I am looking for a good case for this tablet. I bought a few accessories in this website below but can’t find a good case. Any recommendation?

Just wondering if maybe ZTE made some changes for a U.S.-specific version. Thx!

Hardware seems to be great, BUT: the charging port is NOT USB based. So if you want to use the device as a navigation unit in your car, so need a 12V/220V converter to connect the power supply. No way to connect to a USB based spare battery while you are around. If they would change the round charging port into a USB based port, it would be a compelling device, but as it is it is nearly unusable, especially as the battery life is not great.
