Thought this was worth passing on. Been looking for a N1 case and came across Waterfield Designs SFBags - WaterField Designs - Laptop Bags - Laptop Sleeves - Checkpoint Friendly - Travel Cases - Made in USA. I was looking for something minimalist, and inexpensive, but not cheap, and they offer a product called the Suede Jacket for the N1 that seemed to fit the bill. In addition I, like many of you, am always looking for a good cause and through February 28, 2010, they will donate 5% of all Nexus One case sales to the international medical humanitarian organization, Doctors Without Borders, for Haiti earthquake victim relief. Again, for those of you who are looking for a case at a good price ($9.00) and contribute to a good cause, check out this company. Their customer support has been great so far, and I will be doing a review when I receive the product.
Link would of been nice but since I decided to search myself...
http://www.sfbags.com/products/nexus-one-suede-jacket/nexus-one-suede-jacket.htm
It looks good, little expensive IMO. 9 for just the sleeve and 13 for a sleeve with a pocket. Maybe if it was 5 bucks for the sleeve and 9 for the sleeve with a pocket I might bite. But seeing how a portion of this is going to Haiti that's understandable.. I'll give them that.
For me it's just a little too $ for something so simple that I can make at home with my sowing machine(though i'm sure most of you don't have one) I actually made the same thing but white for my iPod Touch about a year ago.
SFBags makes awesome stuff. Made in USA (last time I checked) ... I have a laptop bag of theirs, which was expensive, but it still looks new 3 laptops later
I looked at the bags, what is different in the bag they provides for the Nexus one with the sleeve which is supplied in the nexus one package?
Thanks.

So is this a sleeve/pouch the phone slides into, or is it like a gel case?
its similar to the neoprene case that comes with the phone, but since its suede its thinner material and allows the audio(which is already quiet) pass through a little better, PLUS this also has a small pocket on one side that can be used as a credit / id / business card pocket
Awesome sleeve
Just wanted to bump this thread because of an awesome product.
I just dropped my N1 on concrete while trying to get in my car/fiddling with keys . That's about a 4 ft drop. luckily it was in this sleeve. no scratches whatsoever. I have their neoprene sleeve for my laptop but this suede jacket is awesome. It feels just like a thin piece of cloth but it very resilient and cleans the screen too. not bulky at all.
So it appears there are official keyboard and dock/charger options...but is it possible to use say a third party keyboard with the Touchpad? If so will any bluetooth keyboard work? Are there any other docks that work other then the HP one?
My Apple Bluetooth keyboard works without a hitch.

Post Cheap HP Touchpad Accessories, Sleeves and Covers
Looking for cheap Accessories, Sleeves and Covers, so if you find some share with us as I am sure many people will be looking at getting some.
a question for people who have had them for some time, is a case or screen protector necessary? Does the screen scratch easily, or will I be fine without one? I never like to use cases, my evo and xoom were fine without one, but i keep hearing that the build quality of the touchpad is not that great so thinking about getting something to protect it.

jonhern,
I would say a case is necessary just to make your tablet more portable. I would hate to put it in my backpack and mess up the screen because you don't have a case around it. I don't think the screen protector is necessary, but if you don't want a case it might come in handy. Just remember, you'll have a 10 inch piece of glass floating around that would be very easy to scratch.
Also, this isn't really a cheap case but it is very high quality:

I have a version of this case for my nook color and love it. It's very sturdy, looks quite professional, and has a built in stand with multiple positions. It is worth the money!

Yeah, when i took my xoom anywhere i would just stick it into my leather folder legal pad. nothing ever happened to it. just worried about the build quality of the touch pad and if it would be more prone to scratches, on the shiny plastic body and glass. the xoom was metal and glass, so felt more sturdy.
seen a few on ebay around 15 to 30 dollars for synthetic leather...

You need to be careful with the third party cases. Yes they may be cheap and look night, but they can hamper the tablets functionality.
I purchased the offical HP case off of amazon.
Why? Because it does not cover the bezel.
There is a swipe up function in webos that is suppose to be pretty neat, but typically (depending on your orentation) you swipe up from the bezel at the bottom to activate this feature. The feature actually only uses a pixel wide sensory area at the bottom of the screen...but people at precentral report difficulty activating this feature when the bezel is covered.
Hence why the touchpad case from hp does not cover the bezel.
People looking for info on buying a TouchPad and/or accessories should check out the action on SlickDeals.net. There are a bunch of recent threads on TouchPad totalling over 10 MILLION VIEWS!
Compatible $5 iPad 2 sleeve for HP TouchPad @ VZW
Several people on FatWallet have been reporting success with this iPad 2 sleeve from Verizon Wireless, currently for $5. Owners say the TouchPad fits just fine. Be forewarned though - VZW has a $35 restocking fee return policy, so if you buy, buy knowing you'll be keeping it if it doesn't work out for some reason. Not like you're out a lot, anyway.

How did you pair it?
I selected keyboard in Bluetooth and turned on my Apple Bluetooth keyboard and my touchpad could not see it.
Also anywhere to get another charger with the proper 5.3v 2amp at a reasonable price? You can't use just any USB charger because if it puts out only 5v it will take about 3 days to charge.

I would be interested in hearing what make/model you ordered, and how well it fits the tablet. I'm looking for something to keep the fingerprints away .
Anyone ordering an iPad cover for use with the TouchPad needs to be sure to order a cover designed for the original iPad, not the iPad 2. The original iPad dimensions are extremely close to those of the TouchPad, but the iPad 2 is much thinner. The TouchPad will not fit in most cases designed for the iPad 2.
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?

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.

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.

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.

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

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..

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.

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

Does someone use the Roxfit SMA5154BG? Looks pretty comfortable and is mid-prized.

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:

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.
