Just thought I'd bump this thread for two things:
-- Apparently, since yesterday, the price on these has gone down to 9.99.
I should be upset upon realizing that just last week, I paid 14.98 for this, but for the second reason I alluded to earlier:
-- Up to August 26th, 2011, AYL has a promotion where you can get a FULL REFUND of your purchase price.
My package that arrived yesterday, came with a letter stating that if you give them a 5-star review and link them back through an email address they give for proof, as well as your order number, they'll give you a full refund (not including the shipping of $4.99). I followed the instructions on the letter.
I can attest to this myself that this is a real deal, since I got an official email from Amazon that they're processing a refund of this item as we speak.
Here's the link to the product: http://www.amazon.com/Quality-Leath...iewpoints=1&sortBy=bySubmissionDateDescending
You probably don't have to wonder why it has 5-star reviews across the board. My review is under the exact same username I'm using here.
FYI: It seems to actually really be a good product. I'm no leather expert, but it seems like genuine leather enough, and build quality is pretty good.

Now that you have it, what is your actual thoughts of the product? I was going to get one because of the 5 stars but since finding this out Im really interesting in finding a real review. I purchased case off of Amazon and im returning it because of the quality.
What do you think of the case? How do the wholes fit (the one I had didnt line up too well), how well does it function as a stand? (mine constantly tipped over). Any feedback is appreciated.

I like it. Although it doesn't have adjustable viewing angles, the main angle is good, at least for me. Also, if you allow your screen to rotate, you can use it in reverse for a very low angle...as long as the app you are using also rotates with the screen.
The leather, as I mentioned earlier, seems decent, and it has a nice suede interior lining.
All the holes line up perfectly for both the FFC and the light sensor, as well as for the camera in the back. On the sides, all of the buttons and ports are fully accessible, and it looks like they took care to not block the speaker grilles without compromising structural integrity. It also doesn't exude "cheap" in any sense. The stamped leather is all class, IMO.
All in all, well worth the previous 14.98 price, even with 4.99 shipping, and even more so at the 9.99 price. Not sure about the "59.99" price their product page is quoting as its original price though.
EDIT: Although I don't have a dock yet, it seems that the dock might work well with it, since I don't see anything that can keep you from plugging in the dock while the TF is in this folio. Also, one of the things I like is that I can actually use the charger at the bottom while it's being used as a stand.

Lol I included shipping for total cost but yeah this is a great case
shipping time for me has exceeded 8 days (5 business days) and it looks like usps won't be delivering it until tomorrow at the earliest. I'm used to waiting this long for stuff from china but going from CA to WA this is ridiculous. I guess I get what I pay for...
Weird. I ordered it last Saturday, and I received it this past Wednesday. I'm in Arizona.

Hello, i just found this item on deal extreme. It looks like the one from a previous post in this section, bought in singapore if i remember right, and it was brilliant!
I just ordered one, i will keep you advised when it arrives; it usually takes two weeks with this site... But shipping is free.

Is it just me, or has the DealExtreme web site been unavailable for the last few days?
DNS is unable to resolve the name "dealextreme.com", and when I try to access it by IP address, I just get a message "click here to enter site".
Can't help, no problems here...
From the looks of it this case would be better than most of the flip cases because it grips onto the beveled edges on the front, instead of putting material around the screen itself. On flip cases I've used it seems that they almost always interfere with getting to the edge of the screen (eg for scrolling, etc).
I just wonder how they can afford to sell these for only $3.48USD, and not charge for shipping. Has anyone dealt with dealextreme that could vouch for their customer service?

I have bought from DealExtreme a number of times. While the quality of the goods that they sell is not exactly top notch, the goods are always extremely good value for money (especially given that the price includes free worldwide postage) and they have always delivered exactly what I have ordered.
Thanks for the link, I ordered one...

Just reporting back to tell that I received this case. It seems ok for that kind of money, phone fits in nicely to the hard plastic part inside. Outside is black leather (fake of course ) with brown stitches and inside is black suede without any pockets, just plain... oh and there is a hole for the camera and a magnetic clip.
Damn, you got it before me
Hi everyone, I bought the G tablet for my son for Christmas and having been searching for accessories ever since. My persistence paid off. I emailed ViewSonic directly and called repeatedly until I finally got through to a legit person. I was advised on January 19th that accessories such as a docking station, cases, and other plug-ins are on the way. I was promised to have a docking station sent to me free of charge, so I'll let you know when that comes and I'll post some pictures. The timeline was vague, but he said within 4 weeks the accessories should start showing up at Office Depot and the other retailers selling the G tab. I'll keep everyone posted.

I'm curious. Did you send in the free dock rebate thingy with Sears or did they just offer you one because you were persistent? I would really like one and I can be quite persistent too.
That's great news - I bought a case from Staples that's meant for the Ipad supposedly that's just gotten a teensy bit too big for the gtab so having a nicely fit jacket would be helpful.
After three calls and 2 conversations with his secretary, the individual I talked with said he had overall responsibility for the Gtab. We talked about the many accessories and at the end of the call he offered the dock. It was from persistence.

What was said here? Can you elaborate?
Carrying cases, cases with keypads, and docking stations were mostly discussed. He kept coming back to the docking station saying it could either stand next to a desktop or alone on a desk. We also discussed the carrying cases, which he made it sound like a leather case because he indicated that it would be nice to take to meetings for professionals. He said many accessories will begin showing up at the retailers, but we really didn't go through a whole list. I'm just as anxious as everyone else to see what many accessories ends up being and the docking station when that arrives.

I hate to sound like a skeptic; however I have heard this same story from them since Thanksgiving and it is always the same time line given. While I would truly be happy if this was real, my advice would be to not get your hopes up too high.
There are G Tablet users on here scouring the web looking for alternatives that work for this tablet. There are also a plethora of new 10" tablets starting to hit the market which seem to have more accessory support than our G Tablets. Those accessories should work very nicely for our tablet and we will then have a variety of items to choose.
While I am a HUGE fan of this tablet (I own 2 of them); I have been very disappointed with Viewsonic and the very poor go to market strategy (or lack thereof) which was employed.
Misses on this tablet:
1: They did not have accessories ready to ship when tablet released
2: The ROM was at best half baked and disappointed EVERYONE; this caused something with great hardware to quickly accumulate a bad rep with little hope of recovery. Lets be honest... it has gotten pretty bad reviews!
3: Little to no marketing effort on the behalf of Viewsonic. (They just dumped it out there and no real fan fare was given. I would attribute that to the fact they knew the ROM was crap and did not want to attract too much attention).
4: No real effort on Viewsonic's part to really turn this situation around; oh yes they have made a few cosmetic changes to the ROM... but really folks... that is about it.
Hits on this tablet:
1: Excellent hardware
Champions:
The XDA Devs who took on the monumental task of making this tablet worth owning! The only reason I have two of these is because of all of the efforts and sharing being done by the XDA community as a whole. Viewsonic needs to finacially support these devs and give all of us an accessory of our choice or ship us an upgraded device (whatever they are going to replace this with in the future) due to the primary fact they we beta tested this device and were used as unwitting Guinna pigs by Viewsonic.
Again... don't hold your breath... you will surely turn blue and die before this happens.
I am very happy with this tablet and for what I wanted in a tablet this will serve me well for quite a while. Just remember when something is Bleeding Edge... it does mean YOU will bleed while trying to make the new technology work!
Just my two cents worth....
I guess we will collectively hold our breath...
Perhaps off topic but has anyone seen any sales numbers (units sold) for the gTablet? It probably wouldn't make economic sense to roll out a line of accessories if sales sucked. I did some research last week and didn't find anything. Plenty out there on competitors tablets though.

I'm guessing not so good seeing how several retailers returned all of their stock. The reviews were mostly negative or mixed at best. All of this was due to crap ROM it shipped with. The average consumer would much rather shell out the extra money for a different tablet instead of going through the trouble of flashing a custom ROM like us.

I agree...
The only thing holding this up is the HARDWARE. I'm currently looking to put a newer ROM on there than the one I put on after I discovered the monstrosity they had shipped it with..
A leather jacket would be great.

I ordered the dock from Merimobiles on the 17th and it arrived today on the 31st. Completely took me by surprise. I was trying to beat the Chinese New Years. I was expecting it in another few weeks frankly. Too bad Viewsonic didn't have a number of these in wait at the launch. Probably needed to rebrand. A sticker would have sufficed for me. Now to get back to testing it ....
Has anyone received a defective docking station? Mine will not charge the Tablet. I placed the tablet in the docking station and plugged the station in a wall outlet with the AC/DC convertor I got with the Tablet. The light on the tablet never came on and the tablet was never charged.
Also, there was something fairly heavy that was moving around inside the dock as you rotated or shifted it. I don't know if something was broken inside or it was just a weight used to make the dock more stable. It just didn't seem normal. When I contacted Merimobiles they seemed upset and said that no one had returned this unit and that it was a very well-made item.
Well, I'm returning it.

Consider yourself lucky. I ordered mine from Merimobiles on 12/29 and still have not received it. I got one reply from them after several attempts that the processing got delayed b/c of Xmas and that it didn't ship until 1/4. I finally got a tracking number and it says it shipped on 1/26. I'll spare you all the language that is going through my head for this company.
I like to see some accessories here in the US also. I’m a little leery about buying thing from overseas vendors. Either way I think we’ll be waiting a while for something to show up.
I emailed for an update on the accessories that are due out and the response "You will see accessories in stores March 1". Still holding my breath.

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.

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.

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 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.

Yup. Shows the $5 shipping earlier but changes to $24.99 shipping in cart. Not worth it IMO.

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"
http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/prod...spx?path=01bc42bce3cb207837454e115277bf6fen02
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.
I am shopping around for a case on my new phone before it arrives. I came across this case by Cimo which is $5.00 and looking at the images and description is seems like it is too good to be true what do you guys think? Can they be scamming? It has no reviews yet either so i am hesitant. Looks to have all the bells and whistles of the other $15-20 cases and i see no promo or anything it is straight off the bat $5.00.

I'd imagine that it'd be a safe bet. Amazon will intervene in the event that it's a scam. I am considering ordering it just for the hell of it myself. My thought on the low price....it may be a new product/design and they're trying to get it out there and into users hands hoping for further sales...
Eh hell, I just ordered it for fun to see how it goes....I'll let ya know how it goes.

I mean i know Amazon has our back but still you cant be too safe these days. I saw they have lot of reviews and popular models but it seemed so fishy to me that they would be selling something that offers this much quality for only $5.00 Spigen has similar cases for $15.00 and that makes you think twice. But thanks for the advice. I am thinking about getting the Turquoise which color did you order?

I did black, since that's the phone color I have
I think it might be a new model. Not uncommon to see a crazy deal for that kinda thing. Wouldn't be surprised to see the price go up to $12 or $15 in next few weeks....
If you think about it, Samsung (free GearVR and 6 games) and T-Mobile (free year Netflix) are doing the same to get the S7 units flowing out the door fast and furious.
I currently have clear TPU on it. I don't know why I always order them...I think they'll look good, then forget that they just end up looking cloudy with fingerprints haha.
I gotta say, if that turns out to be a nice case, thank you. I haven't had a chance to really dig through all the available accessories for this device just yet.
I also saw the case with this post looks very good for the price definately worth trying out. Lets see how the blue/gold combo turns out. Worst case you can return it Amazon is the best in the customer service business besides Costco that i know of and maybe Ebay sometimes with that money back guarantee.
Amazon all the way here for cust svc. Ebay takes 2 weeks before they'll step in if there's a problem. With Amazon, I had a mattress that I bought...didn't like it. They gave me a full refund and let me keep it. Refund processed same day as call. That's crazy good customer service.
I'm looking forward to this case.
here is another cheap case from amazon:

Actually this case is even cheaper free shipping and under $5 for a case of this quality. Im going to order this one as well. These deals are getting lower and lower every time a flagship is released.

Sweet! Then you can start a thread "Review of my $5 case collection"
I'm getting in on the freebie TechMatte glass screen protector offer.
Man this phone is becoming cheap to protect. Normally I've spent $30 or so to protect it. This time? Under $8.
Don't think there's anything wrong with this one. It's a safe bet. Worst case scenario is you have a dud $5 case.

None of the promo codes work tried 3 of them for their respective case all come back not a valid promo code
For the guys who wanted an update: I got my case its great feels really good and fits really snug i love it. Here is a review of the case someone made (not me) if you guys are wondering what it feels and looks like live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufTroV7bU8g
You still using this case? How's it holding up and does the bottom part come off easily? I'm wondering if it'll fall off when I'm pulling the phone out of my pocket.
