After alot of difficult decisions, I've decided to go with the g-tablet because of the hardware and dev community. I bought it on amazon for $400 with free 2-day shipping and no taxes(Thats why I didnt go the cheaper route from sears).
I just got around to checking the tablet out at office depot and have to say, the stock software is plain crap, very slow and clunky. VEGAn here I come! haha..
The tablet should arrive wednesday morning, anyone have any ideas on a good case that also acts as a stand? I saw the kindle DX case which I really like but it wouldnt function as a stand. Thanks!
Here's what I use:
http://www.shopxscargo.com/product_catalogue/cat_product_details.asp?category_id=13&product_code=29625&sub_category_1_id=58&category=Computer%20Accessories
It doesn't function as a case, but it makes an excellent stand in both vertical and horizontal orientations.

Hey guys, I don't know if anyone has seen this yet or not. But I'll be sure to check the sears 3 minutes from my house tomorrow on if this is really for sale. Looks legit. Should fit my G, and Archos 101 pretty well maybe.
Someone bought this case for $6.00 + Tax at a Local Sears Store. I saw this on Archosfans.com This looks to be the first accessory for the G
Looks very similar to a Case logic sleeve though.

Yes it is made by Case Logic. It is neoprene, fits rather losely over the GTab but for $5.99 it does the trick. For now. They are giving them away Thursday morning (if you buy a GTab for $379.99 that is).
I hope this isn't Viewsonic's official case -- isn't that just a netbook slipcase, or am I missing something here?

What is price + shipping for the case? This seems to be the best I've seen anywhere for it and I hate to keep using my Swiss Gear netbook sleeve (the sleeve is a pita and no room for storing my G's stylus).

hi
This case looks very good. How does the stand hold up in portrait mode. if you put the tablet upright does the stand still function properly without the fear of toppling the tablet?
What is the cost and shipping time? I would like to buy one
this thread belongs in Accessories not general.
Ok, I've been looking into cheap cases for my g-tablet, and I found the following witglobal ones mentioned on the forums in a positive light:
http://witglobal.com/goods-2286-10i...for+Viewsonic+Gtablet+10+-+Free+Shipping.html
And here's one that's just a case, no KB, and now uses straps to secure it instead of the tabs (which often block ports, etc):
http://witglobal.com/goods-3531-New...onic+Gtablet+10++Zpad+T2+-+Free+shipping.html
I've got a few questions here I'm hoping you folks can help me with-
1) I like the idea of a USB keyboard to replace my netbook when travelling, but I feel like I don't want/need that all the time. My excuse for owning this in addition to a netbook is that I can use this in multiple orientations (portrait, landscape, etc) and is great to use casually handheld. I feel like a KB case would get in the way in those situations (not to mention make it roughly the same size as my netbook). Do people use the KB cases all the time or only when they want a keyboard? Does it make sense to buy both cases (a keyboard one and a non-KB one) for both scenarios?
2) I noticed that the non-keyboard version has been updated to have straps instead of tabs (holds better and doesn't block ports). Do they also make the keyboarded version with straps now? Or is that only available in tabs? I looked around and found the old tabbed $16 case, so I'm wondering if there is a new strap KB one that I'm missing?
3)Also, what is the best way to go about purchasing these? I've found them on ebay and I see their website (linked above), but I assume both will be shipping from Hong Kong and take a long time. Any US sellers with the same goods? Or a better place to purchase them from, etc?
Thanks!
Electroniccrap.com stocks several cases for the gtab (and it's run by a member here). I use the CLIP and love it. Only down side is that you can't access the full usb port while in the case.
Slim Bluetooth Keyboard + CLIP is the way to go. Built in stand with the case, and your not lugging the keyboard when you don't need it.
I've heard good things about the Clip but its pretty pricey. I bought a witglobal with clips instead of straps, see here:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Fashion-leather...?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item4aaa1ba034
the clips hold it really secure. I worry about your second link because straps can stretch. These don't block any ports. It took about two weeks exactly to get mine. A friend at work bought the same case, and it also took about two weeks. Build quality is better than I would expect for a 15$ (shipped) case. I really like the kickstand, and there are little magnets in the straps to hold them down.
I decided not to get a case with integrated keyboard, because I figured more often than not, I wouldn't be using it. I bought a bluetooth keyboard (microsoft 6000) and I just bring that if I need a keyboard for some reason.

