Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 metallic gray? Looks like the 10.1 is coming out in two varieties: a white plastic back and a gray metallic (made out of metal, not just in appearance) one. And both in 16 and 32GB forms. On B***B**'s website you can preorder either white or metallic gray types, but on Amazon it seems you can only preorder one type, and it's not clear which one it is (the pics show one with a black, probably plastic, back). Anyone know what the deal with this is, and if B***B** is the only place at this time to preorder the metallic gray version? I like Amazon because I can avoid sales tax ;) Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 metallic gray?

Thank you sir, that sounds very logical. I think I will go ahead and preorder here too, since I also have Prime, and return it if it turns out to be white and possibly just get it at a local BB. I checked out newegg and interestingly they only have the metallic gray, but I think Amazon will be faster with Prime since it's 2 day shipping and they tend to ship earlier for preorders so that you actually get it delivered on the day of release (6/17/11) -- which I'm hoping will be the case here.

Thanks for the (hopefully accurate) confirmation from Samsung. I saw the discussion on the 16GB version and was disappointed to hear it will be plastic. If they're both plastic, I'm not sure which one I want. Probably the white one, in which case I'll just pick it up from Best Buy despite the tax hit. I may have to wait until I see them in real life at BB to make my decision, after confirming for myself that it's plastic and which one looks better in real life. I'll post a follow-up on Friday after I hit BB...

Doesn't really come out and say it's metal, does it? While the "colder in the hand" is promising, it's all scuttlebutt at the moment.

Based on the model number, these are the metallic backed Tabs. Google search was positive directly from Sammy's site: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab-wifi-only/GT-P7510MAVXAB-reviewsNow what about the Samsung flip case Amazon??

It's definitely, definitely plastic. I played with one this afternoon. Only looks "metallic." Plastic. OTOH, it's about as nice a plastic as you can get. Would I prefer real metal? Of course - who wouldn't (the iPad just looks gorgeous). But this should hardly be a dealbreaker for anyone.

Thanks, I should have thought of that! Metallic back is definitely the way to go... can't wait to finally get one this Friday!

I thought it was metallic, but I asked a Samsung rep via live chat, they said it was plastic backed.

I just got off the phone with an Amazon rep. They are shipping the metallic gray backed model only on Friday 6/17.

I would think it is the metallic gray as those are the only two colors announced (white and metallic gray) and a black color hasn't even been mentioned. If you scroll down to the product description part, the tab appears lighter and more like the metallic gray should look like. If you want to order tax free you can also check out newegg(dot)com as they don't charge tax either. I would rather order from amazon also since I have prime but newegg also has free 3 day delivery and no tax. I went ahead and pre-ordered here. If I find out soon that it's not the metallic gray, I'll just cancel and pre order somewhere else.

As I recall, when I researched this for my purchase, the gray cable if for charging only. The black is for charging as well as other data transfer. The black is not compatable with galaxy tab 3, I'm not sure about other galaxy products.

I own a Note 10.1 and I don't own a Tab 10.1 Thats the only difference I know.

Well, you could always go to a walmart, bestbuy or apple store to see it in person. I got the white, but a friend of mine got the yellow and said it was more of a yellow/green to him.

I saw the gold version up yesterday for an hour or so available for pre-order then it went away. I'm waiting for the grey one to be put up. This will be my first tablet and I'm pretty excited about it.

If you ordered a White one, you're likely still waiting. I switched my order to a Black one late last week, and it arrived Tuesday. The black one has been both out of stock and back in stock since. I didn't cancel my order for the White case until the Black case version arrived and worked. I also called Amazon first to confirm the White one wouldn't be along in a day or two.

I have the 10.1 samsung tablet... My Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Aluminum Case Cover 2-in-1 Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard with Built-in Keyboard Stand (Silver with Black Keys) just arrived. I popped the tab into the keyboard and now can't get the tab out... NOT happy! It is stuck and will not release. Any help out there??? thanks!

It's funny that I was going to post the same exact question until I saw yours :PWell anyway's, I've been looking really hard at side-by-side pictures and size- The size the Galaxy Tab 2 is- 4.8 x 0.4 x 7.6 inches ; 12.2 ounces,while the size of the original tab is- 4.7 x 0.5 x 7.5 inches ; 13.6 ounces, which is ever so slightly different. :(And the camera's aren't in the same spot, in the original tab, the camera is in the more upper right part, but in the Tab 2, it's next to the mic.I was kinda bummed when I figured it out, since it looks like a perfect case, and you CAN'T beat $4.30.So I know, sad face, but if you wait they will start making some appliances for it.

That's why when I'm an early adopter for any tech, I would always buy from Costco. They give you a 90 day return policy.Otherwise, I would wait a couple months after release to see how the product actually does if I don't have that nice return policy.I got my Galaxy Tab 10.1 through Costco and I am thinking of returning it in October as I don't really have a need for the tablet.

Sorry I ordered this item for my Surface but ended up returning it back to bestbuys before the I received the case, so I made a running change to.the Samsung Galaxy 10.1. Good luck

You have good eyes to catch the problem and ask the right question before you place your order! No, they are not the same. There are two products: one has white back/blue front rim, and the other has middle grey back/blue front rim. However, Amazon's inventory has mislabeled the GREY/blue cases as white/blue." (Amazon is in the process of rectifying the problem right now.) I have just experienced the mixed-up problem with my order. As of December 29, 2012, Amazon web site shows the description of "White/Peacock Blue," but the seller of Blue Chip delivers the "Pebble GREY/Peacock Blue" although its bar code sticker on the retail package says otherwise. Obviously, one is white, and the other is middle grey. See Speck Products' web site for the difference between the two very similar products, "White/Peacock Blue" (http://cdn.speckproducts.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/s/p/spk-a0478_candyshell-for-iphone5-whitepeacockblue_straightfront3qback_1.jpg) and "Pebble Grey/Peacock Blue" (http://cdn.speckproducts.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/s/p/spk-a1644_candyshell-for-iphone5-pebblegreypeacockblue_straightfront3qback_1.jpg). See this link of "http://www.speckproducts.com/iphone-case/iphone-5-cases/candyshell-for-iphone-5.html" for more color choices. I hope it would help!

Not sure. Maybe they just sold all their preorder stock or something. I still have a delivery estimate in my order history for this tablet, so I guess we'll find out soon..

I ordered a black model when I first ordered mine and I got a Cosmic blue. At the time that seemed to be the most available color but that was a year ago. I always keep my phones in a silicone skin so you cant see the color anyway.

In the description does it say "digiland tablet 10.1"? No, it says "Galaxy Tab 4 10.1" so that would mean that it ONLY fits a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1.

I pre ordered the 8 GB in violet. Any idea when it will be available? The other colors are, but of course the color I like isn't! :P
