I have the 101, but with the 70, can't you use just about any Kindle or Nook case?

I've read comments by some people who have tried cases for other devices. Some of the cases fit too tight. Some people have had to cut out part of the case to have access to the plugs or button. Other cases are too loose.

I would like to find a case that fits snug, but too tight. I do have a pouch that I can use for carrying my Archos, but I don't have a screen protector.

Right now the most important thing is get a screen protector. I ruined the screen on my iBook G4 in only a couple weeks before I got a screen protector.

I'm wondering if that screen protector will work for both the Archos 70 IT 8GB and 250GB ... ???

I sent an e-mail to the company asking them that question.

A screen protector will be a very good investment, and a good case! I plan on taking my Archos with me quite often ...

Default Vikuiti DCQ160 is the new standard for me

Up until my days using a capacitive touchscreen I would swear by Invisible-Shield (zagg). They're mfing indestructible. They have too much grip to get a good feel on a touchscreen that you want to do a lot of swiping on though. New favorite for capacitive touchscreens is Vikuiti by 3M. I bought 2 for the 101. Nearly impossible to install well without a clean room, a robot, a compass and a firetruck full of circus clowns, but all protectors will be difficult on a screen this large. All I can say is be patient, be careful and good luck.

I'd give you a courtesy URL but the forums say I'm too much of a virgin to posting. The base URL is protectionfilms24 [dot] com. Figure it out from there.

Vikuiti being the best is my opinion. The Vikuiti is not as m-f-ing indestructible as the Zagg, but I've been using them on my HD2 and they're 90% as indestructible. Instead of using 1 it the devices lifetime it might use 3 or 4. Better though is most people grab my phone and play with it but can't tell there is a screen protector on. I haven't let anyone play with my tablet yet since I don't feel it's better than an iPad yet

Thanks! I've added that to my Wish List on Amazon. Now, I just need to find the right case with a sturdy stand, so I can have my Archos standing when I'm not holding on to it.

Tuff-Luv case for Archos 70.
I have this one and it's really good. It costs about 20-25$ but it's really worth it.
