I've been a long time user of a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5. I just purchased an IPP 10.5 and couldn't find a case I liked. The standard book cover case for the Tab S 10.5 is a great design with two buttons that snap into the back of the tablet. The case has three viewing positions and is stable in all positions, unlike the Apple Smart Cover. I looked for weeks for a case similar to the Tab S case for the IPP but was unlucky.
I realized that the IPP and the Galaxy Tab S 10.5 are off in dimensions by about 5mm each way. The IPP is 5mm taller and 5mm narrower. I had a plastic back cover for the IPP and decided to try to make one from that and my Galaxy Tab S case.
The mod only took me about 15 minutes. The buttons for the Tab are held in by tiny screws so I removed them, drilled two holes in the IPP plastic case, counter-sunk the holes so the screws wouldn't scratch the back of the IPP and voila!
The only drawbacks are the magnets are in different positions so it doesn't support auto wake/sleep and the IPP sticks out a few mm at each end but it's the plastic case sticking out. Small trade offs. Maybe I'll try to mod the case to put magnets in the right places next!
