Official gPad/zPad portfolio cover - bulk buy

msieg080 · February 6th, 2011, 11:35 AM

I have a quote in hand from a Chinese company and I am willing to buy approximately 30 official gpad/zpad portfolio covers. These are the nice ones without the snaps or that tab that sticks out - magnetic clasp built into.

The guy on xda who bought 1 provided official pics on his unit: Denis Tan's Photos - Review of ViewSonic G Tablet | Facebook

The item is at: ÍòÀû´ï T2ÆÕÍ¨°æ T2 3G°æ Ô*×°Æ¤Ì× ¿Éµ±Ö§¼ÜÊ¹ÓÃ-ÌÔ±¦Íø

It does fold back.

I won't officially take names and hold them until they are here at my house. Just hoping to get some feedback as to whether or not I should do this? I won't be asking for much over cost, cost appears like around $20, and shipping I would think a max of $5, so $25 total is my best guess right now.

Looks good.. been looking for something like this and I'm impatient.. anyone else?

Does it effectively hold the tablet at a good viewing angle when you have it on your lap? If it does, I might be interested.

I don't have them yet, but if I were to guess, it's more for something above your lap. It does not have the multiple notches for different viewing angles. Don't forget, the top - down view of the gtab is best. and from sides, top down still best, it's when you lean it too far back, you get that "negative" effect. As soon as I have them, I will post my thoughts.

Ok, cool. I'm definitely interested, regardless.

Count me in, interested! What a great forum!!

Falco1 · February 8th, 2011, 11:29 AM

I would definitely be interested as well. Looks nice and am in the market for one. I will hold off on purchasing anything until I hear back from you.

I already bought a case from Amazon a while back. Though this one seems better, one case is enough for me. Thanks though

coolbone · February 10th, 2011, 02:42 PM

Definitely interested in one. None of the cases I can find are the folio type I'm looking for.

watersrules · February 13th, 2011, 07:45 PM

any word on these?

Yes - I just received notice that they are shipping out today! I am guessing at least 7 days to get here?? We'll see.

msieg080 · February 14th, 2011, 09:14 PM

Guys - be sure to watch this closely. I also posted on XDA that they have shipped and I expect them within a week. I am getting bombarded over there! I will post them to this thread first and I don't want you guys to miss out!

watersrules · February 15th, 2011, 09:42 AM

appreciate your work!

Lol. I saw ur thread...yep there's a lot of gtab owners over at xda.

kimkgk · February 16th, 2011, 05:00 PM

I might be interested too. I like the Kindle app and read at night with it. Might be nice to have the case if it would work for that.

watersrules · February 17th, 2011, 12:55 PM

msieg080, I'm interested to hear your impression of the portfolio when you get them

UPDATE 2/24 1:18 AM
Thank you everyone for working with me on this sale! I now have receipts out to everyone who made it for the first 28 cases.
I have one left - the slightly damaged one for $18. It is truly only slight damage. I have one person in line for it, and no others yet.
I am very sorry for those who did not make it in time. I really wish I had a lot of money and could have bought a few hundred of these...
ENJOY YOUR NEW CASES!!

_________________________________________

Okay!! It's official. 30 cases all sitting here (minus 1 that is mine)! My whole basement smells of pleather and I love it!

I have personally looked at all 30. All of them are essentially identical. I have only noticed that some fit a little tighter then others, so you have to work it in a little. All the holes line up correctly. Not every one of them has the camera "PERFECTLY" in the hole, but I have found none of them that cover it or interfere. I picked a tighter one that caused the top strap to pucker up, but it's already settled down.

Final Price = $26 (includes the shipping charge) *** SORRY, was $25 - had to change since almost all shipping ended up $1 more then I had thought***

Please no international orders (sorry guys - would love to help but all of these are gonna be gone quick and it's more work then I want to try and ship beyond local borders - If you choose to set up a freight forward, then that is up to you, as long as the address is US).

FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE, PRIVATE MESSAGE ME WITH YOUR PAYPAL ACCOUNT USERNAME AND YOUR SHIPPING ADDRESS.

**** DO NOT POST YOUR ORDER TO THIS THREAD, I WILL NOT BE WATCHING IT ****

You have 24 hours to respond to the receipt or I will give yours to the next available person. Please only order the quantity equal to gtabs you own. I want to be fair to all the gtab customers waiting for these. Please be fair. These are "As is" - I am not a store, no warranty implied, no returns.

One case came in with a 1/8" scrape that went through the pleather (inside right bottom below gtab menu buttons). I am offerring this case for $18 - IF YOU WANT IT, PLEASE STATE THAT IN THE MESSAGE. If you receive a receipt for full amount, then I already sold the discounted item.

Everything is shipping USPS priority and I will do my very best to get these out within a day of payment receipt.

ENJOY!!!

watersrules · February 23rd, 2011, 11:56 AM

sent you a PM, but didn't see it in my sent folder, hope you got it!

Zebulon · February 27th, 2011, 10:18 PM

Any chance of you ordering another batch of these? I dragged my feet and now I'm regretting a missed opportunity.

watersrules · February 28th, 2011, 09:46 AM

I received mine Saturday. I love it. Fits nice and snug, looks and feels nice. This is exactly what I was looking for. The only downside is it does cover up the usb and memory card slots, but thats not a big deal for me at all. Thank you for the quick shipping!!

ChiTownJim · March 21st, 2011, 10:15 AM
