So how do you open it?? The way i open it is by removing the back plate and then opening it. Is there any other way i can do it? The way i have been doing it has been wearing down my back plate and makes it easier to slip off.
Are you up for adding a pulltab to the door?
oh definitely, i was actually thinking about that
tape maybe??

A small tab should be ideal without having to do any heavy modification to the case.

OK managed to snatch one of the only/few tilts available in my area last Friday and now, after a week of use I've noticed I hate the ATT case I bought: The leather, plastic clip, top-loading case, SUCKS!
I work in an ER so speed, quality, ease of use is paramount. My major problem with this case is that 1. I press buttons trying to pull it out and 2. the belt clip is not centered well so when I try to orient it horizontally on my scrubs the opening end tips downward toward the floor.
SO, I've been searching around the forums, looked at a TON of different cases. So far I like the look of this: http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000164&products_id=6562
BUT I don't like the plastic over the keyboard and how annoying is that flap when you're trying to talk on the phone? I don't want to be fiddling with a GD flap while talking. Does the flap flip all the way back on itself?
SO, I need a well-balanced, high quality plastic clip (quick releases are good), that does not have cumbersome flaps (or at least has flaps that fold back on the case/go away when used as a phone).
Thoughts?
Thanks
Does this case work for you?

I received mine this week and am satisfied. There is no hole to access the reset button, but that's a minor issue.

It seems that you can't slide the keyboard out when using this case... am I mistaken?

I don't know about the book-style case, but I have the PDAir flip case, which has the flap hinge at the bottom. On that case, the front flap folds back very nicely. The snap strap on the top that holds the front flap closed doesn't fold back so well, but I've only had the case 2 weeks so it'll probably loosen up a bit over time.

To slide the keyboard, you do need to unsnap the cover and fold it back. The phone can still be left in the case. I rarely use the keyboard, but this could be a major issue for those that do.

Do you have any pics with your phone in it?
Have you had any problems with the belt clip screw coming loose?
I think I need something that protects the screen too... I'll have to think it over...
3WAYGEEK- thank you for the reply- that's exactly the info I was looking for, now I just need to find someone who has the side flap...
Thanks guys

Sorry, I have no pictures. There are images without the phone on the Boxwave site.
There have not been any problems with the clip and screw.
I do use a screen protector, but this case does leave the screen open, a feature I was seeking.
Anyone got any tips for getting a stylus in which the top part has snapped off of out of the magnetic stylus holder on the phone?
I bought some spare ones as I always lose them but upon using these spares I found they all suffer from the same problem, the plastic top and bottoms snap off very easily.
So now I have no stylus, but part of a stlyus stuck inside my phone.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks
If you remove the battery cover you will see 2 sections where you can see the stylus. You use some long thin object and try to wedge it out.
Not on my phone there isn't.
I can see it in 1 place about half way up but the battery doesn't need to be off for that.
I can't think of anyway to get anything that is going to get any grip on it to get it out...
Take the battery cover off, you'll be able to see the stylus in its sheath. Use a bit of sticky tape to grab the stylus and slide it up and out. Hope this helps.
Put some super glue and put the stylus back.
I am very curious.
Use tweezers

I have the Acer official case for the tablet. 2 things i noticed. it was really tight as everyone knows to fit the tab in the case. after a few weeks of taking it out to replace the sd card. or clean out the crap that gets in it (dust, crumbs stuff), the bottom right has torn a little bit. just enough that it does not fit well anymore and slides down as i hold it. any idea on a fix for that? and one more thing. does anyone think replacing the Velcro with small magnets will damage the tablet in any way? thanks
(if this belongs in another sub-forum, sorry, please move)

i ended up cutting a hole out for the sd card door. and i was worried about magnets too, so i ended up using a stronger velcro and it works pretty good. as far as your tear, you might try super glue to repair it, or try sewing it back together? if i think of anythingbetter ill let ya know
hey thanks! yeah my girlfriend left her sewing kit at my house. so i mite just try that. anyone know about magnets? i just wanna be sure because i feel like it would be a lot better then Velcro
My case (non an OEM case made by Navitech) has a small magnets at two corner that hold it closed. They aren't very strong, but they are strong enough to hold the case closed and I have never experienced any problems because of them.
i bought the 9$ gizmogeeks hardcase from amazon and I love it. Even has a net storage area for cables on the inside

i only have one sd card at the moment. and im passing at between my droid, atrix, and this tab. i just ordered 2 32gb cards for the tab and atrix. does anyone think that it would be harmful to use 2 semi strong magnets right in place of the cheap Velcro? i have the magnets. but i dont know if it will affect the mic, or god knows what else is in there.
I used some 3M command double sided tape to deal with the sliding issue. It isn't too sticky, and the pull to remove with no residue makes it a non issue for getting it out of the case and off the tablet when needed.
I have multiple msdhc cards, with a 32 in both my phone and tablet, so I don't often need to switch out cards.
I'd recommend cutting a hole out in the case for it. No, wait, I'd recommend something else...
Not using micro SD cards interchangeably. I'm baffled when I read review after review of tablet or phone where the auther comments on how the SD card is buried beneath the battery or the cover for the card slot is awful and will break if used too much. Of course they are like that...SD cards are not meant to be interchangeable. If you really are moving lots of data back and forth, such as watching a ton of movies, fine, stock your tablet with a large card, but use the port that's actually meant for interchangeability: your USB port. Plus, it's much cheaper for a high capacity USB drive than it is an SD card.
And to actually answer your question, weak magnets should be okay, but it really depends on where some of the parts are inside the unit. Try looking around for other cases that are meant for the Acer and see where they put the magnets.

Would you mind putting up a picture or two?
i bought the targus leather case/stand for mine. It's $30 from best buy, but it has 3 angles for the stand and seems well built.I'd always recommend it against the official case.
okay, so first i tried superglue on the case. as soon as i slid the tablet in, it ripped open again, so that's a no go. i was going to sew it but worried that would just make it weaker or tear worse. so i used the 3m tape idea because i happen to have it laying around. works great! so thanks ... still trying to decide what to do about the crappy Velcro. :/

Actually, the mic points toward the back of the unit, not the front. Looking at it from the front though, the mic would be a little left of center according to the measurements. So, with that info in hand, looking at that location on the back of the Acer case, there are three little holes, right where the mic is at.
I call mystery solved!
under some very close inspection i found a small opening in between the glass and the top bezel that is right behind the mic, not sure if that's what it is for, but it makes sense to me.
Has anyone tried this case? TPDGear FreezeFrame

Looks nice. Just wandering how the plastic clips hold up..
I got one for my Iconia this week. The clips look sturdy and fit pretty tightly. My only beef with the case is that the top clip blocks part of the microSD bay.
oh no.. what a design flaw.. might have to get an exacto knife to it..

not sure if it matters anyway. the SD door opens backwards into the back cover of the case so it would have been at least partially if not fully blocked anyway even if there was access. so theoretically, all folio type cases have this issue to some extent. so if you had a folio with the weird elastic bands on corners holding it then i guess you could access the SD by stretching it out a bit but i prefer the security that the frame provides.
Just wondering if there is any way to disable the "wake on magnet" feature?
The case I bought is a portfolio/book cover type, and when I fold the cover around to the back of the tablet, to read in portrait mode, the magnet in the cover shuts off my screen, through the back of the tablet.
So, any way to get rid of this "feature"?
Thanks

I'm sorry but I don't think it is possible to disable the magnet sensor. It's kind of like disabling a Graphics Card. It isn't really possible with an app without modifying the whole settings in the operating system. But I will say that it is weird having the magnet affect the sensor even though it is in the back? I really don't know about this. If I have an idea to help you for this I would tell you.
What is the name of your cover and when and where did you purchase it? This is a manufactures defect and they should replace your cover. This was very common when the "smart" covers first came out for the N7.
Of course you always have the opition of removing the magnet from the cover.

Maybe worth experimenting with aluminium foil to start with although that is not ferrous. Otherwise run around with a magnet looking for somthing to cut out thin shim

Same issue for me. I cut a steel shim from a simple pin button (circle badge). This pins are everywhere and they are made of steel. Works perfectly.
