i'm going to whine... so if you're in no mood for it- stop reading now...

why does a 39 USD case cost 95 USD in germany? (or 105 for israel?!?!)
I need a case for the device, and the one case that gives pockets and a workable solution is fast asleep selling to one (large and fat) market- the US
I've gone through 4 of the 9 resellers, it's like they dont even bother.
It's double and triple prices abroad- and if you dont like it- tough.
come on... the UK is inside of the EU, that will bring taxes down... and the people there even speak ENGLISH, so business wont be a total bummer...
How about a small distribution center in HK? global free shipping? (i'm sure dealextreme will stock your case, and sell a couple thousand of them)
sometimes i wish i'd work in the entertaiment retail
How to do it
Bought y RoosCase via Amazon.
Shipped to friend in USA.
He put it in the mail and 2 weeks later it is here.
It does double shipping but there is no customs on that kind of ithem.
I bought the minimalist case. Will post a review is a few days.
No pockets and less protection but only 6 oz to add to the weight.
Shofar
I got this one for the HP at Amazon, but it fits perfectly, has a pocket, and was inexpensive. Any chance a friend could get it for you and mail it?
HP WV594AA 10.2 Inch Mini Sleeve
And this one that has strap and pockets
STM Bags Jacket Large
What kind of case are you looking for?
I got a hardcover named "bulletproof coolbananas" from amazon.de.
Normally for Netbooks, but protects good with one pocket outside
and shoulderstrap.

I went to BB to see what accessories they had.
Can you say "Zero"?
Really.. Not one single item relating to the X10.
They should call it iBestiBuy. It's "i" whatever from wall to wall.
Any other sites I should check out ?
I am concerned about getting a skin as some are loose fitting and I'd like to see them in person.
I live in Michigan, USA.
Try Expansys or Amazon.
ebay is also a good place to look. I get my stuff from there.

Maybe Google?
Seriously - there is no universal place with best selection and prices both. I used to buy accessories at buy.com, amazon.com, ebay.com, some other virtually noname online sellers I found by Google search. Don't like online? No problem - you can try this model in some brick-and-mortar store with crazy prices. And buy it online. Anyway everything is "Made in China". The only problem - returning. That really sucks. But for now I was lucky. Look - once I bought a case for SE k790 in ebay store of one HK seller and it didn't fit. I wrote, since the description claimed this model for k790/800 and they answered that they'll send me another one for free - anything I like. I checked measurement of the phone and found a model that should fit. It was around 1/2 more expensive, but they sent it without any returns. I was impressed and always check them first. But now look like they are out of business - no website, no ebay store and a lot of negative feedbacks. So it is a little risky, but after some research it worth.
I know how you feel. Especially since they have the exclusive white x10 then it only makes sense that they carry x10 accessories. But of course, Sony Ericsson really isn't that well known over here, so what you'd find would be for Apple and...probably that's it. Joking aside, yeah, its a bummer. have you tried amazon though?

Apple's case perfectly fits my X10. I bought it around a year before X10 photos were leaked over the web. I love Apple - they are able to predict many new tends.
I mean belt's case or pouch or whatever marketing freaks name it, not skin.
By the way, try to find a difference (except price and pressed brandname LUXMO inside or outside) between some in one store:
$0.60 + $2.98 shipping - Apple Iphone 4gb 8gb 16gb 32gb
$0.33 + $2.98 shipping - just iPhone
$0.57 + $2.98 shipping - Verzion Motorola Droid A855
$1.69 + $2.98 shipping - Samsung BlackJack i607 or BlackJack 2 i617
$1.12 + $2.98 shipping - Motorola q9m Q9c Q Q9h
$2.80 + $2.98 shipping - Apple iPhone 1st & 2nd Generation including 2g 3g (4gb/8gb/16gb/32gb) (AT&T -ATT)
I like their notes about the internal memory most of all - it is really universal case from 4Gb up to 32Gb!!! Wanna case for another model - wait a minute - our representative put the sticker... errr... sorry - find a case specifically for your model. This is how online works.
I think you'll find exactly this model in regular store for from $10 up to $25. And try how it feels.
Up here in Canada the only place I'm ever able to find cases fir my x10 are at flea markets and sometimes at cellphone kiosks in the malls here.

