Samsung? GALAXY TAB 10.1 PU LEATHER FOLIO STYLE CASE - BLACK

Like many others, I was VERY leery of purchasing a product that had such a low price... particularly when coming from overseas. But I thought, "what the heck; it's worth $3 just to find out." I am very glad I did. I have zero issues with this product. It fits, it's secure, all the ports/holes are uncovered (with the singular exception of the power jack when the folio is closed - but that's something for Samsung to address).The estimated arrival time was about a month, since it was coming from so far away, but again I was impressed. I think the actual delivery took about two weeks, so even that exceeded expectations.Someone complained that the use of the term "PU leather" was misleading, and that this product was made of plastic. I looked up "PU leather" and the PU does stand for polyurethane, which is layered on top of the actual leather. To me it looks, feels, and smells like 100% leather; some may disagree, but I'm very happy. Beyond that, the stitching is well done - there are no loose threads anywhere - and no blobs of glue or anything else. Frankly, if/when I get another tablet, I will seek out this manufacturer to see whether they have a folio that fits. This is excellent!

I purchased my Galaxy Tab 10.1 the day it became available on Amazon, and I wanted a case as soon as possible. There were other cases that were not yet available, but this one was, and it was a bit cheaper than most of the others. When I received it I was pleasantly surprised with the quality and fit. The PU(synthetic)leather is nice and is very hard to tell from the real thing. It has openings for cameras, head phones, and power and volume swithces. There is an openeing for the charger, but the cover has to be open to access it. From what I have read, this is the case with most other cases for the new Tab 10.1. The cover stays secure with small embedded magnets stitched into the corners of the cover. The easel option works fine and allows upright, or flat angled viewing. I dont know why it is not available anymore, but I would recommend it if it does come back for anyone that is looking for an inexpensive case for their Galaxy Tab 10.1.

Pro's:- Good value, for $15.00 it's lot cheaper than the the more expensive cases- Has magnetic clasp- Case can stand up at various angles- Case has good feel to it, easy to grip and not slippery; smells like leather even though it's notCon's- Workmanship is so so; Interior cut outs are slightly crooked. The opening for the webcam is bent upward- Flap is cheap and thin. When closed, it does not lay flat, but more like a small speed-bumpAnd the major annoyance, There is no cut out for the Sync connector. In other words (short of cutting a slit yourself) you CANNOT charge the unit in the case, with the flap closed. When I need to charge it, I need to open the flap, and tuck it back to expose the connector. . .If I had the chance to buy this again, I probably will, but only because I'm too cheap to pay more than $15.00 for a case...

If I had written my review on day one, I would've made a jerk of myself. You see, the charging port didn't line up, the headphone jack was covered and so was the camera lens. A strap partially covered the volume rocker switch. This stupid thing didn't fit at all. Thank goodness I gave it another look a few days later. I had slid the Galaxy Tab in the wrong way. I need one of those facepalm gifs right now. If you get one and nothing is lining up, take it out, rotate it 180 degrees and slide it back in.The only negative thing I can think of, and this is certainly the reason I slid the tablet in backwards, is that the case has to be open (you don't have to remove the tablet) to expose the charging port, but the alternative would be to hide the headphone jack and you're likely to want to have a headphone plugged in while carrying it closed. It's hard to imagine getting a nicer case in this price range.Shipped right on time with Amazon Prime.

I purchased this case with very low expectations (for less than $8 shipped I expected complete crap).Pros:- Durable look and feel for a $4 case.- Once the case loosens up a bit, the magnets hold it shut nicely.- Contrary to the "not fitting" and "slipping out" reviews, this product appears to have been updated. There is a velcro strap that folds behind the tablet (on the inside) that secures it on all four sides.Cons:- Unlike cases with the notched top that folds underneath, this case is pretty unstable when in the upright position. It will stay upright on a flat surface, but will tip if the screen is used without being supported.- There are cutouts for every port and speaker, but the speaker and camera cutouts are just slightly off. I have had to make small cuts in the case to be able to use the camera, as both cutouts obscure them.- Corners of the tablet are not well protected. This case is good for keeping the surfaces scratch-free but not so good for physical protection.You get what you pay for, and I do wish that I'd found something a little bit better.

This case is almost perfect, but there is 2 things wrong with it. First, the case covers a tiny bit of the bottom buttons when in landscape (like where the home button is). You can still push it, so its not a major problem, I just wanted to point that out. Also, the case covers like a millimeter of the front camera. Hardly noticable when taking pictures or skyping, but there is a teeny amount (maybe a centimeter or 2) of a black mark off to the side. Not a big deal for me, and it is an easy fix with an exacto knife. Overall this is a great case, for a great price, and I would reccomend it to anyone!!
