Guest Ste_B Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 I've just ordered one of those ZT180 cases from a UK seller (needed it quickly for a holiday) - should be here this week so I'll post a "review" when it gets here.. Excellent. Thanks very much ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest newbe5 Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) Just thought I would show you what accessories I have atm Keyboard is this one http://www.ebuyer.com/product/233153 Works very well, keys are rubber and it has non-slip rubber feet too. The KB is about 6mm wider than the Vega (looks bigger in my pic) Stand is this http://www.play.com/Electronics/Electronic...ad/Product.html Had to make a modification to the stand as its not adjustable for the viewing angle of the Vega (2nd pic) What launcher is that?

Guest pdej Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 What launcher is that? Toshiba one - if you do a search it comes up and easy to play with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest xathras Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) I just wanted a cheap cover/sleeve type thing....ordered this and it fits a treat http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/10-2-ANDROID-TABLET-...#ht_5347wt_1272 Finally decided to ditch the slip case I made from a cut-down padded bag and several yards of parcel tape on the day my Vega arrived, and the one mentioned here seemed to fit the bill. If there is anybody else out there who likes this style of case I can confirm that it is a very good fit. If you have kept the white foam sheet that came in the Vega box you can put that in the case and leave it there (it's an EXACT fit). Slide the Vega into the case with its screen side to the foam and you have a very nicely padded tablet (see photos). For the price (£4.49) I found it a good buy. As it happens it's also a good fit for my Acer Aspire One netbook, so I'll be buying a second one. My only other accessory so far is a folding stand originally designed for the iPad that I bought before the folding plate display stand got posted. It's multi-adjustable and gives the Vega a stable stand in landscape and portrait modes. Go to Google shopping and enter the search term "folding iPad stand" and you'll find it available from several suppliers at different prices.

I want that! by far the most universal stand I have seen so far that doesn't just appear to be made bespoke for Ipads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest andrewdolphin Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 I've just ordered one of those ZT180 cases from a UK seller (needed it quickly for a holiday) - should be here this week so I'll post a "review" when it gets here. Arrived today - it's a very good fit however as you can expect it hasn't been designed with the Advent hard buttons in mind. Putting it in the right way up blocks the back button and the USB / HDMI access port. Putting it in upside down means the port access is OK when unclipped and a bit more of the back button is accessible - what I hadn't realised is that the stock video player doesn't flip when the unit is upside down! Some slight modification might be in order! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dukla2000 Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Arrived today - it's a very good fit however as you can expect it hasn't been designed with the Advent hard buttons in mind. Also got mine today, as you say some mods are coming up! First the screen doesn't recline far enough, maybe to 45° but I want about 30°, so figure to remove the leg and re-attach so I get the angle I want. Also the bottom of my screen is covered - need to trim away some of the 'leather'! Will give some idea of the challenge to make a hole for the camera. But definately worth £8.65!

Guest andrewdolphin Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 .. So it's OK for the price you paid? Might give it a go myself then. ;) Yes very happy actually. Feels pretty sturdy and will protect the Vega well. I've cut through the part blocking the ports and it still feels fine and the back button is actually fine to press through the faux leather piece covering it.
