Has anyone tried this for their G Tablet? There are two reviewers that said they bought it for their Gtab. One says its tight but works, and the other says it doesn't fit but the review isn't too credible.
I'm looking for a folio case (or whatever case that can act as a stand) that I can buy from Amazon since I am a prime member and need the case quickly. This case looks perfect if it does fit.
Don't own one, but looking at the pictures, I don't see how the Viewsonic would fit without extending past the actual 'book/cover' itself. The Gtablet is an inch wider and inch shorter than the Ipad.
I'm actually not that concerned if it hangs out a bit as long as its held in there still (which is looks like it could if material stretches enough). I think I'll stop by a best buy today with my G tab and try to fit it into some ipad cases to get a general idea.
While I am still waiting for the shipping mail from 1saleaday.com...
I kept looking for the case here and found these 2 the most people r buying.
Which one do u choose and...why ~
http://www.amazon.com/BLUREX-Leathe...9?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1322877887&sr=1-9
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005F7KQB6?ie=UTF8&force-full-site=1
I have the first of the two and love it. Got it for $9 on Ebay with free shipping
I am also waiting on my View from 1saleaday. And as far as the case I'm also going to buy the one from the first link (HHI). Its not real leather but that's no biggie for me. The BLUREX looks very good and a little more compact but it doesn't have portrait mode and I want to have that option.
I just bought the second one the other day... Should be arriving Thursday... I will post a review after I experiment with it...
I've had the Blurex since I received my View from 1SaleADay back in December. I'm usually not one for folio cases, but this one is fantastic. The fit is perfect, the quality is great, it looks nice, and it doesn't add a lot of bulk. It's just an all-around great case. The deciding factors for me were the size and the overwhelming amount of positive reviews in the forums here and on other sites.
The 1st, 360 style case, is poor quality in my opinion. Both are thin leather knockoff.
I would get a rubberized back like this:

And then an 8-9 inch sleeve like this:

Cases
I got my View from 1saleaday in December. (I just ordered 2 more from the recent sale for the kids)
I ordered 3 cases in december:
1) The 360 degree rotating case listed here
2) A case very similar to the Blurex except rather than fake leather it's a carbon fiber texture. http://www.amazon.com/BoxWave-Steal...7?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1327526675&sr=1-7
3) A rubberized plastic shell (like you'd get for a cell phone nearly identical to the one recommended a few posts back by jamus28)
For me.. I want something that adds as little bulk as possible, while protecting the unit including the screen. The perfect case for me would be identical to the one they make for the Kindle Fire here: http://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Lightw...1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1327527632&sr=1-1 But thats not an option for the View / Flyer.
So The 360 degree case (1): Well made, Solid Feel, But a bit unstable trying to stand the device up in portrait mode. It's top heavy and falls backward easy. The case is overall very good. It's less bulky than I thought it would be. I'm not at all disappointed.
The Carbon Fiber case (2): (similar to the blurex style) This is the case I settled on and use. It's the least bulky, well made, and offers superb protection. It does not rotate but that helps it be less bulky. I love this case and I'm very happy with it.
The Rubberized Shell (3): the lightest of the 3 but Not for me. It adds bulk as any case does, but it has no real screen protection. It is the most comfortable when using the device since there is no cover to fold back. It does not have a stand if you like to watch video on it though. I knew I'd dislike it when I got it, but it was cheap... so I gave it a shot. For some.. it might be the perfect case.
Thanks for all recommendation
I ordered Blurex and have prime shipping!
The sad thing is the estimated shipping for the view is next monday...
I know you already made your choice - but thought I would throw in my two cents anyway as I own both.
Both cases are very nice. Here are some of the differences:
Blurex - a little less bulky than 360. I like the pen holder on the bottom rather than side but since it is leather it does not hold the pen as well
360 - the "hole" in the back makes it a little easier to hang on to if you are walking around with it. As x51 mentioned, it's not that stable in portrait mode (but the blurex doesn't go into portrait at all as a stand). Pen holder on side is elastic and holds the pen much better.
I use the Blurex around the house and the 360 when on the job. Both are nice cases and fit well.
Hope this helps someone.

I got my "Shipped" email yesterday.. I'm expecting them to arrive Tuesday-ish
Though you've already ordered, I'll just add that I've owned both cases. Currently I use the blurex (earlier model without the pen carrier). The swivel case is a neat idea, but adds too much bulk, IMHO. I was especially annoyed by the ring on the back (part of the swivel mechanism) that sticks out about a quarter of an inch and makes the tablet look like it's hovering just off the table when you set it down.
I like my Case-Mate Versant ($16 from Case-Mate site). Had the 360 and returned it, the design was too flimsy and didn't feel solid/sturdy enough. Though the Versant doesn't offer portrait mode, I realize I don't really use docked portrait much so it doesn't matter much to me. Just throwing it out there as an option for you if you need to get an alternative case to the Blurex. By the way, the Boxwave (carbon fiber-esque) case looks cool too.

I have a two year old daughter. And i work in the Automotive industry. So i needed something that would look professional and take a little bit of a beating.
So my search began. I saw some Otterbox style cases, but a little more that i wanted to spend. I visited my local, very over priced, Best Buys and saw some cases that i like but were a little expensive.
So off to the internet i went. I wanted to stay away from Ebay because i know they are full of Chinese knockoffs. So i went to Amazon, which i know isn't much better but i feel their customer care more about feedback then Ebay shoppers. So i stumbled across this case http://amzn.to/x9xHtX. It's a black leather CaseCrown Portfolio case. 66 Reviews and 4 out of 5 starts. Sure there are a few more that are higher in the ratings but don't have as many. So I went with it.
[first thoughts]
It came in last night. i opened the pack and it had thin plastic cover and very generic label on it. and i thought oh great, this will be a piece of crap case. So i wrapped it around my Transformer and i must say i am very impressed with it. The fit is tight, it's not loose, doesn't slide around, and fits like a glove. No way this is a generic case. It wouldn't fit my parents Acer A500, it's too thick, and no way it would fit my friend's iPad. It's way to thin. The leather feels good, if it is faux leather. I cannot tell. on the inside of the case, where the binding on a book would be there is a little vlecro piece that keeps the TF in place while the cover is open. I'm sure it's standard on this style case, but just a nice little security feature that i like. The holes for the camera are nice and open, they don't give a tunneling effect to the pictures. The other nice little deal i noticed is the cover has magnets (don't ask me how they work, i'm not Mormon) that will keep the cover down when you are not using the device.
first impressions are "i'm very pleased, and would recommend".
In a few days, maybe on Monday, I'll post a follow up after a few days use, and let the newness wear off. Pictures will follow tonight as well.
I took my device out of my Caseen case in order to do my downgrade/root...yes I know I didn't need to take it out, but I did.
I forgot how light and nice it is to have such a thin device. It got me thinking that I might not want to use a case that often. What do you think?
I'm a kind of a no case guy, but since it is my favorite expensive toy I'm going to try to keep it in the case as much as possible. The good thing about cases like the one you have, is that it is wonderful to use when you are on a flat surface, no need to hold the tablet or break your neck looking straight down.
I think the answer is both. For home use, I prefer not to have it in a case, enjoy the tablet for what it is. If you plan on taking it on a trip or to work, then put it in a case for that extra protection.
I plan on getting one of the ones posted in another thread where it holds both tablet and dock but other than that, no. I would but it would be annoying having it on and off to use the dock
The best case is the keyboard dock
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
I just got the 300 and I'm loving it. I agree that the best case is the dock but it worries me that some people have posted about the screen getting cracked when docked. I wonder if this happens when you put the tab with the keyboard in a bag and pressure is applied to the screen. If you read the tf201 forums some users have attached rubber or silicone bumpers to the dock to spread the pressure along more points. As for me I'm going to add the silicone bumpers and leave it docked. My ideal case would be a snap on hard plastic case for the back of the tab and leave it docked so that the back is protected by the case and the screen by the dock. I have yet to see a snap on case for the 300
I'm thinking of buying the Roocase or the Poetic case and cutting off the case in half so I can then use the part that covers the back only and leave the tab docked. Not sure how it will look but its the only way I can think of getting what I want.
I don't like cases. I got a good bag to carry it around in. When it's in my hands I want it as light as possible. Ruins the comfort and functionality of having a tablet if you increase the weight with a case, IMO.
^^^^^yup
Il just get a carrying bag

No.. no case! This light, thin tablet placed in ugly thick case..
Agree with Raul69.atl, best case is dock and just take care of device)
The main reason I get the case is to use it as a kickstand for watching movies or if i using at a table or desk. but i got one thats fairly easy to take out, so if I'm carrying it around the house, I take it out.
I ended up just encasing mine with Armorsuit gear and carrying it around like that. I much prefer it without the case. I would like a stand though. Any suggestions for a stand?

Yeah, there were some screen cracking issues with the Prime but that was a fault of a bad weight and pressure distribution when docked. If you compare the two docks side-by-side, you can tell that ASUS redesigned the TF300's so as not to have that problem. and as for a case I love sleeves. exactly like those laptop sleeves that lots of people get, but in 10" size. thats what I recommend.

Case = Piece of mind for me since I am so clumsy. I also agree that it is good to use as a stand for movies and surfing.
I went back and fourth myself over this issue. What I ended up doing with my 7” HTC Evo View 4G tablet was to get a case that's just the plastic part of the 360° style case, without the big hole in the middle to rotate of course. It's lightweight yet protects the corners and back. I'm hoping that type of case will be available by the time my red TF gets here.

With case! It's a €400,- device and would hate to get it broke or lots of scratches on it. But depends which kind of case because you got really thick ones which I think dont hold as good. The thin ones I think are better.
A advantage of a case (not all of them) is that you can use it as a stand for the tablet.
If you want to use it without a case but want to store it safely, why not use a 10" sleeve.
I just use a sleeve. Its easiest, and unless I get an otterbox like case this thing is gonna break if I drop it anyways. I just use sleeves and padding for when its in my bag
I love how sleek my TF300 is and I tried a couple of different cases but did not like the bulk they added. I agree that the keyboard dock is the best solution for docking and I bought one of those sleeves from Amazon and use it when i have to carry it around.
i just purchased a moko case and let me tell you. when i was on a plane flying back home from NTC, i wish i had done so sooner. lol
I actually went a few days without a case when i first got my Pad....i usually dont use a case for any devices as i am usually VERY careful with them. however, the Pad almost seemed to thin and light without a case and i was always very scared of dropping it. day 1, walking from my work to my car, i had a death grip on the thing...lol
needless to say, i got a case (moko slim multi-angle one off amazon for $15...well worth the $$ IMO) and it has been great. Gives that extra protection when i want it, a great multi-angle stand for watching videos or normal use (placed it on my lap and browsed with it last night) and it is actually fairly thin and light still. even without it on the "stand" it is easier to hold due to the grooves on the back.
it's so nice i may never take it out of the case again....especially since i have Tile floors throughout my entire house....lol
Sure glad I had a case on mine when my 2 year old threw it straight down onto the hard wood floor the other day! It's a Moko case.
This is the case that I've been using for the past month, and for the price it sells for ($15), I am very satifisfied. It's called the Slate Series from Exact Cases. Haven't read much about their cases, but I like what I see so far!
What we have here is a folio type case with a textured pleather exterior, and microfiber material lining the inside of the case. The outside has a grippy, almost rubbery texture, and one thing is that it does get dusty easily, but nothing that a quick wipe of the cloth can't handle. The cover has a solid feel, slim enough to remain portable, but just thick enough to provide some screen protection in your laptop bag.
The main draw of the case is the great array of stand options. First off, the edge of the back shell has a nub which can sit on the three grooves on the inside of the cover, giving three quick stand angle for viewing the 12 inch display. For a more straight up viewing angle, I prefer using the other stand option by folding the cover back and tucking it behind the back shell. This stand is very sturdy and makes watching movies an absolute joy on the 12.2. This would also work as the typing stand by laying it down. The Sleep and Wake feature works as well, another perk.
But again, I just wanted to espouse on the quality you get for the money. Fully featured with a great feel in hand, At $15 with free shipping, this case does all I can ask for at its price. Take a long at my pictures in the link below (too large to link).
