Are there any cases for the Prime in the UK yet? Amazon show a couple for pre-ordering, but none for sale now, and I can't find anyone else selling them. I am looking for one that can be used as a stand.

Those transcases look utter crap IMO ... take a look at my thread about the Poetic Blurex case ... and watch the video, i cant think of any reason anyone wouldnt want one !!
Sadly though i cant find one in the UK yet, but they cant be far away ... i hope lol

Getting this one delivered to France :

Just ordered it but I think the guy does free international shipping, and it's pretty cheap.
Since there's only pretty crappy cases for now I think it's a good deal, it gives you the choice to use the case or/and the sleeve, plus it has a pen and a screen protector. I'll post pictures when I get it (probably by the end of the week)

I haven't seen any decent cases for the Prime in the UK yet.
About the only decent thing I have seen is a Skinomi skin look here http://www.skinomi.com/sk9730-asus-transformer-prime-carbon-fiber-skin-protector.html however its from America.
There are some very good neoprene sleeves for 10.1" netbooks and Tablet Attaché cases from Case Logic that would fit the Prime and offer good protection - thats what I have been looking at anyway unless of course there is something better that can accommodate the Prime with keyboard attached.

Im reading here about many cqses but I just cant find the best. I need a case that lets every port open, looks nice , has multyangles and that it doesnt cost a lot. I need it as soon as posible becuse my tablet is hlme and its really hard to hold it for 3 hours in my hands Thank you.

Still wanting on a general consensus as well...I guess the "official case isn't getting good reviews...
Thank you all on your suggestions -.-. Anyway I think I will go fora microfibre case from amazon.
Here's a nice leather one for $19.95
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110709890057&hlp=false
IMO - Check out the rooCASE on Amazon if you want a multi-angle style. From what I can tell, it is the "Best" in terms of quality. There are a few other multi-angle cases out there such as what you find on eBay but they do not appear to be made as well. JMO but the ACase for example just looks really cheap in comparison.
I've ordered the roo case as well but it's taking foooooooorever to get here.
I think you might like this one. It has a lot of space, and it can actually detach if you don't want to hold on to the whole case while using it. This company gave me a free stylus since I ordered one of their cases. I love the black but if you want another color, then I think they have a brown too.
Hope this helps.

How do you like the Amazon case you linked to? I have been considering that exact one. What is your opinion? How sturdy is it? Is the rotary/detach option really useful? Debating between this an a standard leather case because seems more durable/protective but doesn't offer rotary feature or detaching case...
Thanks.

Thanks for that recommendation. Looks like it kinda gives you a tablet sleeve too, built in.
I don't use portrait mode very much, but the ability to detach is a huge plus. Is it possible to fold the flap all the way back, so you have the case still attached, but use the tablet as a handheld?
From the picture, it looks like it attaches to the case via a button...is that secure? I've seen others that use two velcro disks...those seem more secure.
I just purchased that one last night. I'll come back and share my thoughts once I receive it around early next week.
Edit: I got the brown one
Hi guys,

check out amazon.. there are a bunch of people that make ones like that and are under $20.
Poetic case
Poetic Case on Amazon
I just bought one... great quality and only 17 squid delivered ...
@ ^^
is the leather genuine or its just plether
No its proper leather ... with that nice proper leather smell
Have to say, its a really good case, i'm very impressed with the quality, and the price isnt bad either.
Its dockable with the case folded back and also has a cutout for the charger when closed.
Found a case that covers the Mobile Dock and Asus Transformer Prime Tablet.
http://pctabletcases.com/2012/01/18/minisuit-asus-transformer-prime-tf201-leather-keyboard-portfolio-stand-case-cover-for-tf201-mobile-dock-and-tablet/
looks kinda bulky and not that cool lol maybe i'll just get an invisibleshield or something similar to preserve the prime and keyboards slimness
That's in the ultimate accessory thread - it's exactly what I'm looking for but has anyone come across anything similar only less ugly?

A lot of these cases would be fine if they weren't fake leather. If for instance they were lightly texture vinyl instead or silicon. Fake leather electronics cases always feel so 1990 to me.
just bought one, hoping better cases come out like this -_-
oh well it was only $25

im hoping/praying it wont take that long, if im waiting that long, i hope some one will make a good case for it
Something like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqesTZRGwyQ&context=C38b7f16ADOEgsToPDskKBMFMK6BjkFCi6z3oqRqDJ would be perfect for my needs. Something I can proudly take to the office that doesn't look like it was purchased at the local Dollar Store.
Sorry for the rant but the lack of quality accessories for this tablet is killing me.
Apparently no one wants to put money into a device that may not even survive a few months. You will only get the low end stuff really. Everyone knows Apple is the real deal and isn't going anywhere....so it is a sure bet to invest. Remember, you don't need to sell Apple stock, it sells itself.
I have yet to buy one, but this is one of the few I have seen that says it is actual leather.
http://www.skindigitalstore.com/categories/ASUS-Transformer-Prime-TF201/
If you get one and like it let me know.
My friend has a roocase for his og nd its very nice.. Here is a link to one, but they make several. I like this one because the tablet is in a "detachable" sleeve. (I have a substantially similar version made by MiniSuit but it's very cheap leather - looks fine from any distance, but for $14 I know it's not good quality - it serves a purpose and looks fine for my needs.
Anyway..... check Roocase. I've seen and handled that brand and think it is nice. MUCH nicer than most anything else available. If you don't like it, return it.
I have the Caseen Skinny and it's great.
tuff-luv.com has some great albeit pricey leather cases for not only the Prime Tablet but also the Tablet and Keyboard.
The real question is: "Where are all the quality non-leather cases?"
There are tons of options for leather cases with varying degrees of quality, but there are practically no non-leather cases.
I have the cheaper poetic/mono case and it has been great. No complaints.

How is it only going to last a few months? They are releasing the tf 700 in a couple of months, but that will be the same size so if anything the lifetime will be expanded more that it normally would be.
Also this is a good case, I got the exact same type just from a different company called Acase, because it was cheaper priced.

I had the tuff-luv case for the TF-101 and the quality was really nice but it was more geared towards using the dock so the bottom edge was fully exposed.

Yes, I've been looking at this one but I'm cautious on pulling the trigger. Read a review on another forum and the quality of leather was in question.

I also looked at the Roocase but I am concerned of the thickness the case would add to the tablet.
I also purchased the Mini Suit case to hold me over and agree that it's made of very very very cheap looking pleather.
So my search continues
I bought this case off of eBay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/260938668106?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
I have several cases from this guy on our Kindles, Nooks, iPad and now TFP. Have had some for over a year and there are holding up great.
The two problems I have with this case is that it will not charge closed or when sitting in landscape as shown.
I was skeptical about different cases i kept finding online. But after taking a proper look at this one --> "GreatShield Multi-Stand Leather Protective Folio Case for ASUS TF201 Eee Pad Transformer Prime"
I went ahead and ordered it. It cost me 20pounds and was shipped from the US. In terms of quality, It is way better than any leather case for any tablet I have seen so far including those for the ipad (and I mean it). I asked someone @ my UNI to guess how much it cost me and he said "probably 70pounds". My point is, it is of the best quality, it looks sleek, professional and prestigious. Even better is the fact that it is tailor made for the transformer prime so all ports are accessible. Its design also doesn't cover up the bezel like most other tablet cases do (something i dislike with a passion).
I trust that if you go ahead and get it, you will not regret it. Here's the amazon UK link
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B006RML5ZO/ref=oh_o02_s00_i00_details
If you live in the US, you can search for it on amazon.com.
I hope this helps.
Cheers mate.
Thanks for the info jdeltree, unfortunately I have already purchased & tried this case
http://www.amazon.com/TF201-Transfo...3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1330033453&sr=1-3
which looks fairly similar and was not happy with the design. Used it for 10 minutes and went back to the cheap minisuit.
Most of my cases in the past did cover the bezel and I kind of got used to that.
I may just bite the bullet and try the Caseen one. At this rate I will end up with a drawer full of these cases in search for the right one.
Going to give the Acase another try tonight to see if I can get used to it.
The saddle leather one coming soon from tuff-luv looks promising. 99£, but saddle leather is a top quality product. Once a picture is available, ill probably order one, as long as I can get it to the states.
Sent from my CM7 Atrix 4G
Yea, I love the look of that saddle leather one. Very cool indeed.
There is a group buying of the rotating case:

"Quality Leather"
If you think that $10.00 is quality leather, or leather at all for that matter, then your standards are very low.
I have the caseen one, I'm pretty happy with it.. Doesn't add too much bulk but does add a good amount of protection. I feel the build quality is good too.

UGLY duckling. Also, they forgot to make holes for the speaker! A lot of cases apparently have forgotten to make holes for the speaker. I'm still using my Caseen Skinny case and I still love it.
Have been searching a long time for a slick, non-bulky case for TF201&dock. Today, I found one for the TF101 and am wondering if anyone has seen a similar one for the TF201.
The TF101 version can be found at:
hzhkkj[dot]com/product_show.asp?pid=1579&bigid=2&smallId=735
Would be the nicest case I have seen around!
Yes, I have one and it is very good. already use four days and was really mean something else. just did a search on ebay for sikai and prime and voila...
Edit: i don't use it with the dock... for me the dock is just for extra batery. I prefer a thin case like this without the leather
Just ordered the case, with free shipping from:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190638465174#ht_6644wt_1043
Will do a review once received.

I'm hoping that it will be similar to the TF101:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16989142&postcount=56
Even if it isn't, I was thinking of getting a separate case for tablet and dock anyway...
Ehmmm...I hope not... That's Fugly!!!
Don't want a whole rim around the front-end and what's up with that flap over the dock?
Just got an update over the mail of the seller (/maker?) of the TF101 version: The Tf201 version is going into production!!! I'll get an update as soon as they are for sale...Keep you posted!
It's in production!

I Love the look of this case.
So much, I want to order one myself.
Price looks great as well ($31)
Trying to register was a pain to start with.
Once that was done I received a very unclear activation email.
The so called English on the site itself and the email was real bad.
After that, I tried to go back to the website to order my goodies.
But all I get is a page loading error.
Finally I decided to quit .
I even feel uncertain now about the website at this moment.
I might (hope) to be wrong but at this moment I want to wait and see how your order ends.
Please update once you receive yours, because I really like the look,of it.
Good luck !!!
Yeah....that site isn't really good, just use the E-Bay site: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sikai-leath...840246?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2c64829436
It's also cheaper there....

Thanks a lot for your reply.
I ordered one right away.
23 euros and free shipping, seems a great deal !!!
Just got the case today and so far I am happy with it. I like the feel of the case and it does not add much weight since it has been made from a light weight material.
The cut-outs all line up and the quality is good. Just tried taking some photos and there doesn't seem like there is a problem (I know that the cut-out can sometimes affect the flash). What I also like about the case is that I can access the charge port easily.

Lol, I think I agree with you after a second look at it. I ended getting a separate Case Logic tablet bag and just received my Sikai case today. Tried it with the dock but it really does look ugly and it's not very functional since the flap covers part of the keyboard.

I just got my Sikai case it. It is pretty sharp looking!
For me the best feature is that it doesn't look like leather or fake leather. It has a nice minimalist modern appearance to it that doesn't feel pretentious but woudl work well in a corporate environment.
