Hey peeps, just picked up my G-Tab and need a screen protector and other small accessories. Any tips you can share before I hack the crap out of this device? Where is the best place to get accessories?

Man that's important... need to find a substitute then...

some people are getting netbook screen protectors and cutting them to fit, but i've gotta believe there will be ones made for the gtablet soon..
Send emails to the major vendors - I am going to start doing that. The more we ask, the more likely screen protectors will become available.

One good thing to know is that these ship with 2 layers of conductive film in place so if you smooth out the air bubbles in the shipping film they work pretty darn good for at least the short term...

yep, i still have my bottom layer on. the edges don't look good though.
I want to order a Nushield for my gtab. Do u think that would help with the viewing angles?
I bought this case from Amazon. I chose it because it had carry handles (can you say "man purse"?) The gtablet fits very well width wise, but has an extra inch or two height wise. It also has a pocket for cables and a few extras. Soft interior. I also ran across this same thing at Sams Club as a "one-time buy" for less than $10.

I Recognize This!!
I recognize this. When I bought my G-Tablet at Sears, they gave me one of these for free!
It was packaged in G-Tablet packaging like it is the one G-Tablet will provide, but it still has the "Case Logic" tag one.
It works well and has an auxiliary pocket -- but the tablet fits inside loosely so I'm looking for some padding to make it a little more solid and provide additional protection.
But for $5.99...........what do you expect!!!!????

What about this DOCK?

I love my Arkon stand, but got tired of folding it up and tucking it in the case to carry to work so I started looking for another. Found this one on Amazon and thought it would look great ... and it does! Comes in gold too.

It is way classier-looking than any other I have seen and works just as well in Portrait mode. A caveat, they are buying these from china and the welding is not as precise so you may need to (like I did) take some pliers to it to straighten the arms a bit. I had some foam grip things made for pens/pencils that slid over the arms to make a nice cushy bed for my tab.
I clicked the link and while it describes a stand, it shows pictures of Boots. Yeah, BOOTS! Haha, and also keep in mind that the person purchasing would have to have Amazon Prime to get it for under $10 shipped. (I do have amazon prime, but I'm not in need of boots ) But it does qualify for FSSS (spend $25 on qualifying products and free shipping).
The picture you posted does look really nice though.

Yes, and in fact once I placed the order - that is what showed (picture) with the description of the stand so I wrote the seller. I made it EXTREMELY clear that if it was not exactly as described, they would be getting it back ... on their dime. They replied immediately, assuring me the stand was what was ordered. And that IS what I received.
That is the beauty of Amazon and prime, the service is unparalleled. If something is not exactly as described, refund is easy and immediate and if it is not a big-ticket thing, generally I keep the wrong item for free.
In reality it is every bit as nice as the (non-boots) picture. Very pleased with it and if anyone else in the family had tabs, they would be getting them as gifts.
With it being cast iron, I would think that it would be pretty rough on the case of the G-Tab. Any other stand that I have found has some sort of "padding".
I saw similar stands in Wal-Mart today for about $3.50. I bought the wooden ones for a few cents more.

Funny you should mention that. I was originally thinking of some heat-shrink tubing over the little arms that hold the tab and then saw something on a clearance table at the dollar store.
The little foam sleeves that go on pens and pencils fit perfectly. Come in beaucoup colors too.
Hello folks,
So recently I've noticed a lot of hesitation on these forums when it comes to purchasing accessories for our new Primes.
I'm here to speak for those of us who need instant gratification in order to feel that a product is satisfying enough to actual spend money on. I, like most people, need to go "hands on" before buying a product of any kind.
Anyway, without further adieu...

Now... keep in mind, this case was only $30. And I managed to discover it at a local Best Buy. Obviously, it's for the original Transformer. However, it works like a dream, containing it properly, without any room to slide around or malfunction.
It's an excellent case, with premium feel to it, and offers the functionality of a "kickstand" to provide exceptional viewing angles and comfort in your lap.
The port cutouts, ironically happen to match-up with the body of the Prime quite well.
As for the interior, the finish is a soft, suede material that is lining the entire surrounding area in which your tablet will rest.
All-in-all, I'm very happy with my purchase and find it to be a suitable alternative to housing protection until I can get my hands on the keyboard dock.
I hope this brief, off-topic (somewhat) review was helpful, to someone out there.
Ciao!

Thanks for the post. Does the strap get in the way of the power button or volume buttons?

Just slightly, but it's a sacrifice that I'm willing to make because the case is great and affordable. Not to mention, it can be found in most Best Buy locations.
It's worth a shot if you're trying to find a case for basic transport that is also functional.

I ordered the same leather case but made for the transformer Prime from Amazon. I think it's out of stock now but mine has already been shipped.
Update: It's now back in stock

Ok folks.. I have been looking for a back cover for my gtablet and I found one at NewEgg. It comes in both Black and Clear... for those of you that are interested its a polycarbinate material.... And is only 13.00, its suppose to have all the right cut outs and such....
The Company name is GreatShield Guardian Series Slim-Fit PolyCarbonate Hard Case for ViewSonic gTablet 10.1 Multi-Touchscreen Tablet
Found the same on buy.com for $10.95
I opted for a case with keyboard. Here :- http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004JF9N1O/ref=oh_o01_s00_i00_details
The case is hard leather the keyboard and stand are a bonus, I figured it may come it useful to have a keyboard close by. If you need a keyboard it's worth a little extra.
Why not to electroniccrap.com have a look.. There are many toies for Gtablet..
Did you buy this greatshield case? Thoughts?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
Just ordered mine today through Amazon as I wanted to get something else so I was able to get free shipping. Now just need to sit and wait for it..stated for delivery sometime next week. I'll post back with my thoughts.
Recieved this item.
Yes I did use GreatShield, I wanted it in black and it was only offered in clear thru Newegg. So I went to the Greatshield site and ordered in in black. And it arrived 5 days later, via USPS.
Works like a charm, all the cut outs are correct. NO shape edges and it pops right on. It was worth the wait and the price.
Well the Greatshield back cover arrived today. First impression wasn't what I was expecting...I was thinking it was more like the material like those Cruzerlite covers are made of for phones. This is actually just hard plastic with a painted black soft touch paint on it, kind of like the soft touch plastics found in many cars. Actually VZW sells sliding belt holsters which are pretty much the same concept as this cover. Either way its another layer on the back of the tablet that adds a little bit more thickness which I actually don't mind plus the soft touch paint gives it more grip.
All ports and physical buttons are exposed which is great but the only thing which could bother some is access to the micro sdcard slot/USB port cover is a little difficult. You will have to peel the back cover off slightly to get it opened if you access that slot and port. Oh getting this thing off is kind of a pain since the tablet is a little bigger than a phone. I find sitting on the couch while trying to get the cover off is better just incase things go flying.
Anyways on to the pictures (sorry for the blurry pictures, these were taken with my Droid X):

The extra grip must be nice.
I always worry when I one hand mine that it is going to slip out of my hands since it's kind of slick.
What brand and where to buy
Thanks

The dock. The dock, the dock, oh yeah, and the dock. No seriously dude, get the dock, it's pretty much my favorite part about the tablet.
you mean the keyboard I have got it ,
Which dock you mean and link please
Thanks
Dock = keyboard. I would also get a decent screen protector and a case. A stylus and an extra data cable comes in handy too.
Have bought this

This tablet does not have Gorilla Glass, It has hardened glass. And yes, I always recommend getting a screen protector. You would be surprised what dust will do to a screen over time. Would you rather take the chance of not having one? They are rather cheap on Ebay too.
A protective case, of course... Well, at least if you really care about it.
Not sure I am allowed to do this here but I'd like to save someone some money. I ordered a brand new gumdrop case for the tf300 and its just sitting there. I haven't touched it its brand new. If anyone wants it you can email me: [email protected]
Its 49.95 on amazon. ill do 35 shipped to you. (in the US)
Thx
I have a matte screen protector and dock,willing to buy a car charger maybe

Definitely a stylus and a carrying case. Dock or BT keyboard if you are going to do a lot of typing.
In my opinion screen protectors are a waste of money, unless you use it in very harsh environments or treat it very roughly. Or if you have kids who use it. I have had my tablet for over a year now and use it a lot. I don't have a screen protector and never have. It doesn't have a single scratch or flaw on it, in fact it looks like the day I bought it.
But as I said, just my opinion.
Well the screen protectors are ugly, but tis tablet is NOT protected by gorilla glass and I got one nasty scratch and several dot-like flaws just by using it with a case with a bit nasty insides. By the way I got a slim folio case by roocase and it sucks. Looks fine, but the holders on the sides are literally dangerous and too tight. Once I dropped the bag with the tablet inside a little bit and the holder just broke the part of the tablet off (glued it back lol)
Stylus recommendations?
So does anyone have a stylus that they'd recommend?
Just came across this

Anyone have one?
Wow that's nice, what an excellent idea to attach it to the watch. I wonder if it will pop out though with any strain.
Watch firmly in the belt and will not fall out. the strap is much easier to source and looks great
I've been chatting with Zhenia who sells the straps and am plan on buying one, I will leave a review once I get it!

Those look much nicer than the other straps in this forum for the S. The only thing is the rubber bands seem to stick out a bit on the sides, almost as if they aren't tight enough.
Any plans for a metal band? Where can we buy the leather one?

If that was leather it'd be cool but I think that's the same as the one that comes with the Gear S only a different clip.

Anyone handy with sewing leather? It looks like all you need is a rubber o-ring from home depot and sew the leather straps onto it. Can probably do it with metal as well if you just bend the end pieces onto the o-ring. $40 isn't too bad, but the $20 shipping kind of tanks it for me. Plus the o-ring looks like it's too large and doesn't stretch enough, making it stick out on the sides instead of lying flush inside the groove.
Any word on any other options? That site won't show how to buy them. I know the gear s is older but it's far better than its newer generations replacements.
Any way to get a leather band for it would be greatly appreciated. Google so far had let me down accept for the cheaply made stock holster meshed with metal and "leather" bands.
Thanks everyone.
Still around?
Hi, that link doesn't work anymore but I am interested in the band. Is it still around?
