Hey All,
I purchased a nice carrying case for my GTablet. I made a video review of the case. Check it out:

Its made by SOLO and I got it at staples for $20. Pretty neat!

Good find! (And better than the stinky Sears case, which still reeks after a week...) Going to have to brave Staples(mall) tomorrow and see if I can nab one... beats waiting for Amazon to ship me a Kindle DX case which may or may not fit nicels...
Pretty decent video, although I will admit to only watching about half of it... just wanted to see the basics...
I found a nice one in the travel store at the mall for only like $10. I think it was sold as a case for 10-11 inch netbooks. The brand was room.it.up
This is for anybody who might like something more fun and, admittedly, girly. But I know some here get the tablets for their wife, gf, daughter, etc.
The leather case you showed is very professional looking, and at $20 I think is a great price for that style.

Yikes! Their website says $32 now... not such a great deal any longer I'm afraid...
I'll have to check it out in a store and see if it's still $20 in store or if you just stumbled across a pre-Christmas sale that just ended maybe...
I too had this case when i first got my tab along with several others... I loved it first but after a couple of days you will start to notice it will loosen up and may not be as tight. Hopefully yours works out, keep the receipt handy just in case.

Ditto on this, I bought it and it was great for a couple days till the elastic that holds the tab in losens up.
other minor issues with it. if you use the elastic in all 4 corners, the band on the top left will often depress the power button. Gave me a drained battery surprise one time.
The elastic in the bottom left will often cover the headphone jack, so it's a nuisance to move it to plug in headphones.
and after a while the elastic in the right corners loosens, and that makes the tablet often flop out of the top corner and fall over.
Still it's s decent and readily-available case solution until better is available
Good find and thanks for posting a video on it.
Don't want to hijack, but found a decent Budget Case - Picked up a Case Logic case on sale in my local Office Depot for $5. It is a simple sleeve case, but seems to be well made. Cordura type nylon with some leather accents. Very well padded. Plan to find a notebook style case for daily use, but this one will be good for transport.
Can't find it on their site, so not sure if it on sale everywhere. Also can't post links yet, but if you google 'Case Logic VLS110 7-10" Mini Laptop Sleeve' you'll find pics.
some wholesalers at work use ipads w/ a case that doubles as a stand.. looks very clean and sturdy.. anyone see one of these somewhere for the g-tablet? saw another thread where they were trying to do a group buy for something similar but the pictures made it look a little cheap.. thoughts?

I got a case at Staples. $24.00 SOLO Style LVL106-3 H10 MFG #S25. Works great and able to use when charging device.

Anyone know where I can find a nice, lined, sleeve I can put my phone in? I carry my phone in my purse most of the time, and would like something to slide it into to prevent keys and whatnot from scratching the case. I am not particularly fond of the bulky (and often ugly) snap-on covers. I just want something simple! I love the little sleeve that comes with the Palm Pre.. something like that would be perfect.
I tried some of the blackberry sleeves in an electronics store. They seemed to be ok, but I needed a vertical clip-on. Hope this helps.

Oh! that has got to be the nicest sleeve ive seen so far!! only on pre- order at the mo, soon i hope.
I got a couple of cheap sleeves from e-bay, I just looked but i can't find the one i'm using now to give you the link, sorry.
That Sena sleeve is very nice. I'll have to bookmark that and check back later to see if they come in stock. Thanks a bunch!
I picked up the sleeve when I had the Imagio, and it still works for the my TP2 although it will take some time to stretch it out
Lined Sleeve
Got to T-Mobile coorporate store and get one. The last one I bought was on sale for $3.99. It was a microsuede inner with a nylon outer in black. I love it and it fits great. Its just a universal accesory.
I just picked up one of these for my phone. Very slim, probably won't protect it from a drop, but if you are looking for some slim, basic protection -- these do the trick and are pretty cheap as well since I like to carry my phone in my pocket.

I preordered the Sena. Looks like exactly what I want. Found a 20% off coupon code. Worked with the Preorder. Make it ~20 + shipping ~ $25 total.

Thanks for the T-Mobile store recommendation. I still want that Sena sleeve, but who knows when those will be available. I swung by the local T-Mobile store and they had a whole rack of sleeves.. they didn't seem to be for any specific phone model. It fits the TP2/Tilt2 perfectly though. And only $8 for the one I grabbed.