As of this month I have purchased the following accessories.
2 car chargers from Radio Shack, the cheaper ones.
1 windshield holder from ebay seller in Hong Kong. It has a short bent arm. Not good with very steep slopes. Phone needs to be plugged in when used as GPS so limited positions with car charger. Blocks view in smaller cars. I would rather have the one with the flexible arm instead for more possibilities.
2 Belkin usb to micro retractable cords. Microcenter
1 soft silicone case totally covers the sides of phone save camera and speakers and projects out 1/8th inch from screen like bumper. It's nice but the phone could be any phone. EBAY
1 hard rubber snap-on case with cutouts for buttons, camera and speakers. Finish on mold edges is not good. EBAY

But I wish the dock was cheaper.
Case
O i'm down for the case I like that. Wish they had one line the ipad. I like my wife's case but it doesn't fit.
Which ipad case does she have?
I will have the first sample case tomorrow. UPS normally doesn't arrive till 5-6pm unfortunately.
Will post pictures as soon as I can!
They do have single piece lots as well at $89.47 at Aliexpress. The link is in the Top Products section at the bottom of the page in the link provided above.
Guys, I'm in China now, and I suspect the price is in CHINESE dollars.
You can find the same docks at taobao (chinese ebay type site), and they sell for 200 or 300 RMB, depending on seller. WHich is 30-40 USD I believe. 200 RMB is what I will spend on mine. As for cases, being in China suddenly has its advantages: I'll go to a fabric market to have a custom case made, from real leather I expect to pay no more than 200 RMB (a leather jacket is about 600+ RMB depending on what you want and how well you can negotiate...)
Yes, it's official price converted into U.S. dollars, not more than 45 dollars.
However, the delivery to over China no more than 12RMB, about 1.8 dollars. But delivery to the U.S. it takes about 35 dollars.
The same as the CASE..It's cost about 110RMB,real leather.

I agree and made another thread to continue the discussion since this is a Wired Dock thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10037541
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

Bummer.
Looks like another long wait.
I just checked again - all the rooCASEs and the MiniSuit one listed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377669 ship to Canada sans problem (Toronto area at least). No dice for the Verteks, Moko, or Poetic ones.
Waiting to see what else shows up myself before just grabbing whats available, though.

Yea, I can echo that statement, hah
I ordered this case off ebay. I dont even have the tablet yet but I wanted to be prepared.
case logic pls-9
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:

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.
Hi
I found a hardcase for my TPT which is normally used for netbooks,
so a little bit bigger, but with shoulder strap and one outside pocket.
(where I put the "disassembled" charger and my slim tablet stand in)
It was important for me that it can get it transported save and it does not crack immediately when knocked with the case to a table corner or similiar.
Do you know different or better ones?
The case:
coolbananas BulletProof 8.9-10.2 "

After returning two cases to T-Mobile, looking at the lame Incipio cases at ATT, looking at Amazon every day and almost pulling the trigger on a cheap enough Supcase, I finally scrolled thru all the crap on Ebay and ordered 3 cases for a grand total of 22 dollars, yes 20 dollars less than the cheapest case at T-Mobile or ATT. Can you believe the S-View is 65 dollars at Att online, 59.99 from Samsung and lucky for me back ordered or I would have wasted money lol. I'm sure one of these 3 cases will be a winner, a man can dream right?
I originally had 6 cases in my cart and then narrowed it down, I have a white Note 3 fyi, here are the links to the 3 finalists in case anyone likes my taste, it took me 2 hours to wade through pages of them. I only looked at sellers in the United States, only Free shipping and of course buy it now. Can you believe some guy was reselling 5 dollar Upcases from Amazon for 49.99 on Ebay? I doubt anyone is dumb enough to buy one, especially savvy Note 3 owners. Guess I'll be reviewing these 3 cases in a few days lol

The Caseology case could be found cheaper on Amazon and that S View case you bought will not work as stated by other users in the S View threads. The $65 cases are the only working S View cases as of this moment. If you can cancel that Caseology case, you should and buy it on Amazon. It's the same seller too.

The Caseology is the same price once you add the 3 dollar shipping charge on Amazon it becomes 7.99 as well.
I put in a cancel request for the S-View one, worst case he sends it and I don't like I can return it. The description does say it will turn off and on the screen and you can use clocks and music etc thru the window, I sent him a message saying if they don't work I want to cancel but he is 98% rated on Ebay big seller so I'm sure he won't want a bad review either way.

They put "Leather" and "Matte" in their title. That's what got me since on Amazon it's either matte or the leather version. I was thinking of just the leather case which is $5 shipped.
