Smart Cover type case? - Eee Pad Transformer Accessories

Coming from an iPad2, the only thing i miss was my smart cover. Allowed protection without adding bulk.
I know it wouldnt work quite the same but I saw something similar for a Galaxy tab. It has a thin (metal/plastic?) backplate to hold the front piece. Perhaps it could be magnetic where the two ends meet to keep it closed.
Anything like this already available?

The closest there is right now is the Asus case, its a sleeve with a standing back but its the thinnest I've seen.

Sikai case ordered from eBay. Like original iPad cover but with some smart cover like foldin fir different viewing angles.

+1 for this. I m hoping that something like this comes out soon too!!!!

They should just make something with a hard back and 4 little lips that go over the corners with a hinge on one side for the flap with magnets.
Seems very easy to make.

Cheers for that, just what I've been looking for. Ordered one.

Reports that the Sikai magnets screw with the digital compass used for google maps and such.
Kinda iffy now. I also don't want black. I'd like white or some bright color.

difficult to developing a smart cover case for TF101.

Couldn't the Samsung one fit the TF? Aren't they the same size?

Right now I have a casecrown portfolio case, but I would like to see something like a smartcover (rather Samsung's version of smart cover where you have all round protection including the back.
For those who haven't seen the samsung's smartcover ripoff, here it is:

No they are not, all android tablets out there have different sizes. Screen size doesn't matter much when you are looking for a case with a perfect fit.

$15 Caselogic VNA210 10.2-Inch Netbook/iPad Attache (Black)

i decided to purchase this for my transformer and i just got the case today. the price to me was pretty good, the quality of this carrying case or bag is great. i am not sure how many people just went for the tablet itself or intend to purchase it along with the docking keyboard. I plan on getting my tablet with the docking keyboard and from the looks of it right now, there should be enough room to fit them both inside this case nicely. i fit my tablet in there and there is still room to spare. there is also separate zipper compartment for other small accessories. flash drives, charging cables... etc. everything should fit fine. they also have a brown one available but that cost a few bucks extra, it might even match up with the transformer well. but i went for the black to save a few bucks and you can't really go wrong with black. while this is a bit thicker than just a plan sleeve, i feel it doesn't really show in this case. it looks slim for all the room it has. there are handles to make it easy to carry and even an additional/optional body strap included. i am sure this may not be for everyone but if it helps a few people, that would be great.

Glad to hear you like it. I plan to use it with the keyboard, so I'm looking forward to this case.
i bought the same one!
@OP
Thanks for sharing your experience with this product. I just ordered a brown one off Amazon; looks to me like it matches the brownish color hue of the Transformer & dock very well. I went for both so something that could cary and protect my investment safely.

Down to $13.22!
For the black version that is.
Could someone please confirm it that a TF101 with dock will fit this bag? As none of the posters had the dock or case to check it for real.

What is the "magnetic sleep/wake function"?

No idea. Maybe it somehow puts your screen to sleep if you close the cover?
idk, i have one that's almost identical, different brand though..a red one..i got it for 20, but i wish i had this type because mine's not as stiff, so it kinda falls back when i have it standing up. my boss has one that looks more like this, and his is more stiff so it stands up better.
either way, it ships from china, so it takes like 2 weeks to get apparently lol
"Standard (18-26 business days)"
two day shippiung is 44 dollars hahaha and expedited is the same.
the only problem of this type case is it doesn't protect the pen. Better to find a case with pen holder inside the case. My pen is broken with this case.

You put a Flyer in this case in your pocket? You must have some big pockets. This is a large case. Very good for utility but not for someone who wants to jam it into a pocket. There honestly is no case which will also hold the pen that will fit in a normal sized pocket.

