Any case recommendations other than the official one ?

No Hard Cases
I've looked and looked and can find no hard cases. Would love a Gumdrop, or UAG, or Ballistic case. I hope one of them does one soon. Until they do we're just stuck with that silly cover.
I would like to find one too. I use my tablet mostly on job sites, so I would like to see something with a little protection. I have considered the HP one, but there is a surprising lack of pictures showing the details of the case.
I think the note is close in size to the nexus tablet, but I don't know how much modding would have to be done for the camera and such to line up.

I got one of these when they were selling for 99p + 99p postage. It's pretty bulky, and the quality isn't amazing, but can't complain for a pound, and the keyboard works pretty well, and is surprisingly decent - proper action on the keys.
Got an official cover too - which I kind of like, but seemed to get a lot more for my money with the keyboard case!
I purchased this case for my TN7
http://www.ebay.com/itm/181299426359
I have a screen protector but don't really like cases or covers that make thin devices fat so I opted for a case to store the device when it's not in use.
It took a while to get here, probably 2-3 weeks from the UK to southeast US.
It can store my accessories like a microusb OTG cable, a short micro+mini usb cables, screen wipe, 4g hotspot, and all of my sd cards + adapters and usb sticks. I would not recommend any wall chargers with this case, I have a relatively flat usb wallcharger and it is just too thick to go in the case with the tablet inside, to the extent I would worry about pressure against the screen.

I should make this clear though, this is a STORING CASE, not a case for usage. The first time I fastened the corners into the rubber strips one of them ripped. The case is a tough material on the outside, similar to a backpack material - but stiffer. I wouldn't rely on this case for anything other than holding my accessories and keeping my tablet safe in a bag while its not in use. That said, if I happened to drop the device in this case, I would not be afraid at all, it seemed cushioned on the inside and stiff on the outside.
I didn't return it despite a piece of it breaking as soon as I received it, all in all I'd say it was a useful addition just because it holds all my android accessories minus a wall charger.
Targus make a nice hard case for tablets. I am using this > ebay.com/itm/360892754658

Many of us have this one and it works very well. only negatives I have is the camera cutout sometimes can be seen in the camera, adds a shadow slightly, but the tablet can be moved to fix that. And I would have loved to see some storage of some type, like a spot for a spare stylus, or a business card, etc.

HP Slate 7 Extreme Modified Zagg Auto-Fit Case
This is working great for me. I have use of a keyboard and access to the stylus without removing the tablet.
Any body can recommend good case availble in india
I bought a generic Nexus 7 Cover and added a few ports so I could access the charge, HDMI, headphone ports. 1 cutout on the back for the camera too.
It's good for the plane as it also has a stand built in.
No official covers left
Curry's and PC World appear to have sold out of the official cover. I can't find any UK seller with a cover that utilises the slide on the side of the tablet. Anyone else have any luck?

Do you have a link to the particular case you purchased? Also, are the magnets in the right place so that the tablet turns on and off automatically?

I don't have a link sorry. I Australia we have mobile phone kiosks in shopping centres and I just took my tablet in and got the one with the best fit.
The Nexus 7 case fit the best. It was $35 aud
It doesn't have the magnets in it to turn the screen on and off though, which doesn't bother me.

For anyone in the UK, Sainsburys has bluetooth keyboard cases on sale for £20 (regular £30). I was going to order one over the internet from Ebay for about that same price, but last week I just happened to walk into the local Sainsburys and noticed them for sale. It says for 6"-8" tablets and is black faux leather finish. The bluetooth keyboard can be removed as it is held in place with magnets. The tablet is held with four corner clips attached by elastic strips.
It works great with the Tegra note.
Oh, here's the link to it online. No sale price, so it might just be in-store or select stores where it's on sale:
*sigh* Seems I can't post an actual working link.

I got it today and very pleased with it. Very nice for everyday use mostly as a phone. I can still type short messages and browse, but for heavy typing I am taking it off and using Krusell horisontic case.

Did you notice how the buttons don't quite line up correctly? I had to 'modify' my case and enlarge some of the holes to make the buttons easier to press.

