Hey guys not sure if anyone is interested in a case that makes your tablet look like a book but if you are, Just put in your requests so they can make it for the Prime. I myself like the composition notebook one.
See it here:

Hello I was just browsing your site and I really like what your product seems to offer. Will you be making any for the Asus Transformer Prime in the future?

Currently there are no plans to make a case for that model. However, the more requests we get the more likely we will make it.
I gotta admit, that's pretty cool. Kinda useless if you have a dock but cool still.
Got one of these for my fruitpad. Great quality cases. Ill put in a request.
They look really nice. As you have one to reference, how much thickness do they add, roughly, compared to the thickness of the enclosed device?
I hope our 2 requests makes them run to make them lol
bump................
I like it, however I like the BookBook case better!! I wish they make it for the prime.
I had a dodo case on my ipad 2
http://www.dodocase.com/collections/dodocase
I like the BOOKBOOK and DODO as well but we need to request them to make these and they will need many requests is the point
Cmon guys a little help here. Write in even if you dont want it. We only have 1 choice as of now a leather portfolio
I just emailed them, hopefully more people do the same!
Lets hope they do
My coworker has this. Seems pretty cool but kind of thick (bout 3/4 inch) however very light. Another thing you might wanna know is it doesn't prop up so basically its just acts as a case. The inside frame is wood with rubber in each corner to hold the I pad. Seems pretty secure as he had a hard time taking it out to show me the case.

As my attempt to organize a group buy was closed I might try the tegratab forum to start one there.
The case is still in the mail but I hope to have it soon.
I will post pictures of the original dock later today because I have to run out for a bit. The dock I hope will be in the mail soon but as I mentioned before.. it's expensive.
Here are the pictures of the official malata dock.
Sorry, forgot to post them yesterday.
I like the looks of the dock. What types of connections does it have on he back?
it's the same connections as the copy version on taobao.
1 x ethernet (10/100)
1 x HDMI 1.2
1 x USB
1 x Power
I hope to have more info on this soon.
looks nice....i am about to buy the tab from Sears, would love to know the price of the dock, is this the official dock ? how much did it cost and from where?
It's the official malata zpad dock but I don't have it yet. Unfortunately the pricing is like $65 so I don't know if I will order it because that's a but on the high side for me too.
The sample case will be arriving Thursday (Dec 2nd) if customs doesn't slow it down any more.
I'm sorry..
Sorry my friend, maybe my mistakes Caused your post has been closed.
You will be get the sample tomorrow?please give me a
information.
The case was just delivered but UPS!
All the work has paid off!! It's a perfect fit for the g-tablet.
Will get some pictures online tonight and start a group buy at a different place.
Here are the pictures with the g-tablet in the case.
Case is made out of real leather (smells better then chemicals) and the inside is a soft suede to protect the tablet.
The viewing angle works perfect for me and when I am looking at the screen I don't have any problems with the bad viewing angles of the g-tablet which is a big plus.
It's very sturdy and even sitting it on books or an uneven surface won't make it tip over.

Is there a version of this without that click flap/strap thing? I'm looking for something really simple like the apple made one for the ipad which is similar in design but doesn't have that clumsy clasp thing. Thanks.
If you want one without the strap then I think that would be possible yes.
It's a fairly custom product.
I'd also prefer without the clasp. Since you have one, can you see whether it is easily removed or unstitched?