I bought a P4 case from ElectronicCrap that doesn't block the USB port. The P4 does not have a built-in keyboard.
I also bought a neoprene-like case meant for a netbook. The case is loose enough to carry the gtab in the P4 case plus a small USB/BT keyboard.
That's the way I roll
Yes, I'm aware of the electroniccrap cases from Steve. They seem nice, and I'd love to support a member here, but there's good reason that I iterated "inexpensive" in my thread title.
Especially if I'm on the fence about purchasing a keyboard one as well, I'm looking for the best-bang-for-my-buck right now. I simply can't justify spending the money on Steve's when there are decent (albeit lower quality material) cases for half the price available.
If I weren't trying to be cheap with this, I'd likely spring for one of those Kindle DX cases I've seen around that appear to fit nicely and are genuinely nice leather material. But sadly that's not in the budget.
As far as the straps vs tabs- I was under the impression that the straps held the device in better, since the tabbed version is actually missing a tab on the right side. Didn't folks say if you hold it the wrong way, the tabbed version would slip right out? I am under the impression that this is exactly why they switched to the strap version. I could be wrong about that.
Indeed, the Kindle DX and plenty of other tablet and Ereader cases use similar strap designs as well. But it is reassuring to hear that the tabs are working for you- makes me feel better about the KB one.
I really want the Clip, but I am not ready to shell out $50 for it. Sigh.
I wouldn't mind seeing the case with straps, but any of those elastic type straps I've ever seen start to loosen. These clips are metal (aluminum?) They hold it crazy tight, I can't imagine what kind of force it would take to come out of there. When I first got it I put the tablet in and held it over the couch and just shook it like crazy and it didn't budge. I mentioned I had a co-worker get the same case. His tablet was also held in very tight.
Not trying to talk you one way or another, but I looked at the Kindle cases too and if you read any updated reviews of them it seemed like they were always getting stretched out to the point of people putting velcro on the tab just to hold it in there. I wasn't a fan of the P4 style cases, because personally I think that sleeve all around adds too much bulk to the whole thing. The witglobal one is like the exact size of the tablet, perfect imo.
The clip looks awesome but no way I was paying $50 for a case either. I also didn't want to lug a keyboard around all the time. If I was going to do that I would just take my laptop everywhere. I would say, see if you can find any of the later reviews, or later threads on those kindle cases. It seemed like a lot of people were having the straps stretch out. The other thing looking at the picture of the witglobal strap case, it almost looks like the one strap would go right over the power button and the other might cover the power/headphone ports.
Hope that helps

Ugh, now I can't decide which one I want! The straps I thought make more sense, and the whole point was that they were supposed to be *better* than the clips at holding it in!
I'm so confused- does anyone have any experience with the strapped design that they can chime in with? I know these things take weeks to arrive from China, so I don't want to order one, find out it stinks, and then have to start over waiting for another one!
Hi All,
Am thinking about getting the versa sleeve. Want a cover that allows quick access, can be used with dock or not, and can be used as a stand for multiple viewing angles for the tablet when it is solo. The versa sleeve is the only one I can see that can be shipped to Australia (Moko does a case I'm interested in, but Amazon dont ship to Oz).
Does anyone have one of the versa sleeves for the Infinity? Any comments on satisfaction in, and utility of, the product would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Mike.
No idea if any good (still waiting for my first ever tablet to arrive on Monday ) but noticed it on B&H when I ordered the Infinity from them (can't post a link but google ASUS 90-XB2UOKSL000B0 bhphotovideo should find it). Has some reviews and all are positive.
My tablet took 2 days to get to Botany ... but hasn't moved for 24 hours

I actually like the Versa Sleeve. It's a little pricey, but I found that it fits either the tablet or the tablet + dock (snugly). It has a stylus loop too. It has 2 basic viewing angles, and I like the texture of the case, nice and grippy.
versasleeve can be found at samsclub for <$6. not sure if they ship to australia. great sleeve. should fit tf700t + dock since it is advertised for the tf300t alone or with dock. primary reason why i bought this case is because i like using my tablets naked (slim profile is too nice to cover up) and because it functions very well as a stand.
Have had the Versa sleeve for a couple weeks now. If you're one to travel with the dock, this is a real plus because it's such a snug fit. Pricey but you can feel that the quality is there in the material. Even for those times you go with only the tablet, the ability to have 2 different angles is handy, and surprisingly, the "stand" positions are solid.
All in all, I'm happy with this because I don't have to bother with a case.
I live in Melbourne (Australia) and managed to buy the Asus versasleeve from B&H Photo and I have to say, it's a great case for the transformer infinity. It fits snugly with both the tablet and dock inside (without being very bulky). Also fits well with just the tablet, although I have purchased a caseen cover for when I want to use the tablet without the dock.
Build quality and texture of the versasleeve is quite nice - doesn't look cheap like a lot of the other covers I am seeing on amazon. Unfortunately shipping is a bit of a killer for such a small item, but at least it ships to Australia! Am personally very happy with my versasleeve purchase.
Well I've had mine 14 hours now

It works great to me, the case and email updates. I wasn't sure how much I would like the case with it being open at the top and bottom, but it is surprisingly made really well, especially for how cheap it was. I would buy another very quickly.
As far as email updates, I get them the moment they hit my computer most of the time so I don't have the same issue.
We got the "AG Findings Purple Ballistic Smooth Gell Case" they were selling at the USA AT&T store. Its a nylon rubbery thing with 4 sets of different coloured drop-protection corners you can swap out. It has cutouts in all the right spots and seems to work well. At $30 list its way overpriced, but for the $15 we paid, its not that bad. Likely better quality than the $5 amazon/ebay stuff out there.

It is really have a good texture.~I like it.
My god it was a load of rubbish. Very little good stuff for sale.
Amazon fire stick was only thing worth buying!
Agreed. It was overall underwhelming. I kind of wish I had a need for a Fire Stick.
There was a 3-coil wireless charger going up for sale in the evening. Regular price was $42.99. When it finally hit the lightning deal, it was..... $41.02.
