Looking for a case
Hi guys,
I'm a new Vega user and it came supplied with a neoprene sleeve which is fine as a stop gap but I'm now needing something a bit more substantial.
I'm after a case that the vega stays in permanently but it must have 2 key features.
1) Stiff front to protect the screen when the case is closed and the tablet is in my rucksack
2) double up as a stand in landscape mode
Cheaper the better as my budget is tight, so not expecting anything too remarkable.
I've trawled eBay but none I've seen mention both of the above, so I thought I'd ask here for people's opinions on what they have in daily use.
Links to stores in the uk or eBay uk appreciated, but not essential, as long as I know what I'm looking for.
Cheers,
Malty

I would NOT use that eBay seller, personally, for 2 reasons.
Firstly, they describe the case as "leather", when it obviously isn't. If they will lie about that, what else will they lie about?
Secondly, their negative and neutral feedback suggests that they are not especially nice people to deal with.

The best case to meet your 2 criteria would be the official folio case. It offers the protection you require, only problem is it is not the cheapest case. But in the end you get what you pay for. Totally happy with mine, keep the vega in it all the time.

I don't mind paying if it's right.
Can that one be used as a landscape stand? I've seen it mentioned but never seen a picture of it as such.
Cheers,

I saw that pic (I presume the one in your first post) but wasn't sure how it was held in place.
Is the case locked in that position somehow or is it just held by friction on the desktop ?
cheers,

It is held by friction. My case is a little lose, but a friend of mine has one which is a nice snug fit. Mine was not bad enough to warrant the trip back to currys. You could always take your vega with you and try before you buy.
