I'm just curious as to how everyone travels/totes around their A500? I'm currently using the official Acer case without a screen protector (I believe the A500 has gorilla glass?). I see quite a few people with iPad2's that don't use any sort of case and I was just wondering how everyone travels with the A500 seeing that it is much heavier and larger than an iPad already without a case.
I just slap it in my bag and whip it out whenever I'm bored.
No, I don't use any screen protectors or cases or such.
I use a screen protector and a leather case which I brought from e-bay.
Also use a back pack to carry my ACER A500 and a portable 3g MiFi router.
At home I don't use a case but when traveling I put it in a TPD case like this one:

When it goes into luggage I have this holder:

Mines always in its Crown folio case that I got from Amazon; Sometimes I'll take it out and about with me in just that but most of the time I also put it in a Targus netbook case that also has a Bluetooth mouse and a HP TouchPad Bluetooth keyboard in it (everything fits in easily and Snugly).
The netbook case makes it really easy to to carry my Iconia around, I just put the strap over my shoulder and around my neck and use it like a little backpack, once its on I hardly even notice the weight.

I snagged a Belkin case at Target on some super close-out deal. All cameras, mics, ports, buttons, etc are accessible, and it has multiple options for propping up to a good viewable angle. Sure, it adds to the thickness of the tablet, but when you're out and about, it's awesome to have an extra modicum of protection. I'm always VERY careful of electronic devices, but accidents happen. 2 weeks after my purchase, I dropped my A500 onto a parking lot. No damage, no issues, etc. So, it paid for itself and any inconvenience right there.
Hope this isn't off limits to us a501 users.
I use a custom made leather case/wrap for mine. I worried about it at -30c, as I often have to wait for the transport, but it's pretty sturdy. Always starts up with no issues.
Every week or so, I wipe the display with the supplied cloth.
here ya go. best option in my opinion... and i use a netbook shoulder bag to carry

At home I like to show off the tablets beauty so I use a silver metal tripod stand, but for travel I use a fully covered leather case, and I always have my screen protector on since the day I got it, to keep it scratch free for a long time to come. I spoil this baby.
I don't have a proper case or screen protector, but my A500 is still in pristine condition. I travel all the time with my tab in a neoprene sleeve (similar to this one) shoved into my well padded laptop backpack. My bluetooth keyboard has its own case which doubles as a stand, and my bluetooth mouse also has its own neoprene case. Simple and effective
I have to say again, the cases that double as a multi-position stand REALLY make a tablet experience a pleasure. On a desk at work, or even lying on a couch, set the thing at a good viewing angle and you're good to go.
I have a TPU case that I leave on mine at all times. No screen protector of any sort, I tried a couple and they seemed to degrade the viewing quality. When I'm out and about I carry it all in a Timbuk2 netbook messenger. I think it was actually for an IPad 2, but I cut out the sleeve and altered it to fit my Acer and then sewed it back in the bag. Pretty much water-proof and I can throw it over my shoulder and take it with me when I'm on my bike.
I have the official Acer case with a few added pieces of velcro.
As far as the screen being gorilla glass, I have a scratch on mine, about 3/4 inch long on the bottom left, so they're not impervious to scratches.

The scratch sucks .. There are buffing compounds that might help get that out if its not to deep..
Lucky for my i have a skinomi screen protector on my tablet.. been on it since a week or two after i bought the thing. week before last dumb ass me scratched the protector about 3 inches long right near the center of the screen. I was so worried it had scratched the screen but could tell it did not go thru. So i went to manufacture website printed filled out and faxed a one page simple form to the manufacturer. Got email back from then the following morning with a tracking number. It came with a shipping label to ship the damaged protector back.. So im all happy again..
Back on topic . i have a very thin pinkish red case that i keep my Iconia in. it give not much protection but still lets me put the tablet in not so super large Purse. I Use it quite alot waiting in doctor offices and so on. I have had about 175 doctor visits in the last year. including the physical therapy.Pre and surgery visits (THOSE SUCK). so my tablet has been a awesome device to keep my sanity while waiting .Thou they do not allow it in MRI Machine.. grrrrrr how lame is that. its boring in that tunnel. I love my tablet to say the least.
My A500 has the standard Acer synthetic case but no screen protector. When I go out and about, it's protected by an 11' carry bag.
The only gripe I have is that I sometimes carry the AC adapter with an extension cable in a separate bag.
Acer take note: I hope the next model has a decent length cable for the AC adapter.

