Well, I wanted to have a dock for my gTab, and I think I can get one (here in China anyway). Basically I realised that the Viewsonic gTablet is a re-label of the chinese branded Malata Zpad. The Zpad comes in a pack with leather(ette) protector case, a screen protector, and a dock. The dock can be bought separately here in China (taobao). Now the Chinese immediately say that if it's not the same brand it won't work, which is an easy answer, and silly considering the CHinese are out for one thing: your money.
In any case, the Zpad and the gTablet are physically identical. Same screen, same buttons on the top right corner (in landscape mode) and same connectivity on the left hand side, with the 30-pin connector on the bottom.
Difference is the label stuck on the device and the front bezel in silver coloured plastic rather than full black plastic.
I don't see the difference, and although I can understand that software could manage I/O's I don't see why this dock shouldn't work for the viewsonic gTablet.
However, if someone has another opinion I gladly hear it! (if so, and explanation would be useful...).

Sorry if I'm confused but I'm not sure what you are asking here? The ones that I purchased are the Malata ZPAD dock and work fine with the GTAB. I wrote up a review and everything worked right outta the box as expected.
I would offer to sell you one but if your in China then I would just grab one locally
Hello. I hope I am posting this in the right place and please forgive if not. I have had my Gtab for about a month and like it a lot. I have TNT lite 2.2.0 on it. I just got the dock and cant seem to get the ethernet working. Dont even see an option in settings for it. Any help would be greatly appriciated.
Thank You

I think he is talking about the dock that some zpads came with stock. Its bigger than the one you have.
Shown here: http://www.aliexpress.com/product-f...een-16GB-1GHz-Tegra-2-3G-GPS-wholesalers.html
Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear about it. Basically, I have the viewsonic gTablet. However it apears to be exactly the same as the Malata Zpad.
In some cases the Malata was shipped with a dock, but the dock can also be purchased separately. I don't know if the stock dock is the same or different from the separately available dock.
This is the dock I am talking about:
http://item.taobao.com/auction/item_detail.htm?item_num_id=8575893517
My question is: Will the viewsonic gTablet work with the Malata dock (as per the link I included)?
Note, I suspect the dock on the link Rothnic provided, is a display stand, used for promo, not an actual docking station, though I could be wrong of course...
it's works ok with Gtablet. it2Steve have tested..
great thanks!

Hey guys,
As some of you probably have read that Malata Zpad ships with an official (perfect fit) leather stand/case, i just wanna share that i have purchased it via the chinese ebay here: http: / /item. taobao. com /item. htm? id= 9003689863
Its 50 RMB so in USD its like 7 bucks. But because i don't have a chinese bank account (and many of you probably don't either) i have to go through a 3rd party (known as a taobao agent - google how to buy from taobao) to get this. It significantly jacks up the prices to about 20 USD. But its still cheaper than the ones unofficial leather cases you see on dhgate and alibaba.
My apologies if this has been posted before (though there are no similar posts showing up).
Cheers.
Hi thanks for the info. Pics and some more details will be highly appreciated.

Looking nice AND it acts as a stand?! Yeah.... how did you make your purchase? I'm all over one of these.. lol
This one the one that you can order with the Zpad I think.
Here's a video showing the Zpad in the case.

Even if it had an opening for the dock, I seriously doubt it could be docked while in the case. The case would simply make it too thick to allow it to dock.
As for the USB and SDcard access... I don't think it that big of a deal for day to day use. You could always cut the case on that side to allow access if you REALLY REALLY wanted it that bad.

I've seen other covers for it with holes for the docking port. So maybe it will work with the cover on, will have to try it out and see.
It is a nice looking case -- but I've already ordered a Kindle DX case based on other recommendations...
If it doesn't fit properly though, I'll definitely consider this one...
Thanks

hello guys! As I go through my research on getting a case that is just meant for my g-tab, finally after a long browsing and searching, it is already available in Amazon! (mostly good for U.S. consumers)
Attached are the pics which I uploaded for you guys to see. Also, it looks like it just came out so there's no reviews yet or maybe I'll be the first one who will write the review!
Will give this a try in Amazon.

Funny they are apparently relocating the tab just like everyone has been doing here. So you pay $10 extra to get someone to mess up with your brand new case with an exacto knife and hot glue
Hope they pre-modded some in advance and you guy don't need to wait for them to get it all the way from china do the mod and then pass it your way.
thats true...at least if I'm not satisfied I can return it easily to Amazon.
I also got the skinomi skin protector so if this case will scratch my screen,I'll be able to tell. I also hope it will hold the tablet well enough.

Thanks for the heads-up on this. I thought about ordering one from ebay, but Amazon is so much easier to deal with, and Florida is soooo much closer than China!
Any have any experiences working the keyboard on this case?
Wenger case
Bought a protective soft carrying case at Best Buy that fits perfectly - it's a Wenger (has the red cross logo). Just took my G Tab in and experimented till I found the right fit. http://www.wengerna.com/search/results.php
Great for travel, but sounds like the Amazon deal may be better.
Purchased the one on Amazon. Ordered Friday and received Monday. Works as advertised. Tab moved from blocking USB. Patch looks great and well done. USB cable more than long enough. This is a WINNER!!!

This case holds the G-tab well. It has the magnetic snap so it won't fall on you. Got mine today, Im satisified with it. Keyboard works too.
here's a quick review i wrote up for androidforums.
-nice material, well made
-keyboard works flawlessly with VEGAn (i didn't even get a prompt, just plug and play)
-keyboard functions will run android commands (i.e. windows button = android menu button)
-stand holds it at a great angle for viewing (this is a must, especially with our screens)
-does not cover any accessory ports (micro/mini USB, headphones, charger) or buttons (power, volume, etc.)
-DOES cover part of left side speaker and all of right side speaker (although you can still hear them)
-no plastic bracket to hold top of tablet (uses the magnetic closing strap to keep it in while upside down which concerns me slightly, although the magnet is fairly strong)
-included stylus does not work (duh)
all in all, i would certainly recommend this case. i am pretty sure that the only comparable ones out for the g-tab right now are $10-15 more than i paid through amazon, do not include a keyboard, and ship from China.
i have much better pics than the ones on Amazon, but i can't post them yet. [email protected] newbie mode!

Received it today! (17th of January to the 2nd) Looks good, keyboard works, modified for the Gtablet (http://witglobal.com/goods-2286-10i...for+Viewsonic+Gtablet+10+-+Free+Shipping.html) so the tablet slides into case from right to left. The left support covers the mini-USB but the USB port is available. Keypad works fine. Case sits a little too upright but I can deal. For $25 delivered it works pretty well. i also received my suction cup holder (http://witglobal.com/goods-2005-Car...nic+Gtablet+10+Car+holder+-Free+Shipping.html) and it is a little less impressive. Currently suctioned to my desk. The arms cradle the unit securely but stick out about 1 inch beyond the face. I will probably put a little velcro to secure it a little better. Not overly happy about the fit but for $20 I might be able to modify it to work. It does swivel nicely which helps for viewing angles.
These along with the dock I received, I think I have all the accessories with the exception of an HDMI cable.

Amazon case
Looks really good, BUT Amazon now says on-order, unknown when back in stock. I am very new to the gtab and still using as it came from the box, a little afraid to try and do to much to it. May just wait for honeycomb.
Greetings all,
I saw this auction, and am honestly surprised I haven't seen anyone bring it up here. I'm honestly curious about it (specifically, how tight it fits), so I'm wondering if anyone is willing to bite? I already bought a different case through the same seller, so I'm strapped to purchase another one, but if someone picks this up and reviews it, I wouldn't mind selling my current one for this bad boy.
Anyone??
When I bought my G-Tablet it came with this case/keyboard combo. Here are some quick thoughts on it:
-its a great combo and does exactly what it needs to do
-build quality of the case is pretty good, materials feel a tad cheap
-stand on the back is VERY useful, held to the case with a magnetic enclosure
-tabs that hold the tablet in place are metal, tablet is held loosely in place on 3 of the four sides, it IS possible that it could slide out if you carry it wrong
-hidden magnet in the "spine" holds the USB plug in place
-keyboard keys are a little small, some keys are tightly crammed into the bottom right hand corner (. , / and shift plus direction arrows)
If anyone has any specific questions, just send me a PM.
Notice the tablet they are showing is not the Gtablet
You can buy these on Amazon for about the same price, if you don't want to mess with an auction.
I ordered one and it was shipped really quickly. It is about worth what you pay for it. It feels a little cheap, but the keyboard seems well-made and sturdy. The keyboard works perfectly fine (Vegan) and it is pretty easy to get it hooked up. The only potential problem I see with it is that there is nothing other than the clasp at the top to hold it in. I certainly wouldn't turn it upside down.

I mean granted. But they had the other G Tablet case that doesn't have the G Tablet shown in pics, and one of the XDA board members showed it off, and it's a nice, snug fit.
i purchased this case directly from the sellers website. i used it often. it is china-based, so i did wait about 30 days for delivery.
i am completely satisfied with it given the price.
Do not buy
This case looks and feels really cheap. It is made from shiny plastic. You will have to remove the metal tab that is on the left side of this case to access the USB port. It doesn't hold the gTab secure at all, it will slip around a lot. The keyboard is plastic and not silicone so it will constantly rub against the screen.
There's already a thread here that people have been discussing this case for months and it is a piece of junk.
Ordered and returned two of these
Each case with keyboard I ordered was defined as specifically made for the Gtab, but in order to use the usb port, I had to bend the left tab out of the way. Each vendor did issue a refund.
I thought the case was ok, and the keyboard worked fine. But having to adjust the tab was unacceptable.
I' m patiently waiting for the bluetooth keyboard and case to arrive at electroniccrap.com.

i got it . keyboard works very well . But tablet doesn't fit tight and you need an other cable to connect from keyboard's cable to g-tablet's usb ^^ it's not really good
Here is a video review of this case made by moi.
Before you roll on the floor laughing at my Asian accent, damn it I'm trying the best I can.
Ok, here it is.
I recieved mine from Amazon a few days ago. Tablet didn't fit in it at all until I bent the Tabs in to hold it better. And you still have to be careful that it doesn't fall out the end. Turns out I don't think I'll use it that much at all anyway, since I mostly use my tablet on the job site. Unless you REALLY need a keyboard, you're better off spending a couple of bucks and download thumb keyboard.

Bluetooth keyboard support is "iffy", at best. Good luck though.
I have one that I got a few days ago from Amazon.
I am not having any problem with it fitting correctly, so it may be that they are just not very consistent.
You do have to be careful about it sliding out the one side when carrying it around and the one clasp does cover the small USB in port for connecting to a computer.
In my case the USB cable had no problem reaching.
The kick stand is a nice feature.
All in all am find it useful but it does have some short coming, so it would not be for everyone, and there are probably better ones out there, though for the price and am happy with this unit so far.
Case/keyboard on Amazon
Newbie here. Got my gtab a week ago and have been looking at this case/keyboard combo. Am I crazy? I thought these were $30-$35 a few days ago. Now $127.50?????

THAT ...... is no bargain.
And a big thank you to all who post the good info here!

Did you plug it in before booting up the tablet? It seems to not work sometimes if you plug it in after the tablet is already booted up.

That worked...I now have a G-TableTop
I got one of these but it was the one marked for Apad/Epad/Gtab so needless to say it doesnt fit exactly but it wasnt a big deal. I am not having to many problems with the case in any way infact my stylus clips on the band quite nicely. I have noticed that the caps lock doesnt seem to work but thats another issue for another day.
Anybody find another case?
Been checking this thread and I am wondering if anyone has found a good keyboard/case? I would appreciate a link if you have found one. Thanks.
Hey~ I just brought a gtablet from woot last week~ it is cool~
1. now I want to buy a case for it? so which case most of you are using now? and where I can buy it?
2. I want to buy a keyboard too...and now I am using the rom TNT Lite 4.4.0~ so which keyboard can be supported by this rom (including the usb keyboard and Bluetooth keyboard)? and where I can buy it?
thank you very much!!!
You can read up on this thread for info about several custom cases for our gTabs.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1013799
And then go to Steve's web store at http://www.electroniccrap.com and see if he has them in stock to order. I would suggest you get on his mailing list there so you will know when he's got new stock coming in.
As for keyboards, there are several that work. About any usb keyboard will work but certain bluetooth keyboards require extra software sometimes to connect.
Take a moment and use the SEARCH feature of this accessories section and you will find all the information you are wanting for this.
At the moment I am using the CLIP case and love it.

Do not buy the case in your eBay link. I've had one before and it is a piece of junk. While does work, it looks and feels really cheap and doesn't hold the gTab securely at all and let's it slide around a lot.

If you're asking about the CLIP case I mentioned in my earlier post then the answer is yes. It holds the gTab very securely.
If you're asking about the usb keyboard case in your first post then no. It lets the gTab slide around a lot.

