The Clip and P4

Ordered the P4 first - had to do some modifications to the leather area for the "soft" buttons and the camera (really did not have to do it since I'm not using the camera for anything - probably like the majority of people). Looks good and it is leather (still snug but will stretch over time).

Got the white clip a week or two ago - looks pretty good, nice contrast (unlike black, is a dirt magnet) clips hold in as needed. However, does block the USB/SD card slot (no big deal for most people - if you to access these ports, just take out of the case).

One of the biggest worries is the clip is PU - don't know if it will last as long as the leather case, however, if you keep it clean and keep the UV to a minimum, it should last a long time.

Overall, both fit their intended purposes;)
[G Tablet Accessories] tsg2513:
I just switched the tablet around the other way. Now, no ports are blocked at all and when you use the case as a stand, the screen re-orients anyway. Makes me wonder if they made a mistake in the design because putting the tablet in upside down leaves every port unblocked.
[G Tablet Accessories] realsol:
Is this like a big secret. What is the website that offers this case?
[G Tablet Accessories] Rumbleweed:
mine showed up today

. Flimsy box crushed and plastic piece broken. Contacting seller.

EDIT: This was not "The clip sold by it2steve.
[G Tablet Accessories] it2steve:
Are you talking about the CLIP? What plastic piece would have broke?
[G Tablet Accessories] Hachi2Go:
The clip looks amazing. I would get it but it's a little out of my price range. I'm eying the M1. Is the clip worth the extra bucks over the M1?:confused:
[G Tablet Accessories] sjmoreno:
It's at Steve's web store.

Received mine today and I really like it. Thanks Steve! Also ordered the dock last week and it is awesome as Well! Thanks again Steve! Your crap Rocks!
[G Tablet Accessories] devlop:
Just received mine today as well. Great case. I had one of the kindle ones from Amazon and the clip blows it out of the water. Very secure and thin.
[G Tablet Accessories] bso44:
Got mine today as well.

Love it except for one thing. Is anybody having trouble with the Gtab slipping out from the 3rd, most outward position?
[G Tablet Accessories] it2steve:
It supposed to.... If you look in the review the third set of 'clips' are only half size. This allows it to easily pop out of place to use the stand slots.

Hope that makes sense?
[G Tablet Accessories] lilman573:
Steve, every case you have is out of stock!!!

Woot must have been a BOOM in business! Any idea if you will be getting any back in?
[G Tablet Accessories] MicroChip:
Well I got my clip yesterday. Price is a little steep, hopefully Steve will get it down as volume goes up. Other than that it's a pretty nice case. I guess I just prefer the tablet barely in the case at all, and so this does the trick. It does make me nervous that it's going to fall out, but for a day so far, the clips hold.

I was also one of the original owners of a P3, which is a good case too, and mine's in mint condition except that I made very tidy cutouts to expose the power button fully and the soft keys. If anybody wants to buy it, PM me and I'll ship it out for $20.

I know I know marketplace, but I wasn't even thinking of selling it until I read that Steve is out of stock on everything, and I don't really need it.

[G Tablet Accessories] TheKaz:
Ugh.. USPS sent my Clip to a sorting facility 5 miles from my home, which then sent it to a distribution center out of state before it (hopefully today) comes to my house... why? why? why?!?
[G Tablet Accessories] lilman573:
MC, Tthanks for the offer but i was looking to pickup an M1 or a clip.
[G Tablet Accessories] ZebTheCalvinist:
I got mine yesterday as well. I like it a lot so far. Seems well made and sturdy.
[G Tablet Accessories] DroidHam:
Where did you get your tracking #? I'm expecting HOPEFULLY mine today
[G Tablet Accessories] DroidHam:
I wonder if The CLIP will fit the Transformer? If so, itll be alot easier to pass the Transformer off as the gTab to my wife =D
[G Tablet Accessories] MicroChip:
I do have one super minor complaint about this case, and that's that the middle clip does block the USB/microSD card door. That will almost never present a problem, I'll just use dropbox to move music and videos to the tab as I have a 16gb microSD in there, but on occasion I do like to watch movies from a USB stick, especially on a plane.

Other than that I like it.

:( All Sold Out :(

http://electroniccrap.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=5_9&zenid=25ea3e5c0f653c8eea950225198764f5

It seems that I reviewed, debated and waited too long to decide and now ALL of the cases are out of stock . . . .

Any idea on availability for the Clip?

Thanks!
[G Tablet Accessories] whiplash13:
He has mentioned in his newsletter that he has 120 more coming in this week.
[G Tablet Accessories] TheKaz:
paypal should have emailed it to you..
[G Tablet Accessories] bso44:
Oh, I didn't mean it was slipping out of the clips. I meant that it had trouble staying in the 3rd (most outward) stand slot.
[G Tablet Accessories] sjmoreno:
I think that issue on your case will go away after that crease on the tablet side gets softer. I don't have that issue with mine.
[G Tablet Accessories] bso44:
I hope so. It's the only thing that's annoying me and I hope it's not a defect.
[G Tablet Accessories] insight76:
awesome.

Although if it's anything like the last round, sounds like it's still going to be nearly impossible to get one of these babies!
[G Tablet Accessories] Gaslight0:
My Clip arrived yesterday. It is exactly what I was looking for.

It fits the gTablet perfectly and does not add much to the size.

Thanks Steve
[G Tablet Accessories] cj1171:
Oh man I'd like to get in on one of these puppies before my next work trip... this + iDisplay could be a pretty sweet setup :D
[G Tablet Accessories] StingRay_:
For those of you that have received from Steve....how much does shipping run on the Clip?

Thanks.

Alternative sources for the CLIP case

THe CLIP remains sold out on itSteve's web-site, but I tracked down an alternative source - DHGate, which lets you deal directly with the manufacturers in China. Doing a search for "Zpad case" gets you 40+ hits, including the CLIP. for the most part those are wholesale lots, but a few sellers allow you to buy individual pieces. Free shipping, too! Both black and white CLIPs are available, priced at $57 (vs. $48 on electroniccrap.com). So if you're a. fine with over-paying, b. don't mind dealing with a Chinese wholesaler of unknown repute, and c. can wait for a week or so for the item to get here, this could be an option for you.

I ordered mine in black, so will report on the results once (if) i get it.
[G Tablet Accessories] DroidHam:
I got mine today, its great! Works awesome as a stand, got it sitting on my desk next to me at work. Perfect angle! Only downside is im left handed, when im walking with it open it opens to the left like a book so its in my way. May flip it so it opens to the right but then the buttons on the bezel are upside down. I will see how it goes, but it is GREAT!
[G Tablet Accessories] domg3k:
I got mine on Monday, it is exactly what I was looking for. Fits perfectly and stands tablet at great angles. Big thanks to Steve for a great product
[G Tablet Accessories] whiplash13:
Mine was delivered today so I will get to try it out tonight. I have a POS case from Staples that I am going to return once I slap the CLIP on. Will post back with my impression tomorrow or later tonight.
[G Tablet Accessories] LuvDog:
I got mine the other day too... very similar to my ipad case except for the lack of an extra crease on the front cover.
[G Tablet Accessories] insight76:
*Jealous!!!*:D
[G Tablet Accessories] JudasD:
Bingo! I have the exact same case on my ipad and that is the only thing this case is missing is the extra crease. Do you think it's possible to make a crease yourself and not ruin the case?

JD
[G Tablet Accessories] IndyLateNite:
I got my new Clip yesterday. It's black and I love it!!! Fits as well as the white one does.

If anyone is interested in a white Clip, let me know. I'll sell the one I have have for 40.00 including shipping. Nothing wrong with it. Just replaced by my black one. I know how short supply these are so I just want to help out another g-tab'er!

Hope this doesn't violate any site rules.:confused:
[G Tablet Accessories] mcp2009:
Sent you a pm regarding it. I can send payment tonight
[G Tablet Accessories] mcp2009:
if anyone has a spare clip case to sell pm me
[G Tablet Accessories] drizzt5:
Same.

I'd like to get a case soon.
[G Tablet Accessories] IndyLateNite:
Got your PM. Returned a PM to you.
[G Tablet Accessories] mcp2009:
Sent ya a payment of 45
[G Tablet Accessories] bso44:
Just got a newsletter from ElectronicCrap saying that they might be getting 120 more on Friday morning.
[G Tablet Accessories] notwen:
Grew tired of waiting for these to come into stock w/any stability. Bought a M1 from another person here on xdadev. Will check back and wait until demand is less.
[G Tablet Accessories] whiplash13:
As good as it gets.

So I finally got my hands on the Clip and it is a great case. Here are some of my points, most of which have already been mentioned:

Pros:

Holds the GTab really well. It was actually a slight struggle to get it on ( not a bad thing).

There are several positions that are all very useful. I really like the folded back position the best but the others are useful for watching videos and such where you are more hands off.

Solid construction. Doesn't feel flimsy or cheaply made at all.

Secure lock. Locking mechanism is strong so you don't have to worry about it accidentily opening.

Very small footprint. It doesn't add any un-needed bulk to the GTab.

Cons:

The Smell. It really does stink. While the PU is of very good quality, it smells pretty bad. However, I have read that the smell will go away eventually.

Blocks the SD Card/USB slot. Not a big deal for me since I hardly ever access these areas. Plus if you don't care that the camera will be on the bottom (and hard buttons on the left), you can put the unit in upside down which fixes this issue. This orientation also opens the bottom port for use in a dock.

All in all it's a great case and if I had an iPad and they made this same case for it, I would have no issue at all using it knowing all the other cases out there available for it.

Great product and great service from Steve. Two Thumbs up (even though I can only show one on this post )
[G Tablet Accessories] johnhandy:
just got an email from steve's store saying the clips are in stock. in for 1 and can't wait to get it :D
[G Tablet Accessories] bkbrod:
Yep, just ordered mine. Can't wait either! :D
[G Tablet Accessories] severusx:
Yep, just ordered mine. Can't wait to get it. There are 120 in stock today and 100 more on the way. Thanks Steve!
[G Tablet Accessories] timwood:
Just ordered mine too.
[G Tablet Accessories] whiplash13:
Wow can't believe he is half sold out. 63 in stock as of this post.
[G Tablet Accessories] MrDavis:
Clip

Wow! They are going fast! I think I have spent more effort in finding a decent case than I ever spent getting any ROM loaded/running ....But played the waiting game and now I have a Clip on the way:D

MrDavis
[G Tablet Accessories] severusx:
Wow, down to 44 right now. Get them while you can...
[G Tablet Accessories] JudasD:
i ordered one too. i really wish the docks were in stock so i could share the shipping charge. shipping seems to be a bit steep for my tastes :( almost double what i am used to seeing.

JD
[G Tablet Accessories] miatawnt2b:
I ordered mine 2 days ago from aliexpress and it shipped today. Would have gotten one from Steve, but I wasn't sure when his stock was arriving. Turns out it was the same price anyhow with free shipping from aliexpress.

-J
[G Tablet Accessories] sjmoreno:
It might be three weeks before you get the one from AliExpress. You might want to buy another one now from it2steve and then sell the one you get from AliExpress when it arrives. That way you will have one in your hands in the next three business days rather than three weeks.

I have a white one already and just ordered a black one from it2steve.
[G Tablet Accessories] S2W:
Wow you guys got them all, lol... got in late on the deal for a black one... they are all sold out. Guess I will have to wait. Hopefully Isteve will acquire some more of the clip in black soon...
[G Tablet Accessories] whiplash13:
He said he has 100 more on order and are about to be shipped by his supplier. He said they should arrive in about 1 week.
[G Tablet Accessories] StingRay_:
Loving my Clip!

I've only had my Clip for a couple of hours, but am quite satisfied with the quality and the fit. Probably not a $48 dollar case, but with the lack of true customized accessories for the GTab it is worth it. Will use the case more and provide feedback after more use.

On a side note, Steve is fantastic to work with...helped me out on a couple of different issues on his site. A nice guy that's providing a great resource for GTab owners! Thanks Steve!

Been using the Clip this evening...definitely recommend. Nice to have a case that fits this well for my GTab!
[G Tablet Accessories] kevinbakon08:
Sold Out

:( :( :( :(

I've been watching like a hawk, then I had to step away to do this "work" thing for a few hours.

I rushed back only to get excited, then crushed all in one split second
[G Tablet Accessories] sdruesch:
sweet

best case i have ever seen. Just got my 10 minutes ago. Love it!

Thanks Steve for making this happen.

Steve
[G Tablet Accessories] timwood:
Mine is already listed as "shipped" in the website. Cannot wait to get it!
[G Tablet Accessories] sjmoreno:
Maybe you should ask it2steve about starting a preorder thing on his site so you could place your order now and he ships it to you when he gets more in stock. That way you won't have to keep missing out?
[G Tablet Accessories] DumIam:
guess I should consider myself lucky lol. There were only 6 left in stock at 2 pm cst when I got my order in
[G Tablet Accessories] bkbrod:
Mine also. Got the E-mail about an hour ago. :)
[G Tablet Accessories] kevinbakon08:
Yay! I got my order placed!!!!

:D:D:D:D

One thing though . . . .

The product I selected was "CLIP - Viewsonic gTablet folio case - WHITE" and I selected "Black" as the color option . . .

After I placed my order though, I went back to the "cases" page and I noticed that there is actually a second entry for "CLIP - Viewsonic gTablet folio case - BLACK" with a different product number.

Anyone else order the White, with Black selected as the color?
[G Tablet Accessories] whiplash13:
Yesterday there was only one listing for this item with a color selection. My guess is now he created 2 separate items for this since Zen cart doesn't allow you to track quantity on options (color) in a customer friendly way. Seems like he still had a few whites left but no blacks. There was till one white one at the time of this posting.
[G Tablet Accessories] Fdnman:
One last white clip le.....

never mind. It's gone.

:p
[G Tablet Accessories] noechelon:
This morning I saw only 2 left of the white (even though I wanted black) and jumped on buying one.
[G Tablet Accessories] S2W:
Thanks for the bit of info... will def be looking forward to the next batch.
[G Tablet Accessories] S2W:
... and You should... lol As I wasn't lol. Hope you and others who were fortunate enjoy the clip.
[G Tablet Accessories] 4wheeler:
I just got my clip case today and it is perfect but you can tell the glue is still fresh but I will let it air out.

Nick
[G Tablet Accessories] ensign.fodder:
Received mine (Steve rocks) and it is great - especially compared to the P3 which was my daily driver before. Will give it a day or two to determine any issues and after that sell the P3.
[G Tablet Accessories] sjmoreno:
Got the black CLIP delivered to the office on Saturday so I couldn't play with it until this morning.

Just like the white CLIP I already have, I LOVE this case. Don't know if I'm imagining it but I think this black one is just a hair smaller than the white one.

I am torn on which one I like better. The white one really stands out in nice contrast to the black gTab but the black one blends nicely with the black gTab.

I may sell one off when I sell my second gTab after the Asus Transformer is released here.
[G Tablet Accessories] noechelon:
Ordered Friday and it was in my mailbox when I got home today (Monday). Its on my tab as I type this and I can tell you already it has made using the tab easier. I may order a black one later. I can't wait to travel with it.
[G Tablet Accessories] DumIam:
Got my black Clip this morning, and love it! Great quality and arrived quickly. Hope you get one soon.
[G Tablet Accessories] Stri26:
Just got my my clip today! Really like it, but have some questions for others who have their case:

1) Does anyone find that the various stand positions are not very sturdy? My tab slips out of position when I touch either top corner of the screen.

2) Has anyone else noticed the sensitivity on the screen is reduced with the tab in a standing position? Guess it is because of the lack of pressure on the screen.

Thanks!
[G Tablet Accessories] DumIam:
No, actually find the stand to be pretty sturdy. Using it now as I type this. No problems with it falling when touching the corners either. A bit pricey, but am very happy happy with this purchase. Look forward to testing with the dock when it arrives.
[G Tablet Accessories] johnhandy:
got mine today. only complaint is the smell lol
[G Tablet Accessories] Stri26:
Hm...my stand def pops out of place when I tap either top corner a bit
[G Tablet Accessories] djones1982:
1. Can definitely agree here. This is where the M1 shines, since the flap on the back prevents this sort of thing from happening as easily. I have found a bit of a workaround. That green microfiber cloth you get in the retail box for the GTab is great for preventing slippage. Just the right amount of friction to keep the thing in place.

2. Only sensitivity problem is if I don't press the screen hard enough while trying to prevent slippage. Otherwise, no sensitivity issues whatsoever.

Honestly, I'm going to give it a few days, but I foresee myself switching back to the M1 and turning The Clip over to my wife for her soon-to-arrive WootOff GTab. I use the tablet daily at work, and the Clip is just too unstable to be a daily driver. While it has its high points (way better portrait profile than the M1), there's just too many downsides for everyday use. Maybe I'll change my mind after a few days, we'll see.
[G Tablet Accessories] sjmoreno:
Once the fold behind the gTab gets a little more use you will find the tablet doesn't slip out of those grooves much if at all.

I generally don't try and type on my gTab while it's in my CLIP in viewing angle mode (that's what I'm calling it when I've got it up in one of the grooves). When it's up like that I use it primarily for reading or watching videos.

I usually pick it up when I'm using it to swype my finger around or tap on links and such. And for typing when it's in the case I usually use my keyboard/touchpad.

