[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] DJ_Headshot:
The first one looks like it's the same case I bought for my g pad 8.3 I bought it on Amazon and took a risk as it only had 2 reviews albeit positive and this was one of the cheaper cases but it looked good in the image and had all the features I wanted as well with the bonus of a stylus.

Visually it looks good to me in person not real leather but looks like it and feels nice enough on the fingers don't really have any complaints there especially for the price I wouldn't feel ashamed taking my g pad out in public with this case on it also has a lot of other useful features that I'll discuss more in depth below.

It has a smart cover where the screen turns off automatically when you close it and on automatically when you open it which is really convenient. The built in stand is nice to have but limited as you can't adjust the angle but I'd rather have a fixed angle stand then no stand and you can always prop stuff underneath to change angle.

The stylus is a nice addition I like to use it over my fingers at time the problem is it's a pain to get securely in the holder as it's a tight fit and the soft tip makes it difficult to get in I'm stretching it out with a large sharpy pen which will hopefully make it easier to insert while still being tight enough to securely hold it in place.

So if your looking for a cheap case that looks good and offers a lot of useful features you can't go wrong with this case imo. Here is the link to the case I bought from Amazon comes in a lot of colors I got the black one.

Thanks for the info.

It doesnt seem like the same case though...if you look closely you will see that your case has stiches on the inside of the front cover while the one that i posted doesnt....on mine the LG sign is seen while yours it looks like its covered.

Anyway your case seems like a really good one for that price (judging by the pictuere i assume its better quality then the one i posted)...to bad that european amazons (.de, it, co.uk) dont offer it...otherwise i would definately give it a try.

I think im just going to buy the one from casewill... i saw that someone was very pleased with it a few posts back. I`ll post my "review" once i receive it...but since i ordered it with free shipping...and the shipment will come from China judging by experiance and earlier posts i think ill have to wait a month before it arrives ;)
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] rvdgeer:
Just ordered the official/original LG Quickpad Case from a Dutch web store (Wehkamp) for about €40,- (shipping included).

Should be arriving within 24 hours.

Will let you know if it's the real deal.

Thanks, bookmarking page, I look forward to a review as this is a great price if this is the official case :)
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] _d3_:
By the item EAN its not the official LG cover, but the VOIA premium case.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] rvdgeer:
Yep, you were right.

Turned out to be the Voia case.

It's going back soon.

IVSO case

Hi all, I just recieved my IVSO case from Amazon, at first I wasn't too sold on it, but all the other case offerings didn't appeal to me.

First off I recommend this case, the impression is nice, the feel is good, functions well, and foremost protects my tablet. After not having a case for 1 month and babying my gpad vs having one is a huge difference. Now I just slam that sucker on the table.

I tend to have sweaty hands when I hold controllers or handheld devices for long periods, so the brushed aluminum backing was slippery, but the fake leather has remedied that completely, and the cover folds into a triangle for a better grip.

The case adds a certain heft to the tablet, making it feel substantial but I'd still consider light.

The triangle mag cover is nice, giving it two landscape viewing angles (upright at 30 degrees as in pictures, and lower 20 degree angle-> think position of propped up keyboard)

only downsides are that the metal latch which has been reported to scratch the screen, so just put a piece of tape under it. And the sound holes are blocked but the case sort of muffles the clarity but amplifies the volume, then again the sound isnt amazing on this tablet to begin with.

all in all great case if you need one.

I just got a case off ebay

Item: Ultra Slim Tri-Fold Leather Case Cover for LG G Pad 8.3" V500 Tablet

URL: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=251418298309

It has the smart case screen off function and is available in many colours.

It cost me $15.99 Australian dollars.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] caudex:
I have this one, but in Blue.

It is a good fit, and also has smart case magnets to turn screen on and off.

I bought mine off Ali Express.

