It comes in a few other colours but I think green is best
I have only found it on my local UK eBay so I'm not sure if anyone else can get it. Amazon seem to sell it also.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/150700855321
I have seen it on other sites as well its made by MOFI I think, its often sold for the Kindle Fire as well.
I promise this is not my eBay auction, I just found it and wanted to share the case.
Have ordered even before I get a Nook Tablet in Jan.
Hi, seems like a nice one....how much did you pay for it?
Cheers,
Giz
In the end I found it on Amazon.co.uk for £9.95 by searching Mofi Tablet Bag.
Should be much quicker then arriving direct from China.

Thanks for the tip,
Have you checked this one?
It's called Tasume and enables you to lay your NT on you desk on both V and H positions....
Rather expensive though and couldn't find it anywhere outside the B&N website...

I was going to get that, but when I saw that the buttons were covered, that was my stopping point. I don't see why they couldn't put provisions in for the buttons. Plus, the price was a bit much.
Hi again. Yup...the buttons are indeed covered, but have you noticed the +/- signs for the volume? I guess on the other side there must be a "O" for the power sign.
The question stands though, could we click on the buttons easily through the plastic cover?
Giz
I have the Tasume. The button's aren't as easy to hit as when out of the case, but it isn't bad. The power buttion isn't covered by the case as it's on the side you slide it into the case. The stand up in any direction feature is really slick imho, and the reason I bought it.
There is no hole for the mic. I didn't care as a I have yet to use it and I figure some scissors or a lighter and a needle can fix that easily enough.
The major problem I have with it is that it is smooth and therefore a little slippery. A slippery case half defeats the purpose of a case. It does have a little bump on the back from the flap the holds the device in and I've almost trained myself to automatically hold it by the bump, so that's not as big a deal as it was when I got it, but still hardly ideal.

I ordered the cheaper Samsung one.
I could not work out a reason for the price difference, unless the seller has missed some of them when raising / dropping the price.
Or perhaps they think some will be more popular then others?
Mine has been shipped now, but with Christmas post might take a few days before it arrives here.
Case arrived yesterday. I'm happy with it.
Just need a Nook now.
Eheh, I find myself in the exact opposite situation....got a nook, rooted, customized, etc....and still waiting for the case...

hi，can you post pics with your device and can you explain that how to protect your device？
Nice find, thanks! Just ordered one
very nice find, ordered myself one as well
I'm planning on ordering one as well. It'll go nicely with the skin i have on it. The skin protects from minor cuts and scrapes when I'm using it and the sleeve will protect in between usages. Good plan overall

I have this case. I had looked for a case that would also hold the tablet in portrait and landscape, but at the time, there was not much to choose from.
My main interest would be for landscape to watch movies. In portrait, I am usually reading or using a browser so holding it is fine.
I found that if I move the elastic strap into a position it really should not go, the case works perfectly and supports landscape at almost any angle.
Not sure how long the elastic will hold out, but after 2 months it seems to holding up fine so far.

Someone posted in the huge @ss thread that they thought the Kindle DX was about the same size as the GTablet.
I went ahead and ordered this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Kindle-DX-Leath...&otn=4&po=LVI&ps=63&clkid=5004332251969071237
I'm happy with it so far, the DX is about half and inch wider, height is okay, so it can slide around a bit. I put some stick on velcro on the case and on the GTab, it isn't going anywhere now. I think I'm going to have to use superglue for the velcro on the case though, it's felt lined so it won't stick on for long. The only thing is the top elastic band is close to the power button, maybe Roebeet's electrical tape solution is in order.
UPDATE: Oh, well my fake pleather case has ding in the edge now. Maybe I need to get some of that liquid leather. ;P Happy with the sizing, just need to find something more durable. Maybe I'll use some of that new fangled electrical tape I hear is the new duct tape.
Electrical tape is the new duct tape:

I need to do something like that, was thinking of a little piece of sticky backed foam, like 1/4 ince or so, think I have some perfect for that around here somewhere.
Hitting that power button is way to easy to do, need to mod the physical keys on the side somehow also, lol.
I found an iPad case on amazon for $14.95 that has good potential. go to amazon and search for "Acase Leather Flip Book Jacket/folio for Apple Ipad 3g Tablet/wifi Model 16gb, 32gb, 64gb (Black)" in Electroincs.