I stopped by the cvs by my apartment on my way home tonight- it's basically like the zippered carrying case sold at Sears in the Viewsonic packaging except that it has no carrying handles.
I went with the HP Mini Slipcase ala:

I had that one and returned it. Its a very nice case, but it doesnt fit the G Tab very snug at all. It moves around in there a lot.
I got a Built case from Office Depot I think for 12.99 or 15.99.
http://www.amazon.com/Built-LH10-BLK-7-Inch-10-Inch-Hoodie/dp/B001N44UI0
Can be found for cheaper, it has a semi-rigid backing and it fits the gtab pretty well. nice to transport it, but I still want a fitted case with a cover to use it in.

I also noticed the little bubbly things on the inside smudged the fingerprints on the screen and made little circles everytime I took it out of the case =). Not a big deal I guess, but had to wipe it down everytime I took it out of the case.
Ended up getting an incase case from Marshalls for $12. Its also intended for a netbook but its tighter on the sides so even though theres quite a bit of room up top it doesnt move so much since its snug on the sides.

This looks like the $5.99 one listed at Sears: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00382006000P?mv=rr model GTCLC-22 Holiday.
However a few members had issues with its smell: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865392 ("G Tablet Case")
That is the same case seling at sears for $5.99
Walmart case
I bought one of the sears cases. While I liked the idea of having handles, I felt that it did not offer enough protection for the Gtablet. So now I use it to carry my power supply and keyboard/mouse in.
I found this case at Walmart and it fits the Gtablet great. I have not had any problems with it causing the power on button to be depressed. I left the foam padding in the case to further protect the screen. I paid 17.99 for it. But I have seen it as high as 22.99
http://www.walmart.com/ip/SwissGear-Lunar-10.2-Sleeve-Black/14964986
But I assume if you tried to push in from the sides you could force it to come on.
Hope this helps

This is the exact same one that Sears is selling in Viewsonic packaging. If you can find one at Sears, it is/was on sale for $5.99. I bought 2 (one for each g tablet in my house) If you let it air out for a day or two the smell goes away.
So now that everyone's GTabs are on the way, lets focus on the goodies!
Im curious, whats everyones favorite cover/case?
I know I want the dock, but what else is a MUST HAVE? I've even read about a screen protector that improves viewing angle?!?
If you have any good suggestions, please let me know, post the URL for people to purchase etc!
Just received my Skinomi carbon fiber skin. Was very impressed with the material, looks to be the same 3M stuff that "dash kits" use in cars. 24 shipped on amazon. I've heard it sucks to install - but my tab won't be here until Thursday to find out
Right now I have just purchased the "Skinomi TechSkin - Black Carbon Fiber FILM Shield & Screen Protector" from Amazon (Skinomi.com has a larger selection and coupon codes can be found online), based on the reviews there and in a thread over here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=904814) I believe is the best we can buy right now to protect the screen, I went for the full body kit as I have not yet decided on which case I will end with but will most likely be one with a keyboard so I can use it while in class.
I may pick some cheap capacitive pens down the road too just because you can get them pretty cheap and shipped straight to South America where I live
....I am a nOOb so can't post outside links yet....
I'm pretty happy with these...
Arkon Portable Fold-up Stand
Carbon Fiber ThinSkin in Black
CLIP - Folio Case
I bought a dock but didn't really find myself using it after I got it so I sold it off on eBay for a tidy profit.
I also had one of those cases with the built-in usb keyboard but found it looked way too cheap and didn't keep the gTab snug so I got rid of that on eBay for a tidy profit as well.
If you want a case with a built-in bluetooth keyboard I highly recommend checking out it2steve's web store for a case he calls the BlutO.
See link here.
As for a small bag to carry all of your gTab accessories, I recommend the Targus CityGear bag for 10.2 inch Netbooks. It fits everything nicely. The only negative about this bag for me is that the shoulder strap is not removable.
I almost forgot about the Skinomi Screen Protector. It is fantastic as long as you follow the directions and let the damn thing sit until it's completely dry after you've applied it (like 24 hours if you can handle it) and you will be rewarded with a screen protector that you can barely tell is there.
I would dearly love to get the BlutO but it's my understanding that it stays sold out.
So far I've ordered the dock from merimobiles, $42.75 with coupon code bienvenu
Needed the lan port for work since we can't turn on wireless due to sensitive client files.
Messenger bag from Bensoutlet dot com $7.98 shipped. Got one that looks exactly like this for my netbook from 1saleaday last year for $10 shipped and hope it's the same one, great little sturdy bag.
Lenovo usb keyboard remote w/ trackball, don't know if it'll work w/gtab or not but for $27 I can use it with something else if it doesn't.
Have a neoprene sleeve to put it in until I decide on which screen protector and cover.
Dern, why did I type all of this out? Now I know how much I've spent LOL

