@kuduku, update us about the duty charged and marked value on package once you receive your case.

 

[kuduku]

Still not received SNS has screwed up royally on my packages

No duty as I said and total shipping paid was 390 , some system error

Marked value will be 25 only as I had sent invoice

If you send the invoice marked value is same , thats my experience of using SNS more than 20 times

HP Touchpad Case vs Targus Truss Case Review - Pics inside - PreCentral Forums

Thankfully, I got my HK case which I ordered from Ebay.com and it's great! I'm going to use that instead of the iPad 1 case.

Would anybody be interested in buying the iPad case from me (for a lesser price than what I paid, of course) or should I keep it as an expensive backup?

Got my touchpad and selected the country as India, now it turns out I can't seem to use my kindle account as the app itself is not available for India. how to get out of this situation?

Update: Managed to make it work with impostah, created a new profile and the next time HP App Catalog launched, selected US as the country

Or just get the ipk file online and install it manually

I did the same thing as well...created another account with US as the country.

I'm giving the iPad case to my brother who got a 32GB, so am very happy about it.

What payment method are TouchPad owners here using for buying paid apps form the HP App Catalog?

 

[JT_daniel]

You can't pay with an Indian CC. So those who wanted to pay (like me) were forced to turn to the ipk's freely available on the internet. :/

So Guys.Anyone interested in GO ? or everyone got it on his own.

I am ordering following items.

Acase HP Touchpad

Skinomi Full Body Protection.

Dont like zaggs. sure they are good in screen protector business but that orange hue makes screen looks awful.

 

[kuduku]

shipped to India in $7 , try these

eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

 

[cisco_tech]

kuduku. Thats looks good protector. Gonna get that xtremeguard then.

 

[raksrules]

Which case should i buy ? Something that can double up as a stand will be great but don;t really want to spend a fortune on this. I saw people mentioning in this thread and on SD about the verizon case for 5$ but it seems it involves some modding and all. I am not interested in doing all this and would require a case which is actually made for the touchpad. Can anyone suggest what options i have ??

May be Hongkong sellers on ebay.com ?? If anyone has links for any such sellers please suggest.

Also do i really need a screen protector to put on this thing ?? I cannot even put a screen protector on a phone myself i guess so am not sure if i can do it on this big thing and if i ruin it then it will be waste of money.

 

[raksrules]

How is this pad for the touchpad ? Can get it for like 13$ shipped (after some sort of coupon)

HHI HP TouchPad Folio Flip Case with Multi-Function Stand - Black

Or are there any better and cheaper options on ebay.com ??

Please suggest.

This is one more but it seems the same as above one and cheaper

Guys i had ordered on ebay cheapo TP case with the stand and stuff and Acase one

The quality difference is huge in ebay and acase

Acase is real leather and really good

ebay one does give the cheap case feel , it is not the comparison of function as both can do the same

acase is slightly heavier but good

ebay one 600 and acase 1800 shipped , so the price difference negates the quality difference

If i pay 3 times the amount of a cheap one then it is expected that a better quality will come

so now all those on fence can decide if it helps any body

yesterday installed the skinomi full body skin . It was a pain to stick the small strips and corners of the back

but quality is good and gives full protection to TP

I have got a spare leather case for the HP TP. Please let me know, if any one is interested for 550 shipped. I placed the order first only for this. Then cancelled and ordered this with something else. So both arrived and my CC got charged for both.
