I'm going to buy the original LG Book cover. It's 35 euros in the Netherlands. I think it's a bit too expensive, considering it's not leather. Should've been more closer to 20 euros But the G Pad is probably not popular, so there aren't many choices at all.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] cbb77:
Just received the VOIA Standing case in Black. It is a nice case. Has a nice feel and keeps the slim profile of the G Pad. My only grip thus far is that the cover does not seem to have a strong enough magnet where it stays closed. It does turn on the screen and shut off upon opening and closing, however I expected that it would stay shut on its own. My appears to flop open if I don't pick up via the right side. For those with the Standing case, does yours behave the same way?
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] ZankerH:
Anyone found the official cover or the IVSO slim on eBay/any website that does international shipping? Was going to get it but it's only on Amazon.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] ASW1:
Where/ which shop can you get it from?

It's actually the one made by VOIA, just found that out. But I think it's a official licensed case, as you can see they even used the original font on the case, "for G Pad 8.3".

I hope I didn't get your hopes up for the "Quickpad case", which is shown on the LG website. Anyway, I already ordered it, will receive it tomorrow.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] marcolorenzo:
Okay, I don't know about anyone else but I'm getting a bit tired of people calling this the "Officially Licensed Case". The VOIA Standing Case is not officially licensed nor is it the LG Quickpad case. Read previous posts and get your facts straightened out before you get people's hopes up. You don't have to dig deep, you will find people claiming this followed by others correcting them just in the last 2 pages.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] bobby-c:
Chill out dude. I already said in my post that it is NOT the Quickpad case. I thought it was a official or a officially licensed case, because the internetstore says so and uses the original font on the case and doesn't mention VOIA at all. And in my original post, I said "the LG Bookcover" and not "LG Quickpad case".
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] marcolorenzo:
I don't want this to get blown out of proportion, it's no big deal, but in your original post, you said it's the "original" LG Book cover which can be very misleading. I know this is what it says on their website and it's not your fault. I guess I just jumped the gun a bit because yesterday, someone said that they found the original Quickpad case being sold in Hong Kong for $20 when it was clearly the VOIA case once again. And now after seeing your post, I guess I became irritated, sorry!

BTW, I ordered one of these VOIA cases too :)
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] Impromark:
I'm sure many of us would be interested in pictures of these VOIAs in action. The marketting pics don't show much of the solidity and how the stand works - it looks pretty bouncy, actually. Please post if you can!

Mark
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] ASW1:
It's already been posted here and if you could be bothered to read this topic then you would already know.

So no, I'm not interested in the VOIA case because it's not stable.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] Impromark:
I knew of the earlier pictures; thanks for the attitude, I'm sure everyone enjoys it.

I was more specifically asking about the case in the SHALLOW stand mode, where it looks "bouncy" because of how it's bent backwards in the marketing pics. Admittedly my bad for the lack of detail, I hope the clarification satisfies everyone.

Mark
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] marcolorenzo:
Yeah, I'm a bit curious about that position too, since it seems that to achieve either positions, the flap would have to be on different sides, unless I'm looking at it the wrong way.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] SCWells72:
Poetic replied and said they aren't currently planning a Slimline for the G Pad. Of course, now that Google is selling the hardware, that may be subject to change!
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] InfinitiGuy:
Google is selling the hardware? Which one?
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] Defiant81:
Google Play..

I have my suspicion that we'll see some "official" accessories including a case soon not that google is selling this tablet* via the google play store.

Google play edition is exactly the same as the "normal" LG one except for the OS
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] SCWells72:
I mean Google is now selling a GPE version of this tablet, so I bet we see better accessory support.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] InfinitiGuy:
That's great news, I wasn't aware of that.

Yes, that will hopefully bring additional development and accessories to this tablet.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] Impromark:
Ordered one of these:

[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] rebski:
The LG specific case was on the LG web site earlier today. Available in a variety of colours, magnetic attachment and the front cover doubles as a stand. It didn't stay up for long though and has since disappeared.

No doubt it will return.

Or maybe I was dreaming:confused:
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] weboide:
Last week I had ordered the IVSO Slim-Book Stand Cover Case, and received it in only 7 days (even though they estimated it as 6 weeks).

I like the overall feel, it feels like a decent quality case. The faux leather is quite nice but seems like it could wear down and crack or tear. The fit is very snug and there is *almost* no screen area that is covered. I say almost because it's really close, it depends on how well you manage to fit it in.

I chose the white to match my white G pad. The white is not quite the same white as the tablet, but it looks pretty good.

The stand works as it should, although it is hard to pull the little tab out. Maybe because the faux leather is still stiff.

