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I am using the Nylon Sling Sleeve originally made for Macbook Air 11".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.

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!

wow....
thanks to wake me up...
I din't see ... awesome
PS: made in Provence

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.

if you order it at staples there wont be shipping to pay mine was 39+ tax
I have the Blurex case. Its nice, I have some questions about it posted in another thread. But I have really looked also at the Slim Roocase and The Acase case's pictures posted on Amazon. I guarantee that these are the same cases. I compared the corners, the placement of the holders that hold the tablet in place, the holes for the speakers and camera, and the way the tablet is stood up. People, these are the same case made by the same manufacture, licensed to different companies and stamped with there logo. Its really well made of leather, so if you have to choose, get the cheapest one.
What's the cheapest now?

where can I buy one other than Amazon which won't ship to AU
Still havent found this outside the US, if anyone knows!
Saw the Waterfield SleeveCases in a news article today. Look pretty neat.
I guess I can be a spokesperson for them. I have the EXO Sleeve Case for my *cough* iPad, a Tablet Travel Case for my Galaxy Tab, as well as a sleeve for my Apple BT keyboard and can vouch for all of them. Well made but pricey.
Extremely fast shipping - seems like less than 24 hours after placing an order. And they are very helpful if you have a question. I haven't purchased a sleeve for my Iconia from them yet - but they probably have something that would work for it.
hello can anyone tell where can I find this case on the video shown below
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55yHHNdIAXA&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Jeff - That is the standard Acer case. You can get it from Acer's website, or Best Buy or Staples. If my memory serves me correct it was about $39.00 but by now it could well be less.

According to the video you can get it at hmv.com. They ship internationally. You can also find them at staples. Thinking about getting one myself.
I got mines from acer website

i bought this case when it was the only thing available. Its laying on top the fridge after a week the tablet will not stay in.
TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY.
GET THE one on amazon its cheap and well made.I have the open viper case and ordered the red crown case hoping it comes in by tomorrow's
Yep, what Erica said. I've got the original Acer case and end up holding it upside down otherwise the tablet slowly slips out.
I had that case. It sux. My tablet fell out and smashed the screen up. I now have one from amazon by casecrown. It cost $0.01 plus $4.99 shipping. It is much better, stiffer, and velcros the tablet into place. Here's the link:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0055UDMVE/ref=oh_o02_s00_i00_details
I got this one from the att store, its designed like the one you posted, however its hard leather and supports the tablet very well in any layout.

Finally received the Note 10.1 today and when I opened the Amazon packaging....I noticed the Samsung box wasn't wrapped in plastic...so I go to open it up and notice the white tabs on the bottom have been opened. The Note seemed to be all wrapped still and everything was in the box, but I had visions of someone getting the 16GB and getting a 32 GB and putting the 16GB back in this box and returning it or putting a llemon back in....uuugg. Getting a new replacement one sent out today for tomorrow. Wish me luck this time.
Mine did not have plastic but 2 little stickers one on each side.

Those two stickers were both cut through on mine. I wanted to just say the hell with it and use it anyway, but I thought better of it with the amount of money it cost.
There is another thread / post on this forum where another person reported that the seals were broken when they had it delivered from Amazon and they had a response that this very common where Amazon probably check the devices contents before shipping, ideally they should put their own seals on if this is common practice.
As for the plastic wrapping, I bought mine from Samsung store in the UK and they did not wrap it with plastic, just the two seals.

Interesting. The person I spoke to at Amazon never mentioned this. I'll be interested to see if the next one comes like that as well. I think they should atleast state this in the package contents otherwise how can you not assume that the package was tampered with.

Why is everyone so excited about paying $50 extra for another 16 gb when an sd card costs half that?
And yes, USA RULEZ!

Yeah, one of the seals on mine was broken too. Apparently this is quite common. I just ignored it, it's not like Amazon is secretly sabotaging all their Notes because that wouldn't exactly be good business for them.
If it was available I would've gone with the 64GB version because mobile games are so huge these days at up to 1.7GB from what I've seen so far.

So take the same 50 bucks and toss in a 32 GB sdcard. I still don't get it.

I got mine this weekend from Best Buy and found out when I got home that the seals where broken.. Took it back the next day for one that had seals intact.

Lol If Putin has his way, we might end being that. The ole' Russian Bear is on the prowl again, and strong.
I got my 32 GB Model from Amazon yesterday, and both seals were intact.
Hope I'm that lucky with mine from Amazon.

Mine, delivered today, had a similarly looking cuts but on the closer inspection I think the box just got banged up while getting to me. So, I think the box cover must move a bit breaking the seals eventually. Inspecting it closely I could tell they didn't 100% break and parts were actually intact. Pics with the intact areas circled attached. HTH.
Mine arrived from Amazon in a ****ty for book box so not a lot of buffer around it and with one of the seals broken but the content was obviously new.
My seals were unbroken, but I could see that the buffeting around in the shipping box had weakened them.
Bought mine in a little shop here in Vienna: BOTH seals unbroken
My wife then bought another one for herself then the next day in the SAME shop: ONE seal was broken, ONE INTACT.
I tried to open the box keeping the unbroken seal intact: not possible
Explanation from shop: seals sometimes break during transport (they were looking through 7 devices, mostly seals were intact but 2 had one seal broken, 1 both.
Methinks: nothing to worry about, seals are of paper and not plastic foil thus might rip during transport

Mine came yesterday in an Amazon box with NO padding at all. The Samsung box was rattling around in there. But the seals were intact. The Tablet seems fine, but will be complaining to Amazon about the packaging. A $550 item needs more "respect" than that!

Was it fulfilled by Amazon (either sold directly by Amazon, or sold by a third party but fulfilled by Amazon), or did it ship from a third party? I have NEVER had anything fulfilled by Amazon come without padding.
