Someone posted in the huge @ss thread that they thought the Kindle DX was about the same size as the GTablet.
I went ahead and ordered this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Kindle-DX-Leath...&otn=4&po=LVI&ps=63&clkid=5004332251969071237
I'm happy with it so far, the DX is about half and inch wider, height is okay, so it can slide around a bit. I put some stick on velcro on the case and on the GTab, it isn't going anywhere now. I think I'm going to have to use superglue for the velcro on the case though, it's felt lined so it won't stick on for long. The only thing is the top elastic band is close to the power button, maybe Roebeet's electrical tape solution is in order.
UPDATE: Oh, well my fake pleather case has ding in the edge now. Maybe I need to get some of that liquid leather. ;P Happy with the sizing, just need to find something more durable. Maybe I'll use some of that new fangled electrical tape I hear is the new duct tape.
Electrical tape is the new duct tape:

I need to do something like that, was thinking of a little piece of sticky backed foam, like 1/4 ince or so, think I have some perfect for that around here somewhere.
Hitting that power button is way to easy to do, need to mod the physical keys on the side somehow also, lol.
I found an iPad case on amazon for $14.95 that has good potential. go to amazon and search for "Acase Leather Flip Book Jacket/folio for Apple Ipad 3g Tablet/wifi Model 16gb, 32gb, 64gb (Black)" in Electroincs.

Mike, I'd be careful. I've looked at several ipad cases but the gtab is taller and not as wide as the ipad. Most I've seen dont fit unless it's a universal case.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll keep looking.
Well, I'll let you know how the Acase you listed works... I ordered one last night.
Whoops!

I purchased a Solo Classic iPad/eReader portfolio case from Staples that was around $30.00. The downside is that the power button is covered by one of the soft cloth corner holders, but other than that it has worked fine.

I purchased form fitting leather case for kindle DX from ebay . The G tablet fit amazingly well in it. The only problem is that the upper left strap is blocking the charger plug .
Looks good!! Maybe a hole punch can make your life easier.
I think this one looks promising too: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002QHZ6L8

how tight the elastic band holding the tablet? will it slide out when you carry it around? I am thinking to purchase one right now.

The band was tighter when I first got it (infact it was so tight that it keep randomly turn on my tablet). After a few days it loosen up so the problem resolve itself. I carry it around ,always rushing to class and it feel pretty secure imo.

Yep. Almost all cases for iPad do not work, since the G is wider.
Happy though with my $10 Case logic (like the zip pouch).
Found this one in E-bay. looks more comtempory and cheaper..

5 bux on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-inch-N...ef=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1304140643&sr=8-2-spell
Does it have any extra space for tablet+keyboard docked?
this is strictly for carrying the tablet alone, will not fit when docked to the keyboard.
Nice. What about space for USB cable, charger?
just a basic sleeve type case... the cable may fit with a slight bulge [?]
The sleeve is nice but your TXer background is Awesome.
I too think the background is awesome but have no idea where it is from nor what TXer is. Can you enlighten me?
A quick couple of questions for the OP. On the Belkin product page it gives the dimensions of the case as: 8.5 x 1.2 x 7.1inches. I'm assuming this is wrong as obviously the case is meant for up to 10.2" screen size devices, and the transformer is 10.7x0.5x7.1inches. On the amazon site you linked, it shows the dimensions as 11.25 x 8 X .875 which obviously sounds correct. Can you please post the actual measurements of your case? And was the model number of the case you purchased F8N215-BLK or 80-8215 please? Oh and does it feel well made? Thanks in advance.

amazon is correct, 11x8 sounds about right when i've measured mine...
the model# above the barcode reads F8N215-BLK...
it feels as good as how well it fits the tf101... the faux-leather surrounding the case is a nice touch... belkin makes solid products and this case @ $5, you really can't go wrong if this is the type of case you're looking for...

Thanks for the reply and the info. Yeah there's almost no excuse not to buy one at that price, unfortunately they cost a bit more here. Think i'll still get one though as it's worth it for some protection at least. Cheers.

