RooCase Slim-fit Vs. Ultra slim - Eee Pad Transformer Accessories

Does anyone know which one of these cases is actually slimmer? Or the better case of the two?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk

Ultra slim is thinner - check specs on Amazon.
I've got ultra slim - pretty basic but does what i need it to. Basic protection for chucking in a bag etc and good as a stand. I think more stand options with slim-fit.

You're probably right, but they actually give two thickness measurements on amazon. The manufacturer number for the ultra slim is .45 inches, while amazon says .6. Also, none of these measurements could be including the eee pad (probably duh), so it's hard to say which would be thinner functionally. To me it seems like the slim fit would be thinner because the tablet isn't covered by leather; it just clips in. This also might explain the larger specification, since the "clips" wouldn't lie flat or compress, making the given dimension likely closer to one in use (hope I explained that properly). I bet they're probably very close though, both with minimal clearance above the screen when closed. Just thought I'd voice my observations.. I went with the ultra slim because I thought it might look a tad nicer. Also I had my doubts about the clipping mechanism, though they were largely unfounded (a few reviewers had troubles).

Rugged/Otterbox type case?

Anyone seen/heard of a rubberized/rugged case for the prime? I'm thinking something like the Otterbox Commuter or Defender series...
Nothing yet. Otterbox told me no. Here's hoping for a ballistic case or gum drop like the first transformer had. I don't care if it's thick and heavy, I want it well protected.

Why would you want a case so thick for such a thin device lmao you wouldn't enjoy the device for what it is

I sure hope you're trolling. The 'case so thick' adds extra protection. I am also looking for a case like this, hopefully someone will release an extra rugged one!
Some of us don't have little girl hands and actually want a bit of thickness. I don't get this make everything thin crap. Why not make something that can survive a drop. A well protected $500 is better than a razor thin $500 device.

No I'm serious those otterbox cases are how much?
60 bucks for tablet sized? Throw on a screen protector for 15 bucks and bam you get the price of a 1-2 year accidental warranty from square trade lol!
Just saying! And dropping a tablet is pretty hard a phone I see dropping Alot!
Anyways I have my naked evo and I drop it Atleast twice a day for the past year! Nothing bad has happened! Even left it on top of a car and drove off.. Yeah it scrapped the paint but who cares!

You do know that square trade and the lot only really cover with actual breaking of the device right? If the screen glass is cracked but the unit is still fully functional, they don't cover fixing the glass. It's in their terms and conditions.
Also, does anyone know if cases for original TF works with Prime? For example, if I were to get the gum drop's original TF case, will it fit into the prime? I know the dimensions are similar but not the same and I was wondering.

Dude, with that logic, who would drop a phone? A phone can be wrapped completely within two hands. A tablet is bigger, can be gripped far less efficiently, and has a much bigger glass area that can be damaged. Clearly, you aren't the type to use an actual case. Just a cover. As for those of us who want that protection, whether we need it or not, Otterboxes are excellent cases.

Unfortunately, no. The camera has flash(TF101 didn't, so no space is made), it's thinner, and less wide. So altogether, it would just flop about inside the case. Real shame though, I would like to see it on the Prime. Hopefully they'll make one, seeing as the Prime is selling pretty well.
They cover water damage.... just dunk it...LOL
I have an otterbox for my Razr Maxx, but I only use it when I go play volleyball at the beach don't think I need something like that for the TFP, but I could see how some would like it.
How about this one?
http://www.gumdropcases.com/asus-prime.html $60 but it looks strong.
Anyone own the gumdrop case yet? Or maybe a link to a review?
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk 2
I quite literally just opened it (gumdrop case) and put it on my prime! Any questions in particular?
General thoughts -- relatively sturdy case, though not nearly as robust as the gumdrop case for iPad 2, it makes a nice snug fit and 2 minutes in there are no glaring problems. Additionally, the rubber/silicon shell seems nice and thick at the corners, but thin and pliable (in a good way) at the ports so that they are easily accessible and the port covers will not place undue stress on the things plugged in. It may be obvious, but this case is not dockable. Though all the cameras are nicely cut around, it looks as though the light sensor may be slightly covered by the case, though this is hard to see. The way the mic cutouts are angled, it appears that they might be slightly less effective because they both face the rear of the device, rather than an edge, but I have not tested this yet. The case feels good in the hand and adds a nice grip.
Hope that helps!

