BEST Case for PDA2K/XDAIII ?
I'm having hard time deciding as to what would
be the best case for my PDA2K. The case that comes with it
is very uncofortable and hard to take the pda quickly out of it
when you have a call.
Up till now, I've found 4 cases that were designed
especially for the i-mate. I would have preferred an
aluminium hightech looking case as opposed to elegant leather
case which kinda 'hides' the gadget, but all I found was leather
cases. I also don't know what would be more confortable the flip
or the book style type.
speically built and suited for the PDA2K but there is'tas well, as my preferance i

They all look good. what do you think? Also, any good aluminium case for the PDA2K? The ones I saw all fit only the imate 2020
Thanks guys
I had info from the export dept. at Pielframa that they will be previewing an alu case for the BlueAngel any time now.
I just ordered this
http://www.suntekstore.com/leather-case-o2-xda-iii-bi-folder.html
It's cheap and looks like the PDA clips into the case. No plastic over the keyboard either.
I'll post to let everyone one know how pleased I am with my purchase! :wink:
Any pouch type of cases available?

There is also this CASE
and THIS ONE
I just preordered this one:

outz,
When are you expecting your Innopocket case? I have a few questions:
1. Are the application buttons above the D-Pad accessible through the case? It looks like they will be hidden.
2. How is your WiFi reception? Talk is that WiFi in general with the Blue Angel isn't very good, but I'd think putting the device in a "metal box" will make it even worse.
Keep us posted.
Thanks!
I didn't think about the Aluminium case will block WiFi making the poor reception of the PDA2K even poorer (can it get worse than that? lol)
My guess is that an aluminium case may make the WiFi even poorer, I think I'll go a leather case as this seems to be the only viable choice.

That's what I'm thinking. I was hoping that Vaja (http://www.vajacases.com) would make a semi-rigid leather case for the Blue Angel as they did for the XDA II, but when I emailed their support group, I was told they will not be making a case for the Blue Angel at all.
Bummer...

Nice! I'm still waiting for mine.
I just received my innopocket aluminum case. It's great! custom cutouts for the blinking leds, 5-way pad, answer/hangup, speaker, mic, ir, camera button, record, volume, power button, headphones, reset, and even a slider to cover up/uncover the camera when you need it. You are able to flip the front door upwards and slide out the kboard when you need it.
Correction:2nd--5th pic is the leather case for Zpad T2/G tab
1st,and last 3 pics is the PU case for Zpad T8
There are some pics of Zpad T8, The new PAD of MALATA...
Black and white..
any words???
More pics...
That first one is an IPS screen - 1024x768, so not the same size. The other one might fit, however.
I'm already working on getting one of these here to see if they fit! If so, expect a full review and for me to look to start carrying these as well. (M2 maybe?)
Yes, T8 is 9.7'' IPS screen...
4th picture is a gtab/zpad
im intested in that black case in the 3rd pic. where did you find it?
I would love to get my hands on one of these.
be careful because some people said the new case smells terrible,i am not sure.
On hand of one.

I have white one on my hand. The smell is because the surface of PU paint.
If you do not put your nose close to the CASE, you will not smell.
However, it is really smell.

Looking forward to your review. Where can we buy these at since your initial impression is "pleasantly surprised"?
AFAK Zpad T8 and T2 (GTab) have the same size. At least this is what I have seen in their respective web pages thec spec. If this is OK, I understand that Gtab will fit well in T8 case.
Could some one please confirm this. I do not live in USA so I cant buy from it2steve warehouse and have to buy directly from taobao
Thanks

Hey all,
I found this on amazon. Thought maybe some might be interested. It's a cheap alternative and I've already placed my order for it. 9.58 isn't alot to spend and that's all i figured I'd lose. I ordered the brown one but there's a black one too. Might be a cheaper alternative to the tuf-luv case since some were worried about the bulk. I'll update this once I receive it and give you some pics.
Since it won't allow me to url tags or give out the url, search for Navitech + Asus and you should see what I'm talking about.
Let me know what you think!
This looks JUST like the Elsse Premium Synthetic Leather Case (there's a thread about this elsewhere in this sub forum). They were having a discussion there about whether or not the case would work with the dock as well, and I guess the answer would be yes, if you unfasten the velcro?
Can anybody confirm?
Is this what you mean? Looks good if not a little thick when all combined.
Anxious to hear any reviews.
Yeah...that's what I was talking about...apparently they must have had a huge messup with the price because I got one yesterday for 4.99 + 4.49 shipping....they've sent it and it looks like it's coming from the UK...anyhow...the 4.99 are gone and they've got only the 19.99 left. I'll give a review once I get the case...even if you undo the velcro, you can still to a material store (joanne fabrics, etc.) and get a longer velcro strap to hold it together. Thanks!
Wouldn't the rooCASE Slim work the same way?
http://goo.gl/V0RMe
roocase does not do the samee thing at all; this has a case for the tablet, then also for the docking port and then they finally work together somehow.

Looks like someone gave it 1 star on the Amazon product page. According to the reviewer it does not accommodate a docked tablet too well.

