Newest version is perfect

MoKo Slim fit Google Android Tablet

MoKo Slim fit Google Android Tablet

I searched around for a case that had the most features for my use. This is very similar to the Moko Slim-Fit PU Leather model (MoKo(TM) Slim-fit Cover Case for Google Nexus 7 Android Tablet by Asus, Black (with Automatic Sleep/Wake Function, Protective Hardback, Built-in Multi-angle Stand, Elastic Hand Strap, and Stylus Loop)--Lifetime Warranty) with two differences. There is no stylus loop holder (the title says there is one, but you can see in the photos there is not) and this one is genuine leather (not PU leather). The leather feels great and should improve over time. I really like the band to help with holding the tablet in a portrait view. There is also an elastic band that holds the front cover behind the tablet. This band goes over the top right and bottom right corners. It does not interfere with the touch screen in any way; however, it does cross over the power and volume buttons and makes it a little difficult to reach the buttons. The clip that holds the front cover closed is tight enough to stay closed, but is easy to open when you want it open.

It is not too thick and feels nice in your hand. My opinion is the case will protect from the elements like dirt and scratches, but I don't think it will protect the tablet very well from drops. I think this case could be paired with one of those zipper padded travel cases if you are looking for more drop protection.

The inside microfiber is very soft to the touch and feels nice. The clips hold the tablet firmly, but is also easy to slide out of the two corners to put in the horizontal stand.

There are holes on the back for the rear speakers. All of the ports are easily accessible.

I like this case design better than those that wrap around the face of the tablet. This design makes swiping across the screen easier.

The auto sleep/wake works perfectly. Open the cover and the tablet turns on. Close the cover and the tablet turns off. When folding the front cover behind the tablet, it remains on.

Pros:

+ Auto Sleep/Wake
+ Genuine Leather
+ Multi-Angle Horizontal Stand
+ Elastic Hand Strap
+ Elastic Front Cover Holder
+ All Port Easily Accessible
+ Case Designed For Easy Swiping Across Screen
+ Looks Good
+ Lifetime Warranty

Cons:

- No Portrait Stand
- No Elastic Stylus Loop Holder
- Elastic Front Cover Strap Interferes With The Power And Volume Buttons When Holding Front Cover Open
- Probably Not The Best For Protecting From Drops (Edges Are Exposed)

The cons are minimal and I would recommend this case to anyone.

Its Google...

This Accessorise Padded Sleeve Case Cover perfectly fits 7" tablets, like my Kindle Fire, and also doubles as both a portrait and a landscape viewing stand. Here are my observations:

Pros -
+ Quality; this is a very nice case made with high quality materials
+ Protection; the water resistant material and decent padding provides good protection against casual spills and drops
+ Good Looking; this is a very nice looking case
+ Stand Functionality; works very well in landscape and reasonably well as a portrait viewing stand
+ Pocket; front pocket stores USB cable or charger
+ Wrist Strap; removable clip connects to a metal loop at the balance point of the case, which is a nice feature

There really are no "Negs" to speak of with this innovative case. I do like the viewing angle in landscape mode over the portrait, but not enough to call it an "issue".

This is a very good protective cover and viewing stand for 7" tablets that works like it should.

Highly Recommended!

acer iconia case & keyboard

GSAstore Built Keyboard Customized Included

GSAstore Built Keyboard Customized Included

I ordered my keyboard case on friday, and it already arived (4 days from ordering, 3 days shipping). Great job to the seller for getting it out so quickly, I appreciate that. As for the case itself, its nice. The inclusion of the F keys and windows key is lol-worthy considering this thing is supposed to be specifically for honeycomb tablets, but I can't complain. The response time between the keyboard and the tablet is pretty phenominal IMO, its instant just like on a pc, actually faster than most of the soft keyboards I've installed. The case has 5 clips on it to hold the tablet, 2 on bottom, 1 on each side, and 1 on the top and they are adjustable to get the right fit (and to put the tablet in). The keyboard is wired, and the wire comes out from inside the case, not outside (think of a standard pc keyboard where the wire is on top, not to the left or right) with a space to route the extra wiring through as its a decent length. It also has a space that appears to be for a stylus, accessories apparently sold seperately lol. Over all, well worth my money.

For those who have this tablet and are even considering this case, GET IT. When I was linked here from the XDA forums I was skeptical since this isnt an Acer product, but its a great case.

Microsd card reader is not as pictured

Sandisk Micro Class Memory Reader

Sandisk Micro Class Memory Reader

First, let me clarify... I did not purchase my card here through Amazon, therefore I cannot comment as to this seller and/or the legitimacy of the cards they are selling. I simply wanted to comment on this particular Sandisk product in general, and my experience with it.

I purchased my Sandisk 16 GB Micro SDHC Class 4 card from Costco, and spent an afternoon testing the card to verify the correct size and speed class. I bought from Costco because they have a wonderful return policy in case I wasn't completely happy with it.

Since I purchased the card to run in my HTC Evo, I did the testing on the phone with the card installed. The card tested genuine as a 16 GB card, and my write/read speeds were consistent for a class 4 card. Over several tests, I averaged a consistent write speed of around 4.5 MB/s and a consistent read speed of around 16 MB/s.

As is the case with my Evo, most smart phones on the market today (Evo, Incredible, Droid, etc) aren't designed by default to take advantage of higher speeds that higher class cards offer. You will probably not notice the benefits of anything over a class 4 card. However, if your phone is rooted then you do have some control over changing settings that might let you benefit from higher class cards. But even so, a good quality class 4 card should be more than enough to meet all your music, photo, and video needs. (I will take a class 4 Sansisk over a higher class card of any other brand for use in my phone any time)

But... Since we all have diffent phones, and since there are all sorts of different opinions on the subject when you read all the Micro SD card reviews, let me offer this simple advice...

Buy an original Sandisk card, in original packaging, so you can feel pretty safe you're getting the real deal. Counterfeit cards are rampant, and many unsuspecting people get screwed because of that.

I like Sandisk because they are always reliable, with sustained read/write speeds. Many other brands offer cheaper cards that only burst at the rated speeds, instead of cards that sustain rated speeds. You wouldn't know this just from looking at the packaging. So stick with Sandisk. They might cost a bit more, but the quality you get is worth a couple bucks.

Buy one directly from Amazon, or other big name store, where you know you will have a hassle free return policy. I avoid most smaller resellers with SD cards. I bought mine from Costco, and would only buy one here if it was sold directly from Amazon, and not through a reseller.

When you get your card, test it right away with benchmarking software that will measure it's correct size, and it's proper write/read speeds, to be sure you have a genuine, quality product of the rated speed. Otherwise, you might not realize you're using a counterfeit until it's too late and you've lost data.

Anyway, these are just some thoughts after reading so many reviews about negative experiences people have had in buying Micro SD cards.

Thanks.

Great game helps to keep mind fresh

TechPistols Mahjong Classic Free

TechPistols Mahjong Classic Free

Hooked it up, searched in youtube for relevant video to determine settings to send vid and audio to tv. Did not plug into my home theatre receiver yet only because it was just a quick hookup. Initially, without tweaking any settings on the mac all I got was the wallpaper of the mac. After viewing the youtube video, this is how I did the settings:
1) go to Systems Preferences, click on Display (the menu will be seen on the tv)
2) click on Arrangement and click on Mirror Display
3) go back to the menu and click Sound and select hdmi cable and that will get the sound through hdmi to your tv.
and that's all there is to it. The link I used was
[...]
And under $9 for the cable. Not bad.
Update 5/9/2012 - connected to a/v receiver and watched a netflix streamed movie. Worked perfectly. A note of caution, if you purchase an extension to use with this cable you may not get the result you want. I got "unsupported signal...." with a skinny 10 ft cable. Other reviewers said the same thing for that cable. You might be better off opting for a longer mini display port to hdmi instead.
