Hadn't thought about 1 of these, but I guess that screen needs to be protected when not in use..not getting a screen protector though..they're tacky. So, with my ipad I just put in a pouch which is zipped closed, when i want to use it there's no chunky case making it look cheap then. I have a thing about cases..don't really like them.
So for the gamepad I'm probably going to get a similar pouch, I've seen zavi selling one for £7.99.
If you could include photos of what your getting would be cool thanks.
Actually seen a cool looking case in a black ops 2 video...think it said Nerf on the side?
Anywho..what are your thoughts?

I'm on iPhone now and can't load any photos I've seen :s

Im getting this http://www.amazon.co...sr=8-13&pi=SL75 and maybe a hard case of some sort.

Well, I wanted a Hori screen protector, but I'm gonna have to wait until it's released in December. And NO to the case.

That particular case is pretty tacky in my opinion. Personally I'll probably look for a neoprene cover that's made for the Gamepad. Infact I swear I've seen one for sale online somewhere but I can't remember where. As for screen protectors I've never used them on any of my touch screen devices and I'm not going to use one on the Gamepad. For the most part I'll be the only one using it so I'm not to bothered as I know I'll be very careful with it.

Most of the cases I've seen don't look very nice, in my opinion. I guess I'll just be very careful with it.

Yeah, good idea. awh

[Colinx]

I am going to get the Nerf armor because it adds grip and seems to protect it very nicely. Plus you can still charge it with it in the cradle if you have it!

Really? How about the stand that it comes with?

[Hank Hill]

Probably not. I'm usually OCD about the well-being of my controllers, so it doesn't really affect me.

I will however keep a lint free cloth near it at all times to wipe away the smudgities.

[BrosBeforeGardenTools]

I'm happy using the stand, which displays it and keeps it somewhere. I'll have to wipe dust off the screen every once in awhile but oh well.

It works with the stand and charging cradle according to the videos I saw, they placed it in the cradle and it worked just fine.

Cool, if only the nerf case protected the front too. X(

Well it cant cover every inch of the front. Plus if it drops on the front the analog sticks would take the impact. Only if you drop it on something would it hit the screen.

I guess... but it also does take away from the nice sleekness of the gamepad.
