This is a question about "topical" accessories for the Galaxy Tab 8.9 series of tablets.

I personally have the SGH-i957 from AT&T and I know that the processor is different than other models, so the rooting methods, kernel, roms, etc. are all different. Obviously the screen sizes are the same, but how about the device "body" size as far as thickness and corner roundness/squareness? Are the cases and screen protectors universally compatible with each other or are they all different sizes too? :(

As far as I know it is the same. I bought a case designed for the old tab 8.9 and it works fine.

Ended up going back to AT&T to see what they had. I bought the Belkin Verve Folio Stand case and the BodyGuardz screen protector.

The case is very nice and the tablet fits snug inside. There are several viewing angles available depending on your relationship to the tablet. The think I like about this one too is that it is just a smooth vinyl and not "pleather". I really dislike things that try to look like leather but are not! =)

BodyGuardz screen went on pretty easily...much easier than say a Zagg InvisibleShield and there were no airbubbles, dust particles, visible figerprints, etc. after placing it on the screen. Also I didn't have to wait for it to dry or set and put it right into its case afterwards. It is also very smooth to the touch like the stock gorilla glass screen with no orange peel visible at all.
