Black is boring - Acer Iconia Tab A100

There have been a lot of good suggestions for A100 cases in this sub-forum, including some that actually ship to Canada! But they are all black!
Why is so much in the PC and audio-visual electronics world BLACK these days? Oh, don't get me started on black gadgets and how difficult it makes reading labels and controls and so on. Thank goodness my little Asus eeePC was white!
But back to the topic:
For other tablets including the A500, there are lots of coloured cases available.
But the only non-black case I found for the A100 is this one:
http://us-store.acer.com/product.aspx?prodid=95
- and it ships to Canada, eh? I have the blue one, and I want to order the red one for my wife's A100. It's a pretty good case, and you can get it in black if you like black.
Has anyone seen any other non-black cases for the A100?

Good case for Verizon LTE version?

Hi,
Any Verizion LTE user out there?
I was looking for a good case for LTE version tab but it's really hard to find
or the compatibility is unknown.
Any suggestions?
i bought my case from this guy: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1240993
it's really not a beautiful case but for it's price, i can't complain anything.The case just get its job done. BTW I had wery good customer experience with that seller, he quickly replied every email i sent to him and shipping is fast ( 2-3 days )
I got this one and LOVE it.

I originally had a Belkin something or other, but it was big, bulky, and just didn't seem to fit right. I got the cheap one on Amazon thinking it would probably suck, but it didn't! And the price is amazing.
2nd the pyroskin 360. Just make sure if you do order it for the LTE model you get the V2 version.
Last I checked they were out of stock on the black ones though. The brown is dark and elegant looking as well though (have a spare in that color).
What I like about it is that it rotates which allows you to watch videos in landscape mode with the plug coming out of the top of the tablet (tablet rotated upside down).
Offers good protection too, I've already dropped the tablet in the case from about 4 feet onto one of the corners on pavement. Case has some marks but the tablet was unscathed thankfully.

Official Samsung Notebook Style Flip Case Galaxy S3

Hi all,
Does anyone here own one of these cases? Specifically in light blue, yellow or orange?
I ask because, looking at pictures online, it appears the colour on the front of the case is a little lighter than the colour at the back. I'm a bit weird, I know, but if true, that would annoy me and put me off buying one.
I owned the official flip case for the Galaxy Note and the colour was the same front and back. Is this the case with the S3?
Many thanks.
I had one, the blue one. It wasn't bad, the color looked fine to me. I also have one on my s3 and it has the same design as the color on the phone itself.

I have one in blue and am not impressed. It looks nice, the color matches the phone and it protects the screen quite well but ultimately, the inferior quality will force me to return it. It's been on the phone for 4 days and the top is already starting to delaminate and bubble along the left edge. You can push it down and it will flatten out but the next time you fold it back to use the phone, it bubbles up again. It’s getting noticeably worse as the days go on.
I have one and it's not bad. Not delaminating like others

Replacement Accents?

Hi all,
Been looking around to see if there are sites for replacement accents, but I haven't found any. I did come across some on eBay; I was wondering has anyone encountered any site that sells the accents.
Personally, I would like to mix and match the colors (like metallic blue buttons with red camera frame accents and etc); also paint my own haha. Also, I might just get bored of the color that I decided at first and want to change. Anybody have that kind of feeling?
I've been trying to keep an eye out every week or so for replacement accents, but no luck so far. I ordered a replacement back from ebay that arrived quickly and seems OEM, so that's tiding me over until I find replacement accents! I picked black front/metallic orange, so it offers some fun combos for new back colors, at least.

[Q] Titanium Bronze

Hi,
for those who purchased Titanium Bronze version, how do you like it or would you rather prefer black version if there was one?
I probably would have gotten black if it had been available. That being said I originally ordered a black case but changed my mind and got the Titanium Bronze case and am quite happy with both. Nearly everything I own is black and sometimes a little change is nice.

Bronze looks similar to black, and I think I may prefer the bronze. The gold trim is nice..
I hate the cheap looking gold. Its tacky. I wouldnt mind the titanium if it had silver trim.
I definitely would have preferred black, but it really doesn't bother me. Got the matching case, which is fantastic.
I love the titanium. Go to a store and check it out. It really is personal preference.
The titanium bronze with the official book case is very nice. I love the look. The color is not overstated and works very well. Happy I went with it over boring old white or black(I know it's not available.)
BTW, I really can't say enough good things about their official book sleeve case. It's incredibly thin and is well designed with magnets. Finally have a case that doesn't double the girth of the tablet. It's too expensive, but that's how it is.
Titanium by a mile. Especially if your a movie buff. The white bezel is a complete distraction at night while watching movies. The darker display makes you feel like your in a theater
Titanium is the color of the back. Bronze is the color of the edge. Not gold.
I do like the dark color scheme, but given a choice I would have preferred dark, deep, matte black all around, without metallic accents.

