The Case Logic sleeve looks excellent.
I've had one of their netbook size sleeves for over 5 years now- and it still looks brand new.

There's a bunch of discussions on cases in the accessories section.

A Question about Cases

I'm normally not one to run out and pick up a device right away, but this one was calling to me. Though I have to admit I'm a little worried is that there seems to be a almost no options as far as cases go. There's the official Acer one, and then there's a +$100 case, but as far as cases built for the A500 that's all I can find. Is that fairly common for a tablet that's been out as long as ours, or is it a sign that ours' will not be very well supported by the accessory makers?
I just bought the crappy Acer one. It's better than nothing. I for one hope otterbox makes one.

yes indeed I have the commuter on my Inspire.
I just posted to the Otterbox facebook wall asking if they planned on making one. Maybe if enough people also posted they might take notice.

[Q] looking for a gel case, am I missing them?

I have been looking for a gel case for my A500. Normally these things are taking up all the space that ebay has to offer but it would appear they have decided not to make them for the A500.
So has anyone seen a gel case around of some sort? Just one that covers the back and around the edges, like they have for every phone in the world.
Thanks for any help!
Seems Acer official accessories list have a TPU case..
Only case i see from acer is
This one
Ya, was hoping to get gel case for my a500 too but in vain... no where to be found anywhere! All I see is ipad case everywhere!
I find it quite funny because on no other device do i like the damn gel cases yet I can find a gel case for everything i have ever seen.... except the A500.
Go go someone home-brew one!
Same here guys, I check ebay daily and have yet to see one. It sucks because they are made for every phone that exists and are usually dirt cheap. Why can't our Acer get any cool cases?
+1 for a gel case. Same experience here that you guys are enjoying. There's gotta be one soon... Right?
Still no news about this?

I have spoken to this site's owner. If you arrive at this site from a link from Google (having searched for something like "Acer Iconia Tab A500 silicone case") you will be directed to one of many pages like this. This company do not do an Iconia Tab gel case!
Well, someone is knocking them out so it can't be long before they appear on ebay:

You're right. You can even manipulate the model name displayed on the page by simply playing with the ending portion of the URL.

And are dust magnets! I prefer TPU over silicone when it comes to "gel" cases.

Finally TPU case is available on ebay

That one seems perfect only the price not..
Yesterday i did 20km on bike and I had to put the phone in my backpack cause I didn't have the Mount :S I'd like to have it in front of me safe so I could watch receive notifications and see the tracking / or speed etc etc
Found a couple more but I am hopping someone posts here actual usage info, what they use what they like etc, one thing I hate is these online purchases you can't hold it t osee yourself before you buy it

That's a good idea! A mount that swivels for dual use. Say one position to be used a bike cam, the other for you to look down at for info. You can even play Ingress since that involves moving around a lot.

does that exist already??
anyone found a new one yet?
no physical stores have any nexus 4 mount here :[
Buy a cheap case, or a car mount clamp thingy. Buy a reflector that mounts on handlebars. Remove reflector. Superglue back of case/clamp/thing to reflector. Attach to bike. Bask in the glory of DIY. Spend the money you saved on your wife/husband/BF/GF/whatever. Did I just get you laid?
Check this one out , I am thinking this one, I have a small pouch for the bike that I attach to the seat for storage of small items like keys etc, I might get this one than store a battery pack in the pouch at the back run a cable to the front keep the Nexus 4 charged

I was going to recommend this one but it looks like someone already beat me to the punch.
For people who are struggling with the security vs. ease-of-use argument, this one is definitely the best of both worlds. +1

What about the this version of the mount? It looks more secure has anyone tried it? I just don't wanna send my n4 into the air and some of the reviews for this mount scare me and this version looks more protective. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009WGFQPW/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1366084711&sr=8-3&pi=SL75

Does the official Samsung Screen Protector impair S-Pen functionality?

Heya everyone,
First off all I would like to say it's great to be here on the XDA forums. I look forward to my time here.
As for this thread, I live in the Netherlands and screen protectors like the Spigel SGP aren't easy to come by if you don't want to pay for absurd shipping costs. So I was wondering if the official Samsung Screen Protectors impair S-Pen functionality. Since its Samsung and the note 8's strongest point is the S-Pen, I would think not. But seeing how I'll have to fork over 25 euros, I just want to be sure. The only alternative to me seems a Belkin screen protector.
I would be grateful if somebody could provide some insight or experience. Thanks!

Welcome to XDA.
I have not tried the Samsung ones but am using just some cheapo "dry apply" ones off Ebay and they do not interfere with the S-Pen. Would think the Samsung ones would be fine as well. Might not slide quite as well but that may actually be a good thing.
Sorry I can't be of more help.
Thank you CC (hope you don't mind me shortening it)!
I feel a lot more confident now. I use the same type of cheap protectors for my phone but for one reason or the other, I just want to invest a bit more in this tablet. It's my first one and I am incredibly happy with it. It's just very powerful and versatile. Once I get the Samsung Protectors I will let you know how they do.
Thanks again for the insights!

I have applied them and after a full day I can say there is no reduction in S-Pen functionality. I can't, however use my finger to write on S-Note anymore, but I actually can't remember if I was able to do it before. Anyway, besides that minor point, everything seems excellent.

This is good information but I can't seem to figure out what this has to do with the topic of this thread? Discussion is about screen protectors not cases.

Like CCallahan says, this thread is indeed not about cases but screen protector. But mistakes can be made ofcourse. As for your problem, I think the magnet might have temporarily tempered with the hardware controlling the screen. Try to stop using the case for a while to see if it works. If it doesn't, send it to Samsung for reparation. This should fall under the warranty if the case is indeed the problem. The case I use is the Belkin Cinema Stripe cover. It's pricey but amazing quality if you ask me. You can check it out here:
