Remember the Anymode Smart Case that looked almost identical to Apple’s Smart Cover? Well it turns out that Samsung didn’t give the accessory “Designed for Samsung Mobile” seal of approval.
In a blog post, Samsung says that they are working with Anymode to address the oversight as to how the certification was attached to the look-alike cover designed specifically for the Galaxy Tab 10.1. The blog post also states that the “product has never been sold” and “Samsung Electronics reviews and approves all accessories produced by partners.”
Interesting.

Apple and Samsung have a very complicated relationship. Currently, the two tech giants are embroiled in a legal battle in which Apple claims Samsung is imitating “the appearance of Apple’s products to capitalize on Apple’s success”. Not to be outdone, Samsung is counter-suing Apple, who is also one of Samsung’s biggest customers, as Samsung manufactures A4 and A5 processors for Apple.
And things just got even more interesting with the unveiling of this — the Smart Case for the Galaxy Tab 10.1. At first glance, you’ll be forgiven to mistake the Smart Case for Apple’s Smart Cover for the iPad 2.
The Smart Case is manufactured by Anymode, one of Samsung’s unofficial, official accessories manufacturer and it looks like Samsung is endorsing the Smart Case, but it’s no big deal, because it doesn’t look like the Smart Case will be coming to Malaysia anytime soon.
What will be coming to Malaysia real soon is the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. An official launch is expected within this couple of weeks. Stay Tuned!
