Hi!
What do you think of this case? It's $26 with shipping on witglobal.com
More expensive on Aliexpress (around $45).
It's supposed to be suitable for the ZT-180 (278x185x25mm), the Flytouch2 (267x17.5x14mm) so it should be ok for the G-Tablet (210x140x14mm).
I think the keyboard is made of silicon (to be confirmed) so the screen will be well protected. With a Bluetooth mouse, it could be a nice laptop!
If somebody already tried this, a review will be really appreciated!

Looks pretty nice. I'm interested. Tell us how it works out.

Just a heads-up. I got it on eBay for 17.99 with 9.99 shipping. just received it yesterday.
No offense to the manufacturers, but its definitely China-made . The case, while cheap does exactly what you want it to do, and does it well. I had to cut (with scissors) the left (when facing it head on) "leg" that holds your tablet and drop it down to match the right "leg" so it doesn't block your USB slot for the keyboard.
I might post some pictures later, but at 28.00 total with shipping, I'm very happy with my purchase!
Just don't expect this thing to be 100% best quality case ever....cuz its not .
Thanks!

I don't have the G-tablet yet...but I will have one imported by a friend for Christmas (we don't have it in Europe at this price, Sears sells it at $455.99 for international orders ). Just starting to plan things to buy and to do with this promising tablet...

How did the keyboard work? The arrow keys did they work?
Here is the link for the $25 one with free shipping: http://witglobal.com/goods-1846-10+...10+A8+infotmic+Tablet+PC+-+Free+Shipping.html
You will be very impressed with how the keyboard portion works. The arrow keys and everything work just as planned. Hell, the Windows key on the keyboard even activates the "menu" key! Esc acts like the back arrow, etc. The keyboard "just works" when plugged in. I'm using TnT Lite 2.2 and it works immediately just as you would expect.
Now to get PSXdroid and other emulators setup with that keyboard..... .
Just a quick FYI....since this screen is not resistive (thank god) the stylus that comes with it does not work. I'm sure you can go by a knock-off stylus for iPad that has the correct composition to trigger a capacitive touchscreen and slide it into the little holder for the stylus thats on the inside spine of the case.
More on the "cutting" i had to do and the quality of the case. Its basically (on each side) two pieces of faux leather that are glued (i think hot glue / rubber cement / gorilla glue?) so...it seems cheap to the eye. But i kinda like that...since i had to move that left "leg" anyways...I have a jar of rubber cement and i just re-lathered the two layers with it and sat something flat and heavy on it for about an hour and its still good.
But again, in my opinion, totally worth the $28.00. I've seen just a kickstand for iPad for 33.00 at Walmart. So....yeah....this is a steal until tablet accessories drop in price. The kickstand on this bad boy is primitive (kickstand with cloth strap strapping it to the case) but works fantastically! Also, apparently the kickstand itself has some sort of magnetism to the case....so it doesn't just "flop open" when ever you hold the case weird.
Here's a super-crappy youtube i just did to show off somethings on the case. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WYXEmgDu0E
Hope this helps. Please feel free to ask more questions as I'm glad to answer them.

Thanks for the information. I'm currently using a generic Targus zipper pouch and would much rather prefer this case with the keyboard and stand.

I'll Stongly Second this... I've had this case that I had originally bought for my ZT-180 tablets... the mod to move the U bracket I hadn't tried till I just read this and it took me 5 min with an Exacto knife and a small flat screw driver as the U bracket has about a 3" T inside that holds it stable so you have to work it a bit to break the glue free...
Well worth the money...
I'd love to get something like;
http://www.brookstone.com/ipod-acce...sory.html?bkiid=hmpg|mn_best|topgifts|654186p
But for the difference of ~$28-$99 I'll keep what I've got till someone comes up with one with a BT Keyboard AND J key or touchpad mouse...
Thanks for the heads up on this affordable tablet case! I just ordered one and hope it'll arrive before XMas.
I got the 7 inch version of this expecting to get an archos 70 250gb but those are a myth, im actually going to sell the 7 inch version with screen protectors and get the 10 inch version linked above

