[Q] best case for touchpad between $10 to $15?

best case for touchpad between $10 to $15?

I guess this is a bit late. But I hope it would still serve the xda community, if you guys are on a lookout for replacement case already.
ebay - yourlab, folio stand case cover for HP touchpad. Xda won't allow me to hyperlink as I'm a newbie.need 8post counts...
case fits the touchpad very well, making me suspect if it is actually a case built for the iPad. But the cutout of the case fits the touchpad perfectly, quelling my doubts. The touchpad is tugged in with Velcro. While the flap is secured by magnet.
I know I shouldn't be asking much for its price. But for the sake of this review, and I'm not complaining, the case is made of cheap leather. Also, you only have a single propped up option on this case, as compared to others available in the market, which gives you a wider variety of choices.
it took 3weeks for the case to reach, but I'm overall satisfied with the case, considering its price. Got my screen protector from the same ebay seller. Its a clear screen protector which gives you the original texture of the LCD screen.
can't say much about the durability of the case yet. (will edit post if I face any problems).
bananablanket's 1st post

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005POHB4O looks promising. I ordered one yesterday, won't ship for a week or two but I can wait. I've had a difficult time finding a tpu case for this, I'd prefer to use one when I'm carrying the touchpad around with me.

How about $5 shipped? Or you may be able to find it locally at a Verizon store. With an easy mod it fits the TP like a glove.

This looks similar to the Roocase I returned. It never fit very snug with the slip in design.
I would say wait for a sale on the HP case. It's like it was designed for it.

Received mine a week ago. I like it overall, but it isn't a perfect fit. It doesn't evenly cover the lip on each side. Some sides have the case covering the lip and sticking up just a couple of millimeters more than others.

I had a similar case for my Nook Color and it kept sliding out when it was in landscape mode. I didn't pay much for it (part of a $10 package) so I didn't sweat it.

I have this one and I really like it.

A few more dinero...(the other link is sold out..) but still the best IMO.
http://www.shopping.hp.com/store/product/product_detail/FB343AA%23AC3

i like the redesigned incipio kickstand. great fit, all the functions (except the light sensor) available. magnets keep the front flap in place. acts as a stand for many angles (no preset grooves like some other cases. some people complain about the bulk, but my tp feels safe and secure.
and it falls within the op's request of being 14.99 with free shipping. do a search and you can find a coupon to bring it down a little more.

This is what I got for my Touchpad. I like it's method of becoming a stand, at feels good and most of all look professional (much more so than most of the others).

I just ordered a Incipio KICKSTAND case for $12.74 shipped from myincipio.com
You just need a 10% code. I think it was FBFAN2011 and I found that in another thread on here.
Pictures on the site showed a revised version of the case.

Im a fan of the folio OEM for 20ish

I also have the HP OEM Case and I like it because it fits very well. The only downside is that it is a lint/dirt magnet. Andy suggestions on how to easily clean it?

Full Body Skin Protector - ArmorSuit MilitaryShield

Has anyone used ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity 700 Screen Protector + Full Body Skin for the TF700? If so, what is your opinion. I wanted to buy a screen protector for my TF700 but I am thinking about getting this instead.
Any other suggestions?

Used on my Galaxy Note.
If you use a hard point stylus, then stay away. I used on my note and it was great, except with the "S-Pen" it messes up and creates this weird almost bubble like look under the skin. This brand of SP is a wet install type. You get a little spray bottle, rubber squeege, and cloth along with the SP. Wet installs are very easy to apply, adjust, remove/reapply untill you get it right (as long as its still wet). It has a slight rubbery feel to it. I grew to prefer it, although some do not like it. This rubbery type texture helps keep it from sliding around when laid down on a center console or dash area of a vehicle and helps you keep from slipping and dropping your device. Expect the front and back pieces to be the only usable pieces, if it comes with any side pieces that are small, they never seem to stay. The company its self is great, many amazon vendors are total crap and are impossible to get decent service through. I love them and will probably get one for my TF700 eventually, but went with a regular clear already as they wernt available.

Chief Geek , thanks for the detailed reply. I forgot to mention that I am fimiliar with the product as I recently used screen protector from the same company for my Nexus 7 and I really like it. My question was more in regards to the quality/fit on TF700 specifically and also wanted to know if putting the full body skin have any issue with docking the tablet.

The fit has always been good, I've used them on a hand full of devices. As for the dock, good questions I don't use a dock KB on mine so it never really crossed my mind. Be sure to update if you go for it and get one. Skinomi makes a carbon fiber full skin too.

