Vipertek Leather Case

---

Didn't see any threads in the Iconia area so figured I'd post. Been using it for a couple days now and like it a lot. Has 6 clips that hold the iconia in the case real good. Bottom 2 clips detach to allow the bottom to pop out and sit in one of the 3 stand grooves in the cover. The cover has a clip on it too that holds on real good. Case is made of black, leather-like material and the inside is a gray felt material. Also, all ports are accessible. Due to use of clips instead of a full enclosing style "sleeve," it allows full access to the edges of the screen, unlike the Acer case which came with my tab and I don't like. For $20 with free shipping which took a week, I give it 9/10, only because it's advertised as leather and it's a leather blend material which doesn't bug me.

I cannot post links yet so go to Amazon and search for Vipertek Iconia a500 for some pics.

edit: forgot to add cutouts on the back for the speakers and the camera.

The link posted by azoller1 in reply to my original post is the correct link to Amaz. Ordered it on 11/12/11 and it arrived by USPS on 11/16/11. It looks, it feels and it smells like leather on the outside whilst the inner lining is micro-fill. It has 6 "clips", (looking at it in landscape view) 2 are at the top L & R corners, 2 are at the bottom L & R corners and the final 2 are on the L & R sides about one third of the way down from the top. When it is closed up the A500 engages in all 6 clips. When it is fully closed every "input" (power,hdmi,usb full, usb "B", on/off button, volume up/down, rotation lock and even the sd card cover) are all accessible. To operate the A500 you have to "unhook" the bottom 2 clips and slide the bottom edge of the A500 into one of the "ridges" where it rests at the required angle. Although I am not an acomplished photographer I hope the attached photos will show that.
Having used it for a couple of days I am growing to like it especially at the price I paid.......THERE LIES THE RUB!......... When I bought it on 11/12/11 it was quoted on Amaz's site as $9.93 plus $4.99 shipping and even without seeing it I thought I couldn't go wrong at that price. On Tuesday 11/15/11 I went to Amaz's to check on delivery date and ........SHOCK HORROR........ found that the price was now shown as $19.98 plus shipping. Long story short I checked my bank account and found that the original price quoted me of $9.93 plus shipping was what had been charged to my debit card. There was no notice on the web site when I bought it that it was a special offer or some such so I can only conclude that for a short time a mistake had been made by the selling company.
At the price I paid I would heartily recommend this case BUT I am not certain I would at twice the price. But if you like the look of it, look around and see if you can find a reduced price.

Great, i'll ask the person that manages that thread to add the Vipertek to the master list at the start of the thread so people know it's in there.

I have it as well. I have had mine 7 days. I frikkin love this thing. Nice, thin, unobtrusive and best of all has a look of great quality. Get one guys they are the shiz.

just ordered it yesterday.. there are also others that are the same just rebranded for different prices.

the thing that really differentiates this from other cases is that it doesnt cover the bezel all around

err.. the one i actually ordered was the vertek branded one..

This is also the one I have my tablet in.there are two flaws.
1, I do not like the forword type stand does not lay in my Lap as easly as the fold back type.
2.it needs to have some color good tech stuffs always targeted for men.grrrrr.
I did order the red crown case I just hope the quality is even half this viper case.

grabbed the Blurex one on amazon. it was 17.00 usd couldn't complain judging by the pics in your post here, it's identical probably the same manufacturer just a different sales brand stamped into the leather. and i concur the quality of these cases are great.

I've been using the junky old stock Acer rubber case for a while now. Looks like a much better bang for the buck from what I can see. Thanks for the heads up!

just a heads up.. these cases(doesnt matter what brand) all say black but the inside flap is actually a grey color(obvious because of pics), verteks has one with the inside being all black, which i prefer. so if you prefer black/black, get the verteks branded one.
