I have been looking for a gel case for my A500. Normally these things are taking up all the space that ebay has to offer but it would appear they have decided not to make them for the A500.
So has anyone seen a gel case around of some sort? Just one that covers the back and around the edges, like they have for every phone in the world.
Thanks for any help!
Seems Acer official accessories list have a TPU case..
Only case i see from acer is
This one
Ya, was hoping to get gel case for my a500 too but in vain... no where to be found anywhere! All I see is ipad case everywhere!
I find it quite funny because on no other device do i like the damn gel cases yet I can find a gel case for everything i have ever seen.... except the A500.
Go go someone home-brew one!
Same here guys, I check ebay daily and have yet to see one. It sucks because they are made for every phone that exists and are usually dirt cheap. Why can't our Acer get any cool cases?
+1 for a gel case. Same experience here that you guys are enjoying. There's gotta be one soon... Right?
Still no news about this?

I have spoken to this site's owner. If you arrive at this site from a link from Google (having searched for something like "Acer Iconia Tab A500 silicone case") you will be directed to one of many pages like this. This company do not do an Iconia Tab gel case!
Well, someone is knocking them out so it can't be long before they appear on ebay:

You're right. You can even manipulate the model name displayed on the page by simply playing with the ending portion of the URL.

And are dust magnets! I prefer TPU over silicone when it comes to "gel" cases.

Hi everyone, I've been looking for a good sock to slip on my phone but have had no luck so far. What I'm interested in is one that's made from a cotton lycra type blend.
Here are some pics of the type of fabric I'm looking for.. if someone can help me find one that fits over the kaiser, I'd really appreciate it.
no one has any links or ideas for me?
@ericc191
Check out this thread...in particular post #2 by pof. The tilt is just a bit smaller than the 8525, but it should work.

I have had great luck using Ipod socks, which you can pick up at walmart, or the apple store....

Has anyone ran into anyplace where you can purchase the HTC Raph back shell cover?
I heard it isn't as glossy/fingerprint magnet as the Euro version.. more rubberized.
www.cnn.cn doesn't have anything listed, not even a TP.
take a piece of sandpaper and remove that shine.

LOL....funny i'm thinking of that too...but lucky my HTC back cover is rubberized..........
Sorry forgot to mentioned mine HTC is asian model...
What?! I want a rubberized back...
Will be nice to have. I am sure they will come out with replacements soon.
http://www.expansys-usa.com has a few with batteries.

Oops... Seems they reused the same stock image for the P3300's battery cover.
http://www.expansys-usa.com/p.aspx?i=143016
Still, $33 is a lot of money for rubberized plastic, especially if I'm not even 100% certain it'll fit. And I want to see an accurate picture before I plunk money down.
My TP has rubberized back. Bought in Norway.

haha!
I forgot to mention that I have the Fuze
All that someone needs to do is see if the European Touch Pro cover fits the US AT&T Fuze.
Doesn't anyone have access to both phones to test this???
(Interesting...This is my first post and I've been a member since April 2006....I'm always in here reading and I just never thought to ask anything before...weird because I post all the time over at HoFo).
if someone has a dremel tool, maybe u can fine sand it, and leave the triangle that says HTC and around the camera/flash untouched, make a rectangle shape around the autofocus text, then take it to the mall to one of those dog tag kiosk that can itch your name or logo on the back like laser itch, i think that will look cool...
while ur at it itch ur e-mail/contact info on the inside of the cover in case it gets lost!!

Found This case on ebay, think i can just use the back part on my fuse?
I saw the one on ebay too, but how come there is a big triangular hole where the camera is? How are you supposed to cover that or is it just left open?
I believe they want you to transfer it from your existing hardware... But, with my luck I would screw it up and not have a battery cover at all.
I'm normally not one to run out and pick up a device right away, but this one was calling to me. Though I have to admit I'm a little worried is that there seems to be a almost no options as far as cases go. There's the official Acer one, and then there's a +$100 case, but as far as cases built for the A500 that's all I can find. Is that fairly common for a tablet that's been out as long as ours, or is it a sign that ours' will not be very well supported by the accessory makers?
I just bought the crappy Acer one. It's better than nothing. I for one hope otterbox makes one.

Just ordered from Tiger Direct, will be here tomorrow.
I don't like screen protectors on tablets, but I feel a good, thin case is a must.
Do we know if the last Note 10.1 cases will fit the 2014 version? Or does anyone have good suggestions on ones specifically for the 2014 version?
Thanks!

If Samsung takes thier sweet time releasing the book cover, I will prob end up with the Poetic Slimline. They make good cases
Thank you very much for replying back with the post. It was very much appreciated however I was looking at the hardback scrapback case. I had one that I used for my other tablet and loved it. ?.

The last ridge where the tablet is the flattest does not work. Keeps popping out and tablet falls flat. Also for some reason it keeps leaving stains on the front of the tablet -- white iPad 2 --(my sisters)

She has clear protection plastic for the screen and yes it is permanent on that. It is a yellowish stain. Don't know if it will permanently stain the glass of the tablet if you don't have the protector but I don't trust it. Don't think it is a problem on a black tablet.

Well I needed something because the case I want won't be in stock until 10/30 and who knows there will probably be delays! So I just purchased this off of ebay for $15 with free shipping and it will be here Wednesday. Yes, it is just a sleeve but it will act as a stand in landscape which looks really sweet. So I may end up using this on and off even after I get my REAL case next month. Oh, yes $15 is a lot for a temporary case but not really when we're trying to protect our $600 Notes!

Wow, I almost got this one myself. I'm glad I decided to just hold off and use a screen protector for a while. I may break and wind up getting a poetic case. They're just 10 bucks, but I really wanted something that could hold my tablet in portrait mode.
Will the cases for the 2013 model fit this one ok?
