Right guys, my quest for a case is still on.
I have decided to go for a leathery feel half shell type case.
The only problem is that all the half shell ones I look at dont protect the framing around the screen too well, especially the bottom.
Does anyone here know of a nice slim case that basically covers the phone as comprehensivley as a silicone cover does but is obviously leather(ette).
Guys I really appreciate your help.
I have never really found one that provides as much protection as a rubber/silicon one. I've tried this one out and it was ok but it didn't cover as much as I wanted.
Let us know if you find anything!
yes that case seems to give plenty of protection but it is too bulky. I may be resigned to getting a silicone one .
does anyone know of any that aren't too sticky and slim that can easily go in and out of pockets.
I will order this case http://cgi.ebay.com/BLACK-Transpare...id=p4634.c0.m14.l1262&_trkparms=|293:1|294:30
needed screen protectors and saw this case - it protects all but the screen - thats why I took it!
when I get it ill post on the feel of it! :d
Hey. Ebay items, especially at $5 tend to be risky however the video does kinda entice you. Did you order a black one? If you click on the choose colors, they are $1 more.
OEM HTC S430 at $18 seems steep if this will suffice, let us hear from you when you get it.

That looks identical to the one I got from Boxwave. Let me know if it's nice because the Boxwave one is great. Doesn't stick and it slides in and out of a pocket well.

Have you got it yet.
It looks exactly what I need.
Is it cheap looking or sticky in and out of the pocket?

Looking for a case for my TF, want only to cover back and sides of the tablet.
And I want it to be non slippery, there are lots of these for cellphones but
where can I find it for the TF?

I haven't seen one yet. Someone else may have, but in my experience, it's hard to make silicone that big without either tearing or stretching pretty quickly. What about a bumper like the iPhone 4, where it only wraps around the sides, but the rear section of it is thick enough that the back of the tablet doesn't touch the table when it's set down? I think it would relieve some of the stress from the silicone, and I could use a stretchier mix to keep it tight. I'd kind of like that, and if enough people are interested I can give it a shot, I don't make cases for a living or anything, but I have some friends with a 3D prototyper and a whole bunch of industrial AB silicone. (Yes, I have weird friends.)
That sound quite interesting, I could be interested in one of those.
When using it now without a case I think it's kinda slippery.
I think one of those would give a better grip of the tablet.
What about dropping it, do you think the silicone will absorb the drop?

As much as it could, obviously. The problem is that it won't be much thicker than a silicone case for a phone, but the device is much heavier. Hence, more inertia. I'll grab some chunks of different mixes and test them by dropping a Transformer analog on them. Just FYI, I'm actually using a really large(and wide) rubber band right now to protect my TF's corners/edges. My belt buckle and watch tend to contact the sides of the TF every once in a while, so it keeps that pretty "gold steel" bezel from scratching. I'll see if I can figure out where I got it from in the meantime.

It actually drew blood when I snapped someone with it. That's how big it is.

Great find. A quick look on ebay shows Xoom silicone cases for as low as $5 shipped. Hopefully more suppliers we be offering these soon and prices for the a Transformer silicone sleeve will drop similarly.
I'm looking for a case too and found this (it's for netbooks?) but would this be ok for the transformer too? I want to use it for tablet + dock. Are there better suggestions?

Durability is an issue with most of my samples. Hopefully someone will post regarding the Sikai's durability. I've got some different samples coming, will update when I've tested them.

Have placed an order on Sikais Silicone Case now, will take about 15 days for delivery.
Hopefully Otterbox will come out with something - they are a local company here in Fort Collins CO! I'll try and find out from one of the local reps

If that's anything like the silicone case I got for my PSP, you don't want it. Far too thin to provide any real protection, doesn't fit snugly, looks misshapen and ugly because it's near impossible to get it perfectly straight, and the thing is a dust and lint / hair magnet like you wouldn't believe.
I literally haven't used it at all since the first time I tried it.

Got my Sikai silicone case today.
It looks really nice BUT, it doesn't provide a snug fit.
I'm scared that it will slip out of the cover. Each four sides are very loose,
only the corners offers a snug fit.
If @msticninja have any questions lets here them, I want to help you
create that cover you talked about.

Can you dock with the sikai silicone case? I would also like to see pictures too. Thanks!
I find the smart cover case of my iPad 2 is ideal for typing in "landscape keyboard" mode. I haven't found any cases on eBay etc that do this except some really bulky/fugly ones. Has anyone found anything elegant/thin along the lines of the iPad 2 smart cover yet? I realize the GT7.7 doesn't have the logic to turn off when the cover is closed, I can live without that!
The original Samsung OEM case/cover looks very nice but doesn't seem to stand on its own in landscape keyboard mode

As long as the surface is not overly smooth, the Samsung Original Book Cover case does stand in landscape (thanks to rubber strips that adds friction). See pics. May not *look* especially stable, but it does seem to hold out nicely.
Ironically, I would like to see a case that allows my tab to stand in portrait mode, since I'm more likely to read that way. Never seen one before.
I have a case similar to the official iPad1 case. Very slim and snug fit. Doesn't add much to the size of the device, keeping the original slimness. Its faux leather on the outside and suede cloth inside. It has the same standing mechanism as the iPad1 case too. Comes in a few colours, I got the brown one.
I've been looking for exactly this type of case and was amazed they are made. I believe I can post images now and so I'll put some up later.

A similar one popped up on eBay last night for $25. Seller is in HK of course. What site did you find this on?
Tmall.com taobao.com
chinese webiste
that one cost RMB120
I found it at http://www.minihotsale.com/rock-sam...blet-light-cool-folio-leather-case_p1435.html
$35 shipped, not terrible. I like that it doesn't intrude on the bezel the way some of the other folios do.
Thanks cyuet for pointing me in the right direction! Will advise once received.
looks good

Thats the one. I personally prefer cases that give all round protection and this case does that. I find cases that only grip the corners can come loose over time, and badly made ones have terrible tolerances and may not even adequetly hold the device.
Thanks

I also think that a case like the smart cover for the ipad2 is ideal for the tab 7.7. I have seen those for the 10.1 and 8.9 on ebay, and I am pretty sure they will pop up for the 7.7 soon.
Nothing from Zenus or SGP yet?

I got it today, 128 RMB + shipment from taobao.com , the quality is very nice
UK based case for £8.99
I just received this case i bought from ebay for the bargain price of £8.99 in the UK and delivered from the UK too.
Very pleased with it! I've tried the official case but this is much better. It even has magnets on the flap to stop it flapping open when carrying.

That's basically exactly the same as the one I posted above except my link is cheaper and located in the UK (minus the screen protector but they are pence anyway)
The one I ordered also has better protection at the bottom

I snagged this one as it closely resembles the one I really like for my GTab 7+. Will post up pictures when I get it.
Hey everyone, I was looking into buying this S tablet, and before I do I wanted to make sure I knew which accessories I was going to pick up with it so that I was covered from the get go.
Besides a dock or two, I've been looking for a sleeve that will allow me to easily slide my tablet in from the side. So far I've only seen sleeves that use a zipper to close it, and/or open along the long edge.
I know most people want a protective casde, but what I'm looking for is something that will let me slide the S tablet in from the side, and uses a magnetic/velcro flap along the short side to enclose the tablet and keep it from sliding out. Don't need much else than that really. Maybe a pen holder, but that's far from necessary.
Any recommendations?
I tried this.
bugatti
And I like it.
Thank you for the quick response!
That is very close to what I'm looking for. I almost picked one up, but I wasn't a fan of the big "Bugatti" writing on one side. The Gray/Red design on their main website almost pulled out a debit card to purchase.
But, I think I'm going to lean towards something more plain.
I finally found one on Amazon: "Search" CaseCrown Vertical Neoprene Case
^^ Still haven't met the post requirement for live links.
I'd love to see other people's impressions on sleeves if that's the route they went. What they found that works. If there were any sleeves that offered functional extras.
I got the all black one so you can't even see the bugatti logo 99% of the time.

Hello all
Am sure this is probably one of the number one questions, so sorry to post it one more time, but am looking for a case for my 8.4 an was looking for some suggestions.
Want something that obviously covers the screen, but can fold back 100% so I can lay it flat on the desk.
But would really want for it to fold as a stand too.
Hopefully can be tough as I work in some harsh environments, as well an in part due to this too, don't need it to fancy, an might think leather would be out, but would be easy to clean an not absorbent such as a cloth like material.
Oh, an am not looking for a key board, as well am hoping to keep the price down.
So as can be seen, is kinda why I posted as while I find some of the above, I don't find all of it, but I get too that I have to get what's out there, but just hoping I might benefit from others who have come before me to find as close to what all my needs are.
Thanks for any help.
