I am shopping around for a case on my new phone before it arrives. I came across this case by Cimo which is $5.00 and looking at the images and description is seems like it is too good to be true what do you guys think? Can they be scamming? It has no reviews yet either so i am hesitant. Looks to have all the bells and whistles of the other $15-20 cases and i see no promo or anything it is straight off the bat $5.00.

I'd imagine that it'd be a safe bet. Amazon will intervene in the event that it's a scam. I am considering ordering it just for the hell of it myself. My thought on the low price....it may be a new product/design and they're trying to get it out there and into users hands hoping for further sales...
Eh hell, I just ordered it for fun to see how it goes....I'll let ya know how it goes.

I mean i know Amazon has our back but still you cant be too safe these days. I saw they have lot of reviews and popular models but it seemed so fishy to me that they would be selling something that offers this much quality for only $5.00 Spigen has similar cases for $15.00 and that makes you think twice. But thanks for the advice. I am thinking about getting the Turquoise which color did you order?

I did black, since that's the phone color I have
I think it might be a new model. Not uncommon to see a crazy deal for that kinda thing. Wouldn't be surprised to see the price go up to $12 or $15 in next few weeks....
If you think about it, Samsung (free GearVR and 6 games) and T-Mobile (free year Netflix) are doing the same to get the S7 units flowing out the door fast and furious.
I currently have clear TPU on it. I don't know why I always order them...I think they'll look good, then forget that they just end up looking cloudy with fingerprints haha.
I gotta say, if that turns out to be a nice case, thank you. I haven't had a chance to really dig through all the available accessories for this device just yet.
I also saw the case with this post looks very good for the price definately worth trying out. Lets see how the blue/gold combo turns out. Worst case you can return it Amazon is the best in the customer service business besides Costco that i know of and maybe Ebay sometimes with that money back guarantee.
Amazon all the way here for cust svc. Ebay takes 2 weeks before they'll step in if there's a problem. With Amazon, I had a mattress that I bought...didn't like it. They gave me a full refund and let me keep it. Refund processed same day as call. That's crazy good customer service.
I'm looking forward to this case.

Actually this case is even cheaper free shipping and under $5 for a case of this quality. Im going to order this one as well. These deals are getting lower and lower every time a flagship is released.

Sweet! Then you can start a thread "Review of my $5 case collection"
I'm getting in on the freebie TechMatte glass screen protector offer.
Man this phone is becoming cheap to protect. Normally I've spent $30 or so to protect it. This time? Under $8.
Don't think there's anything wrong with this one. It's a safe bet. Worst case scenario is you have a dud $5 case.

None of the promo codes work tried 3 of them for their respective case all come back not a valid promo code
For the guys who wanted an update: I got my case its great feels really good and fits really snug i love it. Here is a review of the case someone made (not me) if you guys are wondering what it feels and looks like live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufTroV7bU8g
You still using this case? How's it holding up and does the bottom part come off easily? I'm wondering if it'll fall off when I'm pulling the phone out of my pocket.

Where is the cheapest place to buy one the lowest price I found was on amazon which is the same as a close store,
I also want to get a good case for it, after I buy I plan on installing Vegan rom so any suggestions on where To buy it?
Not on fleabay. You will mostlikely get hosed. Many people have had good luck with woot.com and tigerdirect.
You could probably look in the general forum and see if another gtaber is selling one. We see ones with cases and extra schwag going for the same price as new all the time.
There's a Woot! Off going on, today - there's a chance that they might add the GTAB at some point, and most likely for $285 if they do.

It is possible to find a good deal on e-bay, just make sure to know what your maximum bid will be, for what you get.
I got mine there, paid $300 for the package that included the G-Tablet, a case for it (would pay $20 plus shipping from electronic crap) and a bluetooth GPS that amazon sells for $35. So, in all, I pretty much got the G-Tablet for under $245.
The "CLIP" on electroniccrap is perfect for the gtab. Although it blocks access to the full size usb port.
http://electroniccrap.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=25
I think I'm just gonna buy from the store, I don't want it used ofc I like the feeling of opening box :3
Ya I think staples is selling it down the street at least that's what good says for the same price that it is on amazon.

Currently, 10" gtab is on sale in Tigerdirect.com on $270 (use coupon code: FDQ33784) with free shipping (ends by 6/15). That is the same price I bought from Woot.com in April. If you want a good case, you can try electroniccrap.com. They have many custom design cases for gtab and good service. I hope it will help you to get into gtab world easier.
Thanks for the advice ;o Tho im not sure if im gonna buy by the 15 was waiting more towards the end of the month I guess we will see.
Just picked one up at the TD store in Buffalo Grove, and the dam thing has a white line down the left side of it, but the battery was completely dead so I will give it a charge and see... I got the in store price of 299, and I talked them into the 30 bux off.. ... Then picked up a belkin case for 25, so not bad..
It came with 1.2-4???? will play with it in a bit once it's charged, but might have to take it back..
Will re-rom soon..
Make sure you guys visit gtab for dummies page.
I just seen them on Tiger Direct for $269.00 yeaterday

I got mines last month from a local Office Depot for $299.99. It seems that is they regular price for the Gtab. Sears also has it for the same price but their stock is depleted locally.

well just because it has the 1.2 bootloader doesn't mean you have a big loss on your part. There are plenty of choices for the 1.2 bootloader.
If you don't mind picking one up used, but in good condition.. check Craigslist out. I scored mine for $180 with all original accessories, including the foam sleeve that it comes in. Not a scratch on it!!
Edit: sellout.woot has them for $249.99 + $5 shipping today. That is a sweeeeet price for a brand new one!
PDair has some new cases for the Transformer. Here is the link: http://www.pdair.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=11000659_11001250_11001251
Has anyone bought one yet?
Here are some pictures of the different types.
Ouch! They seem rather expensive. Are they worthy of the cost?

If you keep the Transformer for at least 5 years then yes.
So my opinion is no.
That must have a built in battery as well!
I am a firm believer in you get what you pay for. I keep reading about the other cases ripping and being all loose after a few day. So its up to you I personally have bought a PDair case just waiting for it to arrive.

Sweet tell me how it is when you get it.
Sent from my Nexus S
I've bought phone cases from them in the past and the quality has been really good. I am considering getting this case as well since the others seem to get bad reviews.
If I remember correctly it takes awhile for shipping but my be well worth it.
Please let us know how you like it when it comes in.
Damn, even if you get what you pay for, over $100? You can pay way less and still get a good quality case...granted for the transformer they may not be out yet. The case crown case released recently seems promising. I'm waiting for roocase's version to get released.
CaseCronw is releasing standby case today and it looks promising..i see that the other cases they sell for other tablets have gotten pretty good review.. i just wanted to get some opinions before i jump on this..anyone else thinking of getting or ordered it already?..

Looks nice and under $20. Assuming this is fulfilled by Amazon like their other products, I might have to pick one up.
edit: There's a video in the reviews for the iPad version. Looks great! Tight fit and very thin.
http://www.amazon.com/CaseCrown-App...Y8CR6S3G5&s=electronics&qid=1308957186&sr=1-1
checking out shows $26.56 with tax and shipping.. can this item be fulfilled by amazon at some point? i think i still might jump on this, its still cheaper than most other cases.
Damn, I'm tempted to get this. I've been wanting a good case and I already have a carrying case by case crown. But Roocase's case seems like a better option because its multi angle.
Ill probably pull the trigger on this sometime this week. I just want the thinnest stand case possible. The multi angle is less important to me than being thin and light. Most of the others are bulky and if I wanted something an inch thick that protects the screen I could just just carry the keyboard dock.
The pics on Amazon of the CaseCrown look identical to the case (Jazz) I bought from Steve over at electroniccrap.com..
http://electroniccrap.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=34_36&products_id=51
The flap on the back and the way it tucks, along with the viewing angle and case material seem quite comparable...
I'm happy with the Jazz...fit is good and material is decent, especially given the price point....is rather difficult to type at the given angle...I think I would prefer something with multiple viewing/typing angles and a little better quality material...but again, for the price paid it is a good option...I'm betting the CaseCrown will give similar results...
Ryan...should give you the thin, light case you are looking for...that was my main need and am satisfied from that standpoint...
Is this about the thinnest and lightest we can expect from a fold over case like that?
I'm getting tired of not being able to bring my transformer out due to not having any protection. Stingray, you're making me want this case even more so I hope I'm not disappointed after I order it.
Actually now that I look at it the pictures, it seems like the jazz might even be thinner than the casecrown? It's hard to tell but maybe I'm just seeing things?
Went ahead and pulled the trigger, worth trying for 25.
Finally a case built specifically for the transformer that looks decent! Definitely looking to get this. Can anyone confirm whether or not the tablet docks correctly WITH THE CASE ON?
None of them are built with the case accommodating the dock. It would pretty much require the entire bottom to be cut out.

TuffLuv will work with dock but is expensiveand the bottom is mostly cut out.

Has anyone got this shipped yet? It says in stock july 5th?
just thought i'd throw in my 2 cents here. i just bought 10 CaseCrown iPad2 standby cases for upper management at work and they are really nice cases. one of my friend had one and after messing with it, i liked it enough to recommend to the execs. as soon as the case came up on amazon for the TF i ordered one immediately.
i highly recommend CaseCrown.
Just got an "out of stock" email. They said resupply by Jul 8. Debating cancelling my order.

Got an auto email Friday stating they will ship Jun 27th but got nothing so shouted email to them and they stated they did not have enough stock to meet the preorders, next stock they receive is no later than July 8th. I threatened to cancel so they are willing to discount $3 if I wait till then. I preordered Jun 15.
I am in Canada and don't know how these guys ship so I may get this case by August. HA, HA!
Weird, just checked my email and they state it has been shipped.?

