Case + Touchstone Recommendation - TouchPad Accessories

Hi All,
I'm looking for recommendations for a Touchpad case that will work with a Touchstone. I've heard nothing but positive things about the Targus Truss case, except that it is too thick to work with the Touchstone. I've heard that the Poetic Slimbook case will work with the Touchstone. Anyone have one? Any comments?
Or do I just go with the genuine HP case, which I assume works with the Touchstone?

Any reasonably slim case will be ok as long as there's no metal in it. I have my TP in a tpu case inside a fairly hefty leatherette case and it charges fine on the touchstone.

I saw go with the genuine since it works with the touchstone and offers the best value by offering protection and flips to be a stand. It's also pretty slim.

I have been using the Acase and it fits perfectly, looks great and charges fine with the Touchstone.

i have the incipio and it works as well.

Using the HP case, love it.

I just got one from wall mart called m edge. It was actually one of the only few that fit. It let's you rotate 360° while still attached and folds to a stand. Only $30. And slim and simple

i would go with the Hp touchpad products.

haven't tried any cases with a touchstone yet but I do have the Original case and a pleather Chinese case thats horrible.
The original case is significantly better. till the areas near the volume and charge port stretch out for no apparent reason. Seems to be a common defect for it though.

I have the stock folio cases on mine. They work fine with the touchstone dock. Though the flap on the cover eventually sags.

Why the touchstone is still expensive....

(gonna have to dust this post off ...)
Resurrecting it only because this bloody fantastic tablet is still popular.
I use the touchstone with the Targus, the OEM case from HP and TPU cases I pickup years ago. No problems.
I wish that I could still find the TPU type cases...
Touchstones are still around on FleaBay for $20 on up and there's some $$$$ ones on Amazon also.

Was going to post this. Currently have the poetic case (rebranded acase) but it takes too much room on a desk when using it, annoying to try to use in conjunction with a keyboard. Not to mention using it outside of a desk or one handed is troublesome too, but I don't think this case will fix that either.
I have the poetic case too. Two things i dont like with that case is it doesn't lock properly when you are setting it at certain angles. And the speakers get covered as well.
The poetic looks neat though.

I Couldnt Pass up a Deal like this, Thanks for the Assist. .

The price has gone up. Sky rocketed to $19.99. LOL!
That sux. . . But still a good investment. . .

Yeah. I still ordered one.
Still a great deal!! Thank you so much for the info. Bought one and now I have to wait =(
I got a couple few days ago. I should be getting them delivered today.
I have two TPs. One with this case and my CM9 unit with the Poetic case. Poetic case is nice but bulky and it does not protec the corners. My 3 year old was playing with my CM9 unit and dropped it on to a pavement right on the corners where it's not covered. No real damage but those scratch marks will haunt me.
I received my case yesterday. (HP's shipping is super fast! Love it!) It's an awesome case. I didn't realize it was like a hard rubberized case either. I thought it was leather. Very pleased with the purchase.
Guess that's why your case cost more..... I ordered mine first, but u already got yours. . I have too wait too Monday :[ for it too be delivered. . .

I bought a case for $10 and a couple sleeves for $2. The case is ok. Somewhat flimsy. Don't think it's worth more than $10. The sleeve is really nice for the price of $2. Similar material as the case.
great to hear! Should be getting mine tomorrow or Tuesday!pretty excited, my tp has a few scratches on the back which annoy me, be nice to get a case on it. Especially hearing about how nice this case is

I have been using the incipio case till now. Got in on this deal and while it is nice it is a tight fit. Do I now need to worry about getting the cracks near the Touchpad speakers so many others have been reporting?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
really liking this case so far. It is a tight fit, which is nice. But as people have been talking about cracks around the speakers on tight fitting cases, I am a little worried but really not to much. I already have a slight crack on one of the speakers, so not a big deal, the case hides all that =)
While the $10 deal is dead, Amazon now has it for $12.50......
Amazon also has the Touchstone for $40 as well.....
I bought this case, but ima use it when I travel, I also bought an black silicone case for my touchpad and it fits perfect an it charges while on the touchstone without having to remove it.
best thing it only cost $5.49
Here's the link if anybody is interested in a black silicone case for touchpad.

How snug is the silicone case? I hate when they're all slippy and slidy on a device! How much more thickness does it add?

The one i linked too, fits perfectly it actually has a little more silicone on it , so it wraps around the black void part of the screen. . . It adds a good amount of thickness, in my opinion about the thickness of a quarter....

Thinnest case?

