I have one right now... but it's a cheap one from Ebay. When I first bought it, it fit real nice and tight but now over a month or two it's getting loose and slides around a bit.
Anyone have any suggestions? I'm looking for the following:
1. It doesn't expose the metal part of the camera on the back cover.
2. Fits snug on the phone indefinitely (is this possible?).
... and if possible one that isn't really sticky.
Thanks!
Silicon case!
I was bought one silicon case on HTC STORE http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=176956 and is great. Cost 20$.
hi, i have a clear one of these, think i would buy the grey next time. its also a cheap ebay item. its very snug, not as flexible (which makes removal a bit of an effort) and nowhere near as sticky as some silicon cases.

hope this helps
Yeah i bought one of those that bl1nky recommended. The only thing i can say is that the fit around the bezel edge is not as good as other 'softer' silicon covers.
In my case particularly, the right hand edge is badly formed and seems to pull away from the HD bezel.
In addition i find that locating and using the power switch to be troublesome and it's this that i find most annoying.
My personal quest for the perfect case continues....
Thanks for the suggestions... I'm also in the search of a perfect case. You wouldn't think it would be this hard!
I am using this from boxwave. The fit is nice and not sticky. I went with the clear one.

They look the same from what I can tell in the pictures... but you never know on Ebay it could be a cheaper knock-off of the original. I don't know because I haven't purchased the one from Ebay. I will be getting mine today or tomorrow from Boxwave and I'll take some pics of it and stuff and update here.
Is it the non-transparent one with small camera hole? (I'm in the boarding shcool where ebay is locked) If so, it's good, but rather thick, good for protection, but will make your HD thicker (around 16mm). If not, just remove this post.

Ok so I got the case and have been using it for two days now. It is pretty damn nice actually. It fits well, not too tight and not too loose either. It's not sticky like the cheap Ebay one I have so I can easily slide it in and out of my pocket. I got the smoke color. It's clear and shiny so it suits the HD well. I like being able to see the phone through the case as well.
can try this silicon case from Capdase
CW any pics mate ??
i got the silicon case from ebay and its not a tight fit.come off very easily. am now on the hunt for another case. there is a case for the iphone which is a plastic case but a rubberised finish.

If so hows the fit ?
Hey,
I was actually thinking about buying one of these. Is there anyone here, who uses one and can give me a short review about the pros and cons? I'm just looking for some case, which doesn't add too much bulkness, but still protects the phone.

I use some silicone case atm, but it feels very bulky and not that safe. As of now, it isn't hard to access the usb-port, but I dunno bout the alumor case though.
I've been using a Capdase Alumor case since I got my X10 so I can't compare with anything else, but I think it's a great case.
It adds a bit of weight (as you'd expect from an all metal/rubber case) but I like that because it makes the phone feel more solid. Phone's been dropped from '8 year old daughter' height, and survived with no damage to the phone and only a slight scrape on the back of the case.
It's fairly easy to get the phone in and out of the case if you need to, but there's no real need. All of the X10's buttons are covered with rubber, but they all work fine. You have unrestricted access to the USB socket. Access to the 3.5 mm jack socket is very slightly restricted because the rubber has a bevel around the hole for some reason (strength I guess), but this is only an issue if you have a really thick plastic bit on your headphone jacks (my Sennheiser CX300s fit fine )
I was concerned about the rubber coming away from the metal on one part of the case, but it's not got any worse since I got it, so I guess it's ok. Rubber seems to be holding up well to regular 'in and out of pocket' use.
All in all, I'd recommend this case (and no I don't work for Capdase ). I got mine from Mobilefun in the UK and they're great (no, I don't work for them either!). They seem very cheap in that link above - watch out for fakes!!!
EDIT: Oh, and no problem opening the USB plastic cap (no harder than it is anyway, that is)
That thing looks pretty thick !!
I dont know if u like your phone looking and feeling thick, bc i got this clear plastic case and it makes the phone feel really chunky in my hand and not to mention the metal casing in the ebay picture looks thicker then my plastic case. but the case looks good tho just letting u know u might not like the feel.
LOL , It's almost an Otterbox clone HA HA HA HA
How do you know if its fake? I'm currently using one.

No idea, but the cases in the link above are <$5 and the one I bought was ~£15.
Now, maybe I got screwed on price, but if they're that cheap it would make me suspicious.
At the end of the day, I guess it doesn't really matter as long as the case is good quality and protects the phone. If you get it for $5, then you're a winner
Allright I'll take a shot. We'll see where I buy it from, but still being aware of possible fakes I'll probably buy on Mobilefun. Well as for the bulk and phone feeling thick, I'll see that once it arrives, the weight doesn't matter to me as long as it's protected.
Review!
Give us a review of the case if u get it thnks!! i would like to find a better case since i really cant find many in local stores.

Sorry to bring up a fairly old topic, but I figured its still better than to make a new one.
Can anyone post some pictures of this case fitting on their x10?
All the images on the internet were just sample images, I could not tell how it looks like in real.
I'm looking to buy a white one to put on my black X10, really would like to know how that would look, thanks
Alumor pictures
I have had this case since 12/2010. The one piece aluminium case wraps the sides & bottom & is completely lined with rubber extending to include the retaining rim. The case goes on & off very easily. The seal is very tight on the phone. I carry the phone on construction jobs with alot of dust, but no damage to the phone. All buttons press easily & 3.5 jack, USB , speaker, camera lens all have cutouts.
I have had to superglue some of the rubber along the edges once but not since & the case back is more slick than the phone back, making it tough to palm, but with pinky finger practice (supporting bottom of phone) is easily overcome. The metal case is very durable & takes drops well. The case does add bulk but is minimal for the metal protection & still goes in&out of pocket well. I still use the phone both with and without the case.
I paid $25.11 US including shipping from Hong kong to Ohio, USA.

Thanks for the review and photos, I am sure you are the first to post the photos of the product in so many angles. It's helpful to some of us.
Capdase is actually one of some reliable companies here in SEA.
I am using their flip-top leather case, thinking of getting alumor metal whenever I want to travel light.
i bought this case last friday in hk for HKD 98 (ie USD 12.6002)
it's a great case but i felt a bit bulky
so i remove the backcover of x10
and my phone is as slim as before!!!
this morning i received the case, is very beautiful.
cool! looking forward to get one!
I agree with prior post. Remove the back cover for a thinner phone. Case is still tight also.

Hi guys,
I'm a new Vega user and it came supplied with a neoprene sleeve which is fine as a stop gap but I'm now needing something a bit more substantial.
I'm after a case that the vega stays in permanently but it must have 2 key features.
1) Stiff front to protect the screen when the case is closed and the tablet is in my rucksack
2) double up as a stand in landscape mode
Cheaper the better as my budget is tight, so not expecting anything too remarkable.
I've trawled eBay but none I've seen mention both of the above, so I thought I'd ask here for people's opinions on what they have in daily use.
Links to stores in the uk or eBay uk appreciated, but not essential, as long as I know what I'm looking for.
Cheers,
Malty
Lol maybe see the thread below ures

Been thinking about this one..
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....95170&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_4335wt_1156
£11 delivered
I would NOT use that eBay seller, personally, for 2 reasons.
Firstly, they describe the case as "leather", when it obviously isn't. If they will lie about that, what else will they lie about?
Secondly, their negative and neutral feedback suggests that they are not especially nice people to deal with.
The best case to meet your 2 criteria would be the official folio case. It offers the protection you require, only problem is it is not the cheapest case. But in the end you get what you pay for. Totally happy with mine, keep the vega in it all the time.
I don't mind paying if it's right.
Can that one be used as a landscape stand? I've seen it mentioned but never seen a picture of it as such.
Cheers,
Malty
You Can. Posted pics Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908230
I saw that pic (I presume the one in your first post) but wasn't sure how it was held in place.
Is the case locked in that position somehow or is it just held by friction on the desktop ?
cheers,
malty
It is held by friction. My case is a little lose, but a friend of mine has one which is a nice snug fit. Mine was not bad enough to warrant the trip back to currys. You could always take your vega with you and try before you buy.
I like this one. it's over my actual budget , but I'll get one sooner or later.

sadly they don't have any stock at my local currys or pcworld. They also have no vega's in stock but they do have one on display
Oh and I didn't mean what keeps the tablet inside the case, I meant what keeps the case upright in landscape mode ?
Did anyone notice the official Folio case got pulled from pc world? Do you think the TF101 cases would work? The dimensions are very similar, the vega is about .6mm deeper, 4mm wider and 4mm taller.
I bought this case for my Vega
ebay.co.uk/itm/250877574917?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Its cheap and it works, the inner that holds the Vega can be rotated round so it can be either horizontal or vertical, it has 3 slits at the bottom so you can fold it into a stand and choose what angle you want it held.
It also comes with (another) microsd to sd card, a stylus, a cleaning cloth and a single screen protector.
I have been impressed with it so far and for £13 its a steal.
I think im gonna get a custom case made. I'll probly use felt, real leather costs loads!

I have been looking at this and similar cases on ebay but want to know a few things first.
1. Is the case specifically for the vega or is it generic eg, are ports accessible and is the fit right, or is it a bit off?
2. Is the tablet secure, will it fall out?
3. How much bulk does the case add?
Thanks, my vega should be coming in a few days, does it come with a case or sleeve already, I don't want to pre order something unnecessary.
Cheers everyone!

Nope, no case or sleeve Inc.
I bought one from ebay. It's item number 320710547405 and the 'title' is "Foldable leather Case Fits 10.1" Advent Vega Tablet -UK." It came with a free screen protector but I haven't really used it since the case protects it so well.
I was really impressed with the case because it's quite sturdy and the foldable bit at the back (see photos on the item description) is really handy. Also, all the cables, etc. fit in very nicely. Overall, it was a real bargain, especially considering the ones at PC World were majorly overpriced.
Good luck and enjoy your Vega!
Ooops....forgot to say that it does add a bit of bulk to the tablet but to be honest, the tablet had a few close calls before I got the case that I was grateful for the extra 'bulk.' It's not a major amount of bulk though!

When did you buy your case bud? I got mine in around February when I got my vega and mine has definately got a hard front cover (It lives permanently in its folio case in my rucksack and when I take it out from time to time its still like brand new)

Decided on the Tuff-Luv faux leather case for better protection as my 4 year old boy is always messing with my Tablet S. Seems to be pretty solidly made with just minimal exposed parts. Anyone else using it?
Btw ... anyone from Singapore/Malaysia interested to buy my Original Sony Tablet S Cover S SGPCV2? Letting it go cheap on eBay.
just got it from amazon.
it is a nice case indeed. It's reasonably priced and well made. but let the pictures do the talking
-edit- as aparently my post count is too low to link external pictures, they are hosted on my gallery gallery.twingo.rs/index.php/stuff/Sony-Tablet-S1/TuffLuv-Case/
maybe someone can link them for me
That's a really nice case. Can you charge the Tablet S while its in the case?
yes. you just have to leave the flip open. the tablet goes in thick end first, so easy charging
Is it more of a carrying case or is it meant for you to use the tablet while having its in the case?

Careful. The one on my pictures is just a carrying case. you can just slip the tablet in for transportation. the one ndrookua is describing is not the "TuffLuv". It's another case from the same brand.

I get tired of the normal solid color cases and thought this "Starry Night" was a nice change.

Does anyone thing there will be an otter box type case coming out for this device. It seems to be a lot more popular that is was when it first came out.
I definitely recommend this one (I got the white one) https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3-i...32757256844.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.djUIsA. It has magnetic lock, it is thick enough to protect the tablet. I have not seen any Otter Box case or even a skin like Dbrand's or Alien Surface.

I'm joining the conversation just to bring my experience.
I've have the silicon cover of kwmobile and this is what I think about it: the grip is great, it is not too chubby, but the protection doesn't fit well (I guess the silicon needs time before adapting to the tablet shape).
The one linked by @Flavio looks good and now I'm undecided, because I want also to protect my screen (not with the plastic film protection).
So maybe I will go for this: https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B01N4X1MLZ/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I3CP2J4UVV6I92&colid=36ITKF2LDDASR&psc=1
It should be available also in other Amazon country.
From amazon
Got mine from amazon, most of the covers for the M3 come with magnet and auto turn-off feature. It is a must to protect such a large body made of aluminum.

Cheap and does the job fine.
This for me has worked wonders.