---------- Post added at 10:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 AM ----------

The reason I didn't buy this one is because there is heaps of reports on the web saying there is Quality Control issues in regards to fit (where the front cover is slightly larger than the pad) and the metal bit sometimes comes in contact with the LCD screen possibly making scratches on the screen or the screen protector.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] RobilarOCN:
It definitely has issues. They are all made by the same supplier and rebranded, Asuxtek, Ivso etc. The top flap is definitely too big. I tried a piece of tape on the metal latch and it helps a bit but carrying the case in one hand you can feel the top slide back and forth as you hold. Very annoying. I stuck with the VOIA which despite not having a magnetic close, is a much better quality case. I'd order the LG Quickcase if I could find it anywhere in Canada but given I just pre-ordered the new Samsung Tab Pro 8.4, I figured there was no point.

IVSO better than VOIA

I now own the voia and the ivso cases and they are both great, I'm going to stick with the ivso though as even though it's thicker than the voia and not as pretty it actually works as a stand and has the screen on off magnetic function. These features give the ivso the edge for me.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] cmscritic:
Love my ivso case. Best one I've owned.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] RandomChance:
I picked up the IVSO case from Amazon as well.

http://www.amazon.com/VSTN®LG-Ultra...d=1391435272&sr=1-10&keywords=case+g+pad+ivso

I like this one better than the other one I had (one of the leather-ish MoKo style cases) . Its slimmer, has stronger magnets holding it closed, and once you figure out how to fold the cover it stands pretty good also. Probably doesn't provide as much drop protection, but it feels better in the hand, at least to me. :)
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] mabil:
I have found a cheaper case similar to this on ebay (sorry I can't post an outside link). The case is around 10 - 13€

I think that this are the type of cases I need for home and to travel.

Which are the characteristic you think I have to consider to buy a case for my LG Pad?

I have think this may be the most important:

- Headphones opening

- Magnets to open and close the case

- Any other?

Also, do you think I could find the other case on some pages like "Amazon Spain" or similar?

Thanks!
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] ro_explorer:
I received this yesterday - great case for a great tablet :). I had exactly the same model on my Nexus 7 and it prooved to provide a great functionality.

The quality of this case is definitely in the "premium" pool from look, protection and functionality points of view.

The only down-sight is that it can be uncomfortable in certain games - but for those situations you just pull it off the case and that's it.

maybe is not stylish or fancy but protection is on higest level and fit just perfect

enjoy the view :)

ps. but maybe finaly someone find some good stuff not to small like almost all 7" and 8" cases and not to big like almost all 10" cases
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] Victoria75001:
These aren't a bad fit for the G Pad with a case on it (the IVSO for mine). They're just right in length, a little too wide, but certainly nowhere near as much as a 10" case would be. They're available from several sellers on Ebay with other designs if you don't like the ones in the link.

what case do you have on your tablet?
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] lipaaa:
Is VOIA case that was free addon when I buyed Gpad

that one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-G-Pad-8-...S1V500-Slim-Cover-for-Tablet-PC-/181246037752

but I want to replace that with VOIA jelly case, I don't like cover cases.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] b1narydigit:
Went ahead and bought this one. It fits very snugly and has a premium look and feel to it. My gripe is that the front doesn't fold back flush with the back making it quite uncomfortable to hold. Not particularly happy with it because of this...
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] rushnit:
Just got the Moko case on Amazon. Great fit, pretty thin, and no scratching the screen.

$6 case:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AASPQLU/ref=pe_385040_30332190_TE_M3T1_ST1_dp_1

Seems to work. Not space saving when in upright mode, but you can also ham fist the tablet and still have it stay upright in portrait/landscape mode. Also plenty of air behind the unit for cooling and not muffling the speakers.

Down side are it's alittle hard/snug to get into portrait mode and depending on how it sits in the flapps/hooks it can block the home buttons alittle.

Other than that everything is neoprene, its got a lip so the zipper never touches the unit. The flapps/hooks are also made of a really stiff neoprene rubber that wont scratch the unit. Finally the zipper is either nylon or some other bead plastic, but it would be really hard to scratch the screen with it. Still better then a metal zipper.

Just won the NIlikin Sparkle case on eBay - anyone have this one yet?

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/GENUINE-NILL...eyboard_Folios&var&hash=item2c7dcaaada&_uhb=1

For around $7, I'm not going to complain (they've got a bunch with $0.01 start bids). Looks like a slightly refined version of the generic IVSO, might be a bit slimmer and/or lighter, with a smart on/off feature but without magnets on the edge to keep it closed.

I have the generic TPU X-Case + screen protector and really like it, but I've been wary of dropping the tablet anyway as I take the tab to work every day and walk around with it a lot outside my office. So we'll try this out - will review when I get it. :)

For those waiting for the official LG case, it looks like Verizon has them.

They also seem to have a no name case that not too bad.

[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] rfarrah:
I was short on time and about to travel so I didn't have many options after the failed IVSO case. Decided to go with VZW's in-store Incipio case.

It is very slim. No magnets, just a simple loop/strap for closure. So far so good (2 days). The good news is that it really FITS, as opposed to the IVSO, which did not, for me. As always, YMMV.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] mched:
Does it have openings on the back for the speakers and the top for the SD slot and when you open the cover does it turn on the tablet?
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] rfarrah:
No, yes, and no.

I already have the IVSO case and like it, but it is a little thicker than I'd prefer, so I just ordered the Nillkin hoping it's thinner while providing the same overall form factor. At $10 shipped, it's worth checking out. Now I just have to wait a month for it to be delivered!

Oho, they've finally posted the style of flip case I wanted on eBay! IN a smattering of fancy new colours to boot and a different magnet placement than the IVSO style seen before.

Too bad I already won the Nillkin Sparkle case, which seems thinner but comes without cover magnets.. Not regretting it, but the timing is creepy as always. :P

"Heat Setting Leather Stand Case Skin Holder Cover For 8.3 inch LG G pad"

I ordered this case from ebay and waiting for it to be delivered (sorry I am new with the forum and I can't post the link). Thought about getting the genuine cover but that was too expansive and black and white colors were out of stock and I didn't like that nillkin case covers the speaker.

I'll upload the review later when it arrives.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] mastiandroid5:
Thanks for the link, I ordered it and received the case today. I had ordered for a BLACK case, and sadly, they have shipped a white case. It took more than 15 days to receive it in India. I mailed to the vendor, got to see what action they can take.

Will post the pics from home.

NILLKIN LG G Pad 8.3 (V500) case pictures and smart case video

I have a GPE edition (v510) and bought the case from dx-box: http://dx-box.com/nillkin-new-sparkle-leather-case-for-lg-g-pad-8-3.html

Costed me $16.89 for the case and an additional $2towards shipping.

The case fits perfectly fine on the V510 edition.

Here are some pics of the case:

Tablet case and unpacking

Tablet and the case

The back portion is translucent and made of hard shell.

There are slots for the speakers at the back

Tablet fits in perfectly in the case

Power and volume control slots

3.5mm headphone jack; also notice that microSD card slot is covered.

Tablet resting with the case folded back

After long usage as a stand, the first piece of the triangle takes time to retain shape

You could check out the video showing the smart case functionality here:

I had asked for a black case, and received a white case. It looks fine, and I hope it doesnt attract too much dust. Other than this, I am totally happy with the case.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] Impromark:
Thanks! This looks even slimmer than the IVSO and the smart on/off feature is good. I'm a little worried as to how much scratching the back will take, but I'm hoping the black version (for my own black tablet) will help cover such things up.

[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] cigero:
i also bought this cover, but mine is black (or something like that, the back looks like a dark green military, but anyway looks fine). If someone needs i can upload some photos

P.S. i bought it on ebay, you just search for nillkin lg g pad. I paid it on 6th march and recevied on 31st march
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] Impromark:
Mine was from eBay and shipped on the 10th, but I live in Canada; with any luck though I may get it within a week if your yardstick is any indication. :)

Dark green? You mean the rear shell is tinged greenish? I'd be interested in seeing what you mean.. I was hoping for an opaque black, but I know it's transleucent...

Have used the case extensively over the long weekend, throwing around in backpack, between books, along with keys, coins, etc. There was no scratches at all. And case looks solid.

Hi,

How much does the Nillkin case weigh please? Is there a latch/magnet/some other method to keep the lid shut?

I've got the ISVO case but at 160 grams it makes the G Pad 8.3 really heavy, although it is well built. I'm considering getting the VOAI case but it's twice the price (and crucially over the UK customs threshold) as the Nillkin case.

I think the VOAI case is 110 grams.