It's the sample..maybe have the one without click flap/strap.instead of Built-in magnets.and,the part of the standing can also be changed into scaffolding. cut into the bottom bracket from the case.
I would love to get one which is custom made for the tablet? How much is it to get it delivered in Florida/USA?
It's not allowed to sell here but send me a PM and I can give you more info.
Case looks great Agreed. Smaller clasp with magnet instead of snaps would be ideal.
How long would it take to get a batch made in such a way?
I'll arrange for one without the clasp/strap.
I would like one without the clasp/strap also
I'm curious to see what it looks like without that clasp/strap. I'm very intrigued by this case, it looks really good.
I'll try to get more info on the options and if without is actually possible.
To give my 2 cents. I wasn't crazy about the clasp either from the first pictures and that it sticks out when sitting down. Now that I actually have the case I wouldn't want it without it. It feels solid when closed and looks very nice. Everyone their own choice
I'll see what info I can get.
I'm trying to get a place together to organize the group buy so hang in there.
For more info just PM me and I will try to get back to you as soon as possible.
Thanks!
My wife and I teamed up and made a leather case for my G-Tablet. Turned out pretty good. Used an old second-hand leather jacket that was given to me years ago for free that I never wore, a book from work that somebody was throwing away and cut it up for the covers, and a little elastic we had laying around. We had enough leather from the old jacket to make two cases actually, and I am finishing the second one. I used a downsized 3 ring binder for the second one and it will be nice also. Here are some pics of the first one...
Wow, that looks really, really good. I'd buy that if it was available lol.
Nice work, looks classy.
Looks good
Thats a good idea. Nice
Thanks for the comments! It is holding up well with daily use. Her idea to put the seam across there. People see me carrying it now and have been asking me "Is that iPad?" Then I say what it is and open the case...which always seams to lead to people having no clue that there were other viable tablets out there. Then I show em the speed and interface and tell them the differences, and they are usually wondering why iPads cost so much more... BTW - I sold my new 4th gen iPod touch to buy the G-tablet and have not regreted it
Good job!

Love this part
Great Leather case too!
Very impressive, I just wish I was a better tailor. How many hours did it take you for each?
Wow, that is very nice. You guys got skills! Maybe beter then my nunchuck skills...
Great Job. You should look to mass produce it. I would get one too.
Looks nice
Wow, I had to resurrect this thread. That case looks super cool. I'm sure you don't have a lot of time on your hands, but would you mind giving me/us a brief Tutorial on how to make one? I would really love to try it out.
Thanks,
Scott
Now that's some Suzy Homemaker gangsta sh*t right there! LOL
I have trouble sewing a button onto my shirt. Nothing but props.
That is so awsome! Not only do you have a personalized cover you can be proud of, but you reused something that were otherwise useless. Its green and classy!
how much leather do you think you used?
I wonder if he sold his tablet. No responce yet :-(
I was at Fry's today and decided to look at cases. They had none for the Asus but they had one for the Toshiba 10.1 Tablet. I did not have the EEE with me but I went ahead and got it. List was $59.99 but they matched online price so I got it for about $42. Here it is:
http://www.amazon.com/Toshiba-Thriv...?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1309054174&sr=1-11
So far I love it - it fits well and has access to all the important stuff (except camera). I don't know if I will keep it. I also love the quality and the fact that it rotates 90 degrees from Portrait to Landscape.
It does say TOSHIBA on it but that is also a good thing - if it said ASUS there would be a much bigger chance that it would get stolen.....
Anybody else have this?
i bought a case for the Toshiba too from best buy, $40...lil different from yours but made for the same tablet...i am happy with it...it works just fine...excellent build quality too...no camera access without sum modifying but overall just wat i needed...

I really like that! been looking for a case which uses bumpers to hold the tablet. How well does it actually fit (is it slightly loose, too tight that it bends the clips slightly or just right?) and are the lengths good?
Any chance you could post pictures because I would really love to get this if it fits good!
I also forgot to ask if the holes for docking the keyboard are unobstructed?

lol lol lol lol
Definitely interested in seeing pictures of this. I bought the case that Staples has, but I'm not satisfied with it at all.
Bumping this thread. Has anyone else tried this case? Have any pics to share?
Looking at the specs, the Toshiba is 6mm taller (in landscape mode). Do the clips hold the TF securely? Thanks.
I just received it...very disappointing.
Hey everyone. I just wanted to let you know that I ordered this from Amazon thinking it would be a good fit. It was somewhat close, but it does not hold the TF securely. I could easily see the tablet sliding all the way out and hitting the floor if you were not paying attention. In fact, when in portrait mode the tab slides out on most of the angles. There are some fairly big gaps.
I have uploaded some pictures, so hopefully they will illustrate some of the issues.
It is also poorly put together. The tab that snaps in place was loose. I barely pulled on it and it came out somewhat such that now it is off angle and no longer lines up naturally to secure the tab.
On the plus side, it would leave openings for accessing anything you needed to and also folds down flat so you could just use it in your hands.
Bottom line, I am sending it back.
Hope this helps others who where/are interested.
^^^
Feel bad for you man, never understood the attraction with the clip type cases, those things are made of plastic, one involuntary quick movement and this thing could send the Tf flying. The wrap around cases are much better at overall protection.
It's not a big deal. I know that I am picky and was fairly sure I would be sending it back. I didn't have enough experience with these to even know about the clip type cases, so I am glad that I now know to avoid them in the future. I mostly just wanted to let the few people that had bumped this post know that the product was maybe not so good and provide the pictures that had been requested.
I actually like the clip style. I just wish there were options similar to those that the iPad has, where the back is basically a plastic shell that clips. My wife has a Targus case for her iPad2 that does this. Personal preference, I guess. I wouldn't be against a non-clip case if it was very well implemented. I picked up the Solo case from Staples as a temporary measure until some more options are available. Works OK, but I really don't like the corner-cover means of securing the tablet.
is it keyboard-compatible like the other tuff luv cases? how much did you pay for it, where did you get it? does it come with a screen protector?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
I dont have the case but I strongly assume that if you buy the keyboard-compatible hemp one its made on exactly the same lines as the Pu and real leather ones. Why shouldnt it fit?? And as tuffluv doesnt really have resellers there is only one price, although if you almost go through to the end with the buy and then close the window (having entered your email address somewhere) tuffluv usually sends you a 10% code after about 2 hours to get you to buy the case.
hi
I ordered one yesterday.. will post a couple of pictures for you when I receive also review. There is a thread started earlier if you want to look. A couple of people have received the hemp case saying it was very good. I ordered mine via quidco any got 10% cash back. Wish I had known about a possible 10% code.
I bought a cheapish plastic case from ebay already. Hoping this hemp case will be worth the extra cash.....
Mine should be on the way as well... Will try to post back once I've spent a few days with it.
where did you guys buy it from? the tuffluvusa website doesn't seem to have it, and if i were to buy, i would like to do that coupon trick...
they're just a bit too expensive it seems.

There's a good review of the "veggie leather" one on transformerforums: http://www.transformerforums.com/forum/asus-transformer-accessories/2508-review-book-style-keyboard-case-asus-eee-transformer-3.html
Please delete - unintentionally posted same info in post #3
I bought one. They are very well made and cleverly designed to work with or without the keyboard. In the end, however, I sent mine back as it added too much bulk and made the whole thing quite heavy. Perfect if you're not bothered about that. Certainly seemed to provide a lot of protection.

I have one as well--Hemp/chocolate. Full tab and keyboard case.
I agree that it adds some bulk and weight when the tab is docked to the keyboard and the whole case is on. I don't mind it though, because it does add a lot of protection. Also, with just the tab and its case, it's not too heavy, and makes it easier to hold for extended periods.
Overall the build quality of the case is incredible--you definitely get your money's worth here, even though it's rather expensive. The materials are very good, the stitching is excellent, and everything lines up and works exactly as it should. I wouldn't hesitate to buy the case unless you're looking for something slim and trim.
Forgot to add--you can dock the keyboard to the tab and leave off the keyboard case if you want to reduce bulk--the regular tab case will close over it and mostly protect it while closed.

Do you mind posting some pictures? I would love some that give a closer look at the hemp material.
The only sticking point on the design of this case is that stand on the back. I've never really been a fan of those. Can you take a picture of the hinge for the stand? I wonder how hard it would be to take it off... Yes I understand that would leave the snaps bare, but I think I have a work around for that.
+1 on the pics
mind doing some without the keyboard case? it does look a bit chunky without it. i figured if i get the non-keyboard version, i'd save some money, and keep the device fairly slim.
I'm actually in the other camp. I think that it will be fine without the keyboard case, but am more interested in some pics with it. If anyone can take a few minutes to just post images (with and without the kb case) that would be great. No need for another full review since I assume the build quality is as solid as other users have claimed.
still interested in pictures?
My tuff luv hemp case for tablet and keyboard ust arrived. So if anybody still interested i'll make some pictures

Yes please. Just need to decide between the Leather or Hemp. I'd like to save the loot if the Hemp one looks nice. Your opinion of the material would also be appreciated.
here are some photos
Enjoy the pictures. Let me know if you want specific photos
The material feels very nice. And it feels very well protected in the case. But it does put on some weight and size. Acceptable to me but could turn off others.
It also looks very nice.

Can you post pics of the stand and how it stay closed? THX
The stand is attached with snaps. This allows the keyboard add on to snap in between the stand flap and the back cover.
I would love one picture of the left indide cover. From the first image, it appears that the flap and other pieces are black. Is that leather or fake leather or something else?
I'm pretty much sold on this and will order mine tonight. Thank you VERY MUCH for the extra images.
Hi everyone,
I just bought my Transformer Prime last week, and I am faced with a major dilemma. I'm scared to death that I'm going to drop it, so I've been using the case I bought for my granddaughter's original Transformer. It doesn't quite fit, but it works.
I'm trying to decide how to protect my new tablet. I like the look of leather and a well-padded case would provide good protection, and the ones with stands are very utilitarian. However, it would be a shame to cover up such a beautiful device! (After all, its good looks are one of its strong selling points.)
Has someone found a good solution for protecting their tablet while still being able to show it off?
(I apologize if this question has already been answered; if so, please just point me to a link. Sometimes it's really hard to find the right search terms.)
Thanks!
I have ordered the case shown in link below. In my case I have the Dock also and this seems to me the Best available. Though this might not be what you need thought I would at least post it for you.

Since we have an Accessories Forum for the Transformer Prime that discusses accessories like cases, created for or compatible with the Transformer Prime, you might look there for answers first.
This thread in the Accessories forum would be a good place to start:
Ultimate Transformer PRIME TF201 Accessory Guide
Check out this one
This is the one I will be sporting once it is available... April 16...

I've got a simple 10" laptop/tablet neoprene sleeve. The prime fits nicely inside it with or without the dock attached. Apart from that i dont have any protection on it right now and its been working well for me. Having it for 2 months now and i dont have any scratches. And i have it with me most of the times in my backpack or guitarcase.

