(8.9) Vipertek Case!!

[owlmatt]

I haven't gotten mine yet, but I used this case for my 10.1 and I loved it. Now it's even cheaper for the 8.9. Happy to write a mini review when I get the case but for this price I had to share. 10 dollars shipped. Hopefully this price stays that way for all of you.

It is very good! It looks very professional and the has a nice slim profile.

I got one for my new 8.9 as well, and though it shows its cheapness in the quality of the faux leather, the roughess of the cut and stiches, the thickness of the clip, etc, it is very functional and so for that price (10 dollars total) it is hard to complain and most likely I ll keep it too.

not recommended!

I got the deal thanks to the operator of this thread. great price and fast delivery - no complaints there.
However, the case has a serious design flaw - including bad design decision by Samsung as well. The onla way the case works for angled view, the bottom speakers of the tab sit in the shallow groves which are a soft material and i) they do not keep the angle stable and ii) forget about watching a movie or listening to music!
I turned the tab 180 degrees so the speakers face upwards but now the power button sits in the groves and tend to blank my screen from time to time.

Só if you do any form of multimedia then this case is not recommended.
sorry for the bad news but since the case got only 5star reviews in Amazon I felt a need to share a different opinion.
cheers chris

Which one thinner?

The amazon holding I also worry as it may come out easily.

I bought this case since it seems to be one of the better options currently, especially at the price. I am actually very happy with it. Someday I may replace it with a keyboard folio case, but for now it does it job and looks decent. Most of the other cases cover part of the front of the tablet and IMHO that looks tacky.

The Vipertek is definitely thinner. Don't worry about how well the Vipertek case holds the tablet. The connection is very firm, there is no way it will fall out accidentally.

for me I prefer to use my tab in portrait mode. is the 360 rotate case better or thi�s amazon case?

noreve case

This is a very nice case as well. No complaints except a little pricey, but it is on sale for the holidays! http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/noreve-tradition-leather-case-for-samsung-galaxy-tab-8-9-p32196.htm

$73, before shipping? Sorry, I'll stick to my Vipertek; pretty much the same case, it's made well, and less than $20 with Amazon prime. It's even got an additional slot inside the top cover for an extra viewing angle.

I got mine on Saturday and I love it!

Thanks OP for posting

 

[twingrls]

Thanks to the OP I am quite pleased with the Vipertek case. Beats the over priced bulky Belkin case I got with the tab hands down.

 

[orlandoxpolice]

Had mine for a while now. It leaves marks on the screen when closed for a while and the screen is dark, but you cant notice them when powered on.

Just got my Galaxy Tab 8.9 Vipertek case from the online jungle store. <grin>

I feel much better about my wife throwing the tablet in her purse and not scratching it all up. The only complaint I have, and I knew this when I bought it due to reviews at said online jungle store, is that the speakers are not very loud when using the adjustable viewing angles (they get buried in the soft padded base). But that is more of a design issue with the tablet than the case imo. The case is a tremendous value.

If you balance it right you can make it louder

Right. This case is now $25 on Amazon. TT_TT

But seeing all the good reviews here as well as there convinced me to go for it.
(I was about to get the Acase though, but I liked the Vipertek look and grooves better) It looks like this is the case to get

 

[pseudoheld]

now if only they had shipping to europe...cases like this cost 35€ and upwards over here. even with shipping this case would probably be cheaper than most of them over here
any ideas on how to get this to germany?