I decided to order another type of krusell case, because of two things with this plastic/leather case you bought.
1. It´s hard to press the buttons and use the screen properly without taking it out of the case.
2. The plastic will get dirty quite easily.
3. The attention drawn to the device, as it is widely open is not wanted.
Risk of getting it stolen is multiplied by many.
So i bought this one instead:

I too bought this one & am very happy with it. The clip on flap that covers/protects the camera lens is genious!
Good job Krusell
Yeah, krusell shure know how to make highquality and wellthoughtthru leather cases!
That´s swedish quality all thru :wink:
does anyone know where to buy the Classic Multidapty i have a credit card so buying from another country wont be a problem any ideas or sites? :wink: :wink: :wink:

hi, sorry if there are any confusing
that message is meant for skenliv
and that krusell case (flip with clip) does come with the phone.
i don't know about imate, but O2 ones does have it included
Does it have the Krusell sign on the front?.. If not, it´s the standard case that comes with every XDA II Phone. And it is REALLY bulky and missfitting. This one is alot smaller in size, alot better quality and the flip is not down (as with the suplied case) but on the Krusell its down.
What do you think of this one,
plastic made but nice
i guess it s a better protection plastic is harder and anti choc
can be find here :
http://www.javoedge.com/simtrix/pro...Id=169&productRef=PSKN-71112-00&category=SKIN
Nice, good idea.
But it´s not very well protected, what about the screen?
The most important part of the XDA II.
They should have some protection for it to.
And you cant holster it on your belt, because there is no beltclip.
And besides, it has the same problem as the case at the top of this thread.
It gets attention, and will probably be stolen easily.
(especially where i live, to many rich people).
Cyberbob.
Does the plastic cover have a screen protector with it??!

no, it does say krusell on it, it say O2 on it
but it's exactly the same case
Yes it has a plastic protection for the screen thin enough to use it with the stylet.
I didn't want a transformers style carkit for my Kaiser so I bought a magnet off ebay for a PDA - the Krusell one for £4, it comes with a thin metal plate you attach to the back of your kaiser and the magnet you attach to your dash. Well, it takes a lot to impress me and I must say it looks the business, also means you can have the Kaiser where you want it and not cradled low down. By chance I had my Tomtom Go wired in the dash from the cig adaptor and it's the same fitting, so a bit of re-routing and I have a carkit for £4 and 10 minutes of my time....priceless.
I'll post some pics when it's light ok.
Thank you for sharing, also will you please post the eBay auction you bought it from?
thanks
dont forget the pics. I think that might be a simple way of using the phone in the car
Here's a similar item on ebay - item no 160199677279
Total price incl postage is £5.50 (it's a UK item) - the full description is KRUSELL QUICKMOUNTER MAGNET MAGNETIC PHONE HOLDER
Pics soon ok.
They also sell this at sfplanet here in the States. Bought all my Krussel stuff from them and they ship fast and are not too expensive. Think this is what he's talking about...

Looks real good and for a great price even with Canada shipping 15.00 CAD beats all the rest, just got one thank you
Can someone find a pic or maybe even take a pic of what this looks like when it's attached to the phone? As I've said in a previous post, I'm pretty leery of gluing anything to my baby. Maybe when I get my Seidio kit I'll stick one on that.
It's gonna take some convincing though.

Just for info...
Be aware that the sliding keyboard uses a magnetic detector to operate and if you suffer strange turn-ons (take a cold shower! ) you made need to use S2U2 or Kaiser Tweaks to disable it.
Same goes for some cases that have magnetic catches, they can sometimes turn your phone on inside the case when inserting.
OK, as promised:-
Krusell magnet on dash:-

I don't actually own one of these, so I cannot tell you for sure, but from everything I have read and understand, nothing actually attaches to the back of the phone. The powerful magnet attaches to your dash and then just holds your phone there through magnetic attraction to the battery through the plastic cover.

As long as there are no issues with keyboard sensor (sliding sensor), I would be all over this. I like the clean look.

prob is that you cannot tilt your phone in any way with this...
i gotta say it is a nice solution if you have a spot on your dash that is a good angle for your phone... i dont though so i have to get a mount with an actuating arm.
Haven't got a pic of the back sorry, with the krusell kit you get a very thin (1mm) plate which you apply to the back case of the Kaiser. This acts as the bond to the magnet. The instructions say you can place this plate inside your battery cover but their isn't enough clearance on the kaiser - it's hardly noticeable anyway.
I've been using mine now for 3 weeks and no problems, the magnet holds fantastic, the kaiser never falls off or moves when mounted. Best carkit I ever had.
Man, I'd love to see a picture of the back of the Kaiser with the plate on it.

Portable Fold-Up Stand for Motorola Xoom Tablet

This looks to be a handy portable stand. The Xoom and the Acer are very close in depth (12.9mm vs 13mm) so I suspect it should work with out modification. A lot less expensive than the dock and available today !

I bought this based on your post. It looks EXACTLY like the acer store version and it better be. I'll let everyone know. This is a great purchase if it's on the money.
I've got one of these on order: http://padpivot.com/ I ordered it when it was first on Kickstarter so not sure when they'll be on general release.
Looks nice!
I went round the corner to maplin and asked did they have any spare stands they use for their tablets, they gave me one lol
Let me know if anyone else has any luck...
I did try the actual Xoom's protective case. Unfortunately, it does not fit. The Acer is wider by about 1/2 inch. I had to return the case and order the one now offered at Staples for the Acer. Just an FYI if anyone is curious

I have held the Xoom and Acer side-by-side. The size is actually quite different in both length and width. The Xoom is smaller on both counts.
However, the iPad is wider than the Iconia, and the Iconia 20mm longer than the iPad. I have found that the Iconia will fit in some iPad sleeves. Provided there is a bit of 'give' in the iPad sleeve's length.
Anything that is purpose built for another device though (with specific dimensions in mind) is hard to adapt.
Also, 10" netbook sleeves and cases have proven to be quite good with the Iconia as well. Often there is a little wiggle room which is handy for cables and chargers.

Received it today and it works great with the Acer. I have it setup on my desk slightly tilted back and the tablet is much easier to see and use. It's very adjustable and very stable.
Also got a DAGi stylus to use with it (see picture). It works much better than a rubber tipped one and is much more accurate. Also, no fingerprints !. But it's something else to carry around.
I just picked it up from Staples and so far so good. It does what it says although it doesn't seem like there is a way to keep the front cover flap secured to the back when in use. I'm not sure that I care all that much about it though. Otherwise seems like a good deal for the money.
PS. It seems to be the official ACER case.
hmmm. sort of ugly.
Got the dock from Acer. Wanted to throw a few pics down as well as a review.
In your review... you state: "you can NOT dock the tab with the case on".
Are you referring to the Acer case? I was thinking maybe it was thin enough that it might allow docking? Thanks!!

Yeah, definitely unfortunate! I haven't tried taking it out of the case, but it was a bit of bother getting it in. Very tight fit. Wouldn't want to wrestle it in and out on a daily basis.

Hi. I ordered a bumper from an eBay seller. It's arrived and for some reason I think it's a fake. It arrived in an envelope, and feels quite plastic. Is there any real way to determine if it's real or fake? The sellers image was the standard bumper image from the play store but that's pretty much the only picture of the bumper online.

I got mine from the Google Play Store, it looks exactly like yours, yours is an original bumper, not a fake one.
I doesn't look right to me. Especially the usb cutout. Your last picture looks much more sloppy than mine.
If it didn't come in google packaging then it is probably from the same factory as the official ones but not a genuine google case as such
looks legit
compared it to mine (which i don't use) and it looks identical except for the shot of it upside down with the usb side looking frayed. was it used? it's just too wide for me but i like the fact that you can see the back of the device. for now its diztronic tpu for me. how much did you pay?
I paid too much as it was ordered about 2 weeks ago, before anything about the play store ones coming back in to stock was known

it's fake. the replica's have been floating around for the past few weeks and if you ordered it on ebay and the listing didn't state 100% original LG bumper then huge chance its a replica. who cares tho? unless you overpaid of course.

