This one looks ok:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Foldable-Stand-...Accessories&hash=item4aaaed0f5b#ht_6111wt_937
What do you think? I might order it
Looks terrible. The display tablet isn't even a Transformer.
wow, looks the one I've been waiting for, leather and functional, usable while still in the case, not expensive too.
I wonder how tightly it holds the tablet...don't think I'd trust this thing if its the kind of elastic I'm thinking it is.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
those of us that came from the gtab went through these corner elastic cases. the elastic loosens withing a few weeks and you are left with a loose fitting tablet. Many times the elastic covers or presses buttons in the locations it is covering.
most people cut the elastic off and velcroed their tablets into the cases.
Horrable. Do not buy that junk
What about this one that uses clips? Do you think the clips will hold the transformer securely? and would it scratch it?
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220782110011
i got the one with the elastic bands as it seemed a safer bet than the clip version. Its a great fit and really snug with the TF in it thumbs up!
P.S: i took a risk and ordered it when it was still named as for the Gtablet. The dimensions were compatible though. And so it is. Phew

Do you have link? Because that is my problem, don't want to wait 2 weeks
The quality of this case in person is even worse than it looks in the picture. Wait for a Gel Case.

I got one of these, it's ok not great, for £7 delivered it's about right.
The back of the case(not the TF case!) warps slightly due to the pressure from the 4 corner holders.
The top left corner strap sometimes pushes the volume up button as it covers it, you can still use the volume up button though. I have slipped off the top left corner one due to this and it still seems to hold ok.
No way of using the stand in low profile mode (shallow angle so the tablet is near flat to desk)

There is a Sikai case for the transformer that looks alot like the Asus branded case which is very thin (like original apple ipad case.) However this one folds in a few different ways that appear alot more like the new smart cover for the ipad2.
It is selling for 24$ with free shipping on ebay. Just ordered one can't wait to get it
any links or pictures?

Funny , coz there is original asus case with asus logo on the last photo ))
I'm not getting how the upright angle works. The folded portion looks like it sits so low; seems like it would tip back over pretty easy.

Hi, I have my sikai case since monday.
I only can speak good things about this, I recomend it.
Perfect fitting, nice material, only the hole for the camera isn't perfectly centered but it dosen't afect to the optics.
and of course with the case fitted it won't be able to dock at the keyboard.
Looks pretty nice actually. Definatley interested to see your review on this one, I might snag one if its decent quality.

Can you post some pictures or a review of this case please?
Tnx
I just got it today. It got a little bent in the process of getting to my home in the mail.
I'd say a nice decent case. Due to the bending, it seems a bit odd to look. But fit is perfect and snug. All functions and keys are accessible. Camera holes are visible with no blocking.
Charging Port
Are you able to charge the TF while using the Sikai as a stand?
I ordered this case last week and so far I am really loving it. First things first, I really like the build quality. The case gives you alot of options with different viewing angles which is nice. It has leather on the outside and felt on the inside. All ports are accessible and you can even plug into the keyboard dock without having to remove from the case (huge bonus for me). I don't have anything to compare to but it seems very slim. I have never been a case guy for my phones but with a tablet I don't think it matters as much. Overall I am very glad I bought it. For the price, $25, the quality is second to none. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. Link to sale site below.

Edit: i do want to add that I just noticed the speakers look like they might be covered in the pix but when you take off the bumper guard you can see they are not covered at all. If anyone cares.....
Case looks nice. I just brought the rotating one but this looks really good.

I bought the rotating one too and hate it
The popper is a stupid idea, impossible to remove and attach with the TF insde without almost cracking the screen from the back
Should have been Velcro I think, I might replace it
Also the TF doesnt sit straight inside it, so the camera is partially covered by the back of the case

I don't know. Very sturdy so it SEEMS like metal. It's covered in leather so hard to tell.
I have the blurex case same as OP and love it. I've had several different tablets and tried most all the versions of cases, and this Blurex is the best I have ever had. It is extremely functional also looks really classy.
I ordered the Blurex case after reading your review and I just got it in the mail today. Its really nice, the fit is perfect with no slipping or sliding. The only thing I dont like is that the bottom is quite tight so its kind of awkward to put into the stand mode. Im sure itll break in though with use.

Yeah its gets a little more loose. But to be honest I like having it somewhat hard to get out. I just have to add, it passed to toddler test this weekend with flying colors
I bought this from Amazon after reading this review.
Great case, really nice. Thanks!
Picked up this case from Amazon UK to replace a previous case, love it, really well made, solid professional finish and really light.
I think the best part is having 100% of the screen area visable

Yeah definitely. Big reason I bought I it actually and it did not disappoint. The case does not cause any extra steps to get the tab docked.

Here u go dude. U obviously cannot close the case while docked but everything else is cool.
just ordered one thanks to this review for bringing it to my attention. Hope I like it. Was really hoping for something like the speck candy case for the ipad. Can't such a beast so got this guy. Thks
I love this case.
Ordered and received this case because of this review. I love it. When it is closed, it feels very durable, and I don't worry about breaking the transformer. When opened, the different viewing angles are perfect.
Thanks for posting this review and steering me towards this case!
So I was searching for a replacement case because I'm really unhappy with my poetic slim case. I was searching on Overstock and came across this swivel case, and im in love. I've seen one similar for the ipad, but did not know one existed for the transformer. It leaves access for all ports, has a hard plastic back covered with that fake leather type feeling material. The transformer can rotate 360 degrees in the case as well as stand. The case does not add much bulk, but protects all sides, screen, and back. It closes with an elastic strap. I'm really happy with this new case!

Yep, I have about the same case, I purchased mine off Amazon. It's superb. My only complaint is that it's somewhat easy for the TF to fall out of the grooves when you have it propped up. Still, works great for what I wanted.

Yes, very good case. Most case has cut opening on the corner and the tablet will dent if drop. This case covers all corner and it is very solidly build. There is the two and three groove version, get the two groove one. Mine holds the tablet very well and doesnt came off easily.
We just received ours and I could not be happier. It's exactly what I wanted out of the case.

I have a couple questions. How easy is it to remove for those of us who have the dock? Also if you fold the lid back how flat does it lay like if you were to read with it?

It is pretty easy to remove the case. It holds the tablet very securely, but is easy to take out. And the lids folks back 2 ways. Either close to the swivel point, our in the muddle if the case. either way, it lays very flat.
Is it dockable? I only ask because the picture on overstock has a dock showing. If not its still a nice case for the price.
Sent from my HTC Sensation using Tapatalk
Not to bump an old thread, but is this case available with 3 angles instead of just two? How well does the plastic housing protect the tablet? I'm assuming is not removable like the RooCase as well.
Actually this case was the second one I bought..
I love this case... the TF is easy to put in it and remove it (while still being secure) and I dont own a dock so I cant say as to that, but other than it slipping out of the grooves sometimes its the best case I have seen... this is my new go to..
Are any of the cameras obstructed by the case? My original case I replaced (rooCase) had camera holes as small as those and the back camera looked like it had a circular vignette. The front camera only became affected when the case shifted a bit. Looks like this case would have similar issues, even though I love the rotatable aspect.

I have been looking for suitable cases for ages and have finally settled on 2 that work for me. One is a tuff-luv universal 10 inch netbook folio case which I use with the dock when I'm at work. It fits perfectly and has elastic straps which hold the dock in place. Bought direct via ebay.
The other is a Great Shield which I use for tablet only when I'm at home. It fits great although a little stiff for getting the tablet in and out. the speaker still sounds nice and loud. The only thing I don't like about it is the lip which is meant to be the catch for holding it shut. It's a bit of tight fit, but may loosen up in time. Bought from amazon uk.

I have the same style case for the second one, and I agree with you, that lip that closes it is damn tough!
The lip on my case was so tight it wouldn't close at all. But I found out it softens up if you heat up it and then you can pull it back a bit for a better fit. I heated it up by repeatedly holding it over an electric stove for a few moments and then using a round pencil to pull it back evenly while keeping it nice and round. Give it a try, just make sure you don't burn your house in the process

Do anyone of you have it? Would you recommend it? Does the tablet get damaged from the sides?

I would recommend this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007P657RI/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01 over the VersaSleeve, I have both and the VersaSleeve is more of a carrying case (for tablet+dock).

Somewhat fits, but don't think it fits properly - read somewhere that the cover doesn't quite properly clip on securely.

Any chance you could post a few on device pics and some close ups please? The versasleeve is on my very short list as I want more of a carrying case that a cover.

If you don't want a case that sits stuck on your table, and want more of a carrying bag that double acts as a dual-view stand for your tablet, this is perfect!
Just got one today from Buy.com. I'm using it for a tablet + keyboard carrying case which seems to be its best use. Looks nice...

Yes...
I use the VersaSleeve for a couple of months now, and I think it's great. As said earlier, it really is a 'carrying bag' which also doubles as a stand for the tablet. But if you want to use the tablet, you need to take it out of the 'bag', which is a big advantage for me because I don't want to hold a tablet and extra case, which makes it only heavier and thicker.

I am very happy with the MoKo Flip Stand Cover Case
Here is the one i am using and i just cannot get over how much i freaking love it.. I am beyond impressed. Its 12 bucks.. took about 2~3 weeks to get here. But well worth the wait. My step mom got a case for her Kindle, has the option of putting it up in a prop mode. Like for watching movies. But she paid freaking 30 bucks for it. The quality of my case is (in my mind) better than hers, it has the function to rotate the device to prop it up in landscape or portrait. I cannot explain in words how amazed i am. Prolly the best quality product i have ever gotten from China.

How's the buttons, port and slim case? Does it fits properly?
How's the build quality? Does it leave any mark on the screen when close? I have this case on my kindle and it kinda leave stripe mark due to the fabric from the case but it can be easily removed by wiping and doesn't leave any scratch. I also want this one but items from this area usually takes 2 weeks minimum.
Another thing it looks like it provides 2 viewing angle, on my kindle its only stable when landscape and it falls back when portrait mode especially for lower angle viewing.
would appreciate if you post pic showing the thickness and how it stand for both landscape and portrait in both viewing angle.
I think I will be getting this one especially available in prime
I have the versa sleeve. Got it on samsclub.com for like 12$ thanks to someone here on xda posting the sale!
I like it a lot for my needs. I had a thick poetic case, but it was too bulky. I prefer to use the tablet naked and then have the sleeve to use as a stand/carrying case. It is thick, durable and I don't worry about it when I throw the tablet in my messenger bag. The stylus loop on it is a plus.