The dock compatibility has the downside of exposing the bottom to possible dust and impact. Only way I see a case supporting dock to be fully protective when undocked is if it had some kind of detachable bottom for when you need to actually dock, Probably would be good if it was held in by tiny pop-in buttons of sorts and with a as small a presence as possible so it doesn't cause any discomfort in holding the tablet.
Have been checking out the Gumdrop Droptech cases for a while.
I like their ruggedness.
I need something I can use at work in an industrial environment.
Today I saw they had the case for the TF201 Prime on pre-order.
Ordered one straightaway.
Hope they start production soon.
http://www.gumdropcases.com/asus-prime.html
very nice looking, I need something like this so I can let my kids use my prime. I called to see when it would be available. The customer service lady I talked to put me on hold to ask the designer when it would be available. He said towards the end of April. I probably wont pre-order but I will definitely be keeping an eye on this.

The more people that pre-order. The sooner production will start.
So if you are willing to buy eventually, why not pre-order now?
Nice looking case, but $60? I could see spending that for a case that covers the dock as well, or at least works with it. Their competition makes ipad cases that look almost identical for less than half the price...

I wont pre-order because the only thing keeping this case from being perfect is the lack of a stand. I watch ALOT of movies. So I will wait until it's actually available before i put my money on it. I was told towards the end of april, which sounded pretty firm. If that time comes and I still haven't found a good case then I will buy it.
The whole idea of getting enuff preorders in sounds good but I'm pretty sure a lot of prime owners have trouble beleiving a preorder will ever be fullfilled. Kinda like the champaign prime I ordered from best buy lol
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
I put in my order. I need a rugged case. I hope it comes sooner than end of April though. I emailed trident and they replied they would not be making a case. Doesn't look like otterbox will either. So this is my only hope. Does anyone know of a different hardcore case like this out now?
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk
I would LOVE to get that case but the 60 bucks is making me second guess. Will probably wait until some people around here get them or I read a few reviews on how it looks and works with the Prime before I do anything. Thanks for the heads up though
If the designer can produce something close in terms of aesthetics, then I'm onboard.
I really appreciate the thickness and masculinity that this case appears to provide for the TFP.
$60 really isn't that bad, considering a standard Otterbox Defender series case is $50.

Gumdrop did not post my review
I tried to post a less than stellar review of the case and Gumdrop did not post it. The screen protector makes the screen not very responsive so I have removed the screen protector to get the responsiveness I wanted. Just a heads up that they censor the reviews on the website. I give the case 2 stars.
This case looks very bulky and uber pricey too. Sort of takes away from the whole ethos of wafer thin tablet aswell.
Damn..that's a sick looking case. Wonder how much weight it adds to the tab.
sick sick case!
So my Aunt saw my Galaxy Note 3 weeks ago. Last Easter weekend, when we saw each other again, I was surprised that she bought one too.
Anyway, I tried it and noticed right away how awesome her screen protector was. Of course, she didn't know anything about it and I'm 100% sure she got ripped off by the AT&T store (reseller, not corporate). So I called the AT&T reseller store and asked what skin she installed on my Aunt's note.
It was the "Wireless Solutions Anti-Glare/Anti-Fingerprint Screen Protectors"
After doing some research on where I could buy it online. Of course, I check the seller from resellerratings,etc. But unfortunately, I can't find any review from the stores I found it was selling. After looking further, I became confused if this are legit sites. Anyway, here are my findings.
I found that you can buy here:
http://www.buywirelessnow.com/smartwireless/buy/accessories/cat/617/accessory/1256578
and amazon here:
http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Solutions-SCRNI717ANT2PKSDL-Anti-Glare-Anti-Fingerprint/dp/B007B6YO2Q
First of all, I thought the amazon one was good, but the picture looks like the international version of the note. Even though the manufacturer part # is for the at&t note.
Now, I'm not sure if buywireless is a legit site. I would like to risk $9.99 but of I would still prefer amazon just to be sure.
Anybody shopped from buywireless.com? Or anybody tried that screen protector?
By the way, the screen protector was really awesome. It had better spen accuracy compared to my el cheapo screen protector. I really want to get this. Please help.
Thanks
EDIT: I forgot to mention that AT&T authorized reseller store is selling it for $25. Ripoff.
UPDATE:
Ok I bought one of these from an AT&T store (reseller, not corporate) because it was $15.
It is the worst $15 ever spent. Don't buy this. It makes the screen rainbow-like (I dont know how to describe it).
Does anti-glare/anti-smudge make this in general? Like rainbow like?
Thanks

I personally have the Glass and absolutely love it. It is well worth the money and even if it doesn't prevent all the figure prints, it does stop a good amount.
As for the scratch protection, that's what I really bought it for. Think about it $35 now or $200+ later.

P.S. Take your time when doing the Glass, I also recommend you do this right after a shower. I have a pesky spec of dust on my screen but I'm afraid that taking it off would not adhere properly. It's not worth $35 to get a spec a dust out haha...
