I'm picking up my smart cover from PC world in a few hours daddy lent me the £19.99 till the weekend when I get paid lol
Not sure where u are but try PC world or curry's website (same shop really but ether site works as its the same site just different names) and if you not in UK try. evga.com
They have replacement styles there too
And eBay has scream protector's gorlor

The problem is I live in germany, so I can't go for newegg or pcworld
And while i would consider buying it for 30 (altough i think this is ALOT for a cover), 40+ postage to germany would be too much.
But thanks anyway for the ebay link, didn't find this myself, will keep an eye on it.

tegra note 7 Slide cover video review
Here is my video review and unboxing of my tegra note 7 Slide Covers for my tablets. Have had the slide covers for about a week now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlqzSDhDOG4&
I have two slide covers and for my third tablet will look for a third party case just to have something different. I am happy with the slide cover though.

I think Nvidia has changed the procedure wholesalers are releasing these tablet, in that the flap cover in already installed on the tablet. Example the EVGA I got today has the flap cover already installed.

There have been bundle deals in India and Japan where the cover had been sold with the tablet.

Yeah. I think that initially people had such trouble getting the flaps in that they maybe doing it wholesaler wide to install the flaps. Example people were scratching their cases, to breaking the flap pin and socket hinges, due to how tight the grip was.

I hope they're still including the small insert for when you're not using the cover... I don't care for that nasty edge left without anything in the slot. For the record, I insert and remove my cover frequently (I like it for protection but don't care for using the tablet with it on as it's harder to grip), and it does get easier, though I usually have to use something like fingernail clippers to remove the small insert, and that's caused a lot of little scratches in that area. It's a shame they used such a soft and cheap plastic for these things, but hey, you get what you pay for, and I'm definitely not complaining considering the punch this little $200 tablet packs. Now bring on the KitKat so I can fall in love all over again!

I really like the flap cover. Great to close it and your tablet goes into power saving mode.

Anyone tried other third party case ? Found one with an affordable price ($13 rather than $30) with complete protection on http://www.amazon.com/MiTab-Leather-Cover-Rotational-Nvidia/dp/B00GOQIODO/ . There are two 5-star reviews . What do you guys think about them?
Almost bought the original evga slide cover. It's double the price and the reviews said they are flimsy and not reliable. Found the third party case and canceled the original evga slide cover order straight away.
And one more thing, should I buy a screen protector? Or will the case alone do the trick?

I kind of like the cover, but it does feel a bit flimsy, and I'm not sure about the big silver 'Tegra Note' bit of detail. I've also had the holding pins ping out once already, and I've only had it a day!
Has anyone managed to get it working successfully at a shallow angle for typing too? The magnet system works fine for propping it up for watching movies etc, but if I try and use it in the 'wedge' configuration for typing, it just collapses with any pressure.

Update:
Found it in ebay uk for 30 now.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EVGA-Tegra-Note-7-Official-Genuine-Slide-Cover-Case-New-/151227559256
Still more then 40€ for a simple cover, but is seems like the only choice for now.

Indeed! I noticed that too straight away... it doesn't stay well in that "wedge" configuration. It works better if you stick it to the magnets closest to the hinge (there are two sets of magnets in the tablet), but it's still not that great.
I really want to like the cover, but I like to palm my tablet in one hand while walking around with it, and that annoying silver hinge is just too flappy and annoying. I think I'm just going to get a neoprene slip case to transport it around with.

Nice but very expensive... Anything around 10$?

Do all of these work OK with The Advent Vega..?

Scratches on Athena body

Hello,
i want to change my Ameo in a new one because there are a lot of scratches on the front body. The reason is that the keyboard slipping on the surface of the body.
If any one have the same problem please Post it here because i want to show T- Mobile that this is a failure of construction.
Mine is exactly the same, I tried to take a picture, but it wasnt comming out very well, I was quite annoyed because I tried to keep it good. Does anybody know if this happens with the black ones or is it just silver. mine isnt insured and T-Mobile wouldnt entertain me for insurance because it was 3 months old. though I have heard you can insure it online somewhere.
i've got the same kind of scratches at exactly the same positions.
but i don't think t-mobile will do anything about this
i'ts a normal sign of use
I have some scratches as well, fairly similar to yours. I'll have some pics made if I can get a hold of a good enough camera.
I have a scratch at the bottom of the screen surround. The keyboard clear top has a tiny bump on it (from where it was moulded i think) and this has scratched the case! If it had a decent leather case then it wouldnt happen!
Same here, Same scratches, same area..
Guess we need to find a decent case to carry our precious around in...
Something that has some padding between the 2 parts.
Mine doesn't have this problem. Not a single scratch at all. It still look brand new. I don't use the keyboard or the leather case though. I just carry mine "naked" with my DIY belt pouch. I just have the standard free plastic screen protector over the screen area only and not the body.
This is ironic. The keyboard is supposed to protect but does the opposite.

