The official tablet (and other useless electronics) thread!

[WRXtranceformed]

I figured we would branch this off from the laptop thread

Just got the Roocase leather folio case cover from Amazon in the mail. There really werent any good cases for the TF101 until this one that Derecola found. The quality is very good, the leather seems to be pretty decent and the Velcro system to keep the tab at an angle seems to work really well so far. This accessory pretty much made the tab perfect for couch / bed browsing, which is exactly what I bought it for. The only flaw I can see so far is that the front camera gets covered a little by the case when its set up at an angle, but I hardly ever use the cameras so I'll just have to remember to lay it flat when I need to use it.

Overall a good purchase and it seems to protect the tab well for whatever I paid for it, like $26.

Does the flap fold back around the back of the case or does it lie open when flat?

I posted on your wall about Gun Bros. Shit really ramped up once you can start using the other Refineries and completing Challenges. There are also a shit on of bonuses if your Facebook friends are playing too. Not sure if you've linked it yet, but I haven't seen any of these bonuses.

Words with Friends is now available for Honeycomb. I am currently rocking RJ some and Maeng a whole lot more.

I've been watching prices on the keyboard. Some places are down to $120; I'm definitely getting it once it goes <$100.

The flap folds around the back so technically it doesnt sit completely flat.

Have not linked Gun Bros to fb yet, will try to get that figured out this week

[Apoc]

Fb a pic of it open if you get a chance.

I'll probably pick it up as soon as I can find it somewhere that doesn't charge shipping. (I'm so cheap.)

[WRXtranceformed]

Haha we need to get your bro some armor! he dies so fast! a lot better than the standard guy though.

I like the addition of critical hits, my guy crits now like crazy which really helps against the armored mobs.

Subscribed so I get phone updates....but I was thinking of starting a thread like this becasue I am considereing a tablet for my dickin around and also to keep pelican and other such write ups with me when I head out to the garage, I am currently using a notbook style approach and printouts to keep all my torque specs with me. There are so many choices though and such a wide price range, I don't even know where to begin so I am looking forward to some reviews about the tablets everyone uses.

Post pics of your tablet case here too Lee. I need to pick one up for both tabs.

A good game that just came out for Android is Spirit HD. It's kind of like Geometry Wars on Xbox Live but you drag your finger around instead of using a d-pad. It's got a bumping soundtrack too (at least for one of the game modes).

Nice I'll have to check that out G. Check out "Pew Pew" and "Pew Pew 2" too if you like games like that.

I'll be in Atlanta through Thursday but I'll try to get some real life pics up by the end of the week. Here is a stock photo of the one I'm talking about. The only other flaw (and this is really nit picking) I could find is that I feel like the magnet that holds the front flap shut when you close up the case could be a littleeee bit stronger. I mean it holds it together just fine it could just be a little stickier.

I am currently rocking Maeng

He's pretty worthless unless he gets all the Rs.

My dude has Renegade (I think - plus 5% for Atk/Def) everything. I think the problem is the computer is just too stupid to dodge anything.

I've got like 10k in xplodium cooking in the 72 hour 200% refinery. When it's done (today?) there's a gun that's ~31,000 that I'm gonna pick up.

[Mike]

i'm level 40. started playing last week. chris, sounds like you're 35ish. shame we can't play together. or maybe we can? i think the ios shit is just through gamecenter.

[Apoc]

I don't think I'm that high. It took me like 5 days to get through the last 10 waves of Rev 1 on the first planet cause I wasted money on the lower end crap guns. I'm through the first 40 on Rev 2 of the second planet and just started to rack up XP. I would be surprised if I was over 30.

[WRXtranceformed]

Add me as a Bro Mike.

[Mike]

I don't see where to add you guys. I can only invite people who don't already play.

[Apoc]

The Android version is through Facebook - you sign in to Fb through the game. It looks like the iOS version is Game Center. A bit of research suggests you can't link across platform. ::apple sucks comment::

Lee, evidently we can play coop... if we manage to get a time where we're both playing and aren't doin' werk in CoD.

[Mike]

i also login via FB. hrug:

not being cross-platform isn't surprising.

[WRXtranceformed]

I'm down it would help having another human player in some of the higher waves...especially on zombies.

official threads are lame

Lee, I sent you a recruit invite. Really not sure what that does :-D
