Just received this case,
http://www.caselogic.com/10_2_ipad_...l/index.cfm?modelid=154701&productid=10030361
Fits perfectly, the inside opening is a little thick, made for a 1.5" netbook but I added a couple layers of foam and the G Tab fits like a glove. Just about the perfect case and it's on sale.
It looks like a lunch bag.
I picked this up for my Acer 1. While I am waiting for my Malata M1 to arrive I have used it for my G-tablet and it is surprisingly perfect. It holds my tablet, charger, cleaning cloth and stylus very comfortably. Plus, it has a very professional look and feel.
Targus CityGear NetBook Case
After messing with a couple of bags, I ended up buying this one. It fits the gTab perfectly in the padded sleeve even with it inside of my sweet CaseCrown case and has room for my little Gear Head keyboard with multi-touch touchpad as well as the dock, and my foldable Arkon stand, the spare power adapter, and other odds and ends in the little compartments it has. It's fairly cheap too. My only negative on this bag is that the shoulder strap is not removeable.
The Encase neoprene sleeve for 10" netbooks really fits my GTab like a glove. It is kind of snug lengthwise and there is maybe 0.5" of extra space widthwise, but it comes very close to fitting the dimensions of the GTab. Unlike a lot of neoprene sleeves made for iPads or netbooks, this sleeve is more "rectangular" shaped instead of being more "square", which is good because the GTab is more rectangular than an iPad. Here a link to Amazon, but these are also on eBay.

I like that this one fits exactly L x W with no movement, it's thicker and leaves room for adding a little more padding or slipping in a slimline keyboard, there's also a zippered pocket that will hold the power adapter and stand without a problem.
The strap isn't detachable but can be used from the top, side or un-fasten a couple of Velcro straps and it becomes a shoulder strap.
The case is more rigid than the neoprene ones I found at OD, more along the lines of a laptop case.
Also couldn't pass up the price

That is a nice case. I may pick one up at that price for times when I'm going somewhere with just the GTab. I like the neoprene Encase sleeve I posted above for times when I'm putting the GTab into my bag and want just a little extra protection to prevent scratching my GTab.
Hey, I was wondering if anyone has bought the G-Form case and have seen if it fits or not for the transformer prime? I would love to get some feedback on anyone who has!!
I would love it to fit this
http://g-form.com/product/extreme-portfolio/
If that doesn't fit, then I assume this would work, right?
http://g-form.com/product/extreme-sleeve-for-laptops/
thanks so much for your guys help!!
I had ordered the iPad 2 extreme sleeve from G-Form before I go the tablet in. Well got my Prime and dock in, and they both fit. Yes, the iPad 2 case is a tight fit, but since the zippers are also lined on the interior, there is no scratching; like I said it just barley fits, but it still does zip close for a nice snug fit.
http://g-form.com/product/ipad-extreme-sleeve2/
I went ahead a ordered a 11" laptop sleeve from them today as well, as I have also ordered a fitted leather folding case off of Amazon, and the increased dimensions are going to make it to big for the iPad 2 extreme G-form sleeve.
I watched the video on youtube about the extreme portfolio, in which they are using a Samsung 10.1 galaxy tab, instead of a ipad, and it worked just as well. They said the extreme portfolio should work on any 10" tablet... the only reason I didn't go with that, when I placed my second order today, was b/c you have to bend the edges down to attach plugs, usb, etc.
Here's the youtube video:
All in all these are great products that will protect the hell out of your expensive new toy.

This was a great reply. THANKS!! I would love to get the Extreme Edge case for the prime, but I can't imagine what would happen if I dropped this thing on a rocky floor on the front portion of the tablet :O Can you update me how the tablet fits in the laptop case? I'd feel better having more room on the case. Is the portfolio case that you were talking about that case that can also be zipped up so the front can also be covered? that would be amazing for me!
HP WV594AA 10.2" neoprene sleeve originally for an HP Mini
Just picked up one of these today off the shelf at Best Buy and it fits my Transformer Prime + keyboard dock like a dream. Snug but not overly tight. The front pouch is also nice to carry extra tidbits. I like to store the tablet attached to the dock but some of the other sleeves were a little too tight. This one is perfect and the zipper closes smoothly without too much extra wiggle room.
Amazon link will be added soon when I am able to post outside links per XDA rules.
Just thought I would let everyone know in case they need a relatively cheap high-quality sleeve.
I also picked this case up yesterday and as the OP states, it's a great little case for the prime/dock. Amazon link provided below and you save 9 dollars ordering from amazon than from picking it up at Best Buy. Of course... then there is shipping.