Can you post pictures? more importantly, is there a cover for the microSD card slot so I can actually use it without cards flying out? Thanks for the first thoughts!

Quick answer -- all ports have great covers. They pull back nicely and stuffs within is easily accessible.

Thanks! One last question, is the built in screen protector anti-glare or anti-fingerprint?
Can you put the case on WITHOUT the plastic "screen protector"?
Modded by MBOK
The screen shield is removable but it is not anti-glare/anti-fingerprint.
By the by, I have an anti-glare/anti-fingerprint under the integrated screen shield (fits no problem) but I did notice that taking off the case is quite difficult (like it may scratch the tablet, as in left a mark on mine that I could wipe away but was disconcerting).

Case/Skin "A la" Ipad (1) ??

Any body have an idea if this kind of sleeve can be found for the TF201 ???
Had the original Ipad and this thing was perfect. Slim, bullit proof, and very easy to handle...

It definitely won't fit. I have the Prime and I have an iPad1 with this case. The Prime is less wide and longer than the iPad. They're completely different dimensions.
I too would love a case like this for the Prime. If anyone finds one, please share.
Seems like any sleeve style case for the 11" macbook airs will work though. Gonna go to the store this weekend and try some out.

Yep, most of these cases seem to be sufficient to protect against a nuclear blast. I just want something convenient (ie. not a sleeve) that will give basic protection against scratches when it's in my bag.
Has anyone tried Asus' official sleeve that they made for the original Transformer on the Prime? It looks very similar to the official ipad 1 sleeve.

Wish they made one that held a bluetooth keyboard so It would open up like a the dock.

While I still want something made of the iPad 1 case's thin material that "hugs" the tablet, this one does appear to be a little thinner than other leather cases I've seen.
I found the original Asus case, just like the Ipad 1 case that is very thin that someone is talkiing about above. Since it is somewhat "strechy" for lack of a better word, and they are cm's apart in size (a little taller, thinner, and not as
long), and its a tight fit on the tf101, I'm hoping it will work.
I also want something thin, there is no use to buy the thinnest tablet (or phone) out there and put a "case" on it that is huge. I want protection, not drop proof.
I get mine in 2 days and will report back if this and wifi works!!

I looked back, I got the one in the first post, I don't want the bezel covered, my hand resting on something, thick, etc. So I'm really hoping that one fits.

I found this case while shopping in Target. It fits the Prime and the Keyboard dock very well. The Prime is a little snug on the one side but the keyboard dock fits like it was made for it on the other. I also like it because of the the 2 additional zippered pockets for stuff. I'll post a couple pics after dinner.
I paid 24.95 at the Target store near me but can't find it online for less than the 31.99 Amazon is charging. Walmart was 39.99 on line.
Edit: Those pics show it pretty good. Where they show the tablet sticking out, there's plenty of room in front of it that's divided by a fairly thick padded liner. It just fits the tablet and the dock really good and doesn't slide around.

Lets put it this way. You still use condoms with the old lady ? I want it condom thick. Covering both back and front, LIKE THE IPAD1.

iGadgitz Black EVA Travel Hard Case Cover Sleeve

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B005HI4FPG
does anyone have this case? from what I can tell, the tab goes one side, the keyboard dock the other and it's a hard shell carry case.
however, nowhere to put your cables.
does anyone know of a similar case to this but with an pouch as well for cables? I know it's a TF101 case, b ut considering the prime is a small item it will fit this case easy.
I am looking at this case as well as I read about the reviews on the office transleeve having all the problems with the tablet and the lack of availability online. From the pictures on amazon it seems that its quite thin to carry around. I read a review somewhere maybe from it official website saying that this can carry a dock with the transformer so i assume this is okay.
i have this case! it fits very well and you dont even have to take the prime out of the dock. also, it is a hard case, so it protects much better against falls etc.
on amazon germany it was available immediately

Thanks for the info! just a quick question, since the tablet is very thin and so once you put the prime into the case does it get really fat or huge to hold with one hand?

of course its thicker, its not a neoprene sleeve. but thats why it protects well and you can still easily carry it with one hand! i really like it. didnt expect much for the price and was pleasantly surprised!
i also ordered a 10'' netbook case from case logic to compare, but the prime has too much room in it and its more of a thin neoprene, so its just scratch-protection...
I bought this hard case:
eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace
Internal dimensions now that I have it in my hand are:
Case: 26.8cm x 19.1cm x 3-4cm
Prime: 26.3cm x 18.1cm x 2cm
As you can see, it's a pretty close fit in theory. Have to wait 5 days before I get my Prime to confirm it's a good fit.
Alternatives to consider
Hey guys,
just like everyone else, looking for a proper case for my prime
since eventually (in the near future) I plan on getting the Dock, i'm looking for a case/sleeve
- looked at all the cased and couldn't find one I liked
- Finally found a case, but haven't had a chance to try it yet
it's the HP VX403AA / VX404AA it's a mini neoprene sleeve for the HP Mini netbook
- price is 32$ as low as I could find it. pricey but nice
- Has 2 smaller pockets on one side and a big one on the other side
- Plenty of storage to keep the charging cable/charger/micro USB with the tablet wherever you go.
- I'll let you know how it fits as soon as I try it, you can find it in local BestBuy's so if any1 is interested in trying it out before I get to it, by all means post your results.
Thank you,
Rodi

I have recently purchased the envelope neoprene case by built. They sell several different versions but I bought the 9-10" net book version and the transformer prime with dock attached fits like they were made for each other. It also has a front pocket for your charge cables and charger.

This is a great case, my prime and dock lives in it when I'm not using it. It fits snug and feels well protected. There is a mesh Pocket inside which I justuse to keep the screen cloth, but you could easily fit a USB cable in.

Noreve St Tropez Leather Case

I got my case yesterday. The most I have ever paid for a case, by a long way, and had to wait weeks because I chose the distressed leather finish but I have to say this is a work of art! Amazing looks, fits perfectly, adds minimal bulk to the Prime and makes me love my Prime again (and forget all its other faults).
One of those rare occasions when spending top dollar is actually value for money.

That is a pretty sharp looking case, but with prices starting at $105 I would wanna make sure it works with the TF Infinity (my next tablet purchase) before I go and spend that much money on a case.
Here are some photos of mine, taken with my cell phone.
It is an exceptional case, makes carrying the Prime around a pleasure, simply because the case is so damn thin, and feels so soft!
It is hard to bite the bullet on the price (mine was, I believe, $85, plus shipping, and you can find discount coupons, if you search the net to bring it down more)
Shipping is somewhat expensive, somewhere around $15, but on the bright side, I ordered mine on Sunday, and it arrived to Los Angeles by Weds. (I can be very patient, as long as I don't have to wait!)
The case has very soft, leather type material on the inside, so it doesn't put dust and dirt on the screen every time I close it, which is one big complaint I had with my Blurex case.
It also has precise openings for every port, yet provides excellent protection for the edges of the Prime. Only opening not accessable is the charger port. You need to charge it with the case open. You don't need to remove the case to charge the device, but it does have to be open.
It really gives the Prime a very elegant look, the leather reminds me of leather used on very high end briefcases or luxury cars, and the clasps work great, easy to open, easy to close, and it feels totally secure when closed.
Certainly not for everyone, but if you can afford it, and want an elegant solution to protection, this is certainly worth a look!
nice
I ordered mine few days ago ... I hope it will arrive soon. I choose the basic one to avoid to long wait
I love the noreve case.
I already got for my archos device and my smartphones.

