Ipad2 Style Smart Cover

[PlayStation]

SG Tab 8.9 accessories are hard to come by. I have been in search for a case/pouch for a while and I could not even source for the official cases. So the other day I came across a Chinese made case for 8.9 and picked it as there is absolutely no other choice in my location. Turns out that the case is fit for the purpose. The idea is borrowed from Ipad2 Smart Cover but who cares for concepts as long as the case does the job?

The (Smart***)case is same as the ones found in this following website. I picked the Grey one......

I had the same, but really didn't like it. There's a lot of extra rubber on the side, with no purpose at all.

same here - ok for a minimum of protection in a pouch or bag.

But the quality is poor. I am very content with the blurex. Good Quality, reasonable price, stable and no unnescessary cover around the display.

Your Blurex case; when you open the cover, does it fold back flat against the bottom? Mine didn't, it stayed open at about a 20 degree angle. I didn't know if it was a design problem or isolated issue, so I sent it back and tried the Vipertek. The Vipertek doesn't have a problem folding back flat.

 

[cmtrion]

no, same here, 10 Degree tilt.

But I give it some time, i am sure it will come down

Is the vipertek of the same quality? So, this might be the better choice.

Same quality build, perfect fit. The cover even closes easier, and it folds back flat. Much happier.

I am using this one since I got the GTab, got it at Best Buy. So far so good, but I had to do two little mods to make it perfect for my needs: I cut it to make it a bit more open in the area where the VOL buttons go since the black "leather" opening bothered when trying to press the VOL buttons. I also included some tape on the sides inside to make a tighter fit for the tab (when the tab slipped from the right side a bit, that tape helped).

I second the blurex case (or whatever name it goes under, I happen to have gotten one that is not branded.) The case is verstile and seems to be holding up.

this case looks a lot like the pyroskins case that I have for my galaxy tab 10.1.
I can only assume that from the pics i see on amazon but everything about it looks the same. pyroskins is a very good case for daily activities.

Do you use/know this type of case?

If it fits well and has proper connection between plastic and display cover than it`s thing that I need

EDIT: Found this in 10.1 section http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17846745&postcount=24
Looks like pretty good and useable protection

Yeah, I bought 2 of these. And you know what? they are surprisingly good.

The white moulded plastic that surrounds the back of tab is really cheap, and never matches the outer colour of cover (unless you get white). But protection is on all corners, and the flap is slim and well made.

If they could do something better than 'just' gluing the cover/flap to the back of the white plastic, they could charge double or triple and I'd be all over it.

Worth the money. And both angles are useable and easy to achieve.

I bought this one too and it works well for me.

The blurex case was way to thick for me. That and it not folding back completely were my two main problems with it and why I didn't use it

I use an orange knock off smart cover now, it is much better for me than the blurex.
