Help - all I want is a case that fits no keyboard

[JaniceH]

Hi all
I was bought a Scroll Excel tablet for my birthday yesterday However...Im having trouble finding a case WITHOUT a keyboard that actually fits it and doesnt obscure the on/off switch, so something like I have for my Kindle that looks like a book cover. Ive checked ebay, Play.com and Amazon and either they have flimsy elastic in each corner or three tabs which look like the tablet can slide out the side. I rang StorageOptions and a specific case wasnt actually made but they said that there were some compatible ones out there.

Can anyone give me any links to any proper cases which will hold the tablet securely, not have flimsy fixtures and will fit please. I dont want a bag/sock type case as I dont want to have to keep taking it in or out of something.

Thank you

Hi JaniceH,

I don't know if the situation is still the same, but, I could not find a case that would fit in a similar way to the Kindle. In the end I ordered a Kindle Fire case from 7dayshop and modified it.

I made the following modifications to the case to get my Scroll Excel (2.3) to fit:
- Cut a hole for the power connector and headphone sockets... I used a leather hole punch to achieve this;
- Unstitch the 3 side panels so they are not double stiched against the back, they are now only single stitched. I melted the nylon thread to stop it fraying.

Outstanding problems:
- The camera is covered over, as I do not need to use it I have not bothered with making a hole.
- The 3 control buttons are hidden, but, function through the case with out a problem. It takes a little getting used to where the buttons are located, but, I have not found it a problem.

I have had the case for 4 months and it is still wearing well. I can position the stand, when in landscape, to 2 positions using the flap. For travelling, the flap fully covers the front of the screen and is held by magenetic bar built into the case. The case completely encloses the tablet although there is a slight protrusion on either side.

Hope that helps - tenter

i got one very simil;ar to Tenter from amazon for £3.45 and did exactly the same modifications except i was not confident the the tabs were double stiched so i superglued along where i had cut the stitching on the four tabs had it for 6 months now snug as a bug i did not make a hole for the on button as the leather is fairly soft and can press it through the side leather no probs made hole for power supply and headphones usb was accsesable
