The case does fold back about 180 degrees (which is what I assumed you meant) so you could hold it with one hand but I'm pretty sure once you try holding it that way you will find it awkward. This case is primarily good for typing with the keyboard or for propping up the tablet when you want to read a book our watch a video on it.

I don't feel comfortable using this case for everyday carrying around as it feels like the tablet will fall out of it at any moment. Also the keyboard isn't coated in silicone so it will scratch your screen eventually. Still, it is a good deal as it is useful for the 2 things I've mentioned and I will keep it. For everyday use I've ordered another case without a keyboard which got a rave review in another thread in the forum.

Can't find this seller on eBay...any more info regarding them?
[G Tablet Accessories] M 5hizzle:
I actually ordered one from this seller (Brooklyn).

Here's the item - Clicky
[G Tablet Accessories] y0chang:
The ebay Mshizzle use is the one I used. They sent me an email saying it was gonna be delayed but it arrived only a couple days later. It was quick, roughly 3-4 days and a US seller on the east coast.

Tip

If you order this case make sure you tell them in is for a GTAB! I am waiting to see what I get as I failed to do this:o
[G Tablet Accessories] M 5hizzle:
Yup, so far its been a good experience with them. I ordered it Saturday night, got an email at about 1:30am in the morning Monday saying it got shipped with a tracking number. Will post details when I get it on how the case worked out for me.
[G Tablet Accessories] heathge:
Ordered mine today. That and the rebate dock and I'll be set.

witglobal temp case/kb replacement ..

Until they get the custom made ones, they have offered the gtab users this one where the tabs are located in a non-obstructive way to the USB port (no velcros for the missing tab though).

Find it here, $25 shipped.
[G Tablet Accessories] M 5hizzle:
Wow. Well my case has already left my town's shipping facility, so should have it by later today. If it does, that makes Shipped Monday: Arrived Wednesday. Woo!
[G Tablet Accessories] M 5hizzle:
Udate:

Recieved mine today, pretty nice for the most part. Like most have experienced, it required a bit of modding to get the left clip into the right spot (moved it down a bit ofcourse to free up USB spot, but not too low to cover power etc.) Just a knife to pry open the side a bit (and cut new spot for clip to move into) some crazy glue, and some electrical tape (to clean up the cuts etc. so they don't look horrid) and within 10mins I was up and running! Stand is pretty sturdy, case as a whole is too. Keyboard worked right away but....

....the cable was too short :( but thats ok, just picked up a USB extender cable at a store for cheap in town. Once plugged in (with and without usb extra cable) worked GREAT with TNT 3.1x, even the FN - Home key takes to back to the launcher page and FN - End puts it to sleep. All in all, great buy!

Now just to take the pesky (retrackable) extending usb cable out of its mechanism and lay out the extra 2+ feet of cable in the hinge of the case between tab and keyboard.

If anyone has any questions for me just ask.
[G Tablet Accessories] basalt51:
What are the tabs made of? I just want to put a slot in the left one big enough to pass the USB through instead of moving it.
[G Tablet Accessories] M 5hizzle:
Tabs are made out of metal (with a thin layer of the cheap fake-leather ontop of it so it doesn't damage your tab). And making a slot in the tab would pretty much destroy its stability, as a usb plug is just barely smaller than the width of the tab itself. Moving it down was really easy honestly, would be waaay less work than trying to make a slot in the tab.
[G Tablet Accessories] y0chang:
All you do is split the two sides where u want to add the tab, cut a little away have the tab next to the GTab and put some glue if you want and slide your new tab into place. Its really easy, ntm I havent even glued my metal tab and its stays in. I placed my relocated tab at the top so that you have to slide it from the side which keeps the tablet in place more. I might post some pictures if anyone is confused.
[G Tablet Accessories] usafle:
Just ordered mine from them now. As I live about an hour north, I don't think it should take too long to get here. Not sure if I was supposed to mention that it's for a G-TAB or not on this seller?
[G Tablet Accessories] M 5hizzle:
Naw, I didn't say anything about the G-Tab, already new from the pictures and description that it was the one that everyone had been talking about in this thread, but from an american seller (couldn't wait for overseas shenanigans to get mine.) Yeah, you should get yours pretty fast, as mine shipped monday and arrived (on the west coast) on wednesday.
[G Tablet Accessories] thomasca:
Just got mine today and I have to say, I love it! A nice stand to keep it up on a desk, the keyboard feels good, and the clips ae nice in out of the way (on the one I got, anyway). Only issues is, if I hold it a certain way, the device will fall right out. They really should have added a fourth clip.

Also, is there anyway to shut off the onscreen keyboard when the keyboard on the case is plugged in?
[G Tablet Accessories] dharr18:
The one i received has a longer cable for the keyboard. I have a usb female to mini usb connector at work i am going to see if it will work with the keyboard.

I really like the keyboard. The arrow keys work as they should. I just wish the tabs on the case were in different spots without doing a mod.
[G Tablet Accessories] craigwillie:
My 2 Cents

I've been following this thread since the beginning but was hestitant to order because there seemed to be so many variations.

Finally ordered from Bestelectronics and received yesterday. I really like the case, the one I received has black stitching instead of white, which I think looks better.

As with all the cases the tabs were in the wrong place and the usb cable was too short to reach to the left side.

What I did was move the tab on the right side up about 1 inch and place the tab in the case upside down. This way the usb cable reaches and I don't have to play around with extension cords. The tab of course sets the screen to the proper orientation, so that is not an issue.

For those hesistant about modding the case, it only took about 10 minutes with a razor knife and a hot glue gun and was really easy.

Keyboard works great, I would like to find a way to disable the on-screen keyboard when the usb one is plugged in. Any ideas there?

NEW USB keyboard with Leather Case For 10" tablet PC

I ordered this one on EBAY, but haven't received it yet. I wonder if it is the same one everyone is talking about.
[G Tablet Accessories] aasoror:
Yup its the same, the only difference is there is a custom one being made now that should not need any tinkering around with the support tab.
[G Tablet Accessories] justauser:
Using the tab upside down

I also modded the case and moved the right atb up and use the device upside down. It works, but a few apps don't adjust correctly. For example, the stock email client doesn't properly orient. Also, in many apps the UP key mvoes down and vice versa. But I am happy using the keyboard when I need to write email and take notes.
[G Tablet Accessories] lordgodgeneral:
I just got mine today. Ordered from witglobal about a month ago. Needed no modifications!!! Left tab is even with the speaker so no problems accessing the USB port. Keyboard world great. Running vegan 5.1 and it recognized right away. Can use the arrow keys to choose icons on screen, escape key acts as back. For 26 bucks its great, had several ipad owners I work with green with envy.
[G Tablet Accessories] gksmith:
I got mine today. Just like the other recent cases, the left tab was moved down to be near the speaker so there is no conflict with the USB connector and the USB cable is more than long enough. I just wish there was something on the right edge to keep the tab from falling out.

BTW- I'm using it right now.

Sent from my G-Tablet running Vega-Nb5.1
[G Tablet Accessories] aasoror:
I guess they sent you that one below.
[G Tablet Accessories] xmr405o:
I hope they make one with a track pad too. That would be sweet!
[G Tablet Accessories] TeamSpeed:
I am using one of the revised ones as well. I am trying to learn all the keyboard mappings and how they relate to the gtab, for example how do you get page up and down to work? Is that a problem with this keyboard, or does the gtab just ignore page up/page down from all keyboards?
[G Tablet Accessories] skydve1:
I ordered mine on 01/04, and just got it yesterday - 01/20.

It's great. I got the one specifc to the Gtablet as shown a few posts above.

No modifications necessary!

Definately worth the $25.
[G Tablet Accessories] rob_z11:
Can you guys please post the pics? I wonder if those guys can modify something on the right side, so it gets bit more protection?
[G Tablet Accessories] Dawg Fan:
Well, mine came in today and the USB plug will not reach the USB plug-in on the Tab. So I can either return it or turn the Tab upside down so the USB will reach.
[G Tablet Accessories] usafle:
Mine won't reach either. Hence why I am going off to Best Buy tomorrow to by myself a little USB extension cable to reach it.

The case is far from perfect, but given the lack of options for us out there with a built in keyboard... I will deal with the little imperfection. That and it only cost $30 +/-!
[G Tablet Accessories] ketjr81:
there is a pic on the previous page, it has 4 tabs total, two on the bottom, one on the left right above the speaker and it covers the mini usb port and one on top.

the left side is open though so it can slide in that way.

I just got my case in today, everything works great! the usb cable just reaches so its nice, not too much slack and long enough to reach the port.

there is also a magnet in the middle, so when you unplug the usb and put it in the middle it will stay put.

Also a magnet for the stand and clip that helps keep it closed on the outside.

Im using the tnt stock enhancement and the keyboard plugs in and no problems at all typing. I havent tried any of the roms yet since im content with the enhancement so far. plus im new to the Android world.

Im pretty happy with this case, it does have a strong smell but that will probably go away since its new.

Ill just have to see what I can do about the right side of this, to ensure it wont come loose or something like that, the tabs do move so they can pinch the tablet a little bit to keep it firmly in place, but would feel better with an extra measure to keep it there though.

update: fyi mine is the keyboard and case from China.
[G Tablet Accessories] skydve1:
Some pics..

Here are 2 pics of the case I just received. This one was made for the G-tablet.

There are 4 clips - one at the top, one on the left, and two on the bottom.

The USB cable is plenty long. Works great!
[G Tablet Accessories] xmr405o:
Is that the one from Wits? I think that's what its called.
[G Tablet Accessories] skydve1:
Yes - here's the link.
[G Tablet Accessories] xmr405o:
I wonder what we the differences are from this one and the one that's going to be available on 2/20. This one looks fine.
[G Tablet Accessories] aasoror:
The one available on 2/20 wont have the left tab instead 4 velcros on the corners to secure the Gtab.
[G Tablet Accessories] simplyphp:
There are a lot of options out there. Cases made for other devices may hold the G Tablet, there are some cases made explicitly for the G Tablet, some cases use a usb wired keyboard, some cases have a bluetooth keyboard, etc. Before you spend the $10,20,30+ on a case, think about how you'll really be using your tablet. Do you need a kickstand? Do you want a zipper or button flap for making sure its secure? Are you going to always have the usb keyboard plugged in / will the usb cord reach when you want to type on your tablet with it? Would a bluetooth keyboard work better because it's wireless and you dont have to plug anything in/be constrained to only being able to use the keyboard when its in the case?

For me, a tablet is used at a desk, or walking around, or sitting on the toilet, or sitting in bed... but not writing a novel. I like the idea of the case with integrated keyboard, but at the same time I find it impractical for my uses.

I've got my desktop, a 17" laptop, a 11" "netbook" (obviously it's not as small as a normal netbook, it's an Alienware m11x, I tried 8 and 9" screens on netbooks and it dont work for me), this 10" tablet, and my Evo 4G phone. Each has their own purpose, and it seems kind of "funny" to try and make the tablet into something that really resembles a netbook or laptop.

I'm not saying anyone should or shouldn't get this, I got a bluetooth keyboard/touchpad combo and dock so I can sit on the couch and play Game Dev Story or SliceIt (and other time consuming games)..

Shop around before you buy, I saw some of these on ebay for $15-30. Nice leather case with kickstand, without the keyboard for $12. :D
[G Tablet Accessories] rob_z11:
Thanks for the pics,
[G Tablet Accessories] dharr18:
The adapter did not work. I ended up doing the mod, took all of 5 minutes with quick dry super glue. I was so proud of myself, I did not attach myself to the case. The table...different story.

Since I use my tablet as a reader quite regularly, it feels more comfortable reading having both sides of the book, it is just weird only reading the right hand pages. LOL
[G Tablet Accessories] skydve1:
The case I just received has no velcro. It's only got tabs/clips.
[G Tablet Accessories] aasoror:
Well we are not 2/20 yet are we ? :)
[G Tablet Accessories] seymour_butts:
Hi.. I bought this one for my tablet.

http://witglobal.com/goods.php?id=1846

it took about a month to get to Portugal. But it got here with no problems...

