If you have doubts it should have came with a certificate of authenticity a small little piece of paper. You can go to there website and verify.

Yeah the case has a hologram sticker on it for authenticity and a serial number for your case, also the case it self probably cost $5 or $10 bucks, really well made.

It did come with that piece of paper and it did verify. Just never had one of their cases come in a box like this.

Yea, mine came in that same cardboard box that you're showing us in the picture. I think it's just a new box design or somethin, but it's been around for a couple of months now I believe. As long as you checked out the authenticity on their website, you should be good to go! Mine checked out just fine too on their website, so I didn't really stress the new design too much, although I was kinda wonderin what the deal was with the box design at first lol

The huge plastic box is pretty but really wasteful. Makes sense to go to cardboard.

Lined sleeve for the phone?

Anyone know where I can find a nice, lined, sleeve I can put my phone in? I carry my phone in my purse most of the time, and would like something to slide it into to prevent keys and whatnot from scratching the case. I am not particularly fond of the bulky (and often ugly) snap-on covers. I just want something simple! I love the little sleeve that comes with the Palm Pre.. something like that would be perfect.
I tried some of the blackberry sleeves in an electronics store. They seemed to be ok, but I needed a vertical clip-on. Hope this helps.

Oh! that has got to be the nicest sleeve ive seen so far!! only on pre- order at the mo, soon i hope.
I got a couple of cheap sleeves from e-bay, I just looked but i can't find the one i'm using now to give you the link, sorry.
That Sena sleeve is very nice. I'll have to bookmark that and check back later to see if they come in stock. Thanks a bunch!
I picked up the sleeve when I had the Imagio, and it still works for the my TP2 although it will take some time to stretch it out
Lined Sleeve
Got to T-Mobile coorporate store and get one. The last one I bought was on sale for $3.99. It was a microsuede inner with a nylon outer in black. I love it and it fits great. Its just a universal accesory.
I just picked up one of these for my phone. Very slim, probably won't protect it from a drop, but if you are looking for some slim, basic protection -- these do the trick and are pretty cheap as well since I like to carry my phone in my pocket.
http://cgi.ebay.com/BLACK-SLEEVE-CA...ccessories?hash=item56380a25dc#ht_2719wt_1165
I preordered the Sena. Looks like exactly what I want. Found a 20% off coupon code. Worked with the Preorder. Make it ~20 + shipping ~ $25 total.

Thanks for the T-Mobile store recommendation. I still want that Sena sleeve, but who knows when those will be available. I swung by the local T-Mobile store and they had a whole rack of sleeves.. they didn't seem to be for any specific phone model. It fits the TP2/Tilt2 perfectly though. And only $8 for the one I grabbed.

Excellent, thanks!

Nice Carrying Case for the G Tablet

Hey All,
I purchased a nice carrying case for my GTablet. I made a video review of the case. Check it out:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jV212l8L7-k
Its made by SOLO and I got it at staples for $20. Pretty neat!

Good find! (And better than the stinky Sears case, which still reeks after a week...) Going to have to brave Staples(mall) tomorrow and see if I can nab one... beats waiting for Amazon to ship me a Kindle DX case which may or may not fit nicels...
Pretty decent video, although I will admit to only watching about half of it... just wanted to see the basics...
I found a nice one in the travel store at the mall for only like $10. I think it was sold as a case for 10-11 inch netbooks. The brand was room.it.up
This is for anybody who might like something more fun and, admittedly, girly. But I know some here get the tablets for their wife, gf, daughter, etc.
The leather case you showed is very professional looking, and at $20 I think is a great price for that style.

Yikes! Their website says $32 now... not such a great deal any longer I'm afraid...
I'll have to check it out in a store and see if it's still $20 in store or if you just stumbled across a pre-Christmas sale that just ended maybe...
I too had this case when i first got my tab along with several others... I loved it first but after a couple of days you will start to notice it will loosen up and may not be as tight. Hopefully yours works out, keep the receipt handy just in case.

Ditto on this, I bought it and it was great for a couple days till the elastic that holds the tab in losens up.
other minor issues with it. if you use the elastic in all 4 corners, the band on the top left will often depress the power button. Gave me a drained battery surprise one time.
The elastic in the bottom left will often cover the headphone jack, so it's a nuisance to move it to plug in headphones.
and after a while the elastic in the right corners loosens, and that makes the tablet often flop out of the top corner and fall over.
Still it's s decent and readily-available case solution until better is available
Good find and thanks for posting a video on it.
Don't want to hijack, but found a decent Budget Case - Picked up a Case Logic case on sale in my local Office Depot for $5. It is a simple sleeve case, but seems to be well made. Cordura type nylon with some leather accents. Very well padded. Plan to find a notebook style case for daily use, but this one will be good for transport.
Can't find it on their site, so not sure if it on sale everywhere. Also can't post links yet, but if you google 'Case Logic VLS110 7-10" Mini Laptop Sleeve' you'll find pics.
some wholesalers at work use ipads w/ a case that doubles as a stand.. looks very clean and sturdy.. anyone see one of these somewhere for the g-tablet? saw another thread where they were trying to do a group buy for something similar but the pictures made it look a little cheap.. thoughts?

I got a case at Staples. $24.00 SOLO Style LVL106-3 H10 MFG #S25. Works great and able to use when charging device.
I got this case at office depot for $5. Super nice padding.

Sony Tablet S Carrying Case

Amazon has this for $80, Best buy for $100. Seems super pricy for a carrying case. Anyone have one?
I want one, but none was in stock when i picked up my Tablet, so im using a HP Tablet case, works, its a bit big for the S Tab though. Im hoping they will make a cover like for the Acer, that the front folds around the back and stays on the Tablet all the time, instead of just a carrying case.
I ordered the Targus Leather Slipcase for $40. I saw an unboxing for the Sony one, but was turned off by the velcro at that price point. I prefer a magnetic closure.
http://store.sony.com/webapp/wcs/st...10151&langId=-1&productId=8198552921666381659
Don't want a traditional cover as I want to handle the device naked with its unique form factor.
The Targus is too tight,I got it for free on my pre order and never used it till now

Wow, what a disappointment. I had a feeling it was the same case used for the iPad. You can find it for around $25 on Amazon. I saw the different "model" number and was hoping it was indeed for the Sony Tablet. Bummer!!!
Amazon is showing the Sony case for $70 now. Looks like the retailer is trying to move inventory.

I got one. $69 at adorama.com. A simple carry case for the S. Well made, but not a custom fit for the wedge. You can slip the S in with the big end down or up. No holes in it for access. Only useful for transporting your S between use points.

Thanks for the referral. I haven't heard of them. Ordered the dock/cradle for $29.99 free shipping (standard), no tax. Supposed to take up to 10 days for delivery, but it's nice to save a few bucks. My tablet is supposed to be here on the 28th. I was getting ready to take a hike to the nearest Best Buy that has one in stock, but that would be $43 including tax plus fuel.

I noticed adorama.com has an official leather Sony cover ($74.99) that's not offered at sonystyle.com.
http://www.adorama.com/SOSGPCV1B.html
It's backordered, but I ordered one. This has more functionality than the slip case. Can be used as a stand and also with the cradle.

Nice find. I hadn't seen that case anywhere I looked. If you get the cradle, the S may not fit in it when it is wearing a case. Pretty custom fit when naked. Doubt the power connection will make contact if you add a layer of leather. I'd like to see a slip case that can serve as a stand when the tablet isn't in it. May have to make one myself.
It should have a problem with the cradle as the back of the case seems to bend half way up to create the prop so that should put it out of the way(at least thats how it works with the official sony case)
I have a Cheap HP mini-netbook bag I picked up for a 10 quid from asda
http://direct.asda.com/Hewlett-Packard-Mini-Blue-Sleeve/000512027,default,pd.html
It holds it pretty snuggly and also has a couple of pockets for accessoriers to slip into like the power cable and a cleaning cloth etc
im looking for a portfolio style case for my S is thgere any out there yet?
Cases
I was looking online at the Sony Store, they have a real cool one, that you slip the S into, and the front flap can fold over so its still in a case but you can use the Tablet, it was about $40, the downside is its backordered till around mid October!
I bought the dock/cradle, so I was looking for a carrying case. Sony has this one listed on their website but I found it on Amazon, it says Ipad but I'm pretty sure this is 100% the same case. Fits perfectly and exactly what I wanted, and at $16 USD(vs $25) its not a bad price.
Apparently I can't post links because of my post count even though I've been a member for over 2 years!
Search for STM Jacket for iPad on Amazon, its the $16.83 case.

For $22 bucks, I may try it out.
I got the official leather case yesterday from the Sony Center in Sheffield UK. Its a beauty!! £69.99 which is typical Sony Prices but what the hell!!. I was a bit shocked that you have to stick 2 pieces of Supplied Velcro to the back of the Tablet S and you get some extra stick on gels for the top thick end of the Tablet to keep it secure. The Case really does feel like a premium well made product and im glad i got it. I have concerns about taking the Tablet out of the case as the 2 gels are real sticky and some people would have a job getting it out!!
Overall the case is excellent and can be folded to make typing real easy.

