Targus Truss Case

[kes601]

So, I as at Best Buy this morning had found a new case for the a500:

So far I am digging it. The only problem is that the headphone port gets blocked, now you can manually move the thing a bit and put headphones in, but I see no reason why they couldn't have designed it better.

I took back the Acer case and got the Targus leather case...I like it a lot better. It's more solid and the kickstand feature is much better than Acer's.

I love my targuss case also, granted i think they could of done a slight better in the design also. The front cam gets slightly blocked also along with the head phones.

I also love this case
Its waaaaay better than the crappy Navitech case that I made a mistake in purchasing.
Im just afraid of the elastic part or one of the leather corner tab things breaking off at some point. Hopefully if they ro, this case would be so old at the time that it wouldnt matter.

Looks nice. Does it support the case in portrait mode? All the pictures only show it in landscape.

Here's another one from a different brand that looks a lot like the Targus listed above, and it's $10.00 cheaper:
Amazon.com: BLUREX Leather Slim folio Case With Multi-Angle Stand for ACER ICONIA TAB A500: Electronics

However, I've never heard of Blurex, so no telling what the quality will be. That's the problem with new products like tablet accessories - very few user reviews yet!

It is a great case.....but portrait is a bit awkard.

Just picked up the Targus Truss case today at BB (Amazon has gone up a bit in price so now they're even-steven even with BB tax). I really like it. I can see how it would block the headphone jack a bit, but I don't use it. It doesn't cover the front facing camera at all like I read somewhere. My only concern is wearing out the flap stretchy thing moving it back and forth. I read e-books in portrait mode, so I'm a bit concerned about that. At least I can put it in my breifcase now with no worries. Very nice leather, stitching and styling. Already had nice comments on it.

Thumbs up.
