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

After reading how there are fakes around, where's the best place to buy a gtab? Is there any reputable retailer selling one for less than the norm? Sadly, I missed the woot.com deal. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
Here.
Tiger-Direct.
ElectronicCrap.com ( if in stock :] )
Deals!Woot has it for $249.99 with free shipping right now.
Here is the link.

I ended up getting mines from Office Depot ($299). There were cheaper places online but I wanted my grubby little hands on it sooner than later and their price was tolerable enough. Unfortunately they carry absolutely nothing in the accessory department. The tablet was surrounded by iPads and iPad accessories.
There was no soot deal when I got mine and I'm an Amazon prime member so I got it from Amazon with free shipping. I would have saved $ by waiting for the price to drop I.e. tiger direct, but by that logic it's a great time to buy a Pentium pro.
I came across an add for the Sony Tablet S that I thought I should share with some folks who might be looking for a deal.
Sony Tablet S (32gb)
Sony Tablet S Cradle (A/C not included)
although it says that the A/C is not included, I think there will probably be an ac adapter in the Sony Tablet S Box... I remember I purchased a different bundle that included the tablet, a cradle, and an ac adapter, and i ended up with two AC adapters because one came in the box with the tablet, and another came in a box by itself.
in any case, it's 479.99 after the advertised checkout-coupon here's a link:
Tigerdirect.com Sony Tablet S 32gb + cradle
Pretty spiffy deal wish mine came with a cradle.
I'd guess the ac-adapter that came with the tablet would just plug into the back of the cradle.

yup. the 32gb tablet alone sells for 499.99USD on the sony website. so really, you're getting 20 bucks and the cradle free.
the power port for the cradle is the same a the tablet. that's why i thought it was odd they would send two.
I think I lucked out when I bought my 32gb because I was able to get the Sony employee sale price of $399 end of November. But here is a little incite on that... If you have a local Sony store I would ask them to hook you up with the employee price. My understanding is they are able to do that and as I was told a sale is sale towards meeting their goals. If you haven’t bought one yet and are considering I would give it a shot. It worked for me and just like I had nothing to lose so do you. All you have to do is ask for it.
I'm a little pissed that I Purchased the Sony Tablet S on 1/2/12 for $499 now it's $399.
Best Buy policy is only 15 days return so I'm stuck at paying that price.
I wonder if Sony have some kind of refund policy just like Apple when they dropped the price with the iPhone.

Bummer, but not much you can do now. Enjoy your tablet.
I lucked out and got one from Best Buy at the $399.00 price with $75.00 off for being an open box. All of the accessories were included, just no box.

Nice, that's almost half of what I paid ($499 + 6% tax). Only if I waited one more week.
I paid 429 for my 32gb about two weeks ago
I bought mine (16GB) from tigerdirect for $316 shipped, refurb.
Advertised as open box.
So far so good.
Yea you hear it... Everyone looking to buy the official HP TouchPad case, this seller on ebay is giving it away for $7.75 brand new and will ship it worldwide for cheap.
I bought it from this seller two weeks ago for $15 plus $12 of shipping to Italy and I have just noticed he took the price furthermore down, so I thought I should probably share it with you guys.
This is absolutely the best price eva for the official case.
Hopefully this thread will help someone getting it for a really wicked price.
This is not the leather case, just the cheap sleeve, this sells for $20 or less here.

Oh damn it ... I thought it was the leather case.. Grrr!!! However I got the leather one for $15 brand new.. However its still a good price isnt it??
I've been using a Verizon branded leather tablet sleeve on my Touchpad for a while. They were originally produced for the iPad 1 and there appears to be a huge surplus of them as they have been showing up from various websites for cheap.
To those of you in the UK, who is after a Tablet Z charging dock. Argos has it on offer for 24.99 collection only. Considering Sony has stopped selling it in their store, and Amazon UK selling it for nearly 60 pounds, this could be a bargain. In argos it is under Sony Xperia Reclining Charging Cable. (106/6775),
In case someone wants to buy :laugh:

Yeah, got one of these myself from Argos when I ordered the tablet from Amazon. It's well worth the money despite the stand essentially just being a bit of plastic. It actually looks really good, is very adjustable in angle of lean and allows you to charge without fiddling with the USB port connector cover. The ease of charging is well worth it on its own.
Very cheap of Sony not to bundle a charger and USB cable though, as this was originally quite a pricey item. They did the same thing with the PS Vita cradle.
It was out of stock in most of the nearby branches that I tried so anyone wanting one needs to snap it up now. I'm seriously considering buying a second one as IMO it's an essential add-on.
