So I went to Walmart after hearing I might find a stand for cheap and I was surprised at the results. I got a decent stand that fits the g tablet in landscape and portrait mode for $1! I did test fit the other ones but settled one the $1 and the $3 ones. I have to say the cheaper one is my favorite. I just put a bit of tape on the bottom so it wouldn't slide, even though it holds it firm. I would suggest this stand to anyone that needs a temporary stand. I have uploaded all the ones I seen at Walmart. Here you go, have a look.

Thanks man I splurged and got the 3$ stand. I liked it because I can fold it up. Definitely works like you said it does have a tendency to want to slide but other wise perfect. Thanks for posting.
I have been using a business card holder as a stand. Works great in landscape, but not portrait. $2 at staples.
Little glue does the trick
i picked one up aswell. But after doing a quick browse thru walmart's clearance aisle, i found a get-a-grip pad for $4.
So i cut the pad (4 strips) and super glued them to the stand. Now i have a no scratch/no slip stand. I love being crafty
I got one of those transparent stands shown in the first set of pics. Works fine, actually, and looks like it belongs with the pad.
The folding and lightweight nature of it is great too.
I might try this, thanx for the idea!
I bought a book gem from amazon. It works really well and it folds nice and flat so it fits in my case perfectly. I use my GTab at work so having it sitting up is a must. The position makes typing really easy and quick.
Another nice thing is that I'm able to use it in portrate mode and hang it from my steering wheel so I can read my book (Kindel app) while I'm sitting at Sonic having lunch.
Sorry, can't post a link, but here is what it's called.

I use the same exact stand and I love it. My fiancée was the one who suggested it would fit and I have been using it every day since. Love that it folds up and and travels in my back pack perfectly. Great idea with the get a grip, I'm doing that asap!

I am not sure, however, after exploring the tablet software a little bit there is an awesome desktop dock application that shows the weather, the htc clock, and facebook updates. So I take it we will see a home dock in the near feature. I wish a car dock would come out, but because of its size and legality of videos playing while driving, we probably won't see one of those.
The only two accessories that I know of are:
HTC Scribe Pen - $80
Anti-Glare Screen Protector @ AT&T - $20
- Dan
Actually, if you go to Amazon and search for HTC Puccini, a tpc case also shows up. No case, though....soon, I hope!

For anyone looking for decent case that fits the HTC Jetstream until cases that are made for this product reach the market. I have been using a Targus (Truss Leather Case / Stand) Model Number THZ07002US from Best Buy.
It’s a case that was made to fit an Acer ICONIA TAB A500 10.1 pad. It works as a cover and a stand that has three viewing angles in stand mode. It also has a slot for the styles pen but it’s a little bulky, doesn’t fit as tightly as I would like and it covers the back camera. All that said you can easily reach the on off switch, head phone jack, volume controls and even plug the unit in without taking the pad out of the case.
I still want to buy a case made for my unit that lets me use the back camera and that fits a little better but until they become available I needed some thing to protect my new overpriced but amazing Jetstream.
Looks like PDAir will be making some and rooCASE will have some nice ones ready October 19 on Amazon...they look nice.
scribe pen
is the scribe pen still coming free with the device if its bought in store? thanks
Yes, until October 15...
Pen Issues
I bought the unit in person last week, just before closing on my way home from work. The ATT store did not include the pen with my purchase and I forgot to ask for it. I went back in the am to get it and boy did it get interesting.
They started out with the story that the Pen only was included if you bought the data plan on a 2 year commitment?
I said really? Show me where it says that? I have seen the pen offered in EVERY AD as free with purchase for a limited time.
We went round and round and the finally relented but what a PIA....
ATT is truly clueless when it comes to it's own products, promotions etc.
Love the Jetstream, dont love the hoops you have to jump through.
How about NO ONE knowing when the LTE network is turning on?
Why am I paying for a data plan for something that is not ever available yet and has no timeline?
I passed on the data.
Have unlimited wifi tether on my rooted inspire so that's my dataplan.
Yeah I didnt think they were all coming with pens, hope mine has one with it ><
Didn't have that issue. I am WiFi only and they asked to register me and I said I didn't really need to because I was using it only on WiFi networks. Got the pen nonetheless.
I think you are supposed to have a data plan, but the advertising was hazy....and the ATT rep said without me asking that I got the pen. I really think it depends on the person.
ATT doesn't have good reception in my neck of the woods, so Sprint is my provider. like you, Tracy, I just tether.
Skinomi has screen protectors and skins. There is also a 25% coupon.