Well, the holding pieces are made of metal. So, you can bend it until it fits your gtab. You don't want it too tight either or you can't take it out. You need to find your happy medium.
You know why it feels really cheap? Because it is really cheap. For some of us, it works just fine. I go back and forth between a lab and my home. I don't need something that looks like a $300 case to impress anyone.
But again, if it doesn't fit your gtab, all you need to do is bend the metal pieces until it fits. Be creative, man. Isn't that the spirit of modding?

If you get lucky and receive the one that has the left tab moved down so it doesn't block the usb port then sure you can bend the metal to make it hold a little bit better but not much better. Most of the people that have ordered this case from eBay or another site get the one that you have to remove the left tab to access the usb port so there's nothing there to tighten up.
I don't need a $300 case either. I'm pretty happy with a $45 case I got from it2steve's web store.
Amazon was selling them (gtab case with keyboard) but ran out. I spent way to much time, but found the Manufacturer in Chine. They have fixed the tab possitions. Now the left tab is about the center of the gtab, and the other one is on top. They sell for $24.95 with free shipping. Note that it may take up to 30 days go get it:
http //witglobal com/goods-2286-10inch+Case+with+integrated+USB+keyboard+for+Viewsonic+Gtablet+10+-+Free+Shipping.html
Sorry, you will have to add a : and a . to the above url to make it work (I can't post links yet).
If you poke around on their site, you will find that they are still selling the ones that have the left tab up high for $14. I figured I could easily move the tab (I've see several posts about doing this), so I was going to order two of the $14 ones until I found that the shipping was not free. So I ended up ordered the one with the corrected tabs. Will see how long it takes to arrive.

If you get lucky and receive the one that has the left tab moved down so it doesn't block the usb port then sure you can bend the metal to make it hold a little bit better but not much better. Most of the people that have ordered this case from eBay or another site get the one that you have to remove the left tab to access the usb port so there's nothing there to tighten up.

Some of them were made for another tablet, so I'll give you that point about the tab not being in the right place. But your original criticism was about the gtab not fitting nice and tight in the case. My post was a response to that point and that point alone. The tabs are made of metal, so instead of throwing your hands up in the air and cry out "o lord o lord why hast thou abandoned me!?" you could have been a little creative and bend the metal tabs to your liking. Again, being creative is exactly what the modding community is about. 5 seconds to bend the metal tabs too long and hard work for you?

Google image something like "android eating apple blood".
thank you! I saw the website which you sent~ and it seem that there are still some problem with the right one(24.99$)~----there is still no tabs in the right edge of the case~ so the gtablet maybe slide out from the right side~~~

Amazon was selling them (gtab case with keyboard) but ran out. I spent way to much time, but found the Manufacturer in Chine. They have fixed the tab possitions. Now the left tab is about the center of the gtab, and the other one is on top. They sell for $24.95 with free shipping. Note that it may take up to 30 days go get it:

Sorry, you will have to add a : and a . to the above url to make it work (I can't post links yet).

If they put a tab on the right side, how are you going to slide it in?
I don't believe anyone's confirmed this but will the official Asus leather sleeve/case work for the tablet + dock? (I'd post the link but it won't let me at the moment)
I asked Asus directly and they claim that it doesn't work according to the "product manager" but I am skeptical because it is listed as an official paired product with the Asus Transformer on the Amazon page.
Thanks in advance!

Well for one I dont think the sleeve is leather, I dont think it can be used with the dock either. It's just for when you have it undocked
Someone posted pics of one they had got in their boxed bundle (lucky sod, i didnt get one ). It showed that there was only one opening, and that was a speaker side of the case poking out. So, no it won't work with the dock.
There are cutouts for:
Rear Camera
Left side volume up/down and power
Right side Headphone, microphone, hdmi
There are also holes over the speaker area on both sides.
the USB proprietary plug is the only thing exposed on the bottom of the unit. The keyboard dock latches are not exposed.
hey guys I think you guys are confusing my post with the regular Asus Sleeve.
If you look on the Asus Transformer page on Amazon it shows you some suggested accessories.
One of them is:
ASUS INDEX 10-Inch Netbook Sleeve - Black
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002RL8UAM
are you talkibg about that? i dont think that designed specifically for the tf. i think amazon is simply making that reccomendation...since when docked a tranformer probably has the same formfacotr as regular asus netbooks

Yeah that's the one. Okay so as I thought. Probably not worth trying then as the Asus rep said it won't fit.
