Overall I am very pleased with this bag for carrying around my Xoom, the Xoom Bluetooth keyboard, and other accessories. The main pouch fits my Xoom (with the Motorola portfolio) and the keyboard nicely. The outer pouch is a little slimmer and is a better fit for just the keyboard (although I can fit both the Xoom and the keyboard together in even the outer pouch). The outer pouch just fits 8.5" x 11" papers, but not a larger folder (see picture below). The strap is solid with nice padding; overall the whole thing is very well made. I think my only complaint is that when the bag is clasped shut the main "flap" kind of sticks out a bit (see attached picture), i.e. it doesn't quite lay flat against the bag. But I think over time it will probably "break in" a bit and will lay a little more flush when closed.
Nice case!
looks awesome!
I might have to get one
hmm, looks like its an 11" need to get a 13" model so I can also lug my computer around
Has anyone found any play-through form fit cases for the A100?
Right now I've got a Belkin neoprene sleave that protects it in my bag, but there have been a few times where I've been knocked into and had the tablet go flying, or simply dropped it (thats one slippery device!!). So a play-through form fit case would be perfect.
I contacted a few accessory stores here in Canada but with no luck. Figured someone else out there would have seen SOMETHING.
Thanks
I use the actual Acer case. It's not bad.

ACER finally has their Accessory store up and showing all the goodies. I bought the CARBON FIBER case which is $40 US. I also have the Black case $30 US but the Carbon fiber is much better quality. Looks like they also have some Silcone cases (bumper cases) they call them.

Nice! The carbon fiber case is exactly what I was hoping to find...as are the bumper cases actually. I find the A100 to be really really slippery, and there have been a lot of times where I'm using it in bed while going to sleep and nodded off...of course dropping the A100 in the process
Luckily it's a tough little beast and survived the short falls from my bed.
Now, the question is...trying to find this stuff in Canada!

I'm not sure what you mean by "play-through", but if you mean a case that lets you use the tablet without removing it from the case, then this one from The Source :
http://www.thesource.ca/estore/prod...e&category=Tablet-accessories&product=1719056
might fit your needs.
It has served me well for the past month.

Yeah, thats exactly what play-through means in the case world
I'll check that out. Thanks.
I JUST ordered the official Acer Carbon Fiber case previously mentioned in this thread. Canadian suppliers started getting them this week and I was able to custom order it from a local computer store. Unfortunately it's on order still with the supplier (Synnex Canada) with no ETA.

this case looks promising, but it is a preorder onle right now.
Best Buy is now selling the Acer cases on their site. Probably cheaper shipping than Acer's 10 buck shipping. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Acer+-+...10275571&skuId=3530371&st=acer case&cp=1&lp=3
Thanks for the link, carbon case is on the way. The tablet keeps sliding down in the Acer naugahide one.

Great case for A100
I purchased this case about a month ago. It was sent from China so it takes at least 3 weeks to arrive .
After a week of break in period the case feels great to the hands. The leather used on the outside of the case acquires a nice soft feel and has NO leather smell like the Acer smelly case.
All ports and buttons are accessible and the A100 hold firmly in the case with no screen visibility restrictions.
The case open steno style as opposed to book style in the portrait screen position.
As a bonus they also include a very nice NON glare screen protector.
$16.95 with free shipping....it's a great deal.

Nice! The more accessories the better...hopefully that's an indication of popularity of the A100.

My Acer Carbon Fiber case is backordered, so I decided to try another case instead. But I couldn't decide between them, so I ordered two cases from amazon to try out. Figured since there's not much info on these yet, I might as well be the test subject
These are the 2 cases:
rooCASE Multi-Angle (Black) Leather Folio Case Cover with Stand and Elastic Hand Strap for Acer Iconia Tab A100 7-Inch Android Tablet Wi-Fi
$24.95
I especially like that there's an elastic strap on the back for you to securely hold the tablet one handed in portrait mode for e-reading type activities.

