Starting a new thread since my other thread got destroyed, what is generally perceived to be the best case style? I`m thinking of just a sleeve, UT then if I drop it whilst using it it wont be protected. Is there a good one for both keyboard and tablet, or is it best to get two separate ones?
Thank you, suggestions would be appreciated!

If you usually leave your keydock in all the time, I would def get a case that fits both.
I guess it depends on what way you're gonna use it more often.
I'm also thinking of getting just a sleeve type of case, that can fit just the tablet or both tablet+keyboard.
I would be using it at sixthform so will be using the keyboard a lot! But, wouldn't need one for both whilst in use I guess?

Search for "Asus TF101 keyboard case" on Ebay, see if that works!

all the cases that can take the tablet and the dock together look horrible. they cover up all the surroundings of the tablet and the dock. like this:

i found the best combination was to use the blurex style cases for the tablet, they allow you to connect the dock and its perfectly useable, you just cant close the case fully with the dock attached.
if i am out and about and just using the tablet i just use the blurex cases. if i am out and about and using the dock too i put the blurex case and dock seperatley in this:

I really like my Tuff-Luv case. But it "suffers" from the bezel covering issue so you probably wouldn't like it. I like that the bit for the keyboard comes right off, with some heavy duty snaps, for when I just want the tablet only.

Anyone know if the one for original transformer will work? any preference on which model might be better I found several on Amazon

From what it sys it will fit, it should. It says the tf101 and the gtab. The size of the 2 is similar. Gtab is on the thinnerside and tf101 is the lenght and height wise similar.

Since I already have a BT Keyboard and mouse, and they work great with the TP I couldn't justify the $150 for the dock, but at the same time I really wanted a stand that would let me have the tablet plugged in to the cord and standing up. I just picked up the Griffin Tablet Stand for iPad +other tablets at Walmart and it is fits perfectly. The stand is designed just right to prop up the tab and the slot for the charging/usb cable is a perfect fit.
Good deal for $25
I use the Satechi R1
I use one of these (when not using my keyboard dock)
http://www.padpivot.com/
I got one of these as part of the Kickstarter project for this product, and it is incredibly rugged, incredibly versatile, portable and works with practically any flat device including the TF Prime.
I used this with my iPad1 and now use it with my Prime.

Does that give enough clearance for the charging cable when in landscape?

Yup. Because It's fully adjustable in a number of directions, it works fine in both portrait and landscape.

Got this for $15 and have to say it is perfect!

Have a dual screen setup running off of a laptop at work, so I put this on top of my closed laptop, and it provides perfect positioning.
Also has the ability to stand the tab up like a normal stand, for $15 can't beat it!

Those things look awesome
I just made this in a few mins using a 4 inch pvc pipe, it works, and i can still charge my prime while using it which is nice
LocknLoad,
The Satechi stand looks nice, but slightly pricey. From what I can say it does look nicely made and sturdy though. Does it travel well?
I kind of like the appearance of the Griffin Xpo, but haven't heard much about anyone using it.
Cheeers,

I use a Bracketron unit. I've had it for a few years now. They make them with different mounting options. From windshield to vent to the cupholder version I use. They are like 30 at BB or can be had much less online. They are fully adjustable for size, tilt and swivel. I'm going to take a picture to give you an idea.

Thanks for the heads up. I checked on a regular basis the last few days with no luck. I was to busy today to check. But I have one on the way. This will be great for using in different vehicles.
Heres my set up. Sorry the picture is rotated.

My thoughts exactly. Maybe he should watch the road, or get a car that's so entertaining to drive that a movie isn't needed...
Got my Mountek CD slot mount today. Installed in my Audi Q5. Looks great, it only went in about 80-90% of the slot but it feels really secure and tight. Best solution for mounting I've seen so far.

im using this one www . proclipusa . com/brodit-device-holder/proclip-other-holders/regular-adjustable-holder-with-tilt-swivel-for-wider-devices-with-or-without-a-skin-875214A-13978.aspx
...doesnt work with reiko premium hybrid case.. actaly works if i remove rubber part
ps: remove spaces in the link
I have a Proclipusa [Brodit] mount in my Toyota Prius and it's great. I've been using Proclip mounts forever and highly recommend them. They're expensive, but they're precise and I think there is enough room in the back for an extended battery as it just has rails on the side that hold the phone with a big space behind it.
I'd take pictures, but I use my phone to take pictures.
It's a two piece mount. One part fits your phone perfectly, while the other part fits your car perfectly and mate together for a perfect fit.

No they wont, and you can have a CD in the player and still listen to it, you just cant eject it or load one obviously. Ive been looking at these for awhile and still flip flopping back and forth. To get he best idea of how they work just watch an installation video on it and you'll see it's quite simple and seems to be a very solid mounting method.
I prefer windshield mounts, as I can look at them while still keeping an eye on the road. Looking down at my dash I might as well be holding the phone..
Arkon is my preferred brand, their suction cup is very large and holds up well, I've had an Arkon Universal 14" for several years and it works great for my car with a long windshield, I bent the 14" arm so it comes off the windshield, touches the dash, then has the phone pointed at me, so no bouncing or vibration. They have a larger mount, but the Universal I have (slightly different than the current one, so might check specs) worked fine for my Nexus One and works fine for my Note.
I use the Samsung OEM mount, it's super solid, charges and has a 3.5mm Audio-out jack to run into your car's AUX-In.
I have two, one is vent mounted, the other is window mounted above my speedometer.

+1! The Samsung mount is great. Just be aware that you can only fit a "naked" phone into it.

I actually like the phone naked, Buy I did pick up the Samsung Leather Case
(about the size of a checkbook) that fits it nicely while in my pocket.
Yeah, I'm a naked phone user myself.
Any suggestions for universal ones or mounts that will work with an otterbox commuter?

I've had good luck with my Arkon mount. It even fits on my custom Nuvi-based mount for my car http://images47.fotki.com/v422/photos/7/7305/1460783/IMG_2462-vi.jpg
I'm soon to receive a tablet mount from them as well that I'm hoping to incorporate somewhere close to my dash.
Here's a start for you: http://arkon.com/Galaxy-S-II/index.html
This is the one that I got for my phone, works great with my cases (Ballistix and Seidio Active): http://arkon.com/Galaxy-S-II/megagrip-galaxy-s-2-flexible-windshield-car-mount.html
The camera is a little covered though, so I had taken a dremel and cut out a square piece to allow for it to show through. Sanded it off and it looks great, doesn't affect the performance of the mount at all.
EDIT: Supposedly the RAM mounts are very good as well, but are somewhat pricy. http://www.rammount.com/
I use the RAM mount on my motorcycle and it works well, so it should work great in a car too. It will also allow you to use the phone with any kind of case.

i might try this one out. thanks!
I've used Samsung and even one day bought one at Walmart both work equally well. I prefer using the Samsung with the app iOnroad. Grab that app if u don't have it very cool. In fact a similar option in my last car to what it can do cost an extra 2 grand.
