yeah, they charged an extra $8-$12 to help pad things. Someone probably figured out that everyone would bitch but still bite, and they could pick up an extra $10 on every tablet sold during the sale.
Been looking at cases for this thing, it's such a crapshoot.
In reading amazon reviews, there are several issues people run into:
1. Full button functionality (bezel covered/buttons covered)
2. Charging with the touchstone through the case (touchstone is a wireless charging dock, kinda like sonicare)
3. Durability/quality of protection
4. Looks (the four elastic band models can look tacky)
5. Lightweight (I'd prefer not to constantly remove this thing to use it because the case is bulky)
For me, I really want something that'll protect the thing, not obscure buttons, maybe have a kickstand, not fall apart in 3 months, and "maybe" look like leather.
Torn on picking up a full body skin, or just a screen protector. Application of a full body seems like it'd be a PITA, and I dunno how it would hold up on the edges.
Also like the idea of a zipper case/carry case. Would be great if there was a 2 in 1, super lightweight case with a kickstand that slips inside a carry case.
The incipio looked popular, but now it's only in tan. Allows for a kickstand at different angles. It's $15, but guess it was as low as $9 shipped over thanksgiving. Don't think/know if they'll get more of these in. Only sales seem to be through their own website.
