I've seen maxpedition fatboy or something a-like but they say that even a nook color would not fit the fatboy. Im looking for a everyday carry bag where i can easily pull up my tablet. Im using a backpack right now, but it seems like a messenger bag would be much better.
I've been looking for the same thing. Something that'll take the TF, dock, and a couple of thinner books.
This looks interesting, maybe?

I have a brown leather and green as shown in the video and above picture.
Best leather product I have ever owned... its a bag designed to look better with age and will last a lifetime.
Waited almost a month for delivery.... its worth it IMO.
Mobile Edge Netbook & Ultraportable Cases
You might take a look at some of the Mobile Edge netbook cases.
I can't post links yet, but you can easily find them on the Mobile Edge website. At the time of this posting, they could be found under the "Netbook & UltraPortable Cases" collection.
They are typically available on Amazon below the MSRP list price.
I am using the Allsop Ohmetric 10.2" Laptop sleeve. Neoprene construction.
http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?item_id=036969
It fits the TF with the dock perfectly, and I like that it has no zippers to scratch the TF. Even without the dock, the TF fits very well. There are no other pockets for the charger, but with the dock, youve got lots of battery life anyway. Its about being slim, and protected. I carry my TF all over with this sleeve. The lid has two padded things that fold into a wristwrest, so you could set the TF up on top of the sleeve and use the built in wrist rest while typing on the dock. Hey, its $15.00 and always in stock, how can you go wrong?
I'm using the Kensington slingbag currently, it fits the TF & dock nicely with room for accesories and my lunch

This is an indiana jones bag! i want! My friend will laugh at me for this because they will think it resembles the bag from the movie hangover.
This is the best bag:
I've got the Tom Bin Ristretto
I grabbed this sleeve for the Transformer + Dock.
HP Tablet Sleeve - Black with Red Trim - $9.88 with Prime Shipping
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0033RSNPG
Then got this to put it and other bits in. It's a great size, the sleeve above fits nicely in the back pocket leaving another front pocket and a small pouch on the front with some pen holders. If I was to criticise I'd say it could do with some zipper pockets and the strap could look a little sturdier. Still for $15 it's a great starter bag until you love it or fine something else.
Rothco Canvas Map Case Shoulder Bag - $14.85
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BFJE38
I also bought this but it's way to big for my needs, something I'd use if traveling but not for day to day use.
M-51 Engineers Field Bag - Military Style - Black - $29.25
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000YV6Q58
That leather bag looks sweet though.
I just bought this one last night locally at CompUSA for $24.99.Fits the Transformer while docked with the keyboard pretty nice. It also allows me to drop in the Asus sleeve right next to it. It has storage pockets on the front of it that allows the charger and cable and other accessories. So far pretty happy with it.

I've had my eye on the Tom Bihn Ristretto as well. I have a few questions and I'm hoping you can provide some additional info based you your experience with the bag.
Do you have the Ristretto for iPad/iPad 2 or the Ristretto 11" for Macbook Air?
Are you using it with the the Transformer tablet only or the dock as well?
How's the fit?

Use this as my everyday case. Love the fact it has 2 pouches (one for the keyboard and one for the TF). Sometimes I don't wanna use the keyboard and it's a pain to undock the TF to use it and then dock it back when I'm done to put it in a sleeve. Plus it holds my charger and cable. Each pouch is big enough to hold both the TF and dock together.

I've heard good things about the Tom Bihn products and it may be worth it to me if I plan on using the bag on a daily basis for several years and tablet purchases. I'm don't want to settle for a product I'm not 100% satisfied with that may not stand the test of time.
I bought a CaseCrown Messenger Bag for my TF...It fits the tablet alone fine, and also is a great fit with the keyboard attached...It's soft, but has great padding and a velcro clasp that holds the Eee Pad in it's own compartment in the bag......
Amazon.com: CaseCrown Vertical Multi-Pocket Messenger Bag (Chocolate Brown) for ASUS Eee Pad Transformer.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004T6592A
It's been working great for me, easy to load up and carry, plus room for other odds & ends you want to take with you........
Dave.......
Hands down this is one of the best bag if you plan on not having a bag that only carries the transformer and dock.

The stand and all its capabilities:
So far its exactly what I was looking for. I had seen another Gtab reviewer on Amazon say that it just didn't fit well with the stand. I think it fits perfect and with the foam rubber grip/pad material on the stand you can actually just grab your Gtab to move to another table or something and the stand will stay attached because its so light. I like this as I move from location to location at work with my hands full. I would otherwise have to fold it down and put it in my pocket.
If anyone wants to know that bag is a caselogic that fits the Gtab perfect! The bag is going for like 9.00 + free shipping!

I also picked up the Skinomi carbon/screen protector for 24.00 + free shipping from amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003F8UJAU I wont bother with pictures as everyone has seen this product. I will say the carbon is great and worth the money but the screen protector is almost a throw away item... with light reflection you can see all kinds of imperfections in it. I feel the material is just too soft and rubbery. I've got real look on my phone and it is the perfect protector IMO.
Thanks for doing this. Looks pretty good, I'll have to check it out.

No problem guys, I've got a "ipad" windshield car mount on its way that I will be doing a review on as well.http://www.usbfever.com/index_eproduct_view.php?products_id=1991 After over a week of searching what is out there I decided on this because it looks the least generic, not noticeable with tablet installed, tab is quickly accessible, and the suction cup + dash stand should shield from vibrations. I took a gamble if the Gtab is going to fit with this though as I couldn't find any info if someone has used it yet. From the pictures of it holding the ipad it is a slim fit from the cutouts to the backing plate. I googled the specs and the Gtab is about 1mm thicker than the 1st I pad (which fits this) so I'm going to take my chances and if need be file out the cutouts. There are other nice mounts on that site that will work for sure but are more bulky.

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.

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...

Hey guys as a lot of you have probably realized the transformer's form factor is pretty similar to a generic 10 inch netbook's dimensions. I spent a few hours the other day looking for something that is slim and would have the option to carry a few extra things (charger and cable) while offering enough protection against light bumps and scrapes. I saw a few regular black ones that if i ever left anywhere might be hard to spot. Then i saw this one for the HP mini which was black with some red accents and stretchy pockets.

The inside is lined with some fuzzy material thats super soft to the touch.
The fitment is pretty much dead on. I was afraid it wouldn't fit cuz the tab does look a bit on the long side, but here it is overlaid on the sleeve as well as sitting in it. You can also see that the zipper is the hidden type, which makes it look a little more sleek:
I don't have the dock yet (who does? lol), but i'm confident that theres plenty of room to spare judging by pictures of mockups with the two halves' thicknesses compared.
Overall, very happy with it, as i ordered it on amazon with 2 day prime and it shipped the next morning Now if only i could get this thing unbricked so i can actually use the sleeve and take it places..
Heres the link for anyone interested, 15 bucks on amazon with prime.
HP Tablet Sleeve - Black with Red Trim
looks good.
I bought one of these because of your recommendation. I got it yesterday, and I am pleased with it. It's a little thicker than I expected. Fit's perfect in length, and a little extra width, which is expected given it's form factor. There is a good amount of padding for protection. The zipper is protected from the inside, so no worries about it scratching the bezel. There's plenty of room even with the keyboard dock. I do kinda wish there was a strap/handle that you could hook your fingers through. It has a few pockets on the outside that you can slide things like usb flash or sd cards. You can squeeze the charger in one, but not comfortably. That's what the 16 hour battery life is for.
I got one of these too and its great!

I'm glad that theres room to spare with the dock, as i will probably put a small notebook in there for those instances where you just need to use paper. For the money paid, it really is a pretty good deal it seems.
Thanks for the post! I actually have that same case for my HP Mini (but with the white inner lining) and was wondering if it would fit my TF when it comes in Monday.
Now I know that it will, Thanks!
I have this case as well and it works for me I don't have the dock yet but as others have said it should have plenty of room. I found that the charger fit best in the top small pocket on the front (the one with the plastic piping on the top edge). Having the piping there helps to keep the charger from falling out. I get $10 off $20 discount cards for Office Max all the time. At my local office max this case was going for $20.99 so $11 after the discount made it a no-brainer It looks like it will also allow you to nest cases. If you buy a leather portfolio style case you could leave that attached to the TF and slide it into the neoprene case for extra protection Double-bagging, if you will.
That 'piping' on the top is actually a handle that is on both sides of the case!
I got the same case at MicroCenter in Minnesota for 9.00 in the discount section. Fits the Tablet with or without dock very well. Pouches work creat for power brick and cable. It is soft on the inside without the lint problem some of them have. IMO this is the perfect case.
P.S. I DONT NEED NO STINKING "Smart Cover". A keyboard/dock that covers the light sensor for hibernation when closed, doubles the battery life, adds full USB ports and SD slot.... NOW THAT IS A DAMN SMART COVER. (plus I got it on buy.com for only 60 bucks more that that limp vinyl feminine napkin with magnets that apple calls a cover)

wow, I didn't even think twice about that until you mentioned it...that is really clever. The design of this case is very thought out yet simplistic. I like it a lot.
Any 10" Netbook sleeve will fit it. I am using one by Built.
One of the benefits of a netbook sleeve as well is if/when you get the keyboard, it will still fit and be useful.
I have the same sleave and it fits the TF+dock just fine.

