Never saw one, also looking for one for ages.

I am thinking about making my own, by neatly wrapping the viewpad 7 in Saran Wrap (plastic cling wrap) and then coating it or "dipping" it in something called "plasti dip" found in Home depot, Lowes, etc.... Just need some time to experiment with it...

Continuing the quest to search for a silicone case and/or screen protector - no luck yet, but -

just came across 2 new eBay listings for Viewpad 7 only (not for the 7e, 7x, etc.) - prices are in U.S. dollars:

This is $9.75 with free shipping within US - looks good & has openings for the rear & front camera, very similar to the stock one - maybe just a tiny bit smaller in overall size, good for slipping into a jacket or daypack, etc.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ViewSonic-Vi...item1c2231f2ff

This is pricey at $32.99 + $3.99 for shipping - looks nice, real leather, custom openings & slots, kind of "designer" verison - not sure if anyone wanted to spend that much.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cover-Up-Vie...item27c1d094d1

My stock one is showing some normal wears & tears, playing too much Angry Birds & Mahjong on it lately, but fortunately, the multi-touch screen is holding up nicely as it's well protected when not in use - not a scratch on it, yet.

If anyone plan to get one soon, please post feedback & share - thanks & Happy New Year !

Too bad there are neither soft silicone or hard bumper cases available anywhere for the Viewpad 7, as far as I know (local Viewsonic salespeople didn't know of any either) . The original heavy "book covers" are just too thick to be practical for daily use at the office. I'm a fan of the 7" size, it's almost identical with the larger Moleskine notebooks I favor, and the awful covers just make using the VP7 unbearable.

Being just as slippery as one other Foxconn smartphone with a fruit and a number "4" on it, the VP7 really needs something to prevent it slipping from your grip.
I recently dropped one Viewpad on a tile floor. The screen was neatly cracked from one corner and after having the glass replaced, I would hate to go through the trouble (and the cost) again...

Any help finding a suitable protector would really be appreciated. I'll let you know, too, if I happen to find out something.