Put Ghost Armor Matte on my Skyrocket but am getting annoyed with how parts of it peel. Used to throw Best Skins Ever on every device without issue. Any suggestions on the best thinnest case vs. protective skins?
The Cellaris case here seems interesting for it's aluminum cover: https://www.cellairis.com/product/cellairis-fender-case-for-samsung-galaxy-s-ii-skyrocket-i727-black
So does this cheap TPU case: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678753
Thinnest case probably is the Rearth Ringke.

I have a generic TPU case (no idea what brand) and by my ruler/eye it is 12mm, so the one linked above is only .5mm thinner. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't notice the difference.

I have the BodyGlove case. It's hard rubber, nice grip and adds protection to the screen because it overlaps the front of the phone. It works well because I've dropped it on my concrete patio out back and the phone was unscathed. The best feature was the $10 price tag at WalMart. Looks similar to the Rearth Ringke and the Diztonic TPU. Great purchase.
I have found the Seidio Surface line to be the thinnest and offer the best protection. Excellent product, have had this model on my last three devices.
This case is hard shell with thin padding on the inside you protect the finish of your phone. And it has a matte finish that gives your Skyrocket a much better surface to hold on to that the slick stock finish.
You can find the case alone for around 25 bucks, or with the belt clip holster as a combo for 30 - 35 if you Google in the right places.

The Surface case is very thin. Here's a video review I located.
Excellent case IMHO.
And here's a link to Amazon with a pretty good price on the case and holster combo -> http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-BD2-HR3SSSKY-BK-SURFACE-Holster-Skyrocket/dp/B006NYOW8S/ref=pd_sim_cps_6

Jus' sayin', y'know, if blue's your thing...
Thanks guys. Think I am sold on the Seidio given the 1mm thickness and past use of their stuff. Have the TPU case from here on order but might just get both and compare.

I'm tempted to get the blue Seidio considering how little it costs, but the wife might just kill me if I have another case delivered right after getting my new Diztronic TPU (which replaced that black case after I destroyed it, which replaced the Diztronic TPU she now has, which replaced a series of Dragoncell hybrid cases, which replaced an Otterbox, etc...I have case ADHD).
If it helps domestic peace any it seems the Platinum case / rebranded Seidio Surface + Holster can be had on eBay from US sellers for around $10 Although reading some threads it seems it only comes in black.
I think I'm going to get one of these although I am seeing some posts saying that the bottom can be a little loose for some. Hoping it's the exact same build quality as the Seidio branded version.

Don't worry about resurrecting an old thread... Our accessories forum isn't too active anyway
I have the Infuse 4g dock (compatible with skyrocket)
However there isn't that much space. The dock works best when the rocket is naked

Thanks for the reply.
Bare phones always seem to work better with docks. I have this dock in picture and that's the one I'd like to know if it would work with the seidio surface case.
To answer own concern, yes it does fit. Perfectly.

Seidio Active case

I think it looks really nice in white, the kickstand could be useful. But its kinda expensive :/ Hope they get finished with it soon!
What do you think?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Looks awesome and I've already present ordered one from a website. They are pricey but well made. Plus they make the best holsters. Unfortunately i wasn't able to order the holster for it from the site i purchased from, but will the day they come out. Out of all of them, the red looks nicest to me with that anodized look it has, but being military I cant wear a phone in uniform that isn't black or grey.

The surface case with/without the holster is now shipping according to their site.
Hopefully it shouldn't be too long for the active case.

Yes, jay above you had it already and he hates it. It's kinda of a touchy subject with him lol. But I never bought a surface case for my devices because I hated the way they have to put on. Kinda like taking off sweats before a shower after working out lol.
But I have active cases for my Sensation, which is my wife's phone now, my Nexus 7 and before the N7 I had one for my Kindle Fire. They are all well made. Even though there's a chemical smell like it was fresh off the mold lol, it dissipates within a weeks time.
I for one can't wait for the Active combo. I love the holsters as well. Right now I am using a Gnex Seidio Surface holster with my diztronic ultra thin shell and it works, but doesn't seat to my satisfaction.

FYI, The surface holster for the Nexus 4 works with pretty much any TPU case. I tried it with the I-Blazon and the Diztronic, and both work great. If you nee to go "thin" but want to use a holster, it does work.

Sadly yes, the Active does not allow it for wireless charging. But I intend to use the Active case on travel. Being it airplane or train, I will be using the kickstand on those trips. And when I am traveling, I am not bringing any of my wireless chargers, so wireless charging would be a moot point.
For day to day use, I use the Cruzerlite XDA case at this point with the Surface holster, so I am good at this point.
A lot of people here might not like to hear me say it but the active can mess up your phone. Not the actives fault... I'd say its the crappy chrome bezels fault. Its pretty easy to get particles under the silicone on this case. It has great impact protection but I did get some scuffs on the bezel above the speaker after using it a week straight. Also somehow the magnet from the kickstand or something with the case pug some strange hazing that won't go away on my rear wet apply screen protector. Something to watch out for. The marks are square in shape etc. I'm hoping it will go back to normal after some time but it doesn't I can just buy a new screen protector for the back. Back to tpu with the surface holster for now.

I have to clarify my last point. The marks on the screen protector go away after a few hours out of the case.

Anyone have experience with a Ballistic Shell Gel case on a previous phone? I know it isn't available for the N4 yet but I'm torn on getting that or the Seidio Active. I don't care much for the kickstand so that's not a huge deal for me. I'm also guessing the Ballistic case won't allow wireless charging either since it looks like it has similar construction/thickness to the Seidio Active.
I think it's the metal kickstand that prevents the charging, not the extra thickness.

Comparing my ballistic galaxy nexus to the nexus 4 with active, the ballistic is much thicker! The silicone on the ballistic is thicker and so is the hard plastic. You need the convert holster if you want to use a holster with the ballistic. I have no doubt it will be an awesome case but it will not let you wireless charge.

Mybat vs. Ballistic vs. Seidio vs. Ionic

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

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..

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.

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

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.

I heard that it is a dust/lint magnet, is this true?

I'm running the seidio surface case. Expensive, but you can't beat the quality.

It does a bit, it is not terrible though, I only really noticed having a look to reply to you!
Second with mybatt.. Cheap and sturdy for the price. Get a good looking one for the less dangerous situations.

The best protection gives you MyBat! I have Wrapsol film and the Tuff case from MyBat and I think my phone is unbreakable.

Getting a Galaxy Note 4 Here Soon; Recomend me some accesories?

I'm getting a Note 4 here soon and wanted some recommendations on accessories. Trying to keep things under $100 shipped for everything. Mainly the two things I need is a good dock and case, as well as a fitness arm band. I'm an Uber driver and the app does not rotate into landscpae mode so something that I can use in portrait or landscape is a pluss but the biggest thing is dead reliable and easy to remove and compatible with the case. As far as the case goes well I don't want anything ridiculous bulky but definitely something that will protect the phone from minor wear and tear and prevent damage in the event of drops. A waterproof case is not a requirement unless said case maintains hte profile of not being too bulky.
I have more portable battery chargers, usb cables, and chargers than I know what to do with. So I am good on those
For cases that provide good protection yet keep it not too bulky check out the seidio solez pro which is a hybrid case and also includes a kickstand, also my favorite is the speck candy shell grip case provides excellent protection and gruo while being pretty slim. I hear the Samsung OEM protective cover is good too. As far as docks I use the iottie one touch dock.

Thanks. I was looking into the iOttie Easy One TOuch 2. I notice the bottom support bracket is adjustable. Can this be adjusted to allow me to have access ot the charging port and S Pen while mounted?
I have the slightly older version my charging Port is fully accessible while docked but the s pen is not, the newer version may allow that though.
i had the UAG case on mine. Offers good protection and isnt to bulky, but it does have a very tight fit

Those look pretty nice. RIght now im looking into the Seidio Dilex and the Ballistic Tough Jacket Maxx. The Ballistic is somewhat on the bulkier side but it comes with screen protection and I've owned Ballistic cases before and they are ROCK solid.
I went ahead and ordered an iOttie One Touch 2
get the iblason armorbox and the samsung oem qi back. an itian wireless charger + a 3 coil charger for the desktop and some 3m double sided tape for fixing the itian in your car and you should be good.

Ehhh I think I'm good on all that. I'm not big on wireless chargers
I tried the Tech 21 and now have the Samsung Protective cover.
The Samsung Protective Cover is FANTASTIC. And the same night I got the phone, Samsung sent me a 50% off any item in their store under $50 so I bought the case with it. Its slim, fits well, It almost looks like the Note 4 was made as a rugged phone and doesnt have a case on it at all. I would rate it a 10 out of 10. the tech 21 I woudl rate a 4 out of 10, I knew when I was putting it on I didnt like it.

You will have access to the charging port but the S-pen isn't that easy to get in and out. Here are some pics I recently took of it http://imgur.com/a/GP92Y
The s-pen has to be pulled on a little bit so it makes it difficult to try and wiggle it out while driving. It's not impossible though.

You know, I agree with this. I got the blue one.
Otterbox Defender.. THE best case for the Note4 as far as protection. I've had one on mine since day 1, and have dropped it several times and my phone is still perfect. JMHO..

Hmmm, well I try hard not to play with my phone while I am driving so that's a non issue for me in itself.

I had a look at it, it looks solid like any other otterbox case but It looks like itd be just too bulky for my tastes.
Hi,
I highly recomend you the original Samsung Vehicle Dock.
I got it since December and I love it, I don't know how I could live without it!!
Greetings.
