Hey All,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jV212l8L7-k
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?

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

It has the removable shoulder strap and an outside zipper compartment. I can cram a pretty good bit of extra "stuff" in there, adapters, wireless mouse, flash drives, etc.

Just wanted to tell you I'm loving your nym
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.

I picked this up and it looks great:
http://www.amazon.com/Acer-AOD250-1...?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1299249594&sr=1-22
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.
Anyone checked out this bad boy from belkin? At a whopping $8 it seems like quite the bargain.

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.
Ok, so I am looking for something temporary that makes it easy to take the tablet out and use and i think i prefer not having a zipper because i just dont think metal needs to be anywhere near the tablet when it comes to a case. So I am thinking about one of the 3 cases and they are all under $10. Free 2 day shipping with amazon prime as well. My biggest concerns with them though is that they might be to big. I dont want the tablet sliding around in it. Here are the options i have found so far:
http://www.amazon.com/Envelop-Neopr...?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1305695940&sr=1-39
http://www.amazon.com/Kensington-K6...2-Inch/dp/B002NU5R3A/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
http://www.amazon.com/Asus-T101MT-E...TF8&coliid=I3ULO79FFYTHW8&colid=3V2S2G7N6FICX
I am kind of leaning towards the Asus one above, but the envelope style one might be nice. I didnt find any in the compatible thread that fit my needs. I will probably be getting a dock (whenever best buy has them available as i have a $100 BB gift card to burn there), nothing is in stone yet. I really wanted a case with a stand, but the asus transformer one seems like crap and the price is to high and doesnt work with the dock.
Help me make a decision as i have been shopping to long. =) I could just buy 2 of the 3, but i dont want to waste money either and Im not one to return a $10 item. I am open to other ideas as well. Thanks!
Keep your eye

Keep your eye on It2steve's site: electroniccrap.com If you want to waiting about 9days. You will not be disappointed.
Just ordered one from ebay for 10" netbook, should only have 2cm more than the transformer on the width... should fit great with the keyboard dock and only 3.28$
Here is the link for anyone interested, (also, does anyone actually tried those sleeve and how did it fit, i am waiting for my dock to come in but the dimensions should fit or be really close...)
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250759188954#ht_4779wt_1035
as for the messenger bag, i would have definately got one from amazon but i am in canada and the shipping is monstruous and the ones from amazon.CA are 3-4 times the price so i am looking on ebay...
If you are Sam's Club member
I found a sleeve at Sam's Club for 7.88 by Case Logic. Zips shut and has a small pocket on the front the cord and power supply (I keep an micro fiber cloth for cleaning the display also). Works great with the tablet and keyboard.
I ended up getting the Asus one as it was only about $12 after overnight shipping. Will update you guys on how it fits.
CaseCronw is releasing standby case today and it looks promising..i see that the other cases they sell for other tablets have gotten pretty good review.. i just wanted to get some opinions before i jump on this..anyone else thinking of getting or ordered it already?..

Looks nice and under $20. Assuming this is fulfilled by Amazon like their other products, I might have to pick one up.
edit: There's a video in the reviews for the iPad version. Looks great! Tight fit and very thin.
http://www.amazon.com/CaseCrown-App...Y8CR6S3G5&s=electronics&qid=1308957186&sr=1-1
checking out shows $26.56 with tax and shipping.. can this item be fulfilled by amazon at some point? i think i still might jump on this, its still cheaper than most other cases.
Damn, I'm tempted to get this. I've been wanting a good case and I already have a carrying case by case crown. But Roocase's case seems like a better option because its multi angle.
Ill probably pull the trigger on this sometime this week. I just want the thinnest stand case possible. The multi angle is less important to me than being thin and light. Most of the others are bulky and if I wanted something an inch thick that protects the screen I could just just carry the keyboard dock.
The pics on Amazon of the CaseCrown look identical to the case (Jazz) I bought from Steve over at electroniccrap.com..
http://electroniccrap.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=34_36&products_id=51
The flap on the back and the way it tucks, along with the viewing angle and case material seem quite comparable...
I'm happy with the Jazz...fit is good and material is decent, especially given the price point....is rather difficult to type at the given angle...I think I would prefer something with multiple viewing/typing angles and a little better quality material...but again, for the price paid it is a good option...I'm betting the CaseCrown will give similar results...
Ryan...should give you the thin, light case you are looking for...that was my main need and am satisfied from that standpoint...
Is this about the thinnest and lightest we can expect from a fold over case like that?
I'm getting tired of not being able to bring my transformer out due to not having any protection. Stingray, you're making me want this case even more so I hope I'm not disappointed after I order it.
Actually now that I look at it the pictures, it seems like the jazz might even be thinner than the casecrown? It's hard to tell but maybe I'm just seeing things?
Went ahead and pulled the trigger, worth trying for 25.
Finally a case built specifically for the transformer that looks decent! Definitely looking to get this. Can anyone confirm whether or not the tablet docks correctly WITH THE CASE ON?
None of them are built with the case accommodating the dock. It would pretty much require the entire bottom to be cut out.

