Title: Tablet case advice desired
Post by: yamahonkawazuki on November 03, 2014, 02:18:31 PM
Ive got an lg gpad 8.3 lte tablet which i use for my duties at church and other places. As clumsy as i am ive yet to scratch the screen or body, screen is gorilla glass 2, tab. Model is vk - 810. Seems i cant find an otterbox which would fit it. My ankles gave out the other day and i fell down yettmiraculously no scratches need an armoured case. Anyone recommend something ideal, cheaper the better, BUT has to protect it from me lol
Vielen dank

Can't really help you on the case part, but I did want to plug the Gorilla Glass and it's durability.

I've dropped my Droid RAZR at work at my machine shop a couple of times and even had it land face down on the glass.  Despite the concrete and steel chips, it doesn't have any damage that isn't superficial.
I also place my phone face down on tables and such all the time, don't even think about it, and frequently use it as a "mirror" to look at dial indicators behind die blocks I am working on.
There are some extremely minor scratches on the glass, only visible at the right angle, that I think were caused by actually bumping it into tooling or sharp machined edges/corners.

If the decision for a case comes down to whether or not it has a screen protector, I think it can be overlooked as long as your tablet has genuine Gorilla Glass.

Don't know if you found one yet but here's one:

Seems like an otterbox-esque case.