Mike, I'd be careful. I've looked at several ipad cases but the gtab is taller and not as wide as the ipad. Most I've seen dont fit unless it's a universal case.

I purchased a Solo Classic iPad/eReader portfolio case from Staples that was around $30.00. The downside is that the power button is covered by one of the soft cloth corner holders, but other than that it has worked fine.

I purchased form fitting leather case for kindle DX from ebay . The G tablet fit amazingly well in it. The only problem is that the upper left strap is blocking the charger plug .
Looks good!! Maybe a hole punch can make your life easier.

how tight the elastic band holding the tablet? will it slide out when you carry it around? I am thinking to purchase one right now.

The band was tighter when I first got it (infact it was so tight that it keep randomly turn on my tablet). After a few days it loosen up so the problem resolve itself. I carry it around ,always rushing to class and it feel pretty secure imo.

Yep. Almost all cases for iPad do not work, since the G is wider.

Hey guys I just ordered this and will let you know how I go:
http://wap.ebay.co.uk/Pages/ViewIte...l?ViewItem&item=140460255965&autoredirect=off
It's a case for the Zt-180. I checked and the measurements of the Zt-180 and gtab are very similar. I am fairly sure it will fit and I can see in the pic that the corner loops look to be elastic as well.
It should effectively fit similar to that kindle one others have been buying but the corner loops will be more flexible hopefully meaning that there is no need to cut off one corner like the kindle one.
Hi BAM,
I'd love to know how did it go with your case . I've got the same idea but since you are ahead of me so can i get a bit of feedback please.cheers..
Is it this one?
eBay link: http://cgi.ebay.com/10-Leather-Case...ltDomain_0&hash=item483eb6c286#ht_1763wt_1139
$12.79 with free shipping.
Size: 10.6" x 7.09" x 0.59"
It has a stand built in as well. Since it's not that expensive, I went ahead and bought it, along with this bluetooth keyboard/touch pad combo:
http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Rii-Mini-Wi...ltDomain_0&hash=item4cf4a653c5#ht_6664wt_1200
$38 + $10sh, $48 total.
All in all, $60 spent. I also bought two docks from it2steve, I'm planning on setting up one dock on my nightstand, and then another dock in my living room for my tv. Then I could sit on the couch and type/control the tablet using the bluetooth device above. That's my logic at least, we'll see how it plays out.
I can see that set up you have working fine except the HDMI picture quality is lacking. Wish it output a better 1080p image to the screen via the dock. I also wish we can have profiles for the docked and undocked state. Let's say we have a way of automatically disabling the Wi-Fi, Adjust the brightness, enable blue tooth and enabling the HDMI all when in the docked state...now that would be great. But I still do like the dock.
All, remember that the quality of the 1080p playback will depend on the encoding used to create the video on the gTab to begin with. If i remember several posts by Robeet and others, high profile will not work on the Tegra2 CPUs, and we've already condensed the quality of the original to scale down to fit the 10" screen.
If you are expecting the lower quality to be upscaled, I think you'll be sorely disappointed.
I just received this case and so far it's not bad. I like that it hides the buttons on the right that I'm always pressing by accident and getting kicked out of whatever I'm in. The stand is not as sturdy as I'd like but it works. For the price, this is worth it for me.

Well I just bought one of those cases although it looks like it covers the camera port so I may need to do some modifying but great deal nonetheless. Hopefully it fits the tablet snug.

Nah its not that case.
I am still waiting on delivery as I bought it through ebay uk and I live in australia. It takes ages for UK items to arrive.
The case I bought has corner loops just like the kindle dx case but from the picture i saw it looks like the corner loops are half elastic hopefully eliminating the issue that the dx owners have had.
The measurements however look almost spot on.
Will definitely update soon. I expect the case to arrive this week. Fingers crossed!
Should look like this:
http://www.digibite.co.uk/ebay_img/10_cases/lc_no2_5 (Small).jpg
BAM
It fits perfectly! Like a glove!
There's no cutting stretching or modifying required. As I suspected the loops are part leather part elastic so it hugs the corners with enough freedom to access everything. Power plug still accessible, USB and sdmicro ok, and nothing else is blocked.
The leather is firm but feels soft. There's a slide in tag rather than a button/buckle to keep it closed. It works well and means your not pressing against the screen.
I'll post up pics in a day or so as I'm cutting into drinking time now.
ZT-180 case
I have an ePad ZT-180 (which died). I think it is the same as the aPad. It came with a leatherette folding case that has a built-in keyboard. It is an exact fit. Not only that but the USB keyboard works with the G-tablet. One of the clamps interferes with access to the USB port but a few nibbles with nibbling tool made a notch big enough for the USB connector an still left it functional for holding the tablet in place. - Jim
does it work as a stand?
No it's just a folio type case not doubling as a stand.
And i've updated the first post with pics to show how it looks.
Just got my Transformer today and went to Staples to see what sort of cases they had available. Anyway, long story short, I came across this folio/zip up case...
http://www.staples.com/SOLO-Studio-Collection-iPad-eReader-Jacket-Brown-9.7/product_912505
It's listed for the ipad/kindle dx, but it ended up fitting great. There are some downsides to it which I will list below, but all in all it's a great alternative case with the limited selection available.
Pros:
- Very well padded case
- Nice design, very simple
- Holds the transformer in place well
- Soft interior which shouldn't scratch the screen at all
- Zips up for extra protection/reinsurance
- Can charge the Transformer while in the case
Cons:
- Covers up the top volume rocker slightly
- Covers up the power button fully
I got it for $25 in-store, online it's a little bit more. If you could deal with those two cons, it's a fine case.
If you have any questions, just ask.

No problem. I know right now the only options for Asus transformer cases are the overpriced official one or the one's from Hong Kong, so I figure this case is worth it for those looking for something else.
thanks for the info, i'm looking for a portfolio type case and i think ill drop by staples and give this a look.
Thanks for posting this. I am also looking for a Portfolio style case. I like that the two corners on one of the side are static and not elastic. The price point is high though, that is about what I'd expect to pay for something made specifically for the Transformer ideally. I might have to bite though depending on how long I can hold out for my ideal case.

No problem. The fit is great actually, it's just some rockers are slightly covered up. You can still power it on while in the folio, you just can't see the button, but it's not difficult to press down. I don't think the official Asus Sleeve is worth $40 honestly, nor do a lot of people. There is also an Asus folio on ebay for around $18, but it's shipped from Hong Kong.

Just picked one up today thanks to your post. I like it and look forward to using it alot!
What I've been looking for.
Thanks for the infos. Wil head to Staples tomorrow.
just got my tf yesterday...........picked up this case today!
You're welcome. Post up how your opinions on the case when you get it!
wow this case looks luxurious and awesome. can it prop the TF up?
I like the portfolio to protect it as I'm holding it, but is there a portfolio with room for cords/chargers/etc? I thought maybe I'd buy a portfolio for protection while using it AND a bag for travel but that seems redundant....
Some more pics
Got mine today. It's pretty much perfect.
Like OP said, there are two static corners, if you place the corner of the TF with the power button and volume rocker there, you may potentially trigger the power button accidentally though very unlikely. But if you rotate it 180 degrees and place the power button corner on the top right with the two elastic bands (I just use one band and leave the other one down), then the way the band wrap around even if it goes over the power or volume button, it doesn't wrap around tight enough to trigger it.
I read lots of PDFs with the TF in portrait mode sitting on the Arkon stand, so I need a case that I can take the TF in and out of easily. This Solo case is secure but also at the same time easy to take out.
When you use it in the case, no screen real estate is covered.
It's very well build, both covers are well padded with very hard "card board- like" (for the sake of lack of a better word), ok how about titanium plate-like material, so you can confidently place the TF in your bag with other hard, sharp objects around.

Nah. You can rig it to stay propped up with the right angle, but it's not meant for it and probably won't stay in that position for long.
Looks like a good one and the price is right. Mostly 5 star reviews.

Edit: I received mine and it's an OEM version of the $30 rooCASE!
Interesting... that's the picture of the rooCASE Multi-Angle (Black) Leather Folio Case:

I wonder if rooCASE is the OEM for these, or if this one just lifted the other's photo? (Sorry for the size of the pic. I don't know how to specify a reduction in the vB code.)
EDIT: In fact, judging from the pix and the comments, I would bet the cost of the case that rooCASE is the OEM. In that case (no pun intended), this is a great deal. I paid almost $30 for the rooCASE item and thought that was a good deal. The price on this one almost makes me want to grab one as a spare.
Good catch! This would be a steal if it's the rooCASE.
Have you ordered one or has anyone else had one? I saw this a couple of weeks ago, but I wasn't sure of the quality. If anyone could throw up a quick review, I'd appreciate it.
I just received mine in the mail and it's the rooCASE!
Not only that they had a letter in the package stating if I wrote an amazon product review they would give me a full refund as compensation.

Did you order from VIP Deals? I ordered the $10 one from them (they're the same everything, but one is fulfilled by Amazon and costs $13, the other must just be a direct order for $10 which is the one I went for). I'll write a glowing review if I get that option.
Er . . . a fair and objective review.
I ordered the $9.95 version from VIP deals and it arrived within several days with the offer for a refund for a posted review.
Does it fit the dock as well? Or is it only the roocase slim that does that?

No, this one doesn't fit the dock. I keep the tab in this and the dock in an $8 Case Logic netbook sleeve from Amazon. Works great.
Sadly enough they don't ship to The Netherlands, would love to have an case like that and it's cheap as hell.

My sister lives in the US (Texas), and I'm going to order one.
If you want I can order an extra one, and send it to you when I have it.
Let me know if you would like one.
You can PM me, or email me directly
PS. This offer is only for "Korumera", as I really do not want to order more than two!
Just got my case today. I have to say its just as high quality as the AYL case I just got last week. And strangely enough I got the exact same letter inside my packaging as with the AYL, basically stating that if you leave a review then they will refund your purchase. Got to say I'm pretty happy. Thats 2 cases for ZERO dollars all for writing what I was going to write anyway.
As for the case itself I am very satisfied. It is a bit thick but the stand mechanism works great. The case stands up with the use of velcro on the bottom of the screen that sticks to the front flap of the case. It holds very well and works great at any angle. The leather is real and very high quality, however the magnet closure could be a bit better. All in all a fantastic case whether you pay 50 dollars or 0 dollars for it.

He mentions this, you have to remove the case, and if you just unstrap it the case slides off, evidently. Maybe I'll do a little review when mine arrives, hopefully tomorrow.
I just ordered it now! Thanks for bringing this deal to my attention!
I can't wait to get it

can someone actually confirm that they have received a reimbursement for this case?
Also, could someone post a pic of the letter so we know when the promotion ends?
Crap. I waited for Korumera to answer (I gave him till today).
Now the case is $18.98.
I've just ordered one for myself (as the person in question did still not answer)
Okay. It's now 18.98, but I think that this is still a good deal.
Anyway.. Next time when I see a good deal I'm not going to wait!
good thing i ordered mine last night. ill do a review as well when i get mine next week.
I just received mine today when I got home and it is really nice. (I had standard shipping and it took only 2 days!)
Tomorrow after school when I have time I will take like 30 pictures and upload them for you guys highlighting everything you want, so if you have any requests I'm taking orders

