I am trying to find a case for my Gtablet that will allow me to prop it in portrait mode for reading, I am considering the swivel case for the Asus Transformer found here:
w-w-w.amazon.com/Asus-Case-Black-Transformer-Aurum/dp/B0058VYCZK/ref=sr_1_2?m=A2OZQWEINT2QE3&ie=UTF8&qid=1322989524&sr=1-2
and here

Sorry about the non clickable links, newb here
I believe I can make this case work, the dimensions seem fairly close, and I realize I will be modifying it for the port arrangement, etc.
Has anyone tried this case with their Gtablet?
Anyone know of a case that will swivel to portrait that is made for the Veiwsonic?
Thanks for the help and opinions

If you cannot find what you are looking for then try looking for Malata ZPad compatible products.

After 3 hours on a plane holding gtablet while watching movie I really feel need for case with standing support, any available?
There is an official one out of hong kong for the zpad.. or there have been a few people that have gotten cases they modded
I bought a stand a couple of years ago for reading paperback books. Works great for the G tab, especially in landscape orientation. It has spring loaded arms that keep the stand attached to the tablet. You can find it at Amazon, search Book Gem.
That's actually a pretty useful device! and cheap compared to the official dock...
Can someone post a link to the one that is designed for the zpad? Does it fit the Gtab pretty well?
I'm looking for a similar case-stand in one, similar to the leather Zpad case. Anywhere to buy it without the group buy? I wish more retailers would come out with something, or viewsonic themselves.
Ok so I took the plunge and ordered a "G" to replace my iPad... I know I'll be needing a SD card (obviously) and am wondering what brand and class the majority of you use. I'll be using mine for storing videos and music... possibly running a few apps off too. Anyone have any really cool cases they have found and would like to suggest? Any tips and or links would be greatly appreciated.
My list
A folding stand eBay link here
A nice case Amazon link here
Screen protector and rear skin Skinomi link here
Case with keyboard eBay link here
Game controller Link here

These are all great. A few alternates:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004JF9N1O/ref=oss_product - Same case with keyboard listed above, for about the same price, but through amazon. Also ships incredibly quickly (I got mine in 2 days from the date of purchase).
http://www.gotshadeonline.com/products-page/tablets/viewsonic-g-tablet/ - A much cheaper version of the carbon fiber vinyl back covers from Skinomi...also, made by an XDA member!
I would recommend going to a craft store and getting a dish stand. I got a wooden one that folds and it workz great for holding the tablet. Plus it under 9 dollars
Great list, I appreciate it... have any of you used that keyboard case? How is it on the battery? I would think that it would really shorten its life, but then again I know bluetoon really hits the iPads and my current android phone too. So maybe this would be better. What are your thoughts?

I have everything on the list I provided except for the Malata case. This usb keyboard case does the job. When you get it you may have to move the left tab down or remove it completely as it may block access to the usb port on your gTab. Some users have said that if you tell the seller you need the one for the gTab they may send you a case that already has the left tab moved down.
With that said, these cases shouts "CHEAP". It is made of shiny plastic pleather. The keyboard is also not coated with silicone so it can rub against the screen of your gTab and damage it. Finally, the case doesn't feel secure. It feels like the tablet is moving around a lot. Some users have added velcro to their gTabs and the case to hold it more securely. It does come in handy when you need to type a lot. It doesn't seem to draw the battery much at all.
As for wireless keyboards, some users have had success with wireless bluetooth and usb keyboards especially the ones that use a dongle plugged into the usb port.
With all the looking for cases and such, a lot of talk about this case for 'X' will fit or not fit. Does anyone know of an more popular brand that has the same dimensions as G-tab? It might make finding access. easier. I know the Kindle DX is close.

It is known that cases/covers for the DX will fit the G-Tablet, just don't get the ones that have the strip up one side that obscures some control.
The Malata Z-tablet is the (near) identical twin, but accessories for them are just as hard to find. There are also a handful of Chinese "custom" cases that are being sold (but stay in fairly short supply) just search this forum and you will find them.
I've seen a few Kindle DX posts that like it, but there seems some contention on how well it fits. I don't think I found one that fits that also has the stand. Yeah, the Malata case are a rare bird, and seem a bit more expensive. i will check for the custom ones...Thanks..
I think most 10 inch netbook cases should work. I bought the "HP - Mini Netbook Sleeve" from Best Buy, and it fits OK, not quite glove tight but good enough.
Try a new Targus iPad case?
I tried 10" netbook sleeves and they all seemed too roomy (not snug). I ended up getting a newly released (in Taiwan) Targus iPad soft case. A little snug but fits.

I was just wondering if anybody has yet to find a case that holds both the tablet and the dock??? Mainly one that is in two pieces, and actually attaches to both. Would love to not have to remove the tablet from the case when I remove it from the dock...
Any ideas/links???
i have this case, it holds both the tablet + dock really well, but you have to take it out to use it properly: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433622
btw: you posted in the wrong section ;-)
Is there any good case to use with the whole setup (tab + keyboard) that could ALSO be used as a stand for the tablet only?
You can find them if you look around.
I found this one on eBay in like 2 seconds:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Folio-L...?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item256d7e4fba
I believe there might be other, similar cases listed in the "Ultimate Transformer PRIME TF201 Accessory Guide" pinned to the top of the forum. I don't know how "good" they are as this isn't really my style of case, but hey generally aren't expensive.
Thanks. Of course I could do a search, but my intention was finding a case that someone actually had bought and had, preferably, good experiences with.
Here's a new case for tablet and dock. Looks kinda better than the rest I think
amazon.com/Transformer-Keyboard-BLACK-Protector-SecondShells/dp/B007A12R80/ref=sr_1_13?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1330591122&sr=1-13
If you are looking for reviews of cases you should really read the accessories guide posted at the top of the page. Most people posted reviews of the stuff they added to the list.

Thanks for the link. I agree that case looks better then the other ones I was looking at. Just ordered for my prime can't wait to try it out.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but from the pictures of the SecondShells case linked above doesn't look like you can separate the covers to have a stand alone case for the undocked tablet. Just wondering.
