Anybody looking to dress up their transformer?
Protective Decal Skins for Transformer tablet
Have you tried them, any feedback? I bet they look cool once installed and quite a conversation starters in public?
These look pretty nice, but I'm hoping Phantom Skinz makes some for the transformer, so I can match it with the white carbon fiber chromatics skin on my white Evo.

I actually bought those 3 dollar transformer decal sticker from ebay to cover both the tablet n the dock
Bit cheesy but what the heck
I have never used skins on any of my electronics but some of these look pretty cool. Any thoughts on whether covering up the back of the Transformer would cause heat buildup issues?
Also isn't the transformer textured? Does it stick to it or look funny bumpy once it is on. My transformer should be coming in a few days.

Well I like the material and footprint of the Ipad's smart cover. I have seen one case that was a similar material, but had terrible reviews and I think fit into the dock holes. I want a simple cover that can stay on when I'm using the dock, and doesn't have random grips all over the place.

What is the thinnest folding case available
I am looking for a case for the 300 that is as thin as possible. I really only care about scratch protection, I don't expect it to protect from drops (not that most case will provide that protection anyways). I do need it to have a stand function to watch movies. Since this is already thicker than prime I want to minimize that as much as possible.
Even the cheapie vinyl thin case that came bundled with the Acer a500 at costco would be fine. It was very thin.
The case I have for my ipad2 is tapered at the edges to keep the profile as thin as possible instead of being just squared off at the side edges. In other words, it should wrap around the side edges like a glove.
i just ordered the MOKO slim fit case from amazon. I hope this caters to your needs. it's slim and tough enough to even withstand drops.

decent but not quite what I am looking for. The case you are talking about clips or hooks onto the tablet in about4 to 6 areas (4 corners plus maybe 2 additional top and bottom). It leaves alot of the edge exposed. On th eplus side it is usually a hard back case so decent protetion.
However, what I had in mind is a case that slips all around the edges of the tablet. Most cases are designed like this but except what I have in mind would be slimmer with the edges tapered to match the edge of the tablet but still wrapping the entire tablet (except at the ports). Hard to tell, but I think this case fits that description but it is for tf101 only:

Honestly? I am still waiting for something the like the shell+smartcover that my mom's Ipad has. That really is brilliant stuf.
For now I found this to be the thinnest sleeve/cover/whatever
Urbanflip series on HandiHeldItems
I have one and had to adjust the hole for the headphone jack.
But it works pretty good, is a lot thinner that some other case I bought and has a cut out for the charger.
But an Ipad-like smartcover .. to me that's the bomb

Wow, that's almost exactly what I'm looking for - just with the ability to use it with the dock! They have this one on their site that does just that:
HHI Keyboard Case with Slim Portfolio Stand Cover for Asus Transformer Pad TF300
I have a carbon fiber leather case for my Galaxy Tab 10.1 and won't buy another case unless it's the same material, it looks so slick and resists scratches and hides dirt like no other case. Since getting it, I've taken out the tablet probably 3 times!
Good find!

These are nice! To bad the carbon fiber one won't be out until June 18!
From my long awaited and totally worth it EVO LTE!
All 3 of these are pretty much the same and is the thinnest case out in the market:

I also found a similar case on Ebay but it looks slitghtly cheap. I wish it wasn't microsuede:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ASUS-Transf...?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item3cc88b0bbc
This case is also very thin but I can't find it anywhere outside of the wholesale site:
http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/595097536/SiKai_Ultra_slim_Leather_Case_for.html
On Transformerforums i found a post from a certain Bobjgear where he announces a rugged silicon case for our beloved TF300.
It will be for sale on all Amazons around mid-june.
I think this will be my case.
While the Gumdrop and all those leather cases will make the tablet too bulky and all others like Armor Shield protect nothing but just some scratches.
Good thing is that it will be for sale on all Amazons so P&P will not be too ridiculous. I am refreshing Amazon everyday now.
Link doesn't work bro.
Nevermind, its working. I like those cases, I'm tired of waiting for gumdrop. They should have had the tf300 case in production a long time ago.

Nice. I like my moko case but might they this. I prefer these over portfolio styles.

case
Using this for about 2 weeks. Great case. Only negative is the case weighs roughly twice as much as tab. Foam probably better like m edge for ipad supershell. Light case.
I want one of these

You can now also buy silicone skin on eBay. It is much cheaper and works great with TF300. Must have for every Asus owner!
http://www.ebay.com/itm/251137668359
That's a nice one too! But not comparable to BobJ's case.
Pro of this one is that it will keep your tab less bulky and lighter then BobJ's case.
Con is that it will not give you that much protection like BobJ's case, which is much more bulkier but then again much more drop proof for idiots like me.
Just got mine in today. I feel so much safer already. This is a very nice case, thanks Bobj!!!

Just to update an older thread. I just got one of these silicone rubber skins off Ebay. It's very nice and will do the job. It's no Gum-Drop or BobJ but it's a lot less bulky too.

Have One, Love It
I've had the roocase for 6 months now, and I have to tell you I love it. If you're primary concern is protection, is is superb. The inner sleeve (that the tablet actually fits into) makes it super easy to hold on to. Put it in the main case, prop it up for easy hands free reading or watching a movie.
Just thought I'd share my opinion. These cases used to be really expensive. I'm at work, and they have Amazon blocked so I can't see if it's exactly the same case, but mine is leather. Has zippered outer case, and sleeve that fits inside.

no.
Glad I didn't buy it back when I bought the tablet now. Can't beat that price!
Has anybody tried this as opposed to other protection screens?

For $40.00 it seems pretty reasonable, just looking for feedback.

these look awesome! might buy one, but im still thinking because i dont know if maybe its too thick for the tab to fit in the dock. i dont want it to go in really tight since ive read about accidents involving a tight dock
Thats the same issue im facing. But It seems thin enough to not cause any of those problems. I just wish someone had some first hand experience. I may just get one that covers the dock :

These skins seems to look fab. Seems to be better than the skinomi skins

I know you were asking about these specifically but I jsut got my Skinomi Brushed Steel skin in today. It looks great. Skinomi makes specific cut outs for the keyboard dock when you buy either the combo or the compatible versions. I don't know if Phantom Skins does this either but also to note with Skinomi ones is that they also have a slight texture which is nice for grip.
That said, the pink PhantomSkinz are pretty awesome, kind of wish I knew about those before I got this one... but at the same time they cost twice as much, so I'm still happy

Now just curious... Since that is steel has it affected your GPS or wifi connectivity? Just thinking about how the prime has issues and such due its aluminum casing...
as spritely said, skinomi makes skins that are compatible with the keyboard. ordering the dark wood one myself, will post a pic eventually
If I'll buy a back cover from PhantomSkinz, i'll recive a screen protector too (like Skinomi.com) ?
