Ok so I took the plunge and ordered a "G" to replace my iPad... I know I'll be needing a SD card (obviously) and am wondering what brand and class the majority of you use. I'll be using mine for storing videos and music... possibly running a few apps off too. Anyone have any really cool cases they have found and would like to suggest? Any tips and or links would be greatly appreciated.
My list
A folding stand eBay link here
A nice case Amazon link here
Screen protector and rear skin Skinomi link here
Case with keyboard eBay link here
Game controller Link here
Dock and custom case Thread link here
previous post covers most accessories well. just want to add that you may want to tweak or flash a new rom your new g tab once you get it, full instructions even for a newb are here on xds for the process

These are all great. A few alternates:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004JF9N1O/ref=oss_product - Same case with keyboard listed above, for about the same price, but through amazon. Also ships incredibly quickly (I got mine in 2 days from the date of purchase).
http://www.gotshadeonline.com/products-page/tablets/viewsonic-g-tablet/ - A much cheaper version of the carbon fiber vinyl back covers from Skinomi...also, made by an XDA member!
I would recommend going to a craft store and getting a dish stand. I got a wooden one that folds and it workz great for holding the tablet. Plus it under 9 dollars
Great list, I appreciate it... have any of you used that keyboard case? How is it on the battery? I would think that it would really shorten its life, but then again I know bluetoon really hits the iPads and my current android phone too. So maybe this would be better. What are your thoughts?

I have everything on the list I provided except for the Malata case. This usb keyboard case does the job. When you get it you may have to move the left tab down or remove it completely as it may block access to the usb port on your gTab. Some users have said that if you tell the seller you need the one for the gTab they may send you a case that already has the left tab moved down.
With that said, these cases shouts "CHEAP". It is made of shiny plastic pleather. The keyboard is also not coated with silicone so it can rub against the screen of your gTab and damage it. Finally, the case doesn't feel secure. It feels like the tablet is moving around a lot. Some users have added velcro to their gTabs and the case to hold it more securely. It does come in handy when you need to type a lot. It doesn't seem to draw the battery much at all.
As for wireless keyboards, some users have had success with wireless bluetooth and usb keyboards especially the ones that use a dongle plugged into the usb port.
Hey all,
I found this on amazon. Thought maybe some might be interested. It's a cheap alternative and I've already placed my order for it. 9.58 isn't alot to spend and that's all i figured I'd lose. I ordered the brown one but there's a black one too. Might be a cheaper alternative to the tuf-luv case since some were worried about the bulk. I'll update this once I receive it and give you some pics.
Since it won't allow me to url tags or give out the url, search for Navitech + Asus and you should see what I'm talking about.
Let me know what you think!
This looks JUST like the Elsse Premium Synthetic Leather Case (there's a thread about this elsewhere in this sub forum). They were having a discussion there about whether or not the case would work with the dock as well, and I guess the answer would be yes, if you unfasten the velcro?
Can anybody confirm?
Is this what you mean? Looks good if not a little thick when all combined.
Anxious to hear any reviews.
Yeah...that's what I was talking about...apparently they must have had a huge messup with the price because I got one yesterday for 4.99 + 4.49 shipping....they've sent it and it looks like it's coming from the UK...anyhow...the 4.99 are gone and they've got only the 19.99 left. I'll give a review once I get the case...even if you undo the velcro, you can still to a material store (joanne fabrics, etc.) and get a longer velcro strap to hold it together. Thanks!
Wouldn't the rooCASE Slim work the same way?
http://goo.gl/V0RMe
roocase does not do the samee thing at all; this has a case for the tablet, then also for the docking port and then they finally work together somehow.

Looks like someone gave it 1 star on the Amazon product page. According to the reviewer it does not accommodate a docked tablet too well.

Looks like the reviewer may have a legit point. If you look at the sideways pictures, you can tell the tablet is not docked. The tablet hangs over the edge of the dock by almost an inch. Anybody who has the tablet with the dock knows that when it is closed, there is almost no overhang. I know I won't be buying it.
With that said, if anyone knows of a better case. Even one that would store the dock and tablet separately, I'd like to know about it.
ilgadets,
If you're interested in a sleeve case, I recommend this one:
http://www.overstock.com/Luggage-Bags/Wenger-Swiss-Gear-Legacy-10.2-inch-Tablet-iPad-Netbook-Slimcase/5804731/product.html
It has two zippered pockets, handles, a removable shoulder strap, and pockets on the front and back,
and it fits the Transformer and keyboard dock (separately) perfectly.
The handles can be slipped into the pockets, but that adds "bumps" that I didn't like.
I wanted the thinnest possible case, so I cut off the the handles and the triangular clips for the shoulder strap.
I think this is one of the best solutions for carrying the tablet and keyboard separately.
Regards,
Eric
FWIW - I grabbed one from best buy for an HP Mini 10 and it works perfectly. Fits very snug with the dock, and i feel safe carrying the tab around in it. Also has a zip pouch for a cleaning cloth, HDMI adapter, headphones, and other small items.
Was about $25 iirc... so a little bit more than what you're looking at here.

I have the exact same one, mines black and kinda has a 3D cube kinda pattern on the front. Anyways, I'm an employee, so mine only set me back $7. BBY employee discount is changing though, so that won't be the case in the future.
Anyways, case fits great, holds tab or tab+keyboard excellently.

Are you guys taking about a case or a carrying bag? Unless I'm mistaken, I believe the OP is talking about a folio type case for both the tablet and dock - kind of like this Tuff-Luv combo case.

The Tuff-Luv's are very nice and well made but also pricy. This might be a good folio alternative for cheaper one.

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

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)
I will make a short video of it at lunch time when the office is quieter lol
I find the smart cover case of my iPad 2 is ideal for typing in "landscape keyboard" mode. I haven't found any cases on eBay etc that do this except some really bulky/fugly ones. Has anyone found anything elegant/thin along the lines of the iPad 2 smart cover yet? I realize the GT7.7 doesn't have the logic to turn off when the cover is closed, I can live without that!
The original Samsung OEM case/cover looks very nice but doesn't seem to stand on its own in landscape keyboard mode

As long as the surface is not overly smooth, the Samsung Original Book Cover case does stand in landscape (thanks to rubber strips that adds friction). See pics. May not *look* especially stable, but it does seem to hold out nicely.
Ironically, I would like to see a case that allows my tab to stand in portrait mode, since I'm more likely to read that way. Never seen one before.
I have a case similar to the official iPad1 case. Very slim and snug fit. Doesn't add much to the size of the device, keeping the original slimness. Its faux leather on the outside and suede cloth inside. It has the same standing mechanism as the iPad1 case too. Comes in a few colours, I got the brown one.
I've been looking for exactly this type of case and was amazed they are made. I believe I can post images now and so I'll put some up later.

Thats the one. I personally prefer cases that give all round protection and this case does that. I find cases that only grip the corners can come loose over time, and badly made ones have terrible tolerances and may not even adequetly hold the device.

Hey guys,
If anybody is looking for cases, I'm using this one.
http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Folding-...1SCQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1337432342&sr=8-2
I like it a lot. It's very sturdy, strong build and the price is not bad at all. i would recommend it. Reviews are pretty good on it as well.. I'm not a big fan of folding cases but this one changed my mind. It's not those flimsy cheap ones they sell on ebay for $5. I had one of those for my tab 7.0 plus and it was garbage.
Ordered this same case over the weekend and am awaiting delivery. I do have the keyboard dock but see this as an excellent alternative for some situations. It's called a Transformer for a reason after all.

I concur, its a good case and since I couldn't find it in the Netherlands, I also ordered it through Amazon.
+ Very affordable
+ Sturdy
+ Proper screen protection
+ Fast delivery
+ Simple, yet stylish finish (leather-look, black)
But....
- I had to "adjust" the hole for the headphone. Originally it was placed 7 mm too low (when holding the tablet upright). But with a sharp knife, that is easily done.
- The cover is (when folded) hold in place by a small flap. I find that the friction is too low to properly keep the cover in place. So I improved it with some velcro. Now the cover stays were it is no matter how mucht I move the case around. Just make sure you place the soft side of the velcro on the cover (doesn't scratch the screen)
- It adds about half of the tablet in weight, which is no problem when its standing/laying on a surface of course. But just to let you know
-The 40 pin connector is at all times unprotected
- I am also thinkin of clearing some of the material around the on/off switch. I find it a bit too hard to reach (I am a lazy SoB, mind you )
- I will add a small loop for a stylus (not present)
I admit I am still waiting for the smart cover version like the one for the TF201. But until that moment, this one is it.
Cheers
I purchased this case and received it today. I really like it and it was a great deal. It's probably tthe best one for the money right now. Very well-made and fits perfectly. I especially like now the screen cover adjusts depending on the way you want to use the wedge stand and the magnets in said cover to keep it closed.
All-in-all, I highly recommend it to anybody who is looking for a case and is not going to be using the keyboard dock.

i have it sitting on my desk at home, now i'm just waiting on the TF300 couple of questions:
1. assume the case closed leaves the inside of the case touching the screen. any damage possible here? it looks like pretty soft suede or microfiber, but still wondering.
2. what's the deal with carving out the headphone jack? has anyone else had to do this?
3. do you have pictures of the velcro thing? anyone else had problems closing it?

If you are talking about the Moko one?
1. No, No damage possible. I had it for a month or so and havent seen damage on screen. I wonder this to, but it doesnt touch the screen. Atleat for me it doesn't.
2. I didn't have to. I used the headphones with no problem. No carving..
3. I can send a picture of the velcro but it's pretty strong. The tablet doesn't move down or tries to walk away from the case.
Mine is supposed to arrive tomorrow (Friday). Can't believe the overwhelming positive feedback from so many other users who have this case.

It's a delivery estimate, but generally the dispatches from UK are very quick.
I have the moko case for the tablet and its great. The reason the screen doesn't get scratched is because of 2 magnets that are sitting on each corner on the far end of the case and when the case is closed there is still about a centimeter or 2 of clearance. Great case imo

Hi,
is it easy to take out? I use the dock very often and I'm just looking for a case for surfing the internet or watching films, so I don't have to hold the tablet all the time. But cases like the slim one make it very hard / annoying to take the tablet out.
Does the magnets affect the tablet?
One of the reviews on Amazon for this case said that the magnets have some affect on the GPS. I am generally reluctant to bring electronics close to magnets. Does anyone see any issues with the magnets and GPS?

No it's not. I take it out all the time. I personally don't like cases, but I had one because of my daughter.
