I'll make up my own mind as to wether or not I like the way it looks.

What I would like is for someone who has this case to actually write a review of it. Is it heavy? What does it feel like in the hand? How much protection does it really give? I know it's stupid expensive, but if it'll keep it from breaking when I drop it, then I see it as an insurance policy.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] KaliS-Pugilist:
one word, fugly
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] wendellc:
Just got my case and loving it! Best part about the case is the plastic trim the goes over the transformer reinforcing it. You can get a silicone case but it will not seat and seal like this thing does.......drop your transformer with your typical silicone case and I'm pretty sure you will damage the metal trimming.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] iamcjbon:
I want something like that actually because I have the Case-Mate Tough Case for my HTC Desire and like it a lot. However, the Case-Mate silicon is inside while the hard plastic is outside. I don't know if the plastic will scratch the TF and the silicon outside is a lint magnet. IMHO, it should be like the Case-Mate with the silicon inside. We wear comfy underwear inside isn't it :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Metaphysical:
That particular one color scheme looks fugly, hopefully there are different color schemes.

I use my dock way too much for this to be practical, I know it might be a lot to ask but I'd only buy a case that can either be docked with it on or something that's easier to put on & take off
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] omardd98:
Just got my case and yes its bulky and very rugged. I'm glad I got it because my kids like to use it and it has fallen from there hands and at that point is when you wish you had this case. Also makes it a bit heavy but I like knowing its in my hands and the chances of it slipping it very unlikely and if it does make contact with the ground its protected. Remember its like our smart phones we never expect them to fall but when they do thank goodness for the case.

you got that rite wow no offence
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] b18c_ej8:
I just wanted to post & say that I got my Gumdrop case yesterday, and I love it. I ordered the black/black version - Fit is awesome. Once you snap the plastic "skeleton" onto the unit, there's no play whatsoever. The silicone ring seats into the plastic perfectly with tabs, and after using it in all orientations last night, none of the tabs worked their way loose, remaining firmly locked in.

The only concerned I had was that I thought the port "flaps" were a little thick and semi-rigid, and that they'd put too much pressure on the 40-pin connector and the HDMI out, but I don't think it will be an issue. The 40-pin connector seems to be straight and under very little strain from the flap pressing on it. We'll see what happens when the HDMI cable I ordered arrives, but I don't anticipate a problem.

No longer do I fear that the Transformer will slip out of my hands while I'm using it, or slide off my leg onto the floor. The silicone is grippy, but soft & supple at the same time. The "treads" on the back/sides are like mini finger holds - very comfortable.

Touch sensitivity remains good, which I was actually surprised about. I figured I'd have to use a stylus or press harder to get things to register, but that's not the case. Very good quality control it seems at Gumdrop!

Could this thing be priced $10 less? Sure... But now I'm not as scared I'm going to break it, and I'm not terrified that my 4 year old will get ahold of it and destroy it. :)

Pic for reference. Ignore my messy desk. :P

Edit - Can't post a picture because I'm "new". I guess I need to post more. :thumbup:
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] mikewire:
I ordered a black/black after finding out that Otterbox doesn't make a case for the TF. Thanks b18c_ej8 for the realistic review, I can't wait to get mine and try it. My only concern is getting it out of the case for the dock. But I figured I would have that issue with any case meant for a tablet.

@b18c_ej8 if you don't get some pics up, I'll take some and post 'em, I should have enough posts now.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] jtmtl:
I just discovered these cases and they look great but do you have to remove the case for use with the keyboard dock? If so, is it difficult to remove and reinstall? And what about the screen protector...i already have a zagg invisible shield on the screen so is the protective screen removable?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] b18c_ej8:
Definitely not compatible with the dock - and I see it as a huge pain to pull that case off every time you want to dock it. Probably the best solution for this case is a bluetooth or USB/dongle keyboard. Not as slick as the dock, but a workaround for sure.

I guess I should have paid more attention to the post window - I can add pictures as an attachment. Pic of my case below.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] b18c_ej8:
Now that I know it works, I'll take a couple more pics tonight when I get home.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] mikewire:
My Gumdrop case showed up today, and here's some pictures of the unboxing and install.

A quick overview: This thing is stout. I wouldn't be afraid if I accidentally dropped my tab on a hard surface, because I doubt it would be damaged at all.

There's an inner cage, with a built in screen protector, which also goes over the light sensor and front camera. I actually removed the protector from the inner cage, because I have a Zagg, and I personally didn't like how the built in protector looked - it wasn't as clear as I wanted it to be. It's a simple thing to remove, and reversible if you want to add it back in later.

From the side pics, you can see how the molded inside cage is made to fit around the buttons, speakers, camera, and ports. That's well made.

After putting the tab inside the inside cage, the outer silicone wraps around and there are tabs that slide into the interior cage, locking it in place. Once it's in the case, it's solid. All the ports are covered, except for the speakers - there are open holes on each side.

I'm a TF101 dock owner also, so I will leave my tab in the case most of the time, and use the dock for travel or when I am using it as a laptop or netbook. Honestly, it's not that hard to remove it from the case, but it's not something I would want to do very often. But if you buy a tablet, you bought a tablet, not a netbook so it should be used more as a tablet anyway. At least that's the way I see it.

Overall...I like it. I have an Otterbox for my DINC, and the fit is just as high quality - possibly better with the locking tabs. And the rugged "tire" shape is really nice to hold on to, and is nearly slip-proof. Gumdrop has one up on Otterbox, and hopefully they will consider making the same high quality product for other models of tablets and phones so I can get one for my next Android phone.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] wyattyoss:
What's really wrong with the screen protector?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] mikewire:
I already had a Zagg protector installed. Also, the included protector is a matte finish, and althoug it is a pretty high quality film, I didn't think it was going to be as clear as the Zagg.

If I didn't have the Zagg installed, i would have left it in for sure.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] wyattyoss:
Alright thanks, I didn't know if it was loose or what.

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Vince_be:
Hi!

Could anybody provide me the dimensions of the tablet with the case on it?

Many thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] wyattyoss:
I just got mine from amazing today, and I couldn't be happier. Well, I could, but that's only because there is a little gap between the screen and protector in the corners. Great case, no point in pictures since there are some just above this post. The tablet fits snug, and I'm no longer nervous to set it down on a coffee table because of the weak backing.

Sure, although they aren't the best photos, they show the dimensions:
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] wyattyoss:
I've gotta admit, I I don't like the screen protector. I'm considering taking it off..I'm just wondering if ill need a new one.

Will the Gumdrop TF101 fit a TF103 ?!

Hate to resurrect a topic but information on this exact Gumdrop case is needed.

Have a new TF103 and want to get a Gumdrop case as they are just about bomb-proof. The thing is that the maker has only a case for the TF101. My question can anybody help me out to find if the Gumdrop TF101 case can fit a TF103 case?! Just looking on the internet now to compare sizes and ports etc on the two tablets.

Thanks a boatload

I know Rodderick has a dual boot kernel out for the Epic, haven't played with it myself yet, but heard it works decently. I'm sure it's possible, we just may not have interested developers to make it happen. Personally I'd rather see a stable CM7 or MIUI than being able to dual boot roms on the Tab.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bizso09:
I am using htc Desire.

I have tried this command line

ip link set eth0 address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

to change the mac which only works temporarily. After I disconnect and reconnect to the network, the mac resets to factory one

Also I tried this to copy nvram.txt from /data/misc/wifi/nvram.txt and add macaddr=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX in the end , but I don't have such file there is only wpa_supplicant.conf in the wifi directory.

How can I change the mac address on HTC Desire running Android? I have rooted phone with superuser permission.

Hi,

My phone goes to 99% charge without a hitch but wont go to 100%

At 99% battery my i got 4207mV

All i did was to follow the instructions on this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1198333&highlight=battery

Before that 100% is no problem and after that stuck with 99%

and one more thing my phone shows me messahe on lock screen that phone is fully charged unplug but when i see the battery its just 90%.

From 90% onwards i see unplug message.

I am using Alien#4 ROME and Atrix-GB-Kernel-0.1.7-ext4-sv Kernel

Any suggestions or i am just over thinning ?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rickroller:
Same thing continually happens to me. I've done all the "fixes" and suggestions..and it still does it. Sometimes it goes up to 100%..sometimes 95%. All's I ever do is reboot with the phone still plugged in and "usually" (not always), it boots up showing 100%. IMO there is something with GB that is causing it..cuz i've noticed it on every rom i've tried (Alien, Cherry, CM7 etc)..
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whipon:
=>

Same here. It won't charge past 89%, and it did the same in the past at 92/93 %. I fixed it with a hard reset, but don't feel like doing that again.

Sometimes when I disconnect the charger, the phone still acts as if the charger is plugged in. Only solution is to reboot.

I will try to reboot with the charger connected to ser if that fixed my battery metter. Thanks for sharing.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rickroller:
Another thing i've done (as per xploited's thread), is when phone is fully charged reboot the phone (while still being plugged in) and pop out the battery right away. The phone will reboot with a ? (looking for the battery)..then pop the battery back in and it will usually say 5%. Leave it charging until it reaches 10% (i've never gotten it to go higher)..at which point unplug and reboot your phone.

Just read this interesting tidbit from another thread:

"Recently i have tested "Battery left widget", a market app.

When i go in "Summary" and "History" and "Sensor usage" option, i see this :

Sensor is activ "all the time" since last "plug on wall".

Sensor is in use by "Android System"

I have test this :

Charge 100% (and calibrated with CMW wipe battery or "BatteryCallibration" app before), unplug, and REBOOT.

This manual reboot stop "Sensor" activated by recharg.

After this simple action, battery drain has disapeer, and "sensor" activity too

Battery drain is the same than Froyo, 1 day in suspend mode, 1 hour game, 1 hour web and 15% battery left. It's magic !

I think, System detect the wall plug, and activ "something" in system nether desactivated after unplug.

Reboot is the only way to stop this sensor, and baterry drain"

So basically..after fully charging your phone..reboot with it unplugged and it should eliminate some of the drain people are experiencing. Until a new version of GB comes out..I think we'll all have to deal with these weird battery issues.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hem.acharya:
same issue here with alien 4

it was all good i used to get a very impressive battery life. but after i put alien 4 ( before that i used first ken's release of GB ) the battery life is worse and it doesn't charge till 100% and the drain from from 98 to 90 is very quick compared to other drains in range of 10%
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whatsaqazza:
With the 1% mod your phone thinks that the battery is at 100% while at 95%... like 94% would be 90% so it would take a while to get to the full 100 because it doesn't want to overcharge the battery and damage it. Also don't worry about the 100% 4200mv is the normal capacity of the battery's cells aslong as it that or over its still fully charged
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pukemon:
As mentioned above, you're fine if you're at 4200mv. Ymmv because of battery. And the juice is calculated by software. No chip on the battery. If your mv are significantly under 4200 mv then you need to calibrate. If it's close or over, quit worrying and rebooting and just use it. Sometimes my phone flies through 90's but after that it settles down and everything is normal. If you keep trying reset battery stats your battery is not going to calibrate because you're not discharging enough for the software to figure out more accuracy with numbers it gives you.

I voided my warranty.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xateeq:
Without any thing doing battery is back to 100% charging :D
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xploited:
Yep, what the other posters wrote is right. To summarize:

1. If you are at 4200mv, stop worrying what % it shows, because you are at full charge.

2. Android software tries to keep the time when battery is @100% to a minimum, because fully charging and completely discharging on regular basis hurts the battery.

3. The battery meter is lying to you, and it's not such a bad thing, read the article -

Ha ha ha... the home button, take a look again!

Ok this is funny :)

Had the phone about two weeks already.

I just noticed now when I was cleaning the screen, that the home button looked a tiny bit bubbly (for want of a better word). I thought, hmm wait a minute that doesn't look right.

Sure enough, on really close inspection I could see that the button still had a bit of the plastic clear cover on it! LOL managed to get it off and the button and phone look that bit better for it :)

Enjoy...

PS how many of you out there also didn't notice and still have the plastic on it, out of interest post back :)