I just received my noreve case.
Regarding the keyborad, first of all you have to know that there are 2 cases. One for the tablet only and one for both
I bought the one for the tablet only.
But you can still connect the dock and it will look like this :
I just got mine yesterday after waiting 20 days (and 7 days for UPS to deliver) and I am disappointed. Not sure if I should be, but I have sent them a mail about it.
The quality is very nice, but mine came with tons of "scratches/Scruff marks" all over the case, which makes it look like I bought it second-hand from someone who have used it extensively.
Also I ordered mine in Passion Vintage, which on the site looks like a deep red/burgundy color. Mine looks faded and like someone left it out in the sun for a month.

Back of the case:
Color comparison to the color shown on their website:
Maybe I just had higher hopes .. but after paying so much and waiting so long for the case, I am disappointed. But we will see what Noreve replies back to me (if anything).

I'm curious if you ever contacted Noreve, and if so, what their response was?
Your case definitely looks like it's been well used, not like it is brand new. I'm not sure if that's what the "look" is supposed to be, but I can understand your disappointment!
I hope they work with you to make sure you're satisfied, because the case is, as you said, excellent quality, and it's been a pleasure for me to use, for the past two weeks.
All the vintage leather cases are supposed to be distressed leather, meaning scratches and scuffs, so to me that would be expected. The color does look different what what is on the website, but personally I think it the case looks great! If the case wasn't so expensive and the wait time so long, I'd take that one off your hands.

That is the response I got from them too. My issue with that is that it is nowhere stated, that this would be the case, and all their own pics, the leather is in pristine condition (and the color is different).
So when I look at the site and order a case in a certain color and material, I sort of expect that it will look like it does on the site.
If I can't trust their pictures, then I am almost bound to be disappointed once I get the product, as it doesn't look like the presentation.
I just think the color is too faded, and had I know this, I would have gone with the black one, which I think would look better in a faded color.
There is nothing in the quality of the case that I can complain about ... it is lovely, and in fact it has 4 angles, not 3, as the two prongs that closes the case are very hard, and can be used to support the tablet at a better angle for writing
Also, you can use it in portrait mode, as the front cover, folds all the way back (there was a question about this in another thread).
And it is possible to put the tablet in the dock, without completely removing the case (if you need to recharge the battery off the dock, or just want to use the keyboard for a bit).

I have the same finish on mine and I too was a little apprehensive as the scuff marks started to mount but it gets to a point where it starts looking like vintage leather which is what I wanted. Think of it as something that will improve with age, which is very rare with gadgets!

Well I did complain about the lack of "real life" pictures of the materials on their web site, as that was the biggest disappointment. Seeing that my case's color (and condition) didn't match what I used to make the decision with.
Showing a different color and (apparently) different leather type, when I click on the link to see the Vintage Passion case, is just not good enough.
But as it turns out, they have agreed to exchange my case to another type of my choice at no extra cost (except for shipping it to France), which I think is very nice of them.
So now I need to decide if I should go for the black or brown cases, which I think will look better in a faded color.
As requested, pictures of the case after a few weeks.

I have tried a Belkin sleeve previously but that was too small for my tf201 and all the other recommendations have been for netbooks IE the tablet with the dock which I don't want as I don't carry the dock around with me all the time and the tablet itself is lose in the sleeve without the dock again..not wanted
so any suggestions ?
Cheers
This is what I have been using since I got my prime months ago, lot of space for stuff, fits even with a case on(roocase leather folio case) still feels and looks brand-new. I got mine for 10$

does the prime not flap around inside ?
Hmm not really, it does slightly when it is the only thing in there but for the most part it's a pretty tight fit but the material can stretch to accommodate more items

I got one i bought from Blacks, no link but its just the right size. Generally, look for cases for netbooks. Most netbooks are about the same size as the prime. Also check cell phone stores, smaller electronics shops, more of the less mainstream areas. Theres a kiosk in my mall buy sells only tablet stuff. Check out places like this, and ebay. you can find lots of good deals on ebay just make sure "buyer beware", know what your buying
Happy hunting!

I have this sleeve as well and it works perfectly for the Prime.
Since you are looking for a sleeve, Thinkgeek offers this one which should fit the Prime as well based on the size of the sleeve:
