Anyone purchased one of these yet? Are they good for the HTC Hero ???
Just bought one mate, got it today and fantastic! Works perfectly. Solid base and use it with the charger plugged in!
Buy one you won't regret it!

£15? It's a bit expensive isn't it?

Well worth it considering how much the other genuine HTC desktops stands are. I just like the way it sticks! haha
Might order one, it's only £15.00 worth it
Do it you won't regret it.
The stand is metal and looks solid and feels solid.
The green sticky "sanitory style pad" is good too......
Very happy with mine, ordered in the afternoon arrived the next day!

Ordered one but have to wait till they are back in stock so won't get it delivered till next week now sometime but worth the wait.
im finding getting it sticky again a bit of a pain.
Instructions say just run under water and let dry naturally... hmmm
It's arrived

Review
When it arrived I checked out the packaging and found that it was spot on, instuctions were brilliant. Plenty of information about the product on the box and well designed. I removed the contents from the box and had to cut the tie wraps keeping it in place and found the base is a solid black structure. I peeled back the clear protective film from the stickyness pad and I attached my phone but never had to press on it. When it attached it felt like a magnet but this thing is so sticky its crazy! This little device is very stable, I understand now, how it would hold an ipad!!!
I did some rotating of the device and the ball joint feels very stable, rotates freely with one hand. Very easy to type on! Can't really say much more but if there are any questions feel free to ask.

You recieve it in a nice clean rectangle box with the stand & instructions.

Have u sorted this?
Does anyone know if this has any effect to the finish of the battery door on the hero? I wonder if after a while it may cause it to disintergrate? (But that could be easily sorted by just putting it in a case anyways I guess)

I havn't got to the stage of needing to do this yet awaiting the time where I have to wet it.
Hey guys, some updates please.
Do you still like it ?
hello guys! As I go through my research on getting a case that is just meant for my g-tab, finally after a long browsing and searching, it is already available in Amazon! (mostly good for U.S. consumers)
Attached are the pics which I uploaded for you guys to see. Also, it looks like it just came out so there's no reviews yet or maybe I'll be the first one who will write the review!
Will give this a try in Amazon.

LOL! I hate that snow! See that's the thing, I am a bit skeptical doing online purchases outside US... not that I don't trust them but might as well wait till it's available in US market, plus on top of that is you can track them but I hope u'll get yours on time! Give an update if it works well on you.

Purchase two from China back in December. Works perfectly.
How well does this hold the GTab? Has it ever fallen out on you?

Funny they are apparently relocating the tab just like everyone has been doing here. So you pay $10 extra to get someone to mess up with your brand new case with an exacto knife and hot glue
Hope they pre-modded some in advance and you guy don't need to wait for them to get it all the way from china do the mod and then pass it your way.
thats true...at least if I'm not satisfied I can return it easily to Amazon.
I also got the skinomi skin protector so if this case will scratch my screen,I'll be able to tell. I also hope it will hold the tablet well enough.

Did it get any scratches in ur screen? Does it holds the tab ok?
Thanks for the heads-up on this. I thought about ordering one from ebay, but Amazon is so much easier to deal with, and Florida is soooo much closer than China!
Any have any experiences working the keyboard on this case?
Wenger case
Bought a protective soft carrying case at Best Buy that fits perfectly - it's a Wenger (has the red cross logo). Just took my G Tab in and experimented till I found the right fit. http://www.wengerna.com/search/results.php
Great for travel, but sounds like the Amazon deal may be better.
Purchased the one on Amazon. Ordered Friday and received Monday. Works as advertised. Tab moved from blocking USB. Patch looks great and well done. USB cable more than long enough. This is a WINNER!!!

I got mine today, keyboard works okay. Now I can be more productive typing on my G-tab... wish it comes with a mouse though but either way I'm satisfied, the price is okay for this case with a keyboard, USB and a stick.

This case holds the G-tab well. It has the magnetic snap so it won't fall on you. Got mine today, Im satisified with it. Keyboard works too.
here's a quick review i wrote up for androidforums.
-nice material, well made
-keyboard works flawlessly with VEGAn (i didn't even get a prompt, just plug and play)
-keyboard functions will run android commands (i.e. windows button = android menu button)
-stand holds it at a great angle for viewing (this is a must, especially with our screens)
-does not cover any accessory ports (micro/mini USB, headphones, charger) or buttons (power, volume, etc.)
-DOES cover part of left side speaker and all of right side speaker (although you can still hear them)
-no plastic bracket to hold top of tablet (uses the magnetic closing strap to keep it in while upside down which concerns me slightly, although the magnet is fairly strong)
-included stylus does not work (duh)
all in all, i would certainly recommend this case. i am pretty sure that the only comparable ones out for the g-tab right now are $10-15 more than i paid through amazon, do not include a keyboard, and ship from China.
i have much better pics than the ones on Amazon, but i can't post them yet. [email protected] newbie mode!

Received it today! (17th of January to the 2nd) Looks good, keyboard works, modified for the Gtablet (http://witglobal.com/goods-2286-10i...for+Viewsonic+Gtablet+10+-+Free+Shipping.html) so the tablet slides into case from right to left. The left support covers the mini-USB but the USB port is available. Keypad works fine. Case sits a little too upright but I can deal. For $25 delivered it works pretty well. i also received my suction cup holder (http://witglobal.com/goods-2005-Car...nic+Gtablet+10+Car+holder+-Free+Shipping.html) and it is a little less impressive. Currently suctioned to my desk. The arms cradle the unit securely but stick out about 1 inch beyond the face. I will probably put a little velcro to secure it a little better. Not overly happy about the fit but for $20 I might be able to modify it to work. It does swivel nicely which helps for viewing angles.
These along with the dock I received, I think I have all the accessories with the exception of an HDMI cable.

So this is the same case from witglobal but $10 more?
correct me if I am wrong but the case witglobal looks to good to go with no modding needed now right?
Thanks for the help

Amazon case
Looks really good, BUT Amazon now says on-order, unknown when back in stock. I am very new to the gtab and still using as it came from the box, a little afraid to try and do to much to it. May just wait for honeycomb.
My wife and I teamed up and made a leather case for my G-Tablet. Turned out pretty good. Used an old second-hand leather jacket that was given to me years ago for free that I never wore, a book from work that somebody was throwing away and cut it up for the covers, and a little elastic we had laying around. We had enough leather from the old jacket to make two cases actually, and I am finishing the second one. I used a downsized 3 ring binder for the second one and it will be nice also. Here are some pics of the first one...
Wow, that looks really, really good. I'd buy that if it was available lol.
Nice work, looks classy.
Looks good
Thats a good idea. Nice
Thanks for the comments! It is holding up well with daily use. Her idea to put the seam across there. People see me carrying it now and have been asking me "Is that iPad?" Then I say what it is and open the case...which always seams to lead to people having no clue that there were other viable tablets out there. Then I show em the speed and interface and tell them the differences, and they are usually wondering why iPads cost so much more... BTW - I sold my new 4th gen iPod touch to buy the G-tablet and have not regreted it
Good job!

Love this part
Great Leather case too!
Very impressive, I just wish I was a better tailor. How many hours did it take you for each?
Wow, that is very nice. You guys got skills! Maybe beter then my nunchuck skills...
Great Job. You should look to mass produce it. I would get one too.
Looks nice
Wow, I had to resurrect this thread. That case looks super cool. I'm sure you don't have a lot of time on your hands, but would you mind giving me/us a brief Tutorial on how to make one? I would really love to try it out.
Thanks,
Scott
Now that's some Suzy Homemaker gangsta sh*t right there! LOL
I have trouble sewing a button onto my shirt. Nothing but props.
That is so awsome! Not only do you have a personalized cover you can be proud of, but you reused something that were otherwise useless. Its green and classy!
how much leather do you think you used?
I wonder if he sold his tablet. No responce yet :-(
Here is my review of the CLIP case. Just got it last night and so far I love it. Tablet fits very snug into the Clips, actually had a difficult time getting it into tabs. The stand function is great. I had been looking for the built in stand function ever since I got my tab. I got the white one since the black one was out of stock, but didn't really care about the color, although the white sort of looks like my uncles shoes down in Florida. No offense it2steve. The one tab does block the USB/sdcard slot, but I don't really use either very much so no biggie for me. The synthetic leather also had a very strong smell, but I imagine that will go away over time. Overall a very good product, will have to see how it stand up over time, and I will report back with any problems that do arise. Nice job it2steve.

Very. It pretty much filled up my office and bedroom. I'm happy to report that it's pretty much unnoticeable after 4 days unless you're, like, 3 inches away from it. So, uh, stay away if you're extremely far-sighted.
Hoping to grab a black one today...
but if someone is interested in swapping out for the white one, I would be interested in seeing it....of course if you live around DC it would be easier.
Do you have a link I can check out? I definitely need a case for my tablet. Also, did you get a plastic screen cover. If so, where did you get it?
So how long did it take you guys to get your stuff from Steve? I'm hoping to snag a Clip, but I will be on a trip from the 11th to the 15th, and I was hoping to get it for that.
CLIP just came in stock, I got a black one =D
My was delivered within 3 days of ordering. Excellent service from a delivery perspective.

Awesome, thanks.
Just placed my order for two clips, in black. Looking forward to having cases for my tab's so soon after they arrive (should get my 2 tabs tomorrow, and the cases next week!).
I really like the way it looks but i dont like that it is not leather and for $48 well? ???
Black CLIP on its way to my house as well...
I think I am all accessoried out. My wife is going to kill me when everything starts arriving. TAB coming today...then the screen protector...then the dock and charger from Steve...now the CLIP...and then the 16 GB MicroSD card.
Now if I can only get Vegan loaded without bricking the thing. :/
Grab the M1 then...cheaper price. Personally, I thought the CLIP looked easier to put on and off without covering the whole TAB. No one else I know has a TAB so I won't have any buyers remorse. I won't know what I am missing.

I have the white one and, while I may not be a leather connoisseur (hmm, that doesn't sound right http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZr8bbKxYrE ), I do know cheap when I see it, and this definitely does not look or feel cheap. I think it's mostly due to the fact that it has that leather texture and it's not that shiny, puffy, padded type faux leather that you see on a lot of cases or folios.
IMHO, it's worth the money, especially seeing how many awful (and less useful) cases are out there for as much money.
Oh, and it only took 4 days to receive, I think, and Steve seems like a very good guy and responds to emails very quickly.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend one.

It's worth it. And if for whatever reason you decide after you receive it that you really don't like it (I can't believe you would since this case is awesome) you can always sell it on eBay.
Im reading here about many cqses but I just cant find the best. I need a case that lets every port open, looks nice , has multyangles and that it doesnt cost a lot. I need it as soon as posible becuse my tablet is hlme and its really hard to hold it for 3 hours in my hands Thank you.

Still wanting on a general consensus as well...I guess the "official case isn't getting good reviews...
Thank you all on your suggestions -.-. Anyway I think I will go fora microfibre case from amazon.
Here's a nice leather one for $19.95
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110709890057&hlp=false
IMO - Check out the rooCASE on Amazon if you want a multi-angle style. From what I can tell, it is the "Best" in terms of quality. There are a few other multi-angle cases out there such as what you find on eBay but they do not appear to be made as well. JMO but the ACase for example just looks really cheap in comparison.
I've ordered the roo case as well but it's taking foooooooorever to get here.
I think you might like this one. It has a lot of space, and it can actually detach if you don't want to hold on to the whole case while using it. This company gave me a free stylus since I ordered one of their cases. I love the black but if you want another color, then I think they have a brown too.
Hope this helps.

How do you like the Amazon case you linked to? I have been considering that exact one. What is your opinion? How sturdy is it? Is the rotary/detach option really useful? Debating between this an a standard leather case because seems more durable/protective but doesn't offer rotary feature or detaching case...
Thanks.

Thanks for that recommendation. Looks like it kinda gives you a tablet sleeve too, built in.
I don't use portrait mode very much, but the ability to detach is a huge plus. Is it possible to fold the flap all the way back, so you have the case still attached, but use the tablet as a handheld?
From the picture, it looks like it attaches to the case via a button...is that secure? I've seen others that use two velcro disks...those seem more secure.
I just purchased that one last night. I'll come back and share my thoughts once I receive it around early next week.
Edit: I got the brown one
