Went to a store to get a 'case cover' for my new Tab and found something I liked. Only problem- it was 79,000won! Shocked

Does that sound right? Should a Tab case cover, albeit sleek, black, and sexy, cost around 50-60 bucks? That doesn't sound right no matter how I try to spin it.

Not sure if this is for the Tab, but the size looks right. Free shipping, I've ordered some NDS stuff from them before, other than about 3 weeks shipping the items arrived fine.

79,000 won is crazy.

My store charges 5,000 for a "jelly" case and 4,000 for a screen protector film.

Look here :

http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_goods/goods.asp?goodscode=198926487&pos_shop_cd=EN&pos_class_cd=90000001&pos_class_kind=T&keyword_order=galaxy+tab+case

u can get a proper leather case like a book case from 19000-25000 or so. u shd search more.

my wife got a leather case for Galaxy S for 10,000. for Tab, u shd be able to get for 20,000 or so. definitely not 79,000 won.

Thanks for the info guys! Was sort of hoping to find a place besides Gmarket, as I would like to see/feel the case before making a purchase. Unfortunately, that seems to be the only place where I can get a case that is reasonably priced.

Drew10, your store prices are great! Are you near Seoul by any chance? All the SK shop I've been to want 25,000-35,000 for mediocre case covers.

Unfortunately, no.

My store is in Gyeonggi province, outside of Osan Air Base.