Yes, I know how to google
I found all of those stores weeks ago, literally all of them, plus some others. Contacted each one and was told they had no clue on ETA, and they wouldn't sell to me until they had stock. So through my office at work I had my boss contact the universal Canadian supplier for these cases, Synnex. We sell computer hardware to corporations, so we order from there all the time, just usually in large quantities. In this case my boss made an exception for me and ordered a single unit.
I got a much better price than these stores
But unfortunately it turned out Synnex didn't get as many in as planned and now I'm stuck waiting for that order. I don't want to cancel because I asked a favour of my boss to order it for me...looks bad on me coming back now saying "uh, can you cancel that?"
But if these rooCase cases come and suck, i'll do just that and buy from one of the stores you mentioned. I've got no experience with any of them. Do you?
So did anyone get a RooCase? Thoughts?
Sorry about that. I totally forgot to post my reviews!!
I now have 3 cases believe it or not. The rooCASE Multi-Angle , The rooCASE Ultra Slim, and the Acer Carbon Fiber.
I also have the "Black Carbon Fiber Film Shield & Screen Protector - Armorsuit MilitaryShield". Please see my previous posts in this thread for links and pictures. They're clearly labeled.
Here's some quick thoughts, and I can do proper reviews tomorrow or Monday.
Black Carbon Fiber Film Shield & Screen Protector for Acer Iconia Tab A100 7-Inch Tablet - Armorsuit MilitaryShield
This is a pretty standard sticker type protector that doesn't offer mch protection beyond scrapes and scratches. But it does look great on the tablet. I've had a few carbon fiber cases and similar protectors for other devices, and they all look the same. If you've seen the official Acer Carbon Fiber portfolio case, this has the same pattern.
It was fairly easy to install, with the only challenge being lining up the separate pieces. There's a huge piece for the back, then pieces to cover all 4 sides.
The screen protector is pretty good. It went on very easily, is meant for our device so there's no custom cutting needed on your part. It fits perfectly.
The tablet looks really good in this skin. But I'm not sure what use it really is. On cell phones the idea is you can keep it in your pocket without scratches from keys and change and what not, but we don't exactly do that with these tablets.
The screen protector on the other hand is great.
rooCASE Multi-Angle (Black) Leather Folio Case Cover with Stand and Elastic Hand Strap
This case is really good. Pretty high quality leather and very well made. It fits the tablet perfectly. The inside seems to be some sort of microfibre cloth and feels great. The elastic handstrap is somewhat useful, but more gimicky than anything else. The stand portion works well. You can leave it on a desk and watch a movie like that easily. Or more functionally, you can use a bluetooth keyboard with the tablet standing up quite well. The lid is also magnetic, so it stays shut when you close the case up. It's not a very strong magnet but it does the job quite well.
rooCASE Ultra Slim (Black) Leather Case Cover Cover with Stand
This case is fantastic. It's the same high quality leather as the above case, same inside microfibre. But it really is very thin. Much thinner than either the above case or the official Acer Carbon Fiber one. There's no magnetic latch, no elastic or anything to hold the case shut. But it really doesn't need it - the case stays closed just fine on it's own. When open the cover folds easily around to the back, and you hardly notice it's there while using the tablet. The right side and top/bottom has some 'extra' leather sticking out about 1/3rd of an inch, because that's how they sewed it shut to keep it so slim. It's hardly noticeable after a few minutes and not a negative at all. The cutouts match up perfectly with the buttons and slots, and unlike the Acer one, there is plenty of protection where there isn't something to access under the case.
Official Acer Carbon Fiber case:
I don't remember much about this off the top of my head (I'm writing this review in the middle of the night because I can't sleep) so I'll edit the post and do a more formal review tomorrow. From what I remember:
The case looks beautiful. It has pretty good protection on the front and back, but the protection on the sides is lacking. There are only a few straps holding the case in. Thickness wise, it's thinner than the Roocase multi-angle, but considerably thicker than the roocase ultra-slim.
So after all that, here's what I decided:
I've got the Armorsuit MilitaryShield skin and screen protector on. The screen protector helps provide ease of mind while using the tablet. And I didn't want to take the skin off since I paid good money for it and it doesn't get in the way of the other proper cases. It also adds some protection to the sides that are exposed in the various cases, especially the Acer case.
Case wise...I'm using the rooCASE Ultra-Slim. It simply feels the best in your hand is the lease obtrusive in use, yet provides great protection. I've dropped the tablet a few times, once onto my tile floor by accident, and the tablet was fine. I love how thin it is compared to the other cases.
Again, I'll do a proper review in the next couple of days with some pictures.
Got questions? Ask away
I wanted something along these lines:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003YD0TT2
(Two piece snap on hard shell, but with soft-touch rubberized coating. Something that protects and adds grippiness, but doesn't add much in the way of bulk.)
I figured between that kind of case and a screen protector, I'd feel okay about just tossing the A100 in a bag. I really want to keep it a pick-up-and-go device (like a smartphone or an iPod touch...no unzipping, or unlatching and folding, or whatever required).
Unfortunately, 7-inch tablets haven't saturated the market enough to attract a whole lot of accessory manufacturer interest.
Soo, in the hopefully short meantime, I opted for a cheap neoprene sleeve until someone offers a case like the one above or one like I had on my Transformer (http://goo.gl/uQwTk), which was actually exceptionally nice.
Anyway, here's the sleeve I bought:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005FJ7XTC
Should arrive between the 1st and 4th, so pictures and a review then.
Try one of these, it's hard shelled and protects the device well. Cheap, too!