Surely TXer means Transformer?
I went to Fry's to check out the netbook sleeves. And I noticed the Tempe, AZ Fry's has the Targus Netbook Slipskin Peel 10.2 netbook sleeve for only $6.
I can't find the link on frys.com, but here is the same case on Amazon.com
http://www.amazon.com/Targus-Neoprene-Slipskin-10-2-Inch-TSS11104US/dp/B002RJQT84
Case is the perfect width (in tablet landscape), but has about an extra inch of room in height. The case feels roomy enough it could hold the tablet and keyboard dock. (no pockets to hold cables though)
Seems like a great deal from at $6 from a brick and mortar store. Just don't know if it's a YMMV type of deal though at other stores since I can't find it on the website.
i'm sure the selection varies by stores... i brought my tfmr with me and i tested out all the ones for the netbooks before ultimately deciding on the one i got... they had quite a few selection, not bad for b&m...
Be warned, the inside of this case is very slick against the tablet. This is now I dropped mine Just be careful when opening it, it'll slip very easily.

I bought this one and am returning it. It fits fine, but the metal back of the zipper rubs against the metal trim on the TF when you open/close it.

don't take my word for it, try it out yourself if you wish... i will be very impressed if it fits with the dock in place... yet, even if it did fit, it will be insanely tight, especially length-wise... thus, i wouldn't want to risk the inner zipper scratching the bezel of the pad/keyboard unit...
i already have an 11.6 zeroshock case, so i will use that when i have it docked and this belkin case for small outings around town and such...

Just got my Transformer today and went to Staples to see what sort of cases they had available. Anyway, long story short, I came across this folio/zip up case...
http://www.staples.com/SOLO-Studio-Collection-iPad-eReader-Jacket-Brown-9.7/product_912505
It's listed for the ipad/kindle dx, but it ended up fitting great. There are some downsides to it which I will list below, but all in all it's a great alternative case with the limited selection available.
Pros:
- Very well padded case
- Nice design, very simple
- Holds the transformer in place well
- Soft interior which shouldn't scratch the screen at all
- Zips up for extra protection/reinsurance
- Can charge the Transformer while in the case
Cons:
- Covers up the top volume rocker slightly
- Covers up the power button fully
I got it for $25 in-store, online it's a little bit more. If you could deal with those two cons, it's a fine case.
If you have any questions, just ask.

No problem. I know right now the only options for Asus transformer cases are the overpriced official one or the one's from Hong Kong, so I figure this case is worth it for those looking for something else.
thanks for the info, i'm looking for a portfolio type case and i think ill drop by staples and give this a look.
Thanks for posting this. I am also looking for a Portfolio style case. I like that the two corners on one of the side are static and not elastic. The price point is high though, that is about what I'd expect to pay for something made specifically for the Transformer ideally. I might have to bite though depending on how long I can hold out for my ideal case.

No problem. The fit is great actually, it's just some rockers are slightly covered up. You can still power it on while in the folio, you just can't see the button, but it's not difficult to press down. I don't think the official Asus Sleeve is worth $40 honestly, nor do a lot of people. There is also an Asus folio on ebay for around $18, but it's shipped from Hong Kong.

