I got a second tablet two days ago and was setting it up when I made the wrong move and the fucker slid off my stomach, struck the floor and cracked the screen. Unfortunately I no longer have an American Express card so I eat the $68. The rubber protector was due to arrive that night, and did. Two hours too late.
So I went back on Amazon and in my orders I clicked on "Buy It Again," so it shows up today. I'm worried and very careful. I want to put the rubber suit on - the same one that's on the $95 one except it's blue instead of pink. But I need to insert the micro SD card - it inserts in a slot behind a cover plate that cannot be accesses when the rubber suit is on - so I need to get that in. I do, I close the plate on, then get the rubber suit squeezed on.
I try hitting the on/off (power) button, nothing happens. Oh great, it's arrived DOA. Calm down, Paul, unlike most tablets this one was probably shipped with a fully discharged battery. So I bring the Micro USB power cord over and charge it for a few minutes, then give the power button a flick. The battery is so low that the initial power display literally reads 0%. So I let it charge for an hour. And when I try flicking the button, it actually boots, showing the Mediatec logo. It's at 12% and charging. But I have to stop because lunch is here. So I put the tablet back on my box.
Wouldn't you know it, this goddam brand-new tablet fell off the box and slid to the floor! But, I lucked out, I had put the rubber suit on. I pull it up by the power cord - it's actually in tight enough i can pull up the tablet by the cord - and guess what, nothing happened. Clicked on the power button and it comes right out of sleep mode. This makes me feel good that I have another suit on the $95 one. And it only costs $12.95. It's definitely worth it.
