The case fits the GalaxyTab well and seems to be well made. Good corner protection, doesn't block any ports, makes the tablet feel like a thin book rather than a fragile piece of electronics. It's pretty much exactly what I was hoping it would be.The case has one *glaring* defect. The inner fold (that secures the tablet in the case) has a FAT piece of velcro holding it down. It creates a huge rectangular bubble in an otherwise svelte and elegant case. The strange thing is that the velcro is totally unnecessary the flap holds the tablet in place perfectly without it.
Two minutes with a seam ripper, the velcro (and corresponding lump) is gone. I expect that the odd rectangular imprint will eventually stretch out of the leather, but it's not too big of a deal.
It's really strange how a company could build a product so nice, and then tack on this odd piece of fail. Fortunately it is easy to remove. If you have a razor blade or a sharp knife available, you won't be disappointed with this product.
1. You cannot charge the tablet with the cover closed. There is no cutout on the case for the plug.
2. The holes for the camera should be larger. I have taken quite a few pictures with the blurry edge of the cover entering the frame. Not good
Fix these issue and they will have a great productI wanted a cover that protects the slim Galaxy tab while not adding any extra bulk. I was concerned that a leather case that covers the bezel would be bulkier than I wanted. Don't be concerned about that at all! Even the hard leather front cover is thin as a hardback book cover and adds minimal depth to the profile of the slim tab.
The cutouts are positioned perfectly for the buttons, speakers, charging port and cameras. I do wish that design was configured in the opposite orientation, so that the charging port was accessible with the cover closed that would allow charging while the screen is protected and for the charger or other adapter to be in place while the stand is in use. Since the screen display reorients to whatever direction the tab is held, there is not really an 'up' or 'down'. I haven't received my adapter yet to use a USB flash drive, but I can see that the cover will need to be folded back to accommodate it. Though, this also seems to be the same orientation as the clip on cover that Samsung is selling as a companion accessory.
The leather on the outside of cover appears tough and doesn't seem to be easily scuffed, all the stitching is even and unfrayed with security 'backstitching' at all the edges. the inside is soft sueded microfiber, so it should be easy on the screen.
All in all, I love the case and the red color adds the extra 'pop' that is fun.I love the color and leather feel of the case, however the suede on the side of the tablet is very unpractical, it gets dirty very fast. Another problem is the quality of the case. I had it for 6 month and unfortunately it is falling apart in the seams. I contacted company, but didn't hear anything back.Perfect fit for the Galaxy tablet and supports the tablet in two positions (see photos). Made of very nice material that so far has shown no signs of wear at all. The case is slender but provides a good bit of protection to the screen.