Just picked one up today thanks to your post. I like it and look forward to using it alot!
What I've been looking for.
Thanks for the infos. Wil head to Staples tomorrow.
just got my tf yesterday...........picked up this case today!
You're welcome. Post up how your opinions on the case when you get it!
wow this case looks luxurious and awesome. can it prop the TF up?
I like the portfolio to protect it as I'm holding it, but is there a portfolio with room for cords/chargers/etc? I thought maybe I'd buy a portfolio for protection while using it AND a bag for travel but that seems redundant....
Some more pics
Got mine today. It's pretty much perfect.
Like OP said, there are two static corners, if you place the corner of the TF with the power button and volume rocker there, you may potentially trigger the power button accidentally though very unlikely. But if you rotate it 180 degrees and place the power button corner on the top right with the two elastic bands (I just use one band and leave the other one down), then the way the band wrap around even if it goes over the power or volume button, it doesn't wrap around tight enough to trigger it.
I read lots of PDFs with the TF in portrait mode sitting on the Arkon stand, so I need a case that I can take the TF in and out of easily. This Solo case is secure but also at the same time easy to take out.
When you use it in the case, no screen real estate is covered.
It's very well build, both covers are well padded with very hard "card board- like" (for the sake of lack of a better word), ok how about titanium plate-like material, so you can confidently place the TF in your bag with other hard, sharp objects around.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Nah. You can rig it to stay propped up with the right angle, but it's not meant for it and probably won't stay in that position for long.
Quick Review...yes its copied from the other thread that I posted in. But I figure plagiarizing my own stuff is ok. Plus, there are pictures now!
Material: Definitely not real leather. Is PU Leather but doesn't feel "cheap" in the hand either! Inside of the case is a velvety "soft" material...I guess a cloth version of suede is the best way to describe it. (Definitely not Alcantara like the stuff I have in the bucket seats of my car.)
Workmanship: Can't complain here either surprisingly! I was expecting it to be well, just ok....but the stitching is straight and even, uniform distance from the edges (yeah I'm sure there are tenths of mm variations but...nothing distracting.) Holes for camera, proximity sensors, buttons, etc. are PERFECTLY aligned when the TF is properly inserted.
Closure: Magnetic...decent snap to it. There's magnets on BOTH ends of the case so it is quite secure.
Holding Mechanism: One of the weaknesses of this case. It has a flap that is on the landscape edge facing into the spine of folio case. Should have put a magnet or two in there to keep the flap more securely closed. Or Velcro. I think I'm going to add some velcro there myself. On the other hand, I think it is far better to have the flap on this side than along one of the portrait edges of the Tablet.
Stand angles: 2 actually, one inverted "low position" suitable for typing. One high angle for casual viewing I guess.
Conclusion: 1 thumb up--not two--because of the ridiculous pricing on these cases, $28 including shipping. Seriously, these things can't cost more than $5 in China where they are made.

Looks like there's a cutout in the tuck in flap but no cutout on the main cover. My guess is you can charge the transformer while in the case but that the cover has to be open.
Where did you get it? Was this one of the generic eBay ones?
I just got this case today (took about two weeks to arrive), and I'm thoroughly satisfied. It has holds for everything, even the Micro SD slot. Most importantly, the Transformer feels protected.
I just received mine today. I bought the brown version. It fits OK but overall the case is not of the highest of quality for instance there is a finger size mark on the front of the case. Can't help thinking in a couple of weeks the transformer will be slipping inside of the casehousing.
The listing on eBay said leather and I am going to complain and request a partial refund because it is definately not leather being some kind of ruberised finish and a joke of an attempt to show leather grain. I feel like I have been mislead....

Why are there so many people trolling the "FolioGuard" case in everyone else's threads? WTF? People KNOW there's the FolioGuard case. The point is THIS ISN'T THE FOLIOGUARD CASE AND IS A REVIEW OF A DIFFERENT CASE.
SoCalTiger, I got this one from eBay. Here is the link:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123#ht_5978wt_1018
I'm beginning to wonder whether this one IS genuine leather and NOT PU leather at all. I've "aired" it a good number of days and it STILL smells/feels like leather. The patterned marks don't seem to be pressed/printed into the case at all. There's a few other tests I can "run" to see if its real leather or not (including the "match" test, but I don't really want to ruin the case either).
Thanks!

Can you send/post the link for the one you ordered that you are not happy with? There DEFINITELY was NO option for "another color material" for this case. Just the variation in stitching color.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Asus-Eee-Pad-...I&otn=3&po=LVI&ps=63&clkid=419235527009776241
3 different colours. Think I saw your link to the seller originally or you posted on the same thread I was reading. They were selling different colours under another listing. Anyway from the pictures you posted it is identical to mine... I think the ebay listing is misleading regarding the material.
Are you sure it isn't leather? I haven't tried the melt vs. scorch test on it yet so I'm not 100% sure. It feels like a really thin layer of leather over a harder backing...

Okay, that's it. I'm going to report every single one of your posts to have them deleted. All you are doing it trolling with your links to the FolioGuard.
100% certain its not leather. Got a reply from the the seller saying it is pv leather (I understand this to be a man made material and will never have been anywhere near a cow) which is fine but they should state this al the way through the listing. I have asked them to amend the listing and requested a part refund. If not I will report them to eBay and see what think
I am sure most people would be happy with the case and i agree with your review it does a reasonable job of proteting the Asus. The stitching is good but there is a small defect on the front of my case which
i like this case, might have to get one
well I am happy with the case seeing as i have just received a full refund. I do not need to return it either. So feels like a bargain now! Just shows you it is worth complaining. I hope they amend the listing to make it clear this is not leather for other people.

My case arrived this weekend, but I guess I don't need to do a review either.
It's definitely a decent case for an alright price. Build seems good and does the job perfectly.
No complaints really.
Anybody know if this is the same case? http://electroniccrap.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=34_36&products_id=51
Found the Tagus Truss case for the Acer Iconia fits perfectly. Very nice leather and is able to prop it up on a table.

Hey thanks for the info.I was also wondering if anyone has tried a Motorola zoom case.It looks kinda close,but wasn't if would work or not.
The xoom is about 2 inches smaller so the cases dont work. I tried to put mine in a friends xoom case
How well does it stay in the notches when in an upright position and being used? I find my CLIP from ElectronicCrap doesn't hold the bottom of the gtablet well enough when it's in an upright position and the screen is being tapped. It drops out of the notch and falls to the bottom position. :-(
Its a very tight/ snug fit. The bottom of the gtab fits onto a pocket that is as wide as the unit. I have no fear of it coming out of this case.

Actually I meant does the tablet stay upright while set in one of the notches, not whether the tablet itself would fall out of the case when in this position. Based on the design I would assume so which is better then the CLIP case does. Just wanted to confirm. Thanks.

Found the Tagus Truss case for the Acer Iconia fits perfectly. Very nice leather and is able to prop it up on a table.

It would be nice if you demonstrate with a pic or 2
Thanks,
Got one!
I went to Best Buy and grabbed one. Price there was $39.99, but the G Tablet fits very nicely. I took some pictures (sorry for the low light).
The Gtab slides in there very snug and secure. The top left strap just falls in between the volume rocker. It's not too bad, you can still adjust vol up & down very easily. And that same strap falls in between the power button and the USB cover. You can stil access it just fine.
I love how the case feels. You can fold back the cover all the way back and just use the tablet straight on, or you can open it and place it in one of the 3 little slots to adjust viewing angle.
I like it, it's very comfortable to sit in bed in and use. The multiple angles allows you to have it on your lap very comfortably.

What about the charging port and the headphone jack? Are they accessible as well? I got the toshiba thrive case and i'm having to take it back since the ports were not accessible. I am thinking about picking this up instead, but I don't want to have to take the tab out of the case to charge it...
Thanks!

Charging port and headphone jack are not blocked. I am attaching a pic of the side so you can see.

If you are going to pay that much, why not consider the clip case then, its officially made for the GTab and even allow docking while the tab is inside it.

agree with above..... I purchased one tonight, great fit. Plus if I did not like it, not a huge hassle to return to the local BB. Thanks to the OG poster!

This one allows docking just fine. The bottom of the case has the area where the docking port cut out already. Lines up perfectly
I dont like the other case, I like how this one feels

Thanks for the reply.
I can't figure out how can you slide the tab in the dock with the case on. I mean its a "just fit" with only the tablet and dock, so when I tried with my own case the couple of mm's added thickness just made it impossible to dock the tablet.
Can you kindly post a pic with the tab docked while in the case ?
Canadian distributor for clip and targus cases discussed in this thread.
Does anyone know of a shop in Canada that sells either gTab CLIP case, or the Targus truss case for the Iconia?
I'm unable to find these products at staples.ca, futureshop.ca, or thesource.ca, and I don't want to pay a bunch of duty/brokerage/shipping fees getting it here.
Thank you,
Dave

You can have a try:

CLIP for Acer Iconia A500:http://www.aliexpress.com/product-f...-multi-angle-for-iconia-wifi-wholesalers.html Good Luck
like it
I got the targus case too and I am liking it. Yaa it is a little bulky, but it feels well made and fits the gtab gr8! I love the three angles I can prop it. It also has some serious cushioning, making me less nervous about damaging my tab.
Got it from BB for $35 after a 10% off coupon for labor day.
Picked up rooCASE leather folio from Amazon, and it fits pretty well with the exception of the opening for the power button.
I got a handy candy case for the ipad. Great for carrying, I wouldn't mind dropping it a few times in this case. It also has velcro grips that can be adusted for propping the gtab up. Not great but definitely not bad.

It comes in a few other colours but I think green is best
I have only found it on my local UK eBay so I'm not sure if anyone else can get it. Amazon seem to sell it also.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/150700855321
I have seen it on other sites as well its made by MOFI I think, its often sold for the Kindle Fire as well.
I promise this is not my eBay auction, I just found it and wanted to share the case.
Have ordered even before I get a Nook Tablet in Jan.
Hi, seems like a nice one....how much did you pay for it?
Cheers,
Giz
In the end I found it on Amazon.co.uk for £9.95 by searching Mofi Tablet Bag.
Should be much quicker then arriving direct from China.

Thanks for the tip,
Have you checked this one?
It's called Tasume and enables you to lay your NT on you desk on both V and H positions....
Rather expensive though and couldn't find it anywhere outside the B&N website...

I was going to get that, but when I saw that the buttons were covered, that was my stopping point. I don't see why they couldn't put provisions in for the buttons. Plus, the price was a bit much.
Hi again. Yup...the buttons are indeed covered, but have you noticed the +/- signs for the volume? I guess on the other side there must be a "O" for the power sign.
The question stands though, could we click on the buttons easily through the plastic cover?
Giz
I have the Tasume. The button's aren't as easy to hit as when out of the case, but it isn't bad. The power buttion isn't covered by the case as it's on the side you slide it into the case. The stand up in any direction feature is really slick imho, and the reason I bought it.
There is no hole for the mic. I didn't care as a I have yet to use it and I figure some scissors or a lighter and a needle can fix that easily enough.
The major problem I have with it is that it is smooth and therefore a little slippery. A slippery case half defeats the purpose of a case. It does have a little bump on the back from the flap the holds the device in and I've almost trained myself to automatically hold it by the bump, so that's not as big a deal as it was when I got it, but still hardly ideal.

Hey! found it on Amazon.co.uk! Hum, but there are two of them (one costs 9.95 and the other goes for 11.95)....Does anyone know the diff between the two?

I'll let Santa know that have been a good boy this year...
Thanks,

I ordered the cheaper Samsung one.
I could not work out a reason for the price difference, unless the seller has missed some of them when raising / dropping the price.
Or perhaps they think some will be more popular then others?
Mine has been shipped now, but with Christmas post might take a few days before it arrives here.
Case arrived yesterday. I'm happy with it.
Just need a Nook now.
Eheh, I find myself in the exact opposite situation....got a nook, rooted, customized, etc....and still waiting for the case...

hi,can you post pics with your device and can you explain that how to protect your device?
Nice find, thanks! Just ordered one
very nice find, ordered myself one as well
I'm planning on ordering one as well. It'll go nicely with the skin i have on it. The skin protects from minor cuts and scrapes when I'm using it and the sleeve will protect in between usages. Good plan overall

I have this case. I had looked for a case that would also hold the tablet in portrait and landscape, but at the time, there was not much to choose from.
My main interest would be for landscape to watch movies. In portrait, I am usually reading or using a browser so holding it is fine.
I found that if I move the elastic strap into a position it really should not go, the case works perfectly and supports landscape at almost any angle.
Not sure how long the elastic will hold out, but after 2 months it seems to holding up fine so far.

Does anyone know where I can purchase one of these in the US? The Andy sleeve that is.