Fed up with white everywhere and as there was no black i went for Bronze. In fact when in the store even the wife preferred the Bronze so i went for it. Glad i did as i think if they only use it on this model it gives the Tab S a more standout quality that 'Apple' white does not, leaving the Tab S in with the rest of the crowd.
Wasn't impressed with the bronze color on the tablet. Looks kind of like a gray brown non color to me. However I do like it on the book cover. So have white tab with bronze cover.
My slight hypochondria LOVES the bronze. I'm assuming that it is a coppery alloy and is naturally anti-microbial. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimicrobial_properties_of_copper

At first I was happy with this as it was a gift. I liked the bronze because Samsung never had this color on any of their tablets which makes it unique. Then I kinda regretted it and wanted the white one for the home feel and how immaculate it looked but now I'm appreciating the bronze to go with my otterbox defender case which looks great. The major point of appreciation lied within it's main purpose which is media consumption wherein movies and video playing is this device's highlight. If I got white then watching a movie could be distracting at night and may throw you off. I could have gone for the black though to maximize it's strength point. But I do love this bronze now instead of the white one and I'll stick to it.

Everyone thinks I have like a really expensive tablet because of the bronze lol. I got the bronze because my dad hates how white devices look and it matched the things we owned(tvs and phones).

Brothers and Sisters, I've Seen The Light

Well, it was actually a demo unit in my local 'Carphone Warehouse' but OMG!!!
Trust me folks, however many pictures of the Note 10+ that you've seen, nothing prepares you for the sheer beauty of this device, absolutely stunning even sans the punchole.
I managed to persuade the sales agent to show me the back of the 'Aura Glow' model and I swear I saw an angel smiling at me through the shards of heavenly coloured lights that seemed to reach into my soul.
Anybody that covers up the back of this phone with a non clear case, should be branded as a heretic and stoned with 'iPhones'.
I'm mustering every ounce of self discipline to stop myself from running back into the shop and liberating every Note 10+ in stock, but I have my family and goldfish to think of, so roll on Friday.
You are wasted on these forums. Might have to take a trip to CPW myself, armed with sunglasses.

I'll probably regret getting Aura Blue instead of Aura Glow but I figured everyone would get the Aura Glow so I wanted to be different. The videos I have seen of the Glow are amazing. The blue does look pretty amazing to though.

LOL - well said - me, personally I am mostly interested in the beauty of the screen and the power underneath - I played around with a Note 10 Plus at ATT the other day and was blown away as you are. Friday can't come soon enough.
I am kind of a boring guy - I got the Aura Black - which seems like a fancy way of saying it is a Black Phone - but just the same, it is the SCREEN I am most interested - and what I will be looking at nearly 100 percent of the time....

I saw the black, blue, and glow at Best Buy on display. Glow is more muted in person than it is in videos. It's the color I went with, just because it was so different than any of my previous phones. My last two Notes were blue.
But. I will say the Aura Blue is gorgeous. It's not just a flat blue like the Note 9 or even the glossy blue of the Deep Sea Blue Note 8. It color shifts just a tad from dark blue to Royal Blue depending on the light.

The black is anything but plain black. It's almost a charcoal in some light. It's a very good looking phone. It almost had me wishing I had stuck with the 512GB instead of opting for the 256 to get the glow. But I've had a few black phones before, and glow is so different.

I agree, so what would the best clear case be? I wish they made the OtterBox Pursuit series for the Note line but they don't. I was thinking about getting the "Ghostek Atomic Slim" but I've read people said they had reception issue because of the Aluminum bumper. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VJJMD25/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_1-jxDbKBJBJH4

I like 'ultra thin' cases, I find that even most cases touted as being 'slim' do add some bulk. Since I'm very careful with my phones these are adequate for my needs, and the once or twice that they've been dropped (by other people), no damage was incurred.
I have this one already, waiting to go on my phone the second it's unpacked.

For me, bulky cases hide the original design of the phone too much, which sort of defeats one of the factors that made me buy it in the first instance.
It's like buying a Lamborghini and then covering it with thick armour plating because you're afraid of scratching the paintwork.

To each their own. I dont purchase technology for the looks, I purchase it for the performance and what it can actually do. Sure I purchased the Aura Glow version and I'd like to show it off with a see through case, but its the big beautiful screen and camera performance that matters most to me.

Thanks for your opinion.
Doesn't sans mean without?
I originally went with Aura Glow then decided on black since I will be putting a skin on it anyways. I always hated how the blue accents limited my skin choices on my note 9. Even though I loved the color itself.
Too bad they don't have the Aurora glow in 512gb version so I got the black one because that's the only one with that size storage. I find it kind of lame that they did that. But oh well I'm getting a rugged case anyways because I don't want it to break like my note 8 lol. I also find it dumb that they are going to release the 5G versión for TMobile later on ?*
I always get black phones. There is something about shiny or light colored phones.
It's the camera. I use my phone a lot at live music gigs with all the lights and stuff going on.
I always have it in a case anyways.
I agree, the "glow" is like a big diffraction grating spewing rainbow colors like a big bag of skittles just exploded. Like an air hockey table, it's a novelty that wears off fast.
If you see the glow, you know the phone has "only" 256GB of storage so there's that.
I was hesitating to pre-order until I saw the demos at best buy the day after the announcement. Went with the unlocked aurora blue trading in my wifes s8+ and getting the 200 dollar credit on the galaxy watch. Watch is coming today and phone tomorrow, can't wait.
I decided to go with black 256gb 5G, 512gb in 5G isn't available in UK through Samsung.com. Just checked tracking info, it says delivery is due tomorrow (Thursday) was expecting Friday so can't sleep anymore now.