The hand strap is really nice, although you still need to have your hand reach the right side of the tablet to hold it in place so that the tablet "part" is not tilting back and forth. There might be other ways of holding it that I haven't figured out yet. (EDIT: actually I think the better way of holding it folding the flap in a small triangle and resting your thumb on the left of the case, next to the tablet, see picture #10)

This comes with a magnet in the flap, so it turns on/off when opening/closing. And also comes with a regular pen with a tactile/capacitive ball on one end, which you can use to tap on the tablet, that works pretty good.

Here are some pictures I took.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] SCWells72:
The MoKo was delivered to me today:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DLZWCV6/ref=pe_385040_30332190_TE_M3T1_ST1_dp_1

It's not bad, but not really my kind of tablet case. I figured it's worth the $15 or so to prevent scratching/breaking the device until the IVSO one gets here next month:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GSK46D8/ref=pe_385040_30332190_TE_3p_M3T1_ST1_dp_1

That one looks almost exactly like the Poetic SlimLine that I have on my Nook HD+ right now, so hopefully the quality will be similar when it does arrive.

Anyway, if folio cases/covers are your thing, the quality of the MoKo is a decent option, but it's a little bulky for my tastes, especially given how thin the tablet is by itself.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] NJ_RAMS_FAN:
I wish moko made one for this like the slim ones they make for Samsung.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] RobilarOCN:
I ordered the VOIA from Amazon. Being in Canada, the only one I could get was the Asuxtek through Amazon but they indicated it would take 35 days to deliver... (I assume a boat from China).

This one cost quite a bit ($39) but it's slim, black and made in Korea (so hopefully it fit's precisely). Plus they deliver within 3 days so it should be in within the next day (as will my tablet).

Apparently I am not allowed to post a pic of it.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] cbb77:
Looks like Incipio is about to release a case for the G Pad. I stumbled upon this ebay posting while browsing for cases.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Incipio-LG-G-Pad-8-3-Lexington-Hard-Shell-Folio-Case-Black-/231114129899?pt=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item35cf79c1eb

Didn't believe it at first and thought it was a mix up but then googled the model number listed: LGE-223-BLK and came up with a few vendors listing the same thing. Looks like it's targeted to sell for about $30 - $40. Here's a link to the iPad Mini model for reference to what it will probably look like.

[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] Sean09:

Original LG G PAD 8.3 CASE

you can buy it on emag.ro or emag.hu

price is 22-23 euros.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] muffnman:
Looks like the IVSO case is now available fulfilled by Amazon with Prime shipping. That totally sucks.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] RobilarOCN:
Depends on your use. I like the have the tablet sitting in vertical mode on a desk occasionally for reading and no slim case will do that.

I grabbed one of these off amazon for $4. It folds up, weighs next to nothing and you can position a tablet securely. If the VOIA doesn't stand well it won't matter with one of these.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] marcolorenzo:
So I just received my VOIA Premium Standing Case. I'll just put up a couple of pictures since Warp has done a great job already, but I will mention that the case also came with two non-slip patches for you to attach to the Power+Volume Up/Down side of the case so that it won't slip when it's standing:

The instruction actually only said to attach one in the middle but since they provided two, I thought a bit of extra grip won't hurt! I noticed Warp doesn't seem to have attached them. Perhaps some people forgot to attach this? Or they only just started to offer these because they got complaints? When this is attached, the tablet is extremely stable and won't slip at all in any of the "standing" positions unless you're trying to make it almost 180.

But if you need an only slightly inclined position, then there's this option too:

All in all, I am extremely happy with this case. It feels like a premium case which does the G Pad justice, looks great and fit the device perfectly. Only thing I don't like is that because the flap has to bend a little for the different standing positions, it seems to make it slightly open when just lying down. Not a big deal and certainly doesn't wake the device up, just diminishes what is otherwise a perfect case IMO.

By the way, for international buyers, I recommend buying from: http://www.ebay.com/itm/181246037752

They're about $18 more than Amazon but shipping is free and I received it in 11 days. On the other hand, Amazon was gonna charge me almost $50 to ship to Switzerland which is just outrageous for a small package like this. So depending on where you live, definitely have a look and factor in the shipping costs. They also included a little satchel of Korean green tea and a mini USB/Full USB cable. A nice touch!

IVSO/VSTN sleep/wake not working

These two covers are the same thing. In fact my invoice from Vostrostone called the item "VSTN" but it has "IVSO" on the metal accent on the front cover.

Amazon.com: IVSO Slim Smart Cover Case for LG G PAD 8.3 Edition Tablet with Auto Sleep/Wake Function (Black): Computers & Accessories - http://amzn.com/B00GSK46D8

Amazon.com: VSTN®LG G Pad 8.3 Ultra-Thin Multi-angle Stand Slim Smart Cover Case(For LG G Pad 8.3, Black): Computers & Accessories - http://is.gd/YtBFIg

Very happy with cover. Fit and finish are good. Outside material is nice without being so leather-like I'd worry about damage from everyday use. Also, while it took a while to process the order (waiting for stock from China?), once they shipped it came fast so I'm assuming they are warehoused stateside now. It wasn't supposed to arrive until January.

Magnet closure is secure. "Multi-angle" is kind of a joke but no better or worse than other cases I've had with this design. However sleep/wake isn't working for me. Am I missing something?
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] MarkLI88:
I just received the IVSO. It took a while to get here I ordered it on Nov. 27th and just received it today. I am happy with the quality, it fits well and looks good. I like the back of the case it actually has a nice texture and feel to it.The magnetic screen wake feature works as it should.

I do not have, but believe they mentioned the Jelly case was a better alternative and provided more protection. I personally have the Jelly case and can definitely recommend it. I like that it covers all side and has a lip on top to protect the screen when you place face down. Although it says Jelly I really a little stiff and not like some of those rubbery ones you find on ebay. Again I recommend it.

I ordered the IVSO Slim Smart Cover through Aliexpress more than 2 weeks ago and they still haven't shipped it. Has anybody ordered from this vendor and actually received it? I'm thinking about trying to cancel and order from Amazon.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] ASW1:
I would cancel it and get it from somewhere else.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] Sean09:
I've had terrible luck with Aliexpress and people not shipping quickly at all. I think they just list it, accumulate orders, and eventually ship when they hit a high number to save them money.

As for cases, Ebay has more jelly cases in stock, and variety is growing. Picked up a lime green Jelly for $20 shipped. Also, Aliexpress seems to have a lot of lower priced TPU cases now - $5 for a clear/smoke basic case, and $6ish for an X-line tpu. Not bad! Prices and variety are certainly changing in our favor!
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] ASW1:
If you click that same case now on aliexpress it says it's not available.

Transaction History & Feedback are not encouraging either, I most doubt whether any case did or will get shipped.

Just got my VOIA in. Fits like a glove. Very nice texture to the finish. Fingerprint resistant and very non slip.

Cover is not magnetic shut although there is a magnet in it somewhere that auto shuts on and off. It came with two adhesive non slip pads for stand reinforcement.

Expensive but really the best case out right now for the G Pad.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] marcolorenzo:
There's a little round magnet located on the inside of the flap, near the hinge towards the middle. If they had positioned it where the flap opens from, it might be able to cling on better. Oh well, I haven't had any situations where it would open by itself yet. Still very happy with it!
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] MarkLI88:
Yes I ordered the case on Amazon from Gambolex.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] cbb77:

IVSO Slim Smart Case in black arrived yesterday from Amazon. Fits perfectly, all the cutouts line up, and it seems well made. Reasonably stable in both stand positions. Has a magnetic closure that holds well and turns the screen on and off when it opens and closes. I actually like the way the black case looks with the white phone.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] rjrobins:
The lip isn't large by any means. It's about the size of a 3x5 index card thickness.I'm very happy with the case. It has all the right cutouts and fits the tablet like a glove. If it drops, the slight lip will protect it. Plus, I don't have to open a cover when I want to use!

I've been staring for a while now at the photo above,

but I don't have a clue of what I'm looking at?
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] ghetto4eva2k:
That's a near flat view of the screen with the case on. Looks like the lip of the cover is negligible which to me is a good thing for home use because i don't like my cases too bulky. I wouldn't trust taking it outside though. Looks like uneven pavement would have a field day on the screen if dropped.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] rjrobins:
You are correct, it is a near flat view of the screen with the case on it. I have actually dropped it on the ground and it holds the tablet perfectly. The lip is large enough to elevate it from the ground. A rock though would do a number. Here's another view:
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] coldbeverage:
thanks a bunch! Is it really sticky like a typical tpu case?
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] rjrobins:
Definitely not sticky. It's rubber and just wraps around the brushed aluminum back.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jianC:
Power down the phone, then hold "home" simultaneously while pressing the power button (end key). If the recovery that loads says "ClockworkMod" somewhere in the main menu, then it has CFW.

Yes, you need a custom recovery to install a custom rom. If you try to flash a custom rom with the stock recovery, it will not work since it is not signed with an official key.

Check out the development section and choose a rom that fits your needs/find interesting.
