review: Arkon tab stand - G Tablet Accessories

This stand can be found on Amazon for about 13.00 shipped prime!

where Gpad fits the stand:
The stand and all its capabilities:
So far its exactly what I was looking for. I had seen another Gtab reviewer on Amazon say that it just didn't fit well with the stand. I think it fits perfect and with the foam rubber grip/pad material on the stand you can actually just grab your Gtab to move to another table or something and the stand will stay attached because its so light. I like this as I move from location to location at work with my hands full. I would otherwise have to fold it down and put it in my pocket.
If anyone wants to know that bag is a caselogic that fits the Gtab perfect! The bag is going for like 9.00 + free shipping!

I also picked up the Skinomi carbon/screen protector for 24.00 + free shipping from amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003F8UJAU I wont bother with pictures as everyone has seen this product. I will say the carbon is great and worth the money but the screen protector is almost a throw away item... with light reflection you can see all kinds of imperfections in it. I feel the material is just too soft and rubbery. I've got real look on my phone and it is the perfect protector IMO.

Thanks for doing this. Looks pretty good, I'll have to check it out.

The stand also fits nicely folded up in the outer zipper pocket of the 'official' Viewsonic/Case Logic pouch-case ($5.99 at Sears), along with the power cord.

No problem guys, I've got a "ipad" windshield car mount on its way that I will be doing a review on as well.http://www.usbfever.com/index_eproduct_view.php?products_id=1991 After over a week of searching what is out there I decided on this because it looks the least generic, not noticeable with tablet installed, tab is quickly accessible, and the suction cup + dash stand should shield from vibrations. I took a gamble if the Gtab is going to fit with this though as I couldn't find any info if someone has used it yet. From the pictures of it holding the ipad it is a slim fit from the cutouts to the backing plate. I googled the specs and the Gtab is about 1mm thicker than the 1st I pad (which fits this) so I'm going to take my chances and if need be file out the cutouts. There are other nice mounts on that site that will work for sure but are more bulky.

I went with this bag as it was slim and goes into my backpack with the macbook pro in the "laptop" pouch for work. I put all other accessories into the other pouch of the backpack. Good call for those that want all in one little bag though.

Ordered, thanks!

Sams Club
I picked up a very similar case logic case at Sams club for $7 and change. The only difference I can see is that is opens on the side not the top and has handles to carry with.
