As my attempt to organize a group buy was closed I might try the tegratab forum to start one there.
The case is still in the mail but I hope to have it soon.
I will post pictures of the original dock later today because I have to run out for a bit. The dock I hope will be in the mail soon but as I mentioned before.. it's expensive.
Here are the pictures of the official malata dock.
Sorry, forgot to post them yesterday.
I like the looks of the dock. What types of connections does it have on he back?
it's the same connections as the copy version on taobao.
1 x ethernet (10/100)
1 x HDMI 1.2
1 x USB
1 x Power
I hope to have more info on this soon.
looks nice....i am about to buy the tab from Sears, would love to know the price of the dock, is this the official dock ? how much did it cost and from where?
It's the official malata zpad dock but I don't have it yet. Unfortunately the pricing is like $65 so I don't know if I will order it because that's a but on the high side for me too.
The sample case will be arriving Thursday (Dec 2nd) if customs doesn't slow it down any more.
I'm sorry..
Sorry my friend, maybe my mistakes Caused your post has been closed.
You will be get the sample tomorrow?please give me a
information.
The case was just delivered but UPS!
All the work has paid off!! It's a perfect fit for the g-tablet.
Will get some pictures online tonight and start a group buy at a different place.
Here are the pictures with the g-tablet in the case.
Case is made out of real leather (smells better then chemicals) and the inside is a soft suede to protect the tablet.
The viewing angle works perfect for me and when I am looking at the screen I don't have any problems with the bad viewing angles of the g-tablet which is a big plus.
It's very sturdy and even sitting it on books or an uneven surface won't make it tip over.

Is there a version of this without that click flap/strap thing? I'm looking for something really simple like the apple made one for the ipad which is similar in design but doesn't have that clumsy clasp thing. Thanks.
If you want one without the strap then I think that would be possible yes.
It's a fairly custom product.
I'd also prefer without the clasp. Since you have one, can you see whether it is easily removed or unstitched?

It's the sample..maybe have the one without click flap/strap.instead of Built-in magnets.and,the part of the standing can also be changed into scaffolding. cut into the bottom bracket from the case.
I would love to get one which is custom made for the tablet? How much is it to get it delivered in Florida/USA?
It's not allowed to sell here but send me a PM and I can give you more info.
Case looks great Agreed. Smaller clasp with magnet instead of snaps would be ideal.
How long would it take to get a batch made in such a way?
I'll arrange for one without the clasp/strap.
I would like one without the clasp/strap also
I'm curious to see what it looks like without that clasp/strap. I'm very intrigued by this case, it looks really good.
I'll try to get more info on the options and if without is actually possible.
To give my 2 cents. I wasn't crazy about the clasp either from the first pictures and that it sticks out when sitting down. Now that I actually have the case I wouldn't want it without it. It feels solid when closed and looks very nice. Everyone their own choice
I'll see what info I can get.
I'm trying to get a place together to organize the group buy so hang in there.
For more info just PM me and I will try to get back to you as soon as possible.
Thanks!
Ok so I took the plunge and ordered a "G" to replace my iPad... I know I'll be needing a SD card (obviously) and am wondering what brand and class the majority of you use. I'll be using mine for storing videos and music... possibly running a few apps off too. Anyone have any really cool cases they have found and would like to suggest? Any tips and or links would be greatly appreciated.

These are all great. A few alternates:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004JF9N1O/ref=oss_product - Same case with keyboard listed above, for about the same price, but through amazon. Also ships incredibly quickly (I got mine in 2 days from the date of purchase).
http://www.gotshadeonline.com/products-page/tablets/viewsonic-g-tablet/ - A much cheaper version of the carbon fiber vinyl back covers from Skinomi...also, made by an XDA member!
I would recommend going to a craft store and getting a dish stand. I got a wooden one that folds and it workz great for holding the tablet. Plus it under 9 dollars
Great list, I appreciate it... have any of you used that keyboard case? How is it on the battery? I would think that it would really shorten its life, but then again I know bluetoon really hits the iPads and my current android phone too. So maybe this would be better. What are your thoughts?

I have everything on the list I provided except for the Malata case. This usb keyboard case does the job. When you get it you may have to move the left tab down or remove it completely as it may block access to the usb port on your gTab. Some users have said that if you tell the seller you need the one for the gTab they may send you a case that already has the left tab moved down.
With that said, these cases shouts "CHEAP". It is made of shiny plastic pleather. The keyboard is also not coated with silicone so it can rub against the screen of your gTab and damage it. Finally, the case doesn't feel secure. It feels like the tablet is moving around a lot. Some users have added velcro to their gTabs and the case to hold it more securely. It does come in handy when you need to type a lot. It doesn't seem to draw the battery much at all.
As for wireless keyboards, some users have had success with wireless bluetooth and usb keyboards especially the ones that use a dongle plugged into the usb port.
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 was wondering if something like this existed that would work with the Flyer for under $40.

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.
"Yeah, I'll take your wallet, your watch, your belt, but you can keep that crummy book."

LOL when your house gets robbed (not that it will) they'll steal the wallet, money, computers, but not a book!
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
twelvesouth's "bookbook" (i cant post links yet).
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 Folio Kindle E-Reader Cover + Volant Notebook
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.
I'm looking for a good sleeve/pouch style case for my tab 7.7.
I want it to protect it from scratches and maybe for "short" drops.
I have this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/SAMSUNG-GAL...ED8E/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1330242173&sr=8-6 , it serves the purpose but is too ugly for my taste
http://www.amazon.co.uk/HORIZONTAL-...RIOR-ACCESSORIES/dp/B005VAEDIY/ref=pd_cp_ce_1
I've got this one while I wait for my book cover style case from China / Hong Kong
Did you get it? Is it any good?
Sent from my GT-P6800 using XDA App
Yes, I received it on Saturday and it was a quick delivery as well. It's originally designed for the BlackBerry playbook and slightly smaller in dimensions in comparison to the 7.7
Some photos soon perhaps...
Another option is PDAIR, they also have pouch type case :
http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=11000659_11001131_11001398&products_id=35043
IIRC, their case got some positive reviews before
Here are some photos attached to this post
I ordered a Noreve case for my 7.7, to hold me off while I wait, I picked up a Blackberry Playbook Zip sleeve. It was on clearance at a local store, got it for $10 vs the $40 it originally sold for!
It fits as if it was custom made for the 7.7, it's an absolutely perfect fit and nice quality! Getting this for $10 almost makes me feel like I wasted $100 over at Noreve, lol.
http://crackberry.com/blackberry-playbook-zip-sleeve
Ive already got this one and it works pretty good. I originally got it for a HTC EVO View, but it works good for my 7.7. I also just ordered this, only $7.45 shipped and the embroidered "Galaxy Tab" logo looks great. It also has a pull tab that lifts the tablet out of the sleeve. I know it will fit with no case on, but Im hoping it will fit with a snap on case I ordered from Brando. Probably wont, but Ill still use it.
PSA: The black Tab sleeve (ET-GTABBSSGSTA) doesn't fit the 7.7. Not wide enough.

I can confirm this. I wrote a short Amazon review so other 7.7 owners will know.
I went for the BlackBerry PlayBook case too - Only £7.50 delivered from Amazon UK.
It is a perfect fit and is made of memory foam. Quality.
Ahhg - it's only £4.41 now! Still - it was good value at £7.50.
Black, Grey, Orange or Sky Blue
Not sure if it's the exact one, there's no label on it and I've thrown away the packaging. But, using a Belkin Kindle case works well for me.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Belkin-Neop...?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1331722112&sr=1-10
I've also got the Samsung book case, which fits nicely into the Belkin case for some extra protection when it's in my bag.
I got the blackberry one as well today. Is quite nice

Nook Color/Tablet sleeves work as well. So you can add those to the list. Accessories are pretty scarce at the moment so I'm reusing my Nook sleeve until my case arrives in the mail.
This is the one I'm using:

Is the Belkin case you're talking about actually for the Kindle Keyboard (3rd generation)? I have a sleeve for my kindle 3 and while I can slide the tab in, the top sticks out a bit. I should see if I can find my old kindle 2 case.

Well to be honest I know nothing about kindles so no idea which is which. The cover I have is pretty much the exact size of the Tab, it fits perfectly.
Actually, just found it on a local Aussie site. It's this one: http://www.bigw.com.au/electronics/...78149/belkin-grip-vue-sleeve-for-kindle-black

Thanks for this post. EVO view case fits perfectly
Not to resurrect a somewhat dead n' buried thread, but I'm on the hunt for a sleeve to protect my 7.7 while keeping the OEM bookstyle case always equipped on it.
I'm utterly disappointed at the lack of sleeves specifically designed for this tablet considering its made by Samsung, a top tier mobile computing company. Kind of reminds me why my next PC build will be Intel and not AMD, less third party vendor support - simply better chipsets and mobos. Maybe we should all get Ipads just to get some proper accessory support?
I'm kidding, but suggestions are appreciated. I even checked out amazon uk and can't find anything decent. I'm not too crazy about using a playbook branded sleeve either.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brand-New...ccessories&hash=item231876b2b0#ht_5251wt_1031
I am currently using this one，pretty good nice. works fine，shipping very fast
Just an FYI, the Blackberry Playbook Leather Sleeve, also works well with the Tab 7.7.