It definetely does protect (the screen from cracks).
And imho some scratches on the body of the ameo are much better than a cracked screen
You now, we are speaking about a 800€ all in one device? Such a failure must not happen. If you had a 800€ Notebook with the same problem you would complaine about.
This is what my U1000 looks like close to the VGA camera on the front.
There are 2 more areas where I have some damage but I can't capture it properly on camera.
This is why we should take out insurance on our most expensive phones, as i hate scratches on my phones and if you complain about it with your provider/supplier and they are not willing to replace it when its a manufacture defect then i would personally claim on my insurance QUOTE (MY PHONE IS LOST/STOLEN TO GET BACK A REPLACEMENT) Its too expensive a device for it to scratch so easily.
I have the black HTC Advantage and I have the scratches too.
I have the black Athena and barely any scratches on mine. I use the stock case. The only time I got it scratched is when I first got it because I tried to use it without the case. Mistake on my part.
If you search the forum, you can also buy a $25 solution that protects your entire Athena. It's a plastic transparent covering that protects the entire body of the device. I think I may have posted it in the past to the accessories area. Well worth the tiny investment to protect the looks of your device.
Yep, I have the Black HTC Advantage X7500 and I have no scratches on it. I also do carry naked in my pocket especially around the office to meetings. However, I do feel I need something to protect it without gaining the bulk. I am still looking for a belt clip to carry it.
Just found this product.
http://www.shieldzone.com/item_description/HTCX7500.html
Read good review on PocketPCThoughts for a different product.
Has anyone tried it? It states as full body shield which includes guards for keyboard as well.
Looks Intresting.. But we all know that these type of solution are never as easy to install (Esp. as there are 8 pieces for the Athena)
as they are in the Promo vidz. The vidz also mention that the film has Adhesive on it. How would this affect the deve by:
1. Discoloring over time
2. Being able to easily remove the film, if need or if damaged.
3. Being removed from the screen, without pulling the touchscreen's
touch sensor film off.
Has anybody tried this stuff yet? I think I'll wait for more feedback before I buy.

From some of comments, it seems easy to remove from a pda.
I don't know if that comment was from someone who works for ShieldZone though.

I just ordered one. I'm having it shipped via 3 day UPS. I'll post my thoughts once I try it out. For the cost it's worth a try. They also have a lifetime replacement policy so if they get screwed up you get a free one. We'll see how it goes.

I have it on for over 4 months. Search this very forum for an extensive discussion on it. Easy to install with the water spray bottle provided. The screen protector is a bit sticky so I took it off and used a regular one.

to be honest, when i cant find any other reviews... then suddenly theres a really positive review, that makes me really skeptical...

Sounds like
http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=88113-74130-PFW486&lpage=none
That's the stuff I used in my bathroom to frost my windows... I got it wet and slid it on.. used a squeegee and flattened it all out and 3 years later is is still sticking there.
The difference is that this is
1.) Clear
2.) Cut into the proper shape (you could do this yourself with some measuring but it saves hassle)
3.) the squeegee is probably smaller.
My bathroom windows are in a VERY humid environment... I have never had ANY peeling.
However I don't keep my bathroom windows in my pocket... so I don't know if the corners will peel up.
My main point is that for $24 of this "film" to cover a TINY phone... you can buy the same thing for $18 that would cover 10 phones... if the product works fantastic... the profit margin for them is HUGE. If it doesn't work... it's the biggest rip off ever.
See if Gila makes a clear one... get $18 worth and tinker away.

Since you've had the Fuze already... Is the shape exactly the same as the TP? It looks like sprints version is a little more round along the corners. I'd Like to go ahead and purchase one of these for the Fuze but don't want to have to send it back.