Hi Guys,
I ordered one of these and it arrived this morning, A500 fits in snug as a bug in a rug!
Quality is really impressive, and all the cut out slots for ports are in the right place.

£14.99 So I think is the cheapest fitted case around? Thought I would share for all!
Dan
Could you post a couple of pics? I was thinking of getting this, but the two photos they have of it on amazon don't seem to be of the same case. Also it looks like they flipped the second one cause the back camemra is on the wrong side.
Edit:
Actualy after comparing the front shot is of the PDair BX2 and the back shot is of the PDair BX1 that has been flipped and had the PDair logo Photoshopped out.

Hi there...
I have this case as well.
No. You'd have to remove the unit from the case to access the micro sd card.
the other thing that is not great about the case (which I'm going to modify) is that the leather around the bezel actually covers the edge of the screen, not just the border...it's a little smaller than I'd like. Why?
If you use the stock Android Browser, there is a great feature - Quick Controls - that allow you to slide your finger from off the screen onto the screen and bring up browser coltrols exactly where you need them. SUPER trick and very easy...
..and this case does not allow you to use this feature...
So, yeah. Modifications coming. When done I will post pics...Hopefully by the time I buy the perfect follow up case, they have thought of these things...
got mine today, shipping only took 1 week
Nicely built. Split keyboard still easy to use. Looks very smart.
It does allow the tablet to
slide down a little so the rfcamera gets covered up, bot a little surgery will fix that. If you use it upsidedown,
it doesnt slide down enuf to over the camera or the keys at thr screen bottom.

so...which one of the two different photo is????
Navitech case review
After having this case for over a week, I'm noticing a few things that are beginning to make me shop for another case...
1) The flap that tucks under the A500 to hold it in place has no real fastener so the more I use it, the more it is loosening up and the more it wants to slide down making the camera useless in the case.
2) The more I use it, the more the cheap leather (or..whatever it is...) is loosening up and is getting a bit..baggy around the screen.
3) I truly wish it had 1/8 of an inch more around the screen area to be able to use the gestures with the stock browser because I LOVE the way they work.
At this point, I'm probably going to start modifying it so it serves it's protection purpose until I get the next case. I am already starting to shop...
If you can live with these issues, by all means go ahead and get one - overall it's not that bad if you are willing to do a few mods to it...But be forewarned. You are getting what you pay for at this price...
try upside down for item one

...and? there's ONE hole in the border / frame of the case that is JUST big enough to see the front camera when it's in the perfect position. If the camera is not lined up with that hole - no workie...
Also, if you put the unit in upside down, not only does the FRONT camera not work, but the camera on the back, the speakers, and the jack for the dock are covered as well. Also no workie...
Also does not address the loosening up of the flap issue..I've only had it a week and ALREADY it's pretty loose and allows the unit to slide Very Easily inside the case...
Ummm...Do you work for Navitech by any chance?
no I dont work for them

the acer branded case also slides a great bit after a short time, but it is a very thin material that provides almost no drop protection.
At least this is leather ....
The case from navitech is half the price of the Acer case and is way better. The Acer case isn't only rubber, but seriously rubbish. I used doublesided tape for the flap of the navitech, the tab doesn't slide anymore
Thanks for the idea

I have had this case for 2 weeks and loving it so far. Great fit.
The flap that holds thetablet snug did get loose as people mentioned. Iused a 2x1 inch piece of industrial velcro to creat a latch. Works like a champ and i can remove the tab when needed.
I've had this case on order from amazon.com (U.S.) and so far although they claim they shipped it June 6 I've seen no sign of it. No tracking info was provided. After contacting them through Amazon, I got a response stating that they had had trouble with shipments to the U.S., and in exchange for refunding my shipping fee they asked I wait another week.
Waiting, but not impressed (with Navitech) so far.
I had a problem with my shipment as well. They've asked me to wait a week longer and they (because the shipment never came) asked if I want a new product or a refund.
I asked for a new product and they sent it today via first class airmail.
It's not their fault that post offices keep losing shipments. Actually we're both unhappy. They had to ship two products instead of one and I had to wait a month for it.
C'est la vie
Well mine finally showed up today. Battered and dirty in a big mailing folder not a box. The case doesn't seem any worse for the trip it had taken, and my A500 is having a nap in it right now.
The flap that tucks under it to hold it in the case is very soft leather and doesn't keep the tablet from slipping a little up or down. Still, this case should be find to carry my A500 out and about in and keep me from worrying about scratching the thing.
Any one found a good over the shoulder bag that plays nice with our tablet and has some free space for cords and such?
I would totally recommend this series Golla G-Bags ,very compact and have good amount of space ( there is a pic with Ipad there so you can get the idea)

I have a extra small sized Timbuk2 messenger bag that works great. I also use a Crumpler brand bag for my DSLR and they also make laptop-style messenger bags as well. For my work laptop, I have a Tumi, and I carry around my tablet with that if I take it to the office. All three companies make high quality products that last forever and are stylish.
This one looks pretty good. I may get it.

I found quite a few that looked good but ended up buying a sleeve instead because I'm always bring my DSLR gear backpack with me and I can stow the tablet accessories in there. However, I would search for "netbook bags" and you'll get endless options to choose from.
I'm still always shocked that there are numerous bag and case options that cost half the price of the sophisticated device you're stowing in it.
I found a Mobil-IT "Ultimate Travel Essentials" Netbook Caddy, at Office Depot that works very well. The only problem is that it may be discontinued now...
I use SMT iPad Micro Bag that I bought for missus iPad but since she doesn't use it I take it for my A500. Fits just fine naked and even with Acer case on I can still zip up though it's bit tight. With long shoulder strap it's pefect to carry over my shoulder and have the zipped pocker as well as open pocket and big pouch on the other side for A4 papers...

not really, most of the bags are very sporty for a lack of a better word with straps and clips and such. i was more looking for a simple bag with velcro or even no really locking flap that will fit the tablet vertically with a single tone bag possibly gray with a movable pad on the strap.

Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App
I pre-ordered mine and got it Friday. It's a really nice, well made case. I don't know that I will ever use the tablet in portrait mode while its attached to it like they show, but the fact that the tablet is removable from the case make its nice. Seems like the zipper is a little tight when trying to close it, but there's a lot of room for error as to where you can place the tablet inside the main case. The tilt stand is top notch, I feel very comfortable leaving the case open on a table with the screen exposed, and the curve cut into the stand itself makes it easy to rest the case on your leg and use the tablet.
It is a very well made case. Very solid and high quality.
This looks promising. Just ordered a tpu case and would like this as another option.

in canada and amazon wont ship here, but i found one here that will http://www.overstock.com/Electronic...0-Executive-Leather-Case/6070886/product.html but before i pull the trigger ive got a couple questions, does the tablet have a closure once its into the internal / removable compartment? IE button, velcro or magnet? or will it just fall out if held upside down wrong? And does the internal compartment have any room in it for the tablet to move inside, even just a little? the reason i ask, is i would like to use a TPU plastic shell around the tablet as an additional layer of protection. And i hope there is enough room for it all to fit, it adds roughly 1 to 2mm of thickness for a total of 3 to 4mm of length if both edges are taken into account. You guys think it would fit?

