It&#8217;s the tablet I want to upgrade to, and looking at those options, I&#8217;d go with Silver.<\/p>\n<p>Next is cover. What cover do I want. I don&#8217;t want an expensive one, nor \u00a0a cheapo one.<\/p>\n<p>I found a TPU case that I like the idea of. What I would want is a cover that a TPU case like that could slide in and out of. The only way I know of doing that is to buy a few cases and covers and see what&#8217;s what myself. This isn&#8217;t likely going to happen though, the tablet itself is pricey and putting $59 into the Official Samsung cover isn&#8217;t my favorite choice, and the TPU case is much cheaper (Amazon $8.99) but that is only a case for slip and edge\/back protection. It&#8217;s purportedly very thin, so I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;d slip into one of the case covers that has fabric edges to hold the cover and tablet together.<\/p>\n<p>The idea about the Official Samsung cover is nice, magnetically held onto the tablet plus wake sleep, and hold the s-pen magnetically. I have seen reports that some say that drains the battery. Of course that could be true but it might be something else causing it, not everyone complains about it. This cover may not be the best for protection though.<\/p>\n<h2>Size Comparison:<\/h2>\n<p>I currently have a Sony Z3 Compact Tablet. Screen Ratio from one to the other, the bigger Samsung S3 has 4:3 while Sony Z3 has 16:9<\/p>\n<p>My husband recently got a Samung S2. It has 4:3 as well. I compared the same movie playing in Google Movies &amp; TV. Thin black bars on my Sony, Thicker black bars on my husbands Samsung S2.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Comparable size of actual movie, so I wouldn&#8217;t be losing in size for movies.<\/li>\n<li>Gain in reading, and web and other apps.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So it&#8217;s a bigger tablet 8&#8243; is my Sony, 9.7&#8243; is the Samsung S3.<\/p>\n<h2>Bottom Line:<\/h2>\n<p>I have to figure out case\/cover before getting a tablet, protection is key. I&#8217;m waiting to see if the tablet goes down in price for any reason in the next month &#8230; Sale? Nice, that would be nice, but likelihood, I have nothing to base it on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking at Samsung Galaxy S3 Tablet lately, it&#8217;s only available in Black or Silver.
