Boxwave Accessories now released for 10.1

http://www.boxwave.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-101-p7510-accessories/bwdd/zzzk
I have been buying BoxWave ClearTouch Crystal screen protectors for all of my devices for years, and they are PERFECT.
No solutions, no bubbles, 100% clear, you can clean and re-use them, they are static-cling, they fit perfect, very scratch resistant, etc..
I have these on my Canon 5D MkII camera, my Droid X, and other things.
My Droid X has had the same one on for over a year now when I first got it and it is in near-perfect condition. No I am not a salesperson for BoxWave lol.
Although there are some accessories out now for the 10.1, the screen protectors are not yet. I emailed them and they said they will be soon though.
That FlexSuit case looks cool but I think it's similar to those really cheap ones on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200624247046&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

I doubt it's the same. I am sure the BoxWave one is better quality and that the design is slightly different as they usually have higher-quality products. Similar though, yes...

Didn't see it anywhere on the site but do you know if they make screen protectors for it. If you say they are good and aren't to crazy on price, i'd be interested in picking one up.

Yeah they said it will be released soon. Ill be gettin one.

I just bought the armor suit in the mean time. When you get it post a review up on how you like. I'd like to know how it looks and feels.

Since all of the information here has helped me out substantially since receiving my tablet, I wanted to let everyone know what is happening with Boxwave.
I ordered "FlexSuit , Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 P7510, Smoke Grey - Qty: 2" for the I/O model (for a colleague and myself). The package took several days to ship and about 3 weeks to arrive in Vancouver, Canada. The package contained 2 x smoke flexsuits for the Xoom. Upon notifying Boxwave, I was told that it would be corrected soon by cross ship and Boxwave would reimburse me up to $5 USD since I would have to pay for the Xoom cases to be returned. I told them it was unlikely I could return these items for that little from Vancouver, and requested that they send a preauthorized envelope. The support person got back to me a couple of days later letting me know that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 flexsuits had been discontinued and that was the source of the confusion, and said preauthorized shipping from Canada was not a possibility. They could now authorize more than $5 for the shipment.
Anyway, I will have to return the shipment out of my own pocket to have any chance of a refund.

Does anyone know if the antiglare screen protector dulls the screen's color or output? I have the Invisible Shield, but has its corners messed up from the media dock. It also seems to pick up little "dimples" over time. For some reason, my Evo 4G kept getting the same dimples over time and done know what causes it.

[Q] Skinomi or Zagg screen protector?

As stated in the object, based on your experience which one would you suggest me for this beautiful phone?
Thank you..

Never used Skinomi but zagg is pretty good, used it on my atrix

Never liked zagg, it turns yellow and grungy. I have had them replace it a few times but it sucks that I need to pay shipping on a warranty.

Ive used neither. I have ordered a skinomi in anticipation of getti g my nexus hopefully in the next couple of weeks.

Oh forgot to mention, i usually order a bunch of el cheapos from hong kong. Premium protectors usually do last longer, but if you find some decent cheap ones it can be more economical. I usually get 5 for $4 shipped from hk, and the skinomi i just ordered was $6 for one. Usually 2 or 3 premium ones are $10-$15. Doing the math and usually changing protectors about every 6 weeks id rather buy 10 from hk and that will last the life of the phone.

I've always been a big fan of ZAGG protectors. I have them on most of my devices. They can be a REAL pain to apply, but once you get the hang of it, it's not so bad. I've never had a problem with them. I did screw up an installation once.. was a bit too aggressive with the squeegee, left a bunch of marks, but they were nice enough to ship me a free replacement
This time, I'm trying Skinomi. Mainly because ZAGG now charges a ridiculous shipping fee for Canada ($17 on a 12$ protector!!). Whereas Skinomi ships for free to Canada.
Anyways whichever you decide, here are some lovely coupon codes
skinomi: get25 (25% off)
zagg: youmobile (cant remember but it was 3$ off my order)

I ordered a Zagg. Also have one on my Vibrant and I'm used to it. Very durable and wipes clean since it does collect smudges easily. Replacement warranty is good, too.

If you're in the states, verizon sells a 3pack of pretty decent screen protectors. I picked mine up at a local store.

never buy accessories from a verizon store. they rip u off.

Waiting for the martin fields screen and camera protector. Should be available shortly after the galaxy nexus gets released in Asia (whenever that may be).
My friend has it on his S2 and I didn't even realize it was on.

Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App on UNL3ASH3D R3BLURR3D V2.3 and will continue to be sent from here until I buy the Galaxy Nexus 32GB

I always use Zagg on all my electronics. JSYK www.zagg.com is running 50% off today and tomorrow site wide and free shipping for orders over $29.99. I got my GN and full body MacBook Air shiel for $34.99 shipped.

I was using Zagg Invisibleshield in my last 2 devides (Nokia E61 and currently the Nexus).
However, I bought the LG Nexus 4 yesterday, and I wanted to buy the Hi-Def Insisible Shield (not available yet to Nexus 4).
Because of that, I will try a different protection and buy the Skinomi for a change (front and back cover).

Tested zagg before. Lasted less than a month. Hate the feel, hate the orange peel, hate the yellowish color. Bought skinomi and everything was better

I bought a zagg screen protector at radioshack last week for $4.50 and it looks really nice on the phone

I really like XO protectors. And If you want more economical packaging and save some money you can get a skin from bestskinsever.com. 2.95 shipping in the US

I will never buy anything other than Skinomi protectors anymore. They are really easy to set properly and the protection is great. I've used them on 3 Android phones, all from different manufacturers and they work amazingly.
Never tried Zagg since I started using Skinomi first.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I have an extra skinomi screen protector, with the entire package. I can send it to you for free if you just pay for the shipping.
I don't really like the rubber feel that comes with skinomi/zagg protectors, although it offers probably the maximum amount of protection you can get with screen protectors

I can definitely vouch for skinomi. i've had it for my last two phones, and i don't think id get any other brand. one think that i didn't even realize i appreciated about their protectors after buying an alternate brand is that they make the screen look really nice. they don't take away or interfere with the color at all. very appreciated. got another brand of screen protector when i first got my gn, and its like it put a matte finish on my screen.
i do swear that next time, if i can find someone to put my screen protector on, i will pay them to do it. i am terrible at it apparently. i have tried ALL the tricks. steam.... steam... you name it.
there was a tiny tiny speck of dust that made a little bubble on the screen, and my skinomi was on a bit crooked and it kept creating bubbles in the corners where my case overlapped. it drove me insane, so i just took it off.
i go commando now. screen looks awesome BTW.

Portenzo 10% New Nexus 7 cases

Just got an email with 10% off secret sale
Use code "NEWNEX" during checkout.
I already ordered one at full price. Wonder if they'll apply it to my preorder?
[EDIT] They said no. Supposedly I bought one at the Introductory price ($5 off). Oh well. 10% off is still cool. It typically covers shipping.

Acase Superleggera PRO

i know that slim/sleek/svelte is all the rage these days, but if you're like me, you're paranoid about drops. i've used this case on my n4 since day one and couldn't be happier with it. i'm definitely picking up an n5 version of it when i get around to ordering my n5. (which should be tomorrow, woo!)
just wanted to throw this case out there as option for those who want more serious protection than the slim and hybrid stuff currently out there. if this case is anything like it's n4 counterpart, it's not going to add a ton of bulk to the phone. i think the protection/bulk trade-off is right in a sweet spot with this case.
here's a link:
http://www.amazon.com/Acase-Google-Nexus-Superleggera-Protection/dp/B00GAF30N8
i'll be sure to return to this thread with pics when i have the phone and case in hand.

This seems similar to the dual layer Incipio cases for some phones. If it is then I agree this is a great balance for cases offering heavy duty protection.

I ordered the white one on Nov 1st and was expected to ship on the 12th, never got a shipping confirmation so I'm assuming mine was delayed too. Disappointing but at least I got it with the free shipping offer!