I guess everyone uses the case and tablet differently and depending on how you use it your level of satisfaction will vary. For the way I use my case I'm completely happy with it.
[G Tablet Accessories] JudasD:
I just got in my CLIP. This case is a copy of the "Yoobao Magic" case for the ipad. The version for the ipad is made of thicker material and feels a little better when handled. The case itself for the gtab bends a little easier. The grooves for the viewing angles also work better for a thinner tablet like the ipad. They really should have made the grooves thicker and wider for the gtab. I'm still a little miffed that the gtab version was $10 more than the ipad version and ya get slightly lesser quality. Ohh well, cant complain for a niche product i suppose. Overall this would still be the only gtab case i would buy regardless of the price.

JD
[G Tablet Accessories] xjarl:
There are many factory produced accessories for Ipad1, Ipad2,Ipodx--touch in China. But few of them willing to produce accessories for GTab. So i think this is the reason of the more $10 price... To be honest This may not really a copy version. Because yoobao not apply for a patent for it.
[G Tablet Accessories] ThatGeekGuy:
Got my Clip and Thinskin yesterday, very pleased with both so far. I agree that the grooves in the Clipcould be a little wider/deeper, but no real slippage problems when typing or Swypeing. Putting the Thinskin on was a little tricky to make sure it was square and lined up on all edges, but it beats the heck out of the butt-ugly logos that come stock on the GTab :)
[G Tablet Accessories] crm_007:
Will M1 case fit too if I add the carbon fiber thin skin to the gtab?....:confused:
[G Tablet Accessories] it2steve:
Yep.. The Skin is so thin it doesn't bother either the cases or the dock. I LOVE the skin aaron is the bomb! :)
[G Tablet Accessories] juanaraya92679:
Good comments from everyone on the CASE.. I Just purchased mine !!! woohoo :) can't wait to get it.
[G Tablet Accessories] bkbrod:
Got mine yesterday and exactly what I wanted. I've had no problem with it slipping.

Thanks Steve. :)
[G Tablet Accessories] Quie2TP:
Read all the reviews on this case and made my decision to order one today when I noticed Steve had some in stock. I ordered mine w/61 left in stock, and it is already down to 41. Better hurry if you are going to get one. LOL! Can't wait to get mine.
[G Tablet Accessories] bkbrod:
Bunch more in stock, he just got them today. Get them while there hot!!!!!! :p
[G Tablet Accessories] drizzt5:
Got mine today. Ordered on Thursday I think.

100% Worth it. Looks great, and I really really really needed a way to prop it up and this case provides just that.
[G Tablet Accessories] extensive:
Ordered! !
[G Tablet Accessories] soul05:
got my clip today...it smells really bad
[G Tablet Accessories] TheKaz:
it gets better...
[G Tablet Accessories] emersonlp:
Yeah mine smelled bad at first, been only 2 days since mine arrived and i dont smell it anymore unless i stick my nose all up in it.

Glad I bought from electronicCrap, the shipping was super fast and I am very pleased with The Clip! Definitely recommend!
[G Tablet Accessories] kai_e:
ordered the CLIP for hubby's wootoff gtab. A surprise present - going to give it to him with the carbon skin, case and Vegan-tab on it.

Hope he likes it as much as everyone else seems to!
[G Tablet Accessories] ylsf:
If anyone in Toronto/GTA area is looking for one, I ordered an extra one from Steve hoping to split the costs and make is ultimately cheaper. With exchange/shipping/etc worked out to about $65 CAD. Would consider also selling my extra dock or I might just keep it ($65 CAD). Not looking to sell the dock without selling the CLIP. You can send me a PM on here.

g tablet silicone case

I was wondering if anyone knows of a place to get a silicone case that would fit the G-Tab.

Please PM me
[G Tablet Accessories] regalpimpin:
Is the shiney portion of the vinyl essentially just rubbing off of anyone elses clips.

All the clips on mine are now a dull shade of black without the leather texture.

Crossing fingers it doesnt spread any further. Shame, love the case. And I'm extremely gentle with all my devices.

If it continues then its not worth the price. It's less than 2 weeks old.
[G Tablet Accessories] sjmoreno:
I have a white CLIP and a black CLIP. The white one I've had since Steve started selling them (over a month) and the black one I've had for about a week. I use both of them everyday (I have 2 gTabs) and both of them look as good as the day I first received them.
[G Tablet Accessories] ThatGeekGuy:
Like a few other good things in life:D
[G Tablet Accessories] tflb:
Got mine today, hoping it smelt like "other good things in life" it didn't :(