Forgive me if someone already posted, but I bought a leather case from Best Buy made by a well known name..Targus.
It does offer great protection and has the stand built in, a nice velvet/cashmir type fabric inside. I don't have the link but it's the only one that the Best Buy by me had so I grabbed it. It was $40.00
This ISN'T my Transformer Prime
Yeah there are a lot to choose from on Amazon.com. This is the one I went with, I'm happy overall:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0063Q3G3I/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details
Thanks!
Thank you, RonH54. That looks like a very nice case. The problem is that although the front of the keyboard is visible, the back of the keyboard and pretty much everything on the tablet itself is pretty much covered--so no one can see how nice it looks. (My dilemma....)
I'm also a little concerned about the very negative review I saw there!
joedeveloper, the Moko also looks very nice, but also has the same issues. And Pixelation, I haven't seen the Targus case, but I assume it covers the tablet as well. Am I right? And finally, Gage_Hero...!!!! What can I say? That looks like a pretty extreme solution. I don't plan to treat my tablet in a way that I would need anything like that.
almightywhacko, thank you for the link. I had already seen it, and looked at most of the cases there, but got discouraged because they all looked pretty much the same and all covered the tablet so you couldn't see it. I tried to post my question in the Accessories Forum first, but was told that I was breaking forum rules by posting a question there and that I needed to post in the Q&A forum--so here I am.
I've never seriously considered a sleeve, but clouds5, thanks for the suggestion. There are several listed in the Accessories Forum thread, so I intend to look at them. That might be the best compromise, because the tablet would be protected when it most needed it, but would be on display when I was actually using it.
The only other option that has occurred to me is a clear case. Something like the Invisible Shield wouldn't provide enough impact protection (although I would need something like that for the screen to prevent scratches)--but there might be a clear case out there that is more protective. Has anyone seen something like that?
Again, thanks to everyone for your contributions. You have given me some new ideas. (Sorry to be so slow--I've tried several times to post over the past couple of days, but kept being told that "the token had expired", whatever that means!)
I have 6 cases. I am not kidding. 6.
Like you, I have a tf101 sleeve that works for basic thin protection (given to me by a friend that didn't like it for their og). I have a neoprene case (another give-me). I have a non-tf202 specific hard-ish case made by CaseLogic that I like a lot because it will hold the tablet+dock and it is very durable. I have the MiniSuit linked to above for the tablet+dock and it sucks. Badly. They are a good company and they have done right by me, refunded my money, etc, but the design is horrible with a very basic flaw - the leather is way too thick where the dock meets tablet and that is just not going to be good over time. I have "modified" it with a pair of scissors so that it wont break my tablet+dock - it does make a nice case for carrying and using them both. I also have the MiniSuit 360 case. I really like that one because the tablet is detachable from the case.
IMO = The best one is the one joedeveloper linked to. Slim, good protection and really shows off the Prime. It is the only one that does not cover the bezel. It is very "configurable" and you can use the dock WITH it. I can be folded half way back and then half of the beautiful back is "shown".
I have the full body skinomi skin for my tablet and dock so I have that as added protection so I son't mind using my dock with that case because I know my dock wont get scratched. But i wont use that if I need to carry or travel with the dock, I'd use one of the other ones.
So...slugbug2010,
Let me make sure I understand you. You like the MoKo case "best" because it doesn't cover the bezel, but it doesn't give enough protection to travel with it? So you would recommend buying a second case for traveling with it (in addition to a full-body skin)?
I can't tell from looking at it and reading about it on Amazon if it covers the keyboard, or just the tablet itself. If it covers both, can the two pieces be separated? If it doesn't cover the keyboard, I'd need to have a separate sleeve or something to protect it.
Can you and joedeveloper elaborate a little more, please?
Thanks!
You can get some balls for your Eee pad if you are afraid of dropping it.
http://iballz.info/universal.html
Reading your post again, it looks like you want a clear TPU case like this one made for the iPad http://www.amazon.com/CrazyOnDigital-Accessories-Cover-Retail-Package/dp/B004RRU7NM
However sadly no company has yet stepped up to the task of making such a case. Theoretically a TPU case would provide decent drop protection and not alter the look of the tablet much. And since it is so thin it would work well with a sleeve for added padding when not in use.
Yes, the TPU case looks like it might be along the lines of what i want--but it appears that I'm out of luck.
texstar, the iBalls are a really interesting concept (despite the name). I'm thinking they might be the perfect thing for my granddaughter's Transformer, providing some protection and leaving the tablet easier to use than the traditional case I already have for her.
As far as using them with my Prime--they certainly would expose the tablet itself, but I'm not sure I like the "quirky" look mentioned by some of the reviewers. It's also not clear whether or not they might cover up some of the ports and controls.
If your post was a serious one, do you own them? Has anyone tried them on your tablets?
Joedeveloper and Slugbug2010, are you still there? I really like the Moko case, but it's tablet only. The Minisuit looks nice, too, but seems to be thicker than what I'm looking for. I think I need a combination of the two....
Those of you who are using the Moko and have a dock, do you have a separate case for it, use a sleeve, or just leave it unprotected?
Thanks again for all your help.
