Help Iconia A500 - Accessories

In regards to the Acer Protective Case, it has grown on me for a few reasons:

1. Thin & light, so not much weight added nor footprint addition.
2. Functions as a grip skin and "decent" overall protection.
3. To get the form fit, protection and grip function, you would pay more.... I guess this case is the only option really ATM.


Buy from Acer for $30 and save about $13 total cost from Staples price. For $30, the case is okay, but not $43 or so.

PDair Acer Iconia Tab A500 Accessories

Not sure if anyone has seen this or got one but I just ordered it so will let you know. Was trying to order an easecase but unfortunately they only do the satchel not a book design. While the pair is boring black the pictures look like good quality.

Anyway loving my tablet. Only android I had previously was an N8 and that was thrown into a wall a day after I got it in frustration (joking but it was put in its box and never used again)

Hi,

Walked down Oxford Street yesterday looking for Iconia Tab A500 screen protector and Acer's Protective Case. No Luck. PC World, John Lewis and HMV did not have any accessories and only PC World had the Iconia Tab A500 on display.

Why in the world would you pay $120 for a case when Best Buy sells a Targus brand leather case that protects the tablet very well, and works as a very good stand. It's only 39.99 at best buy and WAY better than the acer brand case and I'm sure is comparable to these for $120..... Well worth the $40:

Because when he bought it nothing else was available. The Targus case at BB just came out a couple of weeks ago.
