The newest and brightest Android tablet so far is the Galaxy Tab 10.1<\/strong>. It launched in the UK late last week, challenging the popular iPad 2 by being faster, lighter, thinner but available at the same price. Samsung have tried to one-up the Apple at every corner it seems, and succeeded in almost every regard, delivering a killer handset that is one of the first to truly take advantage of the new Android 3.1.<\/p>\n

If you’ve picked one up, you’ll be happy to know we’ve gone through our inventory and compiled a list of essential Galaxy Tab 10.1 accessories<\/a> for this top tablet, covering everything you’ll need in order to keep your new slate well equipped. Let’s get rolling!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Cases<\/h3>\n

Cases protect your Tab from scratches and falls, and some have other features like stands or built-in keyboards. They’re the first thing most people look for after buying a tablet, so we’ve helpfully listed them first. Naturally.<\/p>\n

The Case-Mate Versant<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0is one of the finest Galaxy Tab 10.1 cases, sporting a firm but flexible leather construction that protects your tablet and offers a well styled business look. The case protects against scratches and fall damage, keeping your Tablet looking as fresh as the day you pulled it out of the box.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Versant’s also got some interesting features. Once you’ve fitted the Tab securely inside, you can pull out a handy stiff leather stand, which will keep your tablet easily accessible on your desk. The stand has five different angles it can be set to, meaning you can adjust the tablet to an angle that suits you, letting you browse the web or play films hands-free. You might find it helpful to pick up a Galaxy Tab 10.1 screen protector<\/a> as well, so that while the tablet’s on the stand it remains completely protected from scrapes and scratches.<\/p>\n

It’s a great case, but you might be after something a little more cheap and cheerful Galaxy Tab 10.1 cover<\/a>. Our next case, the Cool Bananas Slip Case<\/a><\/strong>, comes in a refreshing red or pink color, and provides a slim neoprene barrier against bumps and scrapes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Its thin construction hides a unique shock-absorbing core, which dissipates potential impacts around your Tab instead of through it, greatly increasing the lifespan of your tablet.\u00a0The Cool Bananas case also comes with a handy zippered side pocket, which lets you store any other accessories you’ve got safely and securely.<\/p>\n

Overall, the Cool Bananas is a nice package and serves as a nice contemporary counterpoint to the more classical Versant we mentioned earlier. Either will serve you well, so pick your poison or check out the full range of Galaxy Tab 10.1 cases<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Docks<\/h3>\n

One of the nicest docks we’ve seen for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is Samsung’s official Keyboard Dock<\/a>, <\/strong>which as you can see provides a nice combination of a\u00a0Galaxy Tab 10.1 desk stand<\/a> and an integrated keyboard. The keyboard is small, matching the size of the Tab itself, but provides a full keyboard as well as quite a few shortcut keys (menu, home, back, search) which mean you can sit comfortably without moving your hands from the keyboard.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This keyboard dock is great for composing emails and typing documents, as you can really take advantage of the Samsung Galaxy 10.1 Tab’s super bright screen. If you like to listen to music as you work, there’s even an integrated 3.5mm stereo port for speakers or headphones. The whole thing can be used on the go, using the Tab’s charge to power the keyboard, or plugged in so that you can charge the Tab from the wall.<\/p>\n

It’s a very slick-looking setup, not least of all because it also matches the 10.1″ Tab’s colour scheme perfectly.<\/p>\n

If you’re looking for a more slimline media and charging solution and don’t need an integrated keyboard, the Samsung Multimedia Desk Dock<\/a><\/strong> provides it. This dock is slim and trim, offering the charging that you require as well as two useful outputs, 3.5mm stereo for speakers and HDMI for your HDTV.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>It’s a small but sweet offering, and should provide quite a convenient docking station for your living room. Of course, there are other docks available with their own features, so you can look yourself at the range of Galaxy Tab 10.1 docks<\/a> available.<\/p>\n

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Chargers<\/h3>\n

The last item on our list is sometimes the most important: the charger. If you’ve lost the original one (a mean feat at this time of writing, truth be told) or need another for your car, then check out our Galaxy Tab 10.1 chargers<\/a>, which include a good array of chargers, whether for your car, on your travels, or at your desk.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h3>\n

That’s all for now folks. As more cool accessories for the Tab 10.1 are released, we’ll be sure to cover them.<\/p>\n
