Lightest Transformer Case? - Eee Pad Transformer Accessories

I bought the Blurex folio and my Transformer is now a brick. Is there anything else out there that's like that, but lighter?

While it isnt pretty and its overpriced there isnt anything that competes with the ASUS case/cover for thin/light. I guess unless there is something out there with the exact same design.
I ended up going from a leather folio to that just because its 1/4" thinner (and the implementation of the velcro makes it more stable in typing mode.

check the sikai case. Thinnest I ahve seen and the one i use

I use the AYL case, but the Asus case is waaaaay thinner and slightly lighter..

Sikai case is what I'm using. Thinnest I found available. Search ebay, pretty fast delivery (the one that's in US) ebay dot com/itm/Sikai-MibroFiber-protective-case-Asus-Eee-Pad-TF101-case-USPS-/200649784471?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2eb7a8bc97#ht_1485wt_1163

This. Though I'm considering putting a larger piece of velcro on (Mine seems to never line up properly and flips open all the time...) I just wish it were possible to connect the dock while the case is on for USB...

Cant help on the dock but for the velcro I havent had an issue but I did get a piece of wide tape and use it to hold the flap against the back of the TF. This keeps the TF tight against the "top" of the case. Its inelegant but it works really well (and doesnt matter since I never remove it from the case anymore).

Any opinions on this cheap case + KB on ebay?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250789197947#ht_3153wt_1139
Seems like a great price. Not sure if it fits the GTablet exactly, but turns out this guy is based like 5min from my house, so I can always return it to him if its not good.
Anyone have any opinions on this?
you could always "ask a question" to get the dimensions. I'd be afraid that it will stick out the sides
Almost definitely not actual leather (I hate deceptive descriptions) and there doesn't seem to be any visible way to actually ATTACH the tablet to the thing. Horrible picture details, and it is highly unlikely a single case could hold (well) a 7/8/10 inch tablet PC like the seller says.
I would pass on that one. Just go to electroniccrap.com or look for listings here for the ones MADE for the G-tablet.

There seem to be 2 clips on the bottom and 1 on the top to hold it. Most cases come with 1 (or 2 ) more clips on the side. Without this there is a chance of the tablet sliding out through the sides. Although once you have side tabs you have to be careful that they dont block the usb port.
Also you *have* to check the dimensions

I've had one of these before. They are really cheap looking and are not leather but a shiny slippery plastic. It is not recommended for use in a professional setting unless you enjoy people laughing at you. There is a thread in this accessories section that covers this case at length. Search for USB keyboard case.
Also, the tablet does not stay firmly in the case and will slip around a lot and may even fall out.
Avoid this case like a dirty diaper.

LOL, you and me have different priorities! I'm not buying this to wow people and I'm really not concerned about people laughing at me. I am concerned about the tablet not fitting tho. Either way, this case would only be for when I wanted a keyboard with me, which is not all the time (otherwise I'd stick to my netbook which is about the same size as the tab+keyboard case).
When I'm going on a trip, plane ride, camping, etc, and this will be the only thing I have access to when traveling light, I like the idea of a keyboard option. But that's another thing to carry, so I'd rather it be built into the case. But the rest of the time, a thinner classier case (like the Kindle DX ones) would be preferable to me, especially to sit and read in portrait orientation.

That's a really great find, and for $4 more than this ebay auction, you are vouching for the fit! Do you have any pictures of your G-tablet fitting into that case?

Dont have pics, but it fits (it is made for the gtablet),
Some info/pics are at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1015853
goodintentions had a video review for his, on that thread but the link does not seem to be working.
I need a keyboard rarely, when I am typing out a big email. It is functional for that purpose. Some minor cons as I see are
1. Even with tabs on 3 sides, it can slip out of the 4th side, so you have to hold it right. Am thinking of adding a Velcro strip on the 4th side.
2. The leather is suspect, and it stunk up my room for a few days after I opened it.
3. It adds quite some weight.
4. Have to reboot the gtablet after connecting the keyboard most times for it to work.
5. The keyboard connects to the big USB, the small USB is covered by the left tab. But I rarely use that when it is in the case.
But it is $25, the USB cable length is fine, and it does have a magnet for the USB cable !!!
I bought one of these cases off ebay, just waiting for it to arrive. I bought one "specifically" made for the gtablet, with the tabs not blocking the usb port. I know I could of had one for less, but would have had to mod the case to fully work with the gtablet. I was actually looking at the one OP posted to save a few bucks, but I didn't like the way the case was designed, with no tabs to hold the tablet in place on the sides.

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

It looks like there is a pocket on the inside of the cover.
I ordered this iGadgitz case. Hope to get it next week. I will post some pictures when I have it.
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.

Portfolio Style Case to fit Transformer + Dock?

Hey guys I have been searching for a long time now for a folio style case that will fit the transformer WHILE docked. Searching here found me nothing.
I have only EVER found two (on amazon) that fit exactly what i am looking for but they have had mixed reviews.
I was just wondering if anyone else has seen anything like or has any experience with the following cases:
This one has a removable section for the keyboard dock which clips on to the main tablet case (which has its own cover for when not using it with the dock)
http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Transformer-KeyBoard-Portfolio-MiniSuit/dp/B005JFIS50/ref=lh_ni_t
This one is a single piece built for use with the dock all the time.
http://www.amazon.com/Asus-Transformer-Keyboard-Docking-Black/dp/B005GR0YUI/ref=lh_ni_t
Thanks in advance guys.
I bought this one from amazon, and I love it.

Yes and no. without the keyboard in, there is nothing to keep it from sliding out the bottom, but you can hold it. I'll upload a pix when I get home from work showing it if you want. Kind of hard to explain.

Thats why i was leaning more towards the one with the removable part for the keyboard (the first one i linked to).
That way you can use it with and without the keyboard and still be fully covered.
personally i find all these cases aesthetically horrible, i really dont want huge triangular bits of leather on the keyboard corners and the leather around the screen it just makes what is a beautiful tablet look like something out of miami vice!
but maybe thats just me.
LOL i do agree with it taking away from the beauty of the tablet, but im not a fan of sleeves and need something that i can keep on it at all times or whenever i need it. There are so many nicer ones (i.e the official transformer folio, looks smiliar to the ones made for ipads), but they are made for the tablet alone and must be removed to dock it, which sucks.

Yeah, BULL3TPR00F, I'm in the same boat in terms of what I want.
I'm not sure if its possible though, you'd think at least Asus would have put something together that did the job otherwise (let alone all the custom makers).
I think that blurex looks like it might be the best of average solutions to the problem. One thing I am concerned with is are the clips gonna eventually loosen/break if I'm constantly switching the tab between the dock and case?
bob dylan, do you have an opinion on that?

i very much doubt the clips would break, i dont know what they are made out of but they are sturdy as hell, i cant bend them at all when i press on them or try and twist them( maybe some kind of metal skeleton underneath? dunno). this case is very well made indeed, the clips do not leave any mark on the tablet at all.
---------- Post added at 04:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:30 PM ----------
just to clarify, with the blurex case i dont ever take the case off when using the keyboard dock. the case is fine with the dock as the back of the case just folds up behind the tab when the dock is connected and the keyboard is being used flat on a surface.
the only draw back to this case is that it doesnt close fully when the keboard is attached, you can close the tablet and the dock the usual way you just cant close the case fully. so for me i dont have a scenario where i need to take the case off.
when i want the tablet on its own i just take off the dock
when i want the dock attached i attach it and fold the back of the case up behind the tablet
when i want both and i am out and about i take the dock off and put the cased tablet and dock in a neoprene sleeve.
I ordered the same Minisuit case you linked originally, with the removable dock part.
In theory I think this fits my use case best. I have a toddler, and also toss it in my computer bag, so I wanted it protected/always covered, if it is docked or not.
I do really like the case. Its seems OK quality for $30. Having the ability to undock it and carry around just the tablet is great. I found that I was carrying around both the dock and the tablet often because I was worried about something scratching the screen. So Now, I carry just the tablet around with me much of the time, with the folio case protecting the screen.
Typing with the dock/tablet sitting in my lap is much better with the case on. It makes the base less rounded, so it is less enclined to tilt forward in my lap. Plus the corners of the case raise my wrists up off the keyboard slightly, which makes it feel more comfortable.
The case seems to be a little fiddly though.
The hole for the camera on the back sometimes gets in the way of shots.
It sometimes the tablet doesn't want to connect to the dock without undoing the elastic bands that keep the cover secured to the dock. I've just started leaving those un-done, since even if it connects, it seems to limit the tilt angle. And the elastic strap sometimes covers the charging light on the dock. And that works mostly ok. The snaps on the back sometimes are hard to work as well.
Thanks for the detailed description, you mind uploading some pics from various angles and what you were mentioning about the straps and whatnot.
Thanks!

Before I bought it, I stumbled on this review. Check out the 5th image here (also a decent review, lots of pictures)
http://www.transformerforums.com/forum/asus-transformer-accessories/6182-minisuit-folio-case-review-tuff-luv-clone.html
You can see the elastic strap that keeps the underside of the case attached to the dock. Scroll a bit further down, and you can see the picture of the two attached together. The reviewer didn't seem to have any problems with the straps. I can make it work ok with them on, but it just seems to make docking a bit harder...and it definitely seems that they get pinched when reclining the screen back fully.
But they're not really needed. If you have the two pieces snapped together, the snaps hold the base piece in place. Really what the straps do is to keep the case from falling off the dock when the transformer isn't docked. And you could put the straps back on in that case...
Cool thanks
I own a real Tuff-Luv case and really like it. Worth what I paid even if that's about double what that clone costs. It does add some bulk.

Yeah i decided to splurge and grab the real Tuff-Luv case off amazon (Veggie leather, never seen the genuine leather anywhere aside from the official site). It is quite expensive but i do believe the build quality will be better than the knockoffs (also the MiniSuit knockoff does not have a cutout for the left speaker, and ive heard of minor issues with alignment of the holes (for cameras, etc).
when it arrives in a couple weeks, i will post pictures.
for now:

(UK) Are there ANY decent cases at all?

Im starting to wonder if I'm terribly unlucky or just plain doomed here.
I've so far bought a Mitab folio case which while managing to hold the tablet reasonably is clearly overstressing the docking aspect and doing damage to the tablet when I try and dock it. Without both parts in the case the tablet cover has the appearance/feel of an illfitting old book.
I then got a random folio case off ebay, allegedly a Moko Multi Angle Case and its terrible, it doesnt fit right and you cant use the camera.
I was then going to just get the ASUS Transleeve but apparently it scractches the back of the tablet and its hinge/connecting mechanism is made of fail.
So I ask you, XDA, which (if any) case is decent enough for the Prime?
Ideally I wanted something that I can dock while using, but thats seemingly out of the question, so I just want a nice case that doubles as a stand and doesn't look terrible.
Suggestions please (pref with Amazon UK links!) Would a "genuine" a Moko Multi Angle Case be the way to go, or perhaps the "premoium MoKo Case?
Cheers!
I am more than happy with my 2 UK cases.

I bought a Targus - Truss Leather Case/Stand. Just bought it because it was at Best Buy when I bought my tablet. Figured I'd use it for protection until I found a better/cheaper one, and then return it. I have read most threads on here about cases an also looked elsewhere online at cases quite a bit and have yet to see a case that I liked as well, much less better. I payed $40 US for it, though I'm sure it can be found cheaper online, but I really really like the fit, function, and quality of it. I would recommend it to others without any hesitation.

You can find them on ebay from china and cost about 13 squid delivered, the only prob is waiting for delivery. But its not that long.
Hi Ady,
I have the premium Moko case you linked to.
My review is up on Amazon for this case too
I really like it, the Primes fits into the case perfectly, all the ports are accessible with the case on, as is the camera and flash.
I'll get some photos taken so you can see the fit.
Are there any good folding stand cases with access to the charging port while the thing is closed?
I found this Moko Premium folio one, which does look great as nitram says, other than it being folio rather than folding type:

But as I said, I'm looking for more of one these folding types like, but neither of them show if there is a hole for the charging port while they are closed:
amazon (dot) com/MoKo-Folding-Transformer-10-1-Inch-Android/dp/B00565T3ZW/ref=sr_1_17?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1332909457&sr=1-17

Does anyone have them and can say or show if they have the port hole?
Hmm, interesting point there Alex.
Using the case as a stand (the Moko premium) the charging point is not accessible.
However, if you take the Prime out and put it in upside down then the charging point is at the top and thus accessible.
If I use the case with the front part of the case folded right back, then the charging point is fully accessible, but..... you have to unplug it, folde the case back, then plug it in again.

Moko Portfolio Case

Hey guys,
If anybody is looking for cases, I'm using this one.
http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Folding-...1SCQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1337432342&sr=8-2
I like it a lot. It's very sturdy, strong build and the price is not bad at all. i would recommend it. Reviews are pretty good on it as well.. I'm not a big fan of folding cases but this one changed my mind. It's not those flimsy cheap ones they sell on ebay for $5. I had one of those for my tab 7.0 plus and it was garbage.
Ordered this same case over the weekend and am awaiting delivery. I do have the keyboard dock but see this as an excellent alternative for some situations. It's called a Transformer for a reason after all.

I concur, its a good case and since I couldn't find it in the Netherlands, I also ordered it through Amazon.
+ Very affordable
+ Sturdy
+ Proper screen protection
+ Fast delivery
+ Simple, yet stylish finish (leather-look, black)
But....
- I had to "adjust" the hole for the headphone. Originally it was placed 7 mm too low (when holding the tablet upright). But with a sharp knife, that is easily done.
- The cover is (when folded) hold in place by a small flap. I find that the friction is too low to properly keep the cover in place. So I improved it with some velcro. Now the cover stays were it is no matter how mucht I move the case around. Just make sure you place the soft side of the velcro on the cover (doesn't scratch the screen)
- It adds about half of the tablet in weight, which is no problem when its standing/laying on a surface of course. But just to let you know
-The 40 pin connector is at all times unprotected
- I am also thinkin of clearing some of the material around the on/off switch. I find it a bit too hard to reach (I am a lazy SoB, mind you )
- I will add a small loop for a stylus (not present)
I admit I am still waiting for the smart cover version like the one for the TF201. But until that moment, this one is it.
Cheers
I purchased this case and received it today. I really like it and it was a great deal. It's probably tthe best one for the money right now. Very well-made and fits perfectly. I especially like now the screen cover adjusts depending on the way you want to use the wedge stand and the magnets in said cover to keep it closed.
All-in-all, I highly recommend it to anybody who is looking for a case and is not going to be using the keyboard dock.

I concur, its a good case and since I couldn't find it in the Netherlands, I also ordered it through Amazon.

I am also in the Netherlands and am trying to order it from Amazon, yet the buyer says they do not ship to the Netherlands?
I am using this link: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007P657RI/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=A2W9JVEMMG88KL
I was wondering if you could post the link you used?
Thanks.

How do you like it?
***EDIT
I went ahead and purchased it anyway! Will be here on Monday!
I think it's great !!
i have it sitting on my desk at home, now i'm just waiting on the TF300 couple of questions:
1. assume the case closed leaves the inside of the case touching the screen. any damage possible here? it looks like pretty soft suede or microfiber, but still wondering.
2. what's the deal with carving out the headphone jack? has anyone else had to do this?
3. do you have pictures of the velcro thing? anyone else had problems closing it?

Is the extra cost of the Caseen skinny cases worth it over the moko?

If you are talking about the Moko one?
1. No, No damage possible. I had it for a month or so and havent seen damage on screen. I wonder this to, but it doesnt touch the screen. Atleat for me it doesn't.
2. I didn't have to. I used the headphones with no problem. No carving..
3. I can send a picture of the velcro but it's pretty strong. The tablet doesn't move down or tries to walk away from the case.
Mine is supposed to arrive tomorrow (Friday). Can't believe the overwhelming positive feedback from so many other users who have this case.
I've ordered mine by UK

It's a delivery estimate, but generally the dispatches from UK are very quick.
I have the moko case for the tablet and its great. The reason the screen doesn't get scratched is because of 2 magnets that are sitting on each corner on the far end of the case and when the case is closed there is still about a centimeter or 2 of clearance. Great case imo

Hi,
is it easy to take out? I use the dock very often and I'm just looking for a case for surfing the internet or watching films, so I don't have to hold the tablet all the time. But cases like the slim one make it very hard / annoying to take the tablet out.
Does the magnets affect the tablet?
One of the reviews on Amazon for this case said that the magnets have some affect on the GPS. I am generally reluctant to bring electronics close to magnets. Does anyone see any issues with the magnets and GPS?

No it's not. I take it out all the time. I personally don't like cases, but I had one because of my daughter.

I saw that. I'll give it a try today. I don't use my tablet for gps so that doesnt bothered me.
