Has anyone found an arm-strap style case that is suitable for the Hero?
I'd like to try out BuddyRunner but I don't have anything to carry the Hero in.
Thanks,
Lee

I'm still looking...
I´m using this one.
Hi this is for the Ipod Touch but fits perfect for my hero.
It´s made by Belkin and has partnumber F8Z525tt064

Great thanks. Where did you purchase it from? I've found a few references on the web, but no online retailers.
Thanks,
Lee
RE:
I found it in a store here in Sweden.

Thanks for that. I've ordered one too, worth the risk at $5 inc shipping.

[EDIT]
I've had this for a few days now and taken it out for a couple of runs, the second of which was in light rain across muddy terrain. The case has kept the hero clean and dry.
The strap is neoprene, or at least looks like neoprene. The screen is transparent plastic, and is sewn on to the neoprene - it doesn't look completely waterproof, but it was adequate.
The phone is secured in the case by just a double-flap of neoprene, but strapping the case onto your arm provides more security.
Overall I'm satisfied with it, particularly for 5 pounds. It's not the greatest quality, but it does the job. Thanks to Sallcho for the tip.

I was also looking for something like this.
Probably going for the Runner's Arm Wallet
http://www.hillyclothing.co.uk/Products/Neoprene/
I placed my order a few days after my previous post and received my Runner's Arm Wallet today (took 1 week).
Ordered at this site http://www.sportsaver.co.uk/ because they had the new model (Many sites only sold the old one) and were cheaper
pro:
The hero fits very well in this Arm Wallet. While running your hero doesn't move around.
It has also a rubber headphone outlet for MP3 or phone wire.
con:
As you can see in pictures of this Arm Wallet it is not transparent. So if you want to use your phone you will have to take it out of the Arm Wallet.
It's not really a problem for me because I use it for gps tracking while running/cycling and don't have time to use my phone then
As soon as i can actually order my hero, i might buy this
http://cgi.ebay.com/Sport-Armband-f...mQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_15?hash=item2a034b95e9
Fits hero good, doesnt fit my arm so unless you have really really thin arms it wont work well.
Found one in WalMart
I am in the military and over the past weekend I found a couple in the PX that would work. There was a black one and a camouflage one. My daughters recommended that I buy one and I didn't. If you know someone in the military, they can get you one of those.
If not, you could get the Belkin like I had to do from WalMart for $20. It is a neoprene case and it works perfect.
By the way, the one from the PX was about $12.
i answered the same question here

Hey All,
I purchased a nice carrying case for my GTablet. I made a video review of the case. Check it out:

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.

If you have or found a good case, post it here.
I bought the official case from TMO. It's a little pricey but provides excellent protection. As a matter of fact, the faucet in my bathroom leaks and I left my tablet on the counter one night. I woke the next morning and my tablet was sitting in a puddle of water that extended halfway up the case. Took the case off, wiped everything down, and plugged it back in. Worked fine. Even the liquid indicator was still white.

Ditto on the TMO case.. seems $20 too high, but honestly a pretty good hunk of hardware for your tablet. I will have one spare once I have my tablet mounted into my car dash..

Another vote for the TMo case and you are right about the price but you can buy it off Ebay for about $20 less unless you are like me and want it right now.
Can anyone pls post a picture/link to this TMo case?
Would like to know how it looks, whats the price and where to get it.. thanks

The brand is Incipio and I purchased mine from a TMo store for like $50. I had seen the same one on Ebay for half the price but I didn't want to wait. I checked Ebay and the case is no longer listed. I also looked on the Incipio web site and they don't even list it. I don't have a picture but the case is black and the tablet kind of snaps down into the bottom part of the case. You can open the case(it is held closed with an elastic strap) and you have three positions that the tablet can be set into. They range from a fairly good tilt to darn near upright. I have found the case to be quite nice and it really doesn't add much to the overall size. Hope this helps.

Pictures attached.
On the second picture, you can see bubbles in the microfiber. That's the glue separating because I got it wet.
I bought on ebay a smart cover like this from the auction 170821966479. It's thin, good protection and a good stand. I am very happy with it.
The TMO case is so popular in the US, but outside there are two options: universal 7 inch case or a not so bad case designed for the media pad. Search for t-mobile springboard case on ebay.
I bought a cheap-o case off eBay for $16. Listing was questionable as the sellers account was terminated the day after I bought it. I still got the case this morning after 3 weeks though. 2 problems with it. It's a little too thing for the springboard, so the outside edge around the display doesn't quit fold over all the way and sticks up. Secondly, the hole for the front facing camera is slightly off and the camera just barely peeks out from it.
Might not stick with the case though. Without the case I've always been able to stick it in my back pocket (slacks or jeans) and walk around with it to a few places, lunch breaks, dog walks, etc. With the case its a no go.

