PSA - OfficeDepot Packaging - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

If you're considering ordering from OfficeDepot, I just want to mention that my wife called to let me know that my TP arrived this afternoon via UPS...in a PADDED ENVELOPE.
Yup, just stuck the box in a big padded envelope.
I have no confidence that they know what they're doing. I feel lucky that it arrived undamaged, considering that the envelope was torn by time it arrived.

Better than what BestBuy ships them in...pretty much a plastic trash bag. ZERO padding. All the corners of the box were beat to crap.

Exactly. Mine survived, but I was really surprised.

Wow, really?
I guess I'm just spoiled by Amazon's over-packaging!

My prime came in a Office Depot box, guess I got lucky.

Mine came from best buy in a padded envelope. Box wasn't harmed at all. Still though...

CaseCrown Releasing today..need help deciding

CaseCronw is releasing standby case today and it looks promising..i see that the other cases they sell for other tablets have gotten pretty good review.. i just wanted to get some opinions before i jump on this..anyone else thinking of getting or ordered it already?..

Looks nice and under $20. Assuming this is fulfilled by Amazon like their other products, I might have to pick one up.
edit: There's a video in the reviews for the iPad version. Looks great! Tight fit and very thin.
http://www.amazon.com/CaseCrown-App...Y8CR6S3G5&s=electronics&qid=1308957186&sr=1-1
checking out shows $26.56 with tax and shipping.. can this item be fulfilled by amazon at some point? i think i still might jump on this, its still cheaper than most other cases.
Damn, I'm tempted to get this. I've been wanting a good case and I already have a carrying case by case crown. But Roocase's case seems like a better option because its multi angle.
Ill probably pull the trigger on this sometime this week. I just want the thinnest stand case possible. The multi angle is less important to me than being thin and light. Most of the others are bulky and if I wanted something an inch thick that protects the screen I could just just carry the keyboard dock.
The pics on Amazon of the CaseCrown look identical to the case (Jazz) I bought from Steve over at electroniccrap.com..
http://electroniccrap.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=34_36&products_id=51
The flap on the back and the way it tucks, along with the viewing angle and case material seem quite comparable...
I'm happy with the Jazz...fit is good and material is decent, especially given the price point....is rather difficult to type at the given angle...I think I would prefer something with multiple viewing/typing angles and a little better quality material...but again, for the price paid it is a good option...I'm betting the CaseCrown will give similar results...
Ryan...should give you the thin, light case you are looking for...that was my main need and am satisfied from that standpoint...
Is this about the thinnest and lightest we can expect from a fold over case like that?
I'm getting tired of not being able to bring my transformer out due to not having any protection. Stingray, you're making me want this case even more so I hope I'm not disappointed after I order it.
Actually now that I look at it the pictures, it seems like the jazz might even be thinner than the casecrown? It's hard to tell but maybe I'm just seeing things?
Went ahead and pulled the trigger, worth trying for 25.
Finally a case built specifically for the transformer that looks decent! Definitely looking to get this. Can anyone confirm whether or not the tablet docks correctly WITH THE CASE ON?
None of them are built with the case accommodating the dock. It would pretty much require the entire bottom to be cut out.

TuffLuv will work with dock but is expensiveand the bottom is mostly cut out.
Looks right for the price. **Purchased!**
Has anyone got this shipped yet? It says in stock july 5th?
just thought i'd throw in my 2 cents here. i just bought 10 CaseCrown iPad2 standby cases for upper management at work and they are really nice cases. one of my friend had one and after messing with it, i liked it enough to recommend to the execs. as soon as the case came up on amazon for the TF i ordered one immediately.
i highly recommend CaseCrown.
Just got an "out of stock" email. They said resupply by Jul 8. Debating cancelling my order.

Got an auto email Friday stating they will ship Jun 27th but got nothing so shouted email to them and they stated they did not have enough stock to meet the preorders, next stock they receive is no later than July 8th. I threatened to cancel so they are willing to discount $3 if I wait till then. I preordered Jun 15.
I am in Canada and don't know how these guys ship so I may get this case by August. HA, HA!
Weird, just checked my email and they state it has been shipped.?

