Just picked up one of these cases. Based on the pictures and youtube review, it looked absolutely solid. Doesn't look to have the thin wobbly pleather, just a nice solid & durable feel on it.
Here is the Youtube review by someone.

I'm hoping to do a full review on it when it comes in.
I got this and screen protector before price increase. Screen protectors are pretty good case will be in today. Both for 26.72 and fulfilled by amazon.

Here's the Amazon Link. Price has gone up from $24 to $39. 20% off if bought w/ screen protector still good.
Hmm, i like my casecrown but this one looks like its a snugger fit, I like how a bit of the bezel is exposed, since I use that quickkey function in the browser.
The only downside is the two layers on the back. Seems to make it thicker than needed. Do like how snug it is though.
I ordered this case, waiting for it now

The EZ case is not the same as the case from OP.

Thanks OP! In for 1
Thanks OP
Thanks so much for posting this. Mine arrived yesterday and I freaking LOVE it!!!
Love my acase also
does it work very well with the dock? in terms of closing too.
thanks
An Amazon review stated this covers up the speakers, does anyone know if this is true and if so is there a workaround that is not to design invasive? Other than that and being a bit bulky looking, this case looks sweet.
Nope, that Guy is an idiot. Its a fantastic case, gives you full access to all buttons, ports & speakers.
The leather has a nice, super high quality feel to it. I feel like I could actually drop it from waist high and it would be perfectly safe.
The rubber feel to the case interior is perfect, it grips like nothing else. Being able to prop it up at any angle without trying to find that "notch" is extremely fast and convienent.
Personally, I love it.
Best case ever!

So I found this case on ebay today
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270755536959
Its $11.95 plus $15.00 for shipping coming from China.
I normally do not order from new sellers but I have a $10.00 credit on
paypal and in the listing they say
Note:we will offer gift for you (a stylus for the 10" Asus EeePad
Transformer TF101 Tablet PC.)
So that only put my total to $16.95 so I figured what the heck,
I might get a free stylus that works and most of those cost at least
$8.00 or more so I placed the order today June 1st 2011 @1pm
and I will track the progress and update daily here on the forums
and at the end I will give a Video Review of the case on my Tablet!!
Just so you know, it says it's PU, not real leather. Just FYI.
Looking at the pics in the link you posted, i have ordered the same one as you, just from a different seller - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260790671114
I purchased mine on Friday 27th.

Cool, yeah I read it I just copied the listing name into my topic name.
Wikipedia said:
Bicast leather (also known as bycast leather, split leather or PU. leather) is a split leather with a layer of polyurethane applied to the surface and then embossed. Bycast was originally made for the shoe industry for glossy shoes, and recently was adopted by the furniture industry. The resulting product has an artificially consistent texture that is easier to clean and maintain.

Dang...I bought mine from a different seller for 28 bux a pop. 12 bux is DEFINITELY more reasonable a price to pay!
[EDIT]
Oh wait, I just noticed it isn't including shipping so it's actually about the same price. Phew...
[/EDIT]
Thanks!

I'm Getting Excited!
I can't wait to review this when it comes in!
I bought a TF101 about a month ago, been itching to get a dock since then. Sadly stock has been scarce. The upside is that finally a couple of retailers have dropped the price on the dock here in Canada ($150 seemed expensive IMHO). For fellow TF Owners here in Canada I've seen the dock as low as $114 or a combined TF101 (16GB) and Dock for $499 (thesource email blast this morning). Anyone else looking for a dock at a good price I'd suggest bestdirect.ca or comtec.ca
Finally picked one up from BestDirect. Orderded July 11, 2011 22:00 delivered July 13, 2011 10:20 total price including taxes (free shipping) was $129.27 Canadian WOOHOO. Although this online retailer is located in BC they shipped it from Markham Ontario (perhaps because I am in Ontario). I'd highly suggest anyone in Canada looking for the dock save some time and money and check them out
Picked up a 16GB+keyboard dock for $499-$50 coupons = $450 from Staples.ca .... that's probably as good as it gets right now
it gets better
staples.ca does price matching. Go into the store with a printout of the amazon.ca deal where you get the 32GB+dock for 599 and they will price match (they gave me no trouble anyway)... so the dock ends up being 100 canadian.
****.. that's crazy cheap. x_X
Surroundedbytrees - was the dock you received from BestDirect a B50 or B60?
It's a B60 is that good/bad/ugly?

Does it matter? As long as it works.
As I said in the title amazon said the minisuit case for tablet and dock is in stock will arrive Tuesday. I will give a review once I have it in hand. Has anyone else ordered and gotten it yet?

I just ordered for delivery to the UK.
Got 25% off with code " PREODRMS "
Not bad at all came to £20.29 including standard delivery
When posting tips and information, would it be good to share a link?
Isn't so hard to just copy/paste.

Thanks for the promotional code. Almost didn't notice it. ~$25 in US.
My Minisuit Dock/tablet case has shipped and I should be getting it on Monday. I used the 25% off code as well as my $10 amazon gift code (from my originally canceled Asus Transformer Prime order). I paid for expedited shipping and paid a total of $19.41 for the case.

Not available anymore. Not until Jan 31st.
I looked at at it the morning and it said it was unknown if and when they would get more. I was scared mine wasn't going to ship. But it still says it will be here tomorrow.
I received mine today. Can't say how well it fits with the tablet as I don't have the tablet yet (just being prepared). I do like the case itself though. The leather has a nice feel to it and it doesn't seem like it will add much weight to the tablet. Comes in a nice box and was packaged in one of those plastic envelopes with bubble wrap.
Received mine today and it seems to fit both the Prime and dock fine. It has all the right open slots for the various connections needed. And it does not add to much extra weight to the total package.
got mine today too! i really like it. I'll be updating with a horrible unboxing video.
well made decent leather. really nice insides that are super nice feeling like a microfiberish suede.
i got mine today also. I like the case and it seems well made. The only thing I'm not crazy over is how much bulk the case adds to the tablet and dock combo. I guess there is really no way around that though considering how much protection it offers. The only other thing is that there are no holes cut out for the speakers in the case. The sound doesn't really seem to be impacted much by it though.
woohoo! I'm happy to hear that most like theirs. I ordered mine and it will get here near the end of next week.
I already have a non-specific case that holds both the prime and dock, so I'm prepared for it to add bulk. Heck even putting it in a light neoprene sleeve adds bulk. I guess these are so thin and light together that the little added protection of anything more than a very thin sleeve....seems like a lot
I also ordered the $14 minisuit "rotating" portfolio for just the tablet. I like that it provides for viewing angels AND coverage for the tablet if I want to remove it and hold it freely.
@ NYC Midtown, accessories were buy 2 get 1 free (cheapest one free)
Amaze 4G is discontinued, so their D30 case (bumper plus clear plastic back) was only $15(discounted from $25), $16 for the 2x screen protectors(regular price)
not too bad if you want instant gratification vs amazon prime