Folio Case Comparison

was wondering if anybody had opinions on the different brands of cases that are out there.
Id really love the marware CEO Hybrid case, but it does not seem like they are going to make them for the Prime.
I found this case by HandHeldItems that has the similar 'carbon fiber' feel to it.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007FL8D10/
anybody know the quality of this compared to the marware??
then there the typical 'leather' folio cases that are made by several brands. here is the blurex
http://www.amazon.com/transformer-PRIME-Leather-Multi-Angle-Blurex/dp/B006VX96GO
and the GreatShield
http://www.amazon.com/GreatShield-Multi-Stand-Protective-Transformer-10-1-Inch/dp/B006RML5ZO
out of all the brands out there, is any brand(s) better than the others??
rooCASE Executive Portfolio
As far as comparing brands, I'm not sure. I did just purchase this one however.
amazon.com/rooCASE-Executive-Portfolio-Landscape-Transformer/dp/B005XOPE2M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1337986248&sr=8-1
It's currently being shipped and I'll give an update on my experience when I receive it.
I really like the Sikai Microfiber case.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sikai-ASUS-...612012?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item27c6a7d3ac
It is super-thin, light weight and makes the Prime very comfortable to hold.

both of those cases are not the 'clip' type cases and have material across the bezel.
I already have a case like that, which I'll gladly give to anybody that can help me.
the brand I have is the Moko. quality is decent by kind of crappy.

The Sikai microfiber case is made of a better material than the Moko case, its construction is better as well. At first I was hesitant of getting a case that covered the bezel, but because the material of the Sikai case feels so nice it really does make the tablet 100% more comfortable to hold.
Sikai also makes a "clip" style of case, but it has a similar fake leather to the Moko case and the clip portions are brown which neither match the Prime nor the black leather the rest of the case is made from. Its not to my taste but you may like it.

Pierre Cardin GS7 Leather Case Review!

So I got two new cases in today, and one is the Pierre Cardin brown leather case! I recently purchased a leather one for my Note 4 and one for my mom's Note 5, and honestly, I love these cases. The real leather feel is so cool, and it's nice and soft when you place the phone down. I have a TSCASE leather case as well, and I can say that this one might just offer a tad more protection on the corners, and is a tiny bit beefier than the TSCASE so that it feels a bit more substantial and curved. The feel in the hand is awesome.
The packaging is nice from the company:

All buttons are easily accessible, and honestly, compared to the TSCASE leather one, the power button feels better on this because of how the cutout is:
Can easily access the heart rate scanner:
I love the look of the stitching on the back:
All ports accessible:
Overall, looks awesome and feels awesome
This case is definitely worth it if you're like me and you're bored with basic TPU type cases. I love leather cases on these phones; it just gives it a different feel. They have a bunch of colors, but I decided to just stick with ol tried and true brown leather...plus, it matches my moto 360 2015 watch band! i personally haven't had any cons with their cases, but one member claimed that on the note 4 case, when it got so hot from setting his phone up, the inside piece of felt or lining came apart from the leather. i've yet to seen this, as i've done the setup on my note 4 as well, but who knows if that's an issue. he may just have gotten a faulty case; i haven't had a problem with my note 4 or note 5 case, and my s7 case is still doing great.
bought it off amazon, and they do prime shipping as well. totally worth it if you want a high quality leather case

Best Leather Holsters for S8+

Being a holster user, and not someone who keeps my phone in a pocket, (work!)
each time I get a new phone I immediately purchase a PDair leather holster.
They are the lowest profile holster you can find.
Most holster use a big bulky plastic clip. Not these.
They come in 5 or 6 different colors.
I did a little comparisons of phone sizes on a few websites, and figured out the iPhone 7+ case works the best.
If you use the coupon code pdair at checkout, you can get it for $37.79 shipped.
Just received the case after about 2 weeks (from China).
Absolutely perfect.
High quality genuine leather, not some fake stuff.
The inside is coated in a soft foam, so works great with or without tempered screen protector.
There's a bottom cutout for speaker, charger, and headphone jack.
The bottom 2 pictures were taken with an iPhone, which is why they look worse. =)

I want something like that but without the clip, just like a sleeve I can put it in for when I chuck the phone in a bag, not found anything yet (in UK anwyay). Dont want some big expensive thing, just a basic sleeve I can put it in to keep it clean from dust and dirt in the bag and give some small protection to it.
Check out nutshell cases from New Zealand.

Easily the best and also the best looking.
