Guest T4ylor Posted January 4, 2011 Report Posted January 4, 2011 I am probably being extremely dumb, but the official vega case is supposed to double up as a stand. I have one... but can't work out how the "stand" part works? HALP! :unsure: Thanks When you open the case there is a thin strap located just above the pocket on the flap. Undo the press stud and attached it to the press stud that where you normally secure the case.

Hi, I have the case too but not sure I understand what you mean, ... the best i could figure is turning the studded strap the wrong way round to get a landscape stand but the length of the strap means its not very stable ...... i am being completely dumb or what .... ? :unsure:
Guest remlap Posted January 4, 2011 Report Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) Maybe this be easier :unsure: Edited January 4, 2011 by remlap

Guest T4ylor Posted January 4, 2011 Report Posted January 4, 2011 fantastic, just what I thought he had described anyway Sorry if I did not make it clear. That will teach me to try and multitask lol
Guest ashbash Posted January 4, 2011 Report Posted January 4, 2011 Sorry if I did not make it clear. That will teach me to try and multitask lol Wow how stupid do i feel .... :unsure: thanks guys!
Guest semteXKG Posted January 4, 2011 Report Posted January 4, 2011 Maybe this be easier :unsure: can someone please tell me where to buy that particular case? i honestly wasn't able to find it on the advent page. i don't care about the price, i just want a good fitting case that acts as a stand... I'm from austria, so germany, austria, cheep chinese ebay shop, ... are highly appreciated because of the transportation costs... thanks!

Guest Posted January 4, 2011 Report Posted January 4, 2011 Thanks for that. Now I feel pretty stupid! +1 I've had the bloody thing for 2-3 weeks and just now realised this could be done. There I was wondering why it was so precarious using the short studded strap on the front to convert to a stand. OMG. Anyhow, off to bury my head in shame - :unsure:
Guest princeotter Posted January 4, 2011 Report Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) I found that travel case from an old JBL Onstage 3 Ipod Dock acts a great slip case for the Vega. Just the right size and to give a little bit of padding I have used the bit of thin foam that came in the Vega package to slip in the front to protect the screen Edited January 4, 2011 by princeotter
Guest SeanyF Posted January 5, 2011 Report Posted January 5, 2011 ADVENT10 code no longer works on the Currys site - anybody had any luck with it in the last few days?
Guest jellywobbles Posted January 5, 2011 Report Posted January 5, 2011 Got the same case delivered from these guys for about £6.50 Case link Took about 2 weeks. Have ordered a 10" screen protector as well for about £2. Got them to measure it and it should fit fine. I think accessories for the zt-180 epad should fit the vega as it's similar size Hi .. I have ordered a case as well .. cheers for the tip. Is THIS the screen protector that you have ordered? Has it arrived yet? Cheers
Guest x3noc Posted January 6, 2011 Report Posted January 6, 2011 Anyone found a case yet that you can use to angle the device at 30' for typing? Not a stand as such, just so you dont have to hunch over it when its on your knee... The iPad has this: http://www.johnlewis.com/Shopping/PhotoGal...5068&Zoom=1 If you look at the cover you can see it has a fold a third of the way in. When you open it and fold it back it forms a small stand that elevate the device to a nice angle for typing. Cheers, J
Guest x3noc Posted January 6, 2011 Report Posted January 6, 2011 even this would do... http://www.gearzap.com/ipad-advanced-case-stand-black.html J

As per earlier in this thread still wating for my £8.65 job from China - not sure what angle it will be at max recline though. At worst I will shave a bit off the leg! If you don't want to wait for China methinks I saw someone selling it from the UK for about £12 + about £2 P&P - search ebay for apad case -keyboard.
Guest x3noc Posted January 7, 2011 Report Posted January 7, 2011 Ok - i've found what i think is the right idea.... http://www.aliSPAM.com/product-gs/36343680...or_10_Apad.html we need to order 50 - who's with me? ;-) J
Guest QLF Posted January 7, 2011 Report Posted January 7, 2011 Ok - i've found what i think is the right idea.... http://www.aliSPAM.com/product-gs/36343680...or_10_Apad.html we need to order 50 - who's with me? ;-) J Clearly states it's for the iPad in the description, so won't come close to fitting the Vega. Shame really, as it looks fantastic. Did you get a price for the job lot?

Did you get a price for the job lot? Looks like it says 10" apad/epad which doesnt look too much different in the dimensions.... Be good if it fits!
Guest QLF Posted January 7, 2011 Report Posted January 7, 2011 Looks like it says 10" apad/epad which doesnt look too much different in the dimensions.... Be good if it fits! From the description on the page "This is the special case for New product --iPad. it is very nice and unique. It has a powerful capability for your New iPad. you can let your iPad stand on the desk when you see the movie. It also has some place for your tips, you can add a note in your iPad, conveniently! there is a button on the case, it will keep your iPad in the case, will not slip out, keep your iPad in new condition all the time!!! Material: High-quality artificial leather" Seems to confuse iPad and Epad / Apad throughout the spec. Hopefullt this does fit, as I love the look and functionality. The height to width ratio doesn't look widescreen to me though, so i doubt it's for the Vega.
Guest Lemaru Posted January 7, 2011 Report Posted January 7, 2011 Also states the ZT-180 in the description which some people have had success with the cases fitting... bit of a gamble that one!
Guest remlap Posted January 7, 2011 Report Posted January 7, 2011 Isn't that site bulk orders anyway?
Guest newbe5 Posted January 7, 2011 Report Posted January 7, 2011 When I bought my Vega, I also got it bundled with the Folio Case from Currys. Now, while this case works as a stand perfectly in most situations, you need to have something behind it to stop it from falling flat. So I've come up with a simple but easy idea to solve this issue. There is a tab with a popper on it that is used to keep the case shut when you are carrying it around, but the tab itself is only about two inches long, and so doesn't create enough of a triangle to keep the pad upright during use. So, the idea is to get a short piece of material, about 3 or 4 inches, could be leather, or hessian even, and put an identical sized popper on either end of it, and use it to bridge the gap between the tab and the front of the case. The case is really great though, fits perfectly, has a hole for the camera, and gaps in all the right places for the connectors etc, so I think I am going to try this. I wil post images if it works out :D newbe5
Guest QLF Posted January 7, 2011 Report Posted January 7, 2011 Isn't that site bulk orders anyway? Depends on the item. Several allow orders of 1 or more, but most are 50+