Coupon code is skinomi25 plus free shipping.
They are good skins. Apply like Zagg but no orange peel. They are slick.
Case/cover for Jetstream
Picked this case up on Amazon last week.
http://www.amazon.com/HTC-PUCCINI-S...H4TA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1316444249&sr=8-3
For 9.99 was not expecting much....Case is great....Soft and flexibile. Covers the back and all the corners and makes holding easy.
I recommend highly.
Tracy
Has anybody heard about a folio case that allows it to stand up, much like the Xoom case? It's really the only thing I find the device is missing.
Melkco says they are working on one. So does PDAir. RooCASE will have one ready mid-October....you can see the rooCASE on Amazon. PDAir on their own website, and I conducted Melkco on my own....
Looks like we will have to be patient. The gel case on Amazon works well for the time being....
found this new case on ebay - looks good - will order one and see how is it
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sikai-Mibro...985919?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2eb825e17f
Found this case on the HTC website. It is the official case. I assume it looks just lile the Flyer case..
http://shopamerica.htc.com/product/productpop.htm?prId=39802
Due to being in a rush, i got this case for $70 at WalMart
www.kensington.com/kensington/us/us/p/1615/K39336US/keyfolio™-bluetooth®-keyboard-case.aspx
Had to make some mods such as cutting a big hole for the camera and cutting some of the elastic for clear the volume and power buttons. Also cut some of the front 'frame' so the screen is fully visable.
IMPORTANT: Just be aware the two/three small holes on the top of the Jetstream are light sesons for the flash/camera, so the hole you cut for the camera must be big enough allow light access to those small holes. The BT keyboard works great with it too.
did u get the case?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150685447...47815&_sacat=See-All-Categories&_fvi=1&_rdc=1
I saw that yesterday. It also comes in pink but I would prefer a case that has a place for the scribe pen....:-\
I saw this case for the TFP from minisuit and was wondering if anyone was using it. It says it allows for the keyboard to be attached while the tablet is still in the case.
http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Transfor...4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1329771405&sr=1-4
seems interesting
$14 bucks, seems decent to try
i ordered one
will report when i get it
curious how well it fits and protects the dock. Appears to be a slim option. Unfortunate it comes from minisuit as they take very very long to ship. Over 10 days in both of my instances
Anybody actually using this one? I noticed that they changed their advertising for it recently. It no longer lists the cutout for the keyboard...
The Google cache version of the site can be brought up to show the old wording. (Can't post links yet)
this case doesn't protect the dock, it just allows dock use since the bottom clips can be detached, which allows you to slide it into the dock. I don't own this, but I own a case that is exactly the same.
This is the exact same case as the Moko/poetic/vipertek versions:
http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Slim-Fit-Multi-Angle-Transformer-10-1-Inch/dp/B0063Q3G3I/
http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Stand-Leather-Angle-Adjustable/dp/B006PWGESY/
http://www.amazon.com/VIPERTEK-Premium-Leather-Transformer-10-1-Inch/dp/B006OZTNIK/
These are made by some factory in China and Moko/Minisuit/Vipertek/Poetic/etc just buy a big lot of them, brand them with their logo and sell them as their own. Good price on it though and a more established brand name than some of the other no-names rebranding this case, so it seems like a win/win.
With regard to the keyboard being used with the case on, many have reported that the keyboard can be used with the case on. The dock rests on the top of the leather lip and it makes it a tiny bit more top heavy than it already is but if you have your hands on the dock typing it doesn't really matter. You can fold the case backwards to prevent it from resting on the lip but you need a fair amount of desk space for that to be an option.
Just ordered mine...should be here in a few days!
Im starting to wonder if I'm terribly unlucky or just plain doomed here.
I've so far bought a Mitab folio case which while managing to hold the tablet reasonably is clearly overstressing the docking aspect and doing damage to the tablet when I try and dock it. Without both parts in the case the tablet cover has the appearance/feel of an illfitting old book.
I then got a random folio case off ebay, allegedly a Moko Multi Angle Case and its terrible, it doesnt fit right and you cant use the camera.
I was then going to just get the ASUS Transleeve but apparently it scractches the back of the tablet and its hinge/connecting mechanism is made of fail.
So I ask you, XDA, which (if any) case is decent enough for the Prime?
Ideally I wanted something that I can dock while using, but thats seemingly out of the question, so I just want a nice case that doubles as a stand and doesn't look terrible.
Suggestions please (pref with Amazon UK links!) Would a "genuine" a Moko Multi Angle Case be the way to go, or perhaps the "premoium MoKo Case?
Cheers!
I am more than happy with my 2 UK cases.

