    Got a really good cover/stand inArgos for 30 yoyos. It's a Targus. Would recommend.

    Got mine this morning, brown, sealed and 16gb card inside. Love it so far.

    Going to give my hd memopad to my niece and not look at anymore BA alerts for tablets for at least a year.

    Mine arrived also, white with no sd card. Seal was broken but unit was unused and had the plastic protective cover in place. Setting it up now - came with an extra 50gb dropbox for 2 years, which is nice.

    Thank OP.

    Parcel Motel delivered mine at about 8:30 last night, I collected it a few hours ago.

    I ordered the brown one and the box was sealed, and had a 16 GB micro sd with it. Had a fair amount of trouble getting it in though, but apart from that, tablet seems fine.

    Thanks again OP! :D

    From reading on hukd it seems the box opening thing is cos all boxes show the white version and retailers have to open to see if it's brown or white

    That's a bit strange, my box had a picture of the brown one, and also had the colour printed on it.

    Got an ASDA dispatch mail today ... :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 216 ✭✭CinSoots


    If you're looking for a child proof cover for the 8", I got this - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00EMMGAWY/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&psc=1&s=electronics - and it's very good

    The brown one is back in stock again

    Thanks a million for alerting us, I thought I missed out! Have just placed an order for one now, fingers crossed it won't be cancelled!

    Once again, thanks... You're a star!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,110 ✭✭✭takamichinoku


    is this a good deal better than the Nook HD+ then?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 793 ✭✭✭Berberis


    Got a dispatch email yesterday for the brown Tablet I ordered Thursday evening. The white one that came on Thursday I sold on to my daughter, who is well pleased with it. Hopefully my one comes as quick as the white one.
    For anyone yet to buy a case/cover for their tablet, I ordered two of these from Amazon and arranged delivery through parcel motel. Ordinary delivery was going to cost over £19:eek:

    Seems like john lewis are now price matching asda and giving a 50 pounds voucher to spend with them


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,991 ✭✭✭wawaman


    Stupid question but is the 8 inch able to fit in your pocket!?


  • Registered Users Posts: 122 ✭✭cs5


    Depends how big your pocket is. Certainly doesn't fit my jacket pocket. 8" is quite large don't you know? ;)

    Price matching them at 199 quid aye...but u get 70quid off the price with asda. So it's a better deal with them really.

    John lewis never lowers the price to match the competitors

    Its up to you to do the research, contact them and ask them to price match

    For some people it worked


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,238 ✭✭✭Ardennes1944


    Just got mine, before i turn it on, did ye charge it fully first before use or run down whatever battery it has on it like a phone? manual says if its first time starting it then charge it i think??

    Order one last Friday, it arrived in local Parcel Motel yesterday and collected it this morning. 16gb card included and in white as requested. Very pleased. Many thanks OP.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,880 ✭✭✭RayCon


    Mine came with an extra 16gb card too ... excellent tablet - X 1000 better than the 7"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 987 ✭✭✭Kenny Powers


    How does this compare to the LG G PAD 50£ More?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 793 ✭✭✭Berberis


    Collected the brown one, which I ordered last week from parcel motel today. seals on both ends of box were opened and there was a memory card enclosed in box.
    The first one that I got was white and the seals were intact on that one and no card enclosed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 264 ✭✭pajoemccracken


    Just collected my SAMSUNG TAB 3 8 INCH from parcel motel.
    First impressions are very good. Beautiful design and 8 inch is perfect screen size.
    Not as good as Ipad mini retina (son has one) and not as sharp as Nexus 2013(my one) but for an 8 inch tablet at 155euro its a bargain. Also bought 32Gb Samsung class 10 sd card from amazon so now will have 48Gb of memory.
    Thats 175 euro total compared to 489euro for retina mini 32Gb.
    Delighted. Its a valentines/birthday present for the wife.
    Have to decide on case.
    Have it down to either of these from amazon.
    Forefront
    Samrick or Moko

    Received the Forefront case yesterday. Ordered from Forefront through Amazon.
    The shipping was expensive at £4.90 but case was only £7.99.
    Comes with pen.
    Very good quality case and a perfect fit. Wife is delighted with it.
    Would recommend. I have seen other cases and this is v good value.
    Some recommended rotating cases but my girls have them on their tablets and they make them very bulky.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 429 ✭✭denis160


    Picked mine up from pm yesterday, brown 1, sealed box, thanks op!
    It also had a free memory card!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 987 ✭✭✭Kenny Powers


    Lads,

    Did your name and PM ID show up on the delivery address in the email you were sent?

    My confirmation mail have TO: PMID at the top and down below

    Devilery address is just the Parcel motel address? When I log into Asda they only have the parcel motel address no sign of the PMID anywhere.

    I had PMID in as first name and Full name in as last name.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,644 ✭✭✭✭TheDriver


    I had PM as the address 1 and 1a Kinney....as next line. Arrived fine.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,644 ✭✭✭✭TheDriver


    mine arrived with 16gb microsd, seal was still on the backing sticker in the box yet to be applied......

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 216 ✭✭CinSoots


    You can stream to the TV with either a slimport cable or a miracast wireless device. Both mirror the screen on the tablet.
