I just bought the g tab case on clearance at Sears for 5.99. Sorry but no pictures. The case is branded for the g tablet and is from viewsonic
Is this the one that a lot of us were given free on Thanksgiving -- it has all the VS markings and stuff on the packaging but on the inside says it is a regular Case Logic netbook case?

Just picked one up from Sears. here's a picture. Not really what I want but it will do till something elce comes along. And heck it was only 5 bucks plus tax.
THAT THING SMELLS TO HIGH HELL
I've had mine airing out for over a week and it still smells like a chemical factory. I've been meaning to return it but don't want to stink up my car...
Mine stunk sooooo bad I had to throw it out. It gave me such a headache. It wasn't worth taking it back for six bucks.
XDA is no longer worth my time.
From TimOster ==> did you try washing it? $5 is $5.

Oh yes. The smell was worse after I washed it. I even used fabric softener that had perfume in it. I couldn't stand the combination of the two smells anymore.

Yep... mine smells bad too...
I washed mine in the sink with Dawn dish soap (loads of it) rinsed it out and set it out in the sun to dry. This process took about 25% of the smell out. So I did it again and got maybe another 25% out. Finally I just put it in my front loader washing machine by itself on delicate (Hot/Cold) Set it out in the sun again and got about another 25% of the smell out.
So now it can be in my car or next to me on my desk and I can't smell it at all. But if you put your nose up to it... well.. it's still there.
I purchased a Kensington 10" netbook sleeve and it fits the gtablet great!

i bought the same case for my Archos 101 and it doesnt stink. Wish the case was more firm but it is enough to protect the screen.
I have essentially the same case on my iPad and never had an issue with any smells. It's great to add a handle, but I still like the protection of a leather case when you're not transporting the thing.
what do you think about this one?
Acase Leather Flip Book Jacket/folio for Apple - from Amazon. It may fit ok..
The Sears guy thought I was nuts when I asked him to open it so I could smell it... smelled fine, btw.... thanks for making me look crazy today... lol

Too bad it flips in portrait versus landscape... I'd like an option for viewing angles.
I just received a Malata Zpad T2 protective case,10.1 inch ViewSonic G-tablet Zpad,folwith stand-type protection Kit book free shipping from Ali Express. It took me about 20 days to get the case but it fits the g-tablet great and secures it very well and has a tap to use the case as a fold up stand. Total cost $32.00.
20 days????
LOL I actually picked htis case at office depot even though ti was sold as a caselogic case (it looked the best for the g-tablet) i got ripped off at $20 but atleast it doesnt stink, i guess maybe thats why they charged $5?
I wonder what the smell was of, so weird. Mildew is common, but chemicals? hopefully it wasnt uranium tetraflouride

Bought it as best buy for 35 bucks. Kind of expensive but i really like it. It has very nice soft touch finish to it and it feels great in the hand. With the case on its only a tad bit thicker than the epic 4g. Kick stand props up nicely vertically and horizontally. Theres also a nice soft fuzzy material inside the case to prevent it from scraping against the phone, and it protects your camera lens when you set it down on its back. It doesn't get in the way with anything and it fits great in my slim fit jeans
$35 bucks at best buy. Kind of steep but i had my 50 dollar preorder giftcard so i just used that.
UPDATE: It stands perfectly in portrait as well!

Holy over sized pictures, damn.
edit... here ya go, not a bad looking case, I definitely wouldn't mind having a kickstand.
ahaha thanks! i just uploaded them to picasa before i saw your post lol
Looks like that case adds a lot of bulk to the phone :/
protects the camera? can't tell it kinda looks flush
This looks 3rd party? The official HTC case has the kickstand oriented so the charging port is on the top. With this case it doesn't look like you can kickstand it and charge it at the same time.
What brand is that? Is it best buys platinium series? I like how it goes together, in my experience that style(comes apart as top and bottom) is by far more durable.

Yep, that's a Platinum Series case. Most of their stuff is made by Seidio.
I plan to mozy on over to my Best Buy today and see if they'll sell me accessories.
I went and checked it out. I'm going to wait for Seidio though because I need the combo with the holster. The only holster option BB had is for the rugged case which is too big for me...

No holsters. The only holster they have is for thier rugged version.