Cool, lets see how it works. Count me in.
I bought one from ebay had it in 3 days from Houston to CA.
Removed the left mount and dropped it down a few inches so it was not covering the USB.
It was quite easy with a small flatblade screw driver hobby knife and epoxy. I had a working case in 10minutes.
Will this one work? It is from the same place but it costs $15.00

E and B Key problems
I picked this case/keyboard up and have found that whenever I press the "e" key on the keyboard it will always open up the email app (and not enter the "e" I wanted) and the "b" key will always act like the "Back" button. The keys function as expected when plugged in to my Win7 machine.
Has anyone else seen this behavior on their Gtab?
Thanks in advance

That happened to me with a USB keyboard. A reboot with the keyboard plugged in fixed the issue.
Waiting on delivery
Still waiting for delivery of my case w/keyboard to arrive from China. It shipped out on the 12th and I'm hoping to get it in before XMas so I can give the G-tab and case to my gf. Can someone who ordered from the same place tell me how long it took for yours to be delivered?
Two Cases Arrived Today. WOW!
Ordered on Dec 8th - shipped Dec 10th. Arrived today. Quality problems described earlier in the thread are GONE! This is a very high-quality stand/keyboard - no need to cut and/or glue anything. As described earlier the keyboard worked straight out of the box (TnT v 2.2). No compatibility issues at all - function keys and Windows key worked as advertised. My son has a $60 iPad case (and an iPad, ugh!) This blows it away - better quality, better looks and a keyboard that works. I'm typing this on it now ...
Happy day ...

So are you saying the case you received did not have the tab covering the USB port ("no need to cut and/or glue anything")?
Several sources were mentioned in this thread. Can you point me to where you purchased this as I'd love to get one.

Its a nice low profile folder style case, priced reasonably at $17 shipped.
Only problem is apparently there is no side tabs (two bottom ones and one at top),
For some reason (unlike the rest of the stuff) its not listed on witglobal web store.
Find the ebay listings here.
Update: they have listed it on their webstore as well (for $16 shipped).

Update : they have also added a tab-less version (with 4 straps) for $17
Update : they have also 3 official Malata cases v2 (doesn't block the USB port) for $16 shipped.
Looks really nice and slim. But I don't understand what prevents the GTab from sliding out the side of the folio case. With tabs only on the top and bottom, it seems like the GTab can slip out sideways by accident.
Looks like someone bought it. If the buyer is on this forum, hopefully they'll come back here to post a review.
Just sent a couple of questions to the seller about that, hopefully I'll have a positive response. If nothing else, you could always get some foam or rubber to put on the tabs themselves, I would imagine that would keep it nice and snug in there, and protect the tablet from any scratches.
I would expect it to be a tight fit and friction would hold it in.
There are 10 cases sold so far (7 from the expired US listing and 3 from the current listing).
Lets hope any of these makes its way on of the members here.
Looks too unstable for me. I would be crying if it slipped out and hit some concrete.
Hello. Iave order one of these case but still haven't receive it. I will let you know if its ok
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Stability of the Case
I would agree about the possibility of gtab sliding out of this case. I have one of their USB cases with clips on the left side as well as on the top and bottom and occassionally, the gtab will slip out the right side if I put it in my backpack the wrong direction. I would much rather see the unit slide in from the top down so that the case clasp would hold it in and have clips on the other three sides (left, right and bottom). I would think that a little velcro might be a good idea. I have the soft side of two long velcro strips on the back and it slides in and out ok. Not sure what would happen with the thickness of the assembly with the clips and velcro. It might be too large. I use the velcro when I use the gtab on my treadmill. Holds it from excess vibration from running.
As far as Witglobal goes, ordering process went smooth, took about three weeks total time to receive the case from them.

Thanks for letting us know. I figured someone here would buy one of these cases! Anyway, I'd love to hear how the case works out after you receive it. Some photos of your GTab in the case would also be nice!
Just Ordered One
I just ordered one. I'll let you know how it goes when I get it. I already got the case with keyboard from the same company. It took 3-4 weeks for it to come in, so don't be in a rush if you decide to order something from them.
As for this case not having tabs on the side, if the tab does seem to slide a bit I may glue a rubber mat/mesh to the back of the case, the same stuff used in tool boxes, drawers, etc. I would assume between the mesh and the friction of the tabs the tablet will stay in place.
How thick is the whole thing once the GTab is installed? Also, can the flap that covers the screen fold all the way back or does it only go a little over 90°? Very interested.

