Looking for one of these but I can't seem to find one yet. Do I just need to give it time, or am I missing something already out there?
The moment I find one ill post it here. Those ARE the best type of cases for phones and tablets. I've tried em all and the cheap ass tpu's are the best....

Yeah, I have a CruzerLite "smoke gray" one for my Droid Charge and I love it!
we all appreciate it i have a TPU argyle one on my Atrix (original with finger scanner) and i believe there the best ( also i think when i do find one im going to cut a spot for the dock to slide on )
I think if you trim it where it would fit in the dock it would be all floppy. I like the idea of cutting the back out so its like a, please don't sue me, iPhone bumper. There's a guy that did one for his galaxy nexus and it looks pretty sick.

I really don't like the feeling of TPU cases, I prefer silicone. I guess it is just preference. I think the prime deserve something of better quality like leather or aluminum will be good.
Still nothing. My wife has one on her gtab10.1 and it feels bomb on there. I think these should start hitting the market sooooooo soon. I'm not getting anything till one of these comes out because I've done a ton of cases on phones and tablets and I still think are what you really want!
I've dropped my htc evo from ear level numerous times and she just keeps coming out clean.....
yes. need these! keep yer eyes peeled boys!
anyone find one yet
any links on finding a cover yet? (so far i just have the skinomi screen same as i put on my atrix but with the back cover part to)
I have been looking daily and been disappointed e every day.. Smh

You know what though? I was bored the other day and searched for tpu cases for the O.G. transformer and I couldn't even find one! I saw some silicone cases which I'm not a fan of but this is not a good sign for are tpu case hunt. I pulled the trigger and got a portfolio case (also not a fan of) cause my prime needs protection.
Not good >.> iv had the same result....someone in china is bound to make them at some point so we must have faith!

(Back order =hell ) asus T -prime :banghead:
I've been searching ever since I placed my order. Usually eBay is loaded with them but like from a few posts up, neither the OG Transformer or Prime has any TPU gel cases. I don't know why accessory makers wouldn't make them for the Transformer tablet.
I use these type of cases with all of my cell phones. They slide in and out of jean pockets so easily as opposed to silicon which catches on the denim. I've torn those cases before because I get frustrated when I can't get my phone out of my pocket.
I would think these would exist considering both the OG and the Prime are in such high demand. I mean, they made TPU cases for the Xoom for cryin' out loud.
they had a couple for the A500 buy haven't found any for the prime
Yea I am also waiting on a clear/colored tpu case for my prime. Bought me a sleeve from BB to hold me over. You would have thought that people would be making these cases or at least in R&D for them. I can not stand leather anything so all these portfolio cases and such are not for me.
These cases need to come out quick!! My prime is just plain looking for the floor....
I just figured it out.... actually someone posted it in another thread and it makes perfect sense. There is very little case support for the prime and og TF because most people buy it with a dock and they figure people don't want to take a case on and off to dock it. Well I didn't but it for the dock and I'm mad I can't get the type of case I prefer.

I am holding out for silicon... or saline will do
BTW if you search eBay for "Asus tf101 silicone" you will see they were made for that so i think that gives us hope.
It be nice for seidio to make a surface case like the evo 3d design for the tfp. Or otterbox types as well. A tpu would be cool.

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.

Yup^^ they told me the same,when i had emailed them a few days ago

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.

If that happens just drop it again until it really does break....
Anyways, I hate Otterbox cases, they add wayyy to much weight and in all seriousness, who is going to drop a tablet...?

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?

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!
Edit: Pics! Ahead!
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).

Hey, I plan on getting the new transformer prime soon when I have the time to find it in stock. The question is, how am I going to protect this badboy? I dont care about the leather case that makes the tablet look elegant, I want a good case that stays on the tablet at all times while making it usable (sleeves don't make it into this category). I want it to be like this so there is no fear of dropping the tablet and watch this beauty be destroyed. Ideally, I want this case to be for the tablet, but if there's one that fits the keyboard too, that would be awesome!!
Nothing yet. Tab is still very new. Hoping for a gumdrop or otter box type case.

Hoping for a Ballistic or Otterbox. Ballistic has been awesome for my HTC EVO and XOOMs.
Waiting......
Tough? Look at the Pelican tablet cases
http://www.pelicancases.com/laptop-cases-s/24.htm
Just ordered the 1085 pelican with foam. Should be able to hold the dock, the tab, and my hard drive. Along with some cables and memory cards.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium
Good choice... in the weapons world Pelican makes ballistic quality cases you can trust to protect.
Okay so I'm having a problem where my prime will not stay on the table without sliding off in class (inclined surface). Does anyone know of anything I can buy to have this device stay in one place? It's only a matter of time before this thing flies off the table lol.

This should work; Non-slip mat
You should find something similar for place mats in most home good stores or walmart/target. My mother uses a ton of these for rugs, seat cushions, and even drawers.
Does your dock not have the 4 circular rubber "feet"? Mine are pretty grippy, even on my lacquered desk surface.
A great alternative though would be some eGrips circles. I've used them before on various things and they're super grippy.

I have this case for my Galaxy 10.1 and I want something similar for my Prime, but I cant find it. Maybe I'm using the wrong search words I don't know but if anyone knows where I can find one please post a link. This case has been great I have a dock but don't use it as much as I thought I would, I just need something simple like this, it feels real nice to hold also, its been one of the best purchases I've ever made. I want the case to cover everything but the slots no corners left open, everything covered except plug holes, the type that has the rubberized gel silicone type feel to it. Here is a link to the one I have for my Galaxy 10.1, I'm looking for something pretty much the exact same as this Protective Silicone Skin Cover http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0056397UK/ref=oh_o04_s00_i00_details
Thanks for any help in advance
Seems like cases for the transformers are not pouring in like hot cakes. I also want a tpu type case.

Why would someone build a case for a discontinued product?
It's not been discontinued. It's still in production.
I just ordered this for now. http://www.amazon.com/TF201-Transformer-10-1-Inch-Leather-Acase/dp/B006OGMGVA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1330055806&sr=8-3
Solid choice...
Great choice. That's the case I have and I've been very pleased with its quality, light weight, and snug fit. I also like that it is completely cut out around the speaker (identical competitor cases from Poetic, Mako, and others are not). You can also charge it while it's in the case and closed! Trust me, you'll be very happy with your choice.