Hi all, wouldn't normally post a review of something like this, but I think this is a particularly nice case for the TF300 (tablet only).
Cooler Master are a great manufacturer of mainly PC parts, and when I noticed this on a non-english language site in a review it got me interested.
After a bit of googling, I found it on the Cooler Master Mobile EU site, and it was priced at a whopping €39.99 with €10 delivery! (it worked out at about £45).
Anyway, its available in Silver and Blue (but the blue looks black to me) and I went for the silver.
It is very much like an Apple (boo, hiss) smart cover except that there is no automatic sleep with the TF300. It has a strong magnetic closing, and I would be confident it wouldn't flap open in my bag. It doesn't add too much bulk to the tablet, and feels nice and sturdy. The flap cover feels like it will last a while, and it lets you place it in a couple of useful positions.
With the cover in place and closed, for whatever reason it feels great. I would seriously just walk around with the tablet in the case because of how nice it feels to hold. Really nice and tactile feel with the textured fibre finish, and soft touch plastic.
It is tablet only, but it pops out easy enough to attach to the dock.
I've attached some pics (sorry about quality, light wasn't great in my room), which show off the really nice finish and the carbon fibre texture of this. It is definitely a premium product, and I am happy to use this day to day.

I saw this out looks really good. I might entertain something like this. I have a cheap case from eBay I my tablet now.

Oh my god it's beautiful! Too bad it's very expensive for me. I would be way too expensive, with shipping to Turkey. Thanks for the review
Nice case :thumbup:
Sent from my magic machine and written by my pet monkey who likes bananas and cream.
It's nice to see some cases for the tablet that are geared to non-dock users.
That is a gorgeous case.
You can order one from the Cooler Master website and ship to the US...but it'll cost you about $125 USD

Holy moly! I like the case but not that much. That's outrageous.

the CS of Cooler Master EU store is quite bad, sent email to them on friday but no reply until today, 3-4 days...acceptable? i dun think so
The item number for the silver and blue covers are:
C-AT3F-CTTF-BB (Dark Blue)
C-AT3F-CTTF-SS (Silver White)
With these I was able to find a local retailer for about €40 Euro or $53 USD with free shipping
Wow. That looks good. The problem is you will need to take it out of the case in order to dock it on the keyboard wouldn't you. Or is there some way to do that without removing it all?

I'm pretty sure this case isn't dock compatible and will need to be removed in order to attach the dock.

So am I. The annoying thing is that it easy to achieve with right shape/size cut out along the bottom (hinged) edge. I know because I took one of these from Amazon and cut it out with a craft knife. Not too bad as you can see from my review at that link, but still a bit more bulky and not as pretty as this one. I am not sure if you could do the cut out with this case, but I would not want to at £45, as opposed to the less than £10 I spent

Absolutely. This case is definitely not inexpensive. Still, it is one of the best looking I've seen for our tablet.

Actually having looked at the pictures on the Master Cooler website I wonder whether it may be usable with a dock. It appears that the bottom hinge of the front flap starts a a little way up the back rather than right at the bottom. Depending upon how far up it may be possible to still slip the dock on without removing the case. It only needs about 13mm or so from my experience with the cut out on my other case.
Could I ask the OP or anybody else to have a look please and see how far up the hinge does start. Or even better if they have a keyboard dock does it enable it to be used without removing the case??? If so I think I see some more money being spent!
Hmmm... if you don't get an answer in here you can always write the manufacturer.:good:

I just tired it and its doable but requites a bit of wiggling.
The back of the dock is a bit hard to press in between the tablet and the cover but it can be done.
Here is a few pictures:
