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

Love it! I don't have the keyboard yet but I tried my husbands netbook and it seems like it should fit.
Thought I would share that I love it.
These cases that claim to be shock proof or make things unbreakable always make me laugh. They may stop visible damage but the internals will still be subject to a few G's when dropped, and connections might be loosened. Some protection is always welcome of course for that 'just in case' scenario, so a case is always recommended for transporting it.
But sods law states that it will be dropped when it's not in a case and it will shatter into a hundred pieces anyway. At least I bet, now that I've written this, it'll happen to me.
Having said that however the case you mention looks quite nice.

Did you find it in-store at Staples or did you order online? I'd like to take a look at my local Staples if so.....Cheap enough that I might give it a try...
I bought an "Incase" 10.5" case at Target that I really like...good cushioning, but probably not "shock proof"....
Yes I found it in the Staples Store at mine it was on an end cap. Very thick why thicker than a few that my husband has tried. I am not going to be dropping it down the stairs hopefully but for little drops I am sure it will help.
How come you bought the 13" one? doesn't the 10" one fit the TF?

You know I think I am wrong. The sign had said they only had 13inch and 15inch but now I looked and it says IPAD case so I was going to measure and I can't find a darn ruler or anything but I guess it would either have to be the Ipad case or the 10 inch because it just fits...snuggly but my husbands 10inch Asus Netbook fits int there also. So when he gets home and I can measure I will. I think though I might go get the 13inch this way I can fit the cord on the side also.
This case would be great:

If they will make a TF fitting version of it?
Ok, so I am looking for something temporary that makes it easy to take the tablet out and use and i think i prefer not having a zipper because i just dont think metal needs to be anywhere near the tablet when it comes to a case. So I am thinking about one of the 3 cases and they are all under $10. Free 2 day shipping with amazon prime as well. My biggest concerns with them though is that they might be to big. I dont want the tablet sliding around in it. Here are the options i have found so far:
http://www.amazon.com/Envelop-Neopr...?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1305695940&sr=1-39
http://www.amazon.com/Kensington-K6...2-Inch/dp/B002NU5R3A/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
http://www.amazon.com/Asus-T101MT-E...TF8&coliid=I3ULO79FFYTHW8&colid=3V2S2G7N6FICX
I am kind of leaning towards the Asus one above, but the envelope style one might be nice. I didnt find any in the compatible thread that fit my needs. I will probably be getting a dock (whenever best buy has them available as i have a $100 BB gift card to burn there), nothing is in stone yet. I really wanted a case with a stand, but the asus transformer one seems like crap and the price is to high and doesnt work with the dock.
Help me make a decision as i have been shopping to long. =) I could just buy 2 of the 3, but i dont want to waste money either and Im not one to return a $10 item. I am open to other ideas as well. Thanks!
Keep your eye

Keep your eye on It2steve's site: electroniccrap.com If you want to waiting about 9days. You will not be disappointed.
Just ordered one from ebay for 10" netbook, should only have 2cm more than the transformer on the width... should fit great with the keyboard dock and only 3.28$
Here is the link for anyone interested, (also, does anyone actually tried those sleeve and how did it fit, i am waiting for my dock to come in but the dimensions should fit or be really close...)
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250759188954#ht_4779wt_1035
as for the messenger bag, i would have definately got one from amazon but i am in canada and the shipping is monstruous and the ones from amazon.CA are 3-4 times the price so i am looking on ebay...
If you are Sam's Club member
I found a sleeve at Sam's Club for 7.88 by Case Logic. Zips shut and has a small pocket on the front the cord and power supply (I keep an micro fiber cloth for cleaning the display also). Works great with the tablet and keyboard.
I ended up getting the Asus one as it was only about $12 after overnight shipping. Will update you guys on how it fits.
i'm going to whine... so if you're in no mood for it- stop reading now...

why does a 39 USD case cost 95 USD in germany? (or 105 for israel?!?!)
I need a case for the device, and the one case that gives pockets and a workable solution is fast asleep selling to one (large and fat) market- the US
I've gone through 4 of the 9 resellers, it's like they dont even bother.
It's double and triple prices abroad- and if you dont like it- tough.
come on... the UK is inside of the EU, that will bring taxes down... and the people there even speak ENGLISH, so business wont be a total bummer...
How about a small distribution center in HK? global free shipping? (i'm sure dealextreme will stock your case, and sell a couple thousand of them)
sometimes i wish i'd work in the entertaiment retail
How to do it
Bought y RoosCase via Amazon.
Shipped to friend in USA.
He put it in the mail and 2 weeks later it is here.
It does double shipping but there is no customs on that kind of ithem.
I bought the minimalist case. Will post a review is a few days.
No pockets and less protection but only 6 oz to add to the weight.
Shofar
I got this one for the HP at Amazon, but it fits perfectly, has a pocket, and was inexpensive. Any chance a friend could get it for you and mail it?
HP WV594AA 10.2 Inch Mini Sleeve
And this one that has strap and pockets
STM Bags Jacket Large
What kind of case are you looking for?
I got a hardcover named "bulletproof coolbananas" from amazon.de.
Normally for Netbooks, but protects good with one pocket outside
and shoulderstrap.
Yesterday i got my $11 bookcase cover for my beloved 7.7, it fits the tab nicely and it has a "built in" stand so that you can use the tablet as for example a mediaplayer. Only downside, that I can see now with this type of stand, is that you need to have the tablet wrong way around (connector to the left, instead of right) when you want to use it as a type-stand, but thats not a big deal for me atleast.
The inside of the lid and backside are dressed in thin felt to not scratch the tab.
the plastic seems alittle thinner than on similar cases and that way you have a smaller risk getting the flash to reflect in the plastic when taking pictures.
It was quite cheap compared to the OEM bookcase covers that are out there, as I didnt "buy it now", the delivery was 5 workingdays from Hong Kong to Sweden.
I dont think i have ever gotten something from Hong Kong to Sweden that fast
So how do you like it? Would you reccomend it? How is the stand, does it feel like it will break or something?
I've been looking for something like this and I really like the look of this.. and the OEM ones are soooo expensive, as you say..

I am happy with it, and the stand seems sturdy enough.
And I would recomend it, remember to check out the rest of the colours also
Nice case, i have orderd one thx för the pic

I purchased one of these and thought it was pretty good value. It looks nice on the tab (I had an orange one) and I didn't have any of the fit problems that others reported in the other thread. The stand worked great for my needs and the material it's made out of has a really nice feel to it too.
I did have a couple of minor gripes though.
1) There's nothing to keep the cover closed. Not a big deal if you just want the screen protected while it's in a bag or whatever.
2) The panel forms the bottom most part of the stand was always picking up dirt from whatever I set it down on and then carrying it back on to the screen when I closed it. I started to notice tiny abrasions on my screen protector from it.
I've since switched to a different case but still think this one was pretty good for the money.