Looking at the pics, I would assume it would be like the case I already have. Yes, the cover will fold back on itself, but then the kickstand will not be able to fold out. Although it is possible to fold the cover back and open the kickstand on it.
Hope that answers your question.
Sorry fo the delay, I've been busy.
I'll let everyone know when it comes in.

Hi all sorry to kinda steal the thread but ...
Hope someone can help
Can anyone please confirm that the witglobal site is a real one and not a fake, it would be one thing to buy accessories for a couple of dollars, but another sending out 400$ for a tablet that would never show up
I've been searching the internet like crazy and yahoo answers says their fake (well someone does) and their company is registed at some room in an appartment building, so ...
Also i do live in western europe so if anyone has any knowledge for me that would be great.
thx in advance.
Why would you buy from them a $400 tablet ?!?
No more reliable alternatives ?
If its the g-tab you are looking for why not check at steve's store ($350 + shipping).
Any way, if you really must shop at witglobal for such high ticketed items, make sure you use paypal, if within 45 days you are not satisfied with your transaction paypal will get you your money back.
Hope that helps,

Thanks for the images, how is the build quality ? does it look cheap as it cost
do you think it wont slide out of the case if the case is hold vertically (being put in or taken out of a bag or something) ?
Also it would be great if you can post a link to that second seller you found

The build quality is good better from other cases I saw. The first thing I did was to hold the case vertically and shake it to see if it will slide out. its very tight. I will post the link tonight

How do you insert the GTab into this case? Do you sort of snap it into the case from above, and the clips grab the tablet? Or do you sort of slide the tablet in from the side? If the clips are very tight, then I imagine sliding the tablet in from the side may scratch the edges of the tablet?

i snap it into the case from above. but it its possible also to to slide it from the side but i thing its easier to snap it.
the seller i bought from ebay is specnur34
Bottom line: I like it. I have a Xoom hard clamshell case and, although it protects the device, it's almost "too hard". This ASUS sleeve is exactly that -- a sleeve. It's light and does what I need it to do -- protect the screen and give me the ability to prop it up.
It is similar to one of the GTAB sleeves, in that the device slips in and there's a fold that you slip between the device and the sleeve to hold it in place. Tiny velcro holds the cover in place, when it's closed (no magnets).
Caveats: No velcro on the back, if you want to hold the item open (easily fixable) and the camera in the back doesn't always fit exactly to the hole - they might have been better off making that hole a little bigger.
I got this at B&H when it was available for about 30 minutes, yesterday.

Looks identical to an opacity case I had. It worked well but I felt it actually had a tendancy to scratch the screen when sliding in and out.

from the pics it looks to me like there is an opening for bottom connector but not for the keyboard dock latches... can you tell us if the Transformer can be docked or is the opening simply to connect the cables for charging etc....
thanks, FredPlex
The opening and fit of the camera really bothers me but thanks for the review though.
+1 The fit of teh camera is awful. Plus I wish it was leather (real or fake) I don't like the soft velvet-like look. Too bad, It's exactly what I need in a case though. I hope someone make something similar that's leather soon.

It's designed as a standalone - there are not openings for the latches, only the USB / charging port.
Agreed on the camera - it's annoying. It does what I need but at $45 (with shipping) I think it's a bit high. $25 would have been more reasonable.
Think maybe attaching a thin strip of something of something to the inside of that flap that folds under might push it up a teensy bit and allow the camera hole to line up?
I cancelled my order after reading this thread. Thanks for the review & pictures.

Yes, that would probably work. probably some double sided tape would do it.
Nothing like a little DIY......
EDIT: the problem is that the device is not 100% snug with that little flap at the bottom. So it moves just a bit and that obstructs the camera slightly. A little tape or velcro there might actually be the best bet.

Well, the pics were to show you so at least you could make an informed decision. Right now we don't have too many options, unfortunately.
I actually like the design, texture, and benefits of this. The camera hole is minor and not a deal breaker. It looks great closed too.

