Just got my 'Dork' kit from today

Just got my Dork Gizmo kit with a Hard Shell Case for travelling and an HDMI cable,USB cable and a key hook? Weird. (Suppose to say from 'Amazon' dunno why the hell it didnt appears as i typed it.)
Here's the link if anybody is curious.
http://www.amazon.com/Gizmo-Dorks-S...142S/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1307720366&sr=8-6
Im very happy because its a very good price!
I got everything now except the Skinomi which I intend to buy.
Even got 32GB Kinsgston.
If anyone has a question please shoot.
Cheers!

I got the same hardshell so far I love it! Keep us posted on the 32gig card I'm still saving pennies for that one lol.

Well I use my 32GB card today and its real nice to have aloooot of space.
And it works fine! Speedy, Kingston class 4.
I love the hardshell too, its a liiiittle bit hard to close the hard shell with the protective casing on but still it works! And that makes it awesome for travel.
Next thing is Skinomi screen protector and im done!
Loving my Acer more and more everyday!
Just wish they would make a keyboard dockstation so one can have the option of using it as a notebook and of course double the battery time or more since the dock would have batteries too.
The one they released not is a f-ing joke...

I bought this package from the suggestions here. I love the hdmi and the usb cables. I had thought that the case would be a tight fit, but loving the price and package.

I have the standard Acer gel case. Do you think there is enough room for the tablet to fit in the hard case with the gel case on it? It isn't thick. I really like that hard case.

I would think that you can fit the gel case in the hard case. Its pretty roomy, and I think its a little TOO roomy for my taste

I use it with the official Acer case INSIDE the other Hard Case(the one that look identical to Ipads) and I have no problem with too much room, in fact its borderline to tight but it feels sturdy and safe.

Give me another 10 hours. I am not near a computer
opps. Just figured out I can upload it from my phone. Hope that helps.

Yes I believe they do, you can just proceed to checkout when you are in Amazon after adding it to your basket and then you can confirm if you can receive it in your country.
But I believe it should be able to be delivered worldwide yes.

This stylus is well rated on Amazon. Just ordered one, should do great on our tabs. Tried one by Griffin today and even with the thick screen protector it worked awesomely.

From what I read on amazon this one is heavily counterfeited and those suck. If its not from targus it probably sucks. I'll have to see if this one is real though lol

For $5 bucks I bought one. I'll report back once I receive it. Thx

I just use a hotdog. Then eat it when I'm done.
Licking the screen works too if you really want to impress the ladies.

I'm wasn't a fan of the rubber tips, but I have made a few foam ones and recently tried a rubber one and it really works the best. I hope we don't get a crappy counterfeit one lol

I take notes at meetings and at school. So I'm gonna give this a try. We really lack a good note taking app though. Tab notes is the best so far and its not that great compared to one note.

I'd really love to use a stylus for sketching - could care less for note taking. But sketching would be great - only problem is, the tab isn't all that responsive - I mean, don't get me wrong - it's great. It's just wasn't built with that kind of functionality in mind... Which is unfortunate.
Still though, I'll get one eventually.

You know, I thought the same thing. I would draw something and the line would follow after. Using tabnotes it doesn't do that. I was looking for a mod to increase screen polling or responsiveness but nothing.

I ordered one, still no shipping info and no response to my email, oh well glad I paid with PayPal, if I don't hear anything in a few days, I will file a complaint with PayPal.

Mine shipped a day or two ago. These daily deal sites are slow.

The the BEST I've used.
DAGi P504. Don't have a link just Google. Transparent tip is mounted on a spring so no matter what angle your holding it, it will make contact. Very precise. I like it a lot better than the old style which you hat to hold at only one angle & much better than the eraser type.

Pointed tip Stylus?
Does anyone know of a stylus with a pointed rubber tip like the HTC Flyer one only usable on the A500? I would like one for some of the drawing programs and just can't get used to the rounded oversize points on most generic stylus.
Thanks

That's a nice stylus. I wonder if it does.

http://www.ipaddoodler.com/article/big-ipad-stylus-review
I know that says iPad but it's a great quick run down of a few stylus (styli?). I am really considering the Ostylus or the Dagi one, but they have a new model the 506 with a slightly different design.

A100 case

IM patiently exiting for my a100 to arrive just wondering what the best case will be ? I know this is a a500 forum but there isn't a a100 one. I want a case I can open up with to use the a100 in a book type folder if you know what I mean.
I have found a envelope style one Where youb slide the Acer in but I want the book style one, had anyone any ideas ? IM in the UK

The Acer A100 case is quite nice. The tablet slides in, the cover flops over and has two notches that you cn use for an easel. Opens like a book. It's much nicer than the A500 case.

You are in the same scenario as us A500 owners a few months ago... ( no accessories )

Got mine today. Acer OEM. Not leather, vinyl. And boy, does it have a weird smell! I'm trying to air it out, but it may have to go back.

Oddly I like the smell of it. Fits nice too. Far better than the hideous sharp edged A500 case they made. The trenches for the easel part could be deeper, it tends to fall over if one types aggressively.
Sent from my A100 using XDA Premium App

The OEM appears to be the only thing available right now if you can find it. Amazon has several other vendors coming early October it appears, but none in stock.

I left mine on a clothesline outdoors all night, and the smell is greatly diminished. So, it'll do, until a real leather case comes along.

