[Q] InvisibleShield full body cover and the Touchstone - TouchPad Accessories

Hey gang. Like many of you, I picked up a Touchpad during the sale. I'm mulling over accessories, and I'm definitely looking for something to protect that glossy-black back. I figured the logical route would be to throw on a full body cover, but I'm concerned about if it'll affect the inductive charging with the Touchstone.
I doubt it would cause that much interference, but I admittedly don't know very much about them. Does anybody have a full body cover and a Touchstone? Or can anyone confirm that they work together okay?

On my old pre it didn't effect it much. Was a little picky on the placement at times... but it worked just fine.

I saw a video review where they places the Touchpad on the charging dock while it was in a case and it started charging fine. So you should be fine.
I got a case on ebay for a little over a great price. I think it a better investment than a full body shield.
See here:

Thanks for the input.
I have thought about picking up a case, but I despise adding extra bulk to tablets. However, I'll probably pick up HP's just because of the built-in stand.
With my iPad, I usually have the smart cover on when I'm out and about, but rely solely on the full-body shield when I'm at home. I'll probably do the same with the TouchPad.

Incipio double cover case

Just bought it at the vzw store. Vry good build quality. Fits the phone awesome and doesn't bulk it up too much. Just a heads up it's 20% off
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA Premium App
Its a decent case but mine got sent back 5 minutes after I opened it. No cutout for the hdmi port.
I noticed that as well. Since I don't use the hdmi port it didn't bother me

Loving this case. It does make the phone bulkier, but I have big hands so it works out for me.
The feather case was just released as well. It still does not have a cutout for the hdmi port. They said it would compromise the protection the case gives the phone. I don't get it, if everyone else can include a cutout for the port why don't they? I am disappointed because I used the feather on my Atrix and I have never used a case I liked that much.

Sweet, thanks for the heads up. I don't use the hdmi port enough to care that much, but I have been wanting a super thin/light case for awhile. Kinda pricey though.
love this case, but it's somewhat hard to get the hard cover over the rubbery inside layer. I've ripped mine already. I'm still able get the case to work ok, but just wanted to let anyone know who owns this case that you have to be careful with the soft layer.

I don't use it that much either but its a pain in the ass to remove when I do want to use it. There is no reason they can't make the cutout, every other case has it.
I couldn't get mine on! The corners would scrunch up on the side I was putting in last, and it made it impossible to fit properly.

You have to work it on slowly while pulling the edges of the hard cover outward with your thumbnails (until your thumbnail hurts, then you're pulling hard enough). Loosening the hard cover before installing by gently pulling the sides outward for a couple minutes also helps.
Does anyone have a link to this case on the Verizon site? I just went to the Verizon store and they said they don't carry the double cover for the Charge and I can't find it on their site either.
I have one, got it with the phone when I bought the phone off someone. I don't like it at all, makes the phone heavy and bulky but its free and im not spending money on a case when I know I will be selling the Charge as soon as the Samsung Galaxy S2 is out.

[Q] Back Cover Case Without Flap

Hey guys,
I'm looking for a TPU-style case for my HP Touchpad. Everywhere I look, the cases all have the front flap to protect the screen. This just seems to be a gigantic pain in the ass that I don't want to deal with.
Anyways, I have a rubber case for my EVO 3D. It's actually this Rocketfish case from Best Buy: http://goo.gl/oDOiG
Is there anything available like this for the TouchPad? I've been Googling and searching forums for forever and can't find one remotely close. Silicone cases are too stretchy and aren't glossy on the outside. This one has a rubber feel to it and is glossy, so it doesn't stick to everything.
Thanks for the help!
I've looked everywhere I could think of any haven't turned anything up. I've been using TPU cases on all my devices and prefer them over anything else so wanted the same for the TP. They don't seem very common for devices of this size to begin with though. Maybe an enterprising XDAr will step up. In the meantime I'm using the HP case which isn't bad at all.
given some time I'm sure they'll show....bear in mind this has only just become the most desired commodity....so the vendors need a sample to dish out the cases
this is what I'm after too really. Appears to be a real lack of anything decent in the UK at the moment Hopefully there'll be more released soon!
This might do, it's not exactly what you're looking for though.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Leath...K_iPad_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item415cc817ba
The front piece that you can see rotated pops off so you can leave the back/front flap sections behind and still securely hold the pad in the case.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1245482
I've only seen a few rocketfish products so far and so far they seem like overpriced crap. Haven't seen they're cases though, how is it and how much was it?
I actually didn't want the HP case and my mother talked me into it. I'm so glad she did. The flap doubles as a stand, and two positions, one angled for typing easier and one standing up so you can watch stuff easier. Totally worth it imo.
I'm actually thinking about funding another HP case and just slicing off the flap and putting a screen protector in...would do for the near term. Honestly I haven't yet found a situation in a week and a half where the stand part was useful.