Ventev - geo Case

Anyone have any experience with a case from Ventev? I've never even heard of them, but looking at their site it seems they make a lot of products.
Anyways I found this http://www.tessco.com/products/displayProductInfo.do?sku=532148&eventPage=1.
Honestly never heard of them myself. The price looks like it may be on the high end for what it seems to be, but if it's good quality then it'd be worth it. If you get one, post back and let us know how it is. I have a cheap Ebay TPU case on the way for now but I'm keeping my eye out for a good one.

Thanks, I saw that. I've had 2 piece cases on my other phones in the past (incipio, body glove) and I actually prefer the cheap TPU ones best. The cheap TPU ebay/amazon ones (like this: http://tinyurl.com/ct4ktzd) are really low profile, slide in and out of the pocket easily, are flexible yet firm enough to absorb shock from reasonably high drops and only cost like $3. Hopefully someone comes out with one for the OG soon. I might buy one of those ones you linked to in the meantime.

Ventev Case
The case arrived and fits the AT&T LG Optimus G E970.
The case consists of 2 parts, a TPU case and a Polycarbonate back cover. The Polycarbonate back cover can be taken off and you can then just use the TPU case.
All buttons remain functional with the case even though the case covers them, and all of the ports and the camera remain functional and accessible.
I have no problem slipping in or taking the phone out of my pocket with the case on.
The case does add significant thickness and heft to the phone, but the case seems solid.
I should mention that I ordered the case from Amzer.com, but it looks identical, and has Ventev printed on the back Polycarbonate cover.

The notification light gets covered up unfortunately.
Here's some crappy pictures. Only complaint is the tpu rubber part fits really tight. It was hard to get in and lifted up the corner of the screen protected. But took it straight from mailbox and put on phone, so maybe I should have let it warm up.
Thanks for the pictures, folks. I'll probably go ahead and get the Ventev case for now until Otterbox comes out If it does, of course).
So, from what I see, the Amzer and Ventev cases are identical, except for the logo on the back?

[Q] are these actual nexus 6 replacement backs or just skins?

I'm currently undergoing the issue of having the back peel off my nexus 6 and I've only had it for a week so I don't have another $600.00 for them to place a hold on my account for a replacement. On google+ a guy sent me a link and said these might be wood replacement backs. He said somebody posted a pic of it and said they are actual replacement backs not just skins. If they are backs I plan on buying one now
slickwraps.com/natural-series-wraps-skins-for-nexus-6
There's a .html at the end. Can't add links yet since XDA still got that crazy 10 post thing going on
These are simply skins that stick over the back, not replacement back panels. If you need a new back panel, they're on ebay with adhesive skin to apply them similar to stock. Goodluck.
Yes you can buy new white and blue back panels from ebay. They are perfect replacements.
Thanks a lot you guys! Didn't realize eBay had them. Then on top of that there not coming from overseas... awesome
Just to add to this, yes they are an adhesive skin, but they are real wood, and not a thin flimsy decal. If you read the original @slickwraps thread, people have removed the plastic nexus backing, and put the Naturals bamboo skin as a replacement, and it was a perfect fit, but it wasnt meant to be a replacement and not marketed as such. (The Naturals line, both leather and wood, are much thicker than flimsy plastic decals since they are real leather and wood)
I myself own a few of the Slickwraps Naturals products, and I have to say I am impressed with the quality.
I have the dark brown leather as my back and I removed the stock back. It fits 100% perfect and I love it! I also bought a spare OEM back in case I need it. The bamboo might need some sanding to fit flush I haven't tried it with mine yet but if and when I do I'll post some pictures.

Do you have a photo of that? since if you are not using your original back plate the nexus and M letters will look strange?

OK no problem and yes I bought the spare OEM back on eBay from a seller in NJ. The leather is on my phone so I'll take some pictures for you. I just applied some conditioner so it's wet but I have a older picture of when I first installed it that I'll post right now below for you. I'll add new pictures once the constraints l conditioner is done drying. I"aged" the leather because it looks better with some wear on it.

i also bought an extra back from ebay. received it yesterday but the curved part of the letter "u" was not in place. it had come off. i put it back in place no problem but it leads me to think they will come off easy. another thing i noticed is that the ebay one, the "nexus" letters are chrome and the ones that actually come on the phone are silver.
good thing i got the ebay one to play with it. i'm going to end up painting it or something. haven't decided what yet.

The one I bought is fine and identical to my OEM one that I took off my phone. I can post a side by side if you would like. It could be a different supplier for the back or something because most people have had good experiences with the ones from eBay. I'm not saying there aren't bad ones out there but I received a good one.

Hopefully it will still fit fine for you. I bought one as a backup because I'm using the SW Horween Leather as my phone back right now.