Looks like the reviewer may have a legit point. If you look at the sideways pictures, you can tell the tablet is not docked. The tablet hangs over the edge of the dock by almost an inch. Anybody who has the tablet with the dock knows that when it is closed, there is almost no overhang. I know I won't be buying it.
With that said, if anyone knows of a better case. Even one that would store the dock and tablet separately, I'd like to know about it.
ilgadets,
If you're interested in a sleeve case, I recommend this one:
http://www.overstock.com/Luggage-Bags/Wenger-Swiss-Gear-Legacy-10.2-inch-Tablet-iPad-Netbook-Slimcase/5804731/product.html
It has two zippered pockets, handles, a removable shoulder strap, and pockets on the front and back,
and it fits the Transformer and keyboard dock (separately) perfectly.
The handles can be slipped into the pockets, but that adds "bumps" that I didn't like.
I wanted the thinnest possible case, so I cut off the the handles and the triangular clips for the shoulder strap.
I think this is one of the best solutions for carrying the tablet and keyboard separately.
Regards,
Eric
FWIW - I grabbed one from best buy for an HP Mini 10 and it works perfectly. Fits very snug with the dock, and i feel safe carrying the tab around in it. Also has a zip pouch for a cleaning cloth, HDMI adapter, headphones, and other small items.
Was about $25 iirc... so a little bit more than what you're looking at here.

I have the exact same one, mines black and kinda has a 3D cube kinda pattern on the front. Anyways, I'm an employee, so mine only set me back $7. BBY employee discount is changing though, so that won't be the case in the future.
Anyways, case fits great, holds tab or tab+keyboard excellently.

Are you guys taking about a case or a carrying bag? Unless I'm mistaken, I believe the OP is talking about a folio type case for both the tablet and dock - kind of like this Tuff-Luv combo case.

The Tuff-Luv's are very nice and well made but also pricy. This might be a good folio alternative for cheaper one.

I almost ordered this, even though I have no idea when I'll actually get a prime, but Amazon has a few of the oddly-named 'Sleeve Cases" available. Here's the grey:

Awesome! Got one. Hopefully my wife actually bought me the Prime for xmas.
Got one here, too. Thanks!

I'm guessing we'll find out tomorrow when some of us will get it delivered.
How is that case? It looks cheap for $40.00
It has been said they do not. the stiff cover causing them to stay close to the tablet
Haven't been paying attention to the accessories section have you???
I got one... will be here tomorrow... ETA on my Prime: Jan. 9th
At least I'll have something to look at till then, and think about what it will look like on my future tablet.
purchased yesterday, chose free shipping and looks like it went out today and will be here friday!!!
I want to get one, but I want to use my $10 credit on it. Come on Amazon.
The cover has a hinge on it which keeps it closed. It snaps into the dock connectors then opens and closes similar to a laptop lid. I saw it on one of the reviews, but I have looked at so many videos I can't remember which one it was, but the guy liked it. I wonder how strong it is though.

Yeah but I like the CF look as well lol. I wanna see what it looks like on the Prime before I decide
Have been searching a long time for a slick, non-bulky case for TF201&dock. Today, I found one for the TF101 and am wondering if anyone has seen a similar one for the TF201.
The TF101 version can be found at:
hzhkkj[dot]com/product_show.asp?pid=1579&bigid=2&smallId=735
Would be the nicest case I have seen around!
Yes, I have one and it is very good. already use four days and was really mean something else. just did a search on ebay for sikai and prime and voila...
Edit: i don't use it with the dock... for me the dock is just for extra batery. I prefer a thin case like this without the leather
Just ordered the case, with free shipping from:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190638465174#ht_6644wt_1043
Will do a review once received.

I Love the look of this case.
So much, I want to order one myself.
Price looks great as well ($31)
Trying to register was a pain to start with.
Once that was done I received a very unclear activation email.
The so called English on the site itself and the email was real bad.
After that, I tried to go back to the website to order my goodies.
But all I get is a page loading error.
Finally I decided to quit .
I even feel uncertain now about the website at this moment.
I might (hope) to be wrong but at this moment I want to wait and see how your order ends.
Please update once you receive yours, because I really like the look,of it.
Good luck !!!
Yeah....that site isn't really good, just use the E-Bay site: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sikai-leath...840246?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2c64829436

Thanks a lot for your reply.
I ordered one right away.
23 euros and free shipping, seems a great deal !!!
Just got the case today and so far I am happy with it. I like the feel of the case and it does not add much weight since it has been made from a light weight material.
The cut-outs all line up and the quality is good. Just tried taking some photos and there doesn't seem like there is a problem (I know that the cut-out can sometimes affect the flash). What I also like about the case is that I can access the charge port easily.

Lol, I think I agree with you after a second look at it. I ended getting a separate Case Logic tablet bag and just received my Sikai case today. Tried it with the dock but it really does look ugly and it's not very functional since the flap covers part of the keyboard.

I just got my Sikai case it. It is pretty sharp looking!
For me the best feature is that it doesn't look like leather or fake leather. It has a nice minimalist modern appearance to it that doesn't feel pretentious but woudl work well in a corporate environment.