While I ended up going for a different style of leather case, it looks like RooCase is making the better ones for the a500.
Very good materials and design, as I've stated elsewhere.
I don't think you can go wrong with any of their cases.
Been to Amazon, Newegg, Best Buy, Staples, Target, Office Depot, Office Max and Walmart and am unable to find a reasonably priced case for my tab. Even the expensive ones are crap. The Targus Truss is widely available but too expensive for what it is and really not great at all. I can't remember all the other options I've man-handled in the past 48 hrs. At this point in my frustration, I'm looking for a generic zippered case that has a slightly hardened front and back cover (I realize it's just stiff cardboard). Ideally, I'm looking for black/dark (read not pink,yellow etc.) with edges slightly past the ends of tab. The closure doesn't matter (zippered, magnetic, velcro). There can be a bit of extra room if need be but not so much that the tab rattles around and causes imbalance in bag. A bit of protection from slight bumps or scratches would be nice but not something that can be flung across room. Currently my tab resides in a bubble padded mailing envelope that I can't recall who mailed to my house. Any ideas?
Yea I want a hot pink leather tight fitting.Acer case like but real quality
Gotta love hot pink
same size
Since its the same size of some of the others, how about looking on ebay? Its flooded with some for ones the same size.
I use a soft case that came with a laptop set. Has a Velcro strap in it, and it fits snug into it and enough spots for chargers, pad of paper, pens, etc. I'll try to update this with a pic later.
And its pink...lol
in thailand we do not have accessories...
so far just official case (and not easy to find)
no film protection for screen
have to wait one more month for get the cable very expensive
no spare part at all .... (better buy a new tablet than to repair it seems...)
and if wanna buy from amazon or else... 300% taxes... woOooow
and worst of it... not a lot of choices GENUINE

Kind of a shot in the dark as they don't give dimensions. If I get it, I'll probably cut out the net pocket.
and why?
Because
They are a pain in the ass to put on. Almost always higher friction. Slight dimming factor. And never had problems with scratched screens. So, nope.

Can just say, me too - I hate this little "blows" in this screen protector and folded with de dock there is no danger of scratches, so definitely no reason to put on one and fail
Opted not to use one as I really didn't see a need for one.
I carry mine in a case...
Hmm... Perhaps I'll need one with the silicone sleeve I've been wanting to buy but not sure.

I'm extremely paranoid about scratches. I got a small one and now I use a protector! I am using the armor suit protector its absolutely fantastic!! I barely even feel that it is there I can still use my capacitive stylus.
I am looking to get a skinomi tech in the future to help protect the back from scratches too along with giving it a bit of visual flair
I use the armorsuit, no dimming of screen, durable as heck, there is a little more friction, but worth it. Why do I use it? Because it's easy to put on right the first time because it uses liquid to position. Plus the Decal Girl skin went on over it and is great.

i use a cheap one off ebay and i dont even know ive got it on there
i use the dock and i am super cautious so no screen protector yet
I use armor suit. Easy to put on and lifetime warranty.
Not using any protection at all. just use the tablet for the funtions it is made for and not to put things on it.

nope, i have the dock and a soft case i keep it in either with or without the dock.
main reason is i cant find any in my city in Canada here and i cant be bothered to order online.
If i found a nice one that fits this screen in town id get it probably.
Never had a screen protector on my OG transformer, and I love how naked screen feels, kind of miss it on my gs3 lol
Yes, I have the ZAGG protector for the front and the back. I am happy that it is being protected from scratches, but it is SO much more difficult to apply than a phone because of the size, and I got fingerprints on the adhesive side.
I want to take it off, because there are two permanent bubbles, but since I paid for it, I might as well leave it. I may take it off if/when I get my dock.

Dude if you have a Zagg you have a lifetime warranty..just email them from the support section of their site, tell them that the protector is starting to peel at the edges or it has gone all yellow tinted or something, and they will send you a brand new set under the warranty!

No, because they can never be put on good enough for me, bubbles drive me INSANE, also I hate the friction they add.
I use a matte one to get rid of reflections. Also, it feels more like paper when writing with a stylus.

I use the Poetic CrystalClear and I honestly can't tell its there, sometimes I doubt it myself but I think it is there, maybe? (Perfect touch response, slightly less glares and perfect fit, also was _really_ easy to put on, got it right the first time and took me less than a minute, 0 bubbles left. No need to wait 24h and mess with the wet applied..)
