IQ case/jacket for Pocketbook IQ? - Page 2

frodo_lives · 01-10-2011, 02:04 PM

I got mine at Best Buy. It's a leather hard cover made for a cruz tablet not cruz reader( it's not as wide). Love mine. Solid build and fits very snug.

I know the link is the manufacturer but best buy in KC has them for 35.00.
Look around to cruz readers kiosk not the ereader area. It was in the media player section. ( Archos, cruz, and other video players)

had to make a modification for the home buttons of the bottom. Razer blade. But it is a perfect fit.

Here you go

For anybody looking for a low-cost K2 case that *will* hold the IQ via velcro, check this:

fjtorres,

That case has straps at the corner. Are you saying that those straps will not hold the IQ in place?

Cheers

The straps on the outside do, the elastic on the inside won't; the case is intended for the narrower K2.
The center spine has a loop for a pen or stylus, which provides the extra width to let the IQ fit in.

Well, drat.

I've already ordered a case from Oberon.
<shrug> I suppose there are always returns. OTOH, I might just fall in love--if the thing works. I'll let you know.

Well dang it, they won't ship to my location!

You could buy saturngirl's case

Well, that would be no

I've been using my Oberon case for my IQ for the last two weeks, and it's pretty nice. They don't make a version with Velcro anymore, so I've got the straps. The bungie for the right corner is superfluous; the fit is fairly tight and so once you've slide on the other three leather corner straps, you don't need the bungie at all. So far so good; the case is wide enough but because the fit is so tight, the leather doesn't lie exactly flat. I've included shots so you'all can see. As you'll also note, the top left corner strap hides the on/off button, but since I use a stylus, this isn't a problem.

Will I keep it? Sure. I like the look and because the fit is SO snug, there's no danger of the thing popping out.

You know . . . it works

hiaig · 02-06-2011, 02:08 PM

a very nice case indeed. I am waiting for the "low-cost" K2 case to arrive.

I used to spend so much money on cases in my pda days. I have a collection of expensive leather cases for devices that are now obsolete so I convinced myself not to splurge on cases for the IQ.

Cheers

I'll keep looking, then.

I'd like to get something that has a hard cover so I can protect the screen, as there are many things in my handbag that I constantly worry will damage it.

I don't think BestBuy ships to Bosnia. I tried to buy some things from them a while back, but wasn't able to. *goes to check* Ha, see:

International Orders
Shipping Outside the U.S.

We can ship your BestBuy.com order to any of these locations:

* U.S. states
* U.S. Virgin Islands
* Guam
* APO/FPO (military) addresses

We cannot ship to other countries. Both the billing and shipping addresses must be in one of the locations above.

Plus I don't think I could justify paying that much for a cover, and I always have to take shipping cost into account. It's quite possible to discover in the process of ordering something that I'd pay more for shipping than the actual object I'm trying to buy. (I wish there was some sort of shipping calculator so I can have at least an inkling of how much something could cost me.)

Google search turns up this sturdy looking thing: BookArmor for Pandigital Novel with a price I could live with, but it's showing as out of stock, and frankly even if it wasn't I'm reluctant to click to add only to find out I can't have it.

(Just checked: there's BookArmor for Pandigital on Amazon, bu I can't get it from there either.)

frodo_lives · 02-08-2011, 01:54 PM

Didn't realize you were in Bosnia. I got a good deal on that case about a month ago for $30.00.
Fits perfect and really sturdy. Maybe it'll be a sale again.

citac · 02-08-2011, 03:56 PM

Well, unless they change their policy, I don't think I'll be buying from them anytime soon.

Yes, it sucks being in Bosnia. There are many books and other things I can't get because of where I live, or if I can they cost me an arm and a leg, and I'm on a tight budget.

More than a handful of these on Ebay:
