I purchased mine on 3/8, i followed the package from china to chicago where it sat for about 4 or 5 days, then it just showed up. I don't think the tracking is very accurate.

I have the orange version.
Doesn't it bother you guys that when the case is folded the felt like material picks up dirt easy? It's so annoying to me. I don't know whether to send it back to China or not...

Seen this one too, looks alright;

top and bottom has a rubbery surface which is quite nice feel to it. provides grip on table surfaces.

doesnt not have magnets on the ends.

the cover doesnt go all the way to the end which exposes the silver boarder which isnt a problem.

all 4 corners fits nicely and doesnt come loose.

thats the hightest angle you can go.

i noticed when i open the cover, the top section of the back does that. might just be mine or some sort of fault. but no biggie.

Overall, i'm happy with my purchase.

This seems to be an interesting choice too. iRoo Ultra Slim case.
This fashionable case also seem to have magnets (how do they work?! :)) and is supposedly high quality.
Sadly it's available only in asia, yay ebay!

Have been through many cases (4) and finally found this one. Perfect fit. Snug and protective. Excellent price. AND.....you need NOT wait a month to ship from China!

Very well crafted IMO.

it is. had my eye on that too BUT, it didnt ship to aus QQ

I was interested too and thought it ridiculous they didn't ship to Oz so emailed the supplier. Jake from ExactDeal replied saying that if I used PayPal then he could invoice directly. Presumably this implies they could ship to Aus.

Hadn't yet followed up as I thought the shipping charge might be exorbitant.

Feel free to make those enquiries and post back your findings. (I bought a different case since but might still be interested).

Cheers

Yoobao

I just got me a Yoobao real leather case for my P6800 and I cant be more satisfied...
It's slim and protects the corners all-around. The tablet slips in and so it can't fall out while the bezel is quite thin... It has two little magnets in the corners so the flap's not opening... And it's real leather... So if you can spend some more money for it ($30-$40), I highly recommend it...

    Noreve Leather Case

    I ordered a Noreve case, but it's going to take a while it seems. Ordered a week and half ago, no idea when it's going to ship. *sniff* They did tell me if I ordered from the Perpetual selection it would ship right away, but I ordered from the Exceptional series.

    Got mine yesterday. It's a bit disappointing, IMHO, as it is quite bulky and the different viewing angles require you to pop the device half way out of the case and then the whole thing slips out (see 4th pic down, and it did, indeed, fall on the floor right after I took the photo). Nice leather, though.

    Here are some pics:

    Hey guys~! After reading your posts on smart screen cover, i discover an app which replicate the same effect using the proximity sensor.

    Go google play and search for SMART SCREEN OFF. Try it out.

    I am not affliate with the app. Just a user & wanna share with other users :)

    That bit expensive one is very nice...am using the oem book cover case, and "meh"...might just have to get it. Will post pics if/when I get it.

    A review with pic would be great :)

    I just bought the 360 rotary case, branded "perfora".
    This is a chinese made case which is rebranded with many names.
    I got it pretty cheap, around $20.

    But overall, i'm a bit dissapointed,

    1. The grooves (there are 2 ) don't hold the tab up very well, this is the most fatal design flaw, because if you type too strong the tab will fall.
    Only the upper horizontal groove that can hold it properly, but if you type the upper part of the tab, it will fall as well


    IMG-20120223-00540.jpg


    2. The worst part is when you put vertically to the upper grooves, it will fall immediately because the angle is > 90 degree, (did they even test this before selling it?)

    3. The hinge for rotation is too loose, i can't hold it with 1 hand comfortably unlike the official case.

    Overall i wouldn't recommend it, fortunately it's not too expensive though.
    I don't know if there's other brand with better design,
    but i suggest you to try it first before buying it.

    There are two apps, the one from James Kim and the AndroidHD one. Which is the one you are recommending?
