I was wondering if something like this existed that would work with the Flyer for under $40.

I would not recommend doing this, what if you mistake your Flyer for a book and toss it into your closet??
LOL
lol, good point. Not me, so much, but maybe anyone who walks into my room.
But on another note, if you're walking through a subway station late at night, this does serve as a good disguise for the tablet.
"Yeah, I'll take your wallet, your watch, your belt, but you can keep that crummy book."

LOL when your house gets robbed (not that it will) they'll steal the wallet, money, computers, but not a book!
Back to the point, I don't know any book like cases. Look for one for the Nook Color in a store and ask the sales man if you can try your flyer in it.
I saw the one for the nook, but Im not too fond of them. I really like the one for the Apple products. I think I can spend thanksgiving weekend or winter break working on one.
Will probably go to a craft shop or sign up on a crafts/arts related forum and just speak to some people there once I get the time.
But for now, back to anatomy and biochemistry.
have you found one yet?
im actually looking for something like that too, something like
twelvesouth's "bookbook" (i cant post links yet).
but for an HTC flyer.. if anyone knows of anything like this, please let me know. (its for my wife).

That case for the Ipad is awesome! I'd buy one from my Flyer if it were available (considering I use my Flyer mostly for reading, it's even appropriate!)
Looks freaking awesome! I wish they made one for the size the 7in tabs, maybe when Apple releases a 7in tab they'll make one, but for the price, even if it is handcrafted is not worth in, in my opinion of course.

Moleskine used to make these cases for the Amazon Kindle 6" and it might fit the HTC Flyer/Evo View 4G which is 7". btw there are two/three versions of this case - the other is for the Kindle DX which is large and the iPad version - so make you are looking at the right one. Alternatively, you could just get a molskine notebook and make your own?
It's on eBay for $40. There is picture of of a Nook Tablet in one so it might work for the evo view- that is if you don't mind back camera being blocked.

Imma try that on my days off this week and I'll post pics when I'm done. Im kind of thinking of putting like some fabric lining between the book and my tablet and also probably cutting out like a thumb hole next to the tab so it will be easier to take out.
Edit: Actually I'm designing my own paper cover for the "book"

I'm really interested in this possibility: thanks for discovering it.
What I'm unsure about is whether our Views will work well in it. I've compared dimensions of the Nooks and Kindle that the merchant on eBay says will fit and the View. It's questionable is what that seems to tell me.
I see that the item listing notes: "Because it is narrower, Kindle 3 does not fit snugly within the elastic straps, but it will fit inside the cover. If you use this cover with a Kindle 3, the device will be loose and may fall out of the cover." I fear that our View's dimensions are closer to the Kindle 3 than the others, so I think it may be a no go.
The eBay merchant couldn't tell me what to expect, so I'd have to buy it, try it, and return it if it isn't a good fit.
Any thoughts? Especially: anyone who can tell me from experience how it worked out fro them with their View?

Honestly, I think that if people are looking for a low-key, professional looking case, then I would recommend the faux-leather Bluerex case (and its carbon copies). From about 2-3 feet away, it looks pretty close to a moleskin notebook or leather agenda. Moreover, it's thin, does a good job of covering the Flyer, and is clean-cut, with all the right holes for camera and speakers.
I'm all for a solution which makes you inconspicuous, but a 'book case' would end up being bulkier, not as sleek, and wouldn't have the right holes for speakers, cameras, etc.

As my attempt to organize a group buy was closed I might try the tegratab forum to start one there.
The case is still in the mail but I hope to have it soon.
I will post pictures of the original dock later today because I have to run out for a bit. The dock I hope will be in the mail soon but as I mentioned before.. it's expensive.
Here are the pictures of the official malata dock.
Sorry, forgot to post them yesterday.
I like the looks of the dock. What types of connections does it have on he back?
it's the same connections as the copy version on taobao.
1 x ethernet (10/100)
1 x HDMI 1.2
1 x USB
1 x Power
I hope to have more info on this soon.
looks nice....i am about to buy the tab from Sears, would love to know the price of the dock, is this the official dock ? how much did it cost and from where?
It's the official malata zpad dock but I don't have it yet. Unfortunately the pricing is like $65 so I don't know if I will order it because that's a but on the high side for me too.
The sample case will be arriving Thursday (Dec 2nd) if customs doesn't slow it down any more.
I'm sorry..
Sorry my friend, maybe my mistakes Caused your post has been closed.
You will be get the sample tomorrow?please give me a
information.
The case was just delivered but UPS!
All the work has paid off!! It's a perfect fit for the g-tablet.
Will get some pictures online tonight and start a group buy at a different place.
Here are the pictures with the g-tablet in the case.
Case is made out of real leather (smells better then chemicals) and the inside is a soft suede to protect the tablet.
The viewing angle works perfect for me and when I am looking at the screen I don't have any problems with the bad viewing angles of the g-tablet which is a big plus.
It's very sturdy and even sitting it on books or an uneven surface won't make it tip over.