I just confirmed my concerns with Customer Service, This is their answer:
Thank you for contacting Seidioonline.com. The kickstand on our SURFACE case for the EVO 3D does not allow access to the charging port when it is in use. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us at 832-204-1118.
thanks for the update - I was told this item was sold out and Sprint wouldn't be getting it until days after the release date of the EVO 3D - Best Buy, here I come tomorrow.
Yeah it's not bad except I need to access the charge port when in use. So, I'm taking mine back.. I do like the feel of it and the fact it does add a little more protection around the camera
bought this same case and was suprised to find out that the kickstand is plastic and not metal. just fyi
Hi All,
Could someone link me to a one piece case that is made out of hard plastic?
I've searched over 1000 on ebay and couldnt find any!
I like the hard plastic 1 piece case since they are usually slim.
Thank you!
Sprint has one! I finally found one! its 28 dollars tho. Only comes in purple but has kick stand on it! it is made by Body Glove, I went to their site and they dont even have the Evo 3D listed =\

I got the red Body Glove and love it. I generally don't do cases but once I slid it on I couldn't take it off. Sorry don't have a picture. It was 28 bucks I think but got it for 20 with my discount. Got it at the sprint store.
Bought one (pink) for the wife today. It was $24.99 at my local Sprint store, fit nice and tight. I like that you can prop it up either way in landscape mode, so charging while "kicked up" is possible.

I ordered the green thru your site.
The site was dog slow, i was afraid paypal was gonna time out on me. I was starting to wonder if i tried to order right as someone started scheduled maintenance or something.
But it appears to have gone thru, so now it's time to wait and see.
my only concern is that if these (or any) cases trap heat. I sorta like having the exposed metal bezel that seems to behave as a heatsink. Either way I'm glad to have a device that isn't a slider so i have a lot to choose from.
I personally would love to find something similar to the iLuv snap-on cases for the ipad and ipod touch. they cover the back and corners and sit flush with the screen. But for $9 I can't go wrong.
Got my TPU case today. Wish i knew it was local, i could have probably picked one up same day.
but shipping was extra quick, and the was exactly what i was hoping it would be. Firm and flexible, not squishy like a silicon case. The fit is real tight and everything lines up real well. The top camera hole is ever so slightly off-center, but is barely noticeable and does not affect functionality at all. You would really have to stare at it to see it.
The case itself is glossy and not sticky, but still has plenty of grip. I could see it getting slippery with greasy fingers.
The firmness is reassuring that it won't pop off. It reminds me a lot of the iLuv case I had on my ipod touch before i switched to a snap-on back cover.
Overall I think the TPU case is a great value. I hope the company can remain profitable at this pricepoint, but given that most cases seem to start at $20, I think there's room to grow and still compete.
Good stuff. Made by Seidio, but just branded Platinum. They had a name for it... Like a series. Instead of Active, it had it's own name, but I forgot it...
Also got the Super invisibleSHIELD.

I've had the Active cases on my Epic and Evo... I figured I'd stay with the same case. Might rebuy once Seidio ones come out.
Edit* It's called the Cruiser.
Oooohhh, do like. So far this is the only Evo 3D case I actually like. I'll look it up. I'll probably buy one next time I get paid.
EDIT: Found it here on Best Buy, but it's sold out & backordered for 1-2 weeks. Linky
If anyone else can find it somewhere that it isn't sold out, that'd be great!

Lucky. Wish I didn't live an hour away from the nearest Best Buy lol
Mine has blue surface cases $29.99 and black surface cases with holster $34.99...
The Cruiser was black only, no holster $34.99...
The Heavy Duty one was black with holster. $49.99
I can't quite tell from the photos. Are the buttons covered completely? They have them in stock at both BBY's near me, and I might pick one up. Thanks
The only openings on the case are the screen/face, 2D/3D toggle switch, earphone jack and little mic opening.
Thanks Chris
i got the "rugged" version of this at best buy but returned it.. the fabric on the holster was messed up..
also, the case felt cheap.. i had the same case i got from them for the Evo and that one was good, loved it...
i have been a sedio fan for a while.. easy case to take off and put on.. i like to have the phone naked when i am phone. the otter box defender i got now sucks to take off!!! like the case but its a pain to take off.. not to mention the holster does fit the belt i use since its a wide riggers belt.
but i will be getting the sedio once its out and hope casualty is better than the best buy version.
Nice case but.....
I think these are nice cases, i even had one one my old evo but, if you drop it and it lands on the corner, those little claws will break. Unless they changed the plastic its made out of, that is the weak point of the case. I ended up with a ballistic on my last evo and that thing is a tank. I have the otterbox defender on my phone now. I always pic the most rugged case becase it keeps my phone in pristine condition which allows me to sell it and upgrade to the next phone for free.
yup , just as ugly (and probably as fragile) as the ones on the original evo....

I had the same issue with my evo.
I had 2 cases break on me - and my wife's broke on her too
All 3 were the tabs as mentioned above

Maybe some people can't handle the case. Contact Seidio, they are pretty good about it.
Maybe they don't create a quality product.
I've had a Surface and a couple Actives on my Evo. Had a Active on my Epic and never had a single issue. Maybe I baby my phones. I dunno. They've been more than great for me.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
?
When did you buy your first active limited? How long did you use it? Maybe they fixed their quality issues...?
I know it wasn't only me having issues with the tabs - at the time I got on XDA/Amazon and everybody seemed to be experiencing the same thing. I started the return process and let them know that the tabs were an issue and I am sure others did as well.
I really hope they did fix this problem, because I loved the case other than that or I would have never bought a second one (I was hoping it was a fluke)
In the end I just went back to my official HTC case. I didn't like it near as much but I never had issues with it either.
Later,
Matt
I started picking them up around November 2010.
One of the best looking cases Ive found for the TF so far

Haha well I guess some people don't have the same taste, I think it looks kinda cool being so big and chunky
Looks like you could drop it from the 13th floor of a hotel onto concrete and it would probably just bounce right back up
Bit high priced for now, so ordered a £15 RooCase look-a-like with a popper button so you can swivel the TF around inside the case for portrait / landscape / case closed while charging etc
oh for the record I do like the look but would never pay $60 for a case
Le sigh...
Waited months and this is the first gel case I've seen, it's absolutely hideous and at that price the case looks like an evil Sonic the Hedgehog murdered someone. It's a hideous case, the price is a joke. They could go on and on about the science that went into it but there's no way that hideous monstrosity is worth $60.00. Putting the hideousness aside it's still silicone gel and that's not worth $60.00.
After months not one company can create just a simple silicone bumper case for $2.00? Every major tablet on the face of this planet has one but apparently the Transformer is worth about as much as a Viewsonic G-Tablet since they both lack a bumper case. What is it about the Transformer that makes this so hard? The keyboard?

Nah, I think its because it is new, and companies know they can charge extortionate prices for every accessory at the minute because people want them.
Once the TF 2 arrives, prices will drop
Most rugged case, yes.

That looks pretty good. If it didn't already have the expensive cover I would try that one.
I like the way it can stand up at 2 different angles, I wish it could stand vertically though.
not endorsing brands mart, however they had the oem case for $38
not endorsing brands mart, however they had the oem case for $38. I bought one their, other electronics I bought their went yours tits up before 6 months, so caution on everything else.
I just bought this case a few hours ago from my local store here in Dubai. It fits well on my tab. But the problem is that the hinge next to the camera hole is quite narrow. Every time I close it, it touches the power button unexpectedly causing a restart. Maybe it will differ on other stocks of this item.
I'm not using the camera that much so instead of opening the cover to the right, I rotated the tab covering the lens and made it open to the left.
Be careful after a month or so you might end up with fraudulent charges on the card you use, I did.
Yea, I wasn't sure about using that site so I ordered one of the Poetic cases from Amazon. I had one on my old ASUS Transformer and liked it. Good price too.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007YUISHQ/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
I wouldn't bother with that one. I bought this from eBay and I can't believe how practical, sturdy and well-made it is. And matches my Tab2's color
Have a look:

I ordered this case last week, so far I like it a lot. It's slimmer than Samsung version and I like the way the felt part that covers the screen doesn't end up on the outside of the case when you open it and set it down. I was worried about getting dirt on the felt and scratching my screen.
I also like that the cover latches without needing the elastic strap, although it does have one. It also stands at 2 different angles.
It does smell very plasticy, hopefully that will go away soon.

Yea, that smell is really strong at first. I can still smell it but it's not overwhelming like it was at first. Definitely a great case for the price.