I got this one and love it. Inside suede is black not grey and it fits really tight and snug and doesn't fall over when standing.
GreatShield on Amazon
I bought a Targus - Truss Leather Case/Stand. Just bought it because it was at Best Buy when I bought my tablet. Figured I'd use it for protection until I found a better/cheaper one, and then return it. I have read most threads on here about cases an also looked elsewhere online at cases quite a bit and have yet to see a case that I liked as well, much less better. I payed $40 US for it, though I'm sure it can be found cheaper online, but I really really like the fit, function, and quality of it. I would recommend it to others without any hesitation.

The greatsheild cases are by a mile the best case arround, slim and they look good too.
Dont consider anything else.
I keep mine on when docked and just put the flap under the dock.
You can find them on ebay from china and cost about 13 squid delivered, the only prob is waiting for delivery. But its not that long.
Hi Ady,
I have the premium Moko case you linked to.
My review is up on Amazon for this case too
I really like it, the Primes fits into the case perfectly, all the ports are accessible with the case on, as is the camera and flash.
I'll get some photos taken so you can see the fit.
Are there any good folding stand cases with access to the charging port while the thing is closed?
I found this Moko Premium folio one, which does look great as nitram says, other than it being folio rather than folding type:
amazon (dot) com/MoKo-Slim-Fit-Multi-Angle-Transformer-10-1-Inch/dp/B0063Q3G3I/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1332907452&sr=1-2
But as I said, I'm looking for more of one these folding types like, but neither of them show if there is a hole for the charging port while they are closed:
amazon (dot) com/MoKo-Folding-Transformer-10-1-Inch-Android/dp/B00565T3ZW/ref=sr_1_17?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1332909457&sr=1-17
OR
amazon (dot) com/Transformer-Prime-UrbanFlip-Series-Viewing/dp/B006WU9YMW/ref=sr_1_38?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1332909089&sr=1-38
Does anyone have them and can say or show if they have the port hole?
Hmm, interesting point there Alex.
Using the case as a stand (the Moko premium) the charging point is not accessible.
However, if you take the Prime out and put it in upside down then the charging point is at the top and thus accessible.
If I use the case with the front part of the case folded right back, then the charging point is fully accessible, but..... you have to unplug it, folde the case back, then plug it in again.
If you have or found a good case, post it here.
I bought the official case from TMO. It's a little pricey but provides excellent protection. As a matter of fact, the faucet in my bathroom leaks and I left my tablet on the counter one night. I woke the next morning and my tablet was sitting in a puddle of water that extended halfway up the case. Took the case off, wiped everything down, and plugged it back in. Worked fine. Even the liquid indicator was still white.

Ditto on the TMO case.. seems $20 too high, but honestly a pretty good hunk of hardware for your tablet. I will have one spare once I have my tablet mounted into my car dash..

Another vote for the TMo case and you are right about the price but you can buy it off Ebay for about $20 less unless you are like me and want it right now.
Can anyone pls post a picture/link to this TMo case?
Would like to know how it looks, whats the price and where to get it.. thanks

The brand is Incipio and I purchased mine from a TMo store for like $50. I had seen the same one on Ebay for half the price but I didn't want to wait. I checked Ebay and the case is no longer listed. I also looked on the Incipio web site and they don't even list it. I don't have a picture but the case is black and the tablet kind of snaps down into the bottom part of the case. You can open the case(it is held closed with an elastic strap) and you have three positions that the tablet can be set into. They range from a fairly good tilt to darn near upright. I have found the case to be quite nice and it really doesn't add much to the overall size. Hope this helps.

Pictures attached.
On the second picture, you can see bubbles in the microfiber. That's the glue separating because I got it wet.
I bought on ebay a smart cover like this from the auction 170821966479. It's thin, good protection and a good stand. I am very happy with it.
The TMO case is so popular in the US, but outside there are two options: universal 7 inch case or a not so bad case designed for the media pad. Search for t-mobile springboard case on ebay.
I bought a cheap-o case off eBay for $16. Listing was questionable as the sellers account was terminated the day after I bought it. I still got the case this morning after 3 weeks though. 2 problems with it. It's a little too thing for the springboard, so the outside edge around the display doesn't quit fold over all the way and sticks up. Secondly, the hole for the front facing camera is slightly off and the camera just barely peeks out from it.
Might not stick with the case though. Without the case I've always been able to stick it in my back pocket (slacks or jeans) and walk around with it to a few places, lunch breaks, dog walks, etc. With the case its a no go.

Yes, I have also found this one on eBay. I have ordered it (the same colour like lilaliend). But it never arrived (I got my money back). Fortunatelly!!
After the first attempt with eBay, I have decided to invest a bit more money and ordered a leather case from PDair:
qqq.pdair.com/index.php/ebook-reader-tablet/huawei/huawei-mediapad/leather-case-for-huawei-mediapad-book-type-black.htmk
(in the URL please replace qqq with www and htmk with html)
You can buy it directly from PDair for $80. This is quite a lot of money. But PDair's reseller for Middle East sells the same case ("book type") for $60:
tbeyond.com/leather-case-for-huawei-mediapad-book-type-black-p-14363.htmk
(in the URL please replace htmk with html)
Free Worldwide Shipping. Even though the reseller is based in United Arab Emirates, the case came from Hong Kong. Delivery to Germany was without any problems.
My experience with the case from PDair: The case is simply excellent. I highly recommend it. It is worth the money:
PROS:
- durable black leather
- magnets! It closes with magnets
- the tablet fits nicely into the case (in contrast to the cheap case from eBay - see post from lilaliend)
- all holes (front and rear cameras, USB and HDMI ports, charger) are precisely where they should be
CONS:
- the case is rather thick. They use multiple layers of leather (you can see it on the pictures on the PDair website). So the tablet is really well protected. But with the case you can not put the tablet into your back pocket...
TMobile Incipio case for Springboard has dropped in price
If you were to shop for it now on the TMobile site the Incipio case is now $29. That's about $15 to maybe $20 cheaper than when I bought it earlier in the year. ARGH!
I do love my case though. The only thing that's bad is when you are in portrait mode and the front cover doesn't sit nicely back when holding it in that position.

I wanted a case that had a zippered closure, for added protection. I had this case from when I had purchased the Kindle Fire. But I decided to see if it would fit the Springpad. It does, with a bit of sanding or cutting.
This is an option if you are willing to sand down or cut two nibs from the top two clips. Each clip has two nibs, the one you want to sand down or cut is the one on the right for each clip. I have attached some pictures so you can see the zippered case and the two clips above, and a close up of the cut. Mine is a bit sloppy, but hey, I'm not complaining. See pictures.

this is my combo "temporary" case and universal stand. :laugh:
still looking for a folio-type case and I just got news that the local distributor here already has stocks and giving it for free for new buyers of MediaPad. :silly:
I wanted a case that protects the corners, could prop up the MediaPad in landscape and (!) did not cover the front (like some cases that cover the bezel around the display).
Turns out that this case for the Lenovo Ideapad A1 fits just fine. Only the hole for the camera is in the wrong place, but I don't use the Pad's camera anyway. Nice sleek design. Reeks of plastic/glue the first few days, but the smell wears off quickly and then you have a smart-looking case for your MediaPad.
Apparently this case comes with different names around the globe. Have a look at the pictures and see what's available in your country.
Hi
I'm using the EasyAcc Case for nearly a year now.
It fits great, exept the hole for the frontcamera could be a milimeter bigger.
I do not know, in it is available outside Germany.
