the Galaxy Tab at two main points on the top and bottom. It sort of hugs the tab, it feels extremeley secure, and no amount of shaking could free my tab from the case. All of the buttons/ports are open and every corner is cusioned from drops.




The case features a very unique method of standing up, that I find superior to any case I've tried thus far. Because the corners aren't secured to the case, the case can piviot around the device allowing the tab to sit within the grooves on the top cover. This allows it to have 3 levels of orientation, the back groove, the front grove and against the latch. The latter is preferred for typing on the device, as it places the tab at just the right angle. While angled, the device is very secure, and not wobbly at all.

There are two advantages of this case style over other cases.. one the top cover is hidden under the device while in use, and the other is that the angle can be changed, unlike most flip-out tab covers.





Finally, the case closes by 'hugging' the device in much the same way the case grips the device, there is almost no chance the case can come open accidentally.


That's all folks, if you'd like more pictures let me know! I hope this is helpful for anyone looking for a case. Right now I believe it is only available at TMo for $50. I would give it a look before spending $70+ on a similar case.

I have this case as well and love it!..I have the black leather one...They didn't have the white or carbon fiber one in stock..I've had it for almost 2 weeks and just love this case...wish I bought one for my ipad instead of the apple case!

Can you check radio and gps signal with the case on and off. with my zenus I see drastic differences

azhad, can you comment on the signal loss you are seeing with the zenus? I have one on the way and will be very disappointed if it impacts my tabs performance. Im currently using the verizon version of the schosche case. Great feel of the leather and very slim. Ill keep using it if the zenus is a bust

I don't see any change in signal strength when I take it off, but then I'm in a good signal area.

How well does it do the flipping the front cover all the way over trick, for compact one-handed use? Kinda looks like that rigid clasp might be a bit of a problem.

Got a very similar or the same case from the verizon store only difference it came without the Scosche name on the outside , im very happy with it also.

Good review, I totally agree. There's nothing like a well thought out/designed accessory and this is one of them.

I have this case and when the cover is flipped back the little nubbin that serves as a latch actually rests nicely on my middle finger while reading one handed. It's perfectly comfortable.

For those interested, Boxwave appears to have the exact same design except in a carbon fiber type pattern. You can view it boxware dot come. Sorry can't post links yet.

I think this one is a little cheaper as well.