I sent an email to ArmorSuit asking about the fitment with dock. Will you know once I get a reply from them.
Update:
Following is the reply that I received from ArrmorSuit
Hello,
Thank you for contacting ArmorSuit.
We apologize for the inconvenience, but our screen protectors are still not compatible with any docking systems.
The same problems with the docking systems, still arises with our screen protectors.

Someone said the tf201 Zagg Sheilds fit perfect on the TF700 so I went and ordered a full body sheild. I will let you know how it fits when I get my next TF700.

I'm getting the Skinomi full body skin for the tablet and dock, will be here tomorrow. Not planning on using the screen protector as I already have an anti-glare one on the tablet, just wanted the body and dock protection.
I'll report back when I get it installed as to how well it fits and works with the dock.

Do those skinomi and the armor cover in the first post cover the sides too.

The Skinomi does and I would guess the other one does do. Here's a pic of the layout for the Skinomi tablet skin (couldn't find a detailed pic for the dock):

Any other recommended screen protector?

I'm using dark wood from Skinomi, my opinion, it's OK. didn't cover the edge fully, easy to install, nice and flat, almost impossible to have bubbles. You can peel it of and re apply about 10 times. After that, you need a hair dryer, set to warm and blow for a couple seconds for it to stick again. It came with a nice screen protector (wet type). The reason I said it's OK, because when I hold the 700, I felt the rough edge, kind of uncomfortable.

Edit: just did a full review (with pics) for the tablet and dock skinomi skins. Thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29614778#post29614778

Got my Skinomi today (for both the tablet and dock) and so far I've only3 put on the tablet skin. I was eager to see if it would fit in the dock with it on, and it does. It's just a little tight but it does fit. Will do the dock later (more pieces to put on).]

Are there any cases for our Infinity that AREN'T leather???

Like jeez, there's a million cases but they're all leather portfolio style. Is there anything out there that is a hard shell case or something that isn't leather?? Preferably something that will house the dock as well. I can't be the only one that wants this lol

I too, wish to know of such cases - just a simple silicone case that could be cut to accommodate the keyboard dock would be great!

Exactly. You'd think one of these manufacturers would see that all the products on the market are the same and make something unique. The Asus Transleeve Dual looks great but it's not available anywhere.

There are reports on here from users that tried the TranSleeve Dual that say it doesn't fit that well, and that when using it with only the tablet it would slide out of the case. I've been considering getting a regular TranSleeve for when I'm using just the tablet sans dock, and putting this skin on it:

Then maybe just getting a netbook sleeve to store it all in the rest of the time.

That looks sweet.. I was checking that out already , the carbon fiber looks real cool.
I'm using a caseen leather case from the prime I had. Now I'm thinking about getting the dock but don't want a case on it that will make it enormous and this option would keep size minimal. I wonder if the skin has to be taken off does it leave the tablet all sticky from the skin being stuck on?

Yea I saw these, very nice and thanks for your suggestions. Unfortunately the "fabric" is still kinda similar to the leather ones I've seen and not really what I'm looking for. Someone else might find this useful though!

You guys have to keep in mind the design time between the two styles of cases. The leather "snap on" and "slide in" types start with the same chuck of cardboard and "leather" and get a couple slight fit mods and button cut outs to make it fit and their sole purpose is to cover the case. Tough cases such as gum drop, otted, seido, trident, and even silcon jackets have to be molded to fit exactly the right way to every curve. Leather slip ons have alot of room for sloppy fit where the molded type do not giving very little room wiggle room when it comes to testing for the right fit and overall tolerances. Every device I've seen comes with generic cases like folio and slip ons then comes the ones everyone wants.
The good news is GumDrop has informally announced via email that it will be making a case for our tabs, and it will be a water resistant case. Good stuff. And they are rather affordable. Check em out.

Nothing will compare to ipad for accessories, they have tons of options before its released. It takes time to develope these products and makers wait to see what the demand will be bfore sinking capitol. its a no brainer for the ipad and a stiff comptetition market so the faster the better. Hoping the R&D will be short on the GumDrop since they had cases for previous models.

[User Review] Hard Red Case with Gel Black borders.

Hey guys, I just recieved this case that I bought from ebay and since I've found it so pleasent to use and to look at, I decided to share my impressions with you, so here we go. Hope you enjoy the pictures, I took a bunch since when I look for a review I want plenty of captures.
Starting off, the case is worth 8 USD and I bought it from ebay. I got it shipped for 4 extra box.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/370726530130?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Starting with the case itself, its made from a hard plastic cover, wich as you can see is coloured red, its smooth at touch but it has some sort of texture on it wich you can't really feel but its there. The borders are made from some kind of tpu plastic wich is totally flexible and I have to say it has a very premium feeling on it, and the back itself has the same feeling of being a nice material that looks and feels incredible.

There are cutouts for the camera, speaker and microphones, and there's also a small cutout that follows the earpiece's shape. Off course, you still get access to your headphone jack as well as the micro usb port.
The power button and volume rocker are protected within the case and don't worry they are very VERY easy to press, even easier that without it, unlike some other cases ( that I also own that are such a pain to press ).
Regarding protection wise, I've been using this case for just 2 days and I haven't dropped my device since then but I'm sure its gonna do well. The borders slightly cover the front of the screen and since they are made to absorb the impact if it lands front-faced and the back is a hard plastic wich its gonna protect it if it lands back-sided.
What about the feeling using it? Well, the phone feels very secure when placed into the case, it doesn't add to much bulk to it to be honest, it's clearly not one of the skinniest out there but it isn't that bulky either. It doesn't add to much weight neither. It's very comfortable to hold to say the least.
I have to say that I'm very pleased with my purchase, since it is very cheap for a case that for my taste it's quite handsome and well made.
Feel free to say if you liked this little review wich I never thought I'd do.

I think it's pretty clear in the pictures, isn't it?. As you can see it offers a little bit of distance between the concrete and your screen if it falls on it, so your screen should be safe from hitting the ground.

At first glance: The case is very slim. When you snapped in the case, it is not obviously noticeable. If you really like the design of your Xperia Z, this case would maintain its beauty very well.
Docking your phone: You have to use a bit more force in order to dock since the case added a bit of thickness to your phone (just a bit more force, not really much).
Quality: Although the design is great, the quality does not follow. The backplate is not really flat, some areas pop out so you can feel that you device is partially curvy. The material looks fine but the strength is not so good. After using the case together with the dock for a week, all corners of the case are cracked (but the shape is still maintained)
Summary
Pros: thin, barely noticeable
Cons: curvy back, easily cracked

Great review! Question where can i get this? Thanks!

It seems fine, the only dockable case I've seen till now.
I've googled it and found it but it's over 20$ + shipping. It's a big expensive from my point of view for being. I've seen it at 27$ that is 20-21€ shipping included in shop.brando.com
Could you please tell us where you've gotten it it and how much it has cost?
Thanks!

Purchased from Brando. 27$ in total (shipping to Thailand)

Is it TPU or is it hard plastic? From the pictures it seems to be the hard plastic type, aka polycarbonate.

Oh, I can read the title too.
But if YOU read the review properly, he mentions that the disadvantage is that it can be CRACKED. I've been using TPU cases for my phones and I know if it's TPU, you can't 'crack' it.

It's TPU but it can crack. Imagine a one time use plastic cup. It can be teared. The casr crack the same way.

You're confusing TPU with styrofoam. You can not crack TPU ("excellent mechanical properties, combined with a rubber-like elasticity", just Google it) . So this case is clearly not TPU if it can crack.

Sorry guys. I just checked with the official website trinity.jp. It is made from Polypropylene not Polyurethane (TPU) so it was my false.
TPU is a kind of plastic anyway

I was considering getting this case, the cracking issue is putting me off now.
what did you think caused the cracks?

Couple days ago, I just break it into 2 pieces. I used another case then changed to +Simplism, right before I put on the case, I'd held the case with both of my hands then pushed the part that poped out. It then broke into 2 parts.
So I tried an experiment, I flicked a broken part with my fingers as hard as I could. The result? It cracked.
I assumed that Polypropylene that the case is made of has low elasticity.
I just ordered 2 new anyway. Ther is no choice for me. The only low-profile way to protect while docking is this case. Otherwise, you will have to buy Noreve flip case, but it is bulky.

Just fitted the black one fits nice and tight I suspect taking it off again may be a problem and with free screen protector as well not bad gives some protection the attraction is not having toll take it out to charge in the dock

I have black one too, but i think that case is just a bit too small.

I got the white one and personally, I wish I'd saved my money. I have a small air bubble across the back and I don't actually think it would protect my phone if I dropped it. Oh and it feels like your holding tissue paper.

anybody has try this case into a alternative chinise copy dock? the $10 dock? thank you

I would like to order this one, but I would also like to know how is with 3rd party docks. Iv'e got both models of 2rd party and I would also like to know if it is possible to order this kind of case to europe? I know it is possible to order from http://chuwajapanimports.wazala.com/, but it is really overpriced ($21 + $35 for shipping).

I've use this case for about a month, it cracked after 2 drops to smooth marble floor around 1 meter height. phone was protected from scratch.
