With all the looking for cases and such, a lot of talk about this case for 'X' will fit or not fit. Does anyone know of an more popular brand that has the same dimensions as G-tab? It might make finding access. easier. I know the Kindle DX is close.

It is known that cases/covers for the DX will fit the G-Tablet, just don't get the ones that have the strip up one side that obscures some control.
The Malata Z-tablet is the (near) identical twin, but accessories for them are just as hard to find. There are also a handful of Chinese "custom" cases that are being sold (but stay in fairly short supply) just search this forum and you will find them.
I've seen a few Kindle DX posts that like it, but there seems some contention on how well it fits. I don't think I found one that fits that also has the stand. Yeah, the Malata case are a rare bird, and seem a bit more expensive. i will check for the custom ones...Thanks..
I think most 10 inch netbook cases should work. I bought the "HP - Mini Netbook Sleeve" from Best Buy, and it fits OK, not quite glove tight but good enough.
Try a new Targus iPad case?
I tried 10" netbook sleeves and they all seemed too roomy (not snug). I ended up getting a newly released (in Taiwan) Targus iPad soft case. A little snug but fits.

Anyone got any leads on a keyboard folio / case for the tablet? I think it would be the icing on the cake for me. I'm looking to get the LTE version and replace my qwerty phone which I use 95% of the time as a pocket computer rather than phone anyways.
eBay and Amazon don't have anything yet from what I can see.

The only worthwhile thing you're likely to find for quite some time is this. And it's quite pricey as well. Sadly.

I'm honestly not concerned with the price of that item. I understand I'm in a niche realm, and am willing to pay for the features I want. Thank you for the recommendation, I've got it bookmarked for whenever the LTE version hits the stores.
If you do not mind a stand alone keyboard, you could always get something like this

Thank you for the suggestion, but I was thinking more along the lines of the previous recommendation. I'm sure alot of people don't understand, but I'm very attached to my qwerty slider phones, and am looking for a modern solution to this. For the life of me, I can't understand why in a geek driven market, more people aren't using their smart phones or tablets in IT and Engineering roles for quick code changes, responding to on-call support tickets without having to tote around a full laptop and wait to boot up, etc.. The clothing I wear has large enough cargo pockets for an 8" tablet, so if I could get one that fits with a keyboard, I'd have my next device.
Thanks
Shield tablet wireless keyboard folio-case - another option
Yeah I use mobile like that too - for everything, including gaming.
So I found a wireless KEYBOARD FOLIO CASE reviewed by someone else today and haven't tried it yet but here's the info on it (I am cross posting this data on the keyboard-case threads for this Shield tablet, on xda here, in case people find it useful):
- I came across another wireless case option (by ZAGG, it's pricey but looks very good) from a youtube post about case options for the nVidia Shield Tablet, see:
Cannot post a url here, however here's the info to be sure it's the same video I'm referring to:
v=Obs3tK8onYQ
posted title is "Nvidia Shield tablet case options"
date posted was oct 16 2014
the poster id is wr3ckn89
- I only just saw it today & cannot report my experience yet; The zagg website can show you the local retailers that carry their stuff. Only see 1 seller so far on amazon, with ridiculous wait time, and another with a 2nd 8" model specified for samsung... The zagg site does not yet list nVidia Shields, but they have an 800 number. After looking at the website, I called Zagg customer support & talked to a real person who knew the product.
- Specific model: There is only one model that fits the new nVidia Shield tablet 8", with suitable cutouts etc. - it is the "AUTOFIT" for 8". The other model for 8" tablets won't be right.
- You can find it at retailers, but you can get a 10% discount by calling them to order directly
- It ain't cheap, but it has a 1 year warranty and tech support.
- The keyboard is not backlit (they only have one model of their wireless keyboard cases that does have a backlit keyboard at this time) - BUT they are working on backlit keyboards for their other models including the AutoFit, yay.
Zagg Autofit 8"
So I went to best buy and picked up the Zagg Autofit 8" and it's such an exact fit you would think it were an aftermarket device specifically for the shield. Pairs up nice, and does what you would expect from a bluetooth keyboard. As noted in the video review that was linked above, the stylus is not accessible, and for the most part, neither is the power button. I'll probably be using a file to shave a small amount of the case down so I can access both items.
Just to be clear, the stylus is in no way accessible without detaching the tablet partially. The power button, for my sized hands, is not accessible. Unfortunately, I did not have the luck of the video reviewer in being able to use it with fingertips. Must be these giant paws of mine.
I've also paired it up with the Razor Orochi, and can now play MMO's remotely using my tablet. Looks great, full features. etc.. :victory:
maybe the Belkin keyboard would be useful?
http://www.belkin.com/uk/F5L112-Belkin/p/P-F5L112/
however, it's a separate thing rather than converting the tablet into a mini laptop
my wife has one of these keyboard cover/cases with a slot so it becomes a stand
http://www.amazon.co.uk/TECHGEAR®-Bluetooth-Wireless-Keyboard-Samsung/dp/B00FRHKRO0/ref=sr_1_1
that one is specifically for the Samsung Galaxy Note, there are variants for other tablets such as Nexus 7 and others, but I couldn't find one for the Shield tablet
looking too
while looking for some nexus 9 accessories i came up with this
DETROIT IV KEYBOARD from portdesign dot com
maybe it could fit on a nvidia shield too ?
hope it helps
Sometimes those cheap ones from ebay work very well
I had gotten this little usb keyboard for (probably) $19 a few years ago for my Nexus 7, but it fits the Shield Tablet like a glove. Makes it a mini laptop. Has a sleep key and it just works perfectly with usb otg adapter! I'm delighted!
I have personal experience of two cases, the official one (which was flimsy and broke after 2 months from wear and tear), and the Poetic Revolution full body case, which I love the protection it provides but it makes the tablet too big for the iPega 9023 controller. The tablet is mainly for emulation gaming on the go, so I essentially turn it into a gaming handheld using the iPega. But as its on the go, it needs protection, at least for the screen.
Is there any cases out there which provide suitable protection while at the same time allowing the device to still fit in the iPega 9023?

I think its hard to find one. I assumed the official cover (being just a cover for the screen, and very thin) would do the trick.
I have a ProCase SlimSnug and I detach my tablet from the case to play with the ipega 9023.
I think it's very hard that you could find a case to use with the ipega, because it'd have to be a very thin case for the back and a very very thin cover for the front.
If someone comes with a case that you can use with the ipega, count me in.
Hi all
The Nvidia Directstylus2 is sold out at the moment. Since I got the Nvidia Shield K1 for University (reading, highlighting, notetaking) purposes, I really need a good stylus as soon as possible for the tablet. I bought the Adonit Mini Jot, and it works horribly with the tablet. I can use it with the tip of the plastic disk, but now the disk has loosened so it is impossible to use it in that way. Have you tried any other stylus pens with the tablet? Any that work reasonably well?
Many thanks for your help!

i grabbed one off amazon when it was at 19...
Hi guys, i'm searching for a compatible stylus that is good to take notes or make some exercise on my shield K1.
I am in Europe and i don't want to spend 40$ for the Direct Stylus 2 from amazon.com. I want to know if Tegra Note 7 stylus is full compatible with K1.
Or maybe, is there another stylus good? I don't want to draw but sensitivity press is appreciated.
Thank you
There's a couple for about $10usd or less through Amazon. I have a Memo 2-n-1 that has a disc on one end and a fiber tip on the other. That one seems to work well swiping between screens, app drawer, writing, etc. I thought it worked way better than the more expensive $40 Meko & Wiacom's Bamboo that's $60...
