Dont get it.. its not as useful as i hope. NOthing like the Smart Cover, it has only 2 set ups both in landscape, it doesnt cover the back, and its an hassle to use while charging. Also if you plan on getting the keyboard dock also it would be useless
I agree, it sucks hard. Sending mine back next week.

that bad huh? guess ill pass on these.
wow, if its that bad maybe I should send mine back too, its coming tomorrow, but what alternatives are there that aren't bulky?
I actually like it. Not sure what problem with charging while it's attached, mine is easily plugged in. I like it because it's nice and thin, and I'm not terribly worried about the back getting scuffed up. I might be unusual in that regard, tho.

I find it very useful. Use my TP about 7-9 hours a day straight and it works in great form presentations to movies to typing. It'd all how u want to look at it. If you think it's garbage you will see it only like that. I have a backside protector and it won't ever scratch etc. You just can't charge it while it's in the high position.

How easy can you unhook the cover? I'd like to get it to protect the screen from my cats stepping on it while at home, but put the Prime in a leather case when traveling with it.

the hinges on my sleeve literally fell a part. the metal hinges also left scuff marks and a square shaped chip on the back of my prime.

I have a back protector but I understand the marks on the back.. I can see it slightly on my protector..
I put thick tape where the hinges would go but I dont like the cheap feel of it and for 40 bucks I already asked for RMA.

Already got the Asus sleeve from amazon and the first think I did before I applied was to put some thick tape on the hinge. After that also putted a very small pice on the back of the tablet and now is working great I don't have the risk of any scratch type.
I think is a good product with its flaws but it's overpriced

Long time viewer, first time poster. I figure all the help you guys have given me I should return the favor.
What you need:
-A hard cover book the size of your prime
-The foam from the inside box covers (tab and dock)
-Some elastic strips
-Glue, a drill or punch, and a Box cutter or scissors

Some tips on building:
When cutting the foam out of the box don't worry about being too neat. Glue it to the inside cover of the book before trimming the edges.
Make sure once it's the right size you go around the edges and corners with glue.
When punching the holes to thread the elastic, be sure to line up the top hole along the left side with the center of the volume rocker.
You don't need to be too crafty to build this. And you wind up with a fairly original case for your prime.
Don't forget to make the cut out for the rear camera!!!

Cool idea. You should make a YouTube video n embedded it in your post. PLUS this makes the prime kind of discreet. People more than likely to think you carrying a book or reading one. Less likely to get stolen if in public area.
Looks good and a very cheap n quick solution.
Wow, that's hardcore.
This is the most ghetto/amazing thing I've seen. Nice work
Sick! I think I'm gonna roll the sugru route. Roll up some pieces put it on the corners and push it into some saran wrap so its nice n smooth. I think it'll come out pretty clean. I've seen it done on phones and it looks clean...

I admire your creativity. I love making my own things (like adding a decoration to plain flip flops or recoloring and old purse & changing the hardware) but this is the greatest idea I've seen.
Wish I would have thought of it before spending $150 on cases. If I could just sew through leather, you could design and I could build. I need to make some serious $$$-lol.

I've had my ultraslim for about 5 days now and had a pm from a member here regarding it, so figured I'd post a few pics and a mini review. First off, good customer service. About a week and a half went by after I ordered and I had not received my case yet (I'm in PA, they're in CA i believe). I called up and the rep said it appeared it might've gotten lost by usps due to the tracking not being updated. No questions asked he sent me another via Fedex priority and I had it two days later.
Pics and then a bit more info:

First, I definitely like this case. With the size of the note, I was way too hesitant to drop good money on something that would make it any bigger. I've never used a pouch for a phone before but I'm liking this. White on white looks great too, to me. Have had some compliments on it already.
Fit: I received my case literally as I was going out the door to go to the gym. As I immediately noticed that my phone kept rebooting every time I put the phone in the case, and when it was on, the volume kept changing. I realized the inner seams were pressing up against the buttons. I was very upset at first, and then realized I just had to put it in a bit crooked so the seams run along the edge of the buttons rather than on them, not a big deal. Took about a few days for my case to start breaking in and now the note fits snugly but easily pulls in and out of the case. Also note that the case has kind of formed to the 'crooked' way that I put the note in. It's not like I need to make sure I'm avoiding the seams when I put the phone in, it just slides in exactly how I want it to now.
I rock my note upside down in the case, since I have BLN on. All I have to do is lift up the top flap a bit and I can see if I have notifications.
Protection: Obviously it'll keep away scratches. Drop protection... it really is thin. However, I'd be fairly confident that on a regular drop, the case would save it. It's basically just a thin layer of leather, but I think it's enough to absorb the shock. It's like the difference between the metal cased iphones and plastic phones... just a little bit makes a difference. That said, I'm not going to test it. But it really does add essentially no noticeable bulk or weight, and gives you a better grip when removing it from your pocket.
Feel free to ask any questions.
Very classy looking, thanks for the share.
nice pocket. where did you buy it?
bought it direct from them through their website.
What was the price? Do you think it would fit with an elago slim fit case? White looks so sexy on this phone..

$35. And I don't quite understand your question... See you asking if your phone with case attached will fit in the pouch? No.. It's designed to perfectly fit the phone. Then again I don't know how thick your case is but I highly doubt it and aren't sure why you'd use both
Sent from my Samsung Nizzote
Just an FYI. I picked up a cover at Staples over the weekend. It is a Targus leather book style cover for the A500. It looked as though it would fit so I decided to give it a go. It fits almost perfectly. There is an unnecessary opening on the back, for the A500 speaker I assume, and the headphone jack is a bit tight to reach, but otherwise it works very well. The 300 speaker is covered, but I have no problems hearing it. I have used it for podcasts and I hear them fine. I have been able to plug in my headphones although I will likely try and make that space a bit larger. I don't have a keyboard so I didn't have to worry about that. The power is in the bottom and is easily accessible.
I do not have a model number, but again it is a Targus book style case for the A500. More importantly, if this A500 cover fits, others likely will as well. It opens up the possibilities a bit at least.

It's okay, (currently own one) however I returned my transformer prime and dock and picked up the 32gb Eee Pad TF300, the only thing I did not like about it was the fact that without the dock included the cover is loose on the flap. . .it was more built with the keyboard in-mind.
Hope this helps

I forgot to take a picture of the charging port, it does have a perfect hole in the case for that. Every other port or button holes are correctly placed. Although there's not a hole per say for the mic it still works as normal.
So I've been looking for this case but it's always been too expensive everywhere. I found this one but I'm not familiar with this site. Has anyone ever used them before? Looks like a really good deal.

That looks pretty good. If it didn't already have the expensive cover I would try that one.
I like the way it can stand up at 2 different angles, I wish it could stand vertically though.
not endorsing brands mart, however they had the oem case for $38
not endorsing brands mart, however they had the oem case for $38. I bought one their, other electronics I bought their went yours tits up before 6 months, so caution on everything else.
I just bought this case a few hours ago from my local store here in Dubai. It fits well on my tab. But the problem is that the hinge next to the camera hole is quite narrow. Every time I close it, it touches the power button unexpectedly causing a restart. Maybe it will differ on other stocks of this item.
I'm not using the camera that much so instead of opening the cover to the right, I rotated the tab covering the lens and made it open to the left.
Be careful after a month or so you might end up with fraudulent charges on the card you use, I did.
Yea, I wasn't sure about using that site so I ordered one of the Poetic cases from Amazon. I had one on my old ASUS Transformer and liked it. Good price too.

I ordered this case last week, so far I like it a lot. It's slimmer than Samsung version and I like the way the felt part that covers the screen doesn't end up on the outside of the case when you open it and set it down. I was worried about getting dirt on the felt and scratching my screen.
I also like that the cover latches without needing the elastic strap, although it does have one. It also stands at 2 different angles.
It does smell very plasticy, hopefully that will go away soon.

I am looking for a case that can accommodate both the TF300T and the keyboard dock but with the option to leave out the keyboard if I so choose to.
Currently I have this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/MoKo-Foldin...1SCQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1364833328&sr=8-1 but that will only do the tablet.
Can anyone suggest one that can take both and keep them safe while travelling? Ideally I'm looking for something that does not cover the front bezel at all (like my current case), I find it annoying to touch corners with these covers on.

Yeah, I use mine all the time. It works nicely even without the dock part attached. It's good quality too. Mine is holding up nicely.
I ordered http://www.minisuit.com/p-1033-mini...ather-dual-view-grooves-stand-case-black.aspx and got sent http://www.minisuit.com/p-931-asus-...ase-compatible-with-mobile-docking-black.aspx
Thankfully minisuit were very easy to deal with and sent me the correct case within a week - not bad for way down in New Zealand. Anyway, when I received the wrong case I tried it out as the packaging wasn't sealed.
By gods it was awful, having it's huge and fits poorly around the tablet screen - if you were using it to store many other things it might be useful but for just protecting the tablet + dock it's unwieldy as hell. Great that you can remove the dock portion, but those snaps are huge and jut out a long way, and elastic straps to hold the keyboard in? Surely there's a more discreet way. The velcro strap that goes over the top of the tablet round to the front, its like they're intentionally trying to be ugly. I honestly found a 10inch neoprene netbook cover easier to use.
It was a relief to receive the dual view with grooves stand that actually fits well and doesn't show as much around the front of the tablet, it doesn't protect the keyboard as well, but I don't need it to. Build quality is ten times that of the folio case, and from the same manufacturer!
