I thought I would start this thread for people to post about covers and cases that they have found that are either specifically designed for the Iconia, or alternatively generic covers and cases that will fit the device.
A few that I have found include:
Built NY
Generic netbook cases. I have tested the 9"-10" cover and the Iconia fits beautifully. Offers good protection, especially if you're throwing the device in a backpack or bag.
See here
Bizbang
10" netbook sleeves work a treat and there's some funky designs here.
See here
Typo
Typo stores (Australia) stock a generous sized leather iPad cover. I have tested the Iconia in it and it works a treat. No online store though I am afraid.
I am using the Nylon Sling Sleeve originally made for Macbook Air 11".
http://www.goincase.com/products/detail/nylon-sling-sleeve-cl57828
It has a super soft interior - perfect for keeping the screen scratch-free and roomy enough to allow for a gel-case. Also has a couple of exterior pockets for cords, etc.
It is a little pricey though.
For those who need water protection for their tablet.... I got this for my Nook Color with the goal to use with my next tablet (which became my Acer . It was a little big for the Nook, but a good size for the Acer.
http://www.aquapac.net/usastore/water-electronics-large-877-0.html
It works great! Very easy to open and easy to ensure it's closed and sealed. Guaranteed waterproof to 5m. 5-year warranty.
Can someone advise me if the Xoom portfolio case that can also be used as a stand work with the A500? Thanks!

Love the honeycomb patterned tiles in the pics. Brilliant !
wow....
thanks to wake me up...
I din't see ... awesome
PS: made in Provence
I live there
I am using a Duronic 10.2 notebook pouch/sleeve from Amazon UK (link). It is a decent fit although there is some slack in the thickness and height. For £3.25 delivered it is a bargin.
My local Best Buy said they should have cases in by the end of next week. Glad Staples has them online but I think I may wait till they have them in the sotres so dont have to pay shipping.

Buy it online and have them send it to your local store to avoid paying shipping. My total was $43 with tax. It specifically said FREE for shipping and I will pick it up tuesday. Dont chance going all the way to next weekend without a case. These machines are slippery.
Now all I have to do is see if I could ind a promo code tonight. If I order tonight it will be there by Tuesday. Thanks for the heads up silkjones.

Works great. I was out floating around in the pool reading via the Acer today. The issue is trying to read in bright sunlight. I've found it best to read in the shaded area of the pool.

Tried it @ Best Buy; the. a500 is about 1/2" larger on width & height than the Xoom.
While I was there I did get a Targus iPad CityGear Messenger bag; the A500 is a bit too wide to fit into the intended interior sleeve, but the main compartment is just the right size. Now I have a convenient bag for the cables & a keyboard should I get one.

Nice case, but YIKES, 130 bucks...
It looks alot like this case, but this one is "genuine imitation leather" and only 33 bucks :

I think I will wait for the Roocase, it seems like better quality but it is a real bummer to see Ipad 2 cases hovering around $10 to 15 while the TF cases -some looking real crude- going for 40.

The Ebay one is genuine imitation leather as well, or near as makes no difference. Note at the top:
"Type: Leather PU Cases"
Then read this Wikipedia article:
"The use of the term "leather" in relation to this bicast treatment is considered a misrepresentation and therefore not permitted in the United Kingdom and New Zealand. The leather used in the backing of bicast is a thin, otherwise worthless layer, remaining after better quality layers have been removed for traditional leather work and contributes nothing to the look and feel of the end product."
$130 for a third-party, mostly plastic case is frankly insane.
I've been looking around on dealextreme for cheap sleeves for my future nexus 4.
However, I'm currently unable to find any.
Since we know the size of the device, I figured I could get a sleeve for another device with similar size.
Do you guys know any devices that (closely) match the nexus 4 sizes?
Thanks in advance.
Galaxy Nexus or HTC One X are very close.
Try ebay, you'll have more luck than on dealextreme.

I live in the Netherlands though, so free shipping with dealextreme is important for me.
But most leather cases have holes for camera and such, so I'll check out ebay.
I believe he was referring to pouches. The HTC One X is much closer in size to the Nexus 4 than the Galaxy Nexus.

This is the OEM case for the HTC One X/S. The Nexus 4 is around the size of the HOX, so it should work fine. Plus, you don't have to latch anything; it's magnetic. I haven't received mine yet, but it was the best one I saw on eBay.

I need a leather pouch/sleeve/case/whatever you want to call it.
The galaxy nexus is also quite close IMO, those pouches from China always have some room to spare.
Also, these guys from the UK on eBay are asking 4 to 7 pounds for shipping to the Netherlands, should be no more than 2...
The best thing for me would be some Chinese firm selling these things for a few dollars with free shipping, but dealextreme doesn't have that much for these devices.
Found this one, but it's a bit too round on the bottom I think (and a little ugly lol): http://dx.com/p/protective-pu-leath...xus-i9250-galaxy-s3-i9300-black-160736?item=1
I'm getting a custom leather sleeve and credit card holder made by one of my buddies down here. If you guys want I can check with her on pricing to sell to y'all as well. :laugh:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Android-Neo...527854?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item416e20f4ee
This one looks pretty nice, free shipping too.

This one has decent shipping as well, and UK should take less time for me than china, lol.
Hard to choose.
Since the HTC One X is a similar size, I think the pouch thread from that forum is useful.

As much as I want to support local (all of my swimwear are made in USA so I really do), that doesn't look worth $10. The material is thin and there's nothing to stop the phone slipping out from the pouch. $4 to add a pocket? Really?
I understand the designer aspect of this pouch but seriously, I was hoping for more with what they are asking. Maybe some color choices? Ability to print your own graphics on it? Or even customize the shape of the pouch that fits the curve of your phone???...etc..etc... All those for a fee of course, not free.

I am sporting an old sleeve from Galaxy Nexus. It is a little on the tight side but also keeps the phone from sliding out.

You know, the phone is not gonna slip out easily, thanks to the friction between the side of the phone and the sleeve.

However I'm not sure if it looks good on paper or if it's actually a quality case, quite expensive.

Def a quality case. But they aren't shipping until 12/31, well for the non customized ones anyway. And ships from France, so it'll take a while to get to you.
I have purchased a case by Noreve in the past, and while it was good in quality, it is definitely not worth the price I paid for it, along with the fact that they were extremely slow in shipping their product (when I ordered, it took about a month for me to get it - not acceptable). For me, being expensive and slow are two no-no's when selecting a merchant.
Alternatives might be the Nillkin leather cases or the PDAir leather cases.

just sayin'
Not bad, considering that with the options available, they are probably made to order. I would definitely get one for a girl. Don't know about for me personally though. I ordered the niiken flip cover.

I have read the review (in French, sorry), and I just bought one. I chose the Indigo coloured "Ambition" case, which takes up to 14 additional days because it is make by order.
I think you cannot compare a real leather case hand made by an artisan, with a fake leather case made in series in China. I'll tell you my impressions as soon as I get it.

Yeah, I order mine without clip, but I am watching several reviews in YouTuve (for other models, didn't find a review for the nexus 4 one), and all of them are with the clip, so I guess it is either a popular option, or they added the option to not have a clip just in this model.

I understand they have some in stock, and make the others by demand (that's why it takes up to 14 days), so there should be possible to buy it in any colour.
I think I have already seen all the reviews available in YouTube for other mobile phones. If someone find a video review on the nexus 4 model, please post it!
Some written reviews says there is a cut for the front camera, which I guess is a confusion with the logo in the front of the case (what led me to think that that person do not actually have the case with him). Other written reviews says there is a cut for the micro usb, which is clearly false if you look at the pictures... That's why I don't like written reviews so much.

Thanks! Looks amazing!
My case arrived before my phone did, ironically. I've tried it out on a buddies N4 and unsurprisingly, it's amazing, as with all Noreve products. I will post a review later on.
Hello,
I wanted to share a review of the new iPulse Galaxy S9+ Leather Wallet Case. I had one for my S8+ and really loved it. It was the first one that I found that was 100% leather.
It comes in a nice black bag that has a letter in it that explains were they started and currently reside. It is a small family owned company that makes 100% hand crafted leather products. This one is made of Italian leather.
This version now comes with a small magnetic latch that keeps the case closed. The S8+ version did not have that. I really like the latch. It does a great job of keeping it closed.
It can hold your drivers license and credit cards and money. I have had 10 cards in it and money. If you do have all of that in it then it does bulk up some. With the new clasp it really helps to keep it closed.
They said in the letter than a part of every purchase goes to UNICEF. I find that a great cause. If you want to purchase one you can find them on Amazon. Just search for iPulse S9 + case and you will find it.
It is by far the best wallet case that I have found. I will defiantly buy another one when the S10 + comes out next year!!!!
I just received mine as well, and I'm very impressed with the quality. My only wish is that they had a red option like the do on some of their other phones, but I think this will definitely be my daily driver for the foreseeable future.