Yes, I have also found this one on eBay. I have ordered it (the same colour like lilaliend). But it never arrived (I got my money back). Fortunatelly!!
After the first attempt with eBay, I have decided to invest a bit more money and ordered a leather case from PDair:
qqq.pdair.com/index.php/ebook-reader-tablet/huawei/huawei-mediapad/leather-case-for-huawei-mediapad-book-type-black.htmk
(in the URL please replace qqq with www and htmk with html)
You can buy it directly from PDair for $80. This is quite a lot of money. But PDair's reseller for Middle East sells the same case ("book type") for $60:
tbeyond.com/leather-case-for-huawei-mediapad-book-type-black-p-14363.htmk
(in the URL please replace htmk with html)
Free Worldwide Shipping. Even though the reseller is based in United Arab Emirates, the case came from Hong Kong. Delivery to Germany was without any problems.
My experience with the case from PDair: The case is simply excellent. I highly recommend it. It is worth the money:
PROS:
- durable black leather
- magnets! It closes with magnets
- the tablet fits nicely into the case (in contrast to the cheap case from eBay - see post from lilaliend)
- all holes (front and rear cameras, USB and HDMI ports, charger) are precisely where they should be
CONS:
- the case is rather thick. They use multiple layers of leather (you can see it on the pictures on the PDair website). So the tablet is really well protected. But with the case you can not put the tablet into your back pocket...
TMobile Incipio case for Springboard has dropped in price
If you were to shop for it now on the TMobile site the Incipio case is now $29. That's about $15 to maybe $20 cheaper than when I bought it earlier in the year. ARGH!
I do love my case though. The only thing that's bad is when you are in portrait mode and the front cover doesn't sit nicely back when holding it in that position.
Marware Jurni
I wanted a case that had a zippered closure, for added protection. I had this case from when I had purchased the Kindle Fire. But I decided to see if it would fit the Springpad. It does, with a bit of sanding or cutting.
This is an option if you are willing to sand down or cut two nibs from the top two clips. Each clip has two nibs, the one you want to sand down or cut is the one on the right for each clip. I have attached some pictures so you can see the zippered case and the two clips above, and a close up of the cut. Mine is a bit sloppy, but hey, I'm not complaining. See pictures.

Great... I am happy with my incipio but I got this off ebay because it would be nice to prop it in portrait mode. I guess I could report how well it does when it comes.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brown-Magic...7-SLIM-MediaPad-SPRINGBOARD?item=270998785548
this is my combo "temporary" case and universal stand. :laugh:
still looking for a folio-type case and I just got news that the local distributor here already has stocks and giving it for free for new buyers of MediaPad. :silly:
I wanted a case that protects the corners, could prop up the MediaPad in landscape and (!) did not cover the front (like some cases that cover the bezel around the display).
Turns out that this case for the Lenovo Ideapad A1 fits just fine. Only the hole for the camera is in the wrong place, but I don't use the Pad's camera anyway. Nice sleek design. Reeks of plastic/glue the first few days, but the smell wears off quickly and then you have a smart-looking case for your MediaPad.
Apparently this case comes with different names around the globe. Have a look at the pictures and see what's available in your country.
Hi
I'm using the EasyAcc Case for nearly a year now.
It fits great, exept the hole for the frontcamera could be a milimeter bigger.
I do not know, in it is available outside Germany.

Yup, i saw them too. Not very expensive, on the photo it is looking good also. So if Bobjgear's cover is not coming this month i will order this one.
And almost anything comes from China nowadays

haha,, No I meant that it would take ages to get here. lol.. I'm bout to pull the trigger. I like my moko case but I like these type of cases better.
This is what I've been looking for.
Ordered June 27, arrived July 6 (west coast)
Comes in a large envelope so it's not folded. Even in a thin, by now squashed box. Get a free cloth too. No 'off' smells to it.
I ordered black. The 'silicone' description does not exactly match my description of silicone - like some pen barrels, an Incipio iPod case or a Belkin Gripswell iPad case. It's got a fine pebble grain to it.
All the ports have openings. Power & Volume buttons are covered.
For the price it's great. Thanks NJ_RAMS_FAN.

Nice. I think my got lost in the mail. I still haven't received it and I order like 5 days before you. I just emailed them. Of course it comes from overseas but looks like it ships pretty quick.
BobjGear's are available here:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aag/main?i...etplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&seller=A3SQAI9BQY42F6
Picked one up myself.
Mine had a tracking number - it was spot on. Though it spent 2 days in SF. Unlike some items ordered from China there was no hanky panky here. This one did not say "sample" or "gift" on the label.
After a day I took it off and washed it with dish detergent, the feel to the case is now better than just out of the box.
Price is 16.99 shipped.
Just thought I'd share my experience with this case
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00MV9TPEU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Really, really good. Fits perfectly. Protects the back as well. Magnet works with screen on/off. Only bad thing is that it doesn't stand up very well, but after a bit of effort mine stands up, while being abit wobbly. Only £8 and 100% worth it.
bought it and it works beautifully, Thanks for the advice. also, after bending the separator and flexing it multiple time, the magnet seems to latch on better and now i can use the case as a stand.
great cover for the price

agreed. got this one as well today, and the magnet works like a charm. for a tenner, this cover is a steal.
Received my Exact case yesterday as well and yes I will recommend this case. Good fit and works well for the price.
I bought this one but for much less 2 months ago (about € 10,-):
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00NCZ0BMM?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
Received mine this morning and even though the build quality is great and it fits brilliantly, the magnet was way to weak to hold it up when the front cover is folded. even tried flexing it a bit to loosen it up but no luck at all. went back same say and ordered an ivso one instead. shame really as i had a similar one before and the magnets were incredibly strong.

I just bought one of these and sent it back. Made out of cardboard. I've had happy meals that had stronger boxes. Really bulky to hold when it's open too. It doesn't fold back evenly to hold onto. Skip that one. Go with the poetic case. Might be bulky but seems to be the only one I'd recommend.

Just wanted to say, thanks for the suggestion. I was weary due to the fact it was only $10 and was by a company I hadn't heard of. But after receiving it, it feels great. It is one of the few cases for a device I have ever had that does not wiggle slightly. It actually is a very snug and great fit to the device. And as long as you try to bend the lid a little after getting it, it will stand up perfectly. I also love the fact that it doesn't just depend on the devices magnets to keep the lid shut. It has magnets built in to the edge of the case so that the lid has something stronger to hold on to, I used to have an iPad with a smart cover and hated how it would sometime open up on its own because the magnet was weak, but I don't see this being an issue on this case/cover
