English term or phrase: snag a slice of
Hola! ¿Alguna sugerencia para esta oración?

It's difficult to remember a time before tablets, but we're coming up on just six short years since the original Welo iTab hit the scene, and the current tablet market was born. Since then, we've seen scores of manufacturers trying to snag a slice of the tablet pie

Gracias de antemano!

Explanation:
En términos de mercadeo (de donde es realmente originaria la frase en su totalidad), lo expresaría como lo sugerido (o con sinónimos).