Bought a tshirt for the bf a couple of weeks ago that had a pic of a pig amongst the clouds with the caption "With enough thrust, pigs fly just fine" Hilarious
To make this post legal (and to satisfy my curiosity) how hard are these skins to put on? I bought screen protectors for my nook that I ended up wadding up and throwing in the garbage, couldn't ever get them to go on without steeeenkin' bubbles that irritated the crap outta me.

One more question for you. Do you think that messenger bag would fit a Gtab with one of these cases on it? Or is it already a snug fit with just the Gtab alone?

I can't answer that yet because FedEx still has my gtab
But. I have one that looks exactly like this one that I keep my 10.1" acer aspire one netbook in (has the extended battery) and I am able to put the netbook in a neoprene sleeve and then into the messenger bag and it fits. So I bought another one for the gtab figuring it should work for that as well. If it doesn't I'll be really surprised but won't be out much money at all.
Hope this helps.

Very professional looking and holds the accessories fairly well. There is only the one outside pocket, so things just get thrown in. For under $20 (with amazon prime), who can complain?
I have a Wenger Swiss Army 12" laptop bag that I used for my netbook. Got it at Walmart for under $15. it too has removable strap and a side pocket too.

Belkin is usually a good product. But here's what I use (in neoprene), just bought another two pack in fact:
http://www.meritline.com/flap-laptop-sleeve-neoprene-black---p-36331.aspx
Velcro flap closure, perfectly servicable and I've always been happy with them. Free shipping too, but you have to be sure to select that option. It does take a some time to deliver due to the fact that it ships from China. Also, these are a bit roomier than the usual stretch-to-fit neoprene sleeve. My netbook won't fit in that kind due to the extended battery.
What can I say, we wimmins love a sale ;->
I plan to wait to get my hands on the tablet (fedex will get it here on Thurs) ... play with it long enough to be certain I want to keep it ... and THEN ... shop for stuff. Else, getting rid of the tablet and all those accessories will be an humbling experience.
BTW, my CC. has a program where they will take back a product if the store does not accept it back. I hope I don't resort to it in this case.
Amazon has this for $80, Best buy for $100. Seems super pricy for a carrying case. Anyone have one?
I want one, but none was in stock when i picked up my Tablet, so im using a HP Tablet case, works, its a bit big for the S Tab though. Im hoping they will make a cover like for the Acer, that the front folds around the back and stays on the Tablet all the time, instead of just a carrying case.
I ordered the Targus Leather Slipcase for $40. I saw an unboxing for the Sony one, but was turned off by the velcro at that price point. I prefer a magnetic closure.
http://store.sony.com/webapp/wcs/st...10151&langId=-1&productId=8198552921666381659
Don't want a traditional cover as I want to handle the device naked with its unique form factor.

Wow, what a disappointment. I had a feeling it was the same case used for the iPad. You can find it for around $25 on Amazon. I saw the different "model" number and was hoping it was indeed for the Sony Tablet. Bummer!!!

I got one. $69 at adorama.com. A simple carry case for the S. Well made, but not a custom fit for the wedge. You can slip the S in with the big end down or up. No holes in it for access. Only useful for transporting your S between use points.

Thanks for the referral. I haven't heard of them. Ordered the dock/cradle for $29.99 free shipping (standard), no tax. Supposed to take up to 10 days for delivery, but it's nice to save a few bucks. My tablet is supposed to be here on the 28th. I was getting ready to take a hike to the nearest Best Buy that has one in stock, but that would be $43 including tax plus fuel.

It's backordered, but I ordered one. This has more functionality than the slip case. Can be used as a stand and also with the cradle.

