Advent Vega Folio Case
I have had my Advent Vega for around a month now and have been concerned about keeping it safe. So a trip to Curry's i picked up the advent vega folio case.
First impressions of the case were good the device slides nicely into the case (although it could be a bit tighter) Giving good protection to the edges of the device. I am confident it would protect from light knocks and possibly minor drops.
There are cut outs for the i/o ports, even the microphone is visible. One of the few bad points is there is no cut outs for the speakers, so the volume needs to be increased.
The material is similar to my v-smart Armour case for my desire hd, a matte black with a textured finish. The pinstripe design inside is odd but not unattractive and there is a compartment for paperwork. The case also doubles as a easel, which is great for propping on the desk or coffee table for movie watching.
Overall, I think this case adds a small amount of bulk for the level of protection and for anybody with any worries about damaging there beloved advent vega, this is a must buy
Edit: Added some pics. Sorry for the poor quality
I am searching daily for a TPU gel skin/case for the vega or its various other variants, but so far I've had no luck, If anyone sees any around then pls let me know!
Hello all
The stock case from dixons et al was to expensive to ask for me xmas pressie.
Is it worth it?
Ive seen other cases at a similar price with a usb keyboard build in, anyone got any experiences of those? (with the usb fix obviously).
or, is the std vega case worth the outlay?
Im also more interested with pound shop ipad screen covers than the 12! pound dixons/curries/pcw ones.
Again, any personal experiences?

I got one of these HP Sleeves from DIXONs, about £21
this was after hearing that the cost v quality of the Advent case wasn't all that..
Its a well made sleeve, its neoprene so fairly water resistant I assume and the Vega rests on it nicely at the right angle for viewing and typing into without slipping off..
I'm really happy with the official case as it offers some decent functionality and a good bit of protection.
Just need to get a dock now!
Definitely looking at getting a folio style case like the official Vegas one, though that one's a bit expensive at the moment. They should really realise that people paying a budget price for the device itself aren't likely to pay a premium for the accessories.

Two days ago I tried the official Toshiba Folio 100 case on my Vega (Mobii 10) and it fitted very well!
And it serves as a stand too!
(look here and click on accessories)
I didn't buy it because of the price: € 39,99 (about 33 GBP)
And I would really love a case with a USB keyboard...
I guess there's none yet that fit's the Vega perfectly without blocking the USB port...
I have ordered one of these:
Leather Case for 10.2" Epad Zenithink Android 2.1 ZT180
From ebay ->
Once received I will report back.
if you can be patient this offering for the upcoming XOOM looks fantastic

not sure what the dimensions for the xoom are though ..

Has yet to arrive, but for £5 delivered I am not expecting miracles. Lots of people on Modaco have got them from various suppliers, mixed reviews tbh.
Advent Vega Folio Case
I really dont think £29.99 is a massive amount for a case. Most cases i get for my mobile phones are between £15-£20 and they are about 1/6th the size. I think the official case offers good value for the protection it offers.
Hey
I have the Advent case. I got it from my brother as a Christmas present. When I got it the Vega fit pretty snug and I didn't have to worry about what way I carried it. however after not even a month the Vega now slips out quiet easily.
For the price I'd have to say not worth it and I'd hold off for alternatives

That one from 7dayshop is for an iPad which is quite a bit smaller, so wouldnt expect that one to fit.
Currys now sell a tablet sleeve for the Vega, i cant post links due to post count, but it can be found searching for Tablet Sleeve
I'm also after a decent fitting case

Spot on, about 30mm too short!
As 7DS didn't list dimensions, I incorrectly assumed they were selling the 1 size fits all item that most are buying. Ah well.

[Review] Zec Electronics "FolioGuard" (Multi-Angle) case for Asus eeePad Transformer
Introduction:
Its been an exciting couple of months for Asus eeePad Transformer owners. First there was the tablet launch itself, followed quickly by a couple of firmware updates. Then, there was the keyboard dock with its own set of teething problems corrected (largely) by another round of firmware updates. Now, we're all gearing up for the improvements that Honeycomb 3.1 brings us (and by the time you read this, hopefully we'll all be enjoying a smoother UI, re-sizable widgets, better YouTube performance and increased USB device support). Fo' sho', exciting times indeed!
Throughout it all however, the accessories side of things has been the one area where there's been little movement - until now..
To begin with, Asus threw their hat into the ring with the "official" folio case. With a design largely (ahem) "adapted" from Apple's official iPad first gen case, it was a functional but somewhat overpriced solution in many peoples' opinion. In addition, we all quickly discovered that pretty much any neoprene sleeve designed for 10" netbooks would do in a pinch - I myself bought a cheapie from Amazon Uk which certainly does the basics but little else.
In spite of this though, I really missed being able to protect my shiny new toy in a case that offered ergonomics comparable to the lovely "Yoobao Magic Case V4" that I eventually settled on for my IPad.
Yep, I'll admit to being a little worried on first purchasing my Transformer; worried that it wouldn't receive the same level of third-party accessory support as the iPad and that I'd struggle to find a similar case/sleeve that ticked the right boxes for what I wanted in a case. Those "boxes" in no particular order, being:
Adjustable multi-angles for lap/tabletop usage
Hold the tablet securely in the case giving access to all the ports, buttons etc..
Easy access to the tablet to remove it from the case if required.
Sturdy.
Acceptable amount of additional bulk/weight.
I should add at this point, that what was less important for me (though I know it IS a factor for many of you with the Keyboard dock) was the ability to leave the tablet in the case whilst docked.. I've been kicking around some possible ideas on how it could be done and none of them felt that great given the physical constraints of the docking mechanism - we may have to resign ourselves to the fact it may not actually be possible to provide an "elegant" solution; however, being able to get the tablet quickly in and out of its folio case would certainly go some way to mitigating the problem if nothing else.. perhaps worth discussing some other time?
With the arrival of the Zec Electronics Folio Guard range, we're finally starting to see some alternative products emerge that are custom designed for the eeePad Transformer, so let's not waste any more time and get down to business..
So, where are we? Oh yeah, this review takes a look at the new "FolioGuard" Multi-Angle case from Zec Electronics in China. As I understand it, they're producing a range of products and the case I'm reviewing sits in the middle of their price range. After seeing photos of the pre-production samples in a thread here on XDA, it struck me how similar in design their multi-angle case was to the Yoobao Magic Case V4 for the first-gen iPad. Now this is no bad thing, as over the last year I tried out quite a few cases for my iPad and eventually settled on the Yoobao for exactly the reasons highlighted in the Introduction earlier..

During the course of this review, I'll be sharing some thoughts and pics of the Folioguard alongside the IPad in its Yoobao Magic Case, giving my impressions on how the two compare to give you a bit of perspective
Initial Impressions:
On reciving the Folioguard I was pleasantly surprised to find a well made unit, no obvious stitching or other construction faults. Sturdy in all the right places but not "built like a tank" sturdy, like say the Tuff Luv MultiView (and not nearly as bulky either). Compared also to the Yoobao its also a bit slighter/flimsier but not to the point that I could see the Folioguard failing in its protection duties where the Yoobao would've succeeded - this case will protect your Asus baby just fine! The material isn't leather, but a synthetic material (PU) that feels nice to the touch and is quite understated which I happen to prefer.
Design:
Zec Electronics have taken care to ensure that all of the exterior features of the Transformer are fully accessible; which already puts it one up on the official case. There are cut aways for the Docking/Charging port, the two dock fixing points either side, MicroSD, miniHDMI and headphone ports, power and volume buttons, both speaker grilles, front/rear camera and light sensor. All of which are well positioned (although you still can't charge the tablet with the case closed due to the postion and folding direction of the main flap). I can however confirm that in testing both front and rear cameras, neither were obscured by the respective holes - the kind of small detail that shows this case has been put together with a good deal of thought and attention.
In terms of keeping the case on whilst docking the tablet, I'm afraid its not going to happen. In all honesty, any case following a similar design is going to have a difficult if not impossible job accomodating the keyboard dock - as I mentioned above, the tight fit of the dock's swiveling docking area takes no prisoners. Its going to take some creative thinking to make it happen, but for me at least this was by no means a deal breaker and I'll explain why...
Slipping the Transformer into the case was a breeze which was much appreciated (importantly ticking off the "easy access" box - that should result in a lot less frustration for those of us with keyboard docks). On the left hand side theres a flap that pulls out. In pops the tablet and back goes the flap. Simple, job done in a few seconds! The flap will hold the tablet in place if you suspend it on its side (leaving the flap side to the mercy of gravity).. and only after some pretty vigourous shaking was I able to get the Transformer to slip just a little bit - but then who's going to be mad enough to do that deliberately!
There are magnetic fastners in the bezel portion of the case, but they could do with being a little stronger - perhaps this can be addressed in future production runs? In any case, the FolioGuard folds shut neatly enough that you don't notice it too much
For those of you interested in numbers:
Transformer + Folioguard weighs 936g and is 18mm thick
iPad (first gen) + Yoobao Magic Case V4 weighs 992g and is 20mm thick
In Use:
I've said previously that I like the Yoobao's groved flap design for offering multiple angles and the so far at least, the FolioGuard really does it for me.
Using the tablet in any of the three available angles is simple, adjustment was quick and easy and unlike the Yoobao, the FolioGuard stays in its chosen angle despite usage pressure on the screen (this is the one area of the Yoobao I wish they'd improved.. its grooves aren't wide enough, so even remotely heavy handed touch screen use - say, during a game of Infinity Blade - can often result in the tablet unceremoniously popping out of its groove - not so with the FolioGuard which is a GOOD thing!)
During general use I found it very similar to the Magic Case which is awesome. When sofa surfing/lying down its nice that the FolioGuard gives the tablet just enough heft/bulk that you can grip it comfortably in one hand without feeling like you're squeezing it too much (and experiencing the dreaded "creak of doom"). Viewing angles are great for lap or tabletop surfing, watching movies, sharing photos etc.
(iPad in Magic Case - Left.. eeePad in FolioGuard - Right)
However, the lowest angle isn't really that low so extended periods of typing using the onscreen keyboard won't be that easy for most people - which leads me to say that there's one configuration the Yoobao has that I wish the Folioguard had also..
..with the Magic Case, its also possible to fold the main flap back on itself to provide a low profile typing angle - the best way to describe this is to get you to think of the configuration the official Asus/iPad cases offered.. The lack of a fold on the furthest back groove of the FolioGuard is probably what's stopping this from being possible (perhaps due to material/design constraints it wasn't possible without compromising the structural integrity of the case).. Again, NOT a deal breaker because that angle was mostly used by people who wanted to type extensively with the on-screen keyboard - something I and may others would now do with the dock anyway.. Still, another design consideration for "version 2" perhaps?
(Magic Case showing the fold which provides that extra-low viewing/typing angle)
Wrap Up:
So what do I think? Its a good case that certainly does the job for me, ticking most if not all of those boxes I was talking about. Sure, its not made of the highest grade materials and there are a few design considerations mentioned earlier, which may put off people looking for that "perfect" case - but is there such a thing as the "perfect case" ? If its too thin, it won't offer protection... if its too bulky, its not easy to carry.. if its made with high quality/posh materials, it's too expensive and so on and on and...
This isn't going to be a case that quality-wise, could ever compete with the higher end of the market (the hand sitched leather Vaja cases of the world) but then it isn't meant to be.. At this time, given the research I've done for Transformer cases and the many cases I've tried with my iPad - for the price - the FolioGuard can hold its head up high!
Certainly its the best case I've seen available for Asus' new shining star (and bear in mind, that in time although there will be more alternatives, the Transformer is never likely to enjoy the huge range of cases that the iPad does). To finish up, I'm putting up a couple of verdicts here, because price IS also huge consideration for many and with global markets/pricing being what they are..
Verdict (UK Users):
In the UK we're getting asked to hand over £40 for the official Asus case, compared to $40 for our US brethren - which to put it bluntly, stings in areas the sun doesn't shine. There's an alternative case being sold on EBay that from what I've read isn't nearly as good... I think that despite a few considerations (which may or may not be a problem for people), the FolioGuard does everything the official case does and more, for less of your hard earned (especially for XDA members who IIRC can enjoy a bit of a discount). I'm very happy with mine, and as long as you don't mind a bit of a wait getting it shipped from China, I think its a good price for a good product (n.b. you can always, of course, choose to pay extra for expedited shipping).
At the current exchange rate, Brits can expect to pay around £19-£20 including standard shipping for this puppy..(Less any special "XDA member" discount that may be offered, that is)
Verdict (US Users):
The FolioGuard is closer in price to the offical Asus case for you guys, but still cheaper and still - IMHO - a better bet (again, provided you're prepared to wait for shipping)
Verdict (Europe/elsewhere):
I guess its all down to exchange rates and shipping costs, versus the price of the official case and/or any alternatives you may have coming in your territories.
EXTRA
I was also fortunate enough to try out Zec Electronics' Transformer Screen Protector. This one will be brief I like it! Given that applying screen protectors to a tablet sized screen is never easy (dust free environment, getting an even bubble-free application etc.) this one went on remarkably well and overnight most if not all of the few remaining bubbles had worked themselves out.
The screen protector is cut accurately (again with holes for the camera and light sensor), reduces the screen glare, isn't too thin, feels pretty smooth to the touch and I can't discern any real drop in touch sensitivity. In fact it reminds me quite a bit of the Martin Fields screen protectors I like using on my HTC Desire. I know our lovely Transformers come with Gorilla glass, but a little insurance is never a bad thing and the added bonus of reducing the "finger-print magnet" aspect of the screen is much appreciated!
{n.b Special thanks go out to forum member XJarl for his quick and helpful communication in sorting out the review samples!
Looks like it would get the job done, but doesn't exactly hit me with the 'quality' hammer. Thanks for posting the info though. I'm currently in the process of making myself a custom leather case (going very slowly as stitching leather is a right *****). I'll post pics when I'm done. If I end up screwing mine up I might buy this one you suggest.

Indeed you had, my bad
In the forth and fifth picture, does the case really bow up like that at the top near the camera? It doesn't seem to be laying flat against the Transformer.
Nice review well laid out and comprehensive!
Unfortunately it makes my decision all the harder cause this looks reallly nice

It does a little, but the picture I took makes it look worse than it is
As I mentioned in the review, that top bezel bit doesn't seem to obscure either of the cameras - certainly not on my case. Hope this helps
Where can we get the case from?
Thanks
Check out this thread.. there are links in there near the latter pages
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075588
BTW, I'm not affiliated with Zec Electronics in any way.. just happened to be in the right place at the right time
So, does it dock to the keyboard *at all*? You say it's difficult, but not definitive.
No, you can't use the TF in the case and dock it..
I said it would be difficult (if not impossible) to design a case along similar lines and have it also work with the keyboard dock.. i'm sure there are designers out there who may come up with alternatives, but this kind of "Folio case" design just isn't the right approach..
That you can get the Transformer in and out of the FolioGuard so easily, means its less of a pain in the butt when it comes to docking - but not ideal, I'll grant you..
HTH
You mention there is no fold on the main flap to allow the case to fold to a typing angle. I wonder what the case is actually made from and if you could carefully bend/fold the main flap to allow this angle?
Thoughts?

Nice review!
I purchased this case from Electronic Crap based on this detailed review...I hope it's a true review and accurately reflects the cases pros/cons. I understand there might be some bias as the reviewer probably received the case for free but it appears to be a fair and realistic review from a "User" perspective.
The reviewer discloses his affliation with the manufacturer but this would not be good if it turns out to be a marketing ploy by the manufacturer of the case.
If this case works out...anyone want to buy my CaseCrown case for the Kindle DX on the cheap?
Hoping for the best...

Anyone got any leads on a keyboard folio / case for the tablet? I think it would be the icing on the cake for me. I'm looking to get the LTE version and replace my qwerty phone which I use 95% of the time as a pocket computer rather than phone anyways.
eBay and Amazon don't have anything yet from what I can see.

I'm honestly not concerned with the price of that item. I understand I'm in a niche realm, and am willing to pay for the features I want. Thank you for the recommendation, I've got it bookmarked for whenever the LTE version hits the stores.

Thank you for the suggestion, but I was thinking more along the lines of the previous recommendation. I'm sure alot of people don't understand, but I'm very attached to my qwerty slider phones, and am looking for a modern solution to this. For the life of me, I can't understand why in a geek driven market, more people aren't using their smart phones or tablets in IT and Engineering roles for quick code changes, responding to on-call support tickets without having to tote around a full laptop and wait to boot up, etc.. The clothing I wear has large enough cargo pockets for an 8" tablet, so if I could get one that fits with a keyboard, I'd have my next device.
Thanks
Shield tablet wireless keyboard folio-case - another option
Yeah I use mobile like that too - for everything, including gaming.
So I found a wireless KEYBOARD FOLIO CASE reviewed by someone else today and haven't tried it yet but here's the info on it (I am cross posting this data on the keyboard-case threads for this Shield tablet, on xda here, in case people find it useful):
- I came across another wireless case option (by ZAGG, it's pricey but looks very good) from a youtube post about case options for the nVidia Shield Tablet, see:
Cannot post a url here, however here's the info to be sure it's the same video I'm referring to:
v=Obs3tK8onYQ
posted title is "Nvidia Shield tablet case options"
date posted was oct 16 2014
the poster id is wr3ckn89
- I only just saw it today & cannot report my experience yet; The zagg website can show you the local retailers that carry their stuff. Only see 1 seller so far on amazon, with ridiculous wait time, and another with a 2nd 8" model specified for samsung... The zagg site does not yet list nVidia Shields, but they have an 800 number. After looking at the website, I called Zagg customer support & talked to a real person who knew the product.
- Specific model: There is only one model that fits the new nVidia Shield tablet 8", with suitable cutouts etc. - it is the "AUTOFIT" for 8". The other model for 8" tablets won't be right.
- You can find it at retailers, but you can get a 10% discount by calling them to order directly
- It ain't cheap, but it has a 1 year warranty and tech support.
- The keyboard is not backlit (they only have one model of their wireless keyboard cases that does have a backlit keyboard at this time) - BUT they are working on backlit keyboards for their other models including the AutoFit, yay.
Zagg Autofit 8"
So I went to best buy and picked up the Zagg Autofit 8" and it's such an exact fit you would think it were an aftermarket device specifically for the shield. Pairs up nice, and does what you would expect from a bluetooth keyboard. As noted in the video review that was linked above, the stylus is not accessible, and for the most part, neither is the power button. I'll probably be using a file to shave a small amount of the case down so I can access both items.
Just to be clear, the stylus is in no way accessible without detaching the tablet partially. The power button, for my sized hands, is not accessible. Unfortunately, I did not have the luck of the video reviewer in being able to use it with fingertips. Must be these giant paws of mine.
I've also paired it up with the Razor Orochi, and can now play MMO's remotely using my tablet. Looks great, full features. etc.. :victory:
maybe the Belkin keyboard would be useful?
http://www.belkin.com/uk/F5L112-Belkin/p/P-F5L112/
however, it's a separate thing rather than converting the tablet into a mini laptop
my wife has one of these keyboard cover/cases with a slot so it becomes a stand
http://www.amazon.co.uk/TECHGEAR®-Bluetooth-Wireless-Keyboard-Samsung/dp/B00FRHKRO0/ref=sr_1_1
that one is specifically for the Samsung Galaxy Note, there are variants for other tablets such as Nexus 7 and others, but I couldn't find one for the Shield tablet
looking too
while looking for some nexus 9 accessories i came up with this
DETROIT IV KEYBOARD from portdesign dot com
maybe it could fit on a nvidia shield too ?
hope it helps
Sometimes those cheap ones from ebay work very well
I had gotten this little usb keyboard for (probably) $19 a few years ago for my Nexus 7, but it fits the Shield Tablet like a glove. Makes it a mini laptop. Has a sleep key and it just works perfectly with usb otg adapter! I'm delighted!
I have personal experience of two cases, the official one (which was flimsy and broke after 2 months from wear and tear), and the Poetic Revolution full body case, which I love the protection it provides but it makes the tablet too big for the iPega 9023 controller. The tablet is mainly for emulation gaming on the go, so I essentially turn it into a gaming handheld using the iPega. But as its on the go, it needs protection, at least for the screen.
Is there any cases out there which provide suitable protection while at the same time allowing the device to still fit in the iPega 9023?

I think its hard to find one. I assumed the official cover (being just a cover for the screen, and very thin) would do the trick.
I have a ProCase SlimSnug and I detach my tablet from the case to play with the ipega 9023.
I think it's very hard that you could find a case to use with the ipega, because it'd have to be a very thin case for the back and a very very thin cover for the front.
If someone comes with a case that you can use with the ipega, count me in.
I'm struggeling to find any stores to buy the official Asus Connex and Smart backpack mount accessories. Was anyone lucky just yet?

No, and believe me I was looking too. I also tried to find a spare charger, with no luck. I mean, I found an asus site where I can theoretically order one, but the description is so laconic that I'm not sure if it's the same thing. Coming from OnePlus it seems a bit odd to me.
Don't believe it is available in NA and on ebay it is like $105 US that is a joke, okay 35 I can see, 105 not a chance. Asus better support this device longer than 2 OS
I have bought it from the Asus website for 49,99 euro. IT works as expected.
