Simple "Padfolio" Case for GTab - G Tablet Accessories

I thought I'd share some pix of a simple and cheap case for the GTab based on the foam from your original packaging.
This uses a simple "padfolio" from the office store. This is a Buxton Classic Writing Pad, but there were many versions at my local store that would have worked. The only real qualifications are that the spine be wide enough to accommodate the 1/2 inch depth of the tablet and thin enough to fold back over to form a stand.
I carefully removed the foam outline from the original packaging, and glued it to the folio using a paste glue that I hope is sufficiently strong. Be careful, though, as I expect many super-glue products would melt the foam rather than bond with it.
As you can see, the foam outline fits nicely into the space designed for a writing pad (11.5 inches). It props up nicely in my lap or on the table (and with these lousy viewing angles, adaptability is nice).
I don't like the idea of tape or velcro on something like this, so I don't have it secured within the foam. It does fit relatively snugly, though, and as long as you hold it in the closed position, the tablet cannot fall out.
Until we find some better choices made for our rare (but amazing) device, this might do the trick for some of you.

Noticed that Sears still shows the Viewsonic case as a holiday Special for $5.99. Web site accepted order and shipped. Not a super great case, but offers some protection and has a handle for carrying.

You mean the case logic one ? how tightly does it fit ? looks more like a square sized.

Might want to consider the $4.21 case crown cases from amazon.

Great idea, let us know how it holds up over time.

Looks like your tablet sits in there loose, but nice try
