[Q] Back Cover Case Without Flap

[|Jason8|]

Hey guys,

I'm looking for a TPU-style case for my HP Touchpad. Everywhere I look, the cases all have the front flap to protect the screen. This just seems to be a gigantic pain in the ass that I don't want to deal with.

Anyways, I have a rubber case for my EVO 3D. It's actually this Rocketfish case from Best Buy: http://goo.gl/oDOiG

Is there anything available like this for the TouchPad? I've been Googling and searching forums for forever and can't find one remotely close. Silicone cases are too stretchy and aren't glossy on the outside. This one has a rubber feel to it and is glossy, so it doesn't stick to everything.

Thanks for the help!

I've looked everywhere I could think of any haven't turned anything up. I've been using TPU cases on all my devices and prefer them over anything else so wanted the same for the TP. They don't seem very common for devices of this size to begin with though. Maybe an enterprising XDAr will step up. In the meantime I'm using the HP case which isn't bad at all.

given some time I'm sure they'll show....bear in mind this has only just become the most desired commodity....so the vendors need a sample to dish out the cases

this is what I'm after too really. Appears to be a real lack of anything decent in the UK at the moment Hopefully there'll be more released soon!

This might do, it's not exactly what you're looking for though.

The front piece that you can see rotated pops off so you can leave the back/front flap sections behind and still securely hold the pad in the case.

I've only seen a few rocketfish products so far and so far they seem like overpriced crap. Haven't seen they're cases though, how is it and how much was it?



I actually didn't want the HP case and my mother talked me into it. I'm so glad she did. The flap doubles as a stand, and two positions, one angled for typing easier and one standing up so you can watch stuff easier. Totally worth it imo.

I'm actually thinking about funding another HP case and just slicing off the flap and putting a screen protector in...would do for the near term. Honestly I haven't yet found a situation in a week and a half where the stand part was useful.

Had the same problem, couldn't find anything suitable, ended up going for a slip case.

Really? At least for me I found that the lower position with the HP case is a perfect viewing angle for when I have the Touchpad in my lap. It also makes it much easier to type.

I tend to either sit with my knees up (I have a knee injury and until surgery in October I have my lt knee up a lot) or I hold the TP with both hands and type with my thumbs...in either case I have no use for the flap.

Unfortunately I tried yesterday to find another case but couldn't - did find more Touchstones but one of those is enough for me.

I actually ordered an official HP case and this is what I'll be doing with it... sigh.
