So I just received my silicone case for my a500. I actually like it way more then the first case which was the official acer made case. It doesn't have the stand capabilities as most others but its simple easy to get on and off and light. It also provides access to all ports but the sd card port. Bought it on amazon.com. through a dealer called sfplanet.com. I don't believe they have it on their main site but its on amazon for 5.99. Check it out if your looking for one.

Darn out of stock
I bought one. It's very cheap right now. It does fit pretty loosley and the material is thin. I don't think it'll provide much protection. I wish more people made silicone cases for the a500 because the leather folio type cases are not my type of thing and I don't want to carry around a bag.
I bought this cover myself. Fits great. The TPU material is awesome. I have a TPU case just like this for Nexus S. One time I went to the gas station and I was talking to someone and left my phone on the hood of my gar. I drove 2 miles to work got into the office and realized OMG I left the phone on my hood. I ran to my car and lo and behold, It was in the exact same place I left it on the hood. That material is super sticky and a phone saver
Hopefully this one works out for me. I hope to get it in the next few days.

I wanted clear, but couldn't find a US seller. Now that I've said that, someone else will probably post a link.
Got the new case on Saturday. Fits great. Transluscent, so the Acer logo is seen through it. Cutouts in all the right spots, except the SD card cover of course. Good grip. Great fit around the bezel, doesn't look "stretched" like a couple others I've seen.

I saw that at the AT&T corporate store, tried it and it fits nice. One thing is that it has a small peice that slips between the slider and the top half and it actualy seperates the 2 parts which I did not like as it looked like it is forcing them apart. Other than that it would have been perfect.

I am pretty sure you did not see this one at an ATT store, as it has not been released yet. I had the Seidio holster for my 8525 and it was AWESOME. I will be getting this holster as soon as they release it.
And yes, if there is something that sits between the slider and the main unit, that would be real bad

I liked the Seidio model and used one for my 8125, but I found it a bit awkward getting it in and out of the holster, especially while seated and a few times I almost dropped it while trying to get it released.
I always thought a release mechanism which worked side to side rather then top to bottom would be easier to manipulate. I'd also like one that could be used with the phone facing in or out.
Looks like a horizontal holster.

hey there everyone, I've already went through two cases in my quest to look for the perfect case. and guess what, I ended up settling with a $10 carbon fiber pattern plastic case. so now I have to get rid of my leather case. it's like this: http://www.amazon.com/Tilt-Designio...sr_5?ie=UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1207201506&sr=8-5 but says "ibo" instead of "boxwave" on the back. I've only used it for a couple days, and decided to not use it anymore because it won't fit in my pants!!! I'll sell it for $18 with free shipping to the continental US... paypal only please
sorry for posting a lot of FS threads, there's nowhere else I can go to sell lightly used Tilt accessories

Unboxed my Xoom today. I can't say I don't like it, but there is one thing that really pissed me off. I paid $800 for it, and I knew very well that the price will soon drop but I still bought it. I thought I would be treated with great surprises. But the moment I opened the box, I found that there's NOTHING wrapping my Xoom. Yes, there's a plastic sheet protecting the screen, but it's covered with fingerprints (and dusts.) I am not even asking for a fancy velvet bag. Just put that damn thing inside a plastic bag, please. It costs Motorola, may be 2 cents?
Oh, and the box's cover wasn't even taped (and it's very loose.) Motorola has a lot to learn when it comes to packaging.
Anyway, this tablet is still by far the best tablet experience one would get for the Android platform.
Agreed.
Fancy light table BTW.
Mine was practically hanging out of the box when I got it.

ahahahh
I was thinking the same
Motorola should've taken down notes from Apple. Apple does pay a great deal of attention to packaging. I love how Apple packages products.
I agree. The day the Xoom launched, I was the first to come in without pre-sale receipt along with another dude who has already preordered online with his receipt, I was exciting but until I saw the Xoom... my face actually dropped when I saw a Verizon representative (inside Best Buy) bringing the Xoom out and it wasn't sealed. I like opening sealed things. What the heck.
I'm with ya.
When I bought my $30,000 car, it didn't have a cover either, pissed me off.
(sorry, couldn't help it, a few goodies in the box always adds to the experience)
I agree with the not taping the box closed, but I take it you've never bought an apple product? They are continually praised for thier packaging which is almost exactly like the Xoom was packaged.
I'm fine with it as the entire thing was wrapped in plastic already if you didn't notice.
Sounds a bit dodgey to me,usually most new mobile phones and tablets have a seal on the box,and on the seal are the words DO NOT ACCEPT IF SEAL IS BROKEN. How do you know someone's not been having a quick play with it and then done a factory reset.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
Sounds like you got someone's sloppy seconds. Either that or the model that the entire sales force for that store was trained on.

Man the HTC Evo package was ****ty. Minimalist, yes, but it looked like a tuppaware box (however you spell it).
I was surprised the Xoom boxes weren't even taped either. And since they had to look at the number on the back of the Xoom Best Buy totally killed the unboxing experience for me.
My gf thought I was a total nerd for thinking about doing an unboxing video, but after the unboxing cherry was popped, there was a TINY bit less of excitement.

You know, I had them ready "prepared" to do some serious cutting to get my Xoom out, but what can I say. I am surprise by the LACK OF THINGS to be unwrapped. The tools were there, instead of wasting all my preparation works, I just put them to use

I've asked around, from what I can tell, this is only partially true. What I know so far is that the Xoom from Costco were all wrapped in plastic (the whole box with Motorola's sticker on the plastic wrap), but those from Best Buy were not. I also checked with someone who work in Best Buy and he told me that they didn't take the wrap out. The Xoom arrived unwrapped.

I know someone who bought one from a BestBuy and there's a picture of a sales clerk in the gallery when he logged into his Xoom.
Consider how "beta-like" Honeycomb is still. I wonder all these unsealed packaging + fingerprints-all-over are results of some last minute firmware upgrade?
Seeing how the Xoom was launched during CES with hardware ready, but only had video of the UI looping without the real software. I believe most Xoom that are currently selling were manufactured around that time. Just sat there waiting for Google to provide the latest firmwares...
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.

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.

I ride my bike with my Nexus 4 strapped on my arm and last week I fell off my bike and the phone flew off my hands because I was texting and riding my bike. My phone has the eBay kickstand rubber and plastic case (I like that it covers the USB and headphone ports) and XOskins rear and front screen protector and my phone survived the fall and tumbling on concrete, only minor tearing of an edge of the screen protector and very minor scuff on the corner of the case. Overall my phone feels pretty safe.

An amazon.com seller had the ballistic case for about $21usd + shipping (it shipped internationally for about $12 If I recall correctly, but now the price is up to about $27 + shipping) The seller that ships internationally was "One Stop Cell Shop". The price from this seller has been fluctuating between about $21 and $27 so you could wait to see if it decreases.
In the mean time.. I have just purchased the ballistic case from www.ioffer.com for about $27 + free international shipping. The seller has 21000 trades and 99% positive feedback. I know that ioffer sells fakes but also has some authentic products. I hope the case is authentic . It says shipping will take 5-10 days, so I will let you all know when (and if ) I receive it. I paid with paypal so I can make a dispute claim if it's not what I ordered.
So.. there are options out there just be careful when ordering and don't blame me if you order it from ioffer and it's fake... I will let you know in a week or 2 when I get it. :victory:
MyBat Tuff Hybrid Case
The MyBat Tuff Hybrid Case is great. I've mentioned this on other threads that I've dropped it from 4.5 feet right on the corner ... no damage.
I've dropped it multiple times since then. The colored version is $8.95 on ebay, the "Beer" version is $9.00. I currently have the black version, the beer version is on it's way.
colored versions
Beer Version
Thanks people,very helpful info
Beer Goggles!
I put my "Beer Version" of the MyBat case on my N4 and it looked great, but ...
When I made a phone call my screen when black and wouldn't come back. A quick check on google and I found that the proximity sensor was partially blocked by the new case. I expanded the opening with my box knife and all is well.
If i can't find the Ballistic case for a good price,i'm definitely getting this one,with the beer print
I got the Ballistic through the Cell guru for around $30 shipped to Australia.
Other than the Otterbox which isn't available for the Nexus, this is the only case I would trust to protect the phone from a drop.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk HD
i have orderer a mybat tuff in black and also the ballistic one... i will compare both and make a review between both of them... they seem to be the best decisions in case of protection...
Any two layered case with a lip will offer good drop protection.
I don't know what case offers the most protection, but the Diztronic model works amazing! Today I was walking out of a store with my hands full not paying attention and all of a sudden I see my phone, falling through the air on its way to the pavement. The distance was about 5ft high. It landed on the top corner (camera side) and the phone is completely intact. The case had a little scuff/dirt mark that just rubbed away. I can't tell you how happy I am to have put this on. I dropped my Nexus S once case-less and the hassle with getting it repaired and such, what a task. To think of all the trouble I saved myself, wow. So very grateful. Much respect to Diztronic.