Im using vegan 5.1 and had to do nothing to make it work. Didn't had to apply that patch to disable the G sensor something :)

It's looks very nice, not badly build.. The keyboard is soft and US layout.

The usb cable is on the middle of the keyb so it may works if ur tablet has the usb port on the left or right... In G tablet case, since it's left, the cable is enough to connect, tho it's on top left.

it closes with magnet, and the little leg to get it in landscape also has a magnet, so it's good...

the only thing that bothers me is the size of the USB connector.. It's a regular one, so it's pretty big. Im gonna see if something can be made about that.

i leave some pictures of may tablet with it... any questions will be glad to answer..

Btw, if any one got a bluetooth mouse working, with no use of USB port, just by using tablet BT, i would love to know, since that's my next step, looking for a BT mouse :)
[G Tablet Accessories] arrow21:
I agree with this! I did get the case with the keyboard and find myself wishing it didnt have it or was removeable. I would just like a simple folio style that is thin and protects the gtab. Simple would be best. The malata case looks promising.
[G Tablet Accessories] reisa:
Another review

Maybe I'm a little late here - but here's my perspective after getting the case in the OP. It's made out of a plastic/PVC intended to look like leather. For the Gtab it takes a slight mod that you can do by:

- pulling apart the left hand side of the top gently. The stitching is cosmetic, and doesn't actually hold the stuff together.

- detach the clip lightly -- it's just a bracket attached to wide metal plate that's glued on the interior of the case lid.

- move the clip down about 1 inch, and use it to score the new location with an exacto knife.

- I put a thick piece of cardboard under the interior piece of the case so I wouldn't cut into the inside of the other piece.

- cut the new notch about a third of an inch deep.

- trim the removed piece to fit the old notch where the clip used to be. It's only about a quarter-inch deep.

- I used tacky spray to reattach the two halves of the top. I'm pretty certain it's the same glue originally used to put the thing together.

It's a very clean mod. Moving the clip frees up the USB / microSD panel, but it will end up covering your speaker grill -- which is fine, since you can still hear it perfectly.

The Windows key will bring up the "menu" selection, so does F1

F4 will put the screen to sleep - as will Fn+END

ESC acts as the "back" button.

Fn+NumLk works as expected

Arrow keys will jump from app to app & widget to widget on the homescreen, and will ultimately let you scroll between pages if you have multiple screens.

All the "flippy" parts -- like the latch and the stand, secure with strong magnets, so there's nothing flying open.

The stylus that ships with it does nothing for our Gtabs.

The USB cable is a little flimsy, but you might think it's just nice and thin. The USB connector plug secures in place with a strong magnet.

Bottom line -- if you need keyboard and a case - can do a mod that's as simple as PHYSICALLY doing "cut and paste" - and you're picking this up for the 20-30 bucks it can be found for on ebay -- it's awesome!

This one appears to be engineered just for the Gtab, but I'm not sure about that open side:

http://witglobal.com/goods-2286-10i...for+Viewsonic+Gtablet+10+-+Free+Shipping.html

Modding the one in the OP will give you some security on each side of the Gtab.
[G Tablet Accessories] csi15:
are you afraid that the keys will scracth the screen when you have the folio closed?
[G Tablet Accessories] rodzero:
i bought that same case and i am not worried about the keys scratching the screen. of course, i do have a screen protector on at the moment. even so, the keys are somewhat softer feeling than your standard desktop keyboard. its kind of a judgement call, but im comfortable with my current setup.
[G Tablet Accessories] seymour_butts:
same thought here...

the keyboard is a laptop keyb off course, so it's soft...

i also have a screen protector, so scratched it wont be...

i remember i saw a laptop a while ago that the keys got "printed" on the screen... have no idea how, but they did... so, just in case, im also using half of the protection (that white thing) that came with the tablet between the keyb and the screen
[G Tablet Accessories] lordgodgeneral:
I don't think the keys are hard enough to scratch, but I have noticed that I'm getting rub marks on my screen protector. They wipe right off when I clean the screen, and nothing residule showing after cleaning. But to be safe I've started flipping my g tab around in the case when carrying (back towards keyboard) that way if it is rubbing, it only rub the back cover I installed.
[G Tablet Accessories] kjmott:
It's now 2/21 and I am wondering which is the new case they are supposed to have. I was looking on their site and I'm not sure which one it was. Any help would be great. I have been waiting to order one.
[G Tablet Accessories] shilga:
Ordering one for myself

I went to the Witglobal site and they now have a case with USB keyboard that is specifically for the G-Tablet. It is a link from the other page that many other post were mentioning. Since I am a newbie here I cannot post a link. If you go to the other links in the thread and scroll down below the photos is shows the link for the G-Table. I hope it works because I just ordered it.
[G Tablet Accessories] kjmott:
That is still the old one on the website. I submitted a question to them and they said the new version is yet to come out but the one you ordered will work with the gtablet. I may wait for the bluetooth option i2steve was talking about.
[Desire HD General] psych0t1c:
The question:

Is it all about slim devices?

As we see currently on the HTC Desire HD, manufacturers seem to be happily sacrificing usability in order to display their "technical capabilities" of making a slim / thin phone. This is quite obvious for the DHD where the camera lens / bezel stands out like a pimple.

Also, HTC used an even SMALLER battery on the DHD than on the Desire, less mAh as well, on a device that is much more power-hungry.

What is your take on this?

Do you want a "as small as possible" device even if you sacrifice things like battery runtime? I mean, whoever purchases a phone of those proportions, is he really looking for a tiny device or for a powerhorse?

If I had any say in this, I would have contoured the DHD like the Desire, that means a uniform thickness all over the device, using the gained space for more battery power (and prolly a better speaker).

Am I alone with this sentiment?
[Desire HD General] Nodeuk:
I would imagine the descision to make it as slim as possible is for a mixture between aesthetics and practicality. Yes, we all wanted a phone with a large screen, but no, i'd rather not be lugging around a brick.

I cant comment on this as I didnt have a Desire. Those I know with one tell me it needs to be charged every night though.

Im looking for a device that has the features of this phone, whose battery will last me through my daily routine, which this is able to do. They could of made the phone bigger, and put a slightly bigger battery in there - but if the difference isnt enough to make a charge last 2 whole days instead of one, then i'd rather have the slimmer phone. It's going to be plugged in while im sleeping anyway.
[Desire HD General] SiliconS:
lol

........
[Desire HD General] RobTheRover:
And to add to that, the HD has a more power efficient version of the Snapdragon processor. Maybe HTC just considered 1230mAh plenty?

My view is that it is hugely underspec'd in the battery department, so god only knows what our pals in Taiwan were thinking!
[Desire HD General] panyan:
the trend in todays market is to have very large screened devices that are exceptionally thin

the problem with this is that are often hard to handle and dont have the strength when under any sort of stress/strain

i absolutely love the dhd becuase it is made of a fantastic engineering material, has the bulk to feel sturdy and well-built and isnt so thin that it is hard to handle :)
[Desire HD General] dvhttn:
The obvious answer is that we need a much better battery technology! But it seems to go forward in fits and starts rather than any major technological advance coming along. I saw this ages ago ... http://www.myddnetwork.com/new-gadgets/nuclear-battery-for-new-technology-gadgets/ ...

"... The new radioisotope battery has the size of a penny and provides much more power than the traditional ones because, according to the researches, its capacity is very superior. Jae Kwon, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Missouri, said that the radioisotope battery “can provide power density that is six orders of magnitude higher than chemical batteries”. That is to say, it provides no less than a million times more charge than any “normal” battery. ..."

I presume by 'penny' they mean a US Cent? Quite small then ... Imagine a DHD lasting a month on a charge? Though we'd then get hacked off with having to charge it every month ... :eek:
