I found one cons on Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7″ is the size. Even it wider than P6200 but when i bought a screen guard they couldn’t found for it and suggests to uses P6200 one. I agree but unfortunately they must cut the upper of the screen guard for 2 mm to make it fit to Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7″. Why they must cut if P3100 wider than P6200?
