I want to give you some infos after nearly 5 months of using this case.

It still looks like new. The elastic band is still okay.

The only thing I noticed is that the ring of the back cut a circle in the back of the tablet. Look at the picture below.

But the case definitely worth to buy.

Case and Screen Protector ?

Hey guys, I just got the Gpad 8.3, a bit late to the party and I've been looking at the cases and screen protectors. I wanted to get 2 cases and one screen protector.

Why two cases? Because I like the idea of having a slim case and a thick leathery one.

So I'm kinda caught between picking 2 cases out of 4 different ones and 1 screen protector out of 2.

The slim cases:

1. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HH9ZXZ4/

2. http://www.amazon.com/IVSO-Ultra-Lightweight-Function-will-Tablet/dp/B00GSK46D8

Both are listed as sold by IVSO, same price and they look kinda the same, is there a difference to begin with? Which would you recommend?

The thick cases:

1. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DLZWCV6/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

2. http://www.amazon.com/VSTN-Multi-Stand-Leather-Cover-Holder/dp/B00EVNHQEK

From the pictures the MoKo seems to look more rigid and less flimsy like the VSTN, I'm not sure if that's the case in real life or not because most of the Chinese brands offer photoshoped pictures. Which would you recommend.

Lastly, the screen protectors.

1. http://www.amazon.com/ArmorSuit-MilitaryShield-Responsive-Replacements-compatible/dp/B00G4TVTDS

2. http://www.amazon.com/iLLumiShield-...e-Anti-Fingerprint-Replacements/dp/B00F6FJ578

At first I was leaning towards the Armor Suit seeing as they've been saying it's "military grade" and that it self heals etc. But the iLLumi offers 2 protectors not one and doesn't require you to add a liquid to the screen (I'm scared I'd damage something). I haven't had any experience with any of those brands before so I thought I'd ask you guys. Which one would you recommend ?

Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post :good:

My StilGut case has arrived.

Positives: well made, very sturdy, the folding mechanism gives excellent support for landscape typing, and the SD slot is accessible without removing it from the case. Magnet on/off works.

Negatives: not such a fan of having to disengage two corners to fold to landscape, and I'd prefer a 100% magnetic closure instead of the clasp.

Has anyone found a case like this one but for lg g pad ?
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] Zarrick19:
Nope, and I don't think so there even will be a "case" like that. A low-cost ordinary keyboard case maybe, but no hq branded stuff, G Pad isn't enough popular for that.

Btw, I'm going to try the Nillkin Smart Cover from ebay for something like $11. I'm definitely not going to give 55€ for the genuine LG smart cover...
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] wgilles:
I just got the Moko case and I love it. It looks nice (I like the matte look), offers great protection and the stand is VERY sturdy. I highly recommend it.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] mrjubei72:
I'm. Using the Nillkin Smart Cover on mine now and i think it's great. It is very slim - adds very little bulk and is a perfect fit. I ordered the Amzer pudding caseat the same time, just in case i wanted to use a simple gel style cover.

I havent taken the Smart Cover off. :)

Why you need screen protector? Doesn't it come with one? I also got a G Pad last week and no scratches on the screen protector! But I'm the only user of it!

I've got myself this one:

360° LEDER TASCHE FÜR LG G PAD 8.3 HD

It fits perfectly, so far very happy with it.

Pencil is dual function, soft touch tip on one end and real black pen inside...

However, still looking for a case which is equally good in landscape AND portrait orientation (e-books, of course)...

[EDIT] Damn, now I realized... it says ROTATING... I feel stupid now... got to check that functionality... [END EDIT]

[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] Impromark:
I *finally* got my Nillkin case and it's great. Only a smidget heavier than the TPU Gel case (barely notice it), perfect fit, and solid. Smart case feature works just fine, and I worked a way for the stand feature not to obscure the speakers and it works great for me.

I recorded a video review but got the flu so I haven't finished it yet. Will post when I do. :)

[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] Bodisson:
Yes, it rotates, and as it was stated somewhere else, not very stable in portrait position.

But it will do...

[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] Zarrick19:
Nillkin Smart Case for 8€ just arrived! Will upload the video later (slow bandwidth).

- the back feels a bit cheap and fragile, but it survived my "stress test" so it might be OK. The front cover feels great, you will need a bit more effort to bend it (to those three parts) so it can back to it straight form.

It lacks magnets (to hold the front cover in position), but for 8€ it's still a great deal.

Anyway, I'd be happy to negotiate to a satisfactory outcome for the both of us. Only really interested in the leather case, but I guess you want rid of everything as a job lot anyway?

Allo there.

I'm interested in the leather case. I'm from Portugal. How much for this one, plus shipping?
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] fettfan:
Just want to throw this case into the ring:

I bought the Fintie Smartshell from Amazon for around $30 (of course it's now 1/3 the price I paid a few weeks ago). It has a hard backing that the tablet snaps into. It holds really good and I have no fear of the tablet coming out unless I drop it or something drastic like that.

The cover has a magnet that works well. It also puts the tablet to sleep/wakes it up when closing/opening so no need to press the power button.

All holes are in the right spot. I did have issue getting an audio adapter to plug all the way in, but it was more of the adapters fault. It wasn't a pair of headphones mind you, it was a cord I use to plug the tablet into a receiver. Any modern set of headphones should plug in fine.

By folding the cover you can stand the tablet at an angle for watching video or what ever. If you flip the tablet 180 degrees and fold the cover it then sits at a slight angle which would be handy for typing...however, it really didn't sit that well in this position. The folds kept wanting to collapse. It stays up just fine in the vertical, video watching position.

Edit: forgot to mention that the case does not have an opening for the SD card, but a lot of cases don't.

So there you go.

NOTE: This is the Smartshell by Fintie, not the Folio Case.

I bought the same and was surprised how nice it is for under $7.00 :)
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] meanoc:
Anyone using this case be careful. I had mine inside a soft gel case and somehow the magnetic catch let go and the inside of the metal plate scrapped the $hit out of my screen. Luckily I had a screen protector on other wise I would be really upset. Not a very good design on that part, otherwise the case is working very well and is quite the bargain.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] galaxys:
Just received mine and you're absolutely correct. In fact I will not risk it and removed that piece of metal.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] meanoc:
I hope you didn't remove it as if you did the cover will not stay in place. I cut a small piece of 3M Di Noc and covered it. Good luck :good:

I've improvised and it's all good for now. I have the greatshield VIES neoprene sleeve case on order! :)
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] meanoc:
I have a lot of Di Noc left if you want to reattach the piece and cover it. It actually looks good :) I don't have experience with the VIES but I tried 4 other cases and to me this is the best. I have a brand new in the package Amzer TPU case if your interested. Bought two and never used the second as I bought the Fintie. In case your wondering why I bought so many cases, my friend bought a G Pad off me so we both needed cases.

a really slim and compct case

Hi I'm looking for a really slim and compact case.

I'd like it's dimensions not to be wider than 21,4 x 13,5 x 1,6 cm

...the smaller the better...

Even a front cover case will be a must.

Keyboard?

I have seen 2 keyboard type cases that i am looking at and wondering which one would be best.

I am debating between the fintie and navitech. I like the navitech because i would think i can use the existing case i have on there and it looks super easy to detach from the tablet in case i dont want the keyboard hanging around. However, it looks like from the pictures that were posted previously by another user that the gpad is larger than the keyboard and that would drive me NUTS! Anyhow, looking for opinions on those that have them. here are the links:

http://www.amazon.com/Navitech-Slim...yboard/dp/B00HZGQ5EM/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

http://www.amazon.com/Fintie-Blade-PAD-Keyboard-Case/dp/B00LAUFYKA/ref=cm_cd_al_qh_dp_t
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] 5warafat1:
I the the navitech keyboard. It's easy to attach and also makes the g pad look like a laptop. Only downside is that it's wider then the g pad and also shorter in length. As it's made for I pad mini.

The second link keyboard doesn't really attach to the tablet. It just sits on the cover.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] carrman17:
I bought the fintie case and am impressed with it so far. The quality is great. It doesn't feel very cheap and the faux leather is durable and comfortable. The keyboard is thin and attaches magnetically to the case. The only bad thing about it is the size of the keyboard. Sure, it matches the size of the gpad but it's a little bit small for my big hands (I'm 197cm. About 6 ft. 5). BUT I am actually getting used to it and can type pretty fast. It's definitely not a deal breaker. I would recommend it. I bought the light blue one and it doesn't look too cheesy or cute with the black keyboard and actual tablet holder. Looks great! I skipped out on buying text books this semester and bought the gpad and some ebooks instead. Definitely the way to go :P

Very nice case. Don't know what the reviewer is complaining about on Amazon. Mine fits great, easy access to buttons and ports and does not obstruct the screen. Magnets hold cover closed and puts tablet to sleep. Feels very premium. Very good case so far, especially for the price.

I just received the VOIA Premium Standing Case that I ordered from Amazon. The fit is excellent, the color is exactly what I expected, the magnetic cover is perfect, but the standing feature seems terribly ineffective.

It is made out of some sort of textured nylon or plastic. It actually feels great in the hand. I just wish that the stand worked better.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] erwaso:
Whoa that looks dope!
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] opasha:
As, promised, here are the pictures of the VOIA Hard Slim Case and the VOIA Jelly Case. I don't recommend the Hard Slim. 1) The top and bottom and almost the screen are too exposed. There isn't much of a lip to protect the screen. 2) The cutouts don't seperate the volume and power buttons. I don't like this because I tend to mix the two up when looking for them quite often. 3) Zero protection and quite slippery.

The Jelly case really is a stronger TPU than a Jelly. I was quite surprised. When you put it on the LG G Pad, it hugs it perfectly and feels like a hard case. The grip is obviously way better and it feels more premium. It also has a lip that protects the screen if laid flat. It also seperates the volume and power buttons nicely. There is enough of a bevel to not accidentally hit them either, which I really appreciate. Also, the speaker cutouts are a little wider, which is good. The cutouts are all perfect. Hands down, I recommend you guys get the Jelly case. It's way nicer, feels more solid, and maintains the slim factor. I'm very happy with it. It doesn't add much weight either.

Is the Jelly/TPU worth the $20 ?
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] opasha:
Yes, I think it is. I usually am very careful with my products and don't want them to get dirty or scratched. With this TPU, I don't feel that anymore. It's quite protective and feels very good. Also, comes in many nice colors. I have white so I obviously got white. The other colors look solid though. I'm kind of tempted to get something cooler looking, lol.

I have a friend who has bought lg gpad and looking for a case now. I am wondering if the VOIA premium case is stable enough to hold it together when using it as there is no lip surrounding the edges to keep it in place. Could you tell me if the case feels stable enough when holding it with one hand?
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] Warp11:
The G Pad is very secure in the VOIA Premium Standing Case. There is enough of a lip so that it is clipped in and will NOT be falling out.

I love the overall feel...soft nylon would be the best description. The method in which the cover folds into a stand is my only gripe.

[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] weboide:
Hey warp11, can you elaborate on why it does not work as well when standing?
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] Warp11:
The standing feature of this case consists of just folding a small portion of the front cover. There are no grooves or slots in the back, which leaves only one viable standing position. The G Pad needs to be in a fairly vertical orientation, or it wants to flop onto it's back.

This will work fine at home, but not on an airplane. I attached a photo earlier, but here it is again.