Unfortunately not the case, I bought one of the basic neoprene slip kind and it was way too small. This one however looks awesome, I think I'm sold.
I got this case too. Fits rather snugly and you need to position the tablet to sit into the groove at the bottom to ensure a good fit.
Otherwise a great case and as mentioned fits fine with the dock.
The piping handle too is a great touch.
I can confirm as well that the Transformer fits nicely with the dock attached.

Is it snug without the keyboard dock attached? Or is there a lot of unused space inside, since I suppose it was designed for a netbook which is thicker.
Found one of these at Wal-Mart on the clearance rack for 10 bucks. It had a foam insert to help it keep shape on the shelf and I keep it in there for added protection for my screen since I don't have the dock yet. This thing works very well and I love the "handle" on top. The zipper closure on top is also very snazzy.
Can't hurt that the red color also matches my iFaraday stylus!
Ok, I now have my Prime with dock and I am in now in need of a Man Bag. Looking to carry the Prime, my phone, keys, wallet, mp3 player, etc. Anybody using a Man Bag, or have suggestions for a quality bag that will hold all my crap yet look good in the process? Not looking for a huge bag, just enough room to fit all my stuff. Any suggestions.
This just arrived today, looking forward to going home and testing it out as it looks awesome: http://www.amazon.com/CaseCrown-Ver...B2T8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1327336500&sr=8-1

Update and let me know how it works - looks pretty sweet!
Yah..that does look sweet. Please update it as you find your likes and dislikes.
Could you take some pics of "Real world" stuff in there? what it looks like with the tab/dock...pens...pen drives...stuff a non marketing person would do with it.
I recently went to Office Max to get my dock (see the "where is everyone buying their docks" thread) and saw the coolest thing.
it's exactly the same bag i have for my laptop that i love but for tablets

while not a traditional "man" bag...it's a cross imo between shoulder/scout/backpack.
This is the bag I got: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0046SNNRY/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1327358978&sr=8-1
I bought mine from Target for $24. The prime fits perfectly in the inside pocket without any case. Should fit in the other inside pocket with a case. My case arrives this week.

I bought that one too. The prime will fit in the larger slot with a case. It will not fit in the smaller slot with a case. The dock will fit either slot by itself and the prime with the dock attached fits perfectly in the larger slot. It really is a nice case. I like the color inside too.
I picked up the Messenger Bag/Man Purse/Murse at Best Buy last week.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Targus+...8343234169&skuId=1805623&st=targus&cp=4&lp=38
Unfortunately, they were on sale for 24.99 last week, and they are $35 now.
I love it. Comes with a Shoulder Strap so I can wear it like a Murse. Comes with a bunch of little pockets inside, one velcro pouch for a cell phone or MP3 Player, has 2 pen/stylus holders. And it is still small.
There is a sleeve inside that fits the Transformer Prime very snug, so it will not move around. You just stretch the interior sleeve and it fits right in.
Plus, they have these IN STORE at Best Buy, just look back by the Laptop Bags!
I got this one. Has two compartments so it fits the Prime and keyboard separately or docked.

I got this one back when I had my xoom, fits the prime and dock great and has room for other stuff without being too bulky. I also like how far down it zips so your not hunting for tiny stuff at the bottom.

+1 on this case. Picked one up at Wally World. It was $25.
This case is manly enough to cover the question asked.

they also have a 12 inch. I think it is for netbooks.
It also comes in 3 colors.

I got this and love it. I use it with and without the keyboard.
The prime without the dock also fits perfectly in the small slot. It seems snug the first time but it becomes the perfect fit.

Update as requested CheeseMcGee
Awesome bag! I want to start using it instead of my usual everyday bag, it has a hell of a lot of padding and fits the prime very snuggly, so I just need to get over my misconception that the prime is made of brittle china and properly integrate it into my life. It has a lot of pockets which is awesome as I love to keep stuff separate, looks really nice imo - from my experience so far I would highly recommend it

I just picked one up for myself and my poetic case fits perfectly alongside my docked TFP. This way I have the option of undocking and slipping it into the Poetic case.

Timbuk2 freestyle netbook messenger
I got a Timbuk2 Freestyle Messenger today and it fits my Prime with the dock attached perfectly. It is well made out of thick cordura with a waterproof lining, a separate internal pouch for the tablet that is microfiber lined and secured with velcro, and plenty of smaller pockets for your keys etc. I got it directly from them and the color i bought is on sale for $39.
I can't post a link yet but you can find them by googling the title of this post.
I am not affiliated with them, it's just a great product.

After much research and deliberation I settled on this...
Hmm, due to me being a nube I can't post outside links but searching ebay with this number works (120758831139)
Question is, which will arrive first? My Purple Prime or my Vertical Messenger (Satchel)? The Prime eta is February 20 and due to Chinese new-year the HN bag is due by March 1.
---------- Post added at 02:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:02 PM ----------
It appears the Vertical Messenger has taken the lead. I now have a tracking number for it with UPS.
I bought this and it works great, STM Bags 11" Jacket (Black/Green)

I'm looking a simple carry case for the Prime with its dock. Something small, where the Prime would fit snugly. This is to give it additional protection in my larger laptop bag, so I don't need straps or pockets. I found a couple of such cases on Amazon, but they are not quite perfect.
This one seems fine, but has a nasty smell. This one has good reviews and would be ideal, but apparently is slightly too large for the original Transformer, so the Prime would "rattle" inside.
I got one from Currys, can't link it so just search for " LOGIK L10NTB11 10" Tablet Case".
Prime fits perfectly with and without the dock.
Thanks. It looks all right and is quite cheap. What about quality and amount of padding?
The Swissgear Lunar 10.2" netbook case is quite good. It has decent padding all around, and the woven nylon side panels are more sturdy, and more resistant to moisture than any neoprene case.

It is pretty much a perfect fit for the Prime & dock:

Well if you can find a better price go for it
I paid $19 for the case in my local Walmart, but it is very hard to find this particular case at an online retailer that will deliver to the U.S., so I haven't looked to hard to find them. Also, as a U.S. resident it is hard to search UK versions of sites like Amazon because they always wants to default any searches to the U.S. site.
I just ordered one of these
http://www.amazon.com/SumacLife-Neoprene-Transformer-10-1-inch-Wristband/dp/B006TMLXYK
looks like a nice case, and a good price for a neoprene one.
I'll do a little write up on it when it comes.
Caselogic pls-9 neoprene exterior, microfiber interior, perfect fit for tab+dock pocket on front for bits, micro sd, cleaning cloth, charger (just fits), with a dedicated pouch for a thumb drive.

I use the John Lewis 10" D3O sleeve.
http://www.johnlewis.com/231418155/Product.aspx
Initially a tight fit, but being leather it stretches, so I like it as it only takes up a bit more space than the Prime
Probably worth looking in John Lewis in case the initial fit bothers you, but it only took a few days to loosen up...
OK, though I'm an American now, I ordered the snug fitting neoprene case made in the UK by No Limit Wetsuits on eBay UK. It's kind of a wetsuit for the Prime. I appreciate that it is sized to the Prime and not just some generic 10" thingy. Being neoprene, it nicely accommodates the Prime with, or without the dock. It's snug either way.
The only real down side is the very real neoprene smell. I fully appreciate the utility and snug practicality of this custom designed case; the smell I could do without.
Bye.

Eventually I bought Wenger Lunar. Strangely enough, they sent me a different version of the bag with handles. I'm not going to complain.
It is all right, but not perfectly sized for the Prime. The width is fine, but it is about an inch to high, so the Prime moves inside a bit. I think I will also get a neoprene one as an additional protection for the tablet in my rucksack.
PS: Does the neoprene smell fade with time?

Hmm the one I got had no neoprene smell at all. But mine also didn't have handles. It sounds like they sent you a Sherpa, which look similar to the Lunar but comes with handles and sometimes a shoulder strap. It is also slightly larger than the Lunar and makes greater use of neoprene in its construction.
Interesting. Mine looks different. I wonder what they sent me.
I bought the Black/Red neoprene case in the OP from ebay for around £4. Think it was listed as ipad case or something like that. Fitted nice and tight and also came minus the "smell"
1st case in first post is 3.99 at fry electronics
