Some of you may have seen it already but the "The Verge" review says it will be sold at Walmart.
Also has some extra photos of the device and I am sad to see that the way the back cover attaches to the tablet looks so bad

Hmm... I'm trying to figure out how the cover works. Looks like that textured plastic piece around the camera either comes out and the cover replaces it or it attaches ontop of it somehow. Looks clunky.
This whole thing reeks of lawyer design.
But red cover in the video seems good for me.

For me too.
Looks like it just snaps in a groove near the edge.I think it would have to come off and can't be folded around to the back like a case cover.With the rounded back folding it around would not work well anyway.Works for me however since I only need it when putting the tablet away.I bet it comes with the tablet and does not have to be bought separately so that will be good too. jmo
I hope it's for sale on Amazon. I have a huge credit there from returning my TF700.

lol I highly doubt it will come with the tablet. I guess it's worth 20 bucks. But I wonder why they leave the camera area unprotected. THat's the most important area

They leave the camera unprotected because when your using the tablet you will have the cover folded back... The most common time for you to use the camera is when you are using the tablet... Therefore they must leave it uncovered to take pictures while using the tablet
It is a screen protector not a protective case

haha I thought it can't be folded back. just slide off and on. But yeah it makes sense that it should be able to fold back. But still, why didn't it protect the whole screen?
I might wait for Walmart to avoid shipping cost and easy exchange.
still waiting at here
So you mean that Nexus 10 will be available at Walmart at November 13th ?? I need this answer very much. Thank you guys !

The big question is if the case will act as a stand for viewing. I like that it's minimalism but realistically the only thing I care about in a case is if it props it up for viewing.

Looking at the gap in the middle, it would allow you to take pictures when it is folded back. I don't see why it wouldn't fold that way.
The reason they have the weird attachment is to avoid Apples patent on its smart cover. Genius IMO

Someone posted in the huge @ss thread that they thought the Kindle DX was about the same size as the GTablet.
I went ahead and ordered this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Kindle-DX-Leath...&otn=4&po=LVI&ps=63&clkid=5004332251969071237
I'm happy with it so far, the DX is about half and inch wider, height is okay, so it can slide around a bit. I put some stick on velcro on the case and on the GTab, it isn't going anywhere now. I think I'm going to have to use superglue for the velcro on the case though, it's felt lined so it won't stick on for long. The only thing is the top elastic band is close to the power button, maybe Roebeet's electrical tape solution is in order.
UPDATE: Oh, well my fake pleather case has ding in the edge now. Maybe I need to get some of that liquid leather. ;P Happy with the sizing, just need to find something more durable. Maybe I'll use some of that new fangled electrical tape I hear is the new duct tape.
Electrical tape is the new duct tape:

I need to do something like that, was thinking of a little piece of sticky backed foam, like 1/4 ince or so, think I have some perfect for that around here somewhere.
Hitting that power button is way to easy to do, need to mod the physical keys on the side somehow also, lol.

The band was tighter when I first got it (infact it was so tight that it keep randomly turn on my tablet). After a few days it loosen up so the problem resolve itself. I carry it around ,always rushing to class and it feel pretty secure imo.

Yep. Almost all cases for iPad do not work, since the G is wider.

Just a warning to all Prime owners. Unless you plan on only putting the Prime on soft surfaces, get a protector/case or be prepared for scratches.
I too learned about this the hard way.
~Sigh, major scratch on the back ~
I would recommend one of skinomi's skins to cover the back, whether transparent or with a finish as a solution to those whom do not wish to use cases/sleeves.
I personally bought the brushed steel finished one; it looks and feels amazing.
It adds a bit of grip which makes it easier to hold the device.
Yeah. This is why I usually set it face down. The screen is ironically much tougher than the back.

Does it come with a plastic cover on it out of the box? The temporary sort I mean. That would be nice to be able to leave on their until I find a case that I like.
Right now i walk it around with a micro fiber cloth large enough for it to sit and cover up. At least till my case arrives...lol

It just comes wrapped in plastic and is sitting in it's spot in the box. It's really loose type plastic though and would not be practical to leave on there.

I did actually leave it in the plastic that it came wrapped in until I could have my friend's tf101 sleeve. It doesn't match up to the ports of course but it offers protection against scratches.

My Prime is a little bit loose in the dock, so I don't think this will be a problem.
If it is a problem, you can always remove that little piece of soft material in the docking hinge which should protect the metal back. You have some more room then.

If you own an iPhone, ipad, or tablet... you understand fully well the importance keeping it well protected. While it is designed in a sturdy manner to give users a high level of reliability, it can also get damaged due to various reasons such as scratches, dust and other outside elements. It's good we have so many options...
I definitely prefer a full cover. I'd get really mad if I saw my tablet scratched for putting it in my backpack with the rest of my stuff. Protecting the back and edges is important, but even far more important protecting the screen, in my opinion.
Greetings.

Yes, that is true...cases simply help you to protect your expensive little gadget and will stay scratch free when you enclose it in a case. Several manufacturers make exclusive tablet PC cases that allow you to carry your tablet in style and more interesting and exciting covers and cases that let you personalize your little gadget...

I just received yesterday the Incipio Case from Amazon. The color is black and it is not a gel case, it is more hard plastic but it is extremely thin, it does not add almost any weight. It is not glossy it is mate. Fingerprints get on it but does not look that bad. This is more for protection from scratches.
To protect the tablet with this case on it, when I put into my backpack, I bought a simple Sleeve with a zipper on the side.
I also wanted a TPU or gel case but couldn't find it. This is an acceptable substitution.
Look in Amazon for: Incipio Feather Case for the Sony Xperia Z Tablet - Obsidian Black (SE-201)
I hope this helps somebody.

