The Samsung Galaxy TAB 10.1 is probably one of the best Android tablets on market today. It’s slimmer and lighter than the iPad 2, features powerful hardware and comes at similar price points with Apple’s tablet. If you don’t want iOS, then Galaxy TAB 10.1 should be on your shopping list [read our articles here]. Sure Samsung has some problems with Apple in Europe, but that’s not your concern if you don’t live in Germany, Australia and some other countries where you can’t buy one at this point. If you’re lucky enough to already own one then I’m sure cases and accessories are on your shopping list next.
AllTouchTablet will try and show you which cases, covers, skins and accessories for Samsung Galaxy TAB 10.1 you should be considering. Mind you that this post will cover only one fraction of the available options for you, so you might want to dig in more if what you seek is not on our list. So now let’s jump right in and see what accessories are available for Samsung’s 10 inch tablet.
Let’s start with a classic agenda style case with stand functionality, one of the most common types of cases and covers for tablets. For $25 you can get the rooCASE multi-angle leather folio, a genuine leather case with microfiber interior and tablet stand that can be adjusted between 45 and 90 degrees. A magnetic flap ensures the case stays closed during transportation and also makes it easy to open/close the cover. As with any respectable case this one leaves all ports and buttons accessible. Just make sure you don’t have the 10.1v P7100 European Edition and Verizon 4G LTE Galaxy Tab 10.1, as these models are not compatible with the rooCase leather folio case. Overall is a great choice if you’re not looking for something special. One more thing: you can get the Brown, Magenta and Red versions if you don’t like Black.

If you demand a more robust case I recommend the cheap Sleek Impact-Resistant Protective case accessory for Samsung Galaxy TAB 10.1 (the slim version). It uses hard and soft silicone to protect and prevent skidding and comes with two leather luggage tags. Since it’s a tight fit case all ports are accessible and there’s not too much added bulk to the package. It’s one of the best protective cases and looks great on your Samsung tablet, just like it came from Call of Duty Black Ops. Just keep in mind to get something else to protect the screen.

If you want an Apple Smart Cover like case you can opt for the CaseCrown Bold Trifold model, a normal a agenda style case with a screen cover and a back faux leather protective part. The screen cover can be folded in three, just like Apple’s product, and thus acting as a stand with two angles: one low for typing and one for media watching. A microfiber interior was used to avoid screen and case scratches of your Samsung Galaxy TAB 10.1 tablet.

This is the official hard leather case for Samsung Galaxy TAB 10.1. It’s actually a very nice design with a custom molded book cover. The case protects all corners and sides of your Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet against bumps and scratches. Due to its particular design it acts as an easel stand with non-slip feet at all edges. You can even use this with the official Samsung keyboard without having to take the tablet out. You can’t go wrong with something built by Samsung for Samsung. If $40 seems too much you can cut that in half and take the Samsung Galaxy Tablet pouch.

If you’re looking for a good Samsung Galaxy TAB 10.1 case with tons of features that doesn’t break the bank then you should consider the Acase Premium Slim Leather case folio, a normal agenda style case with a screen cover that acts as a stand thanks to a few grooves where you place the tablet to adjust the inclination angle. The exterior is made from high quality leather (Premium Litchi Grain Mark Leather according to Acase) while the interior uses microfiber to protect the screen and also to clean it up a little bit.

Let’s switch now to body and screen protectors. As the name suggets, ArmorSuit Military Shield is made from a carbon fiber like plastic, covers the back of the Samsung Galaxy TAB 10.1 completely and leaves all ports and buttons accessible. For complete protection a screen protector film is supplied which reduces grease and fingerprints, is scratch and abrasion proof, plus features erosion, puncture and impact resistance. All for under $20.

If you don’t believe in cases and covers, but you do want to protect your Samsung tablet during trasportation you can opt for the iLuv X-tra Padded Neoprene sleeve. It uses memory foam for extra padded protection and soft, thin, plush interior to prevent scratches. The multi purpose pocket can be used to carry accessories like chargers, styluses and what not. You can get the iLuv X-tra Padded sleeve in Black or Pink.

If you want an ASUS EEE Pad Transformer style experience get the Samsung Galaxy Keyboard Dock that features an integrated charging and media dock. This accessory also features Android hot keys which give you one touch access to key features like internet, e-mail, music and video controls. It’s a nice white keyboard that reminds us of some Apple chiclet keyboards.

The Samsung Galaxy Desktop Dock is an interesting desk stand with pass-through HDMI (HDMI adapter sold separately). It can be used to charge the tablet, synch to your PC and even pass sound to external speakers thanks to a 3.5 mm audio jack at the base of the Desktop Dock. This is an accessory built by Samsung, so it doesn’t come cheap.

If you miss the USB host functionality of some Android tablets on market you can get the Samsung USB connection Kit. It does exactly what you expect: offers a full size USB port so you can connect peripherals to your tablet.

If you plant to travel a lot, especially to foreign countries you need something like the detachable multi travel charger with USB to 30-pin data cable. As you can expect various international power plugs are provided for compatibility.

Domnule Popa,
Doresc sa-mi cumpar o tableta si nu ma hotarasc intre Asus Transformer 3G si Samsung Galaxy TAB 10.1. Scopul utilizarii este mai mult business.
Un sfat mi-ar prinde bine.
Multumesc!

If you want to do business on a tablet I highly recommend a Windows 7 tablet, not Android and certainly not iOS. One of the best Windows 7 tablets is the Lenovo X220 Tablet or if you want a slate the ASUS EEE Slate EP121. If you still want one of the two Android models then I recommend ASUS Transformer 3G with the keyboard dock stand.