Not trying to be a jerk, but I'm pretty sure this thread belongs in the A500 accessories forum.

One of those is a rooCase folio in black leather. That's what my wife has for her Sammy 7" (in red) and it's very nice. Cheaper than the OEM too.

The rooCase is now showing in stock. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005KLC2BE
I ordered one. Once I get it I'll update with a review.

I just got one of these babies...

Nice generic case that's a perfect fit, is hard shelled so protects your tab, and is generally rather nice. Way cheaper than the rooCase, too.

Picked up Acer Portfolio today at Bureau En Gros (aka Staples) in Quebec. I've heard others mentioned a smell of some sort--don't notice any smell.
It has a carbon finish and cut out for the camera and access to all ports.
I've attached some photos to check out what it looks like with A100 inside.

Galaxy Note Olympic edition

As you all know Samsung is Official partner of the Olympic Games 2012 in London.
Especially for the Olympic Games Samsung shipped Galaxy Notes with a special Olympic pack!

The back of The Galaxy Note has been changed! And it looks stunning!
What do you think?? Would love it more if it has a PH flag...lol
Copied from this <<Source>>

I want that back for my note!

Looks nice but you don't have the original samsung flip case anymore lol.
So please sammy give us the same with the flip attached

if anyone wants to sell one of these backplates, pm me

I tweeted it this morning.
The note is currently being pushed out with the Olympic theme and attached pack.
Olympic pack, a union flag back. The one good thing about this back/battery cover (apart from being a beautiful British flag) is the fact is protects the camera lens glass (see photo for indent) The stock ‘Samsung’ battery cover it more flat (and for its own good reason, yes) Not that I use it this flag one, I only put it on for the photos, it also came with the stock ‘Samsung’ back.
Rest of the photos I took here.
Oooppss won't let me post the rest of the photo as per the '8 post rule' which is fair enough.
you can see them here - @Sicknology

I like the union jack one looks well class..

Union jack one for me please

is this for all purchases during the olympics?
how did you get one?

Found one of the back covers on eBay uk, looks like the only one available on eBay atm

It looks great though to be honest I would have preferred something with a more Olympic theme. And yes, it obviously will be wasted if you use a cover.
I wonder if there is some Olympic-themed software, perhaps a really cool live wallpaper or something.

I have the Union Jack too ... Sadly i dont like it so kept to the default

Now if there would be a light version of that union jack one I would buy.
Right now I wouldn't buy that since its so black

Me too! But then I have a case on mine :-/

I was sent it from o2, they said it was a special Team GB Olympic pack, I think only contract. But they’re also giving them to the athletes who come to the London Games.
Might stick on Ebay now.

Flip Case

Is there a case like this

Somehow I don't think the phone will sell enough to guarantee that. But we'll see. I'd love a flip case. Since forever ago.

I would also enjoy having this case.. Really hoping it comes out

Well, they could always make a snap on case with a cover attached.

nice
that's really nice

Would Luv this! I have a verticle Hoco leather on my Sensation now.

PDair And Piel Frama have made flip cases (both vertical and horizontal) for Nexus devices. I assume they will for the 4 as well. I just emailed PDair so we'll see what the response is.
I have a Piel Frama for my Nexus One and love it.

PDair's response:
"Thanks for your enquiry. LG Nexus 4 E960 on planning schedule, but our Marketing Department not yet confirmed the release date."
So at least they're working on it and I will wait for one of these.

Leather cases already available in Europe
There is a European vendor (docteur-gms.com) with a number of cases for the Nexus 4, including leather wallet and leather flip cases. I cannot yet post full links so add http to the following //docteur-gsm.com/en/2573-lg-nexus-4. There are many color options and styles available. If I buy a Nexus 4 (I'm waiting to see the early real world reviews by all you first adopter buyers to make my decision), I'll probably get one of the leather cases from this site. I don't know what import duties will run, but the prices for the leather cases seems reasonable when converting from Euros to Dollars (although I didn't try to calculate shipping).

Maybe they'll make one like they do for the N7, and that one is only $20 so for a phone it should be ~$10.

Just seeing if I can post a photo of the black leather flip case for the LG Nexus 4 at the site that I referenced in my earlier post. They have a white one that opens from the side, but like a lot of their products, they've posted the Samsung Galaxy S3 product photos. Hopefully, they'll get all their product photos updated ASAP once they get their hands on an actual phone.

Do you (or anyone else) know of any other manufacturers of leather folio cases?
I checked out the PDair and Piel Frama flip/folio cases for the Galaxy Nexus and I wasn't that impressed. I'm looking for a SLIM and simple leather folio case.

I cant wait for a flip case either.

Sorry... Started to repeat myself.

I sent out emails to several OEM's, interestingly all replied but most with generic responses. I did get one semi specific response:
"For the Nexus 4 custom flip covers, we are currently evaluating the market. Due to lack of easy access to the battery cover, requiring users to apply manual labor, use scarce tools and remove the original battery cover might cause warranty issues. This will significantly reduce the size of the market we would cater to."

I doubt if we'll ever get these from LG

Why can't these manufacturers make a transparent snap-on case that goes on the back and includes a flip-cover? I don't see why they'd even consider the idea of "removing the non-removable battery cover" just to apply a case onto it.
