Hey, has anyone solved the problem of charging while it's propped up in a case? Micro USB is on the bottom, making it pretty awkward and probably not good for the port and cable. I looked around for a right-angle adapter but really it should be a 45 or 135 degree angle or go out to the side. Was also thinking there might be a thin dock it can rest on. Kinda redundant to get one that is a full stand though. Any ideas?
[Q] Charging while in case stand

Thanks. That looks sturdy. I'm hoping to make the case with stand I have work with this tablet. Basically some really portable workaround for having the port on the bottom.
That might work. So it angles towards the front?
I might just leave it in the case upside down. Port is now on top where it should have been. I don't need the cameras anyway.
I have this stand. The space below the tablet is too tight to attach a normal usb cable. At least the force applied to the jack by bending the cable right behind the plug would not be healthy.
But with the little foot integrated in the big one, you can operate the tablet in a probably 20 degree angle, with usb attached, though the cable would trace annoyingly in front of the tablet.

[Edit: Upside down does work. There was a Wanam Exposed setting for it.]
Upside down solutions won't work for me because the screen will not rotate upside down.
It did before. I don't know when it stopped doing this. It is running Kit Kat and is rooted.
I have sort of a folding book cover with three "leather" strips on the inside of
the front cover that block the device from slipping. You can tilt the device back and prop it on the outside of the cover rather than the inside as designed. I use a big clip to block it, but you could glue strips onto
the outside as well.

I don't know why but mine has flipped 180 fine since I got it except a few apps. Even most games work. On KK now.
I still find it very frustrating. Ambient light sensor gets blocked that way. Worst part about this tab I think. Buttons should be portrait too I think.
