Has anyone purchased this silicone case from Amazon?
http://www.amazon.com/iShoppingdeal...2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1317307713&sr=1-2
I ordered one yesterday and I'm hoping it's better than the silicone case I got from China. It's ok but just a little loose. The picture of the case on Amazon looks different so I figured I'd give it a shot since the price was reasonable.
No, but thanks just ordered it. The targus portfolio case is nice for most of the time, but I'm looking for something for around the house.
It's already sold out.
I thought it might go out of stock after people realized it was on Amazon. As stated in my op - the one I ordered from China off ebay is a little to loose. The cutouts are great but I'm looking for something a little tighter.
I can't see the price since it's unavailable. How much did you guys buy it for? Was it better than Sikai's price of $17.00?
I'm not so sure on the design. Back looks kind of weird, Sikai has a grippy texture like micro-cobblestone. Also the Sikai case comes up around the trim of the screen farther than this one. This one looks like an iPad silicone case I bought a year ago that had this thin lip where the edges are and it would fall out extremely easily.
The Sikai case isn't loose at all, it might be based on when you bought it or what color but the clear one I bought is tight as a glove with literally no probability of falling out even holding it one handed. It's very well made.
Case is $10.95 and I have Amazon Prime so shipping was free for me. Maybe I should have phrased my comments regarding the Sikai case differently. I do like the texture of the Sikai case and how much of the TF it actually covers but when I go to pull it out of my bag the edge along the face moves way too easily. Granted it isn't loose to the point of it falling off on its own but it also shouldn't come out with a minor movement - only if I'm trying to remove it intentionally.

The good thing about this silicone case is it also fits the keyboard dock, given you're willing to do some cutting. So, I got 2 pieces, one covering the tablet and one covering the keyboard dock. I'll post a picture tomorrow as I'm too lazy now.
Iso, when you get it can you do a review side by side with the Sikai case and point out the differences and faults?
Has anyone tried this case? What are your opinions on it. The only thing I feel is lacking is a kickstand to angle your tablet towards you, like the journal/portfolio type cases do.anyone haves solution for this? Or know of a case similar to the aegis that will do what I'm describing?

I've. Read that review. Its one thing to read a review written after one day's use and another to hear the opinion of someone who's been using it for a while.
But I'm still looking for a similar kind of case with a kick stand.
I have one and I really like it. I love the detachable stylus holder. I can remove it when I want to game or otherwise use the tablet in landscape mode. It does offer good protection.
How much bulk does it add? Does it collect a lot of dust?
I ordered one and I should be getting it today or tomorrow. I'll update this thread with a quick opinion soon.

I posted a long reply with a link to a picture I took of the case and when I posted, told me I can't post links yet and nuked my whole reply..
(Ok, had some food and time to retype my post)
I've been using one for about a month now, I tried a few of the protective "hard use" cases out there hunting for the most protection I could find for my View but had no luck till I found the Aegis.
Overall its been great, I'm ultimately waiting for the Defender from Otterbox to come out as I need the most protection I can get for my device but this will do nicely till then for the most part.
They did a good job of of making the case fit the Evo View tightly, making for a pretty svelte case for the amount of protection it gives.
One small thing about the fit, the bottom lip of the silicon part catches on things sometimes and has developed a tiny bit of sag because of it but it's nothing major. I can't post links yet but if you look at the pic I posted at umf dot net/View/View_Aegis.jpg you can see the slight sag in the rubber part along the bottom edge of the screen (hope the pictures not too blurry)
As far as smudges, its held up pretty well on the rubber parts, some smudging but most of it "rubs" out with my finger if I really wanted to clean it. The hard plastic parts of course look pretty much new but then again I put the device
inside a small Maxpedition pouch before throwing into my pack so I don't exactly "abuse" the case.
So all in all, while its not Defender or Ballistic HC level of protection, for the minimal bulk it adds it's still a very sturdy case and works great for "around town" I still plan to purchase a Defender case for "in the field" type activities (hopefully Pelican or Otterbox will come up with a water/crush proof case to fit 7" tablets into for more "extreme" activities) but I am very satisfied with the Aegis as well and will continue to use it whenever I don't need that ultra level of protection (or bulk) that the Defender will provide.
Hope this helps!

Thanks a lot! I acutally ordered mine a few days ago, and I expect it to come tomorrow. I'm replacing this leather folio case for the Aegis. One thing I will really miss is the flap that covers the screen as well as the ability to have the tablet angled up like a stand. Its very convenient when I'm reading at a desk or watching a movie.
Yea I guess that's the main reason I still kinda baby the View while in the Aegis case, the screen feels vulnerable. A hard plastic cover that snapped on the front that also somehow snapped on the back and provided a kickstand would pretty much cover all the bases.
I just ordered one, should be here tomorrow. Got tired of waiting for Otterbox to get their **** together. Would love to see Ballistic make a case for it, but they probably wouldn't see a return on the investment of case design and manufacture for this tablet.
Got it!! It's a little fiddley around the volume and power buttons, but once you get that worked out, it's not a bad case!
yea I posted on both Otter and Ballistics Fb pages and at first both said no, was happy to see Otter decide to make a defender but yea, a Ballistic HC style case is what I would really like so I can just toss it in my pack without a second thought.
I have a Trident case and it is OK...not as heavy duty as a Kraken case or even a Cyclops but my 5 year old stood on it and has tossed it around a bit on the carpet and it has been fine. Was I upset? Yes! The case is more for protecting against scratches and light bumps....not for a little rockstar in the making!
I own the aegis case and it's nice. Keeps my device safe and i paid $25 for it from Amazon. Looking forward to a defender series but in no hurry now

I was hoping for a Cyclops series Trident case but since Aegis is all they offer I grabbed it from amazon for $25 and I'm pretty happy with it.
It was a bit of a pain to get the hard plastic shell over the silicone case (I entered hboot several times) but since I've had it on, I really like it. I just wish they didn't leave that bit of an exposed area if you don't use the stylus mount.
I was between the army green, red or cyan blue, and went with the cyan blue. I like the contrast, and it looks great.
Good
thanks but plz learn me
Just got my dock yesterday (love it!) but it's not compatible with the leather case that I'd been using for the tablet only. I've seen the dock+tablet leather cases that people have posted but they add so much bulk to the device! Is anyone else using/planning to use the dock+tablet without a case or screen protector? What have been your experiences? Is the backside riddled with scratches? I've got a simple netbook pouch to carry it around in but beyond that I just don't see a good solution for protecting it. Just wanted to get some input and hopefully confirmation that I'm not making a huge mistake!
If your looking for great protection with the dock included and little to no bulk try the skinomi skins!
http://www.skinomi.com/astrpr.html
The metal scratches easily so yes. I'm getting the skinomi with a sleeve for mine. Already have 2 small scratches on the back.
I just use a netbook sleeve that I made myself using felt and padding

im using a swiss sleeve from walmart right now, i have a minisuit full case for dock and tablet on preorder. i dont feel its necessary for a case right now. think of laptops, most of us dont have bulky cases around our laptops, just a carrier bag to put them in.
I just use a netbook sleeve myself. When it's out and in use its unprotected. I have a few scratches on the back but really not that worried about it. It's a tool and going to see some normal wear and tear. Anytime I take it anywhere I have it in the dock and closed and the screen is still pristine and I expect it to stay that way. Have had gorilla glass on both my past phones and never had any kind of case on them and never a scratch which is impressive considering its in and out of my pockets all day.
Not at all why pay money for a case when you can get a 2 year full coverage accidental warranty from square trade for 69.99? Check my thread in general for more information

So my Poetic cases arrives today, bought 2 of them. Looking at them, they are really nice. Putting the Tablet in the case looked nice and all the holes lines up perfect, I was able to charge the tablet while in the case with no issues. This is "almost" the perfect case with one major flaw, the hand strap inside is too thick and when you snap the case closed, and open it after a minute, it leaves a really bad impression in your screen from the hand strap. Lucky I have a screen guard on so I am pretty sure it did not damage the actual screen. Also, due to the hand strap the case will not lay flush when closed. My wife and I are really disappointed, it was almost the perfect case. When already contacted the seller and are going to try and send them back.
Shame you have to send it back, but anything that messes with a tablet's screen is definitely a no go!
Just a quick update, we bought them through Amazon, but it was a reseller we actually bough them from. Returning them sounded like a pain, so we decided it was not worth our time. What we did was used a sewing stitch remover and removed the sticking around from the hand strap and removed the hand strap. The case actually works pretty well now. If I have time tonight, I will take picture of before and after (we have only modified one case so far, but plan to do the other).

Id def like to see pics if you get a chance please. Thinking about ordering and removing the hand strap as well. Was going to order the Moko one which is the same minus the strap but the in stock date keeps getting pushed back
I have the same case, and the same issue. I wrote a review here about the case and the strap. I also dont like the strap, as a matter of fact I have the same case for my Galaxy tab also, and the strap left an indention into the screen protector so I stopped using it. There are a few cases exactly like it that dont have the strap. Moko, Blurex, and a Minisuit, but the Minisuit one is not available until June 13th, but I highly recommend the Minisuit, after the issue with the poetic case on my galaxy Tab I bought the Minisuit without the strap and its the only case I use now. Im going to order one of the one listed here because I now have the exact same screen protector on my 300 and I dont want to handstrap the damage it.
Moko Case
I have the moko case from amazon. It works great. Fairly lightweight, yet feels very solid. Kickstand works great. The onlyslight problem is if you want to charge it while it is standing up, you have to put it in upside down, and the camera is blocked. But this is mainly ASUS's fault and it works perfect otherwise.
I ended up pitching these cases in the trash. I though removing the handstrap would make this a great case, but I took it out last night and noticed where one of the hooks are the screen and plastic is marred. Funny I bough a case to keep my tablet in pristine shape and this cases is what has caused my Damage.

I just got this case this morning and Im impressed to be honest.. but I dont know how the hand strap was making marks on your screen due to the fact on mine it is snug when closed but the strap isnt touching the screen

Wow. I cant see how it doesnt touch on yours. It so tight on mine it bulges out where the strap is. I ended up removing the strap, didnt like it so I ordered this blurex one here that is the same kind minus the strap.

Same issue, the case would bulge where the hand strap was, and when it was closed for a hour or more, when I opened the case, I could literally see indentations of where the stitching was and the line of the hand strap on my screen guard.

That is exactly what happened on my Galaxy Tab 7.7, thankfully the marks went away. But the bulge was always there, and caused a lot more pressure on the screen. My Blurex is out for delivery today. Ill update with pics later.
I havent even closed it with the case on for Id say no more than 30 mins as its either on the dock or I have it propped open with the case. When its making marks on your screen are these naked screens or do you have a screen protector on them?
I have a screen guard, one of invisible shield types where you apply them wet.

On mine it was with a XtremeGuard screen protector. Which is basically a cheaper Zagg.
Got my Blurex case today. Its nice, but Im thinking I might return it. I know things are usually tight when you first get them, but this is too tight. I had to push VERY hard to get the snap to close, and when it did it separated the trim from the case. The hook is just way too tight and should have been angled a little different so its not so hard to close. Take a look at the pic and youll see the snap hook Im talking about. And it wasnt just the closing hook, but all the others were very tight, without a lot of insulation/ padding which makes me think in time it will start scuffing the paint on the outer trim. The poetic case that I just got is the exact same style but has the hand strap, but it wasnt even close to as hard to snap in as this Blurex.
I really love these type of cases, but Im thinking I might have to go with a different style on my 300. I hate the look, but maybe one like this. Or Ill give this type one more try with the Minisuit case coming out on the 13th. I have a Minisuit just like it on my Galaxy Tab 7.7 and love it..
UPDATE: I was able to bend most of the tabs so that they arent so tight, but before I bent them I took a pic (pic#2)to show the difference in the hook from the Blurex case (top), and the Poetic case (bottom). If you look you can see that the poetic case is more round, and the Blurex has a sharper angle. This is why it was causing the bezel to pop off. But using my thumbs I was able to bend it enough that it doesnt pop it off, and closes ok now. I dont know if this was just mine, or if all the blurex cases do this. Added a few more pics as well.
Gam3r, I too like the "snap in" type cases. There doesn't seem to be a huge difference in quality from what I can see. Do you have any insight you'd like to share from the ones you have?
I recently got my TF300T and I'm looking for a hardshell case, as most of the ones I've come across are sleeves, huge rubber cases. I have found some "full" cases but they are made of leather. Any recommended cases? I will more than likely always have the dock on but it should have an easy release method if I need just the tablet.
Have you looked on Ebay or Amazon?
I'm gonna start looking for an actual hard case to carry mine in. I've been sliding it the laptop compartment of my backpack but I'm worried the screen is gonna get cracked. Matter of fact, I'm gonna go look at Ebay and Amazon right now.
If I see anything like what you're looking for I'll post you a link.
maybe something like this?

Something like a less heavy duty version of this: http://www.amazon.com/Heavy-Transformer-TF201T-Pad300-TF300T/dp/B008B11FB8/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1388019602&sr=8-16&keywords=tf300t+case?
I have the slim fit folio case and it's not that great
I have a leather case for both the tablet and the dock. It makes it like a little netbook when both are attached. Works quite well for me but then I am the only one to use the tablet and don't let it near any kids. I got it from Amazon. As I am on less than 10 posts I cannot but a link in here