Really? At least for me I found that the lower position with the HP case is a perfect viewing angle for when I have the Touchpad in my lap. It also makes it much easier to type.

I tend to either sit with my knees up (I have a knee injury and until surgery in October I have my lt knee up a lot) or I hold the TP with both hands and type with my thumbs...in either case I have no use for the flap.
Unfortunately I tried yesterday to find another case but couldn't - did find more Touchstones but one of those is enough for me.

after seeing a coworker's Bionic (lucky bastard ) which had the same style case with kickstand (apparently they sell those at the verizon store) I bought one from amazon as well. It should be coming tomorrow, so hopefully I can give a more thorough review. I've been looking for a kickstand case for a while, and none have been even remotely slim except this one.
just got this case. From what i can tell... it checks all the right boxes for a case. its light, its thin, its slightly soft but still durable, and most importantly, IT HAS A KICKSTAND. My only concern is the durability of the kickstand as it seems like the hinges and movable parts feel flimsy even though the rest of the case feels solid. On the plus side there are no folding plastic bits which you know will eventually snap.
Bad ass case, I love it. I had it for my Droid 2, Fascinate and my Charge.
I have one. I love it, and the kickstand is pretty sweet feature for watching stuff at lunch break in the conf room.
I broke off my clip eventually as I am always catching it on something while getting in and out of equipment and my desk chair. (kinda a wide ass). I super glued it back on with some Barn's FSA Adhesive and it's back in business.
Best case/holster I have had of all time.
It's pretty good for all of the reasons already stated, but my only complaint is that it's kind of a pain to get the case off if you're a guy like me who needs to remove it twice a day in order to switch batteries. That's all.
I have it
I got mine in a package deal when I purchased my phone. I love it, keep the phone nice and secure. I love belt clips, especially when you can rotate it. Sometimes I clip it to my messenger bag to catch videos of my bike rides. Once you start using the kick stand, you can't go back. Get it from verizon so if it breaks, they will provide you with a replacement.
Is it really made by Samsung? I need one of the "holster" with clip, so that I could use it while at the gym.
I just bought a new spare of these holsters from Amazon for $6.00. I go through a couple a year and don't want to come up short.
These are the Verizon ones and are pretty nice.

I can't seem to find the item on Amazon that you mentioned. Actually, I'm really just interested in the case part that attaches to the phone, I already have the part that has the belt clip. Have you seen where to get those?

Dam.sweet ass case
I got this the other day from Amazon. It's a great value at around 8 bucks. I'm enjoying it So far.

[Q] does a case protect the touchpad?

when you put a case on the touchpad, will it protect it from e.g. accidental fall? saw a pic of a broken touchpad's screen.. kind of worried now
No you're better off dropping it without a case.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
You're going to have to specify height of drop, windspeed and direction and landing surface density.
Also, is it an African or a European Swal...er Touchpad?

My best advice is to assume it won't and act accordingly.
Obviously a short fall to a soft surface is less likely to damage the pad than a long fall to a hard one.
I think the real value in the case, as long as it fully covers. is against accidental "bumps" into other things while carrying.
is there any case that can protect it from shocks? is there a wrist strap for touchpad

Maybe an OtterBox (which they have not manufactured yet).
Also, there is no place to attach a wrist strap to the thing.
What is curious to me is why are you so convinced you need such protection.
Are you suffering from some physical condition that makes you drop a lot of things?
Have you already dropped laptops and other electronic things which got broken?
If either of these is the case, maybe you should just use the TP on a desk or a lap and not plan on carrying it anywhere else?
I am not trying to be combative or ugly, just pointing out the obvious.
Nunja, pm sent.... Looking for you
...sent from my 'un-stock' g2x
Just glue it to your hand, then attach pillows to each side of it. That works great for me.
PS. If you are falling, put your other hand out first. I went through three touchpads before I figured that out.

