British retailer Phones 4u sends word that it's extended its deal offering Galaxy Note 3 buyers a free 7-inch Galaxy Tab 3 tablet for another week. And to sweeten the deal, the outlet is throwing in a free S View cover for all orders, both SIM-free and on-contract, placed online and in-store from today. The S View case provides a cutout for the phone's display, allowing you to view notifications and other information, unlock the device and even take pictures while the cover is closed. What's more, 4G contract customers will get a free wireless (presumably Bluetooth-based) speaker in addition to the tablet and case. Phones 4u says the total value of the tablet, speaker and case amounts to more than £300 of free swag. The new promotion runs through until next Thursday, Nov. 28, while stocks last. Source: Phones 4u