I've had one of these on backorder through Amazon since launch night, but just jumped ship to NewEgg, since they have stock, and Amazon are still projecting May 11th or later.
I am not terribly worried about the rear camera hole, because frankly, when the case is tilted in "stand / easel" mode or whatever you call it, I'm not very likely to be using the rear camera in the first place. It will be aimed at the table about three feet behind my tablet, after all.
For me, the important thing is that the tablet itself is at least reasonably protected when placed in a bag with other items. The stand functionality might be nice to have occasionally for movie watching in a hotel room, or on an airline tray table if there's room, but beyond that I'm not likely to use the tablet in the case a lot...
My case came in today. While the camera hole is a bit misaligned when propped upright, if you actually run the camera app, it doesn't affect the view. Also, the lower position, the one meant for typing, makes a world of difference for that purpose -- I was able to type faster than normal and didn't make a single typo during my testing (at least none that couldn't be autocorrected).
I don't think the case is worth $40, but I wanted something that would prop it up, and a plain sleeve didn't fit the bill. It actually doesn't look half bad in person, especially when it's closed up. Nice tacky material makes it difficult to lose your grip while toting it around. The material on the flap that covers the charging port when closed is pretty thin, so an adventurous type might be able to cut a hole there, but I think I'll leave it be.
My only real complaint is that when it's in the upright position, it wobbles a bit when you press the screen. It would've benefitted from a more rigid material.
Just got mine in today as well.
It does take away from the device's attractiveness, but overall I like it. The low standing position is fantastic for typing on a normal layout keyboard, just have to switch back and forth between thumb keyboard and Android keyboard when you're using it with and without the stand.
I was able to use it today as an alarm clock, propped up in the high standing position, worked great. It's a little expensive, but the improved functionality is worth it.
My only real problem is that it may have been better if it were backwards. When propped in the high standing position (case is aligned with the camera hole in the back and ports on the side), the charger cable goes to the bottom of the tablet. That means that the tablet's weight will be on the charging cable when standing upright, and I worry that this puts unnecessary pressure on the cord. I've had two many charging cords torn from bad angles to be comfortable with this. Considering putting the case on upside down, because I really don't use the back camera or HDMI/mic ports too often.
When used in the low standing position, the charger cable goes into the end facing away from you, this is OK for me, although the short charger doesn't help things.
Other than that, though, I like it.
Do you have access to the charging port to plug it in without having to remove it?
Yes, there is a cutout for the charger, as well as for hdmi and mic ports, camera, and power and volume.

You do have to have the cover flap open though, unless you want to cut a hole where the charger port is (which is do-able, but I don't trust my hole-cutting skills).
Is it just me or does the case look really cheap? Maybe the pictures don't do it justice. It looks like something that could be purchased on eBay or dealextreme for $10. I'll wait for those cases
Hi All,
I received both the CaseCrown Bold Standby Case & CaseCrown NetBook Case this week as was pretty impressed by both so I figured it was worth it's own thread. I'm also posting a bunch of pictures here in the OP so people can see what they look like in use.
CaseCrown Bold Standby Case
Amazon Link
The Bold is pretty much everything you would expect. The case is relatively rigid and the Transformer fits in it perfectly. Very clean, tight and professional. The tablet definitely feels protected. Although, obviously, like any case of this type you don't want to drop it as there is no real shock absorption.
The tablet slides in the bottom and then you tuck the flap in. The flap has a velcro connection on the inside so that it will not slip. There is no way this tablet would come out of the case accidentally except for intentional abuse.
The magnetic closure is good. You could argue that it "could" be a stronger magnet except I think it is perfectly fine. It will not come open accidentally under normal use.
The material is good although I'm not sure whether it is real leather or not. Doesn't really matter because I think it looks fine either way. Material looks professional. The only annoyance is that the shipper shipped my unit in just a bubble mailer so there are a couple "dents" on the front (see last pic). Hopefully these will go back to normal after some time.
The case basically has 4 orientations total: closed, book (cover folded flat back), vertical landscape and horizontal landscape (keyboard position). This isn't quite the level of "adjustability" you get with the multi-angle cases but I thought that was fine. Even when I was holding my tablet by itself, these were the main angles I used anyway. The main gap in the design is a lack of a 45 degree angle but I didn't need it and knew that when I purchased this. I also love that you can fold the cover flat back like a book for reading.
There are holes for all ports including the front and back camera as well as the light sensor and microSD. No issues here. The back camera hole doesn't appear to block the camera lens like some other cases I've seen. I actually would have preferred if the microSD was covered so that I couldn't accidentally eject it but I know most people prefer this to be open.
Overall, an excellent case. I highly recommend it.

CaseCrown NetBook Case
Amazon Link
The NetBook Case is currently only $7 shipped and fulfilled by Amazon. Fortunately I still have my Prime membership so buying this was pretty much a no brainer. This case works EXCELLENTLY as your only case. It fits the tablet by itself to a T. It feels snug and protected in this case. The only downside is that the straps are made for a netbook so it isn't totally secure if you are holding the tablet in it with the case open. It works "okay" like this if you are just watching media though (I did it the other day). I don't have a dock but I'm pretty sure a dock will fit. There is a bit more room and this case is made for a netbook afterall.
The material on this case is very good and I really like the padding. It looks pretty professional although due to the size it could easily be mistaken for a "man bag".
The Transformer does fit in this case while it is ALSO in the Bold. However, it is a pretty tight fit and I worry that the edges of the Bold will curl from how tight it is. Due to this, I am strongly considering returning the NetBook case now that I have the Bold.
Overall, this is a great "everyday" carrying case. Only issues are that you could NOT fit the charger in there (I bought it knowing that and only use this for single day trips) and it will not properly accommodate the tablet if you have a case on it.
Nice - thanks for the long review.
I think I will wait for the TechTree review before I decide.
Goddam, why there is no Clip-in system cases yet? I'll never buy a case with such a bezel !
thanks bro for sharing i went and bought on since i cant find one in the wild... protecting my baby Transformer ..cant wait for it
I received my CaseCrown case yesterday. I am really impressed with the quality. It looks and feels very professional.
Some of the cases I have seen on ebay had uneven stitching. Maybe they were sown by hand. Here are a few shots I took to give you guys a closer look.
Let me know if you have any questions about the case. I have gotten so much from these forums; I want to give a little back.
Got mine last night. IN the "up to watch" mode its quite stable. IN the typing mode its a bit floppy and the bottom can come loose if you move it around a bit but given the cost it gets me what I want. I really just wanted the up to watch mode.
Excellent pics, really shows how good the case is with the flap folded all the way back, can't see any over hang. Looks less bulky but solid. Can't wait until they send mine but I am in Canada and we just had a postal strike.
How's the additional weight does this case add on?

Yeah I would have loved something like the Otterbox that didn't cover as much of the bezel. Not too much of an issue though.

Hey my pic of it laying down is a little cut off. There IS overhang. About 1.3 cm.
It does add noticeable weight. Fortunately I have been holding it less now that I have the case.

Thanks for adding more pics to the thread. It looks like your camera hole is a little off. Put the tab in a little tighter. My camera works perfectly if you sit it right.

I don't think the rooCASE is out yet. rooCASE is known for good quality too though. It probably will boil down to preference over whether you want the single angle style or the multi angle style.
oh your right wont be in stock til next week... probably the same time i get my replacement transformer though... hmmm guess ill get this one i really like the design

I don't have the CaseCrown but i do have the rooCase multiangle. Fit is fine, cutouts line up. The 5 or 6 extra dollars that the rooCase costs buys you the multiangle feature plus real leather. The downside is it probably weighs more than the CaseCrown.

Hi,
I just got a gel case and set of 3 screen protectors off of Ebay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/17068638073...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_4357wt_1037
http://www.ebay.com/itm/18072112098...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_4900wt_1037
I'm not associated with the seller, but thought that if anyone was interested:
- The gel case (I got the white one) fits pretty well. Snug, and all the holes in the right places (the power and volume+/- buttons are covered, but slightly raised).
- The protectors were actually not bad. I always hate putting these things on (bubbles, dust), but these were pretty heavy gauge plastic or whatever, so not bad for 3-4 USD (incl shipping).
- Shipping to East Coast U.S. took about 2 weeks (seller shipped next day, but then...).
Just an FYI.
My daughter, who also has an SGP5, bought locally, and paid almost $50 for case and protector (with "lifetime warranty"). She's still telling me she likes hers better, but for less than $10, I like mine ...
Jim
I bought from this seller too !
quality of case & Film is great
but have a little problem about I order black one but sent me red one.
& I e-mail to seller to tell about this problem
he so kind. I deal with him with refund 10% from price. it's not much but I like his responsibility.

