I've been using the foldable Arkon tablet stand for a few days now and am very pleased with it.
Features:
holds the Gtab in both orientations without any problem - even in a case/cover
rubber feet prevent it from slilding around on smooth surfaces
rubber face on verticle post prevents the tablet from sliding around
two piece design of the upright allows for adjustment to nearly any viewing angle
(critically important for the Gtab considering the poor screen viewing angle in landscape mode)
inexpensive (around $13 from Amazon)
folds easily and compactly

I have this stand and it's terrific. Very secure, portable, adjustable. It's all good.
I don't have a case, but I have had an Arkon stand for about a month and absolutely love it. Very sturdy and allows you to plug it in without getting in the way. Will probably get another so I don't have to carry it to the office.
Just got the stand today. Definitely a must have.
Definitely +1 on the Arkon stand. Sturdy, flexible, nicely padded. I like how you can easily pick up the stand with the gTablet on it and move it around securely. I might also get a second stand for work.
@slsmag: The stand is great, but where'd you get that cover? It looks like it fits the gtab pretty well!

I might be one of the few guys around here who remembers bookmobiles as a kid, and since one of the main reasons I bought the Nook Tablet was to use as a reader this cover really appealed to me.
I found it at our local B&N while I was returning two other covers I tried and didn't like. They had just gotten these in and hadn't put them on the shelves yet. Kind of pricey at $40 but I'm happy with it. It has the nice secure clips that the BN branded covers have.

That looks great. I love covers that make it look like a book. It's the best way to carry around inconspicuously. Also great that it has the B&N clips... I don't like a lot of the third party covers that uses the corner straps (kills the esthetics when opened).

Thanks! Even though it's not leather it kind of has a weathered look that I like.
I totally agree on the clips. I almost got a Moleskine cover but I don't like the elastic holders in the corners and although I think they work fairly well for my lighter Nook Simple Touch I was worried that with the much heavier Tablet they wouldn't hold it as securely. The B&N clip mount allows you to pop it in and out very quickly.
I was looking for a reasonably priced case that I could quickly remove the tablet from and could act as a stand for watching videos on the plane/train.
This ticks most of the boxes. See pictures below:

Easy access to ports
Charging port is fully accessible
When in full profile stand the tablet doesn't rotate (as it is effectively upside down).
As you can see it is really easy to open the top and grab the tablet
Pros
- Decent price (£30 in the UK)
- All ports seem accessible (there is a whole for the the IR but I have not tested)
- Very easy to get the tablet in/out, probably about 5 seconds
- No need to use Velcro strips
- Magnetic closure
Cons
- A little bulky
- Can only use as a stand if in the low profile setting when set as a full stand it looks great but the tablet is effectively upside down and apps don't rotate.
Thanks for the review! I'm still waiting on a case I can use my dock with...
I recommend luvtab from amazon. Better i.e. not upside-down stand, cheaper, cutout for infrared larger, front camera cutout includes light sensor.

I've got a case from ebay -$15.99.

There is no hole for IR but if you have a scissors it is not a problem.
Other than that, pretty good. Protects the tab and works as a stand in 3 positions.
So, after wanting to try a wrap for so long, and seeing how it doesn't exactly provide the ultimate protection that I wanted for my G3, I combined a few elements to come up with a setup that works perfectly for me and looks nice at the same time. First, I got the Tech Armor Ultraclear Ballistic Glass screen protector. It fits perfectly, I still get maximum input, and barely notice it's there.
Then, I got the Teak Wood wrap from Slickwraps. Finally, in order to protect the corners and sides, but still be able to appreciate the wrap, I got a bumper case from Nillkin. Love the combination and the bumper case is exactly what I was looking for, for a little added protection. The case is very snug, a perfect fit with all the right cutouts in place.

Looks pretty sweet and great idea with the wrap on back cover I like it and should protect against scratches, doesnt take away the nice design LG have done like a full cover would.
Another benefit would be more efficient wireless charging(if charging with case on and using stock LG wireless charger)since no bulky cover, looks to me like LG wireless charger would easily fit between that bumper, could be wrong though.
The Nillkin Bumper is working 100% with wireless charging (at least with the Nokia DT910)

Supported portrait position
Supported landscape position (back)
The case closed
The case opened
The case fits 100%, but it may be a bit tight if you don't remove the back protector on the tablet.
It supports on-off mode (turns on the screen when opened and it turns off the screen when closed).
The only thing I am not happy is there's no anti-slip corners.
Hi, I just ordered one and I'm interested in the magnets in the cover.
Some reviewers say that they aren't very secure and if the case is faced down the screen cover just drops.
I heard the case is a bit on the heavy side, but it seems pretty well made, I'm hoping the weight isn't that noticeable
Also, is the MicroSD slot covered?
Thanks, the information would be appreciated.

The cover stays well, and the micro SD cover reveals as pic 4.
i was thinking of buying one but i was affraid the cover gets old very fast as it shows on the 3rd pictures. it get a lot of wrinkles on the "Y"
Im looking for a travel case/pouch/bag that fits the Tab S4 with Keyboard Cover and S-Pen attached. All I can find are Ipad-cases that are 4:3 format, and I want a snug 16:10 format case in this typical design:

Any recommendations? Dont want a case with 4 cm to spare on the sides of the tablet haha.

Looking for the same thing. Have tried a number of sleeve cases but everything is too small or too big. Yet to find the perfect one.
I think this one may fit well. May still have some wiggle but would think it should be pretty close to size of the Tab.. I actually have a larger one that I use for my Surface Pro 5 and tried it with my Tab. It definitely has room to spare but the tab doesn't move much. On both of these, the interior has a fleece lining that should keep the Tab from sliding too much while inside. I would

Cultofmac posted a great review on the best cases, I personally like one from Logitech, I will atach a pic above the post. Different travel blogs offer very nice reviews on the latest models, I would try to seek one using Google search by pictures.

I'd love one like the pic. Do you have a link?
hello, I think the 4:3 iPad covers are a very convenient model, but I have a different-sized iPad. The last time I bought a business flight ticket to Kwajalein this case fit well with my design and the trip as a whole. It is desirable that the cover is loosely held, thanks to which the tablet will be stored longer
