Saw this on their website last week and it was for pre-order.
It's now in stock. You can buy it online or pick it up in store, I'm in Southern California and it's available at 6 Fry's near me.
http://www.frys.com/product/6641864
I've ordered it. Getting the Keyboard Dock shipped this week also, hopefully the combo fits great in this bag.
EDIT: This case completely BLOWS. Like others have said, it's not a tablet case, it's a netbook case.
The handles are attached from the inside, you can't have the zippers closed with the handles out.
Whenever I'm near a Fry's i'm going to return this POS.

Looks kind of basic. I bought a neoprene bag that is similar that has a pocket for about $10 from Fry's. Let us know if there is anything special. I might stop by my Fry's this weekend to take a look
If this is meant for the Transformer why does the shape look out of wack? That bag is almost square as opposed to the Transformer which is definitely more rectangular.
wish it came with a shoulder strap.

B/c this isn't a tablet bag - it's a netbook bag.

Hi all,
I bought this bag yesterday. It fits the tablet w/ keyboard nicely and is pretty good quality. The issue I have is that it doesn't comfortably fit the charger as the bag is kinda thin w/ limited extra space. I'm considering this one instead, as I have it for my full size laptop: Targus CityGear Netbook Case for up to 10.2 Inch Netbooks
All in all, good bag for the 15 buck price, but as I want the extra space for the charger and a portable external drive and mouse, probably gonna spring for the Targus.
Somewhatdamaged
I didn't see one at the Fry's here in San Marcos. I've got a $10 generic netbook case that has a pocket for the power adapter.

Whats the point of having a slim tablet if you are going to lug it around like a netbook, with powercords and all?

I love my Arkon stand, but got tired of folding it up and tucking it in the case to carry to work so I started looking for another. Found this one on Amazon and thought it would look great ... and it does! Comes in gold too.

It is way classier-looking than any other I have seen and works just as well in Portrait mode. A caveat, they are buying these from china and the welding is not as precise so you may need to (like I did) take some pliers to it to straighten the arms a bit. I had some foam grip things made for pens/pencils that slid over the arms to make a nice cushy bed for my tab.
I clicked the link and while it describes a stand, it shows pictures of Boots. Yeah, BOOTS! Haha, and also keep in mind that the person purchasing would have to have Amazon Prime to get it for under $10 shipped. (I do have amazon prime, but I'm not in need of boots ) But it does qualify for FSSS (spend $25 on qualifying products and free shipping).
The picture you posted does look really nice though.

Yes, and in fact once I placed the order - that is what showed (picture) with the description of the stand so I wrote the seller. I made it EXTREMELY clear that if it was not exactly as described, they would be getting it back ... on their dime. They replied immediately, assuring me the stand was what was ordered. And that IS what I received.
That is the beauty of Amazon and prime, the service is unparalleled. If something is not exactly as described, refund is easy and immediate and if it is not a big-ticket thing, generally I keep the wrong item for free.
In reality it is every bit as nice as the (non-boots) picture. Very pleased with it and if anyone else in the family had tabs, they would be getting them as gifts.
With it being cast iron, I would think that it would be pretty rough on the case of the G-Tab. Any other stand that I have found has some sort of "padding".
I saw similar stands in Wal-Mart today for about $3.50. I bought the wooden ones for a few cents more.

Funny you should mention that. I was originally thinking of some heat-shrink tubing over the little arms that hold the tab and then saw something on a clearance table at the dollar store.
The little foam sleeves that go on pens and pencils fit perfectly. Come in beaucoup colors too.
Just took delivery of my new Tuff Luv case, I went for the cheaper faux leather option. First impressions is that the build quality is really nice, when you have the transformer docked it all fits together nicely. Equally using it without the dock it turns into a nice folio case, not 100% sure I like the stand part on the back as I don't use it and it adds a little extra bulk, but without it you wouldn't have a docking place for the keyboard. After using it next week I will update with how it functions.

Thanks for the first look! I've had my eye on one of these - they're not cheap, but they're a lot cheaper than a new Transformer!
Think I may take the plunge and order one later today!
Cheers

Wow! Quite pricey but very nice.
I'm waiting for mine as well... the tablet-only version (i.e. no keyboard).
It was shipped yesterday, should be here in a few days

@tonyz3 are sure? have you tried? if it is true i am cancelling my order now.
Well, mine was ordered last night - I went for the leather keyboard and dock version (as I hate faux-leather, but that's just me).
It should be here by the end of the week (I went for the free 3-5 day shipping), so I'll post some feedback once I have it.
Cheers!

Yes.. one of my photos from side on shows the tablet docked and closed with the cover in place.
If its not too much trouble, could someone please post a few more detailed photos of the tablet in the case without the dock.
My leather case (with keyboard cover) arrived this afternoon. The construction is very good and the tablet is well secured with or without the keyboard.
It does add somewhat to the weight of the overall package, but this is to be expected - they do not use lightweight leather in the build.
I expect it to last at least as long as the Transformer itself...

Hi - I'm thinking of the leather case with keybd cover but was concerned if the tablet can easily slip out when keybd not connected - is this a problem?
Also how is it when you want to stand it up as a tablet by itself to watch a movie? Does the stand work?
Many thanks!
just purchased the Targus A7 Neoprene Netbook Sleeve for the Transformer Prime. Pay $18 from Staples.
Staples link here: http://www.staples.com/Targus-A7-Netbook-Sleeve-Black-102/product_903968
Manufacturer link here: http://www.targus.com/us/productdetail.aspx?regionId=7&sku=TSS109US&PageName=a7%20netbook%20|%20Targus%20USA&productCategoryId=5&bucketTypeId=0&searchedTerms=a7%20netbook&navlevel1=&cp=&bannertxt=Search%20Results%20a7%20netbook
The tag says it uses the Tri-cell cushion system, which appears to be a nice thick foam lining the inside of the sleeve. If you watch the video in the manufacturer link above, that bubbly blondie says that the case is made of the same wear and water-resistant material used in tents and inflatable boats.
So far, I love this sleeve. Gives you a soft, padded protection lining on the inside (which I feel was missing in my sleeves while I was researching), and is a great fit with the Prime.
See attached photos below:

Can you or anyone else confirm the fit of the prime while attached to the keyboard dock? It would be thicker but not by too much..

You can't tell from looking at the pictures he posted? There's room for a dock and my fist in that sleeve. You'll be fine with this sleeve if you're concerned about being able to fit the keyboard dock as well.
But hey, it's not my $18. If you want to confirm more, by all means do so. But I'm pretty convinced it does by seeing those pictures.
I'm using the A7 Sleeve as well,and it works like a charm! My Prime fits perfectly,even leaving enough wiggle room (not too much tho, so its not sliding around).
Just wish it had another little side pocket for my charger!
I have this exact one also. I like it alot. It will do until I fins an official case roms go on the prime itself. Then I could put both inside this tsrgus case. I lil while back I had posted pix of this in the neoprene thread. Paid like 20 dollars from best buy. SAMSUNG galaxy tab had a really nice one but was expensive. They also had some military grade rubberized case for Ipad that looked very heavy duty. Rubber felt thick like a tire ..lol.
Overall this targus sleeve is very nice. Love how the interior is padded and protects the prime so well.
I've got the same sleeve. It has been working out just fine but ultimately I would like to get some sort of slim hard case as soon as availability of such cases improves.

Looks good! Might get either this or the rooCase bubble sleeve thing.
Found this real cheap on Amazon though
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0..._m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1NXKDVT25TQ744PXNJHG
It's the Targus A7 for 10.2 netbooks which I'm guessing is more than ample for the TP + dock.

OK. I didn't know they carried different sizes. This is the one I actually have. For 10.2 netbooks. Remember it being on the tag. That's a great deal on Amazon because it costed me 20 in best buy.
I have the Targus A7 ipad version. It fits my docked prime perfectly. It slides in and out easily and zipper closes without any contact to prime itself due to padding along the zipper.

I have the netbook 10.2 version I got from bestbuy also lol works great! For the prime and dock

I just got this 10.2" Case Logic bag. Comfortably fits the tablet and keyboard dock. Not expensive (<$20). Decent padding. Light (7 ounces). Has detachable shoulder strap. Extra pockets with room to store a mouse, earbuds, stylus, charger, etc.
It may not fit if you have a case on your tablet. Tablet pocket dimensions are 10.5 x 7.7 x 1.5".
Highly recommend.

I haven't picked up a keyboard dock yet, but this looks like a pretty good solution for my usage in some cases, thanks for the link!

Hows the quality of the craftsmanship of the case?

Good. I've got no complaints. Nylon and polyester on the exterior (think the brown version only uses polyester). No loose stitching that I've noticed. The tablet pocket is padded to protect against drops and such. The strap is connected with plastic hooks, but the plastic is thick enough that there is no give at all. Don't expect it to be a problem with such a light set up. I've had other more expensive bags with much worse craftsmanship.
And I just looked it up, says the bag comes with a 25 year limited warranty. They seem to have some confidence in their product.
Oh thats what I was looking for! The price at the time of this writing has dropped to 13.87! Im grabbing one!
Edit: I grabbed this to get it up to Free Super Savers Shipping
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005LY52V2/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
Random, I know. but it will spice up the case.
Nice, gonna pick one up from amazon.ca
$18.99 in Canada so that's pretty good. Thanks for the post.
Got mine in. Its great! Not only does it carry my Tab but I can carry both its charger and my phone charger in it, my phone and a thumbdrive or two. Mine didnt come with a shoulder for some reason. Great craftsmanship too! It loosk like it should have enough room to spare when I get the gumdrop case later this summer.
i might grab one of these, just got my TF300 yesterday and im just starting to investigate all the essentials.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T
Here's the one I've been using:
http://www.amazon.com/Targus-CityGe...726W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1338300267&sr=8-1
A little more expensive, but works well. I bought it for an old netbbok, but started using it again when I got the TF300. Plenty of room and plenty of pockets without being too big. Also, you can find them at Walmart and Best Buy if you're impatient and don't want to wait for the mailman to arrive.
My God!
Look at the same bag but from Amazon Spain:

I've just ordered this hard case bag from Amazon UK
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005Q977II/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
I can't post links or images yet , but if you look on amazon for "Targus CVR211" (It's black and gray) that's the one I use. I got it for $12 at Office Depot.
The front pocket has an organizer where I can hang pens and my stylus (Targus AMM0103US). I have my earbuds hooked up on a winder (Nite-Ize Curvyman Cord Supervisor) which is hooked onto the key ring. I keep the screen chamois/cloth stuffed in the pocket. There's plenty of room for the power adapter, and an SD card case, and my phone.
I bought my tablet Z with a couple of docking stands for around the house but I didn't buy the case as I couldn't find anywhere on how well the two could work together.
I can't see how the tablet could be docked with the case on but has anyone got both and had a play, is it a fiddle?
I generally don't use cases, as I prefer the dock options but my previous tablet, the HP Touchpad you could do both if you so wished and as I've spent a boat load more than the £99 for the Touchpad I'm feeling I should get used to a case.
I'd spend the rather hefty cost for the case if they worked together nicely or I'll just buy a cheapy for when I'm travelling.
Thanks, Manic.

The bottom part of the official case flips out, so it looks like most other cases will not fit. Frameless cases have a better chance of working.

Most of the carrying cases that are built by the company have a very smooth surface and texture thereby giving an exceptionally elegant look.
That one, are one of those elegant case.:good:
