Hey all,
I found this on amazon. Thought maybe some might be interested. It's a cheap alternative and I've already placed my order for it. 9.58 isn't alot to spend and that's all i figured I'd lose. I ordered the brown one but there's a black one too. Might be a cheaper alternative to the tuf-luv case since some were worried about the bulk. I'll update this once I receive it and give you some pics.
Since it won't allow me to url tags or give out the url, search for Navitech + Asus and you should see what I'm talking about.
Let me know what you think!
This looks JUST like the Elsse Premium Synthetic Leather Case (there's a thread about this elsewhere in this sub forum). They were having a discussion there about whether or not the case would work with the dock as well, and I guess the answer would be yes, if you unfasten the velcro?
Can anybody confirm?
Is this what you mean? Looks good if not a little thick when all combined.
Anxious to hear any reviews.
Yeah...that's what I was talking about...apparently they must have had a huge messup with the price because I got one yesterday for 4.99 + 4.49 shipping....they've sent it and it looks like it's coming from the UK...anyhow...the 4.99 are gone and they've got only the 19.99 left. I'll give a review once I get the case...even if you undo the velcro, you can still to a material store (joanne fabrics, etc.) and get a longer velcro strap to hold it together. Thanks!
Wouldn't the rooCASE Slim work the same way?

roocase does not do the samee thing at all; this has a case for the tablet, then also for the docking port and then they finally work together somehow.

Looks like someone gave it 1 star on the Amazon product page. According to the reviewer it does not accommodate a docked tablet too well.

Looks like the reviewer may have a legit point. If you look at the sideways pictures, you can tell the tablet is not docked. The tablet hangs over the edge of the dock by almost an inch. Anybody who has the tablet with the dock knows that when it is closed, there is almost no overhang. I know I won't be buying it.
With that said, if anyone knows of a better case. Even one that would store the dock and tablet separately, I'd like to know about it.
ilgadets,
If you're interested in a sleeve case, I recommend this one:
http://www.overstock.com/Luggage-Bags/Wenger-Swiss-Gear-Legacy-10.2-inch-Tablet-iPad-Netbook-Slimcase/5804731/product.html
It has two zippered pockets, handles, a removable shoulder strap, and pockets on the front and back,
and it fits the Transformer and keyboard dock (separately) perfectly.
The handles can be slipped into the pockets, but that adds "bumps" that I didn't like.
I wanted the thinnest possible case, so I cut off the the handles and the triangular clips for the shoulder strap.
I think this is one of the best solutions for carrying the tablet and keyboard separately.
Regards,
Eric
FWIW - I grabbed one from best buy for an HP Mini 10 and it works perfectly. Fits very snug with the dock, and i feel safe carrying the tab around in it. Also has a zip pouch for a cleaning cloth, HDMI adapter, headphones, and other small items.
Was about $25 iirc... so a little bit more than what you're looking at here.

I have the exact same one, mines black and kinda has a 3D cube kinda pattern on the front. Anyways, I'm an employee, so mine only set me back $7. BBY employee discount is changing though, so that won't be the case in the future.
Anyways, case fits great, holds tab or tab+keyboard excellently.

Are you guys taking about a case or a carrying bag? Unless I'm mistaken, I believe the OP is talking about a folio type case for both the tablet and dock - kind of like this Tuff-Luv combo case.

The Tuff-Luv's are very nice and well made but also pricy. This might be a good folio alternative for cheaper one.

I ordered this case last week and so far I am really loving it. First things first, I really like the build quality. The case gives you alot of options with different viewing angles which is nice. It has leather on the outside and felt on the inside. All ports are accessible and you can even plug into the keyboard dock without having to remove from the case (huge bonus for me). I don't have anything to compare to but it seems very slim. I have never been a case guy for my phones but with a tablet I don't think it matters as much. Overall I am very glad I bought it. For the price, $25, the quality is second to none. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. Link to sale site below.

Edit: i do want to add that I just noticed the speakers look like they might be covered in the pix but when you take off the bumper guard you can see they are not covered at all. If anyone cares.....
Case looks nice. I just brought the rotating one but this looks really good.

I bought the rotating one too and hate it
The popper is a stupid idea, impossible to remove and attach with the TF insde without almost cracking the screen from the back
Should have been Velcro I think, I might replace it
Also the TF doesnt sit straight inside it, so the camera is partially covered by the back of the case

I don't know. Very sturdy so it SEEMS like metal. It's covered in leather so hard to tell.
I have the blurex case same as OP and love it. I've had several different tablets and tried most all the versions of cases, and this Blurex is the best I have ever had. It is extremely functional also looks really classy.
I ordered the Blurex case after reading your review and I just got it in the mail today. Its really nice, the fit is perfect with no slipping or sliding. The only thing I dont like is that the bottom is quite tight so its kind of awkward to put into the stand mode. Im sure itll break in though with use.

Yeah its gets a little more loose. But to be honest I like having it somewhat hard to get out. I just have to add, it passed to toddler test this weekend with flying colors
I bought this from Amazon after reading this review.
Great case, really nice. Thanks!
Picked up this case from Amazon UK to replace a previous case, love it, really well made, solid professional finish and really light.
I think the best part is having 100% of the screen area visable

Yeah definitely. Big reason I bought I it actually and it did not disappoint. The case does not cause any extra steps to get the tab docked.
anybody have a pic with the case on and docked?
Here u go dude. U obviously cannot close the case while docked but everything else is cool.
just ordered one thanks to this review for bringing it to my attention. Hope I like it. Was really hoping for something like the speck candy case for the ipad. Can't such a beast so got this guy. Thks
I love this case.
Ordered and received this case because of this review. I love it. When it is closed, it feels very durable, and I don't worry about breaking the transformer. When opened, the different viewing angles are perfect.
Thanks for posting this review and steering me towards this case!
I almost ordered this, even though I have no idea when I'll actually get a prime, but Amazon has a few of the oddly-named 'Sleeve Cases" available. Here's the grey:

I'm not ordering on sheer principle, but some of you folks actually have the tablet, so... Have at it.
Awesome! Got one. Hopefully my wife actually bought me the Prime for xmas.
Got one here, too. Thanks!
Other colors available too. Got mine in black. Search TF201 sleeve.

That's exactly what I would like to know. I ordered mine but I'm dying to know if they stick or not.
I'm guessing we'll find out tomorrow when some of us will get it delivered.
How is that case? It looks cheap for $40.00
It has been said they do not. the stiff cover causing them to stay close to the tablet
Haven't been paying attention to the accessories section have you???
I got one... will be here tomorrow... ETA on my Prime: Jan. 9th
At least I'll have something to look at till then, and think about what it will look like on my future tablet.
purchased yesterday, chose free shipping and looks like it went out today and will be here friday!!!
I want to get one, but I want to use my $10 credit on it. Come on Amazon.
The cover has a hinge on it which keeps it closed. It snaps into the dock connectors then opens and closes similar to a laptop lid. I saw it on one of the reviews, but I have looked at so many videos I can't remember which one it was, but the guy liked it. I wonder how strong it is though.
Any concern that this sleeve doesn't cover the back side?

Hey guys, just wanted to post my video review of this case. It really is a great case an I have been using it with my TP whenever I don't have it docked. I am looking forward to the release of their Portfolio case, which is essentially the same as this one except it holds the keyboard dock as well.
I included a coupon code for Amazon, it should make this case about $10. Enjoy!
Coupon: TF201PRO
Cool

Thanks bud.. Just ordered, code worked for me!
I also really like the Poetic Case. Doesn't add a lot of bulk, yet provides good protection. I like that it does not cover the bezel, unlike other leather cases such as the Caseen. My only critique is that the grooves in which the Prime rests in at 3 angled positions could be a bit deeper, as sometimes the Prime will slip out of the groove, particularly the first narrower angle groove. Other than that, great case for the price!
May I have the a coupon code? Want to order one for my Prime. Many thanks.

Great case. I bought it for utility as a stand/cover but I dropped it on the pavement one day trying to carry too many groceries.
Not a scratch.
Thanks for the review and the coupon. I have one coming my way for $9.95!
I bought mine last night. Its my first case for my prime. I'm still saving for my dock. It was eligible for amazon prime so It will be in today hopefully. Your code didn't work for me though. Still looked like a great case from your video.

Anyone have a quick fix for how to get it to sit in the slots more stable? They aren't deep enough to hold the prime in place sometimes.

Great case, especially with the coupon code.. Very happy with it.

Mine does not have holes either.
You got the case with the white stitching (as opposed to black stitching) around the outside edges, right? I know they sold 2-3 versions of the case that are very similar to each other, but not the exact same.
My case has black stitching, or very dark, if you will.
For the money, this really is a good case. I've been very happy with it so far. I only bought till better cases came out ,but now I like it so much I haven't even bothered to look for something different.
I'm considering buying this one, because I'm looking for a slim case (tablet only) with some viewing angle stands, and this one looks really nice.
Do anyone of you have it? Would you recommend it? Does the tablet get damaged from the sides?
thanks!
I would recommend this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007P657RI/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01 over the VersaSleeve, I have both and the VersaSleeve is more of a carrying case (for tablet+dock).
i want the new one they made for the T201. Does anyone know if it will fit ours?

Somewhat fits, but don't think it fits properly - read somewhere that the cover doesn't quite properly clip on securely.
Wouldn't go there myself though.
Mine arrived from samsclub.com. Looks like a quality piece and I like the shiny brown material the sleeve is made with.

If you don't want a case that sits stuck on your table, and want more of a carrying bag that double acts as a dual-view stand for your tablet, this is perfect!

Yes...
I use the VersaSleeve for a couple of months now, and I think it's great. As said earlier, it really is a 'carrying bag' which also doubles as a stand for the tablet. But if you want to use the tablet, you need to take it out of the 'bag', which is a big advantage for me because I don't want to hold a tablet and extra case, which makes it only heavier and thicker.

How does Versa Sleeve do with the docking? I think you can carry both the tab and the keyboard, but is it possible to USE the "netbook" version without taking it out of the sleeve? Any picture to show it mounted?

Here is the one i am using and i just cannot get over how much i freaking love it.. I am beyond impressed. Its 12 bucks.. took about 2~3 weeks to get here. But well worth the wait. My step mom got a case for her Kindle, has the option of putting it up in a prop mode. Like for watching movies. But she paid freaking 30 bucks for it. The quality of my case is (in my mind) better than hers, it has the function to rotate the device to prop it up in landscape or portrait. I cannot explain in words how amazed i am. Prolly the best quality product i have ever gotten from China.

How's the buttons, port and slim case? Does it fits properly?
How's the build quality? Does it leave any mark on the screen when close? I have this case on my kindle and it kinda leave stripe mark due to the fabric from the case but it can be easily removed by wiping and doesn't leave any scratch. I also want this one but items from this area usually takes 2 weeks minimum.
Another thing it looks like it provides 2 viewing angle, on my kindle its only stable when landscape and it falls back when portrait mode especially for lower angle viewing.
would appreciate if you post pic showing the thickness and how it stand for both landscape and portrait in both viewing angle.
I think I will be getting this one especially available in prime
I have the versa sleeve. Got it on samsclub.com for like 12$ thanks to someone here on xda posting the sale!
I like it a lot for my needs. I had a thick poetic case, but it was too bulky. I prefer to use the tablet naked and then have the sleeve to use as a stand/carrying case. It is thick, durable and I don't worry about it when I throw the tablet in my messenger bag. The stylus loop on it is a plus.