The only difference I noticed when seeing the 2 up next to each other was the shape of the speaker hole on the back, that might be enough to throw the protection off. Ask Raspster about it more, he had both the European and the Fuze at the same time, so he could tell you better than I could.
I got one, just to try it out.
Exactly as described above. Its a bit fiddly getting on but once on, it sticks very well.
Its great at sticking to flat surfaces, not so good on curves. And they don't even try and cover the corners on the device, which I would think are the places I'd want protected if I was to drop it.
The texture makes the back look very different from normal; its much nicer without the cover on. On the front, you can't really see the cover at all; edges are perfectly aligned with the phones edges.
The back and the front of the phone are covered very well. Sides not so great. Corners not at all. Front looks good. Back looks crap.
My opinion, its no way worth $24
just got mine on Friday exactly as it's described, protects almost every part of the phone with their cut out plastic shield, however as mentioned in earlier post... doesn't really cover the edges, all in all... does really stick and so far looks pretty ok with the exception of little bubbles within the shield (poor application technique)

I have used the Zagg's products (formerly Invisible Shield) on my 6800, 6700, wifes Centro and even custom ordered for my Pioneer 6800DVD in my car. I really like the product, the service is second to none... That said, I think since I have used the product and know how it performs in pockets, and how to install correctly (installed dozens of shields for myself, family and friends), I may try this new product.
Screen protection has always been great and flat surfaces (side) great as well but the corners usually give way, slide and start to bubble after about 4 months of heavy in and out of the pocket use.
This is a $24 experiment begging to happen.... now if Sprint would just release the damn phone!
I would also like to know this. Can it be removed again without leaving marks on the phone?
How scratch proof is it really?
Because of the lack of info on the site (still no video's on how to apply the thing, their forum is just about empty and they don't reply to customer questions...) they really don't seem to thrustworthy ...

I would get the one released by Zagg. They offer a lifetime replacement on all products and they will replace it no questions I know. Their stuff is nearly impossible to scratch and I TRIED just about everything to scratch it. All phones full covers are $25. Never had any bubbling issues with Zagg's products.
yes it can easily be removed without any mark left at all....I found the cover started to collect dusk a lot (it must be slightly sticky) so I removed it.

Trust me, I know oh too well the replacement process and have replaced and installed many over the last 5 years.
The fact that I know the Zagg product so well, makes the experiment more interesting. I know the Zagg stuff so well that I will know if this Clear Coat stands a chance AND since it's only $25... It might turn out to be junk, the company could not stand behind the guarantee BUT we'll see.
*Update
Just got my phone yesterday and I just ordered the Clear Coat. I'll install and do a little initial write up. I'll order the Zagg shield when it becomes available and do a comparison.
It's only money and it IS a $700 device.... (but I only paid $250 for it)
Stay tuned guys.
**Update
Just ordered a Zagg full body shield at 40% off as they just got them and were doing a Halloween special I guess. I should have the Cleat Coat on Mon/Tues and the Zagg will probably be here the week after. I think I'll install the Clear Coat first, use it for a week or so and then install the Zagg and do the same.

Navitech Leather Case

Hi Guys,
I ordered one of these and it arrived this morning, A500 fits in snug as a bug in a rug!
Quality is really impressive, and all the cut out slots for ports are in the right place.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Navitech-Ex...K9WE/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1306931117&sr=8-3
£14.99 So I think is the cheapest fitted case around? Thought I would share for all!
Dan
Could you post a couple of pics? I was thinking of getting this, but the two photos they have of it on amazon don't seem to be of the same case. Also it looks like they flipped the second one cause the back camemra is on the wrong side.
Edit:
Actualy after comparing the front shot is of the PDair BX2 and the back shot is of the PDair BX1 that has been flipped and had the PDair logo Photoshopped out.
Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App

Hi there...
I have this case as well.
No. You'd have to remove the unit from the case to access the micro sd card.
the other thing that is not great about the case (which I'm going to modify) is that the leather around the bezel actually covers the edge of the screen, not just the border...it's a little smaller than I'd like. Why?
If you use the stock Android Browser, there is a great feature - Quick Controls - that allow you to slide your finger from off the screen onto the screen and bring up browser coltrols exactly where you need them. SUPER trick and very easy...
..and this case does not allow you to use this feature...
So, yeah. Modifications coming. When done I will post pics...Hopefully by the time I buy the perfect follow up case, they have thought of these things...
got mine today, shipping only took 1 week
Nicely built. Split keyboard still easy to use. Looks very smart.
It does allow the tablet to
slide down a little so the rfcamera gets covered up, bot a little surgery will fix that. If you use it upsidedown,
it doesnt slide down enuf to over the camera or the keys at thr screen bottom.

