Same person? lol

i just popped mine in straight out of the package. Sandisk 32gb Class10. Odd it wouldnt work on yours. Try putting it into your G Pad, then connect your G Pad to your PC and see if it reads the SD card

Lol....same user.
Can you see if your card is formated on ntsf?
Because a user from other forum tell me that don't get sdcard formated in ntsf!

Looking for a tab for my daughter, she's 13

She's a Samsung fan and wanted the 8 inch but tonight she seen the LG 8.3 and really liked it. You can currently buy them on ebay for 259$ and i was wondering if its worth it? When compared with the Nexus 7 and Galaxy 3 8"

Thanks

I love it. Yes, its a better device than the Nexus 7 and completely lays waste to the Galaxy 3. It just totally outclasses the Galaxy. The fact that its $10 less than the Nexus 7 32GB is just great.

I had the Samsung Tab 3 8.0, and upgraded to the G Pad. The G Pad blows the tab out of the water, its a much better tablet and well worth the money

Thanks to the guy above I pulled the trigger. The $259.99 on eBay is the Newegg store and they are new. Great deal plus free Shipping! Couldn't pass out up. Will be in my hands by Thursday

Thanks for the input everyone. Took another look at it today and ordered it. Really seems like a quality device.

Here's another good look at the device

I too, pulled the trigger on the $249 cyber Monday newegg deal along with using the $10 credit for using Bill Me Later. Only problem is it was delivered yesterday and I'm out of town until Sunday night. Grrr! Guess I'll enjoy my Nexus 7 one last weekend.

I hope you enjoy your 8.3 as much as I do mine. Now that I've gotten to know it so well I just wish there were some ROMs for it but its a very nice unit and I've not had any problems with it at all. I hope your experience with it is as good as mine.

 

[mrstarzan]

I have the G2 so I'm really looking forward to it. I'm still stock on the G2. I may not need anything more than root on both. Love reading everyone's take on the different ROMs though.

In gonna go out on a limb and say you'll really like it. I bought it for my 13yr old for Christmas. Just had the chance to give it a whirl (daughter went to the movies) and it's really nice. Honestly it has me looking once again at the lgg2

My G2 and G Pad are right here awaiting my demands. I've tried the Q Pair thing and it works exactly as advertised but I just don't have much use for the functionality I guess.

Also ended up going with the black over the white. Looked a bit nicer to me. Question, anyone found a good case or case with keyboard built in?

I received my G-Pad from Newegg on Wednesday and my accessories from Amazon on Tuesday. It is a very nice tablet. I also got the black one, as I have a white Note 2.

I found this keyboard case on Amazon, but just couldn't get it without seeing it in-person, as I think it will be quite bulky...
http://www.amazon.com/IVSO-KeyBook-...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU3303227

The case I did get is this Moko case...
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU3303227

I really like the case. It fits well, and the magnetic cover turns the screen on/off when open/close. It doesn't lock the screen tho, just turns it off. Meaning that, if I were to close the cover now, and open it hours later, this same message would come on. I'm not sure yet if that's a feature or defect. It would depend on your individual usage. But if I turn the screen off before closing the cover, it comes on at the lock screen. I did find a setting to turn on/off that cover wake feature under settings, then accessory.

The other accessories I got for my G-Pad from Amazon were...

64 Gb Sony MicroSD card ($37.95)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU3303227

X-Shields 5-pk screen protectors (Defective upon arrival, email seller, replacements on the way)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU3303227

Fine point stylus (haven't received yet)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU3303227


Did you notice a " sample" contact in your G-Pad's contact list, with picture, of some gruff-looking guy? I thought that seemed quite odd, and suspected someone in the Newegg shipping department, except the G-Pad's box was sealed.

Good luck with your case search. I see more cases coming available on Amazon daily.

Hi.
New to the forum. I'm waiting my G Pad to be delivered in 2 days.
Has anyone seen or bought the Quickpad case that LG sells for the G Pad 8.3?

I think that case has gone the way of the Unicorn.

I got, and love, the MoKo case referenced above.

Amazon.com: MoKo Slim Folding Case for LG G Pad 8.3 inch Android Tablet, BLACK (With Smart Cover Auto Wake / Sleep): Computers & Accessories

I love my LG G pad as well. I have a nexus 7 at work, and an ipad mini that work supplies. Neither of them hold a candle to the G pad ( at least for me ).

Also got 64GB Toshiba Class 10 card from Newegg and it is working fine so far - none of the issues as reported above.
