Guest Burns Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 I bought this one - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=180613625503 - paid a bit more to get it quick Have seen this UK store, not sure if they're reputable or not - http://www.thecheaplaptops.co.uk/leather-c...tabl-p-473.html Or any of these - http://shop.ebay.co.uk/i.html?_nkw=zt-180+...6.c0.m270.l1313 thanks, one question: how much of the front bezel does it cover, is literally just the screen that is not covered?
Guest andrewdolphin Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 thanks, one question: how much of the front bezel does it cover, is literally just the screen that is not covered? It covers all of the bezel with just the screen showing.
Guest Burns Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 thanks, one question: how much of the front bezel does it cover, is literally just the screen that is not covered? Would this fit ok? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Leather-Case-Cover-1...9#ht_5559wt_952
Guest andrewdolphin Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 Would this fit ok? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Leather-Case-Cover-1...9#ht_5559wt_952 I would say yes - looks exactly the same as what I have - it'll have the same port covering issues as the one I have but fixable with a simple snip of the scissors!

Guest Nemes1s Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 For what it's worth, I brought the official Vega case. Very nice, good fit and all buttons etc exposed as you would expect. Have had it about a month now and the joint where it folds has started to come apart. Trouble is to use the Vega you need to fold the cover back on itself which causes a strain on the fold. So not ideal really - especially when you think of the cost of it. It sits mostly on the coffee table so I think what I really want is a sort of back protector that stops the back getting scratched up. After a few days before I got the cover, it already picked up some scratches. Hey ho...

Any chance of sharing some photos with the Vega fitted please? :lol: Torn between this one and the official one. Unless this one is a good fit I'd probably rather go for the official one despite being twice the price, but also not convinced about the quality of the official one - having looked at it in my local PC World, it seems the material comes off too easily (indeed, the only one they had left had a couple of frayed corners).
Guest Nemes1s Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 Torn between this one and the official one. Torn being the operative word here! My official one has lasted about a month... :lol:

Guest newbe5 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 Sorry to hear it's that bad, and thanks for the info - I think that rules out the official one. :-s I've just had to replace my official Vega case. The small piece of material that turns it into a stand had torn, it's not particuarly well made tbh.

If you want to protect the back of your Vega check out pages 17-20 of this thread and look for posts by Bobbler and me. My carbon fibre style backed Vega looks superb and is protecting it from daily abuse.

Guest extrememonkey Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 What does everyone think of these cases for taking thier Vega, charger, hdd etc out and about? Thinking of ordering one but not sure how reputable the company is, anyone know or heard of them? Vega case

Thinking of ordering one but not sure how reputable the company is, anyone know or heard of them? Vega case A lot of these "Vega" cases are just 10" netbook cases, not that that's a bad thing, just I think they are starting to up the costs by adding the name to the products a bit now. Would sooner try this out at half the price to be honest - http://www.7dayshop.com/catalog/product_in...ducts_id=109388 other colour - http://www.7dayshop.com/catalog/product_in...ducts_id=109389 or this http://www.7dayshop.com/catalog/product_in...ducts_id=107980 7 Day Shop I have used for quite a long time now with no bother at all for my camera accessories dirt cheap too.

Ok, I just bought the official Toshiba Folio 100 cover sleeve and it's more than great! Quality looks pretty good, but whats even better: you can stand the tablet up AND set it to a 30° angle (perfect for typing)... Love it allready! It's a bit pricey (€ 40,-), but worth it! Fits pretty well too! (Even the camera is usable and about 1cm of the black border/bezel is visible too...)

Thinking of ordering one but not sure how reputable the company is, anyone know or heard of them? Vega case Bought it anyway... Wanted something that could be used on a daily basis that would protect and also be able to take power supply, hdd and other bits without being too bulky. Will let people know what it's like once I've received it and tried it out....
Guest alphaola Posted January 23, 2011 Report Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) check out this one. it comes with screen protector. free protector http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...T#ht_500wt_1156 Edited January 23, 2011 by alphaola
Guest rvdgeer Posted January 23, 2011 Report Posted January 23, 2011 check out this one. it comes with screen protector. free protector http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...T#ht_500wt_1156 Yeah, but not every 10.2 inch device has the same dimensions... The one mentioned on that ebay link has a button at the bottom (portrait) of the screen, so the screen protector probably has a hole in it... That's exactly why I fitted the case before I bought it...
Guest tomolewis Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 Seems the £10 discount doesn't work any more?
Guest vegaaccs Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 Hello, I am working on getting the codes up and running again. It is another team that handles them. I will update as soon as I can.

Guest jamesweb Posted January 26, 2011 Report Posted January 26, 2011 I bought this one off eBay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...T#ht_500wt_1156 It doesn't really fit too well the vega is a little too thick for it to close and there is a flap which covers the back button on the top which if very annoying. Think im going to have to go for the official one any news on the promo code?

Think im going to have to go for the official one any news on the promo code? The official one has a tendency to come apart at the seam where it hinges. Not what you would expect for that money. Mine did it in under 4 weeks. Apart from that it's ok.

Think im going to have to go for the official one any news on the promo code? I have this one - its rubbish & not fit for purpose as far as the Vega is concerned. I also have the Dixons official case, which altho very expensive (for what it is), does a better job! The Dixons case at £30 is a bargain compared to the above ebay case @ £14! (Mine was about £7 from HK) Hope this helps :lol:
Guest vegaaccs Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 Our online team have confirmed that the codes are active again. Thanks for your continued support of the Vega. Docks have been ordered and will be online soon. Protect3 Advent10
