If you are looking for an inexpensive case that will give you good protection, I had bought this case for a netbook but discovered it works pretty well for the G-tab. It is memory foam padded. It has two clear vinyl straps that will hold the bottom of the G-tab in place and which allow you to still view the screen. It can actually function as a stand in landscape mode but it can't handle more than light taps this way unless the back is propped against something. I have attached a couple pictures.
Price is $7.21 shipped if you have amazon prime and $9.20 if you buy from third party amazon seller Senyx.
Outer Dimensions: 11-3/4" by 8-1/2"
Inner Dimensions 11" x 7-3/4".

$4.21 for similarly sized cases of the same brand
The following two cases are cheaper ($4.21) and have the same dimensions (11 x 7.75 x 1 inner compartment and 11.2 x 8 x 1 inches outer shell) despite being marketed for smaller sizes netbooks, they are same brand (case crown) and provided by same seller (fulfilled by amazon as well).

I have ordered the above two, one for the GTab and one for a netbook
Thanks for tip OP.
From the single review of 8.9" case:
I accidentally browsed this netbook case and though it says it's for 8.9" netbooks, I was able to fit my 10.1" netbook comfortably.

sanvara: can you please confirm your amazon case dimensions ? Thank you in advance.
Good research. I didn't consider those since they seemed to be made for smaller netbooks. When I bought the case above a couple months ago it was on sale for $4.21 shipped too!
The outer dimensions on the case I have are 11-3/4" by 8-1/2" and inner 11" x 7-3/4". There is a fairly thick ring of padding around the edges which accounts for the difference between the outer and inner dimensions.
I personally like black and the slim design version over the double pouch for daily use but I may pick up the double pouch for when I want to carry the power cord somewhere.

I got mine the other day. It fits perfectly. The only thing to be careful of is remember the the "top" of the case is actually the "bottom." I already opened it once and forgot the the straps to hold it in are up by the handles. Luckily, I caught the tab before it fell out.
But I've already used the case to take the tablet on the road and it works and stands great. Watched a movie with absolutely no issue at all in this. I'm thinking about ordering the other one aasoror listed as well for the extra pouch for accessories as the tablet is taking flight this week.
Great find on these guys!
Thanks to both of you!

I looked at my local sears. They have the EXACT SAME case in the store, under the Case Logic brand for $15. But if you buy the G tab case online, it's currently under $5.00. Honestly, I think you're insane NOT to get this case for the price!
Agreed and its padded and the quality is good.

I just received this case. It doesn't fit. The inner dimensions are roughly: 9.5 x 7.25 inches. The G tab is roughly: 10.5 x 6.75 inches. So the case is about an inch too.
aasoror, where did you find the dimensions when you searched. They aren't listed in Amazon's page. Maybe they sent the wrong one?

Thanks more letting us know it doesn't fit. I almost ordered one. I wouldn't have thought it would fit since it's marketed for a 9" netbook.
The case I posted actually has a bit of room. When my case with the keyboard comes I'm going to see it it fits in there, I think it will.

Recieved my Amazon case today. Fits well and is a good deal for the $7
I am thinking about purchasing a basic neoprene sleeve to put my G-Tablet in. I don't need a normal case, as I have a custom carbon fiber weave on the back, and prefer holding it without a case. I just need something to protect it while it is in my book-bag. I was thinking about the following sleeve, but am worried about the size.
(apologise for the lack of proper link, I don't post very often)
amazon.com/ Neoprene-Netbook-Fujitsu-Samsung-Gateway/dp/B002TSCL2G/ref=sr_1_14?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1296573496&sr=1-14
It lists for 10 inch netbooks, and its listed dimension is 11x8.25, which theoretically should work for the tablet. What do you guys think? There are similar sleeves for 12 inch netbooks, but I don't want the tablet sliding around inside too much.
Sorry: I posted it to the wrong forum: it belongs to G Tablet Accessories. Can the Moderators move it for me?

Just curious, would it fit the gtab? it looks very cool.
Xoom 10 x 6.7 x 1 (from bestbuy)
gtab 10.5 x 6.8 x ? (from viewsonic site)
If I find it in store, I can buy it and try it.. but it is out of stock..
Ask the MOD to move to this posting to the G Tablet Accessories thread.
I saw dimensions for the case where it was only 9.8", not 10". It really needs to be close to 10.5" because of the plastic casing that holds the tablet inside the case. I ruled it out, but if you are willing to give it a try when it becomes available again, please report back to this posting.

You're correct, I picked one up and it does not fit.
Has anyone found any decent cases or sleeves for this tablet yet?
It's dimensions are listed as 271x176x12.9mm, which makes it longer than the iPad, as well as longer and wider than the Xoom, so I imagine most cases for those devices will be too small (or it'll protrude through the opening.)
At the same time, lots of netbook cases are around, but they seem to extend by 1 or 2cm too far in each dimension. Closest appears to be the Belkin 10.2" cases on Amazon.
There's a comparison of sizes here:

Looks like it might work - size wise it seems the transformer will fit.
For the moment I am going to keep my transformer in the case I used for my Asus EEE PC Netbook, just hope it fits!!!
I also contacted tuff luv as I adore their cases and have one for my Kindle and love the fact I can prop it up and read it. They say there going to look into it and to contact them again in a couple of weeks, I really hope they do a case.
I got on of these as a temporary measure. .

Fits well enough, of somewhat unspectacular..
REALLY hoping Yoobao do a transformer version of their magic case.. have emailed them to enquire.. mebbe i enough of us register our interest.. Hint.. hint
I still haven't found a case :'( I'm using a net book neoprene case which is too big, do we need to consider the keyboard as well... might make it harder to get the case.

The Transformer is long and narrow unlike all other tablets.
I got my kindle sleeve from here..http://wrappers.typepad.com/
Very pleased with it...
If you email them with details they will advise which of their huge range will fit the Xformer. They are custom made.
I bought a cheap neoprene sleeve on ebay (item no 170625464579) for £3.30 delivered (although he has now hiked up his price to £4.95). It fits pretty much perfectly - although I did manage to accidentally wake the tablet up from standby putting it in the sleeve on one occasion.

I just bit the bullet and ordered this one for now:

Size is 270x200x25 mm which is the closest I could get to the Transformer size. It should arrive in a couple of days and then I will report back.

It is duel aspect, so when the keyboard part of the TF arrives it will also be used in this case, the tablet part fits in the top part of the case and is held in place by two corner holders.

Been there, done that. Unfortunately - as you'll soon notice - when it's done up the zip sits right on top of the power button, making it incredibly easy to turn on accidentally. I'm taking mine back tonight.
My sample "Wrapper", as linked above, arrived this morning and it's very nice indeed! Perhaps a little small width ways but I've sent my feedback and I think they're going to re-work it a little. Once they've got the final design down-tap I'd recommend them without hesitation.

I guess i can see what you mean about the zip, but im traveling around with work next week and wanted something quick to stop it getting battered in my laptop bag with everything else that is in there.
It will do for the moment until either an official case comes out or a good alternative is found, I will hold onto the receipt and packaging that came with it, if it turns on the power constantly when im away next week i will take it back.
The TeckNet iPad Leather Case for Apple iPad is exactly the type of thing I want, only designed for the eeePad!!!

With all the looking for cases and such, a lot of talk about this case for 'X' will fit or not fit. Does anyone know of an more popular brand that has the same dimensions as G-tab? It might make finding access. easier. I know the Kindle DX is close.

It is known that cases/covers for the DX will fit the G-Tablet, just don't get the ones that have the strip up one side that obscures some control.
The Malata Z-tablet is the (near) identical twin, but accessories for them are just as hard to find. There are also a handful of Chinese "custom" cases that are being sold (but stay in fairly short supply) just search this forum and you will find them.
I've seen a few Kindle DX posts that like it, but there seems some contention on how well it fits. I don't think I found one that fits that also has the stand. Yeah, the Malata case are a rare bird, and seem a bit more expensive. i will check for the custom ones...Thanks..
I think most 10 inch netbook cases should work. I bought the "HP - Mini Netbook Sleeve" from Best Buy, and it fits OK, not quite glove tight but good enough.
Try a new Targus iPad case?
I tried 10" netbook sleeves and they all seemed too roomy (not snug). I ended up getting a newly released (in Taiwan) Targus iPad soft case. A little snug but fits.

I would not recommend doing this, what if you mistake your Flyer for a book and toss it into your closet??
LOL
lol, good point. Not me, so much, but maybe anyone who walks into my room.
But on another note, if you're walking through a subway station late at night, this does serve as a good disguise for the tablet.

Back to the point, I don't know any book like cases. Look for one for the Nook Color in a store and ask the sales man if you can try your flyer in it.
I saw the one for the nook, but Im not too fond of them. I really like the one for the Apple products. I think I can spend thanksgiving weekend or winter break working on one.
Will probably go to a craft shop or sign up on a crafts/arts related forum and just speak to some people there once I get the time.
But for now, back to anatomy and biochemistry.
have you found one yet?
im actually looking for something like that too, something like

but for an HTC flyer.. if anyone knows of anything like this, please let me know. (its for my wife).

That case for the Ipad is awesome! I'd buy one from my Flyer if it were available (considering I use my Flyer mostly for reading, it's even appropriate!)
Looks freaking awesome! I wish they made one for the size the 7in tabs, maybe when Apple releases a 7in tab they'll make one, but for the price, even if it is handcrafted is not worth in, in my opinion of course.

Moleskine used to make these cases for the Amazon Kindle 6" and it might fit the HTC Flyer/Evo View 4G which is 7". btw there are two/three versions of this case - the other is for the Kindle DX which is large and the iPad version - so make you are looking at the right one. Alternatively, you could just get a molskine notebook and make your own?
It's on eBay for $40. There is picture of of a Nook Tablet in one so it might work for the evo view- that is if you don't mind back camera being blocked.

Imma try that on my days off this week and I'll post pics when I'm done. Im kind of thinking of putting like some fabric lining between the book and my tablet and also probably cutting out like a thumb hole next to the tab so it will be easier to take out.
Edit: Actually I'm designing my own paper cover for the "book"

I'm really interested in this possibility: thanks for discovering it.
What I'm unsure about is whether our Views will work well in it. I've compared dimensions of the Nooks and Kindle that the merchant on eBay says will fit and the View. It's questionable is what that seems to tell me.
I see that the item listing notes: "Because it is narrower, Kindle 3 does not fit snugly within the elastic straps, but it will fit inside the cover. If you use this cover with a Kindle 3, the device will be loose and may fall out of the cover." I fear that our View's dimensions are closer to the Kindle 3 than the others, so I think it may be a no go.
The eBay merchant couldn't tell me what to expect, so I'd have to buy it, try it, and return it if it isn't a good fit.
Any thoughts? Especially: anyone who can tell me from experience how it worked out fro them with their View?

Honestly, I think that if people are looking for a low-key, professional looking case, then I would recommend the faux-leather Bluerex case (and its carbon copies). From about 2-3 feet away, it looks pretty close to a moleskin notebook or leather agenda. Moreover, it's thin, does a good job of covering the Flyer, and is clean-cut, with all the right holes for camera and speakers.
I'm all for a solution which makes you inconspicuous, but a 'book case' would end up being bulkier, not as sleek, and wouldn't have the right holes for speakers, cameras, etc.
