This will probably be my last update to this thread, however, because I am selling my Kindle Fire today and decided to get a different tablet. Love the fire, but I'm trying to restrict myself to one tablet at a time. Keep an eye out on dealnews.com for more updates, or I'm sure others can post in this thread even if this original post is not kept up to date.

Well if you were waiting for the price to drop another 20 cents before you bought one of these cases, today is your lucky day.

Enjoy. Expires 12/17
Additionally, if you're looking for some screen protectors, this is the cheapest I've seen from this company:
http://dealnews.com/Clear-Screen-Protector-for-Kindle-Fire-3-Pack-for-4-free-shipping-via-Prime/530978.html
It's a 3-pack for ~$4. With a case I don't feel a big need for a screen protector, but if you do, this is the cheapest I've seen.

I saw this deal and thought I'd post it here in case anyone is interested and missed it. I don't have this case, so I can't speak for quality, but it looks quite nice - better than many of the other cases I've seen.
http://dealnews.com/Acase-Kindle-Fire-Deluxe-Case-Folio-w-Stand-for-10-5-s-h-updated-/521083.html
The coupon code for this deal is only valid today. The coupon code lowers the price by $13.
I actually ordered this case last Thursday and I got it today in the mail. It looks really nice and works really well. It also costs about half as much as some of the other ones I've seen. Thank you so much for posting!
Just ordered the newer case you posted. Thanks for the link. $8.24 + $4.50 shipping and it looks a lot better than the alternatives I was considering in the price range.

FYI I received the case from the 11/30 special yesterday. Overall I'm quite impressed with it. A real bargain at $10 shipped.
I received mine today as well. Very impressed with it for only $10. Thank you again for posting!

I'll add my voice as well: thanks for the tip, got mine yesterday and it's a very nice case for under $10. I like it much better than the Belkin I got for $30. and returned to Amazon.
Nice to hear some good feedback on these cases. I'm not sure if I'll keep updating the original post as more deals come out, but I recommend checking dealnews.com if people are still looking for deals on this case or other Fire cases. It seems they list one on sale every other day or so.
A version of this case is on sale again. I'm starting to think Acase should send me a free one of these for keep this thread going for them...
Got mine today. I like it a lot, although I wonder how long the inner corners will hold up if you put it into the stand mode often......all in all though, a nice feeling case..
Ordered mine last night. Can't wait for it to come in.

I have to make a short addition. On the frontpage of the shop there's news that all
orders with receipt of money including the 13th December will be sent before christmas.
All orders after the 13th December will be processed/ sent after 3rd January 2012 because of company holiday.
And if you can wait with your order till 19th December I found a 10% voucher for you. Can't post links yet, but search for "fitbag gutschein mobiflip". Click on the first result.
There is also explained how you can request a stitched android on your Alcantara/clothpouch.
The code is "MOBIFLIP.DE" and is valid from 19.12. till 2nd January.

Okay since there are so many different pouches, the easiest will be if you guys just find the one you like with Google Translate
http://translate.google.com/transla...tbag.de/alle-fitbag-handytaschen.html&act=url
Since its only the check out that blocks for translate i'll use screenshot from here
White letters with blue background is my addition
- Type in phone model
- How many
- Add to cart
-Check out
- Check out as guest
- Next
(Still works, just click)
- Fill in details
- Next
- Normal package
- Next
- Choose Paypal
- Next
- Check off
- Check off
- Order
You'll be sent off to paypal to finish here
Nicely done.
However when i tried it a couple days ago it would not load/re direct to Paypal.
So i choose the other option..
The company then sends you your order confirmation via email and Bank details so you can then "wire" them the monies.
I have done it this way.
I will report back once i have received my fit bag to confirm that its a safe to do it this way.
Yeah paypall didnt work for me either first time but a refresh did it

I ordered this morning from amazon.de. I then emailed fitbag.de to be sure that my order was processed, and they said that it would ship sometime this week, probably within a few days. Their customer service is stunning, I don't ever think I've gotten a reply that fast to something I've submitted in a "contact us" box.
Nice guide jvvpc.

Thanks calubren, have put it in the top so people will see it
tk_chan - Yeah you just tell them what phone you have and they make it
Nice effort but Google Translate on Chrome does a great job of translating the site for you. I ordered in Nov but still waiting for mine to ship :/
Thanks OP,
I ordered 2
One alcantara ... and One rave textiel
http://shop.fitbag.de/rave-schwarz-handytasche-nach-mass.html
Because I am not sure with alcantara and I thought textiel is cool hehehe ...
Thats weird. Ordered 12/12/11 and I got the shipment mail this morning. Its a normal leather fitbag - no extras as stiching
I ordered this premium pouch from amazon.co.uk

Tnx... Now i need wait for my Alcantara bag...
Ok, this is really taking forever... I ordered mine on January 9. Well over three weeks and I still haven't received a shipping e-mail. I e-mailed them and they told me they will ship out "somewhere at the end of next week."
That's over a month >_> I can understand 14 days of wait because it's custom made and all, but still.. This is taking way too to my liking actually..
Amazon is now stating 1-4 months for the official desktop and car dock, I pre-ordered these items in the first week in December and I'm now considering cancelling this order and attempting elsewhere.
Anyone have any information as to the reason of the delay or provide any alternative websites to order these docks?
I ordered the vehicle dock on Dec 16 from amazon.co.uk, initial dispatch estimate was Jan 1 but was just pushed to Jan 31.
Curiously, amazon.de lists Jan 19 as the estimated in-stock date.
Expansys is showing Feb 29th as the release date. I've had mine pre ordered from there for a while.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Grrrrrrrr I want a dock before I get the phone, at this rate I will wait till the GSIII is out.
I had ordered both of them from Clove last month and I got an email saying they are hoping to ship in 1-3 weeks. Since no one has them and no one has any definite release dates, it's pretty clear Samsung just isn't giving anyone concrete information on their release.

Since Google bought out Motorola Mobility, would it be safe to assume that the future Nexus phones would be built by Motorola?
I looked for thew playpad pro on Amazon and noticed there's another version called "PlayPad Pro for Amazon Fire TV"
Generic "for android/bluetooth" version
http://www.amazon.com/Playpad-Android-Bluetooth-PC-Mac-Linux/dp/B0092ZEINO/ref=pd_sim_vg_1
Amazon fire tv version
http://www.amazon.com/PlayPad-Pro-Amazon-Fire-TV/dp/B00J9P3KBS/ref=dp_ob_title_vg
Does anyone think there's any difference or is Nyko just trying to capitalize on having a half priced controller for the fire tv and optimizing search results for those who are looking for an alternative?
I already ordered one, but it doesn't ship until the 25th.
There is a lot more marketing info (pictures etc) on the page for the FireTV version.

From the reviews on amazon if you search for Fire Tv on the old version of the playpad pro, it works just fine.
if you go to the page for the old one, it says right away that there's a newer model.
they both have the same price, I don't think anyone is capitalizing on anything.
the one I ordered was the newer "firetv" one. because reasons.
but if the old one works, that's good too.
I am more than a little curious why there needs to be 2 versions. I wouldn't mind if someone bought both, cracked them open and compared the chips/pcb.
but as long as it works it's not going to bug me all that much...

If you ordered when it said shipping on the 18 and paid for overnight, contact Amazon and they will refund the shipping.
When I ordered it, it said not shipping until the 25th. I selected normal 2 day delivery since I'm not in a big hurry

I ordered one when it said the 18th, expected delivery is the 23rd with Prime. That's one business day extra by my calculation but I was more concerned that ALL stock was delayed a week. The rep I talked to said mine was confirmed out of a first set so they must have sold out of the first batch and are getting more a week later. Fun.

LOL, I ordered when it said the 18th as well. When I got the e-mail saying they had been delayed, I was told by a CSR that nobody was getting any shipped by the 18th and that they didn't know for sure when they will ship and the 25th is a "we hope by" date. My Arrival date was supposed to be the 22nd.

Color me totally unsurprised at conflicting information from Amazon . Well at least they will typically take care of disgruntled folks fairly well in my experience. I'll likely just cancel, move on and get a wireless dongle for my XBox controllers and go wireless that way if these become vapor.

Since a few people are reporting the older version works fine I ordered a refurbished one for a backup, it should be here Monday. If the new one doesn't ship by Wednesday I'll cancel if the refurb works. It must be a jinxed week for shipping because Walmart just screwed up another order.

The Nyko representative, responding to reviews on Amazon, is claiming the FireTV version has a firmware update. So, it sounds like the same controller with a different firmware. If the firmware is available, like the original PlayPad Pro for Android, you could upgrade an existing controller.

Is it the Playpad pro 100 firmware from 3/28 ?
I returned my PlayPad Pro to Amazon, bit the bullet and bought the genuine FTV controller. PlayPad Pro just behaved wonky.

Ya mine seems to act weird in GTA I can't get to map menu also when the controller goes off I have to repair it to get it to behave normally. also the buttons just seem to act weird. How is your experience with the FTV controller?

Did you update your controller's firmware? I found that the re-pairing is an issue with the older firmware. However, once you update the firmware you may encounter lag in RetroArch.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58533153&postcount=11
See my post for more info. I didn't mention my AFTV in that post, but I have paired the updated controller with my AFTV and it is working well. I haven't tried RetroArch on the AFTV, yet, though.
Has a workaround been made yet? I'm fearful to make an online purchase if it's still a crapshoot.
