Would a 11" MacBook Air sleeve fit a Asus Transformer tablet ? just the Tablet not the dock , as a general rule.
These photos are what I'm thinking of
Any 10.2 " product should fit...I bought a hp mini case slim case and it fits perfect ...

I bought a Belkin Neoprene Sleeve for Netbooks up to 10.2-Inch and its far too big even for the tablet and keyboard. There's nearly enough room for another one in there

So, it fit. It may have had extra room, but it fit, lol.
I had a similar issue with my iCan sleeve, but once I got the dock, it fits super tight, lol.

Hey all,
I found this on amazon. Thought maybe some might be interested. It's a cheap alternative and I've already placed my order for it. 9.58 isn't alot to spend and that's all i figured I'd lose. I ordered the brown one but there's a black one too. Might be a cheaper alternative to the tuf-luv case since some were worried about the bulk. I'll update this once I receive it and give you some pics.
Since it won't allow me to url tags or give out the url, search for Navitech + Asus and you should see what I'm talking about.
Let me know what you think!
This looks JUST like the Elsse Premium Synthetic Leather Case (there's a thread about this elsewhere in this sub forum). They were having a discussion there about whether or not the case would work with the dock as well, and I guess the answer would be yes, if you unfasten the velcro?
Can anybody confirm?
Is this what you mean? Looks good if not a little thick when all combined.
Anxious to hear any reviews.
Yeah...that's what I was talking about...apparently they must have had a huge messup with the price because I got one yesterday for 4.99 + 4.49 shipping....they've sent it and it looks like it's coming from the UK...anyhow...the 4.99 are gone and they've got only the 19.99 left. I'll give a review once I get the case...even if you undo the velcro, you can still to a material store (joanne fabrics, etc.) and get a longer velcro strap to hold it together. Thanks!
Wouldn't the rooCASE Slim work the same way?
http://goo.gl/V0RMe
roocase does not do the samee thing at all; this has a case for the tablet, then also for the docking port and then they finally work together somehow.

Looks like someone gave it 1 star on the Amazon product page. According to the reviewer it does not accommodate a docked tablet too well.

Looks like the reviewer may have a legit point. If you look at the sideways pictures, you can tell the tablet is not docked. The tablet hangs over the edge of the dock by almost an inch. Anybody who has the tablet with the dock knows that when it is closed, there is almost no overhang. I know I won't be buying it.
With that said, if anyone knows of a better case. Even one that would store the dock and tablet separately, I'd like to know about it.
ilgadets,
If you're interested in a sleeve case, I recommend this one:
http://www.overstock.com/Luggage-Bags/Wenger-Swiss-Gear-Legacy-10.2-inch-Tablet-iPad-Netbook-Slimcase/5804731/product.html
It has two zippered pockets, handles, a removable shoulder strap, and pockets on the front and back,
and it fits the Transformer and keyboard dock (separately) perfectly.
The handles can be slipped into the pockets, but that adds "bumps" that I didn't like.
I wanted the thinnest possible case, so I cut off the the handles and the triangular clips for the shoulder strap.
I think this is one of the best solutions for carrying the tablet and keyboard separately.
Regards,
Eric
FWIW - I grabbed one from best buy for an HP Mini 10 and it works perfectly. Fits very snug with the dock, and i feel safe carrying the tab around in it. Also has a zip pouch for a cleaning cloth, HDMI adapter, headphones, and other small items.
Was about $25 iirc... so a little bit more than what you're looking at here.

I have the exact same one, mines black and kinda has a 3D cube kinda pattern on the front. Anyways, I'm an employee, so mine only set me back $7. BBY employee discount is changing though, so that won't be the case in the future.
Anyways, case fits great, holds tab or tab+keyboard excellently.

Are you guys taking about a case or a carrying bag? Unless I'm mistaken, I believe the OP is talking about a folio type case for both the tablet and dock - kind of like this Tuff-Luv combo case.

It looks to me like it is blocking the speakers ?

I've given up on the "wrap around the outside but doesn't cover the beautiful back" silicon case that apparently will never come up. Went ahead and ordered one of these.
Can't you just but a silicone case and cut out the back using a box cutter? Or you looking for something different?

The charging port is covered while it's closed. Someone on Amazon complained about that and a representative of the company responded that it was designed that way on purpose so that the port wouldn't wind up getting damaged while the case was in use.
I just got this case and I must say it is awesome. Excellent quality. Highly recommended.

Verteks Case
I read a review on Amazon from a member here at XDA. I won't use his
name because he might not like it. But, I just got this from Verteks
for $5.99!! Total cost was $10.98 with shipping.
I Love it ! This will hold me over until I can save up enough to get the
keyboard dock.
Thanks to the guy who pointed me in the right direction and to
Verteks for a great product!
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B005HI4FPG
does anyone have this case? from what I can tell, the tab goes one side, the keyboard dock the other and it's a hard shell carry case.
however, nowhere to put your cables.
does anyone know of a similar case to this but with an pouch as well for cables? I know it's a TF101 case, b ut considering the prime is a small item it will fit this case easy.
I am looking at this case as well as I read about the reviews on the office transleeve having all the problems with the tablet and the lack of availability online. From the pictures on amazon it seems that its quite thin to carry around. I read a review somewhere maybe from it official website saying that this can carry a dock with the transformer so i assume this is okay.
i have this case! it fits very well and you dont even have to take the prime out of the dock. also, it is a hard case, so it protects much better against falls etc.
on amazon germany it was available immediately

Thanks for the info! just a quick question, since the tablet is very thin and so once you put the prime into the case does it get really fat or huge to hold with one hand?

of course its thicker, its not a neoprene sleeve. but thats why it protects well and you can still easily carry it with one hand! i really like it. didnt expect much for the price and was pleasantly surprised!
i also ordered a 10'' netbook case from case logic to compare, but the prime has too much room in it and its more of a thin neoprene, so its just scratch-protection...
I bought this hard case:
eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace
Internal dimensions now that I have it in my hand are:
Case: 26.8cm x 19.1cm x 3-4cm
Prime: 26.3cm x 18.1cm x 2cm
As you can see, it's a pretty close fit in theory. Have to wait 5 days before I get my Prime to confirm it's a good fit.
Alternatives to consider
Hey guys,
just like everyone else, looking for a proper case for my prime
since eventually (in the near future) I plan on getting the Dock, i'm looking for a case/sleeve
- looked at all the cased and couldn't find one I liked
- Finally found a case, but haven't had a chance to try it yet
it's the HP VX403AA / VX404AA it's a mini neoprene sleeve for the HP Mini netbook
- price is 32$ as low as I could find it. pricey but nice
- Has 2 smaller pockets on one side and a big one on the other side
- Plenty of storage to keep the charging cable/charger/micro USB with the tablet wherever you go.
- I'll let you know how it fits as soon as I try it, you can find it in local BestBuy's so if any1 is interested in trying it out before I get to it, by all means post your results.
Thank you,
Rodi

I have recently purchased the envelope neoprene case by built. They sell several different versions but I bought the 9-10" net book version and the transformer prime with dock attached fits like they were made for each other. It also has a front pocket for your charge cables and charger.

This is a great case, my prime and dock lives in it when I'm not using it. It fits snug and feels well protected. There is a mesh Pocket inside which I justuse to keep the screen cloth, but you could easily fit a USB cable in.

Ive got one of these coming for mine.
I wanted an EVA case yet not too huge/heavy. The strap/handle seems flexible so it can securely "sling" for a bike/skate trip, but also carry like a briefcase.
I also like the added room (sunglasses, wallet, possibly charger).
I'll give a review once I get it and have some hands on experience.

I've seen the CaseCrown up close and personal. My buddy bought it for his Galaxy Tab 10.1. Nice case, well designed and constructed. For the price I think you'll be happy.
I've got the Targus case and love it. It's got 2 compartments so it'll fit both the tablet and dock separately or together.
Timbuk2 Quickie Carry Bag- real nice!
Picked up one of these (Size Small) from amazon and it is real nice as a small tablet bag for the Prime, with full shoulder strap. A little pricey, but Highly recommended. Great build construction with lifetime warranty to protect the prime, and 2 side pockets for the charger and phone. It's smaller than it looks in the picture- just a little larger than the tablet itself
Insulated very well inside with well constructed bubble membrane foam, to protect the tablet from vibrations.
My Prime has a leather case and it fits great inside this bag !!! A nice compromise between a sleeve and a full size laptop bag, with still a good amount of room for charger and cable! I think the Prime with the Keyboard dock should fit nicely too!

This one works well with the Prime w/ a case on it (11 inch): <-- what I currently have
http://g-form.com/product/extreme-sleeve-for-laptops/
To each his own, I find the g-form adds too much bulk and the 11" leaves too much room in the sleeve.
But it looks like a good product.
do you think that the Zeroshock III for iPad might fit better? I saw someone's ipad review it looks like it still has some room, but its actually slimer profile with 1", but the for netbook one has 2" thickness which seems be be more than necessary for the prime + dock?

I think the ipad and the netbook has the same thickness which is advertised to be 1.5" but actually, when closed, the sleeve comes out to be about 1.25" thick (see photo). The inner dimension of the ipad sleeve is spec'ed as 9.5" by 7.5" and the 8.9 netbook sleeve is spec'ed as 10.5" by 7.5". I have the 8.9 netbook sleeve; (take a look at the photo) there is only about a quarter inch or room left on each side.
