2. Handhelditems.com They also have a clone but this one has the carbon fiber look. I've ordered from here and they shipped quick. They list as shipping internationally as well.

Good luck.
I just ordered this one with 20% off code "galaxytab20" which still works. Based on the description it should be fabric-ish material on the outside, not leather. For ~$20 not a bad deal for the tri-level cover.

I just got mine today, had my sister in the US bring it home to the Philippines. One of the downsides of being here, is that accessories like this don't exist.

I originally wanted the Zenus case, and found that there were a few people selling it here (imported of course) but for Php6500 (twice the price, equivalent to $150+). So I just had my sister buy this for me, and I can say that it's not what I expected.

It's very comparable to the Zenus case when I saw one and I'm loving it. :D

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

Sent from my Galaxy Tab
I have the T-Mobile (official Scoshe version) of this case. I live in a low-signal area (Edge only) and I observe no signal difference with the case on or off.

This has to be the best-designed case for the Tab. It protects it very well and adds almost no additional bulk. I especially like folding the flap around to the back. That little tab really acts as a stabilizer when using the Tab in portait mode.

THANKS going to order this one. Did you get it is it good? For the price i am taking a shot thanks for the xtra discount.
I wish I had that coupon code when I ordered. But still, at ~$20, it isn't a bad case. I like the tri-level positioning it offers. Mine sticks a bit in the upper left corner when folding, probably due to inexact manufacturing tolerances, but it's not a deal breaker for me.

Yeah its a good price either way. Mine comes today hopefully but now i just realized it probably wont work in the dock. So I am going to need to take it on and off (pain) and probably should have just gotten that little portable stand and a sleeve.

I bought the same at Handheld items.

If you use the coupon code 'galaxytabcarbon', you can get it for $14 + shipping.
i got this one also. only down side so far is the smell. i can't stand it and after 4 days it hasn't aired out yet.

it's like a vinyl costume smell but stronger.

lol, I noticed the smell too, but I figured it would dissipate over time. I've had it for about a week now, and it's definitely not as bad as it was the first few days.

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.
Great review man :)

The case is also available on www.expansys.com and the retail price is €38.08 shipping included.
This is such a real bargain. Compared to other crappy cases, this one fits the needs of everybody who aims at a safe protection for the SGT.

Cheers

Just received mine in the mail today & really like it! Got it propped up on my lap while typing this, and there's no movement from it at all as I type. Ordered it on Amazon Thursday morning and already got it today. Very slim case that adds virtually no bulk at all. If you're thinking of getting one, I highly recommend it. $44.99 with free shipping.

Thanks sooooo much. I have been looking for something like this. I bought it on ebay for $13. Best $13 I ever spent. Way better than the Samsung OEM one I spent $50 on. $100 if you count the one I bought my wife also.