Thanks

There are a few in China and Hong Kong. I find you have to be so careful buying from China not to get ripped off etc...
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] Pixore:
I think VOIA Case is the best for our LG G Pad.

Fintie Folio/Smartshell Cases

Just ordered Fintie case from Amazon. I can't post links yet; you can find it by searching for Fintie LG G PAD 8.3 Folio Case.

$9 with Prime shipping seemed like a safe bet until I find something better. Looks exactly like the other leather cases posted earlier in the thread. Will post a review here once I get it.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] Planterz:
I've got the same case, also direct from China. Took about a week. I went this route because I was scraping for pennies that week and couldn't afford the IVSO from Amazon with shipping (nor could afford to spend more on something else to get the Super Saver free shipping).

I find the case works well enough. Getting it to stand properly might take a few tries before it "sets" and stays. The wake/sleep works perfectly, and all the buttons/ports/slots/etc are open. You don't even have to unplug it to remove it from the case.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] fallenturtle:
It doesn't seem like any of the big names in rugged case design have anything for this device. We're going to be letting our toddler use this tablet (under supervision) but toddlers are toddlers so I'm looking for the best case to protect from bumps and falling. Is that going to be just a simple TPU case? I saw that thing by Ballz, but that looks a little too unwieldy. Looking for suggestions. Thanks.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] Impromark:
Here's the generic one that I use:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BV0AN_YhXpw

No complaints, I've dropped it a couple times and it's just fine. I still generally don't let my toddler near it (she gets my old Galaxy Player), but when she does touch it, I'm fairly confident that it won't break. :P

[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] SCWells72:
I've now tried out three different cases for my G Pad GPA, the MoKo slim folding cover case, the IVSO ultra-lightweight slim smart cover, and the Nillkin ultra-thin smart cover. While they all have their pros and cons, the MoKo is my least favorite because it's the most bulky. The IVSO has the best quality, but it's a little thicker and heavier than I'd prefer, especially given how thin and light the G Pad is without a cover. The Nillkin is a little thinner and feels quite a bit lighter, but it lacks a magnetic clasp to hold the cover shut, and it feels less stable when used as a stand (which I do all the time). I also think the IVSO's black looks significantly better than Nillkin's "sparkly" gray. The IVSO also does a better job of giving the speakers (a little!) breathing room when set up as a stand, though the G Pad's speaker placement makes that a difficult proposition with any case/cover!

I guess my perfect cover would be the IVSO with the Nillkin's size and heft. Given that that's not happening, I'm probably going to try the Nillkin for a few days and then decide whether I want to keep the IVSO or the Nillkin, then I might throw the MoKo and whichever of the smart covers I decide not to keep up for sale.

Hope this helps!
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] Impromark:
Is the lack of a magnetic cover on the Nillkin a big deal? I have yet to receive mine, but I'm only slightly worried that the cover will flop open all the time..

Mark
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] SCWells72:
Probably not. I've had smart covers for other devices that didn't have magnetic clasps and they stay seated pretty well. Having said that, after getting accustomed to a magnetically-clasped cover in the form of the IVSO, it does seem a little strange to see the cover sitting up a little bit or even flapping around more than I'd expect. Also, in case it wasn't clear, the Nillkin does act as a smart cover and the sensor seems to be near the "spine" of the cover, so it would have to come almost completely open for the screen to turn on.

Verizon Folio case?

Has anyone bought the Verizon Folio case, or seen it in person? I can't post links yet, so just add www[dot]

verizonwireless.com/accessories/verizon-folio-for-lg-g-pad-8-3-lte-black

It looks really similar to the Devicewear Ridge case (google it, or search on Amazon).

I had a Nexus 7 for a while (screen was too small) and this case was just perfect, but they don't make one for the LG G Pad. I Like that the part of the case that closes over the screen never touches the surface you're placing it on.

I'll probably see if they have this case in the store and I'll report back once I've tried it. I have an IVSO case already, so I'll be able to compare the two. Just waiting for my LG G Pad GPE to arrive!
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] rfarrah:
I have the Verizon case. It is made by Incipio. Works pretty well, but I haven't figured out all of it's "four angles for viewing and one for typing" configurations.
