Hi....been researching and lurking for about 2 months now.
About 1 week ago I bit the bullet and bought the gtab.....had it rommed in 20 minutes all I can say is wow!!!!!
My question is I am looking for a decent case that acts like a stand and has a keyboard.
If this is posted in the wrong section then my apologizes.....I have searched the fourm several times but can not make up my mind on what to get.

Highly Recommended! I've ordered the dock and the case from Steve. Great guy and quick shipper.
Also, check out this thread for comparison of the cases. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943981

Second that - I have the P3 and think it is great except for the obscuring of the back button, which I plan to fix but have not pulled out the knife yet.
thanks for the referrals... Yes, If (when) I have things in stock I'll do my best to take care of you. I am expecting several things in this week, m1's, p3's, p4's, and more docks. If you check a particular product on the site I will update the 'estimated in stock by...' date as SOON as I have a tracking number in hand. It's never 100% correct but I've only been off one day one time. Also (for those that don't already know) it's VERY beneficial for you to create an account there and 'subscribe' to the newsletter (you might get notice before others do )
good luck, and enjoy your tab!
Thank you all for the advice.
Also I know the rules to do not ask about honeycomb lol.....seen alot of people asking and get burned.
Running tnt lite and this tab has replaced my netbook.

Noticed that first the case review thread was deleted and now a thread about the e-crap site including a post about the review thread being deleted was deleted.
Now theres a nice confusing post. But seriously what gives?

The good folks at xda have temporarily taken the thread down for review.
This really stinks. I had that thread bookmarked so I can go over it later as it has a lot more images than the e-crap website does, as well as a great write up for each case. I hope they re-instate the thread as it was very informative for us just getting the tablet from the Woot sale.
Hmmm. Hopefully they will reinstate the thread and allow Steve to continue operating here: he has done a great deal to help the XDA g tablet community get our hands on accessories, some of which might not even have existed without his efforts.
I actually ordered something from there yesterday. I was a little leary since i hadn't heard about it before. Hopefully all is well.

I wouldn't worry about placing an order, looks as though quite a few people have done business with Steve. I plan to as soon as the latest shipment comes in.
I'm gonna take a guess that the whole thread removal has something to do with a developer reviewing and selling product. I for one appreciate his efforts and am OK with this situation, if that is indeed the problem.

I ordered from him last week. Fast shipment and responded super quick to all my questions. Overall great guy and great experience. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from him again. Not sure why the post was just removed as its been up for a while.
Cool. I will review the CLIP folio when I get it. Thanks guys.
I'm looking for the P4 case review but looks like the same thread is missing. Hopefully it will be back up soon. Anyone has any experience with that case?
I was watching that thread waiting for the black clip cases to be in stock. Where can I get that information now?

I just received the dock today, and I to am waiting for the black clip. I guess I am subscribed since the only link I see on the site is to unsubscribe.

I'll second that.
Steve is a stand up guy. I have bought a couple of accessories from him with no problems - he was very quick in fact - and watched many others here do likewise. I have yet to see anybody write a bad word about him.
If the thread was pulled, it is most likely on a forum posting rules issue: there is actually a Marketplace forum on XDA somewhere - anybody here actually check that forum?? - and it may be that his cases thread should be in there, according to the rules.
Thing is you need several posts to even read that forum. I can't remember the last time I went there and I would guess quite a few folks in here would say the same.
Yep. I have purchased from that site as well. Fast shipping and fair prices. Plus I liked the review thread because it gave good information and was not what I would call just marketing.
Steve also posts over at AndroidTablet, and there is a review thread there as well
I'm disappointed by this as well, because I too had the thread bookmarked. I don't have enough posts to use the XDA marketplace, and I don't like to make BS posts just bump my post-count. If I have nothing constructive to say, I don't say anything. (except maybe this post )
Which of his cases are compatible with the dock without removing the tablet from the doc? Since I can't find detailed pics, based on reading the description it seems like just the clip, but, maybe others are as well?
I really enjoyed reading the updates I can't wait for the black clip to come into stock
I ordered the White CLIP, didn't want to wait for the black in case they never come in. Don't really care about the color.
Does anyone know if his shipment came in?

Will this work with cases that we have already? For example, it just replaces the existed door, right? Doesn't add any more thickness so we can't use the existing cases we have? Thanks in advance. I'm asking because I read the reviews on the BestBuy site and two of them say that it does add bulk slightly. Just don't want to buy this thing and then find out it's a matter of using this and not being able to use my existing case with it.

