Thanks for this info - have reserved the stuff at BestBuy.

Unfortunately my experience this morning with CPW has been that stores don't bother to answer their phones - ho well. I'll keep trying

Damn! Got a call from bestbuy this morning to say stuff was OOS and I've tried every Comet/Dixons/PCW&CPW in a 10 mile radius (& had them phoning all their other local stores too) and cases etc seem to be OOS everywhere

Looks like ebay it'll have to be!

Got the case from PCW in Bexhill this morning along with the Touchstone. Best Buy called to say they didn't have the keyboards that they were listing online. Got the last one reserved at PCW in Tunbridge Wells.
Just waiting for the Touchpad to be delivered Monday.
There is a case for the ipad on Ebay that also has a bluetooth keyboard in it. Around £20.

Are they exactly the same size as an iPad then? I went for a third party case from Amazon after a fruitless search for the official HP case at a reasonable price... I also read a couple of bad reviews about the official one regarding the naff velcro strip that "secures" it in the various viewing positions.

This is the one I got - ordered yesterday lunchtime and arrived today!

I've got an official HP case, can't see any issues with the Velcro tab. As for using iPad covers, they're the same size should be fine as long as they are for the iPad 1, the 2 is much thinner and so the covers will be too tight for the TP, the only issue I can see would have to do with cut-outs for cables and speakers and the other bits which may not be in the right place.

My friend said it fits perfectly to her HP touch pad. Haven't received mine yet.

If anyone else is still looking for accessories like me then it might be an idea to pop to your local argos.

I went in yesterday as case/touchstone etc says sold out online and asked if they knew whether they would be getting any more in.

They had a look and told me they would get a delivery of cases Thursday and that they could even reserve one from that delivery for me. Unfortunately it turned out that they had all already been reserved by others so I didn't get it :mad: but others might be luckier at their stores

I did however manage to reserve a touchstone while I was there at another local store though although she said it would be £69.99 but I've printed the argos webpage which says £34.99 until 20/01/2012 so will argue if it comes up full price on the tills

just had a look on the touchpad site - not a case in site when I did a search for 'touchpad'. I figured there'd be many more accessories produced than touchpads. Hopefully some opportunistic entrepreneurs will fill the gap in the market!