Is there a version of this without that click flap/strap thing? I'm looking for something really simple like the apple made one for the ipad which is similar in design but doesn't have that clumsy clasp thing. Thanks.
If you want one without the strap then I think that would be possible yes.
It's a fairly custom product.
I'd also prefer without the clasp. Since you have one, can you see whether it is easily removed or unstitched?

It's the sample..maybe have the one without click flap/strap.instead of Built-in magnets.and,the part of the standing can also be changed into scaffolding. cut into the bottom bracket from the case.
I would love to get one which is custom made for the tablet? How much is it to get it delivered in Florida/USA?
It's not allowed to sell here but send me a PM and I can give you more info.
Case looks great Agreed. Smaller clasp with magnet instead of snaps would be ideal.
How long would it take to get a batch made in such a way?
I'll arrange for one without the clasp/strap.
I would like one without the clasp/strap also
I'm curious to see what it looks like without that clasp/strap. I'm very intrigued by this case, it looks really good.
I'll try to get more info on the options and if without is actually possible.
To give my 2 cents. I wasn't crazy about the clasp either from the first pictures and that it sticks out when sitting down. Now that I actually have the case I wouldn't want it without it. It feels solid when closed and looks very nice. Everyone their own choice
I'll see what info I can get.
I'm trying to get a place together to organize the group buy so hang in there.
For more info just PM me and I will try to get back to you as soon as possible.
Thanks!
I ordered my G Tab from Woot as many others did. I really like the thin iPad 1 case and have been searching for one for the GTab but haven't been able to find one. I'm not really looking for a big leather case. I'm looking for something similar to this forum post on the Galaxy site: ht tp:// forum.xda-developers.com/ showthread.php?t=893697 (sorry I can't post links)
The Galaxy case that is sold at hand held items (link to hand held in the above spaced out link) looks very similar to the iPad one too but is better because it's not an "i" product.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Steve's cases look much better than the Case Crown cases. I got one of the CC cases and it stopped "fitting" after a few weeks. Opening and folding the front back behind the tablet caused the bands to stop gripping the tablet and I just stopped using it overall.
I'd highly recommend looking at Steve's store: http://electroniccrap.com/store/ind...cription=1&keyword=viewsonic+g+tablet&x=0&y=0
I'd have gotten one of his, but he was out of stock so I ordered one of the cases with the keyboard built in (came out to be $35). I have to go pick it up at the post office, as it was delivered via registered mail and has to be signed for.
It's a great case but still not as good as a custom case

I was one of the early adopters of the CaseCrown case for the Kindle DX for my gTab. It looks pretty classy even though it's not real leather. Good quality construction. Some people were reporting that the elastic tabs at the top were getting lose with time but I've used mine for over three months and didn't notice that on mine. I have to say thought I didn't leave my gTab in the CaseCrown case when I was using it but only really had it in the case for transporting it from home to the office or some other away from home locale. The one thing I will report that is a slight negative about the CaseCrown is that after three months of use I did notice the side of the case that is up against the back of the gTab was getting slightly bent and the felt lining was beginning to bubble up a bit. Even with that slight issue this case I would highly recommend it. If you can part with the cash I would strongly direct you into the direction of one of the custom cases as those are more tailored for out gTabs.
I hope you enjoy your gTab as much as I do mine. I've basically replaced the need to lug around my really heavy beast of a work laptop and now do my off site work from my gTab accessing my laptop remotely via LogMeIn Ignition.
Since I've purchased my CLIP from it2steve I have put away my CaseCrown case. I have no use for it now so if you're interested I'll be happy to unload it on you for next to nothing. Send me a PM if you're interested.

I hope for your sake you didn't get the one that I had before I unloaded it on eBay. It does work but that's where the positive ended for me with that case. The case really looked CHEAP and I was embarrased to take it out in front of other people at work or at a client's site. Also, the keys are hard plastic (not silicone) so I was afraid it would rub against the gTab's screen and do damage since the case also didn't hold the gTab snug but rather let it slide around in there.
This case may be good for students but really is not suitable for a professional environment. It will definitely give the Apple fans something else to snicker at if you work around them.

Just picked it up from the Post Office today, works great but they sent me one with the wrong clip locations, even though I specified Viewsonic Get Tablet as they instructed.
I am going to fix it on my own as others have done because it took 3 weeks to get it.
Overall I'm very happy with it for the price of $35 total.
Has anyone found any decent cases or sleeves for this tablet yet?
It's dimensions are listed as 271x176x12.9mm, which makes it longer than the iPad, as well as longer and wider than the Xoom, so I imagine most cases for those devices will be too small (or it'll protrude through the opening.)
At the same time, lots of netbook cases are around, but they seem to extend by 1 or 2cm too far in each dimension. Closest appears to be the Belkin 10.2" cases on Amazon.
There's a comparison of sizes here:

Looks like it might work - size wise it seems the transformer will fit.
For the moment I am going to keep my transformer in the case I used for my Asus EEE PC Netbook, just hope it fits!!!
I also contacted tuff luv as I adore their cases and have one for my Kindle and love the fact I can prop it up and read it. They say there going to look into it and to contact them again in a couple of weeks, I really hope they do a case.
I got on of these as a temporary measure. .

I still haven't found a case :'( I'm using a net book neoprene case which is too big, do we need to consider the keyboard as well... might make it harder to get the case.

I got my kindle sleeve from here..http://wrappers.typepad.com/
Very pleased with it...
If you email them with details they will advise which of their huge range will fit the Xformer. They are custom made.
I bought a cheap neoprene sleeve on ebay (item no 170625464579) for £3.30 delivered (although he has now hiked up his price to £4.95). It fits pretty much perfectly - although I did manage to accidentally wake the tablet up from standby putting it in the sleeve on one occasion.

Been there, done that. Unfortunately - as you'll soon notice - when it's done up the zip sits right on top of the power button, making it incredibly easy to turn on accidentally. I'm taking mine back tonight.
My sample "Wrapper", as linked above, arrived this morning and it's very nice indeed! Perhaps a little small width ways but I've sent my feedback and I think they're going to re-work it a little. Once they've got the final design down-tap I'd recommend them without hesitation.

I guess i can see what you mean about the zip, but im traveling around with work next week and wanted something quick to stop it getting battered in my laptop bag with everything else that is in there.
It will do for the moment until either an official case comes out or a good alternative is found, I will hold onto the receipt and packaging that came with it, if it turns on the power constantly when im away next week i will take it back.

Love it! I don't have the keyboard yet but I tried my husbands netbook and it seems like it should fit.
Thought I would share that I love it.
These cases that claim to be shock proof or make things unbreakable always make me laugh. They may stop visible damage but the internals will still be subject to a few G's when dropped, and connections might be loosened. Some protection is always welcome of course for that 'just in case' scenario, so a case is always recommended for transporting it.
But sods law states that it will be dropped when it's not in a case and it will shatter into a hundred pieces anyway. At least I bet, now that I've written this, it'll happen to me.
Having said that however the case you mention looks quite nice.

Did you find it in-store at Staples or did you order online? I'd like to take a look at my local Staples if so.....Cheap enough that I might give it a try...
I bought an "Incase" 10.5" case at Target that I really like...good cushioning, but probably not "shock proof"....
Yes I found it in the Staples Store at mine it was on an end cap. Very thick why thicker than a few that my husband has tried. I am not going to be dropping it down the stairs hopefully but for little drops I am sure it will help.
How come you bought the 13" one? doesn't the 10" one fit the TF?

You know I think I am wrong. The sign had said they only had 13inch and 15inch but now I looked and it says IPAD case so I was going to measure and I can't find a darn ruler or anything but I guess it would either have to be the Ipad case or the 10 inch because it just fits...snuggly but my husbands 10inch Asus Netbook fits int there also. So when he gets home and I can measure I will. I think though I might go get the 13inch this way I can fit the cord on the side also.
This case would be great:

Let us know how it fits. I saw those cases and I thought they were kinda clever, however since they don't appear to stretch I was worried that the TF Prime wouldn't fit in the iPad version since the Prime is a little longer than the iPad.
I wish they made a 10" version for netbooks, because something like that would be perfect for the Prime and its keyboard dock.
I was actually planning to get the 13" laptop model because I have the dock.

I saw that too, but it would be too large to hold the prime snugly and I didn't want a case that was floppy. The TF Prime is only 10.25" long and 7" wide.
I wish that the there was a version for 10" netbooks, or that the Kickstarter page gave size specs for the iPad-sized case. I like the yellow envelope design and I might back if there was a decent chance it would fit my tablet but $35 is too much to risk on something like this, considering there are more reasonably priced alternatives.
Here I did a little of the legwork for you, I messaged the creator of that Kickstarter project. This was here reply:
Hi Jon,
Thanks so much for checking out my project!
My iPad sleeve measures just slightly larger than the iPad itself.
iPad= 9.5" x 7.3" x 0.34"
Sleeve= 9.75" x 7.6 x 0.5".
I'm not exactly sure of the measurements for the Transformer Prime Android... is it: 10.3" x 7.1" x 0.32"? So close, but just a little longer than the iPad, so it wouldn't fit in the sleeve.
If my project happens to be over funded, I MIGHT be able to add a sleeve for the 11" MacBook Air. It would be a little bigger than your tablet, but it would fit. I can let you know if that's going to happen.
Which of the styles do you prefer-- the interoffice envelope or the composition notebook?
Thanks again for contacting me!
Diana

I suggest that if you also want an 11 inch case that would be a reasonable fit for your TF Prime, you also send her a message through Kickstarter and express your interest. I asked for an interoffice envelope style case.
not trying to hijack, but i have this and it works great with the Prime and dock

That case is pretty cool! I like that is is made of Tyvek, so more realistically simulates a paper envelope. If the 11" Kickstarter case doesn't get made I may buy one from Thinkgeek.
For me it isn't just about getting a cool case, it is about helping someone launch their product. This is why I love kickstarter, and why I have helped dozens of projects on there so far.
