Ok so I lost my battery cover in a bar =/ , I looked around and found this expansys thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3005813
I wasn't sure about expansys and they charge a fortune for Canada shipping. Anyhow I kept looking and just found that:
http://www.msgdigital.com/productdetail.asp?productid=46908
So it's a bit cheaper, shipping to canada is cheaper (still an expensive lost for a freakin cover! )
I am on the pre-order and I am using my old Htc Excalibur in the mean time.
I will update the thread to let people know about my experience since I know it's a pretty popular item with the fuze owner and some people are sick of expansys!
Pre-ordered. Hope they don't pull an Expansys...
Someone that has good skills in painting might want to take a look at this site and set something for fellow XDA members to maybe save money and not give the money to expansuck.

I was thinking of that kind of painting when I started to get pissed off of the finger dust on my Fuze... thanks for the info... now i know which paint I'm looking at.
As for the expansys (expensive) case, i got my pre-ordered for $15 (shipping to Canada is way too expensive, so I've asked a friend to do me a favor and ship it to me)
The shipping cost from expansys to Canada is exaggerating (we're talking about $30 for the case + $20 for shipping).... It's stupid. I asked my friend to buy me a $2 bubble envelop and ship it with a stamp
I don't know why people on XDA promote expansys so much, their products are expensive... the service is so so and international shipping is just stupid.
Got an email from msdigital today apologizing for the delay and confirmed a 1/20 ship date. Get bent, Expansys.
Hey what about me!
Lol, still good news
Did you end up getting these? Still says no date on website

This cover is for the Extended 1800mah OEM battery.
I got this one as well, the device is pretty thick and massive. Battery last a good two days with this one compared to a little over a day with the regular one.

See this thread, I presonally got it of eBay with the battery, because alone its useless, the regular battery wont touch the cover and it might move/disconnect

I'll update: I ordered one from msgdigital.com and it arrived quickly. It is great! I love it better than the glossy, especially since I had accidentally scratched the back of my original Fuze battery cover...
I had no problems from MSGDigital.com. Just wanted to post that in light of the problems people had with expansys...
ok so I see you guys are looking for cases and what not, if your just looking to get a better color for your battery cover (black would be my choice) you guys could dye it yourselves without having to spend much money at all, everything you need should be under $2 and it will only take about 20 minutes to do.
All you have to do is go to your local Wal-Mart and buy some RIT dye, the powder kind, then get a pot with water and heat it up enough that it would burn if you stuck your finger in there but not so much that its boiling, then mix the dye in there and sumberge your battery cover completely in there, you don't have to worry about covering or removing the camera lense cover or anything, the dye shouldn't stick to that part of the battery cover and it shouldn't stick to the inside of your battery cover because of the type of material. You should stir the pot with your battery cover in it for 15 minutes then take it out and rinse it under water until all the extra dye has come off. You now should have a black battery cover that looks like it came that color stock. There are some pictures and success stories and basically a run down of what I just said in a thread over at PPC Geeks which is where I usually linger around.
Heres the link, pics and all should be on the first post.

Well I finally received mine and it turns out that I don't like it. Nothing wrong with it just spoiled by my IS cover. I will sell mine ( just arrived today) for what I have into it so the first $29 + shipping gets it. Payment is through paypal but I will only ship to a paypal CONFIRMED adress. PM if interested.
Maybe a picture to help understanding what we are looking at here?
Here, these are not mine but you get the point.
where did you get the new covers from?
thats really cool. where did you get it?? i dont always wanna use the nice looking back. ie when im at school or work...
RebelShadow probably got it from Expansys like the rest of us. I also contemplate selling mine as I already have the Seidio case + the OEM 1800 battery that came with a different back. (not meaning to hJ the thread).
mine took nearly 2 months to get to me from Expansys so if you are looking to pick one of these up im sure this will be much much faster.
I'm am selling just the one cover and not many. I ordered it from Expansys almost 2 months ago and just received it but as I said I like the feel of my IS cover better. If someone wants the cover but does not want to wait the couple of months to receive it from Expansys here's your chance.
Thanks your look y'all but the cover is sold!

Rebel,
Hope you don't mind me tagging on your thread now yours is sold, I don't want to start another thread.
I am selling mine (new) if someone is interested, please PM me. I bought this from Expansys around the time I bought the OEM 1800 cell + Seidio case, so I really don't have a need to use this rubberized back between alternating with the Seidio and extended cell that comes with its own back.
How much you selling it for sclui56?

$32 shipped to confirmed PP addy via USPS. Let me know via PM if interested. Thanks.
UPDATE: SOLD, thanks for looking..
I will be buyin this bad boy on LAUNCH DAY....
I think i'll wait on buying the dock though....
gonna miss my gTab, hope I get what I paid for the gTaba nd the CLIP.
I hope they make a CLIP for the Transformer, I LOVED IT for the gTab!
I was able to sell my G Tab on ebay this past weekend for $345 shipped with Skinomi screen/back protectors. I only lost like $10 compared to what I paid for everything. Kind of a bummer since I only owned the G Tab for like a week lol. But oh well... I think the Transformer will be worth it.
Probably best to unload the G Tab now anyway, before it quickly starts to lose value.
Auction just closed, got $335 + $15 shipping, came to $339.50 after paypal fees. After I take my MAC bluetooth keyboard back to bestbuy ill have (hopefully) ~$410 which should put me close to the Transformer, i hope.
It was a blast to use my gTab, now its time to move on to something new and let someone else enjoy the goodness =D
I'm on the same boat. I have two Nooks that are going on ebay before the transformer catches wind.

OT: How did that Skinomi protector work on the gtablet? I just posted in Accessories that I saw they were advertising a protector and carbon fiber back on Amazon - but have never heard of them.
It worked really well. Fitment of the back piece was kind of crappy (holes didn't quite line up) but for the most part, I was happy with it. It made the screen more responsive and improved viewing angles a bit.

Thanks for the feedback.
I found a few others posting that the back pieces didn't fit quite right, but still worked.
Another member in the gtablet forum actually cut some carbon fiber backs for several of us so I'll have to see if he's still "in business" for this one.

Yeah the guy selling his own custom carbon fiber backs is a little bit more expensive though. Seems like it may be a higher quality product, but I'm not sure. The Skinomi kit comes with pieces for the sides of the tablet as well though.
I sold my Gtab I have had since November, last week. I'm looking forward to working on the Transformer and will be in for the tablet/dock as soon as it is available in the US.
How can you go wrong with $5 ??
I'm willing to bet even these beat those medium - premium cases/portfolio too ! ...

Not like this is going to break your banks ... LoL
check out the pictures & reviews
... Unfortunately... I can't get it to Canada
but still shares the treasures
just ordered it great price.hope its not junk. But o have amazon premium so can't really loose
I ordered this Sunday it came in today good quality leather.I love the fact that you can see the device on all sides with no bezel cover.However I do not like the forword folding stand.I will get used tto it or modify it to stand by closing backwords.
Much better then the acer branded case. I wasted 40.00 on that crap.
Thanks again for thelink
Erica Renee the geeky blonde chic.
$5 + 4.99 Shipping.
Still a good deal if you need one, but I already have a case. I was just gonna buy it cuz it was so cheap lol.
Thanks! Ordered one, you're right. Can't really go wrong for $10 bucks...
Vipertek
I have the Vipertek case, it is very good. Cut outs for speakers, camera etc. Gives the tablet a good leather look. Holds it in place nicely. Doesn't work has a stand in portrait. When you flip it back, say in your lap, the speakers get covered by the flap but it doesn't effect the sound bad at all. For that price, I may get another one. Great case. I paid $30 for it a few months ago.B005LMMXHA The first link.
My roomie has the Vipertek case for his Galaxy Tab and it's not bad at all for five bucks. If the Acer version is just as good I'd give it a thumbs up.
Looks exactly like my Blurex I got last month, and paid a whole lot more for. In for one so I have a spare, lol.
Seems they have now changed the prices on them. As they are now $11.95 for each one. And it now totals $20.39 for the shipping included. I guess you could add another item and try to get the super saver shipping deal for $25 over orders though.
Was likely a very short timeline as I feel that price was very generous. I got in on the 5.00+5.00 shipping However, it appears that it will not arrive until sometime between now and the time I retire.
Where are you from.
Louisville Kentucky here ordered Sunday got it this morning was shipped from CA.
Its very nice I got the open one.not the fully covered model.
Was not expecting it till mid next week.
i am using Leather Folio Case Cover for Acer Iconia. But i got it from rooCASE while back, for like 25$. And now its on sale from VIPERTEK.
Any way, the case is really good and has a really nice look and feel. Being able to use it at any angle is really nice. The only time i have an issue with it is, when you fold the front cover back and have it laying on table the speaker tend to get hindered. Causing music to sound abit different... But thats not an issue if you have headphone on .
Got mine in yesterday, and love it. Got the full covered one. All the ports are easily accessible. The sd slot is a bit tricky to get to while in the case, but let's face it, how often will I need to do that.
Just recieved mine today. Absoluely love it! Much better than i expected for 10 bucks lol.
Nice perfect. Been holding off on a case thanks OP

Nice case. better than I expected for$ 5 bucks. Get this, received a note from seller that if I submit a product review (didn't have to be a good one but it was), they would refund my purchase price, which they did.
Only complaint might be (a bit of a nit-pic here) when you have it in landscape view and have it angled up, it slips due to the dock port not getting a good grab on the groves.
Either way, a net price of $5 for an item that replaced the BB case is a good purchase. it has a sleek profile, gives easy access to all ports and protectd the Iconia.
Mine seems to hold fine in landscape angled view. When I am playing the SNES emulators and not pushing it to my TV, I have it in the case all the time without issues.
Just noticed they have dropped their price to £369

Thanks
Cheers!
I just rang them and will get a further reduction. I've had one return, and 2 price matches
In all I've had 110 GB Pounds back off John Lewis since I bought it a month or so ago. Not bad for 2 years gurantee.
I just got mine on Saturday (replaced on Sunday) would I be able to get the price match?

Yeah call them up when you get a chance and they will refund you £30 - I haven't done this personally as I didn't buy from JL but people on this forum got refunds when JL dropped price from £450 to £400 and @bu11d0g is saying he has got price match refund from the initial £480 price.
Thank you. I received the tablet under complex circumstances anyway. I actually didn't know I'd receive it since I got a cancellation email and was waiting for the refund from paypal (still waiting) to buy one again. I was initially going to wait, but then I got an email saying my tablet was being dispatched and effectively got charged for this tablet and right now my bank account looks like I've bought the tablet twice. I figured since it was too late to cancel and it would be arriving anyway I decided to keep it. I kind of regret it now lol but I do hope I'll be able to price match with them. Thank you for bringing this to my attention by the way!
White is all sold out online, but call your local store and you might be lucky. They will put it aside for you. My local JL had 3 white only left.
Okay I was told to do a price match form so hopefully they'll get back to me. If not I guess I'll call them up again.

Thanks for this info, otherwise I wouldnt have bothered walking into the store where they had loads in stock so bought a white one ... however the assistant first brought out a box with one seal broken (can't say for sure if she knew or not but I will give benefit of the doubt) but when I told her about it she seemed a tad shocked and got me another straightaway. Don't get why samsung don't just have that plastic film like on ipads or other devices as it would be plainly visable if it had been opened/tampered with. Oh well i have mine now so all is well :good:.

Thanks for that infomation, I filled out there online price match form last night, and got a conformation e-mail today telling me they have credited me the £30. Very happy (and somewhat surprised)
Bought mine online from them a couple of weeks ago and picked up in store. Emailed them earlier, reply this evening saying they are crediting my card with the £30 refund... great!
Happy days!
Yay, submitted a price-match claim last night and this morning received an email saying they are refunding £30 :victory:
Got mine today! it kills my tab 3 8.0. The screen is something to behold.
Just wanted to confirm that they've also verified my price match and I should be getting my £30 back. Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention. It makes me feel more relieved that I've made the right decision purchasing this.
I bought mine last week from JL for 399.. just emailed them to see if I can get my 30 quid back too .. my missis wasn't too happy at me when I shown her how much it is now lol

I guess you bought the black version? I can't wait for them to get white back in stock
Ive submitted a price match form, hopefully ill be lucky! loving the tab and this might be time to root it so i can move some games to my SD
Wasn't sure where to put this but since it says 'John Lewis' on the tin I might as well. I got this tab from John lewis so if I were to return it or if it broke within the 2 year warranty with the Knox counter tripped, would they check it or would they just repair/replace it no questions asked. Thanks in advance

Saga Continues
Update:
So I called up my local John Lewis to check the store stock, they tell me they have the Note 10.1 2014 in stock so she says its reserved for you now so come into store and pick it up within 3 days. Me being all excited I head out for JL straight away. I get there, find an assistant...she pops into the back and walks out with a brown wooded box so I get even more excited - on closer inspection its a Tab 3 10.1, I tell her its the wrong one, she apologieses and pops back into the stock room and returns empty handed once again apologising that there is no Note 10.1 left. So that was a wasted journey and go home sad and empty handed.
So try 2...I call up on wednesday and once again I'm told they have stock and its on hold - I repeat many times "Note 2014" and even mension I've already had a wasted trip and she goes " I have personally placed it on the shelf myself", I was catching a domestic flight home and as soon as I land I make the way to the shop and the exact same thing happens, obviously I was a tad annoyed by this stage, I didnt really mind the first time as mistakes happen but twice!
The assistant understood my annoyance and in the end he said whenevever it comes back into stock I will get a £30 discount...so in total the tablet will cost £340...I left tabletless once again but atleast I will get a good deal whenever I do buy it. Patience is a virtue haha.