I bought this gel case and these styluses,
http://www.ebay.com/itm/180721123550?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
http://www.ebay.com/itm/180658846208?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
This case has two additional cut out area, one for the upper left corner and one to the left of the usb port on the bottom. All cutouts work and the buttons are covered, but the area is raised so its easy to access them.
I originally bought a $10 dollar stylus and these ones are much cheaper. They aren't made of a metal body but they do the job if anyone needs styluses for their device.

White New Soft TPU Gel Case Cover Skin
Thanks to those who recommended this skin cover for the Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 from seller "thomaszoe1314" on ebay.
White New Soft TPU Gel Case Cover Skin For Samsung Galaxy S WiFi 5.0 G70 YP-G70 (180721120989)
I paid $4.88 with free shipping from HongKong! I ordered the white one on 12/15 and was delivered just two weeks later by USPS even with the holiday rush.
It fits perfectly snug and was just right in terms of tightness for installation without forcing too hard. It has solved the problem with the SGP5.0 being hard to hold onto and also when setting it down on a hard surface without a thud.
The skin is attractive and has a couple of unnecessary holes for other versions but they dont do any harm.
Along each edge where where you pick it up, there are nice treads to improve the grip even further.
When sliding SGP5.0 into my shirt pocket the plastic doesn't "stick" to the fabric and make it hard to get into my pocket.
The plastic doesn't stink like some cheap toy plastics and the molding details are all refined and top quality.
The buttons (power and volume) are fully functional beneath the plastic.
Very pleased, and thanks again to the previous posters here that alerted me to this bargain!

Hi,
Actually, I hadn't noticed that, but when I put the 2nd one on another SGP5, there is a piece that covers the home button area that can be popped out (which I actually did). Sorry about not mentioning that in the original post.
Jim
P.S. My SGP5s are all US versions.
Just wanna share this.

- The Wacom Bamboo Stylus Feel for Galaxy Note. If you plan to do a lot of handwriting or just prefer a more pen-like feel.
Personally I prefer a sleeve and a seperate keyboard, so:
- Logitech K810 Bluetooth illuminated keyboard.
- Belkin Flipblade Adjust stand
- Samsung USB OTG adapter
- Logitech m705 marathon mouse (the logitech unifier reciever works with the OTG, so you can use any mouse/mouse+keyboard combo that uses that)
- Samsonite 13.3" Neoprene sleeve
- Samsonite 16" laptop&tablet messenger bag, or the Icicu 13.3" Neoprene tablet bag of I need a smaller bag. (not usually. I'm a woman, carry a lot of rubbish )
And on long days:
- X-Storm ASolar 15,600 mAh powerpack.

Well, I bought a NotePro, that should sufficiently confirm my rather expensive (but quite practical) taste
I figured, if I was going to spend my cash on a bag, might as well get myself one I can use for the next 10 years for everything. It wasn't too bad, considering the tab itself was 900 quid..
I use the keyboard about 25% of the time, so a case with a keyboard certainly would be overkill.

It would still be quite helpful to have your links to see pictures and model numbers. For example, I searched Samsonite 13.3" Neoprene Sleeve and there are several on Samsonite's website with a range of prices.
I also saw the post in which someone compared your Icicu bag dimensions to another (not nearly as elegant) bag. I looked up yours on the Icicu website and was disappointed there was no photo of the bag's interior (or even a closer view of the pockets). I wonder if you might be able to post photos of your bag with and without your things?

I also use this keyboard. I love the backlit keys and the ability to use the same keyboard with my tablet and my pc at the same time, switching between the two by simply pressing a button.
Other than that, I sometimes use a Logitech Zone Touch T400 mouse (I hate the noise the scrolling wheels make and this mouse solves that problem), although I primarily bought it to use with my laptop. The battery lasts forever.
I'm currently using the KLD case. I ordered a black one but it's really more of a dark brown with tan on the inside. I have a black Baseus case on the way.
I bought the Wacom Bamboo Stylus when I had a Note 10.1, but it wasn't as precise as the original pen, so I sent it back.

Most Logitech mouses these days have two scroll options, smooth and toothed. The scroll button changes the setting The smooth scrolling is ideal at night when each click sounds like a gunshot.

It's a fraction the price of the Logitech. I was sure I was going to get the Logitech instead of the Zagg but now I think I should wait to see what other lower cost options exist.

I've had keyboards like that for other tablets and they worked ok for how little I used them. I had one that had issues pairing but that could have been the rom I was running at that time.....If you're going to be doing a LOT of typing then I'd invest in something better. But if you're just going to type once a week or every 2 weeks then this should work
THe thing I don't like about these cases, as well as the logitech one, is they are too bulky. One of the reasons I purchased the Note Pro is for how thin it is for it's size...I want to enjoy that aspect while using it.

I was planning on getting a K810 anyway for home computing and that could have been the answer to everything but then I would have no case. Even if I got a different case it would mean carrying the keyboard separately and paying a premium for a case and separate keyboard like the K810. That was why I thought the Logitech Pro with the built in keyboard was the best choice but now I'm stumped again because of the whole K810 option. If I find a really nice case then maybe I wont mind spending $100 on the K810 and another $50 or so on a case.

THIS is the case I bought and it only costs $13....I really like it a lot and for my needs it works quite well. I want to get the Otterbox case to use at work since I am a physical education teacher there's always that chance of something terrible happening to my technology. It adds bulk but for work at least I'll need something good...I have the Otterbox on my Note 2 and love it!! HERE is the screen protectors I am using and they also work quite well.
Even though I already have the ZAGG keyboard case I think I might also get the Samsung one as well. I here it's much better than the ZAGG & more durable...I'm just waiting for it to drop below $70...

Actually, I did shorten the nib as far as I could but it was still way off. It did not even occur to me to cut off the tip of the pen itself. I paid 45 dollars for it, I wanted it to work without looking like it was hacked by a two year old. So, the logical thing to do was to send it back and recover most of what I paid. I will get a Pilot pen and use that as a holder for the original pen like someone suggested in another thread, and I will have saved myself 40 dollars.

Actually, I did shorten the nib as far as I could but it was still way off. It did not even occur to me to cut off the tip of the pen itself. I paid 45 dollars for it, I wanted it to work without looking like it was hacked by a two year old. So, the logical thing to do was to send it back and recover most of what I paid.

Did you read the specific post? Because I am fundamentally opposed to cutting bits off a Wacom pen. I was describing the steps for the official method of adjusting the sensitivity and the offset...

It would still be quite helpful to have your links to see pictures and model numbers. For example, I searched Samsonite 13.3" Neoprene Sleeve and there are several on Samsonite's website with a range of prices.
I also saw the post in which someone compared your Icicu bag dimensions to another (not nearly as elegant) bag. I looked up yours on the Icicu website and was disappointed there was no photo of the bag's interior (or even a closer view of the pockets). I wonder if you might be able to post photos of your bag with and without your things?

Certainly! I'll take some pictures once I get home!
Ok, the links:

Oh, you meant adjusting the potentiometer? I've tried that too, before cutting the nib, in fact, but I wasn't satisfied with the results. I used it with Note 10.1, maybe it works better on 12.2, but I didn't like it well enough to give it another try. The original pen still works best in my opinion and the Bamboo is not worth the expense.

Just curious to anyone who has this bag, how much room is left in the bag after the tablet is in it? Will it fit the tablet, with a keyboard case, a BT mouse, charger(s), and maybe a handful of odds and ends like a few file folders, pens/pencils, notebook, deck of Yugioh cards, etc.
How tight does it fit in the bag? It says it's for a 11.6" tablet, is the 12.2" Note Pro a tight fit?
I was actually looking at this one for about 50¢ more: ARCTIC MB201 Messenger Bag for Tablet/Laptop up to 12" Display , Water-Resistant Ballistic Nylon - Black

Hmm... Maybe I'll have to look at something a hair bigger.
