Hey All,

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?

I got a case at Staples. $24.00 SOLO Style LVL106-3 H10 MFG #S25. Works great and able to use when charging device.
I got this case at office depot for $5. Super nice padding.

Hey all,
I just saw this case on SlickDeals, and was wondering if anyone had one, and if it fits the GTab well? On sale for $4 with free shipping... might be worth checking out...
http://outlet.lenovo.com/accessories/57y6563.html
Just an update, I found this on the Regular Lenovo site... it's normally $16.99... so this should be a good deal, if there are no defects, etc...
only thing I see is that the S10 it is made for is 9.8" long, and the Gtab is 10.5" long... so it might be a tight fit... but the reviewers on SlickDeals say it had room to spare... like 11"-12" total.

Looks nice, I like the handle. In for 1.
Thanks!
Free 3-day UPS shipping too. You really can't beat this deal if all you are looking for is a general protective carrying case.
Ordered one this morning.
We'll see. Can't go wrong for $4+$0.28 tax.
My w00tab came today and about 30 minutes later the targus bag from Lenovo showed up. It fits perfectly, very happy with this
Thanks so much for the heads up!
If you have or found a good case, post it here.
I bought the official case from TMO. It's a little pricey but provides excellent protection. As a matter of fact, the faucet in my bathroom leaks and I left my tablet on the counter one night. I woke the next morning and my tablet was sitting in a puddle of water that extended halfway up the case. Took the case off, wiped everything down, and plugged it back in. Worked fine. Even the liquid indicator was still white.

Ditto on the TMO case.. seems $20 too high, but honestly a pretty good hunk of hardware for your tablet. I will have one spare once I have my tablet mounted into my car dash..

Another vote for the TMo case and you are right about the price but you can buy it off Ebay for about $20 less unless you are like me and want it right now.
Can anyone pls post a picture/link to this TMo case?
Would like to know how it looks, whats the price and where to get it.. thanks

The brand is Incipio and I purchased mine from a TMo store for like $50. I had seen the same one on Ebay for half the price but I didn't want to wait. I checked Ebay and the case is no longer listed. I also looked on the Incipio web site and they don't even list it. I don't have a picture but the case is black and the tablet kind of snaps down into the bottom part of the case. You can open the case(it is held closed with an elastic strap) and you have three positions that the tablet can be set into. They range from a fairly good tilt to darn near upright. I have found the case to be quite nice and it really doesn't add much to the overall size. Hope this helps.

Pictures attached.
On the second picture, you can see bubbles in the microfiber. That's the glue separating because I got it wet.
I bought on ebay a smart cover like this from the auction 170821966479. It's thin, good protection and a good stand. I am very happy with it.
The TMO case is so popular in the US, but outside there are two options: universal 7 inch case or a not so bad case designed for the media pad. Search for t-mobile springboard case on ebay.
I bought a cheap-o case off eBay for $16. Listing was questionable as the sellers account was terminated the day after I bought it. I still got the case this morning after 3 weeks though. 2 problems with it. It's a little too thing for the springboard, so the outside edge around the display doesn't quit fold over all the way and sticks up. Secondly, the hole for the front facing camera is slightly off and the camera just barely peeks out from it.
Might not stick with the case though. Without the case I've always been able to stick it in my back pocket (slacks or jeans) and walk around with it to a few places, lunch breaks, dog walks, etc. With the case its a no go.

Yes, I have also found this one on eBay. I have ordered it (the same colour like lilaliend). But it never arrived (I got my money back). Fortunatelly!!
After the first attempt with eBay, I have decided to invest a bit more money and ordered a leather case from PDair:
qqq.pdair.com/index.php/ebook-reader-tablet/huawei/huawei-mediapad/leather-case-for-huawei-mediapad-book-type-black.htmk
(in the URL please replace qqq with www and htmk with html)
You can buy it directly from PDair for $80. This is quite a lot of money. But PDair's reseller for Middle East sells the same case ("book type") for $60:
tbeyond.com/leather-case-for-huawei-mediapad-book-type-black-p-14363.htmk
(in the URL please replace htmk with html)
Free Worldwide Shipping. Even though the reseller is based in United Arab Emirates, the case came from Hong Kong. Delivery to Germany was without any problems.
My experience with the case from PDair: The case is simply excellent. I highly recommend it. It is worth the money:
PROS:
- durable black leather
- magnets! It closes with magnets
- the tablet fits nicely into the case (in contrast to the cheap case from eBay - see post from lilaliend)
- all holes (front and rear cameras, USB and HDMI ports, charger) are precisely where they should be
CONS:
- the case is rather thick. They use multiple layers of leather (you can see it on the pictures on the PDair website). So the tablet is really well protected. But with the case you can not put the tablet into your back pocket...
TMobile Incipio case for Springboard has dropped in price
If you were to shop for it now on the TMobile site the Incipio case is now $29. That's about $15 to maybe $20 cheaper than when I bought it earlier in the year. ARGH!
I do love my case though. The only thing that's bad is when you are in portrait mode and the front cover doesn't sit nicely back when holding it in that position.

I wanted a case that had a zippered closure, for added protection. I had this case from when I had purchased the Kindle Fire. But I decided to see if it would fit the Springpad. It does, with a bit of sanding or cutting.
This is an option if you are willing to sand down or cut two nibs from the top two clips. Each clip has two nibs, the one you want to sand down or cut is the one on the right for each clip. I have attached some pictures so you can see the zippered case and the two clips above, and a close up of the cut. Mine is a bit sloppy, but hey, I'm not complaining. See pictures.

Great... I am happy with my incipio but I got this off ebay because it would be nice to prop it in portrait mode. I guess I could report how well it does when it comes.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brown-Magic...7-SLIM-MediaPad-SPRINGBOARD?item=270998785548
this is my combo "temporary" case and universal stand. :laugh:
still looking for a folio-type case and I just got news that the local distributor here already has stocks and giving it for free for new buyers of MediaPad. :silly:
I wanted a case that protects the corners, could prop up the MediaPad in landscape and (!) did not cover the front (like some cases that cover the bezel around the display).
Turns out that this case for the Lenovo Ideapad A1 fits just fine. Only the hole for the camera is in the wrong place, but I don't use the Pad's camera anyway. Nice sleek design. Reeks of plastic/glue the first few days, but the smell wears off quickly and then you have a smart-looking case for your MediaPad.
Apparently this case comes with different names around the globe. Have a look at the pictures and see what's available in your country.
Hi
I'm using the EasyAcc Case for nearly a year now.
It fits great, exept the hole for the frontcamera could be a milimeter bigger.
I do not know, in it is available outside Germany.

Been dragging my feet on getting a cover/sleeve. Just came up on this tonight. Ordered one for $12 shipped. $20 less than most online vendors.
u got pics or info?
more info
I cant post links yet but if you search for it on sams club website it is the official Asus Versasleeve. Mine shipped today.
Looks like it should fit the tablet and the dock although it looks like an older model in the pictures. Let us know how it works. I need something to protect my new TF300.

finally got it
So I finally got it and am pleased. Tablet slides in and out easily, gives the ability to stand it at an upright angle, loop for a stylus. Speaker accessable when upright and when in the sleeve, just unflip the front flap and you can charge it. Seems the flaps are magnetic to keep it secure. It is brown and sleek looking and for $12 I def cant complain

Out of stock at Sam's Club... just checked... Everyone else is selling it from $35 to $40...
I have used an i-Blason rugged 2-piece silicone kickstand case for my Nexus 5 and Galaxy S4. I was really happy with it, especially for the $5-$10 price.
Unfortunately, the same case for my Nexus 6 won't be available until December 1st...so I was searching for something else, even if it was just temporary.
I found what appears to be the same exact case (these all come from the same place in China I think, with minor cosmetic variations) for only $1.95 AND Amazon Prime 2 day shipping.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E4RV8DS/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I purchased it and was sad to see a delivery estimate of Tuesday...6 days from now! I spoke to an Amazon chat rep and he immediately upgraded me to 1 day shipping for free and now it's estimated to arrive on Friday!
Hopefully this case is the same as the i-Blason version and is a real steal...but as long as it is usable for a few weeks I will be quite happy.
You can read my review for the i-Blason version here:

I bought it the day I pre-ordered my 32GB Blue via AT&T. It showed up fast. Seems well built especially for $2 bucks. I can post photos if someone finds value in it.
