Advent Vega Folio Case
I have had my Advent Vega for around a month now and have been concerned about keeping it safe. So a trip to Curry's i picked up the advent vega folio case.
First impressions of the case were good the device slides nicely into the case (although it could be a bit tighter) Giving good protection to the edges of the device. I am confident it would protect from light knocks and possibly minor drops.
There are cut outs for the i/o ports, even the microphone is visible. One of the few bad points is there is no cut outs for the speakers, so the volume needs to be increased.
The material is similar to my v-smart Armour case for my desire hd, a matte black with a textured finish. The pinstripe design inside is odd but not unattractive and there is a compartment for paperwork. The case also doubles as a easel, which is great for propping on the desk or coffee table for movie watching.
Overall, I think this case adds a small amount of bulk for the level of protection and for anybody with any worries about damaging there beloved advent vega, this is a must buy
Edit: Added some pics. Sorry for the poor quality
I am searching daily for a TPU gel skin/case for the vega or its various other variants, but so far I've had no luck, If anyone sees any around then pls let me know!
Hello all
The stock case from dixons et al was to expensive to ask for me xmas pressie.
Is it worth it?
Ive seen other cases at a similar price with a usb keyboard build in, anyone got any experiences of those? (with the usb fix obviously).
or, is the std vega case worth the outlay?
Im also more interested with pound shop ipad screen covers than the 12! pound dixons/curries/pcw ones.
Again, any personal experiences?

I got one of these HP Sleeves from DIXONs, about £21
this was after hearing that the cost v quality of the Advent case wasn't all that..
Its a well made sleeve, its neoprene so fairly water resistant I assume and the Vega rests on it nicely at the right angle for viewing and typing into without slipping off..
I'm really happy with the official case as it offers some decent functionality and a good bit of protection.
Just need to get a dock now!
Definitely looking at getting a folio style case like the official Vegas one, though that one's a bit expensive at the moment. They should really realise that people paying a budget price for the device itself aren't likely to pay a premium for the accessories.

Two days ago I tried the official Toshiba Folio 100 case on my Vega (Mobii 10) and it fitted very well!
And it serves as a stand too!
(look here and click on accessories)
I didn't buy it because of the price: € 39,99 (about 33 GBP)
And I would really love a case with a USB keyboard...
I guess there's none yet that fit's the Vega perfectly without blocking the USB port...
I have ordered one of these:
Leather Case for 10.2" Epad Zenithink Android 2.1 ZT180
From ebay ->
Once received I will report back.
if you can be patient this offering for the upcoming XOOM looks fantastic

not sure what the dimensions for the xoom are though ..

Advent Vega Folio Case
I really dont think £29.99 is a massive amount for a case. Most cases i get for my mobile phones are between £15-£20 and they are about 1/6th the size. I think the official case offers good value for the protection it offers.
Hey
I have the Advent case. I got it from my brother as a Christmas present. When I got it the Vega fit pretty snug and I didn't have to worry about what way I carried it. however after not even a month the Vega now slips out quiet easily.
For the price I'd have to say not worth it and I'd hold off for alternatives

That one from 7dayshop is for an iPad which is quite a bit smaller, so wouldnt expect that one to fit.
Currys now sell a tablet sleeve for the Vega, i cant post links due to post count, but it can be found searching for Tablet Sleeve
I'm also after a decent fitting case

Spot on, about 30mm too short!
As 7DS didn't list dimensions, I incorrectly assumed they were selling the 1 size fits all item that most are buying. Ah well.

Hi
can I to buy this case if I live out of UK??? dixon, pcworld, etc, don't send to Spain anythink...
saludos
I need some help looking for a case. I would like something folio style, but all of the pictures of the M1, Px cases look like they stand very upright. I am looking for a case that will lean back to allow it to sit and use as a keyboard stand. Anyone have any ideas for me?
Thanks!

CLIP
I got a CLIP from it2steve's web store and it works as exactly as you are wanting it to. It comes with 3 grooves on one side so you can have the gTab in 3 viewing angles but if you let it all the way down as shown in the attached photo it's perfect for typing.
As a new GTablet owner I was looking for a good case as well. The Clip looks sweet but it seems to be sold out from it2steve's store.
Anyone know where I can score this sweet looking case?

Yeah, I heard that too about the magnets on the M1.
I am very happy with my CLIP case. In my opinion it is the only Apple quality accessory we have for the gTab at the moment. It's well worth the extra cash and I can't recommend it any better.
Thanks SJ! Exactly what I'm looking for. Appreciate the pic.

I tried moving a small (1/4" diameter x 1/8" thick disk) rare earth magnet near the screen of my GTab, and didn't see any effects. Has anyone else tried any experiments? How large is the magnet in the case?
I saw a clip style case at staples that's made for the xoom- any chance it would fit our g-tabs?

available now both black and white on AliExpress for $58 shipped, if you would rather spend the time waiting for it in transit from Asia rather than waiting for it to get restocked @ Steve.

No. I looked into this a few weeks ago (don't remember where I posted that) and the Xoom and gTabs are different sizes. If I remember correctly the gTab was bigger/longer than the Xoom.

As an M1 owner who's used it for a couple of weeks now, I can tell you that the magnet issue, like most things on the Internet, is blown way out of proportion. I use the tablet daily at work, have used it shopping for replacement flooring/furniture for our flooded gameroom, and sitting on the reclining sofa playing Angry Birds. I've never had a problem with the magnets reducing screen responsiveness or "freaking out". My only complaint is that over time, the GTab tends to settle further down in the case, half-hiding the camera and all but covering the ambient light sensor. If you don't plan on propping it up on a desk as often as I do, it makes a wonderful case.
M1 Case and G Tab Screen
I got an M1 case on Monday so I've had it for 3 days now. The fit, feel and look of the case are all excellent so far on mine, however, the it does mess with the screen. The longer it stays in the case the worse it gets. I have done tests in and out of the case, putting to sleep or not, rebooting or not and now have no doubt it is the case but I am not sure if its actually the magnets or not. It could just be the case itself touching the edges of the screen all day. In any case, (some pun intended) the longer it stays in the case, the harder you have to press the outside portions of the screen to get it to react. Mine eventually gets to the point where you cannot press hard enough to get the keys on the keyboard to function. When this happens I put it to sleep, pull it out of the case, wake it up and it works like new again. I will probably be investing in a black clip myself in the near future. This could just be a problem with my particular Gtab and it may not effect others at all but that is my short bit of experience with the M1 Case.
There's a few black clip cases in stock at it2steve's web store now.

For anyone who doesn't want to spend $50-$60 on a case for a $300 item, WI Global Technology has cheap alternatives. One with clips, one with elastic.
I got the one with clips. For $16 - It's OK.
All ports are accessible.
It's vinyl - NOT leather.
The covers extend about 1/16th" beyond the GTab - just enough protection (for me, anyay)
As you can see. the kickstand angle is about 75 degrees - it would probably be better if it were more like 60.
For $16 delivered, you get what you pay for (maybe a bit more... ymmv).

Hmmm been using the M1 for a few weeks now. Never noticed this magnet issue. I know magnets can mess with hard drives but never heard of it messing with an LCD. Doesn't the ipad 2 smart cover have like 70 magnets?
EDIT: Looked it up, 31 magnets.
Hi guys,
I'm a new Vega user and it came supplied with a neoprene sleeve which is fine as a stop gap but I'm now needing something a bit more substantial.
I'm after a case that the vega stays in permanently but it must have 2 key features.
1) Stiff front to protect the screen when the case is closed and the tablet is in my rucksack
2) double up as a stand in landscape mode
Cheaper the better as my budget is tight, so not expecting anything too remarkable.
I've trawled eBay but none I've seen mention both of the above, so I thought I'd ask here for people's opinions on what they have in daily use.
Links to stores in the uk or eBay uk appreciated, but not essential, as long as I know what I'm looking for.
Cheers,
Malty
Lol maybe see the thread below ures
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
had already read through that thread.
Been thinking about this one..
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....95170&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_4335wt_1156
£11 delivered
I would NOT use that eBay seller, personally, for 2 reasons.
Firstly, they describe the case as "leather", when it obviously isn't. If they will lie about that, what else will they lie about?
Secondly, their negative and neutral feedback suggests that they are not especially nice people to deal with.
The best case to meet your 2 criteria would be the official folio case. It offers the protection you require, only problem is it is not the cheapest case. But in the end you get what you pay for. Totally happy with mine, keep the vega in it all the time.
I don't mind paying if it's right.
Can that one be used as a landscape stand? I've seen it mentioned but never seen a picture of it as such.
Cheers,
Malty
You Can. Posted pics Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908230
I saw that pic (I presume the one in your first post) but wasn't sure how it was held in place.
Is the case locked in that position somehow or is it just held by friction on the desktop ?
cheers,
malty
It is held by friction. My case is a little lose, but a friend of mine has one which is a nice snug fit. Mine was not bad enough to warrant the trip back to currys. You could always take your vega with you and try before you buy.
I like this one. it's over my actual budget , but I'll get one sooner or later.

sadly they don't have any stock at my local currys or pcworld. They also have no vega's in stock but they do have one on display
Oh and I didn't mean what keeps the tablet inside the case, I meant what keeps the case upright in landscape mode ?
Did anyone notice the official Folio case got pulled from pc world? Do you think the TF101 cases would work? The dimensions are very similar, the vega is about .6mm deeper, 4mm wider and 4mm taller.
I bought this case for my Vega
ebay.co.uk/itm/250877574917?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Its cheap and it works, the inner that holds the Vega can be rotated round so it can be either horizontal or vertical, it has 3 slits at the bottom so you can fold it into a stand and choose what angle you want it held.
It also comes with (another) microsd to sd card, a stylus, a cleaning cloth and a single screen protector.
I have been impressed with it so far and for £13 its a steal.
I think im gonna get a custom case made. I'll probly use felt, real leather costs loads!

I have been looking at this and similar cases on ebay but want to know a few things first.
1. Is the case specifically for the vega or is it generic eg, are ports accessible and is the fit right, or is it a bit off?
2. Is the tablet secure, will it fall out?
3. How much bulk does the case add?
Thanks, my vega should be coming in a few days, does it come with a case or sleeve already, I don't want to pre order something unnecessary.
Cheers everyone!

Nope, no case or sleeve Inc.
I bought one from ebay. It's item number 320710547405 and the 'title' is "Foldable leather Case Fits 10.1" Advent Vega Tablet -UK." It came with a free screen protector but I haven't really used it since the case protects it so well.
I was really impressed with the case because it's quite sturdy and the foldable bit at the back (see photos on the item description) is really handy. Also, all the cables, etc. fit in very nicely. Overall, it was a real bargain, especially considering the ones at PC World were majorly overpriced.
Good luck and enjoy your Vega!
Ooops....forgot to say that it does add a bit of bulk to the tablet but to be honest, the tablet had a few close calls before I got the case that I was grateful for the extra 'bulk.' It's not a major amount of bulk though!

When did you buy your case bud? I got mine in around February when I got my vega and mine has definately got a hard front cover (It lives permanently in its folio case in my rucksack and when I take it out from time to time its still like brand new)

From where?
I bought XtremeGuard protectors when they were 70% off (I got 2 of them @ $1.50/each). They are pretty good, and the same material as ArmorGuard and InvisiShield. If you are looking for low price, I would recommend them, but they do not cover underneath the center button (they have U-shaped cutouts, rather than holes). Good enough until I can get the InvisiShield on sale. I do like the feel and protection provided by the wet-apply protectors.
I also got "Black Candy Skin TPU Gel Case Cover For LG Optimus L9 P769 (T-Mobile)" from Amazon (was $1.29 + 2.94 S/H). The case is slim, and slips off easy enough, as well as slick enough to not get stuck in my pocket or pick up dirt. They do cover the buttons with indents in the thermo-poly-urethane. The volume buttons work pretty well, but the power button is a little harder to use. It works for now until they develop nicer cases for the phone.

From eBay. I can't post link because i'm noob here and forum doesn't allow me.
EDIT:
by the way, if you look for L9's screen protector / L9's case at eBay or AliBaba, you'll find it.
I got the Case today, I got this on ebay for $9.50 with free shipping and its called P769 3 in 1 Travelers hard case holster. there are 2 color available white and black with a rubberize finish on it, i got the white one for now.
I really like this case, at first i was thinking of not using the Holster because I just want a 1 piece hard back cover for the P769. but this case and holster works really well together so im going to use both. the holster can be also a landscape/portrait stand for the phone. the case slide to the holster smoothly both in and out and feel secured when they are attached together.
Pro:
Fits very well
Ports are well cut
Feels great to hold
Good build Quality
Good price
3in1
Cons
rubber Finish might chip soon
No other color
Holster clip is not that strong
Nice!
Do you have a picture of the clip?
Does the phone slide out or snap out?
p.s. This thread needs to be moved under accessories sub-forum.
Looks cool, what is that launcher you are using? or is it rooted
I got the EZguard Screen protector for $4 (4pcs) on ebay and its 100% GARBAGE!!!
The screen protector is already scratch up out of the envelope, installing instruction is somewhat not clear... I read somewhere that it supposed to be wet install but still its pure garbage i tried it. i still got 2 out of 4 screen protector.. well its $4 cant complain anymore.
Im going to get the Skinomi or IQ LIQuidskin on amazon later. they got good reviews so i think that should work.

NO... maybe if you want the clip off it will be for good. yet there will be a teeth gear like circle on the holster. (that gear is for stopping the holster to change your preferred orientation)

Also,the only screen protectors I see on Amazon are the EZtrash screen protectors. I have heard these are awful. Are there others that work better, or is it just a matter of waiting?

I have this case. It does work well. The "kick stand" will prop the phone up in both landscape and portrait orientations.
The case does add a little bulk. It has a silicon/rubber soft layer that goes around the phone and a hard shell that wraps around that. Should provide good protection.

NO... maybe if you want the clip off it will be for good. yet there will be a teeth gear like circle on the holster. (that gear is for stopping the holster to change your preferred orientation)

Since this case was close to what I wanted: A "clam shell" case for the phone to put in my pocket, I went ahead and bought it in black.
The clip came off very easily. Too, easily. I'd be afraid to let my phone dangle from my belt with that clip.
Anyway, as you pointed out, there was a "gear like circle" protruding from the case after the clip was taken off. I carefully removed it and made it flush with rest of the plastic with a dremel tool. I doesn't look too bad.
Bought this universal case with elastic edges for $14.99 from Target. Magnetic front clasp. Phone fits snugly, very comfortable to hold or wear in pocket-feels secure (feels cumbersome on belt). Added screen saver for L9 from T-Mobile for additional $16 (believe). Screen protector was well worth it to cut fingerprint grease.
bought 2 of these phones for my parents and was looking around for good quality cases. Just thought I'd share my findings :
1) For my mom : Tech21 White snap case for LG optimus L9 P769 (refer to T-Mobile Website, shows middle camera hole) :
http://www.ebay.com/itm/151027412771?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
2) For my dad : Body Glove case with stand (reviews in amazon are excellent)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/150992696200?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
The two companies also have several other cases available for P769 (middle camera hole version), just lookup Tech21 or Body Glove Optimus L9 case..hope that helps for members looking to find quality case for this *mid-range-and-obscure* phone. Phone's arriving tomorrow! Cant wait.
Cheers!
I'm sorry I didn't see this thread before (It didn't even show in search) so I made another... Mods, feel free to close my thread.
Anyway... Here's mine
IllumiShield 3 pack screen protectors - $7.65
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380614141569
My review: EXTREMELY well cut. Edge to edge protection done proper. Very easy to install. And they are actually antibubble.
Highly recommended. Ordered on a Monday, got them today (Thursday) - Ships from California
Future Armor Ballistic Case - $12.95
http://www.ebay.com/itm/281090273071?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
My review: VERY nice. Feels nice in the hands. Only adds about 1/8th inch all the way around. The seller is also very easy to work with. I had an issue with the case (rubber coating wasn't correct in one spot) and she immediately shipped a replacement.
Again, Highly recommended. Ordered on a Friday, got it on the following Monday - Ships from New York

I got the EZguard Screen protector for $4 (4pcs) on ebay and its 100% GARBAGE!!!
The screen protector is already scratch up out of the envelope, installing instruction is somewhat not clear... I read somewhere that it supposed to be wet install but still its pure garbage i tried it. i still got 2 out of 4 screen protector.. well its $4 cant complain anymore.
Im going to get the Skinomi or IQ LIQuidskin on amazon later. they got good reviews so i think that should work.

I too ordered these first... And also had the exact same issues you do/did. Needless to say, I sent them this email (coped word for word) and was refunded. Then I order what's in my previous post above this one, and they are wonderful! Here's the email"
After receiving 6 of these screen protectors, I must say, they suck. I was expecting to keep a few as backups later on, but no... This item is so ****ily made that I used 5 of them to even get it close. I threw the 6th in the trash, because that's about the only thing it is good for. I have never had issues installing a screen protector. Its normally pretty straight forward and easy. Not this product. The moment the backing is pulled off, the static cling attracts every dust particle in the known universe before you can even line the damn thing up. Even after lining it up...FIVE TIMES, the things still weren't cut correctly. But, I guess you get what you pay for, so my bad.

Image 2......Wireless charging???
Got an N6 on the way, looking for a flip case that can easily be removed. I'd like to be able to clip the phone into the case when I'm out and about, but remove it when I'm at home or at the office. Anyone have a case like this? I've done some looking but it seems like most of them are TPU cases attached to the flip cover. For my other phone I found one that clipped around the edges in only a couple of spots. I'm hoping to find something similar or at least one that can stand up to the abuse of many in/out cycles.
Might give this one a shot. It's a bit bigger than some other cases but it feels pretty nice. I will warn you though, while not a huge issue, the edges on the flip cover started to look a little frayed after a few weeks. Probably just wear and tear though.

Do you experience any of the button issues that the amazon reviewers had?

Not particularly, no. I will say they are not the best though. Theres a little bit of play to them. If you can get it cheaper than the 30-some odd dollars they charge, I'd go for it. Personally I usually carry my nexus 6 w/o a case just due to how nice it feels, although if you find a thinner, rubberized flip case let me know.
All in all, I'd give the casemate a shot. Does the job just fine.
I know you might have your reasons for wanting a flip case, but because I wanted to do the same as you (protection when out and about but naked when at home) I went with a really nice larger pouch case instead.

Thanks for the help guys. I considered the case-mate, especially since it was originally sold on Google play so it's close to "official"/oem but the multitude of bad reviews scared me off. I like the pouch idea too but I like to have some protection when I'm using the phone on the go since that's the most likely time I'd drop it. I only remove the case when I'm home or at the office since I'll be at the table/couch/desk there's less risk of dropping it and I prefer using the phone naked as much as possible.
I ended up finding one of these in eBay for 25 and it seems to work well, although it isn't as easy to remove as the flip case for my last phone. I haven't used the card slots yet as I'm a little concerned they could scratch the screen and I don't want to use a screen protector.

I've been using this inexpensive but very form-fitting case since I bought the n6. Easy to slip it out of the case, and I've used nillkin book-type cases for multiple phones. They usually last the life the phone (for me, that's about 2 years)

This is the one I use, and definitely have enjoyed it. I haven't had any problem with cards scratching the screen yet.
If you're still looking for a wallet themed case, you can try out this one by VENA, I have had it for 2 months and it's been great.

I like my phones naked or as close as it comes (ultra thin transparent tpu case), but I also like to have something to put it in when out and about. My Nexus 5 was kept in a Mofi Kangaroo pouch case which was great. Unfortunately, they seemed to have stopped making them and only ever made them just about big enough for the N5. There are similar alternatives but none seem as good as the Mofi.
So, finding a removable pouch type case big enough for this beast is a challenge! I ordered a hand made fabric one from etsy which is well made, but at the size of the device, looks more like a small sleeping bag than the home of a sleek Nexus device .
So I took a bit of a gamble and ordered something not designed for the Nexus 6. Its primary advertising is for the Iphone 6+, but also states is suitable for Note 4. Looking at both devices dimensions, I concluded it was almost big enough. The Nexus being little longer, thicker and wider than both devices, but not much.
It seems to have paid off. Its a very nice luxurious pouch wallet case in genuine brown leather from what I gather is a brand owned by tuffluv. You can't tell from the site, but the phone pouch part on the side, top and bottom is elasticated so happily accommodates the Nexus's superior girth!
I can even squeeze it in with tpu case - just, but its a bit tough to pull out. Might have to seek an ultra thin tpu case - any recommendations? Without the TPU, its next to perfect! Fully loaded with cards in the card slots makes it slightly tighter to close fully, but still very acceptable in my book.
Currently its in the sale on Tuffluv site where its claimed to be a £50 case (and going by the other similar cases going for in excess of £50, I believe them!). With the sale price and discount it came to £17.99 delivered.
Just thought I'd share in case anyone else was looking for something similar but hadn't found anything labelled as suitable for the Nexus 6.
Can't paste a link but go to tuff-luv dot coms site and search for "Alston Craig Vintage Genuine Leather Wallet Case Cover Pouch for Apple iPhone 6 Plus / 6s Plus / Samsung Galaxy Note 4 - Brown"
Alston Craig have their own site, but there is a discount code for a couple of quid off on tuff-luv
Hope this helps someone.
Oh, ps, there is a small slip of paper in the packaging that states you should have a screen protector fitted to protect the screen before use. Its material lined; not the soft microfibre type, but not something I would be concerned about.
pps. Only issue I've found is the elastic straps are centred, so covers headphone and usb port. Shame, not a deal breaker for me.