That's annoying. I was looking forward to seeing if the Nexus 5 case lived up to the 4's well deserved hype. I've ordered two cases already for a combined $13, but I was looking at also getting this case for the best protection.

we just ordered one the other day and got a shipping confirmation for the purple one saying it was on the way...

Did you order it through the Digital Media Source or the CTC store, they both offered the same products, but getting it through CTC store was half the price.

Sorry i was mistaken, I think it was actually $0.99 with $4.50 shipping when I ordered the white one. Still no shipping confirmation... It was suppose to be delivered by the 19th. I'll give them a day or two more before I ask about it. Not really in a hurry as I have the Spigen Ultra Hybrid as well as the Am Case bumper delivering today.

CTC Store... I'm a cheap ass lol.

Did the CTC store shutdown or something? None of the nexus 5 acases are available to purchase from them, and the CTC store (on amazon) doesn't seem to be selling anything at all.

yeah I'm beginning to think something is up with the CTC store myself. The low prices seem to good to be true. Mine say it has shipped and was supposed to be delivered already but I have yet to see it.

I had an order in at that price but I cancelled it, now I regret it, I can't find the cheaper listing now...

I'll go and contact them tonight and see what is with them dissaperaing on amazon.

I also noticed CTC store had pretty much disappeared.
I cancelled my order with them around 4pm est and bought it from another vendor.
At 5:30pm est they sent me a message telling me that they're sorry, they shipped my package today, and to write "REFUSED" on it and send it back.
At 6:15pm est they sent me a notification saying it had shipped.
I'm going to play along and give them the benefit of the doubt, but the way they're going about things seems very peculiar.

Where can I buy this case shipped to or in Canada?

Egh I have this for the Nexus 4 and it gets damaged so easily on the back. The material takes permanent scratches like nothing.

Spigen still hasn't shipped mine and it's been a week since my order. My suggestion is to buy from Amazon as a shipper.

Yeah. Got mine from eBay and got it 2 days later. I just ordered another Spigen case from eBay to review. So maybe go the eBay route.

They probably want to keep those eBay ratings high. I sent them an email through Amazon's email system and haven't gotten a response in the last 3 days...

They didn't respond to my email earlier this week either. I agree with his statement of poor customer service. My items were marked ship early last week, yet UPS still hasn't actually/physically received my shipments.

Hm that's very disappointing then. I had a good experience although I did order mines on a amazon prime eligible order so it arrived in two days. Ordered on Saturday afternoon and received it on Monday. Came via usps

Amazon as a seller/shipper has always been good to me. I'm probably going to complain to Amazon about Spigen's shipping issues.

Finally got my Ultra Case. It took a day longer than it should have, even through Amazon Prime. Overall, the case is good. However, the button feedback is okay to poor. The back is very clear and solid. Another small gripe that I have is that there is a big gap over the microUSB that allows dust and lint to crawl through and is visible through the back.

Received mine ordered through Amazon on Friday. Great case.

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED with Spigen.
Ordered the Spigen Grey Ultra Hybrid and Champagne Slim Armor from their Spigen eBay store.
Ordered on Wednesday Nov 6th at 5:16:20 PM EST, paid immediately seconds later by PayPal.
Order finally shipped Saturday Nov 9th at 1:37 PM EST
3 fricking days to actually ship the item?

I ordered mine on Monday and it still hasn't shipped. Well, to be accurate, Spigen marked it as shipped on Amazon days ago, but the status still reads on UPS: Shipment information received by UPS Mail Innovations
UPS still doesn't show that the package is in their possession.

Button feedback sucks and I agree with the above: big gap by the micro USB port open to lint.. Boo

Personal Thoughts
I've been using one for a few days now
Pros -
Sturdy
Comes with screen protector
Transparent back
Rubber feet on corners to keep phone flat on table
Cons:
Very flat on back (not ergonomic)
Hard to find buttons without looking
Poor button response (little to no click feeling)
Clear back is very smudgey.
Dust...dust collects everywhere
I like the case well enough for what it is, but the phone feels so nice naked, it's hard to be happy with anything covering it. I'm considering trying the Diztronic.
