Thinking of buying one for my mom, but can't find a cover that is made for it or garanteed to fit.

R2699 ex VAT @ Esquire
CT branch cant answer my questions on the cover and don't have any 32GB Micro SD in stock.

Are there other covers that will fit? Don't want to buy this and have to carry it around in a shopping bag.
 
The Geeko Premium Tablet PC is good value for money for the specs and features ,

The Covers are an issue and we are addressing it with a company in China to manufacture

MicroSD cards currently were way overpriced as pricing went up 28% in December 2012
We however do have 1500 units of the 32GB and 350 of the 64GB stock arriving sometime this week, Stocks that we were selling were still at the old pricing that is why they sold out now

But to be honest you will be wasting money buying an external 32Gb memory card now as the Geeko Premium does comes standard with 16gb onboard which is ample storage to start off with

EDIT: we just found that stk# 439626 is perfect to carry the tablet around as it protects the unit from accidental damage and is at R69.00excl vat http://www.manhattan-products.com/en-US/products/9628-tablet-bubble-case

I have 2 units on order, but I am holding back on the payment until I have a solution for the case question. The bubble case is only a 50% solution. Need something to protect it while it is being used.

A cover that doubles as a stand for the tablet.
 
Does this mean that I get no commitment from Esquire that there will be a cover for this unit in the near future?

I did not say no commitment just not promising it going to happen immediately as our office in China is busy with a factory to make one ,
The issue we have is that no other OEM tablet from other factories have the same bezel otherwise it would have been very easy to get one

We already sold 372 units of the Geeko Premium and 495 of the Geeko Junior and already have another 400 (GP)and another 1000(GJ)units arriving shortly
So the issue of the cover will become a must to get.

Btw the Geeko Smart comes with a standard slim Cover included
