I am currently using a Griffin Ipad1 folio case, paid $5 from the verizon sale, classy high quality leather look, well built, great protection and most importantly it doesn't block anything. I mean ANYTHING including the most important speakers which is also where the heat coming outs also. It is almost a perfect case to use it at work and school but I am trying to find something little bit different when I am using it at home.
Most of the Ipad1 folio cases will work but just depends on the style and the quality you want. I am thinking something close to the otterbox style, I tried a few cases and been reading alot online.
Otterbox, as everyone know it does not fit unless someone smart comes out with a easy way to modify it to fit then it will be the most ideal case.
Speck Candyshell hard case, some said it will fit so I ordered one from ATT (Since you don't like it you can return it back to retail store). It does but it's little bit loose so it's not secured enough and the volume down is stuck. No go.
Hp OEM case, best fit and best looking case for the touchpad but not enough protections compares to the Griffin case. If you have an OEM case, you should try out the griffin case.
After countless hours of researching... saw this little Speck IPAD1 rubber case that might work for the touchpad. It's called Speck Pixelskin Silicone Soft Grip Case for IPAD1.
Someone is selling on Ebay for $10 now, does anyone have this to confirm the fitment? Thanks,

Did the case fit your touchpad? i just picked up 2 on ebay for nephews and want to protect the tablet. thanks.
Hey guys,
Recently I bought this and while it looked great at first, it dawned on me that it doesn't tightly fit my device and the bottom part of my Nexus 4 has slipped out of the case a couple times..
http://www.ebay.com/itm/FULL-BLACK-...959490?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item56513a4042
So now I'm hunting for a new case. I've had really good experiences with the Seidio case with my Nexus S, but it's proven to be rather expensive compared to what others have offered. Wouldn't mind going back if it's the only case of this category that is the best fit and protection for the device.
I was looking at the Mybat but was concerned about the actual bulk of the device, and it being easy to remove as I often take off the shell from time to time. Also, no one seemed to comment if the case interferes with headphones with L-shaped plugs either.
The other two contenders are Ballistic and Ionic, heard great things from both but unsure which is better. I did hear that Ionic cases attract lint very easily but I do like its price very much. Not a fan of the bubble-back design though. Heard great things about Ballistic, but like the Seidio case, the cost is making me apprehensive about purchasing one.
Mybat: http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-Nexus-4-...4?pt=PDA_Accessories&var=&hash=item2a286793ca
Ionic: http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00A06Z41E/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3KQDBCHA3FRT9
Ballistic: http://www.goballisticcase.com/products/lg-nexus-4-ballistic-shell-gel-sg-series-case
Seidio: http://www.seidioonline.com/lg-nexus-4-active-metal-kickstand-case-black-p/csk3lgn4k-bk.htm
So what do you guys think would be the best?

I have the iconic and thought it was too thick, so I ordered the Ballistic one and it's even thicker
I'm tempted to try the ACTIVE but I have spent so much on cases it isn't even funny....
Edit...I just bought it on ebay for $24.99 and free shipping.
When i had my gs3 i had a variety of cases including; cheap ebay "tough" cases with kickstands, an otterbox defender (never again), and a ballistic sg. The Ballistic is a GREAT case. It was sturdy, the phone would never pop out, the plastic was nice, and the silicone inner was much better than the plastic inner found on the defender. The silicon not only prevented scratches, but also prevented dust and any other unwanted items in. It almost seals the device. When i bought my nexus 4, i was very dissapointed that there weren't any decent protective cases out. I knew the ballistic sg was coming, but ive had my device since december and needed something for the short term... Something to get so i can wait for the ballistic. I was almost going to buy the case you bought, but i really don't like kickstands. I searched on ebay and found the mybat tough case, I bought it as it met all my requirements; it was cheap, it was protective, it didn't have a kickstand, and it actually looked good. The buyer i bought my case from shipped the case very fast to Australia, (which suprised me, usually these types of cases end up taking about a month) To my suprise, the case was really good quality for the price. The cutouts were (almost) perfect, the fit was pefect, the phone doesn't move about at all. I paid 15 dollars shipped to Australia compared the 70 or 80 odd dollars it would cost me to buy a ballistic shipped. I had the case on for a day, and I loved it...Until I tried to hang up on a phone call... the sensor on the lg is very sensitive, and this case just blocks it enough to stop the screen coming on. This fault was quickly fixed with a drill bit, and since then, i have had no issues, and will continue using this case for the remainder of the phones life. I simply prefer the whole case over the ballistic i had on the s3. However the ballistic was slightly better made, it doesn't warrant even a 15 dollar increase over this case. I love this case. (Note in my pictures the proximity cut out I modified) I did a custom design with sharpie marker on mine and it came out awesome! I wouldn't do this to a more expensive case as id be worried about wrecking it, but since these bad boys are so cheap, who cares. If this broke, i wouldn't think twice at buying another one.
Edit: This case also works with my energizer qi charging mat.
that back is awesome!
FYI the ballistic case works with the LG-WCP700 wireless charging pad. I do however find it is harder to hold on to as it's slippery compared to the Ionic. It's also larger than the Ionic.
I'd go with Mybat (because it's cheap and looks decent) or the Active (because seidio makes a good product and I like the kickstand.)
i also love the look of rugged cases.. been using them ever since my first smartphone
currently i am using this armourdilo case that i saw online.. it is available for sale on mobilefun website or i have seen a seller through eBay AUS...
availbale in a varieety of colours as well although i stuck the standard black on black ...
as well as many youtube vdo reviews bout it.. so i decided to buy it.. really good look and feel..

How easy is it to remove the case once installed? Plus does it interfere with L-shaped headphone jacks?

none of those, i vote for this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/160952016421?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

The case is easier to get off than my ballistic sg on the s3 was. With that said, if i drop it, it doesn't feel as if it will fly apart. The case has interfered with one of my L-shaped head jacks, and works with another.. i just use a simple headphone extender when i want to use those earphones.

Hmmm that might not fly then for me... I listen to music with my phone a lot ... my phone is essentially an Internet-enabled MP3 player that so happens to have a phone function built in lol.

I have the ionic case on mine wasn't too sure from the pictures but I like it and the circles on the back aid grip.
I also dropped it from about 5feet and it bounced on all 4 corners but the phone was fine!
Mate I answered you about headphones, check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37912172#post37912172 :silly: I can recommend the tuff case too, it is a solid and very fair priced case.

This is my third time using Noreve leather case for my gadget, but first time for tablet. There's a few option quality case for Nexus 9, and Noreve is one of them. I started to pre-order Noreve leather case for Nexus 9 when it show up on their website, it took 14 business day to made if you want other custom preferences and finish. There's a lot of preference, finish, texture, and leather type that you can choose. Price range are at $79 - $184 based on what preferences and finish that we choose, and the good thing is the price including free shipping all over the world via DHL Express.
Luckily i've got discount code from holiday season, so i made pre-order purchase for Tradition B leather case. There's two type of Noreve leather case for Nexus 9, Tradition & Tradition B, the different is Tradition B had business or credit card slot and document pocket inside, vertical standing on the back, and magnetic closure. You can check the different between two type in their website.
The package has arrived, as i promised i'll do some review, just like usual noreve have a nice packaging, they put the case into big red sleeve and red-black box. Out of the box, the smell of leather is fantastic, after first touch you will know that is genuine high quality leather used by Noreve. Every detail and finish of this case is excellent, you will never notice that the case was handmade.
I order HTC Nexus 9 leather case (Tradition B) with custom preferences (Dark vintage - Couture with Cerise vintage interior lining). I like vintage range from Noreve, the smell and touch of soft leather is good, but it will get dirty by the time you use it. You can check another leather type if you like it.
About the design, the case it self had excellent finish and protect 360 your Nexus 9 from bump or drop, the case provide cutouts for home & volume button, audio port, charging port, and sensor on the bottom of Nexus 9. It is an open book case model with magnetic closure, inside you'll find three business or credit card slot and one document pocket. On the back of the case there's a kick stand if you want to use your tablet on horizontal position. Usually Noreve case come with auto on/off feature when you open the case, but i don't find it for this one.
The case will add a little bulk and weight to your tablet, but it still comfortable to hold by your hands. The cover will protect your screen from drop, and hold your Nexus 9 securely even you put it upside down and shake it. Now I don't mind to put my Nexus 9 on the bag with my other stuff. Overall i'm impressed with this case.
If you want a case with elegant look, premium leather material, excellent handmade finishes, but don't mind to spent investment to protect your tablet, maybe you can consider Noreve. I hope this info can be useful for you. Thanks
This case looks sharp and sounds good. Might have to give it a try.
Thanks for the review and pics! I'm looking to purchase a nice case for mines and i wouldn't have found this case without your review.

Actually im not too keen on this particular case from noreve. Ive had a couple on tablets and theyvce been great "rail" style cases that didnt need a flap. I would suggest, for those who want premium leather, that a case from local russian company g-case is a great alternative. Its also thinner and lighter than the noreve.

I'm guessing you've had a chance to use this case thoroughly for a while now, hows the texture of the case holding up? With those criss-cross patterns I would have thought it might get a bit grubby and dirty after just normal usage? Is that the case with it?
I was thinking to go for one of those PU leather type ones which are plastic but have that leather effect. Can pick one up for cheap on Amazon/ebay
Thanks for posting and your review. Much appreciated.

it feel soft touch when you swap over the case, the pattern won't cause dirty to the case but if you have light color in exception range it will get dirty easily, every range will get different experience when you touch it, you can choose Perpétuelle or Ambition range and dark color if don't want to get dirty. below is mine after a month of use.
Has anyone found half decent case for their Z4 tablet yet?
For my original Z tablet I had the Poetic slimline case which was great. I have seen a few of a similar design advertised for the Z4T but many of the pictures have a badly photoshopped Z4T picture on the case which makes me nervous about whether or not they are really suitable.
I am looking at ordering the official Sony case in from Poland as I can actually get it cheaper than I would pay for it in the UK but I would prefer to be able to actually see it first. No Sony store in the UK hs the case available yet, apparently (only a handful of them even have the tablet itself!) If anyone already has the official case, please post a review.
I have seen the Muvit case advertised but in the UK it is almost as expensive as the official Sony case so not sure what the best optiion is
Would appreciate any feedback. Have you got a case for your Z4T? Is it any good? How much did you pay for it? Where did you get it from?
Thanks,

I did purchase SONY case for my Z1T initially, but after one drop where one of the only 2 clip / holder on the side banded. Making the whole case obsolete as my tablet was moving around loosely if not eventually snapped the banded holder.
From Sony's site, the case for Z4T seems to be similar deisgn (SCR32/B), so I probably wouldn't be getting it for my Z4T.
Ultimately I had good experienced with this brand, Ray-Out, and it's very durable case as I use my Z1T for gaming primary year round.
And, I'm ordering their accessories for Z4T also. (Case & blue-light cut protection film)
Hi,
Just some thoughts about the SRC32...
I found it to be very slim and a bit flimsy.
If you ask me it´s not really worth the price, but on the other hand there´s not too many choices out there and it does a decent job. It also looks pretty good in the closed position due to the slimness.
The magnetic lock is nice feature but it wasn´t as good as the iPad-air covers as the lock is located on the top rather than built in to the front, so it doesn´t get the same kind of fit when closed. The fit of the front side cover can get/feel a bit flimsy in closed position.
I also found it quite hard to keep the SCR32 in the standing position when used on a soft surface, as it tend to collapse a little too easily.
If it was prices at 10-20$ I would have been completely happy with it. I was expecting a little more from a 50$ cover/stand, but I guess it´s pretty common for the original accessories to be overpriced?
So in the end I didn´t regret buying it as there were no other chooses available and I really appreciated the extra protection and viewing stand.
Thanks for your feedback on the SCR32. At the moment I am struggling to find an alternative but hope that in a few months there will be something available. For the time being I managed to pick up the SCR32 for the equivalent of $38USD so it will have to do for now.
Cheers

Would appreciate any feedback. Have you got a case for your Z4T? Is it any good? How much did you pay for it? Where did you get it from?
Thanks,

I will share it here when i find one.
Well quick update. I brought the IVSO case off from Amazon:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/IVSO-Smart-...&ie=UTF8&qid=1436350615&sr=1-13&keywords=IVSO
I would say that it is ok but it has a concave back which ultimately makes the tablet seem a lot thicker. Also, I am struggling to keep my tablet standing up to watch a movie using the IVSO case so all in all, I am afraid I would not recommend it. I am hoping my Sony SCR32 will be better.

"Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet Case, Pasonomi® Ultra-Slim and Ultra-light PU Leather Folio Case Stand Cover With Smart Cover Auto Wake / Sleep Feature for Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet-PC 10.1 inch (Slim Series Black)"
This is the only case available on Amazon US that I can recommend. The moko case is poorly cut and magnetic closure doesn't work. The IVSO case has that gaudy metal band for magnetic closure and, as you have said and I can confirm, a slighly concave back and doesn't stand up too well. This Pasonomi case is flat, feels good in hand, has working magnetic closure, and no branding. My SCR32 is stuck in Germany due to their postal strike so I haven't been able to try it yet to compare. Even so, the Pasonomi is the only good slim 3rd party case available on Amazon or anywhere else I have looked. The only downside is that it creaks a little too much when you put pressure on it near the magnets.
I have SCR32. Pros: slim, light, elegant, very good quality. Cons: flimsy, overpriced, very little protection. Verdict: would be great if cheaper. Pls note the official statement on Sony website : this case is not for protection.
I wanted to update this now that I have received my SCR32. I think so far as the SCR32 goes as a case, it is a bit pricey but, to be honest, having tried a cheaper case that would not even stand up, it is a much better model. The key thing to remember is that it is a "Style Cover" rather than a protective case. Therefore, it is not designed to provide all round protection for your new tablet. It is designed to do 2 things only:
1) Protect the glass screen from scratches (it does this)
2) Enable you to place your tablet at an optimum viewing angle (it also does this)
On thing I will say about it is that it does not increase the thickness of the tablet as much as some other cases I have seen.
It effectively has 4 clips attaching it to your tablet. Top and bottom and one on each side. The top and bottom clips are about 2 inches in width and the side clips are about 1 inch in width. Therefore, it does not have a surrounding frame for your tablet with cut-outs for ports etc. This, I think is what leads people to refer to it as flimsy. It is not, once you get used to it but because of the design, at first it feels like the tablet is coming away from the style cover.
Bottom line - it does compliment the tablet nicely and does what it has been designed to do. It has not been designed as an all round tablet protector. Think of it like an Ipad smart cover rather than an all round tablet protective case and you will not be far out. so
It is over priced and, to my mind should be about half the price it is retailing at - But then Apple charges about £29 GBP for the Ipad smart case so about right.
Hope this helps educate your buying decisions!

I just got my SCR32 in today finally after waiting for the Deutsche Post strike to end. It definitely shouldn't cost more than $35USD imo for build materals and quality. A good comparison would be to the Galaxy Tab S 10.5 official cover. The scr32 is slightly nicer and higher end at a lower msp. Both are overpriced though. It is much nicer than the moko, ivso, and pasnomi cases but not as much as price would indicate. One reason I do recommend it over the other cases even at its price is the way it snaps into place. The 3rd party cases could very easily scratch the tablet's metal frame during install and removal of one isn't careful. They are far too rigid. The SCR32's snaps are far more pliable and they more naturally bend around the frame of the tablet. This was instability noticeable for me. If you intend to remove the tablet from the case on occasion and want to keep it in good shape, splurge for the scr32.
Any hybrid case recommended? My kids always play games and throw the tablet.
I was going to buy the Sony case but my wife like that on goo.gl/aaWQra and its ok and much more cheaper
Just got my case today and I'm quite pleased with it. Slim that it doesn't take away to much from the nice design, hard shell back, and the origami design of the front cover gives you many possible options for standing it up. And the best part.... Under 10 Euro. German Amazon link for those interested.

I use SCR32
good material. elegant and also stylish very good
I bought this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/29157000287...49&var=590618933745&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
It's actually a nice case. The tablet fits snug; no chance of the tablet falling out. In fact, you have to be careful if you want to remove the tablet from the case.
When you open the case, the tablet comes on.
When closed the height is 9/16"

cheap case
I've just received this affordable case for my tablet and I really like it. It' very similar to Poetic line of cases and nicely protects the corners of the tablet and magnet turns on/off the screen.

For most phones and tablets it's pretty easy to find decent cases, iPhone and iPad Users are spoilt for choice, Samsung useres can also pick and choose how they like, even for the Nexus 5X and 6P one can find an abundance of cases in any color shape or form. But not for the Pixel C - doubtless this is because of the slender market for this tablet. I have been looking all over the net for a simple TPU case for the Pixel C, you know the type of silicone case that just covers the back of the device but not the screen. All I could find was universal folio cases or smart cases with a lid. I even tried my luck on searching Chinese wholesale but no luck. If anyone has come across a simple back cover only TPU or hard shell case that only covers the back please let me know.
Thanks so much.

I also want a TPU case and haven't found anything anywhere - ebay, amazon, vendor sites
This is exactly what I'm looking for as well. All I can find are folios. :/

yep. this. i want the rubber bumper case type cover because the back of the device is so slick that it tends to want to slide off my lap. also, it would be nice to have something to soften the bezel edge because it can dig into your hands if you're holding it for a long time.
Totally agree. There seems to be a Chinese design for a bumper case, however it doesn't seem possible to order it at the moment. Anyone else had any luck finding one ?

Potentially
Came across this guy that might fit the bill:

No reviews and takes forever to ship. If it were cheaper I'd definitely take the jump, but I'm a bit skeptical...
Does anybody know about these? skinomi.com/google-pixel-c.html

I already contacted them, the description is wrong. They sell "normal" pu leather folios, some are bundled with headphones or screen protectors. They removed the product i mentioned in my request but all other bundles are still listed with the wrong description.
what a freakin' tease. i would have loved to have had that clear tpu case.
All products mentioned are found on US Amazon.com
So far the only TPU case I have seen that's for Pixel C <--- does NOT fit Pixel C as customer lefted a photo review on the product he received.

I do not have it in my possession to test the fitment yet, just wanna get the words out with others that's looking for one.
(granted the demo photos doesn't show pixel C in it, but some other products. Just hope these China vendors get the fitment right.)
Other interesting alternatives I have seen so far is the full body coverage skin
http://www.amazon.com/Skinomi%C2%AE-TechSkin-Protector-Replacement-Anti-Bubble/dp/B017L0UKOW
Personally I'm currently using Moko's folio cover as the additional thickness it added is still deem acceptable to me and does the job.

Hey there, the skinomi skins work just fine. A bit of a pain to apply but not too bad, just watch their intructional Video. But this is just a Skin and no case, so no drop protection really.

Thanks SonySteve I have the skinomi techskin on. Just such a shame though, as I would have loved a simple bumper case.

That's exactly my concern also. At most it'll just prevent scratches on the original metal body, wouldn't prevent / provide enough protection from possible little bumps / drops during daily uses.

Exactly, a Skin is not enough, a Folio Case will protect the Pixel C allround but I really dislike the front Display flap. Very annoying. I opted for buying the skinomi techskin combined with this http://www.amazon.com/Booncover-Uni...=UTF8&qid=1463390156&sr=8-2&keywords=Reboon+l
This is expensive though. Would have much prefered a simple bumper case. Grrr.
Negative on the potential TPU case I shared the other day.
A customer that got the product, left a photo review saying it aren't the right fitment.........
http://www.amazon.com/Junsi-Leather-Headphone-Google-Tablet/dp/B01CQTFSKO
This is frustrated, I can't find no bumper case for this device.
i thought about trying to find a similar shaped tablet and using a tpu case for it and i would just make my own camera/speaker holes. not the prettiest solution but i think it would get the job done. the closest thing i could find to the pixels dimensions was the galaxy tab 10.1. so i'm thinking about picking up this case:

Let u s know how well it fits. Thank you and all the Best
I ordered a cheap chinese tpu case for a samsung galaxy tab 10.1 but it does not fit.
The corners of the Samsung device are rounder than the pixel c. Height and width are ok.
I had to remove the corners of the case, now the tablet fits, but the corners are needed to give the case stability and keep it around the tablet.
Without the corners the case slips down of the tablet easily. I hoped it would fit but without the stability it is useless for me...