I understand completely. Then I would have to say the stategy would be to get an Otterbox (or other hard-shell case)that is slightly LARGER than the TouchPad and some sheets of soft foam and make it work for you. You can always add padding.
And don't complain too much about living in the Nederlands, you do have all those wonderful cafes to visit with your TP.
Wait a second Now I know why you are so worried about dropping it!!!
hahaha ok thx will wait or try an otterbox. Thx again
yeah, i'm looking for a case now, since it seems that the touchpad screen does crack easily. i have a small hairline crack along the bottom of the screen, maybe 2 inches long. doesn't affect screen functions, but still annoying. it's been in my bag, and I haven't dropped it once.
kinda wish I still had my Nook Color. The fact that the screen was depressed slightly relative to the bezel meant that it was protected from cracks more than the edge to edge glass design on the TP.
Think i will buy one of those cheap case from ebay. It's about $12. And a screen protector. Will monitor if otterbox comes out for touchpad.

Pretty unlikely they would invest in tooling up for a TP-specific case since TP production will end after this next batch.
But several companies make so many different kinds and sizes of hard-shell cases, I meant you might find one that may be a hair larger and work with some additional padding. Here's one from Pelican http://www.pelican.com/cases_detail_print.php?Case=1075 that has the "pick n pluck" foam padding but there's no price.
B&H photo in the U.S. sell the Pelican 1075 for $60 so U.K. pricing will most likely be £60.
There are other slim briefcase styles about but whether they are useful or not I don't know http://www.mezzi.com/Netbook-Cases/MEZZI-SLIM-mold-Aluminum-Briefcase/

I wouldn't mind a faux leather flip cover for times I know I will not be using the keyboard for a while.
I am looking for a leather case with kickstand function. Anyone seen anything?
I am looking for something like this http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Slim-Fit-Multi-angle-Android-Samsung/dp/B00A9G985S/
With automatic sleep/wake-up function. I use very simillar case with Nexus 10 and I am very satisfied with that.
Anyone seen anything?
I think case manufacturers are going to be running into problems since the Pixel C uses a lot of magnets in the tablet chassis to attach it to the optional keyboard. Putting on a standard cover is going to negate this benefit I would imagine.
I'd like to get a sleeve, sort of like the one posted earlier, that will allow me to protect my Pixel C and keyboard when I throw in in a bag or backpack since I'm not sure how resistant the aluminum body will be towards scuffs and scratches.

The Nexus 9 smart cover was one of THE worst engineered covers I have every used! In other words, it was just a big piece of cr** and not worth the money. Let's hope they bring us something better.

The magnets in there are just to weak so it comes off the screen to easily (yes, I am using it on the correct side), or does not hold the tablet in place when used a a stand. That alone is a no-go for me.
Also, as a kickstand, depending on the position, it makes it very hard to access the volume- and powerbutton(s), or will accidentally press the buttons down sometimes. This is unacceptable.
Anyone have any input on this sleeve:

So I went ahead and ran out to Staples again, this time with my Pixel C. They actually had a couple of different tablet cases/sleeves, but I ended up going with the one I posted above. Fits very well, and in fact the sleeve is actually a little bigger than needed (probably because the sleeve has a more traditional 16:9 ratio), so you could actually fit a few small things, such as papers, cables, etc., without hurting the slim design.
Now I might look into getting a case actually designed for the Pixel C once they start rolling out, but I"m very happy with this in the meantime, especially since Staples wanted to charge me $24.99 for it and I just had them price match Amazon's $10.97! :laugh:

I like that case, but I wish it had the cut out for the back cover lights. (battery level lights) I think they are a very nice aesthetic touch that should be visible.
