I checked the ATT website today, and it said the Asus Padfone X is no longer available? Did they discontinued it already or was it sold out?

I noticed when I paid my bill on the 12th of September that it was no longer on display in the AT&T corporate store. I asked and was told that they pulled it the day before. I suppose this means it either didn't sell well or the amount of problems is overwhelming and they are discontinuing it.
In which case, why aren't they giving those of us that got screwed on it some support? I won't lie- I know the PadFone X hardware issues are ASUS's fault, but the way AT&T is handling it (or more accurately, doing their best to avoid handling it) in my case is why I'm finally jumping ship.
The accessory blowout may have already begun as well. I just ordered the Incipio case bundle for ten bucks at the AT&T site.
Sad news if it's true. So much potential for this device. Mine is thankfully still going strong.

PM me an asking price, please, and I'll get back to you as work allows.
I received my Incipio bundle today (well, yesterday). I laughed when I opened the box. I can't believe this thing used to list for $70. The phone "case" is a joke. Oh well;. I'm not looking for drop protection; I'm looking to be able to protect the station's screen in my bag or on my desk, and this will do that well.

Actually I am using a case I got from office depot called "solo urban universal fit tablet case" . I think it protects the tablet more and it looks more professional. Also I ordered a phone case off ebay that has been a home run too. Search for "Ultra-thin Slim Stand Leather Case Cover Holster For Asus PadFone X".
I grabbed a $5 TPU case from eBay that I throw on when I'm taking the phone out of the house. Easy enough to take on and off. It even works with the Duracell Powermat, although charging is much slower.
Got mine today, it's a nice cover, but wasn't going to buy it for 70, $11 well spent

I'm happy with the station cover and feel that alone was worth the $11. The phone "cover" is a joke, lol.

Damn! I paid 80 for Incipio case... (but I got it a few days after it came out) I was in the AT&T store the other day and it looks like they discontinued the Padfone X and replaced it with the padfone x mini (which I didn't see hte point in, I love my Padfone x)

Does that phone case (I'm assuming its as in [1] or [2]) allow inserting the phone into the tablet without removing the case?

No. This case on ebay will not work; you will need to remove the case before inserting the phone into the tablet. You can get that from the first link for $5.99 Shipped.

Thanks. Looks like the only (cheap) option is the AT&T $10 case then. Will get a relative to bring it over to my side of the world soon.
Hey
Have you heard anything about it? Because I'm currently looking at the phone and I've been looking for it on the internet for a good hour and a half, and it doesn't seem like I'm able to find it, besides some shady Amazon and Ebay posts.

So I went back to sears the other day and attempted to barter with them for a price difference, that failed. They said they cant adjust the price, regardless of me knowing about the discounted units on sears outlet.
Anyway, while I was there I saw they had a bunch of cases for the G-Tablet. They are only $6.95 each so I bought one.
Looking at the packaging, you can see on the back it says "Re-Packaged by" some company. So again this is just some 3rd party item viewsonic is reselling.
After opening it, I see a "Case Logic" tag. My guess is it's a case logic Ipad case, as it doesn't fit the gtablet snug at all, still a few inches of extra room once it's in there.
Also, this thing STINKS! Like really, it stinks. My whole kitchen smelled of the stanky ass neoperene used on this case, and after putting the gtablet in there now the gtablet itself stinks of chemical/neoprene. I am going to have to try and febreeze the thing and/or hang it outside for a while because the smell is so strong it is actually giving me a headache, and now that the tablet itself smells like it it doesn't matter if I have the case nearby, lol.
I'll post some pics up later. Just wanted to write my first impressions on the case.

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?
case
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.
http://www.amazon.com/Case-Logic-VLS-110-10-Inch-Netbooks/dp/B001Q3MA80
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.

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.

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.

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.

Alright my fellow Canadians, if there are any, if you have a Prime you're probably just as pissed as I am about the lack of anything for this tablet up here and even more so I'm pissed at Amazon for refusing to ship anything here. SO, if you see anything for the TP in/available to Canada, post it up here
pretty sure there aren't any sleeves for the prime yet at all. I went to staples and bought a generic netbook 10.1 inch sleeve from targus. Its a little fat for the prime but I figure it'll fit in there much better when my keyboard arrives (if ever)
Basically. Just take your prime to an electronics store and see which sleeve it fits in
I'm waiting for my Prime, but I've been lurking on this sie for a case too. I was hoping to get that roo-case listed here from Amazon. I haven't tried to order it from Amazon.com, but I did read that they will ship to Canada.
What is their reason not to ship to you?
I noticed a few of the cases would ship from amazon.com to Canada - sadly, not all, but there is some selection.
So far every one on Amazon has refused to ship up here :-( just says sorry can't ship to your address

Amazon has some stupid requirement that things have to arrive within like 5 - 10 days at max or something like that and the only way for them to meet that is to charge $25 expedited. If yoiu email them and say you're in Canada, the guy told me he'll ship it China Post but it won't be within to 5 -10 but I don't care.
Just email em direct, BCSstore or whatever, originally the guy said just order it, put a UK or China delivery address and tell him the order number with an address in CA and he'll change it. Try it out, I got mine with free shipping and expected delivery is like 10 - 15 I think. I asked the guy if others could email direct he said sure, only issue is availability of stock
On the other hand, wanted one of those matte HHI screen protectors, they sell a 3 pack for $12 and want $24 for shipping, emailed them, they basically told be to get bent
I use this one, got it at Bestbuy for about $9 too.
Not sure if it was the 9" or 10" version
but it fits perfectly even with the dock attached.

I bought this case from Futureshop and it fits well.
Tucano Finatex 10"
http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/prod...spx?path=01bc42bce3cb207837454e115277bf6fen02
It has 2 compartments and the larger one is divided in half where the back half fits the prime alone quite well. The front half would fit the prime attached to the dock or the dock separately. The smaller compartment has a mini pocket in it to hold an iPod or phone sized device with a space for headphones to travel up the strap and exit near your shoulder.
The only thing I didn't like (it isn't specific to this case) is that the USB charger wall wart has no place to go that is not a danger to the screen if the bag gets squished.
2 pages and 20 days later and the OP is still absolutely right on track:

Alright my fellow Canadians, if there are any, if you have a Prime you're probably just as pissed as I am about the lack of anything for this tablet up here and even more so I'm pissed at Amazon for refusing to ship anything here.

I just can't believe how hard it is to find a sleeve/case that fits a minimum requirements.
I'd love to get the Moko, Verteks, Roocase, Vipertek, Blurex slim sleeves (the one at multi-angle, portrait only mode) as they all seem to have the necessary cutouts of ports and speaker, and would allow docking the keyboard without removing the sleeve.
Except, they are ALL unavailable on Amazon.com, and I can't find any of these anywhere else.
Only thing available are the kind of sleeves/cases which cover the front side areas of the tablets which to me, is a no go as these can not be used alongside a dock ; or those like the MiniSuit which doesn't have a stand for the tablet alone.
Worse than that, the same thing goes for the screen shields ! It's impossible to get one here in Canada.
I can't wait to start using my tablet all the time (and get rid of my aging netbook) but I'm just too afraid to scratch it.
Really frustrated at this situation. And I did spend at least 4-5 hours in the past 2-3 days researching all the above.
TheCellGuru.com - Samsung OEM Book Cover Case for Galaxy Tab 7'7 - Black EFC-1E3NBEGSTA
I found one for only $31.70 + $1.99 Minimum Shipping (they have USPS and FedEx options)
They ship from PA, USA.
I wasn't going to get one based on all the mixed reviews and I wanted a "proper" case with multi-view angles, but for now I guess this will do at this price. At least it's not $45+
Ordered mine from there it was the cheapest i could find.. got it today.. it works.. in the pictures it looks thicker..
Sent from another Galaxy...

Awesome. Thanks!
Can't wait to get the whole set in my hands.
This is by far the cheapest I have found as well.
Thanks,
Hi there! I bought this case for someone else (gift), and I'm not sure if it fits the tablet well (I don't have the tab with me). Are you able to lock the front cover in place? Or is it basically just a flap? If you can post a pic that would be great! Thanks!

Search Youtube for a clip titled "Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 Original Sleeve and Screenprotector Review." (3:03 long) It shows the case in action. (Sorry I can't post links yet cause I'm such a noob.) From that video it doesn't look like the cover locks closed. It does look pretty damn sleak though. I've alread ordered one off eBay.
Price increased

Price has increased to $49.99 and is showing Out of Stock
Ordered one last week from the UK and got it today.
It's not a Samsung OEM. It's a Samsung Original product. (They are different.)
The cover does not lock shut but it does stay shut.

I thought the Samsung bookcase cover for the OG 7" did this a little better. The corners of that one protruded out past the screen just enough for the cover flap to nestle in. The 7.7 cover doesn't flop around like some iPad covers I've seen, but it's not as snug as the Samsung 7".
Anyway, I think 7.7 looks great and performs adequately and is good to have even if it's $20 too much.

I ordered mine from Cellguru yesterday for the $31.XX. Must have gotten the last one
A bit out if the subject but i think the following would be a better case than the samsung one. For starters it opens from right to left, as it shoukd,and the cover does not flap open as it has small magnets so it stays closed at all times. It also has easy access to power and vol up/down buttons, ear phone jack, mic, charging slot and speakers as well as the sim and sd slot. There would be no need to removed tad to access anything. The seller will also ship a combo stylus/pen, the stylus has a rubber end and it works flawlesly on the tab. I ordered mine about 2 weeks ago and received it yesterday, it came all the way from china. I originally payed 19.99 but the seller has then raised it 29.99, i guess due to the popularity of the tab. I still think its a very good deal for a very good case.

I don't get why people care what direction the flap opens. It's not a book, it's a tablet computer.

Are you sure, because OEM stands for "Original Equipment Manufacturer" and since Samsung is the manufacturer (i.e OEM) of both the 7.7 Tab and the 7.7 Book Cover Case, the Case could be considered both the "Original" case as well as being the "OEM" case

I think cases like this where you have slide the tablet in really hide the asthetic beauty and slimness of this devise. They also make it look thicker. The Samsung case is very thin. The tablet snaps in securely and allows you to see how thin the tab is. It doesn't mattervwhich wasy it opens. I can access all ports without taking it ot of the case. Obviously it all comes down to personal preference but I have seen no cases that come close to the Samsung.

Yes I am sure.
This case is a Samsung Original.
OEM accessories can be licenced out by Samsung.
