I ordered this case without trying it out. The dimensions said that the G-Pad will fit with 1mm to spare on top and bottom. When I got it, the tablet did not fit quite as well as I expected - I could stuff it in there against the foam liner and close the case, but it required some effort and did not feel like the seal would work well.
I decided to modify the case with a Dremel.
You can see the results in the photos below - it doesn't look pretty, but it fits the tablet very well. There is a relatively thin amount of padding on the top and bottom, but it is still decent, and the tablet should not sustain any damage if it falls, in my opinion. There is still some space on the left/right, so it moves a bit, but there is a good amount of padding so I'm not too worried about it.
Overall, if you're looking for a tough/waterproof case, this is a great option if you don't mind 5 minutes of work to make it fit. This mod can also be done with a box cutter if you don't have a Dremel.

"not tight fitting, can slip out"
I had high hopes for this exact skin, then read reviews on AArchosFans.com I think
The main cons were: iirc -not tight fitting, will slip out of skin, -the skin does not cover bezel around screen enough -collected dirt and static -smelled
Now, I could accept everything but "not tight fitting, can slip out" that would suck if a skin cover caused a tablet drop. anyone with first hand experience with this on a 80 G9, chime in
Just got one today for my 80. It's true its not all that tight, especially at the top and bottom (in landscape) but it wraps round far enough at the sides that I can't imagine it would actually fall out very easily. I'm happy with it.
Thanks,

Self-Adhesive Black Leatherette Case for $6 w/free shipping

I picked one of these up last week and it's fantastic. I was never a fan of leather cases that clamp on or wrap around the front of your device.
This leaves the Fire "naked" inside the case by using an adhesive pad like in some of the more expensive cases I've seen for the iPad. Removing/replacing the Kindle on the pad is pretty simple, but it doesn't feel like the Fire is going anywhere. Stitching is well done (another pet peeve of mine), and the magnetic latch seems decent.
I'm too lazy to take my own pic, so here you go (more at the link):

Edited original to reflect price drop/cheaper location.
I've had this case for over a month now, and I'm still well pleased with it. Durable, and the adhesive seems to still stick/unstick really well.

Orzly SoftSkin 10 PACK

When I bought my MotoG in December I also ordered this pack of silicon mate feel cases.
Orzly SoftSkin 10 PACK: http://www.amazon.co.uk/SoftSkin-PU...qid=1396033767&sr=8-1&keywords=orzly+softskin
The feel is quite good, are very soft, with a mate looking. The adjust is not very straight, but rarely its removed when I take the phone out of my pocket. The silicon has not been deteriored in this 3 months of use... instead the white one, that is more used, keeps good. The silicon is a dust magnet, so my back cover don't have a good looking, but notihng you can't clean easily.

Personally I'm very happy with this cases, I have a big hand so the MotoG without case doesn't fit very well on my hand, so the extra size of the case helps me for having a great grip of the phone. They are quite cheap, so I think it was a good deal.
Do they fit well on the phone? Can you upload a photo of the phone with one of them?

Great looking genuine handmade leather cases (with free shipping)

It took a while to find these, but they look great.

Free shipping doesn't hurt either!
Here is the one I ordered:

Not bad. I would have maybe gone for one of the wallet style cases, but I don't like the white stitching on the front.
Looks good, I'm not sure why they didn't use a photo of the z3c for the z3c case though. What kind of phone is that anyway?
If it's the same as the pic then for me its a shame they left the micro usb uncovered like that. Ive had a couple of cases with that design concept and they just aren't strong enough on that side.
Still, looking forward to hearing how it goes

Bought the transparent one for my golden Razr 2019.
Fits and holds perfectely to the phone. It gives an almost perfect protection to the phone, only the back of the hinge is left unprotected when the phone is closed (beside applying a thin plastic protecting layer, nothing else really possible here).
Only bad thing is the shipping cost to europe: almost $ 20.- for a very long shipping of a little more than 2 weeks... So almost $ 50.- for this cover, huu! But certainly the best you can find. Its some kind of hard silicon/TPU, a little soft but not too much, so that it can hold tight to the sides of the phone, and the lower part also covers the front, only leaving the fingerprint reader uncovered. Hopefully it won't get yellow with the time.
Beautiful! really elegant, thanks for sharing
