I like to use a neoprene sleeve (or something similar) for traveling with a tablet. Has anybody found one that fits well? Most of the ones I've found are either too big or possibly a little too small. Seems like one designed for an e-reader might work.
Neoprene sleeve
- Thread starter woody1
- Start date
I bought for my G Pad a 8" Yarvik sleeve, but as almost every 8" tablet, the Yarvik sleeve is designed for those squarer 8" (our G Pad is more like a rectangle). So in for height the G Pad fits great, but in width there is a lot of empty place, so the tablet inside is moving to the sides. Still better than nothing though...

No Neoprene but fits perfect

Samsung 7-8" Pouch Stand
It's not a sleeve pocuh, but I love its functionality and cost (in Spain 10-15€). It's available in 3 colors, I have grey and lime, for my Galaxy Tab 7.7 and for my G-Pad 8.3. The Galaxy Tab 7.7 fits perfectly, but the LG is a bit taller than pouch, about 5mm. It fits very good, but maybe the top of the tablet exceed over the pouch.
I recommend you the pouch because its functionality, the size is not a real problem for me.

I ordered that one. Hope to get it on Monday. It looks good. I also ordered an IVSO one, but won't get it for a couple of weeks. I'll have to see which one I like better.
I bought this one and it arrived today. Big disappointment. It's very tight and it's hard to get the tablet in and out. It's pretty much useless as a stand, and the flap does not close when the device is in the case. I put in a return request already.
Here are a couple that I am looking at.
This one kind of looks good but concerned it may be too big / bulky.

This one appears to be more of a pouch / case to accommodate accessories along with the tablet. Nice but pricey. Still tempted though

This last one is actually designed for the Mac Wireless keyboard. I actually own one of these and the G Pad fits perfect width wise, but the sock is too tall / long by about 2 1/2 inches. It can be folded in if desired. It's nice material and soft. Still a little pricey in comparison to the first one.

Tough deciding. May go with the last one if I can convince my daughter to shorten it and sew the end back up for me.

I've got this one: <amazondedomain>/gp/product/B008H3MOY2/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Though maybe only available in germany and not made of neoprene but some fabric (which I like much more, btw). Fits rather tight in length and has 1-2cm space in width, i.e. seems to be meant for some 7" tablets.
Sorry for the missing amazon.de domain... my first post and i'm not allowed to specify external links...?

i just ordered this one as i was looking for a leather sleeve, not a neoprene as they are too stretchy. i will let you know how it fits when it arrives but i believe it is custom fit for the g pad.

Neoprene cover
I bought the one above a year ago for my N7.
I'm now using it for my G pad. The fit is perfect. Be aware that it is quite bulky, but it's great quality and even has an extra pocket for accessories.

I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts about it when you receive it. I've been looking at it too but have yet to find any other seller selling it. I can't order from this one because they don't ship to Sweden.
Haha that is a first!
We have something you don't in the US!
It's a bit shocking how limited the accessories are for the gpad. With luck my new VOIA jelly case will be here from the US by the end of the month. That's only 6 weeks........
I'll have a look on the US Amazon site and see if I can spot it for you as I'm sure it's a rebadged generic case, even if it's very nicely made.

Thanks for being on the lookout for it. I have a neoprene case now, but it's too big. I'd like to get one that fits better, like this one.
I have this one and it is a perfect fit.I order it on 12/22 and received it on 01/02.

Ok, like I hoped. Thanks. Convinced another seller to import two of them and send them to me. The only seller listing them does not ship to Sweden.

3Greatshield Fit w/ G Pad
I can 100% assure the G Pad fits into this Greatshield without a case, because it's all I used for a case after trading in my Samsung Tab 3 8.0 for this LG G Pad 8.3. With a case on the G Pad however, no go. No lie tho - the sleeve is so nice that it's worth ditching the case from time to time -- especially if I'm traveling somewhere and need to know its safe from drops or hits.1http://www.ebay.com/itm/16117221584...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2648

I had a good look on US Amazon but I had no luck.
I spotted this one which looks like it's made from the same material as mine.
I quite like the look of it. Had you seen this one?
