Help with tablet case please

glasshalfempty

I just got a Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet and I ordered a Belkin Pleated Case which is designed for the iPad. Belkin have said this will probably scratch the Galaxy Note 10.1 as the tablet is 2CM longer than the iPad. But I'm not, can someone help? I'm worried it is going to get scratched now

These are the product details for the case...

Belkin Pleated Sleeve for iPad in Purple (Compatible with New Apple iPad 3rd Generation HD)


Brand: Belkin
Item Weight: 240 g
Product Dimensions: 19.1 x 24.4 x 1.4 cm
Item model number: F8N277CW091
Color: Plum

easy

I have to ask ...

If you have a samsung galaxy tablet, WHY have you ordered an iPad case ???

Looking on Amazon, there are plenty of cases for your tablet ..

Because it looks better and more sturdier

Think the answer is it probably will .

Doubt if any feedback on users using this setup probably don't exist .

Make sure your Note is a N8000, as cases are designed to tailor fit different models to allow access to cameras and charging points.

I'm sorry, I've worded it a bit wrong. It's not a case, it is a sleeve, I call them cases though I don't like cases that it stays in.

If you search Amazon for the product name in my OP you will see the case.

The case you bought will not fit, there is a difference of ~20mm between the note and the ipad. looking at the case measurments itself: Product Dimensions 19.1 x 24.4 x 1.4 cm. In other words, it aint gunna fit!

There is what seems to be called a Max case which seems to be the same as the ipad specific case, but searching that doesn't come up with sites, cept this youtube:

However it might just be below. So search belkin, sleeve, and 10.2 and you should get some results back that suitable. N.B not recommending the below url, just a random auction picked up.

I just noticed something, the one I ordered is in black and has different dimensions for some reason.

The dimensions for the one I ordered are
30.2 x 21 x 3.4 cm

And after a bit more searching I pulled up a product page for a belkin neoprene sleeve for 10.2 notebooks, Galaxy note 10.1, iPad, etc, with these dimensions
29 x 21.2 x 2.6 cm

So that changes everything, as the sizes are nearly the same? Would you say it would fit okay going by the above dimensions?

The dimensions I pull up are H 257.8 mm, W 175.3 mm, D 8.9 mm
So should fit, might be tight, depending on inside dimensions. Usually the case dimensions are externally, so depends on what the large filling is, if anything.