Nice find. I hadn't seen that case anywhere I looked. If you get the cradle, the S may not fit in it when it is wearing a case. Pretty custom fit when naked. Doubt the power connection will make contact if you add a layer of leather. I'd like to see a slip case that can serve as a stand when the tablet isn't in it. May have to make one myself.
It should have a problem with the cradle as the back of the case seems to bend half way up to create the prop so that should put it out of the way(at least thats how it works with the official sony case)
I have a Cheap HP mini-netbook bag I picked up for a 10 quid from asda

im looking for a portfolio style case for my S is thgere any out there yet?
Cases
I was looking online at the Sony Store, they have a real cool one, that you slip the S into, and the front flap can fold over so its still in a case but you can use the Tablet, it was about $40, the downside is its backordered till around mid October!
I bought the dock/cradle, so I was looking for a carrying case. Sony has this one listed on their website but I found it on Amazon, it says Ipad but I'm pretty sure this is 100% the same case. Fits perfectly and exactly what I wanted, and at $16 USD(vs $25) its not a bad price.
Apparently I can't post links because of my post count even though I've been a member for over 2 years!
Search for STM Jacket for iPad on Amazon, its the $16.83 case.

For $22 bucks, I may try it out.
I got the official leather case yesterday from the Sony Center in Sheffield UK. Its a beauty!! £69.99 which is typical Sony Prices but what the hell!!. I was a bit shocked that you have to stick 2 pieces of Supplied Velcro to the back of the Tablet S and you get some extra stick on gels for the top thick end of the Tablet to keep it secure. The Case really does feel like a premium well made product and im glad i got it. I have concerns about taking the Tablet out of the case as the 2 gels are real sticky and some people would have a job getting it out!!
Overall the case is excellent and can be folded to make typing real easy.

Hmmm...it's interesting that you guys get the really nice case that can be folded and used for typing or watching video. We in the U.S. get the boring slip case.

Thanks for the referral. I haven't heard of them. Ordered the dock/cradle for $29.99 free shipping (standard), no tax. Supposed to take up to 10 days for delivery, but it's nice to save a few bucks. My tablet is supposed to be here on the 28th. I was getting ready to take a hike to the nearest Best Buy that has one in stock, but that would be $43 including tax plus fuel...

Wow!!! I ordered Saturday and it was delivered today (Tuesday) via FedEx Ground. Noticed the shipping address is a Texas one, which is where I'm located. Perfect timing, as my tablet is on the UPS truck for delivery today. Guess I'll go ahead and order the official screen protector ($19.99) from them as well, although it's backordered.

Sony Uk website keeps saying available for pre-order only. When did you order yours and from where please?

Hey guys, just wanted to post my video review of this case. It really is a great case an I have been using it with my TP whenever I don't have it docked. I am looking forward to the release of their Portfolio case, which is essentially the same as this one except it holds the keyboard dock as well.
I included a coupon code for Amazon, it should make this case about $10. Enjoy!
Coupon: TF201PRO
Cool

Thanks bud.. Just ordered, code worked for me!
I also really like the Poetic Case. Doesn't add a lot of bulk, yet provides good protection. I like that it does not cover the bezel, unlike other leather cases such as the Caseen. My only critique is that the grooves in which the Prime rests in at 3 angled positions could be a bit deeper, as sometimes the Prime will slip out of the groove, particularly the first narrower angle groove. Other than that, great case for the price!
May I have the a coupon code? Want to order one for my Prime. Many thanks.

Ooops
I added it to the OP now. I was in the description on Youtube...
Great case. I bought it for utility as a stand/cover but I dropped it on the pavement one day trying to carry too many groceries.
Not a scratch.
Thanks for the review and the coupon. I have one coming my way for $9.95!
I bought mine last night. Its my first case for my prime. I'm still saving for my dock. It was eligible for amazon prime so It will be in today hopefully. Your code didn't work for me though. Still looked like a great case from your video.
Thanks

I recently purchased one for my Prime and really love it. For the price, it is hard to beat.
Anyone have a quick fix for how to get it to sit in the slots more stable? They aren't deep enough to hold the prime in place sometimes.
Are there no holes for the speaker?

Mine has holes for the speaker.
I actually had to go look, but you are correct, there are no holes for the speaker...
Kind of a bummer, heh I didn't even notice though.
It's plenty loud without the holes.. I was just watching a TV show and my wife told me to turn it down.
Great case, especially with the coupon code.. Very happy with it.
I wonder why mine has holes and yours does not? That is strange.

Mine does not have holes either.
You got the case with the white stitching (as opposed to black stitching) around the outside edges, right? I know they sold 2-3 versions of the case that are very similar to each other, but not the exact same.
My case has black stitching, or very dark, if you will.
For the money, this really is a good case. I've been very happy with it so far. I only bought till better cases came out ,but now I like it so much I haven't even bothered to look for something different.
