Sony Tablet S Carrying Case

---

Amazon has this for $80, Best buy for $100. Seems super pricy for a carrying case. Anyone have one?

I want one, but none was in stock when i picked up my Tablet, so im using a HP Tablet case, works, its a bit big for the S Tab though. Im hoping they will make a cover like for the Acer, that the front folds around the back and stays on the Tablet all the time, instead of just a carrying case.

I ordered the Targus Leather Slipcase for $40. I saw an unboxing for the Sony one, but was turned off by the velcro at that price point. I prefer a magnetic closure.

Don't want a traditional cover as I want to handle the device naked with its unique form factor.

The Targus is too tight,I got it for free on my pre order and never used it till now

Wow, what a disappointment. I had a feeling it was the same case used for the iPad. You can find it for around $25 on Amazon. I saw the different "model" number and was hoping it was indeed for the Sony Tablet. Bummer!!!

Amazon is showing the Sony case for $70 now. Looks like the retailer is trying to move inventory.

I canceled the order.

I got one. $69 at adorama.com. A simple carry case for the S. Well made, but not a custom fit for the wedge. You can slip the S in with the big end down or up. No holes in it for access. Only useful for transporting your S between use points.

Thanks for the referral. I haven't heard of them. Ordered the dock/cradle for $29.99 free shipping (standard), no tax. Supposed to take up to 10 days for delivery, but it's nice to save a few bucks. My tablet is supposed to be here on the 28th. I was getting ready to take a hike to the nearest Best Buy that has one in stock, but that would be $43 including tax plus fuel.

I noticed adorama.com has an official leather Sony cover ($74.99) that's not offered at sonystyle.com.

It's backordered, but I ordered one. This has more functionality than the slip case. Can be used as a stand and also with the cradle.

Nice find. I hadn't seen that case anywhere I looked. If you get the cradle, the S may not fit in it when it is wearing a case. Pretty custom fit when naked. Doubt the power connection will make contact if you add a layer of leather. I'd like to see a slip case that can serve as a stand when the tablet isn't in it. May have to make one myself.

It should have a problem with the cradle as the back of the case seems to bend half way up to create the prop so that should put it out of the way(at least thats how it works with the official sony case)

I have a Cheap HP mini-netbook bag I picked up for a 10 quid from asda

It holds it pretty snuggly and also has a couple of pockets for accessoriers to slip into like the power cable and a cleaning cloth etc
