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.

I haven't received the case yet. However, I ordered the same one from Amazon.com and it seems like they are doing a sale so it is a lot cheaper

I ordered this one as well. Hoping that it and the tablet both arrive on the 5th.
This my Targas case I bought from best buy yesterday for $19.99. Really good quality and nice padding inside to protect my prime and keep it scratch free. This will do until I find a real case that fits around the prime itself. This is more like a travel case but it'll do for now. I posted pix of the inside of it also so you can see the padding.

Got this from five below. It is a network case the the prime fits in perfectly. The 2 Styrofoam pieces aren't supposed to be there. I left the original one and took another one and I puts the prime between the 2 pieces. Works well

I can't post links yet, but I ordered one of these from Amazon:
VERTEKS Asus Eee Pad Transformer PRIME TF201 10.1-Inch Android Tablet Wi-Fi Multi-Angle Slim-Fit Leather Folio Case Cover (Black)
Looks to be a slimmer fit than some of the others.
Looks good. Nice touch with android logo. Vry creative and saved you money.

I just ordered this Poetic Case - I prefer a case that doesn't cover the front bezel. Plus it bends in such a way that I can still use it with the dock. I'll probably pick up a cheap sleeve for the dock.
Yep, I ordered the same one for the same reasons.

Let us know how you like it when you actually get it.
I ordered this VanGoddy case:

I hope it fits correctly. The name is suspiciously over specific.
It should arrive any day now, I'll let you all know how it fits.
I also ordered Poetic(TM) StandBook Stand Leather Case with Angle Adjustable for Asus Eee Pad Prime TF201 Black. My order says estimated delivery Jan 17-20. Maybe they don't really have them in stock.
I noticed that it says "Processing takes an additional 4 to 5 days" on the Poetic Case page.
I placed my order on the first. It doesn't show as shipped yet, but my delivery estimate says January 11-13.

so you need 1 case and 1 sleeve
wow, no ones getting that giant case with the extra removable piece for the keyboard I was wondering if it was worth it or not
I am waiting for a case for both the dock and tablet also.
i went out and bought a 10.2 netbook case from HP @ BB for $15
works well enough, but not quite what i really want though, this is to just save me until some manufactures get off their butts and produce something for us....
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.

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?
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk 2
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).

I have looked and looked. But I can't find a hard case for my TP. Has anyone come across one?
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium
Are you talking about the shell or jacket type that many phones snap in to or a case that the tablet is placed in during transport? I haven't seen any on the first kind but have come across a sweet storage case that has a hard shell.
I am interested in one myself, that or a silicone gel skin. I just want to maintain thin and light without adding bulk.
I'm waiting for a sweet TPU case, that would be amazing!
One for operation. Something that it will stay in 24/7. There is one that Zag makes for the galaxy tab 10. I dropped my TP the other day and almost cried lol.
I found lots of leather cases but no hard cases. I am going to get learner until I can find a good hard case. (or maybe make one...lol)

I have tried a Belkin sleeve previously but that was too small for my tf201 and all the other recommendations have been for netbooks IE the tablet with the dock which I don't want as I don't carry the dock around with me all the time and the tablet itself is lose in the sleeve without the dock again..not wanted
so any suggestions ?

This is what I have been using since I got my prime months ago, lot of space for stuff, fits even with a case on(roocase leather folio case) still feels and looks brand-new. I got mine for 10$

does the prime not flap around inside ?
Hmm not really, it does slightly when it is the only thing in there but for the most part it's a pretty tight fit but the material can stretch to accommodate more items

I got one i bought from Blacks, no link but its just the right size. Generally, look for cases for netbooks. Most netbooks are about the same size as the prime. Also check cell phone stores, smaller electronics shops, more of the less mainstream areas. Theres a kiosk in my mall buy sells only tablet stuff. Check out places like this, and ebay. you can find lots of good deals on ebay just make sure "buyer beware", know what your buying
Happy hunting!