I ordered mine last Monday and chose the basic shipping and even though it said it wouldnt be here until late next week, it actually went out for delivery today!
Mine showed up today, woudl've got on earlier, but I've been playing the BF4 Beta all day Lol
I had to try different dhl sites for the tracking number to work, I think I searched "dhl global" into google.
I bought this before I was sure that I would buy an N3, and if I did I had something cheap to use right away. I also wanted to see how big it felt in my hands, case and all. (pocket too)
First thoughts:
Looks like it's well designed (or at least the mold for making it was).
It feels fairly thin to medium in the sense that it's not too thick, but not so thin it's too thin to provide protection.
I thought it was 2 seperate pieces, it's one piece, the back being hard and the sides being soft.
I would say that the back is about the thickness of 2 credit cards and the side is about 1 card thick.
Sorry I havent bought the phone yet, or else I would provide pics of it in the case.
I'm glad I bought this and well worth the under $10 shipped price tag.
Color affects the price btw, I think the clear ones were more expensive.
I may cut slots near the finger grips to provide more traction. I have a large case for my s2 that had a kickstand that broke out and left a rectangular hole in the center, it allows me to grab it with my finger tips and stretch my thumb all the way across the screen, without tilting my phone to let gravity keep it in my hand, which would cause the screen to rotate.
Plus the holes will help keep the battery cooler, a bit more important in the desert.
I just got it today, and got to say is pretty nice for the price, don't know why the pics show the name on the case but mine don't have it. Which I thought it would when I ordered it. No biggie.

At an average of under $10 on Amazon, this case is a quarter of the cost of the official case. It adds the protection of a hard cradle that the tablet sits in, which the official case doesn't offer.
Based on the popularity of the case on Amazon, I'd suggest NVidia may lose some sales of the official case to ProCase.
One thing to consider is that this case might interfere with passive cooling as suggested in https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/767648/shield-tablet/3rd-party-case-/
For that price, I'll drill vent holes in it if necessary. ?
In going to take the risk and have ordered one.
Looks nice, I have a similar case for my Nexus 7 but I don't want the back all covered up. I'm still holding out for a cover that snaps into the bottom of the tablet (like the official cover).
I kinda wish there was a really snug bumper for it with a lip that would cover the harsh bezel edges with rubbery comfort.

Yeah, they really are rather sharp. Not quite sure why they decided to go that way with the design.
I ordered one of these and it just shipped today. I probably won't get it until late next week (US holiday on Monday) but I can take pics and give some basic impressions when I get it if any is interested.

Mine shipped today as well. Won't get mine for a few weeks until it ships to Australia.

Right, it's winging its way over to me with the shield controller. Should have them in about 3 or 5 days.
Mine arrived yesterday; I got the green one. I very much like the protection provided by the snap-on case and the magnetic cover "latches" nicely in the closed position. Opening the cover does wake the tablet which is also nice.
The cover folds back but does not seem to magnetically "latch" to itself or the rear of the case in either the "keyboard" mode, the "movie" mode, or folded flat against the back of the case. The "keyboard" mode works easily enough as the weight of the tablet holds it in position but the "movie" mode doesn't work well for me but perhaps the cover joints will loosen up a bit and work better over time.
I find the protection aspect (and price) of this cover to be far superior to the nVidia case but the nVidia case works far, far, better as a stand than this one does, at least mine.
<edit> Please see additional comments and retraction in the next post. </edit>
I retract my previous statement regarding the cover not magnetically latching to itself in the "movie" stand mode. There is a magnetic clasp there but you have to fold the cover into the proper geometrical arrangement which I clearly had not been doing. When done properly, the cover does indeed snap to itself quite nicely and the tablet stands up properly for viewing a movie.
This is an excellent case and priced, in my opinion, lower than it is worth. :good:
Well I ordered the red one off of amazon, should be getting it tomorrow along with my 64GB Samsung SD card. Hopefully will have my shield next week, have to wait for Best Buy to ship it.
Update: I received my case, and I have to say I was actually impressed with the quality of the case. Much better than I was expecting. My Shield shipped already so I should have it soon.
Just got mine. Nice case.

@aznmode, yeah just got mine. Same colour as yours. It's performing great for me. I just wish the magnetic clasp was able to grab onto something more secure when it is in "stand mode". I find the magnet sometimes pops loose for me. It's trivial to reaffix it again, so for the price I'm certainly willing to turn a blind eye to this behavior.
With the Procase, do any of you guys notice the shield getting hotter than usual?

I played HL2 last night and it got as hot as it did when I didnt have a case. There aren't really any vents on the tablet that it covers, so I don't see how it could affect it. If anything it should act as a heat sync and help with the heat.

Ok Thanks for the quick reply. I'm debating if I should order this case as well as the controller or order the official cover

I played Sky Force 2014 (not Tegra enhanced, but pretty graphically rich for a shmup) and immediately after ending my 2 hour session of almost non-stop gaming, I opened System Monitor (app) and my temp was 40 deg Celsius. My Nexus 7 was climbing up to about 60 deg Celsius on the same game.
How is it when you have the covert folded back but flat against the back of the shield? does it lay completely flat? Can someone post a picture if they have it please.

It lays practically flat, with just the smallest amount of rake down from the cover fabric hinge to the metal clasp.
Hope it helps.
Thanks @jaredmorgs!!! I was waiting for someone to show a pic before I order it.
