Yesterday, 9to5Mac posted about a Samsung approved case for the Galaxy Tab called the “Smart Case.” This utterly blatant copy of the Smart Cover rapidly did the rounds of the tech blogs, and while it wasn’t made by Samsung, it appears to be made by a company called Anymode, which has close family links to Samsung. While this initial report said that Samsung had approved this shameless copy, giving it the “designed for Samsung Mobile” tag, Samsung has now disputed this.
Samsung is now claiming that the accessory was never awarded the ”designed for Samsung Mobile” officially, and that none of the cases have been sold. They released an official blog post saying:
In this case, approval was not given to Anymode for the accessory to feature this official designation. We are working with Anymode to address this oversight and the product has already been removed from the Anymode sales website. The product has not been sold.
Nice try!