I've been using my 7" Acer one sleeve for mine.
It is a great sleeve for the TF201, but it stretches out and doesn't fit very well after a couple months of use.
Does anyone know of a good fitting sleeve that has a handle on it? I think the reason my HP sleeve has stretched is because I carry it around under my arm quite a bit.
BUILT makes a sleeve pouch that's called the envelope. It has a main pouch that fits the tablet and keyboard perfectly and also has a front pocket for your accessories. I've been using it for several months now and enjoy it. They also make a version with an over shoulder strap. Both are for sale on Amazon last I checked.
Edit. Its made from Hugh quality neoprene wet suit grade material. Quite stretchy!

I'm kinda liking this one because of the shoulder strap and the clear front. Since I wouldn't use it near water, I wish they had a similar one made from leather or neopreme.

I've been looking into getting a sleeve for my TFP + dock. I've narrowed it down to these two:
Case Logic PLS-9 Ultraportable Netbook Sleeve for 7-Inch to 10-Inch Netbooks
http://www.amazon.com/Case-Logic-PLS-9-Ultraportable-Netbooks/dp/B001F7HI02
and
Targus A7 Slipcase Designed to Protect 10.2-Inch Netbooks
http://www.amazon.com/Targus-Slipcase-Designed-10-2-Inch-TSS109US/dp/B002NU5O2O
From what I can tell the Targus seems a bit more rugged but the Case Logic has really stood the test of time with more users and has the outside pocket.
Can anyone attest to either of these or offer high praise for another?
Thanks.
ahh thank you so much. I've been looking for a good sleeve for my prime as well. I think I'll go with the Case Logic.
My problem with both of these is that they've got a zipper. I find that it's inevitable that I will scratch my TFP up too much if there is a zipper on the pouch.

I use the Targus A7 in conjunction with my Transleeve.
I have the Targus sleeve also. It is very padded, even around the zipper. I have used it for about two weeks and have noticed no scratching. It holds the docked prime snugly and zips securely.

I'm looking for something like USA Gear FlexSleeve Neo-Cushion Protective Cover Case Guard for ASUS Transformer Prime too. It's sold out right now.

That is the best one I've found where there's no zipper for the tablet pouch, but yeah...alas,...it's sold out.
I use the case logic one with prime and dock. I have it in my backpack with textbooks daily and it works great. I'm not necessarily careful with it either...
What is the thinnest folding case available
I am looking for a case for the 300 that is as thin as possible. I really only care about scratch protection, I don't expect it to protect from drops (not that most case will provide that protection anyways). I do need it to have a stand function to watch movies. Since this is already thicker than prime I want to minimize that as much as possible.
Even the cheapie vinyl thin case that came bundled with the Acer a500 at costco would be fine. It was very thin.
The case I have for my ipad2 is tapered at the edges to keep the profile as thin as possible instead of being just squared off at the side edges. In other words, it should wrap around the side edges like a glove.
i just ordered the MOKO slim fit case from amazon. I hope this caters to your needs. it's slim and tough enough to even withstand drops.

decent but not quite what I am looking for. The case you are talking about clips or hooks onto the tablet in about4 to 6 areas (4 corners plus maybe 2 additional top and bottom). It leaves alot of the edge exposed. On th eplus side it is usually a hard back case so decent protetion.
However, what I had in mind is a case that slips all around the edges of the tablet. Most cases are designed like this but except what I have in mind would be slimmer with the edges tapered to match the edge of the tablet but still wrapping the entire tablet (except at the ports). Hard to tell, but I think this case fits that description but it is for tf101 only:

Honestly? I am still waiting for something the like the shell+smartcover that my mom's Ipad has. That really is brilliant stuf.
For now I found this to be the thinnest sleeve/cover/whatever
Urbanflip series on HandiHeldItems
I have one and had to adjust the hole for the headphone jack.
But it works pretty good, is a lot thinner that some other case I bought and has a cut out for the charger.
But an Ipad-like smartcover .. to me that's the bomb

Wow, that's almost exactly what I'm looking for - just with the ability to use it with the dock! They have this one on their site that does just that:
HHI Keyboard Case with Slim Portfolio Stand Cover for Asus Transformer Pad TF300
I have a carbon fiber leather case for my Galaxy Tab 10.1 and won't buy another case unless it's the same material, it looks so slick and resists scratches and hides dirt like no other case. Since getting it, I've taken out the tablet probably 3 times!
Good find!

These are nice! To bad the carbon fiber one won't be out until June 18!
From my long awaited and totally worth it EVO LTE!
All 3 of these are pretty much the same and is the thinnest case out in the market:

I also found a similar case on Ebay but it looks slitghtly cheap. I wish it wasn't microsuede:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ASUS-Transf...?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item3cc88b0bbc
This case is also very thin but I can't find it anywhere outside of the wholesale site:
