Edit: Wow, I try to do you people a favor and warn you against purchasing this case because it's not an adequate solution for tablet protection and get voted down? This is the reason those of us in the tech industry hate consumers. Just trying to help you monkeys make an informed decision.

I don't know what these other people are smoking but if you're looking for a case that will actually protect your Galaxy tab 7 (1 or 2) this is not the product you've been looking for. It's cheaply made and does't adequately cover the primary "smash points" on the tablet; so if you were to drop this it would most certainly still transfer the brunt of that force to the screen or body of your device. The corner bumpers are not shock absorbent and in the industry we don't generally a case "functional" unless it can keep a tablet safe 98% of the time being dropped from 4ft. Which is the average waist height of an adult male in the US as well as the safety point for most counters.

As a technician of 13 years I've seen and repaired HUNDREDS of shattered screens on cell phones, tablet PC's (such as the really expensive IBM and ASUS models), couch surfer tablets like this, iPods and pads (of all denominations) and even some micromonitors all caused by products like this. Don't get me wrong, I used this case for about two weeks while looking for an alternative and can tell you as a screen and body protector it works fine if all you're doing is storing in a work-bag. The tablet was dropped twice, once by my mother who should be on L-DOPA to help with the shakes that seem to kick up when she handles my expensive electronics. The second time was by me, with a hangover in the morning reading the paper on my tab 2 7.0. Both times my lungs froze, the second time was on the concrete floor in my shop which scuffed the hell out of the side casing and sent me straight out to get a practical case.

As far as a prop, this case is fine, hell it's even nice, but you can set this on a 1.25 picture stand and get the same effect while it has a real case on it.
