I found a real nice Messenger bag that works perfect for my TF (and my G Tab for that matter). The case can be found at Office Depot and is branded Ativa Mobil-IT. I can't find anything online for this case and I can't figure out who really makes it.
They have a 10.1" netbook messenger bag that is a perfect fit for my tablets. Plenty of storage space for other items like my headphones, spare battery for phone, chargers and usb cables. Ironically it does not fit my 10.1" netbook.
I'm going to do a video review but I am waiting for my keyboard before I do that.

So I am a student, and I'm always walking around with a backpack full of books. I want to carry my transformer and its dock with me so I can do some on the fly word processing between classes when I get a chance, but I'm worried about the weight of my books being pressed against the dock, being pressed against the tablet in the case.
So, does anyone know of a good, hard, case that will fit the dock and the tab? I looked through the sticky and didn't seem to find anything that wasn't discontinued (unless I missed it??).
Thanks a lot!
Regards
Smith
I have the same conditions in my bag due to my classes.. I don't use a hard case but these:
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_s...oocase+super+bubble+neoprene+sleeve+case+10.1
work super good and are only like 15 bucks.. the bubbles on the inside are super cushiony.. I don't even worry when its in there.
That's dope! If I may ask, how do you situate your tab in your backpack? Front, back,? And do you face your screen to your keyboard dock or away?

I carry mine in my backpack with no issues. I wanted one that would encase the tablet AND the dock. In my opinion, this one is the most practical if you are almost always using the dock anyway.
Well, since I can't put a link in a reply yet; go to amazon and look up: "Poetic(TM) 2in1 Ultra Light Leather Case for ASUS Eee Pad Transformer"
Hope this helps!

I use this for with the dock. There's also a more expensive blue one, I wish they had a green.. but I got the red because it's cheap and worth the cost!
I am using the malina case made for Mac Air 11. Fit perfectly.

I ran across this one at Walmart. Fits perfectly while docked or not, and is very well cushioned. It has a good amount of room, allowing me to carry my adapter, phone charger, Jambox, and ZaggSparq. For $25, it's a pretty good deal.
yes its very nice

I have a rooCase coming in next week, but I'm looking for something else for extra padding when I'm traveling and to carry accessories with the tablet.
It looks like this Targus bag should be about the right size, but I was wanting to make sure.
Yes I have one. I got mine at target for around 24 bucks. It is a perfect fit. I imagine the keyboard will fit in the other compartment perfectly but i have no keyboard.
The inside pocket might seem to small but it is very soft and it doesn't take long to stretch making a very snug fit.
It holds my prime and 2 chargers. I don't have a need to carry more but there is room for it.
I 100% recommend this bag.
Yeah, I saw it at Target a couple of hours ago for that price, which is why I asked. Thanks for the review!
I have it as well and second the perfect fit. When the dock is attached to the tablet it fits next to the inside pocket. When their separate, the tablet fits in the pocket and the dock fits right next to it. The padding is soft and not excessive. I included some pics for you. There's also room for the charger in the outside pocket and of course a cloth for the fingerprints.
I also paid 24.00 at Target but couldn't find online for that price. I 100% recommend
I almost bought it several times in the month ( felt like months) wile my prime was preordered. Then my wife bought me one for Christmas though I still had a bit of a wait. It is perfect for travel. It feels like it was made for the prime.
I picked up this at Best buy. Had some rewards points that needed to be used

It fits it well and it has the two compartments which fit it nicely if I detach the keyboard they can both be separated and protected if I choose or it fits fine as one piece. It has extra pockets on the inside for my mouse, cables and charger.

I got this one. It looks exactly the same but the two compartments are supposedly a little bigger than the one you posted. Yours is the TSM148US while mine is the TSM097US. It's a little cheaper too.

Check out this review:
Perfect for my ASUS Eee Pad Transformer and its keyboard dock, June 8, 2011
By L. Paquin (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
This review is from: Targus CityGear Netbook Case for up to 10.2 Inch Netbooks- Black and Grey TSM097CA (Personal Computers)
I have been looking around to find a good mean to carry my ASUS Eee Pad Transformer tablet around and its Keyboard/Docking Station but not necessarily always docked. Most netbook carrying bag only have one padded compartment to put the netbook. I was looking for one which had two sections so that I can leave them undocked to quickly pull the tablet alone quickly (as opposed to pull the docked tablet, undock and then put the keyboard back in the bag).
Last weekend, I brought my Transformer and the keyboard dock and went shopping around for that perfect bag. I found the Targus CityGear Mini (TSM148US) and tried it. The form factor was definitively what I was looking for but one of sub-sections was a little tight. I still decided that it would work for me and that it might strech a little over time. Then, when I looked on Amazon, I saw that there was this model, the Targus CityGear Netbook Case for up to 10.2 Inch Netbooks (TSM097US), which had pretty much the same specs but was cheaper (always a good thing). So, I decided to try it.
I received today and quickly opened it. It is pretty much the same as the one I tried last weekend but the two sub-compartments are bigger. So, no need to strech them and they work out of the box. It is a great way to carry my tablet docked or not to the keyboard. The side pockets of the bag also offer enouch space to carry the charger (it is pretty small anyway) and also my Arkon Portable Fold-Up Stand (great stand for this tablet BTW).
So, all-in-all, I highly recommend this tablet. I had been searching for recommendations for the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer and did not find anything that stroke me. This is why I thought of writting this detailed review (and I will post pictures) for my fellow Transformer owners!

This case looks pretty cool. How much storage space is there in the other slot? Is it enough to carry say a mouse, charger, and sixaxis?
I bought this one.

It works for the most part just will for a little more pocket space in the other spots.
I have just bought a Thinkpad Tablet (the original andriod version)
Was looking for a thinkpad tablet dock here in Australia as I remember that they were selling for $40 at one point. However couldn't find it online anymore.
On the online chat with a lenovo rep, he tells that dock 2 will work with the the original thinkpad and more interestingly.... HDMI will work from the dock as well.
Can anyone confirm this? HDMI was a major missing thing from the original dock
I think it will work. The port for the tablets is the same and I found out the original android dock was supposed to have HDMI out but they removed it before release.
You can see it in the picture I just took.
Just found this picture from the Lenovo site.
Is the original dock compatible with the Thinkpad Tablet 2?
I don't need all the ports. I just want to charge faster. The original dock is much cheaper.
Neither dock is immediately cross-compatible.
I had a TPT1 and still have its dock. My TPT1 was upgraded by Lenovo to a TPT2 after numerous warranty issues. They also gave me a free dock since I had purchased the TPT1.
To this question, I'll caution owners from buying the "other" dock for their device. Neither is 'out-of-the-box' compatible with the other tablet's physical dimensions.
The TPT1 dock is intended to be used in portrait mode, and the trough in which the tablet is seated on the docking connector is "boxed" on all four sides. Since the TPT2's connector is on the bottom landscape-wise, it cannot reach the TPT1 docks' connector as-is. You'll have to cut pieces of the plastic and metal dock off at the ends of the "box" to allow the TPT2 drop onto the connector.
Here's a pic of the TPT1 dock's "boxed" trough:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/wwzqrgi9tjhrro8/2013-02-17 11.58.04.jpg
I also estimate that the TPT2 dock will not work with the TPT1-- if someone is doing so successfully, I will be happy to be proven wrong! :laugh:
The reason I think it won't work is the comparative width of the TPT1 vs. TPT2. The TPT2 is significantly slimmer than the TPT1. While the TPT2 dock is not "boxed" on the ends like the TPT1 dock, the trough looks to be too narrow to allow the TPT1 to slide in to it. The TPT2 slides in snugly, and it is much thinner than the TPT1.
This pic is not as clear as I'd like, but it is attempting to show that the trough of the TPT2 dock (held upright in my left hand) including the plastic lip in the front is still narrower than the TPT1 trough.

Hope this is helpful.

Is there a source for the TPT1 docks? seems scarce on ebay and internet
Wow... they have become a little scarce.
Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-0A3395...65591584&sr=8-1&keywords=thinkpad+tablet+dock
Also the connector on the TPT2 Dock is a little bit different than on tpt1

Here's a video review for a better look at the bag.

My Tab Pro 12.2 with a folio or keyboard case fits perfectly. It has plenty of room for a keyboard, mouse, charger, hotspot, and all your other table accessories.
Here's another that's nice (& cheaper)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HJOK66I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I picked up the GNP 12.2 relatively "cheap" for $449 refurbished by Samsung as a easy, portable laptop replacement for my HP2000. All I really do away from my desktop is email, web browsing, Facebook, Tapatalk, Youtube, Netflix, and a handful of things that Android handles well, and it works great.
My current case is a $15 eBay cheapy that I am not happy with... What I am looking for is a recommendation for a case that has a keyboard and can be used as a plain tablet case in your hand, lap, or stand up on a table w/o the keyboard, about 50/50 usage each way, without completely swapping cases.
I was hoping for an option under $50 and was looking at the Khomo keyboard case with swivel or a Moko BT keyboard case on Amazon.
Any recommendations on something else or anyone using either of these cases?

I can highly recommend the Logitech Keyboard pro. Ok. It's expensive but it's worth every cent!
Have a look at youtube, there is a test.
I am very happy with my Logitech pro KB.
In combination with the Logitech ultrathin touch mouse the Galaxy is a perfekt office.
For keyboard cases specially designed for the Note Pro, the Logitech is great.
Still, I would love to have a keyboard with trackpad since many times the combination of Keyboard and touch screen is very inefficient and I don't want to carry a mouse.
There are generic Chinese cases with keyboard and trackpad but they look cheap to me (not only in the price).
Asus has a great BT piece called ASUS Transleeve Keyboard 90XB00HP-BKB090 or 90XB00HP-BSL070 that comes with a folding cover to place the tablet at the correct angle but I don't know if it will fit the Note Pro well.
Also, the keyboard is intended for a Windows tablet so maybe the multimedia keys will not function properly in Android.