Has anyone got this shipped yet? It says in stock july 5th?
just thought i'd throw in my 2 cents here. i just bought 10 CaseCrown iPad2 standby cases for upper management at work and they are really nice cases. one of my friend had one and after messing with it, i liked it enough to recommend to the execs. as soon as the case came up on amazon for the TF i ordered one immediately.
i highly recommend CaseCrown.
Just got an "out of stock" email. They said resupply by Jul 8. Debating cancelling my order.

Got an auto email Friday stating they will ship Jun 27th but got nothing so shouted email to them and they stated they did not have enough stock to meet the preorders, next stock they receive is no later than July 8th. I threatened to cancel so they are willing to discount $3 if I wait till then. I preordered Jun 15.
I am in Canada and don't know how these guys ship so I may get this case by August. HA, HA!
Weird, just checked my email and they state it has been shipped.?

The dock compatibility has the downside of exposing the bottom to possible dust and impact. Only way I see a case supporting dock to be fully protective when undocked is if it had some kind of detachable bottom for when you need to actually dock, Probably would be good if it was held in by tiny pop-in buttons of sorts and with a as small a presence as possible so it doesn't cause any discomfort in holding the tablet.
Alright my fellow Canadians, if there are any, if you have a Prime you're probably just as pissed as I am about the lack of anything for this tablet up here and even more so I'm pissed at Amazon for refusing to ship anything here. SO, if you see anything for the TP in/available to Canada, post it up here
pretty sure there aren't any sleeves for the prime yet at all. I went to staples and bought a generic netbook 10.1 inch sleeve from targus. Its a little fat for the prime but I figure it'll fit in there much better when my keyboard arrives (if ever)
Basically. Just take your prime to an electronics store and see which sleeve it fits in
I'm waiting for my Prime, but I've been lurking on this sie for a case too. I was hoping to get that roo-case listed here from Amazon. I haven't tried to order it from Amazon.com, but I did read that they will ship to Canada.
What is their reason not to ship to you?
I noticed a few of the cases would ship from amazon.com to Canada - sadly, not all, but there is some selection.
So far every one on Amazon has refused to ship up here :-( just says sorry can't ship to your address

I ordered this case off ebay. I dont even have the tablet yet but I wanted to be prepared.
case logic pls-9
I just got the case today and I must say, it is quite a nice case. It neoprene on the outside and suede on the inside with a pouch on the outside for storing cables and such as well as a small spot for a thumb drive.
If you are looking for a soft case with good padding I highly reccomend it.

Hey guys, email them, you'll get it for next to nothing. Amazon has some stupid requirement that things have to arrive within like 5 - 10 days at max or something like that and the only way for them to meet that is to charge $25 expedited. If yoiu email them and say you're in Canada, the guy told me he'll ship it China Post but it won't be within to 5 -10 but I don't care.
Just email em direct, BCSstore or whatever, originally the guy said just order it, put a UK or China delivery address and tell him the order number with an address in CA and he'll change it. Try it out, I got mine with free shipping and expected delivery is like 10 - 15 I think. I asked the guy if others could email direct he said sure, only issue is availability of stock
On the other hand, wanted one of those matte HHI screen protectors, they sell a 3 pack for $12 and want $24 for shipping, emailed them, they basically told be to get bent
I use this one, got it at Bestbuy for about $9 too.
Not sure if it was the 9" or 10" version
but it fits perfectly even with the dock attached.

I bought this case from Futureshop and it fits well.
Tucano Finatex 10"

It has 2 compartments and the larger one is divided in half where the back half fits the prime alone quite well. The front half would fit the prime attached to the dock or the dock separately. The smaller compartment has a mini pocket in it to hold an iPod or phone sized device with a space for headphones to travel up the strap and exit near your shoulder.
The only thing I didn't like (it isn't specific to this case) is that the USB charger wall wart has no place to go that is not a danger to the screen if the bag gets squished.
2 pages and 20 days later and the OP is still absolutely right on track:

Alright my fellow Canadians, if there are any, if you have a Prime you're probably just as pissed as I am about the lack of anything for this tablet up here and even more so I'm pissed at Amazon for refusing to ship anything here.

I just can't believe how hard it is to find a sleeve/case that fits a minimum requirements.
I'd love to get the Moko, Verteks, Roocase, Vipertek, Blurex slim sleeves (the one at multi-angle, portrait only mode) as they all seem to have the necessary cutouts of ports and speaker, and would allow docking the keyboard without removing the sleeve.
Except, they are ALL unavailable on Amazon.com, and I can't find any of these anywhere else.
Only thing available are the kind of sleeves/cases which cover the front side areas of the tablets which to me, is a no go as these can not be used alongside a dock ; or those like the MiniSuit which doesn't have a stand for the tablet alone.
Worse than that, the same thing goes for the screen shields ! It's impossible to get one here in Canada.
I can't wait to start using my tablet all the time (and get rid of my aging netbook) but I'm just too afraid to scratch it.
Really frustrated at this situation. And I did spend at least 4-5 hours in the past 2-3 days researching all the above.
