Do not buy the acer case!

---

The morons at Acer designed a case that covers up the microphone (if the mic is truly where other posters have said - located between the screen and the bexel on the upper side!

I will make a little hole for it, since still less modding than trying to fit another case to the A500. Silly miss, none the less.

Might want to be sure about things before you make a bold statement about not buying the case. I'm sitting here with my case on, sitting 3 feet from the mic, in a normal voice said a sentence and it picked up every word clearly and I don't' even have the personalized Google voice recognition on.

I like it, the only thing that I really need to modify on the case is that it is extremely tight, and it covers up the micro SD card slot, so I have to cut the case open where the slot is. It's really difficult to push out of the case so I feel like I'm going to break it one of these times to change the SD card. Other than that it's put together very well.

I had a very hard time getting the sdcard in, then out when i realized it needed to be formatted first.. I thought the Nook Color was hard to get in. Thats easy compared to this, but until they make other cases, we dont really have a choice.

PDair has made a case now. Expensive but it looks good on the pictures.

I'm on the hunt for a case or cover, so big thanks for the info. I don't want to drop $120 for the pdair one right now either, so the hunt continues...

The only problem I've had with the Acer case is that the device slowly slides out of the bottom because of the orientation, but it's a terribly easy fix.

Mic and everything else have been fine.

Also, smells bad. I'm bringing it around a lot to try and force the smell out.

Expensive is an understatement... $119?

Give it a few weeks and we will have some Chinese knock-offs that will be better made than the Acer one at half the price.

The Acer case is a nice design; I like the fact that it's thin, tight, with a built-in stand, but it feels like it's made out of some terribly cheap material. I don't expect it to last a long time. A case just like it with better materials and magnetic closure will be a winner for sure.

What was your fix for the sliding? I like the case a lot, but the sliding is a peeve...