so...which one of the two different photo is????
Navitech case review
After having this case for over a week, I'm noticing a few things that are beginning to make me shop for another case...
1) The flap that tucks under the A500 to hold it in place has no real fastener so the more I use it, the more it is loosening up and the more it wants to slide down making the camera useless in the case.
2) The more I use it, the more the cheap leather (or..whatever it is...) is loosening up and is getting a bit..baggy around the screen.
3) I truly wish it had 1/8 of an inch more around the screen area to be able to use the gestures with the stock browser because I LOVE the way they work.
At this point, I'm probably going to start modifying it so it serves it's protection purpose until I get the next case. I am already starting to shop...
If you can live with these issues, by all means go ahead and get one - overall it's not that bad if you are willing to do a few mods to it...But be forewarned. You are getting what you pay for at this price...
try upside down for item one

...and? there's ONE hole in the border / frame of the case that is JUST big enough to see the front camera when it's in the perfect position. If the camera is not lined up with that hole - no workie...
Also, if you put the unit in upside down, not only does the FRONT camera not work, but the camera on the back, the speakers, and the jack for the dock are covered as well. Also no workie...
Also does not address the loosening up of the flap issue..I've only had it a week and ALREADY it's pretty loose and allows the unit to slide Very Easily inside the case...
Ummm...Do you work for Navitech by any chance?
no I dont work for them
Ummm...Do you work for Navitech by any chance? [/QUOTE]
no but I have one. when upsidedn the rfc works as do the speakers, the ffc no.
maybe some velcro would be an easy fix.

the acer branded case also slides a great bit after a short time, but it is a very thin material that provides almost no drop protection.
At least this is leather ....
The case from navitech is half the price of the Acer case and is way better. The Acer case isn't only rubber, but seriously rubbish. I used doublesided tape for the flap of the navitech, the tab doesn't slide anymore
Thanks for the idea

I have had this case for 2 weeks and loving it so far. Great fit.
The flap that holds thetablet snug did get loose as people mentioned. Iused a 2x1 inch piece of industrial velcro to creat a latch. Works like a champ and i can remove the tab when needed.
I've had this case on order from amazon.com (U.S.) and so far although they claim they shipped it June 6 I've seen no sign of it. No tracking info was provided. After contacting them through Amazon, I got a response stating that they had had trouble with shipments to the U.S., and in exchange for refunding my shipping fee they asked I wait another week.
Waiting, but not impressed (with Navitech) so far.
I had a problem with my shipment as well. They've asked me to wait a week longer and they (because the shipment never came) asked if I want a new product or a refund.
I asked for a new product and they sent it today via first class airmail.
It's not their fault that post offices keep losing shipments. Actually we're both unhappy. They had to ship two products instead of one and I had to wait a month for it.
C'est la vie
Well mine finally showed up today. Battered and dirty in a big mailing folder not a box. The case doesn't seem any worse for the trip it had taken, and my A500 is having a nap in it right now.
The flap that tucks under it to hold it in the case is very soft leather and doesn't keep the tablet from slipping a little up or down. Still, this case should be find to carry my A500 out and about in and keep me from worrying about scratching the thing.

[Q] Does anyone have the leather pouch?

I love the look of the Galaxy Tab 10.1, and I take good care of my stuff so I don;t really need a think and bulky case. I saw the leather pouch on their webite, and thought it was perfect, since I just need something to protect it from bumps and scratches while carrying it.
Has anyone seen this, used it, had a hands-on with it? Does anyone own it?
Are there cheaper 3rd party ones?
Edit: This forum will not let me link to the pouch, but it is $29.99.
I had the book cover case on order but I ended up canceling it. I found a belkin case at best buy for $45 its thin doesnt add much bulk at all and it it folds into a stand. I just wanted something thin and easy to protect the screen. I'm not worried about dropping it.
I dont have the name or model number I left the box on my desk at work. I'll update later with the info. I couldnt find it on the belkin website or besbuy.
Funny thing the best buy employees didnt even know they had it when I went in last friday.
I bought the leather one that was right next to that one and I do not think it adds a lot of bulk to it but it def protects it and thats what is most important to me.

I love the look of the Galaxy Tab 10.1, and I take good care of my stuff so I don;t really need a think and bulky case. I saw the leather pouch on their webite, and thought it was perfect, since I just need something to protect it from bumps and scratches while carrying it.
Has anyone seen this, used it, had a hands-on with it? Does anyone own it?
Are there cheaper 3rd party ones?
Edit: This forum will not let me link to the pouch, but it is $29.99.

Yep, I'm with you, I didn't want anything too bulky with so many flaps, etc.
I'm glad I bought the pouch. It's perfect and it's a tight fit. Just to test how tight it is, I held it upside down with the opening side down and the Tab didn't slide out at all.
I got the pouch, it was free since I was one of the first 200 at the launch on the 8th. I use it daily but I will be swapping it most likely for the book case by samsung when I can get it a bit easier.......I have a belkin leather one that is still unopened lol idk it seems a bit bulky
I have the Belkin folio stand. I only bought it because of convenience. My cat nearly jumped on to my tablet while it was laying on the couch, so I wanted something to protect it (and the Samsung case isn't available yet).
The fit is very snug, and it folds up to various viewing angles. It has a nice elastic strap that can be pulled around to hold it shut.
It is a _little_ bulky. The selling point on this tablet is the weight and thickness. That being said, the case weighs almost as much as the tablet. So, don't get it if weight is important to you.
Overall it's pretty nice. Probably a bit overpriced. When people want to play with the tab though, I always take it out of the case. It's so much prettier without it .
The Samsung Book Cover case just shipped and should be here by week's end. I'll keep you posted on it. Personally, I don't like anything that I have to keep pulling it out and pushing it in. I feel it's a matter of time before a scratch occurs.
Please do, I have belkin one and just don't love it. The Samsung one is back ordered again, and would like your impressions on it.

Thanks for information on the cases, but I don't want a case anymore. I'd rather have a nice pouch or neoprene sleeve that will protect it from scuffs of traveling.
The thing is I don't want to spend $30 for a sleeve. I just want a nice sleeve that I can carry the Tab in, without breaking the bank. It doesn't have to be an "official" sleeve, as long as it fits, I don't care.

yea I agree with your statement especially since I use the keyboard and media dock. they wont fit with any case what so ever.......I even tried to take the docking station part off again like the directions say to make more room but was still unable to do so lol
I have the suede pouch from sfbags.co
Originally for the replaced Xoom, it is a tight fit but works great.
They have a great service.

Since the Tab is longer than the XOOM, does it pop out more? How durable is the sleeve?

Check out my A500 case from Ebay (for European Buyers)-with pictures!

Hi
http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150621849701#ht_2626wt_905
I just ordered one of these on ebay, and i am here to show some pics of it in order to help some people to clarify some doubts, like those i had before.
When i say it's for european buyers, it's because i got it from ebay from germany and so the costs are less expensive if you buy it from the states (i'm from Portugal)
The material looks very good, although it's not real leather. The stand function is very functional and very well designed. It adds a fair bit of bulk, but i can live with it (i prefer security over style)
The main reason for this choise are those clips that holds the tablet in place, and allows a nice view of the toy so well and shiny, better than the other cases with the labels that can easily come in front of your screen after some time of use.
You can use the case as a horizontal stand, and also hold it as a book...
When closed there is a elastic grip to keep the case closed and also necessary for the tablet not to slip away from the case. In fact this is the only fault i notest with this case, it has only 5 plastic clips on three sides of the case instead of all 4 sides, so the tablet slides into the case through the right side where there are no clips and it can slip away if you hold the case in vertical mode with this side down. Not an issue untill know, but it can be if the owner forgot this and dont use the elastic wrist to keep it safe...
So, i just have the case i was expecting and know i just feel saver with it carrying it around the house.
Now the pics:
P.S. If you have some questions please feel free to leave it here.

I know this case.
On my review i didn´t mention but this case has 2 openings for speakers which are lifted when you put the tablet in the standing mode, when it is closed it´s protected from the dust...so i guess this is a better idea.
Looks just like my case from Amazon too! Got mine for like 15 shipped 2day. It works great except that the tabs get weak after time.