Not 100% as I don't have one yet, but I think it might add some additional thickness. So my guess is you will need new case. Maybe someone who purchased already can answer this better than me.

There's one listed on 23rd street and 6th ave here in the City. I was going to go and buy it in person and try it with the tough case I bought a week or so ago already on the phone. Figure I can always return it if they don't have a restocking fee.
Will post more information tomorrow once I check it out.
Thanks for the information, regardless. Much appreciated.

It does add some thickness. Not so much that you will notice it in your hand, but enough that most fitted hard cases will not fit properly. This is a discussion worth reviewing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2609406
I went to the BestBuy in 44th and 5th in the City. They're clueless. Two guys with "Samsung Experience Specialists" jerseys or jackets or whatever those zip up things are, the guy kept trying to sell me something COMPLETELY unrelated to what I wanted. Finally I asked him if he had the Qi-compatible charging stand and he said no. Said he only gets "about 2 in a week". I gave up and walked out.

FWIW, I live very close to Best Buy's HQ here in MN. I know a lot of good people employed by them. With BB being a hometown store here I am rarely more than 7 or 8 minutes from a store location wherever I travel in town... That said: I drive past all of them in favor of any competitor, even if I have to go further and/or spend a little more. I do not feel they practice good business ethics as a company, and I do my best boycott them. I do some consulting work, and on occasion am forced to buy a computer component from them. I have had to do this 7 times in the last 10 years, and 5 of those times ended up with a sales person who either lied, or was completely clueless sharing bogus information as fact - in spite of their being the in-store "expert". Good luck to all who shop there, but please don't count on their staff to help educate you on making a sound purchase.
I emailed Carved to see if they'd be producing cases for the Nexus 6 since they currently make cases for the N5 and this is what I got back:
"We are continuing to add new products to the Nexus line. Please keep checking our site for updates!"
That sounds like a yes to me! Not sure how many people like/use these cases but their N5 cases look great in person. I got a buddy with a cedar case for his N5 and it's great looking plus feels good in the hand. They're wooden backed with a snap on hard plastic rubber edge and you can choose from a variety of design/wood types. They're not the most durable cases but if you're into cases that are borderline art, these are for you. I can't post links yet, this is actually my first post, but if you visit carved.com and click 'shop' you'll see a link to their current N5 case selection.
Sweet cases! How bulky are they? Is hard to tell from the pictures on their site.

They're pretty low profile. I didn't have another N5 case to compare it to but the carved case didn't add a lot of extra bulk.
I have never heard of these cases before, but now I must have one. I really hope they add the Nexus 6 to their line.
Oh very nice! I'll get bamboo on my N6 after all. and they take bitcoin!!
That huge phone with a real wood back, or one of those puzzles... Sweet. I'm glad I swung in here today and found out about Carved.

Of a particularly relevant note here--they apparently do base what phones they offer cases for based on user demand, so it's actually kind of important to leave them a comment at http://www.carved.com/contact-us explaining why it would be a Good Idea to make a case for the Nexus 6. (One thing I did note to them is that--with a difference in scale, of course--the same template would be usable on the Moto X 2nd Gen AND the new Droid Turbo as pretty much all the Motorola phones are on the same rough body build. It does help in my case that I've built tooled leather cases for non-phone stuff, so I do kind of know what is involved in making a good case design. )

I did that as well... I plan to have my wife leave something, too. They sent me a $1 off coupon for my interest.
E-mail sent
and a facebook post also on the facebook fan page! I want an Ironside full wood case..that would be so awesome! love their work! their art! the skateboard one and the live ones also look cool...the ebony ones too..the full ones..i don't want no inlay one...i want that full wood look!! ha...yeah...love the art!
I've never been one to use cases on my phones but these are really nice. I've been intrigued about these wood finishes since I've seen the bamboo back option for the Moto X. Might have to pick one of these up. I'll shoot them an email to help them gauge demand.
looks like it may not be happening right away...
Hi iomthd,

I bought 2 solid wood cases for me and my wifes Note 3's and both cases broke within 2 weeks really bummed me out because that case always got people's attention. It was not from carved.com so i don't know if there solid wood offering would be more durable.
Man I hope they come out with some soon.
So I submitted a request through Carved's website. My submission is in bold. Their response is in italics.
First, why are you contacting us?: Are you going to make a case for...
What device do you want us to make a case for?: Nexus 6
In your most convincing voice, tell us why we should make a case for your device??: This device is awesome and is very popular! So popular in fact, that it's been pretty much sold out since its release! It's being sold on all four major carriers and I would love to see one of your beautiful cases surrounding my device. If you make it, I will buy a lot.
Hi Robert,

The case they use for the nexus 5 appears to be a ringke slim.
Such a shame that Carved still haven't brought out a case for the N6. Has anyone found a good alternative elsewhere?

I wanted to let you know that Carved.com asked me to beta test a Nexus 6 case on the 25th, it should be here in the next day or two, not sure what the rules are about testing it so I will confirm if I can post pics and comment on it. But I wanted to share that it is making progress.
I know a few people on here been trying to get answers about a bumper case since the Rhino Shield one fell through. I emailed and posted questions on Case Mate's Facebook page weeks ago and never heard back, so recently decided I would asked the same question over and over again every time they post something to Facebook and I'd post to their page everyday and email them everyday till I got an answer. Finally heard back this morning. Now the answer I got sounds like they will be making a Hula Case for the N6. The sentence that answers my question is kind of worded like someone with broken English wrote it. Here's the email I got:
Thank you for your interest in Case-Mate products. We are very excited to have cases available for the Hula Case for the Nexus 6. We know you are excited to get a case for your new device!
We will be updating our case selection daily as new inventory arrives. We do not have specific information on when the case or color you are looking for will be available. If we did, we would be the
first to share! Please make sure to click on the "notify when available" button on the product page so we can let you know when we have what you are looking for.

I hope this comes true, the Hula would be perfect for the Nexus 6
I want one so bad!!!

I'm guessing that someone didn't get the memo... Its nothing new to see conflicting CS experiences when inquiring about a product. I wonder which one will become a reality.

Maybe we should wait a week or two and ask them again. The Hula is the only bumper that I have seen recently that looks good unless another company wants to take up the challenge.

Not to mention that if another company tried, there would be patent stuff conflicting. I think we should just wait for a while.

Hi everybody
I have 2 Touchpad's that have unfortunately died, there's no damage to them but they refuse to charge.
I've now bought a Samsung galaxy tab pro so they are are up for grabs.
I would prefer collection but am happy to post with a sae if necessary.
Basis all the support and advice I've received here I would like to give back to the community.
Also have a couple of touchstones that are only being used as stands for my samsung.
I'm not on line as much as I used to be (Health reasons) so please DON'T expect an immediate response.
I will obviously be looking at post count and number of thanks when requests are in.

My oldest daughter uses our TouchPad, and has for years. My son is old enough now to be jealous. I would love to have another touchpad. I'd be happy to see if I could get one or both of those working and set them up with KK so that my kids can be on equal footing. I'm not familiar with 'collection' or 'SAE', my wife deals with shopping and shipping a lot more than I do. Do you have any takers yet?

SAE stands for self addressed envelope, yes one the big contributers has also asked for one. I believe that shipping cost to the US /Canada are approximately £20 ($32).I'm happy giving them away and will probably chuck in a Touchstone with each but don't want to be out £40 ie 20 per.
I will check on the cost and report back .
Roland you definitely have one to play with, I can't believe that haven't got one bearing in mind all the tutorials you have done.
If you and Roland are OK with that I'll get it organised next week or when ever is convenient.
Please note that I can't guarantee that you are able to get it to charge. They haven't been dropped but just refused to charge. Hopefully if you can't get it working you can cover your costs by selling for part's.

Hey, I ran this idea by my wife, and while I thought it was a stellar idea, she didn't agree. I really appreciate the offer, so I won't be able to go through with it after all. Sorry
Hey buddy, i would be glad to take one of those off of your hands along with the touchstone, i live in Colorado, please pm me and I'll get you whatever you need to get it out to me, thanks!
I would like one please, I'm here in the UK west middle-lands which would make it easier for you.
Hi
If you still have one of these I would love to have a play with it. I am actually in Brighton so could collect from you as long as you are accessible by bus (I don't drive)
Have you left them on the charger for hours??? I had the issue a couple times where they wouldn't charge, but after leaving them on the charger for hours they finally came back to life. Also, does the little light flash across the home button when you put them on a charger?
I am also interested. Any chance either of the TouchPads are the white 64-gig devices?
I understand at this point I am last in line, so if other takers back out, please let me know. I can paypal you the money ASAP.
--McBean
I'll take one. I need it for parts.
@sstar Great thing you're doing, happy with my touchpads but would love a touchstone if you have one still. Contribution wise, my Touchpad Automated Installer has had 17500+ downloads so helped a fair few people!
