Default A510 Accessories Thread

I don't see one, so I'll start one. List any A510 accessories you have seen, have on order or currently own. Please keep it specific to the A510, no generic sleeves/bags/keyboards since they're pretty universal among all tablets.

I'll kick it off with the A510 case I ordered off of Amazon yesterday. Look pretty nice from the pictures, and the price is definitely good ($13 + FS). It says leather, we'll have to wait and see if it's actually real dead cow. The USB port looks accessible when the case is in the 'keyboard' position, may help with my biggest criticism of the design.

The only immediate drawback is delivery, estimated for July 2nd

I have this one, just got it yesterday. Very similar to the one you linked from Amazon. I paid $17, but it's down in the $13s now.

The case is lovely, nice feel, good fit. Slim - doesn't add bulk. What I hesitate on is the tablets performance in the case. Touch sensitivity seems less responsive and my webpages are loading poorly. I'm not ready to throw it out yet, going to play with settings an make sure it's not the home router or anything. Will report back once I've used it more.

This seller has a couple others available and one thing I can say is that it was hands down the best transaction as far as communication that I've had on Ebay. It's a chinese seller, they were extremely communicative. Even contacted me after the purchase to make sure I'd read that it wasn't shipping til May 13... it said that in the auction but they wanted to be sure.

Thumbs down A510 Car Charger

UPDATE 6/14/12: Received replacement charger. Different body style, with a circular connector at the end mating to a micro-USB adapter. Thinking he finally got it right...

WRONG! Same thing happened, plug it into the tablet and the fuse blows. Pretty sure I know why, I believe the voltage is going to the wrong pins. Why do I think that? Because my freaking USB port doesn't work for data transfer any more, either from a memory stick or to my PC. Looks like the USB data lines are fried, but I can still use the Acer charger to charge it. So now I've got to set my new baby in for repairs, glad I kept my A500 as a backup.

Sucks being a guinea pig. I'm just going to order another wall charger, I've got a small inverter in the truck to plug it into. Should have known better, I told him to take down the Amazon listing before anyone else blows up their A510, if I get any crap from him I'll be taking it up with Amazon.

UPDATE 6/10/12: Vendor believes he sent the wrong charger, is sending another. Will update post when received.

DO NOT ORDER THIS CHARGER.

It seems to be just a regular micro-USB 5V charger used for cell phones. Plugging it in to the tablet immediately blows the fuse, at least that works the way it should. I will be contacting the vendor for a refund.

Next up from Amazon, ordered an A510 car charger. I've seen other products from this seller before, looks like this one has been custom made and molded. Under $25 w/shipping.

Received this today. Applied it right away and it is a perfect fit with the A510. Comes with a barcode sticker for video which is this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6RU3O15QPI
They show it being applied to an iPad, but the steps are the same. I aligned it with the hole for the front camera and then down.