Yeah, I got mine from the playstore and the usb cutout looks different. It's a bigger cutout on yours, mine has a small lip. It would actually make more sense the way yours is cutout though, mine rubs against anything I plug in.
Your usb port looks different than mine.
I think it's safe to assume any bumper outside the play store is fake...
It is real, it matches my official bumper.
Can someone with one from the play store upload a pic of the USB?
Mine is from eBay, however it came unopened in a Google Play box, and looks exactly like that.
Pull the hard plastic ring away from the rubber and see what color it is on the inside. People on the replica pre-order thread are reporting that the fakes are white plastic on the inside and the real ones are grey or black.

Kind of an old thread, but I recently bought a bumper from someone off craigslist before I realized there were fakes out there. However, I think I got lucky. My usb port also looks different with a bigger lip as others have described and I can also confirm that the interior of my plastic is gray. I also noticed after I took off the metallic plastic that the LG logo and some model number info are molded into the black TPU portion of the bumper. Can anyone confirm whether or not the fakes have the LG logo molded in the TPU. I imagine they don't but you never know.
thanks for any help. I would love to know if mine is fake or not. I won't do anything about as it isn't worth the time or money but would be interesting to know if someone went to such efforts to scam me for a few bucks (I only paid 20 and it was supposedly new although the seal at the top of the box had most certainly been opened, which he claimed was only to test it).

I can confirm that there is a LG logo molded into the TPU in the original bumper and I highly doubt any scammers would be that careful to make some the markings.

Thanks for confirming. That's what I figured too.

You have seen one personally or is there a picture of it somewhere to see exactly what was printed?
I was searching for a case on aliexpress and came across a listing for a tpu case for the Huawei Ascend XT. The picture shows a different Huawei phone and the camera cutout is wrong so I messaged the seller and he says the pictures show a different case for a different Huawei phone but he guarantees that the listing is for Ascend XT.
I'd just placed an order. It's only $3.98. Looks like it will take about a month for it to arrive. I will report back when case arrives.
Also, I saw a tempered glass screen protector on Amazon but the cutout on the top looks like it's reversed. Also contacted the seller about this.
beware of seller EZGUARDZ for tempered glass protector. He posted a fake tracking number and never shipped. There are a few cheap tpu cases available on ebay, but i prefer something dual layer for better protection.

Agree so working on it by using cases from other phones. Slight modification needed and I will keep xda posted. We need protective cases and there are none to date.

Returned my unused $20 case to Walmart and waiting for a case from AliExpress. The seller has updated some of the pictures to show cut-outs which look like they match our phone.
When we start receiving them, we should post a picture or two and what we think of the case. Thanks .
DUAL LAYER cases are now for pre order! available on ebay ships from california. they dont ship for at least another month but hey.

Nice but again would be nice to have real pics. The cutouts and button arrangement are wrong so those that order hopefully they will receive the right product!
Just noticed that the pictures try to match our phone, but fail in multiple places including LED.

I think they just didn't have one to take pics of. The description even assured that it is for our phone. I might order one Friday and see what happens.
Not related to cases. But the Seek Thermal camera don't work with this phone. No power draw for micro usb charging port
Another case, pricier but nicer. No actual pics once again!

Mine arrived today. Not as a good of protection as the one from Wal-Mart but for less than $4.00, I'm happy. Good fit as well. The tempered glass screen protector is installed on the phone. Pretty good fitment on the screen protector. Maybe too small by 1 or 2mm.
Edit: Just checked aliexpress and some sellers are selling tpu cases for $2.00.

9000RPM,
Thanks for pics and writeup. For $16 difference are you okay with the AliExpress case? It looks good enough for me - got same one coming. Don't think that $2 case is worth it for me - no black available .
@divineBliss,
Yes, overall I am satisfied with the case. It gives you a little bit of protection but I don't think the phone will survive a long drop. The material is thinner and the overlap is a bit smaller than the walmart one.
As seen in the picture, the back pad is of a different material that offers more grip than the borders around it.
Somewhat off topic.
I found a wireless charging pad on Amazon listed for this phone? Does anyone have a charging pad that can just give this a quick try to see if this phone really can charge wirelessly?

Just confirmed for you that it can't charge wirelessly.

Thank you, I figured as much but it still would have been cool to have some unlisted features.
You might be able to find a wireless charging receiver to stick on the back of the phone and into the USB connector, but kinda kludgie for me and don't know how well they work . I don't like wireless charging due to power loss through heat and heat is not good for the phone/battery.
