Dell Venue 8 Folio (2 options)

[gsulliva]

Dell has two folios for sale for the 8" model (one being windows). What is different in the folios other than price? I would think the cheap one would be fine unless it blocks the buttons.

Dell Tablet Folio - Dell Venue 8 $29.99
Manufacturer Part# 480Y3
Dell Part# 460-BBHQ

Dell Tablet Folio - Venue 8 Pro $39.99
Manufacturer Part# Y4JFW
Dell Part# 460-BBHK

Any one looked into this?

Thanks

I would go for the windows one, the other may not be compatible.

The "Venue 8" is an Android tablet and the "Venue 8 Pro" is a Windows 8.1 tablet. They aren't the same dimensions so it likely wouldn't fit at all (the Venue 8 Pro is 1/4" longer than the Venue 8 and a bit thinner) and yes it would block the buttons, charging port, etc.

If you don't have the tablet yet, you can purchase it from Costco with the folio bundle for 299. They are selling the 64gb one in the warehouse.

The last I saw, the price at the warehouse near me had gone back to $329 on 03 December. The package was marked down as a Black Friday weekend deal.

That's bad, I was at a store in DC on Friday and saw the deal.
