Ok folks.. I have been looking for a back cover for my gtablet and I found one at NewEgg. It comes in both Black and Clear... for those of you that are interested its a polycarbinate material.... And is only 13.00, its suppose to have all the right cut outs and such....
The Company name is GreatShield Guardian Series Slim-Fit PolyCarbonate Hard Case for ViewSonic gTablet 10.1 Multi-Touchscreen Tablet
Found the same on buy.com for $10.95
I opted for a case with keyboard. Here :- http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004JF9N1O/ref=oh_o01_s00_i00_details
The case is hard leather the keyboard and stand are a bonus, I figured it may come it useful to have a keyboard close by. If you need a keyboard it's worth a little extra.
Why not to electroniccrap.com have a look.. There are many toies for Gtablet..
Did you buy this greatshield case? Thoughts?

Just ordered mine today through Amazon as I wanted to get something else so I was able to get free shipping. Now just need to sit and wait for it..stated for delivery sometime next week. I'll post back with my thoughts.
Recieved this item.
Yes I did use GreatShield, I wanted it in black and it was only offered in clear thru Newegg. So I went to the Greatshield site and ordered in in black. And it arrived 5 days later, via USPS.
Works like a charm, all the cut outs are correct. NO shape edges and it pops right on. It was worth the wait and the price.
Well the Greatshield back cover arrived today. First impression wasn't what I was expecting...I was thinking it was more like the material like those Cruzerlite covers are made of for phones. This is actually just hard plastic with a painted black soft touch paint on it, kind of like the soft touch plastics found in many cars. Actually VZW sells sliding belt holsters which are pretty much the same concept as this cover. Either way its another layer on the back of the tablet that adds a little bit more thickness which I actually don't mind plus the soft touch paint gives it more grip.
All ports and physical buttons are exposed which is great but the only thing which could bother some is access to the micro sdcard slot/USB port cover is a little difficult. You will have to peel the back cover off slightly to get it opened if you access that slot and port. Oh getting this thing off is kind of a pain since the tablet is a little bigger than a phone. I find sitting on the couch while trying to get the cover off is better just incase things go flying.
Anyways on to the pictures (sorry for the blurry pictures, these were taken with my Droid X):

The extra grip must be nice.
I always worry when I one hand mine that it is going to slip out of my hands since it's kind of slick.

I am thinking of getting myself a custom C7 easecase: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/C7-EASECASE-C...34.c0.m14.l1262&_trkparms=|301:0|293:3|294:30
There is so much choice though on the types of leather and lining and I do not know what to go for.
Its between a black leather outer, or a zebra type outer and a red or white inner plus I would like to have a different colour of stitching to add a bit more interest to it.
Does anyone else with an easecase feel theirs looks particularly special? I would love to hear from you. I really want to have something that my HD can feel beautiful in.
Edit: One thing I need to be able to do is listen to music with the HD in the case and also be able to fit it in my pocket easily.
i just ordered one earlier today along with the Brando screen protector
(my birthday tomorrow )
Went for the A5 with a one magnet clip over the top.
Figured a single pouch would be the thinnest option. The more layers of leather there are, the thicker it'll be...
although i liked the blue i thought it'd get scuffed and lose colour too quickly.

so i went for the
EM Cowhide Black 06 outer
blue microfiber inner
and blue stitching...
you'll hardly see the blue, so it'll be a nice flash of colour when i take it out of the pouch.
can't wait to see the results
Thanks for the post. I have decided against a pouch type because one of the reasons for ditching the standard pouch is I have to pull my phone out all the time.
I think I am going to order:
EM cowhide black 04 (it's all black in real life)
Microfiber suede red
Red stitching and they will also customize it so that there is a USB cut-out in the bottom like they have on their case for the Diamond II. Oh and of course it will be initialled. I haven't ordered this though, I am tempted by white stitching but I think in my sweaty pockets it would lose its colour too fast.
i was very tempted by that one.
and black&red is a good combination too...
i like the idea of being able to use the HD in it's case, but i keep mine in my pocket and thought that model would be a little too fat to fit comfortably without looking like i'm carrying a small book.
Plus i thought the flap might tickle the side of my face when it's hanging open and i'm on the phone
i like the pouch idea, but the one that came with the HD is too flimsy and comes off when i pull the phone out of my pocket, and folds over itself.
the case/pouch should be with me in 3-5 days... will post pics and review when it arrives
(typically the day after ordering it, eBay sends me some money off vouchers to use on my next transaction!! )
Last week I ordered this case for $3,48. Received it today and I think it's great! The HD clicks in perfectly and the case itself looks a lot more expensive than it is actually. It has been sewn with brown thread which gives it a little more 'hip' effect. The case has a magnetic lock and it has been finished pretty well, made by synthetic leather.
All buttons and stylus are still available, except for the headphone jacket.
Only thing is that when you are calling with the case on, it looks like you're calling with a very very big clamshell phone

I have bought the Emily Fashion case - they are fantastic - less then £2 delivered from Hong Kong - arrived in 4 days with a free (if a tad crappy) screen protector. I cant fault the case it has a slightly rubberised feel and fits perfectly. I find all the leather case solutions a bit bulky this is much more minimalist whilst still looking good and protecting the sides and bottom of the phone from those annoying chips and scratches
yes i already received the emily case and it is great. Everyone loves the green color :d
Is emily case made from rubber material that attract dust? I have a rubber case. I have to remove and clean the case regularly. Even so, small scratches can be seen on the sides of the HD.
Hi All. Other than the link posted at the start, does anyone know where to get these or what to search for? I was hoping to find a white one. Searched all combo's of Emily Fashion Case and HTC Touch HD and got nowhere except back here!
Cheers
Dez
p.s. anyone looking to buy a white case, DO NOT get a noreve ivory leather case. The white leather one looks white. The white ivory one is a dull grey. Boo. Got a refund tho...
Can anyone explain how flimsy/hard the flexishield is?
Im trying to find a case like this for the hero
ok well i cant find a link anywhere lol but my friend has it for his iphone. It was a rubberyish texture but it was a hard case, two pieces that slid over the phone (one top down, and the other piece bottom up).
anyone know of a case like this for the hero?
I'm using a rubbber casing its not that very thick and you have a good grip, a friend if mine had also a hard case for his iphone but it got very quick dirty and now he isn't using it. i used hard case on my xperia(still using) but if i comapere i like the rubber on.
you can find it on ebay and its not that exepsive i paid total 5 euro and thats very cheap. for the front i will suggest invicible shield. but i don't use anything for the front.
The one I bought for my Hero was a clear gel protector case that wraps around the case. It is not silicon but is flexible and waaaaaaay tougher than silicon. I dropped my phone by accident from about 5 feet onto concrete and it just bounce around without any damage at all. I got it off of ebay for like 5 bucks shipped. Just remember to get the gel and not silicon.
I bought from ebay (seller ID: sak.gaming) 2x FlexiShield. Shipped last 17th to my place in Malaysia. Bought it mainly because of favorable reviews I read from some sites
My vote goes to gel cases also. Cheap, durable and not as ugly as the silicone ones...
Hmm ok and what is the flexi shield like?

that was the one that i ought and i must say i like it so much. its really great
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/blog/2009/07/cases-for-the-htc-hero/
Lots of cases now.
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/cat/ToughGuard.htm?phone=HTC,Hero
sounds like the one you want
Oh and +1 for the flexi-shield
My clear flexishield is starting to get really dirty (quite noticeably). It's a great case and all but I tried cleaning it a number of times and it's still quite dirty. Rocking no case at the moment and no screen protector - hopefully some more third-party manufacturers churn out some more cases! (if only Incase weren't only dedicated to manufacturing accessories for Apple products - love their cases!)
Color HTC Hero
Do you have a black or white HTC Hero? Because I think the dirt wouldn't show as bad on a black HTC Hero, right?
White Hero. I haven't got any dirt on it either.. The case is the only thing that got dirty and I can't be bothered constantly cleaning the case.
I found this site, but i don't know about the quality of the products they are selling or is this site safe for online buying.

Well, i kinda went on a case craze in the last couple days..
purchsed 3 different sets from amazon, and one from popcase, and one from BB today..
so here is the BB case. its got a nice soft rubber feel to it. case fits snug and does the job really well. downside its $$ compared to the others. 30+ bucks..
I am waiting for the 3 dollar amazon cases to arrive. will make a final decision then.. but for now, im really liking this case!!!
another thing to mention, this case fits in the official car dock sold @ sprint retail stores.(i know bc i have one)

i have this but with no kickstand ... only thing i have bad to say about it is the case its self needed some type of texture its really smooth and slick i have just about dropped my phone a few times cause the case is so slippery
have a link for that case w/kickstand?
Have the non-kick stand version of this case. Dropped my phone about 3 feet getting out of my car the other day and it saved the phone. No issues I can tell (knock on wood)
This is the one that I went with (without kickstand) as well. I tried a bunch of different cases, and I ended up sticking with this one (but mine is Sapphire Blue).
I haven't dropped it yet, but I really like this style of case. I had the Seidio Surface case on my old EVO since I got it.
Unfortunately once you take that case off and put it back on you will notice how loose it feels.

Yep, the top half is loose. It is rather annoying because you will start to notice it anytime you pick it up.
As a result I will be returning my surface. I love the case and holister, but for $35 dollars it should loosen up like it does. I purchased a TPU case to hold me over tell the offical HTC kickstand case comes out.
I'm not a fan of cases, but I have this same case on my EVO3D. I wish the kickstand flipped out from the other side so I could charge while it was standing up. I didn't know it fit with the factory car dock, maybe I will pick one of those up. I haven't dropped my phone yet, but I think it would protect it pretty. I like the matte finish to the case too.

I have heard that it does indeed fit with the car dock (at least the igrip sprint sells)
Go try it out, at the sprint stores they will let you unbox the dock and give it a feel.
Hey, I bought a Slickwrap a very long time ago during a promo but never applied it. I'm getting bored of the Midnight Blue back. How slippery it is also plays a role.
Anyway, I've heard that removing the original back and directly applying the leather skin is suboptimal. Consider the picture below/attached. I heard that the holes in the chassis result in noticeable depressions on the surface of the skin. Slickwraps used to sell a very thin back that provided rigidity underneath that soft leather. Does anyone know of a good alternative? I considered getting another skin, but I'm not confident that would provide enough rigidity.
The reason I wouldn't apply it directly to the stock back is because then the device would be too thick to fit in my Diztronic or Ringke Slim.

I've used all of the Natural line of wraps at slickwraps at one point or another on my N6. I was lucky to have purchased the plastic "replacement" back they sold optionally then.
I've seen others suggest that applying a thicker vinyl skin helps but if I were you I'd look into buying a 8x11 sheet of thin plastic from one of several places online. There is a thread on XDA with links but a quick Google search would net several sources I'm betting. Your correct in not applying it directly to the device's mid frame, it will show every indentation and lump and look horrible.

Hi m8, I am currently running a dbrand skin and in the past I also tried slickwrap one and they fit very nicely inside a case. I have distronic, CaseMate and Spigen and I wont interfere.
The tough indents to hide are the two large ones on the left and right about an inch from the bottom. I cut out (pretty precisely), and placed two pieces of paper the exact shape of the cutaways and it worked for me.
Maybe you could buy the adhesive alone, and try to get some back protector films, just like the ones for screen. and then apply slickwrap on it.
Another thing to watch out for on the real leather slickwraps is the color coming off! I bought a black one and , while it did look nice for awhile, the black color came off on my microsuction wireless charger, and every time I wiped it clean with nothing but a water-dampened cloth. Pity, it looked so nice at the start.
My copy is on its way as well. My thought was to maybe use an old glass screen protector. Would this work or is the curve of the back too much?