The dock compatibility has the downside of exposing the bottom to possible dust and impact. Only way I see a case supporting dock to be fully protective when undocked is if it had some kind of detachable bottom for when you need to actually dock, Probably would be good if it was held in by tiny pop-in buttons of sorts and with a as small a presence as possible so it doesn't cause any discomfort in holding the tablet.

TF201 Sleeve Case available at Amazon

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:

Awesome! Got one. Hopefully my wife actually bought me the Prime for xmas.
Got one here, too. Thanks!

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?

Asus Transformer Prime TF201 leather case

Hey Guys,
I promised I will never order from Amazon again after they messed up my Asus Prime order! However, I had to jump on this deal !! The original price for the case is $20 something dollars on the sellers website but I think there might be a glitch in their system because they have the same case on Amazon for $11.95!
http://www.amazon.com/MiniSuit-ASUS...PG/ref=sr_1_22?ie=UTF8&qid=1324609238&sr=8-22
I noticed the case was for pre-order so I contacted the seller and asked if there is anyway I can get this case sooner. They were very professional and told me the case is in the final stages of production and should be released next week. After chatting some more and some butt kissing they gave me another coupon code for $3.00 off! The case comes out to around $11.90 shipped which I thought was an amazing STEAL!
I think the coupon code still works. This was a personal coupon code so I do not know when they will shut it down (Don't kill me if it doesn't work. Heck, its still worth a try!). Add the item to cart and enter promo code " ASUSPRME " at check out. ENJOY!

don't mean to be a party pooper...I had the same case for my og xoom. It is quite thickening and the propping up mechanism is less han stellar. I would save your money for something else.
I jumped in it too.. had on for my xoom and while it does add bulk.. it also adds protection and for 11 bucks, how can you go wrong

I could care less about the bulk.I had the motorola folio case for my xoom.I accidentally dropped my xoom while it was in the folio case on to the concrete upon getting out the car.I was certain the screen was cracked into pieces.But the folio case took most of the impact & saved my xoom.Imagine something like that happening to you $500+ Prime....Get the case.You can always take it out when you want to show it off.
I ordered one.
The case looks really nice. I might jUSSR order this also if I dont see a better case. this is a great deal. I wonder if Targus HAs made any cases for Prime yet. I HAve the Targus Trus case for my iPad and is really nice and provides maximum protection.
I agree with demandarin. What good would a case be if there is no protection?? Stay protected kiddies lol
There are very nice cases from Zenus ( http://www.zenuscase.net/gallaxy-tab/galaxy-tab2.html ) and I am thinking of getting one when my Transformer Prime arrives, however these are for the Galaxy 10.1.
Since the dimensions are similar I was wondering if anyone knows if these cases will fit.

I would not think a iPad case is compatible with the asus transformer prime as the device dimensions are different.
The reson i asked about the zenus cases for the samsung galaxy tab "10.1" is because the general form factor is close (with slight differences in width).

word. just ordered one as well. nice find, kind of a leather case combined with a smart cover.
Before you start to order stuff, what if you want to just hold onto the tablet with your hand and NOT use the stand? Looks like you will have a large flopping cover to deal with which looks to be a pain in the butt. There will be times I want to use my tablet on the go and not use a stand at all...the last thing I want to deal with is the cover getting in the way. Maybe that's why they don't post any pictures of it in a NON stand way? There will be much more out there soon once the tablet picks up pace.
Eh... I had one similar on the xoom and it was fine. You fold it behind. Point is you will most always use the lap angle
Nice! I bought one and will (hopefully) get it this Friday. I just want something to add some protection. This is the only one I've seen that is shipping now. There were only 9 left so I ordered one.

Just ordered one overnight, 3.99 with Amazon prime. .
Looks nice. Once all the issues are ironed out on the prime this may be the case to get.
Reminds me of the ipad 2 cover except this looks much more professional. Definitely ordering one.
My SGSII HercuDom needs more w00t. It always needs more w00t!
Mine will be here tomorrow, i'll post pics and let you know how it is.
looks to be everything i wanted.. smart cover angles, back protection and thin.
I ordered one when it said in stock... when I went to the item just now it says in stock January 1st.... Does this mean our orders won't ship? Or does it mean they ran out after our order and we are safe? OR-Will we not get this for another week?
This is just like Waiting to get the Prime all over again.
Mine is in route.. Have the tracking number
Mine didn't ship today... my guess is that it should ship tomorrow, because it does not say on my order that it will not ship until Jan 1st.. we shall see

Anybody have experience with both of these cases for the older TF101? They've got the same type of case for the Prime and I'm wondering if there's a difference in quality between the two brands.

Gotcha. They must've ran out of stock.
I've used Poetic cases on many devices, and love them. I prefer this slim folio style case, as I hate anything covering my bezel or the front of the tablet. Last one I used was for the TouchPad, and it was excellent.
Also, if you compare the two, I much prefer the cutouts on the Poetic. Notice the speaker grille left uncovered? That's a must with the Prime IMO.
Anywho...mine should be here monday / tuesday...will report my findings.

Looks like it to me.
I am need of a case bad and these two are on my list with two others. The cheaper the better. There is a Roocase and a Roocase executive and then there is this Moko one and one other one I saw listed. But these two here in this thread are 9.95 and I like that price but I too am wondering which is better they look the same to me too. Is the speaker covered up in the Verteks one someone mentioned the speaker and said they went with the poetic one. I just want everything to be accessible with cutouts and I want it to stand for watching movies and I want to be able to use the tablet while it's in the case too. Some say with pullout sleeve what does that mean? I am getting tablet tues or wed and really need to decide on a case now.
They are the same case. I personally don't like them and neither did my wife who is returning her's. You have to pop the bottom of the tablet out of the hooks to have it sit in the grooves, then pop it back in to have it be flat in the case for closing. It is a heavier duty case for protection IMHO than some of the others. Also you snap the hook over the prime for closing it. I feel that eventually these hooks will loosen especially the bottom ones for angled viewing.
edit I did by the MOKO one and like it alot especially the magnetic closure which is not immediately obvious from the description/picture on Amazon. Read the reviews

I guess you can't really recommend me one since you haven't tired them all so maybe I'll do the Moko too since you like it. Is it easy to take in and out? Looking at pics of the Moko so does it just slide in and not clip on like the others? I may like that better. I posted some other links to for advice but may do Moko now. How does it work for the stand the back just folds different ways? I know this one case Roocase Executive had an actual built in stand but you couldn't angle it different ways I don't think.

The roocase has an executive one but it's 35 bucks but it zips up and i kind of like it

The regular Roocase is 25 bucks maybe it's good

And I heard people mention this one for 14.95

Sorry I know this was about the Verteeks and the Poetic but now I may rule those two out. Which one sounds the best to you? I do want it to be easy to take in and out and have all plugs speaker and stuff not covered. I want it to stand good for watching movies and even stand both ways and be able to use it while it's in the case maybe the top will fold back but if not it's ok.
Thanks for your reply

They are the same case. I personally don't like them and neither did my wife who is returning her's. You have to pop the bottom of the tablet out of the hooks to have it sit in the grooves, then pop it back in to have it be flat in the case for closing. It is a heavier duty case for protection IMHO than some of the others. Also you snap the hook over the prime for closing it. I feel that eventually these hooks will loosen especially the bottom ones for angled viewing.

edit there i also another older thread here that other people have got it and posted pics. It has a velcro closure on the bottom that slides inside the back to secure it. I will be getting the roocase exec. for work when it comes out

I'm not a fan of cases that cover the bezel. I had a case similar to the Verteks and Poetic for my Gtab and loved it. If those hooks eventually loosen, it's not really a big deal since the cases aren't that expensive.
