I got tired of waiting for Seidio to come out with a Super Slim Hybrid case similar to the one for the apple iPhone ... you know the case that is crystal on the front side and rubberized on the back found here Seidio Online so I started searching on eBay of course and found this Rubber Crystal Case here on ebay.
Anyone tried it or wants to be the guinea pig?
In addition, what I found really cool was the retractable USB car charger found on eBay as well found here. It's really brilliant since I hate chords and what's an added bonus is that it's a USB charger so my other devices can be charged as well. Hope the quality is there since I've found cheaply made retractable's sometimes have bad spring mechanism's so that it doesn't retract any longer.
Anyone want to try this out too? I might not wait but thought I'd put it out there.
Seidio appears to sell accessories only for phones that have US carriers. Just in case though, I sent them an email and here's their response:

anybody know where can i find a similar product and put my name on it, but cheaper...
anybody know something like this?
(I would like one for HTC Prophet to...)
Great Case
I purchased the horizontal belt mount version last month from the same manufacturer. Service and build quality was great. Received in 8 days. Considering this is manufactured in China doubt you will be able to find a custom made case like this for a lower price.
Leather case
Woooww!!!
These things kick ass!!! Brought myself the A1 straight away!
30 euros is very acceptable for this kind of custom made quality stuff!!
Thanks for posting this!! Very pleased with it!
Thnks!!!
Floris!
I've ordered an A1 too.
Think these prices are reasonable, especially considering the customisation options...
Hope it looks as slick as in the pictures
well i will buy the E4 version, i asked if the can put more card holders, and the answer was YES! if anybody have more things that is good to include in the case post it here, something that I forgot to be usefull...
Received mine and I am very very impressed.
Totally customised case to you spec with choice of cover, internal lining, clasp mechanism, belt loop and case design.
In fact I've ordered an alternative design, before the next new HTCs come out and they stop supporting our lovely HD's.
And if you ask nicely, the fella who controls the ebay account.. He can change even the colour of the stitching.
I ordered a case from him, and asked if I could have white or grey stitching, and he said yes.. Any colour..
I went with grey..
Recieved my case today..
No extra customs charges for delivery to uk. Well packaged, in a lovely gift box, and cloth pouch..
and the case................
Is simply STUNNING..
I recommend totally this guy for the cases, they are great. Excellent quality. made specially for this HD, customisable..
Go get one now..
easecase
I ordered a D2 case today, with extra holes for the usb charger and a hole for the headphone.
Will let you know how good it is made.
Communications with the guy in China is excellent.
Sounds good, can anyone make a picture of these? And how can i find more of these on ebay?

for now i only found this one on ebay. (custom made)
On ebay
Search for: "easecase touch hd" - I've just ordered my second one of these (an A2) to go with my D3 which is very protective but a little fat for a suit jacket.
The build quality is amazing and the price is justified. I also asked for a customisation and was entirely accommodated.
I cannot recommend these highly enough, but can't post pictures from here, although the eBay postings do have a lot of accompanying imagery.
Wow.
I had another thread discussing the E5 model of the case (one that resembles a wallet) and I had been holding off on buying one until my 'guinea pig'... er, I mean until I heard back from another member who was also ordering that case.
But the sheer number of positive comments on here have made up my mind.
Also, it sounds like the seller is extremely helpful, so I'm sure he'll be able to help with any questions I might have.
i bought a b1 model~and itz really good, i have a simliar wallet from GG Armani~~ what i can tell is the easecase is compareble with the armani's work~~however, i have been using the wallet for 4 yrs though~~
Hi everyone, I bought the G tablet for my son for Christmas and having been searching for accessories ever since. My persistence paid off. I emailed ViewSonic directly and called repeatedly until I finally got through to a legit person. I was advised on January 19th that accessories such as a docking station, cases, and other plug-ins are on the way. I was promised to have a docking station sent to me free of charge, so I'll let you know when that comes and I'll post some pictures. The timeline was vague, but he said within 4 weeks the accessories should start showing up at Office Depot and the other retailers selling the G tab. I'll keep everyone posted.

That would be so nice, as long as it's a good price point I welcome accessories here in the states and 'readily' available.
I hope this holds up!
... I'm really tired of shipping stuff.

I'm curious. Did you send in the free dock rebate thingy with Sears or did they just offer you one because you were persistent? I would really like one and I can be quite persistent too.
That's great news - I bought a case from Staples that's meant for the Ipad supposedly that's just gotten a teensy bit too big for the gtab so having a nicely fit jacket would be helpful.
After three calls and 2 conversations with his secretary, the individual I talked with said he had overall responsibility for the Gtab. We talked about the many accessories and at the end of the call he offered the dock. It was from persistence.

What was said here? Can you elaborate?
Carrying cases, cases with keypads, and docking stations were mostly discussed. He kept coming back to the docking station saying it could either stand next to a desktop or alone on a desk. We also discussed the carrying cases, which he made it sound like a leather case because he indicated that it would be nice to take to meetings for professionals. He said many accessories will begin showing up at the retailers, but we really didn't go through a whole list. I'm just as anxious as everyone else to see what many accessories ends up being and the docking station when that arrives.

I hate to sound like a skeptic; however I have heard this same story from them since Thanksgiving and it is always the same time line given. While I would truly be happy if this was real, my advice would be to not get your hopes up too high.
There are G Tablet users on here scouring the web looking for alternatives that work for this tablet. There are also a plethora of new 10" tablets starting to hit the market which seem to have more accessory support than our G Tablets. Those accessories should work very nicely for our tablet and we will then have a variety of items to choose.
While I am a HUGE fan of this tablet (I own 2 of them); I have been very disappointed with Viewsonic and the very poor go to market strategy (or lack thereof) which was employed.
Misses on this tablet:
1: They did not have accessories ready to ship when tablet released
2: The ROM was at best half baked and disappointed EVERYONE; this caused something with great hardware to quickly accumulate a bad rep with little hope of recovery. Lets be honest... it has gotten pretty bad reviews!
3: Little to no marketing effort on the behalf of Viewsonic. (They just dumped it out there and no real fan fare was given. I would attribute that to the fact they knew the ROM was crap and did not want to attract too much attention).
4: No real effort on Viewsonic's part to really turn this situation around; oh yes they have made a few cosmetic changes to the ROM... but really folks... that is about it.
Hits on this tablet:
1: Excellent hardware
Champions:
The XDA Devs who took on the monumental task of making this tablet worth owning! The only reason I have two of these is because of all of the efforts and sharing being done by the XDA community as a whole. Viewsonic needs to finacially support these devs and give all of us an accessory of our choice or ship us an upgraded device (whatever they are going to replace this with in the future) due to the primary fact they we beta tested this device and were used as unwitting Guinna pigs by Viewsonic.
Again... don't hold your breath... you will surely turn blue and die before this happens.
I am very happy with this tablet and for what I wanted in a tablet this will serve me well for quite a while. Just remember when something is Bleeding Edge... it does mean YOU will bleed while trying to make the new technology work!
Just my two cents worth....
I guess we will collectively hold our breath...
Perhaps off topic but has anyone seen any sales numbers (units sold) for the gTablet? It probably wouldn't make economic sense to roll out a line of accessories if sales sucked. I did some research last week and didn't find anything. Plenty out there on competitors tablets though.

I'm guessing not so good seeing how several retailers returned all of their stock. The reviews were mostly negative or mixed at best. All of this was due to crap ROM it shipped with. The average consumer would much rather shell out the extra money for a different tablet instead of going through the trouble of flashing a custom ROM like us.

I agree...
The only thing holding this up is the HARDWARE. I'm currently looking to put a newer ROM on there than the one I put on after I discovered the monstrosity they had shipped it with..
A leather jacket would be great.

I ordered the dock from Merimobiles on the 17th and it arrived today on the 31st. Completely took me by surprise. I was trying to beat the Chinese New Years. I was expecting it in another few weeks frankly. Too bad Viewsonic didn't have a number of these in wait at the launch. Probably needed to rebrand. A sticker would have sufficed for me. Now to get back to testing it ....
Has anyone received a defective docking station? Mine will not charge the Tablet. I placed the tablet in the docking station and plugged the station in a wall outlet with the AC/DC convertor I got with the Tablet. The light on the tablet never came on and the tablet was never charged.
Also, there was something fairly heavy that was moving around inside the dock as you rotated or shifted it. I don't know if something was broken inside or it was just a weight used to make the dock more stable. It just didn't seem normal. When I contacted Merimobiles they seemed upset and said that no one had returned this unit and that it was a very well-made item.
Well, I'm returning it.

Consider yourself lucky. I ordered mine from Merimobiles on 12/29 and still have not received it. I got one reply from them after several attempts that the processing got delayed b/c of Xmas and that it didn't ship until 1/4. I finally got a tracking number and it says it shipped on 1/26. I'll spare you all the language that is going through my head for this company.
I like to see some accessories here in the US also. I’m a little leery about buying thing from overseas vendors. Either way I think we’ll be waiting a while for something to show up.
I emailed for an update on the accessories that are due out and the response "You will see accessories in stores March 1". Still holding my breath.
Feel free to check my market link... Docks, cases, screen protectors, and chargers are available (in the states)

I bought one too, 6 5* ratings for $15 shipped? Yes please.
Those who have it, can you please provide some pics? also, with this case are you able to have multi angle view (looking for something that I can easily type on the TF laying down with an angle)? Thanks
ya ima postsum pics when it gets in the mail
Thanks...sorry, i read it wrong, thought it already came in.
today or tomorrow
Just thought I'd bump this thread for two things:
-- Apparently, since yesterday, the price on these has gone down to 9.99.
I should be upset upon realizing that just last week, I paid 14.98 for this, but for the second reason I alluded to earlier:
-- Up to August 26th, 2011, AYL has a promotion where you can get a FULL REFUND of your purchase price.
My package that arrived yesterday, came with a letter stating that if you give them a 5-star review and link them back through an email address they give for proof, as well as your order number, they'll give you a full refund (not including the shipping of $4.99). I followed the instructions on the letter.
I can attest to this myself that this is a real deal, since I got an official email from Amazon that they're processing a refund of this item as we speak.
Here's the link to the product: http://www.amazon.com/Quality-Leath...iewpoints=1&sortBy=bySubmissionDateDescending
You probably don't have to wonder why it has 5-star reviews across the board. My review is under the exact same username I'm using here.
FYI: It seems to actually really be a good product. I'm no leather expert, but it seems like genuine leather enough, and build quality is pretty good.

Now that you have it, what is your actual thoughts of the product? I was going to get one because of the 5 stars but since finding this out Im really interesting in finding a real review. I purchased case off of Amazon and im returning it because of the quality.
What do you think of the case? How do the wholes fit (the one I had didnt line up too well), how well does it function as a stand? (mine constantly tipped over). Any feedback is appreciated.

I like it. Although it doesn't have adjustable viewing angles, the main angle is good, at least for me. Also, if you allow your screen to rotate, you can use it in reverse for a very low angle...as long as the app you are using also rotates with the screen.
The leather, as I mentioned earlier, seems decent, and it has a nice suede interior lining.
All the holes line up perfectly for both the FFC and the light sensor, as well as for the camera in the back. On the sides, all of the buttons and ports are fully accessible, and it looks like they took care to not block the speaker grilles without compromising structural integrity. It also doesn't exude "cheap" in any sense. The stamped leather is all class, IMO.
All in all, well worth the previous 14.98 price, even with 4.99 shipping, and even more so at the 9.99 price. Not sure about the "59.99" price their product page is quoting as its original price though.
EDIT: Although I don't have a dock yet, it seems that the dock might work well with it, since I don't see anything that can keep you from plugging in the dock while the TF is in this folio. Also, one of the things I like is that I can actually use the charger at the bottom while it's being used as a stand.

Lol I included shipping for total cost but yeah this is a great case
shipping time for me has exceeded 8 days (5 business days) and it looks like usps won't be delivering it until tomorrow at the earliest. I'm used to waiting this long for stuff from china but going from CA to WA this is ridiculous. I guess I get what I pay for...
Weird. I ordered it last Saturday, and I received it this past Wednesday. I'm in Arizona.

+1. That's what I really want to know too!
Well, if it's a full refund... time to try it out! I wanna see if it works well with the dock.
Doesn't look like its availible in the UK
Check out the rooCASE Executive Portfolio. It will be available on January 10th. I just preordered one.
Edit: See below!
Not compatible with the dock, yet they show the dock as a combo purchase? Having to switch it in and out of the case every time I wanted to dock it kills it for me, but it looks like a nice case for anyone who is just using it as a straight tablet.
Perfect for my needs. I bought it because I need a tablet not a netbook. Not to say I'm not going to be buying the dock. I am also keeping my eye out on this one to see if it comes out for the Prime. It is compatible with the dock and absolutely amazingly perfect. I have e-mailed the manufacturer inquiring if it will be available. I will let you know what they say.
edit: Literally just received this e-mail:
Hi (Scumbag),
Yes we will be producing a similar case for the Prime. Keep checking our website - should be able to pre-order in the next few weeks.
Kind Regards,
