I got my parents this case for their iPad and it's by far the best quality folio type case I've seen -much better than the Moko, Verteks, Poetic, Blurex, etc. It has a very classy carbon fiber look and a cool hand strap as shown in the video. It also feels a little slimmer than the Poetic case I have for the Prime.

Let's keep posting in this Facebook thread. If there's a big enough response, they've said they would make one for the Prime.

FYI, they make them in different colors and a different type of finish too.
Carbon Fiber, Black, Brown, Red and Pink
I prefer the carbon fiber look but it's nice to have a variety.

I suggested on Facebook they start making one and Marware replied its in the works. Keep posting there though because the more demand they get the faster it will happen. I'm currently using the Blurex slim case. Its exactly like the CEO Hybrid minus the hand strap which I miss for book reading.

I second that. I bought Marware case of my wife's iPad 2 and it is without doubt the best quality folio case that I've used so far. It has a very classy and high quality look and feel.

The forum admin (MikeChannon) was cool enough to move this to the general forum where I thought it might get a little more exposure. Hopefully the moderators will let it stay for awhile and Marware gets enough requests to develop a case for the Prime.

Btw, I have the Poetic case which is exactly like the Blurex one and the Marware case is of far better quality than either. It feels slimmer and it's got a cool carbon fiber look which looks really classy - not to mention the hand strap like you said. And they haven't committed to making one yet but they stated in that Facebook thread that if they get enough of a response, they'll make one for the Prime.

I would probably buy one it looks really nice. I like how on the ipad it has the sleep awake function. I just bought this case though cause I loved the pink plaid and if you spent 20 bucks or more you got a free stylus so I am getting a hot pink stylus to match but it has the hand strap on the back and there is a black one. Just in case someone needs something to hold them over till marware one comes out which I hope they do make one I like it alot. Does the Prime have the auto sleep function?

I like the Caseen but I prefer folio cases with the clips because they don't cover the bezel.
This case would be a great accessory for my prime!
I "liked" the thread on F.B. hopefully that counts for them as a "please make this case"
I want a case for my prime, but it has to have room for the dock as well. =/
I had already written to them on FB I forgot LOL! But I wrote again saying purple would be nice to match my tablet. LOL! Someone actually told me what the bezel was and I don't really know still. But I read it protects your tablet more being covered. Is it the black around the screen? I still would like to try one of these too if it did the awake/sleep function. Does are tablet have that option?

I am looking for a portfolio case for the transformer... has anyone had any luck finding one? The Asus case seems nice, but I would like to put a couple other small things in it, have a slot for a stylus, and be under the $40 that they are charging. Here's what I'm looking for, only fitting the Transformer instead of the (shivers) iPad.

I'd be in for one of these in a heartbeat. That case looks AWESOME.
A friend has one for his iPad. It works perfect in the class setting we are in with the stand built in.
Sorry for the link not being a hyper link. I have been reading the forum for a while, and figured I should just take the dive and join in on the fun.
I'd much prefer a nice leather case too than the official sleeve. Lets just hope our eee pads become pretty popular and then lots of 3rd party manufacturer's will pump out some nice accessories.

Haha, well one thing needs to happen in order for it to become popular:
Asus needs to make more than 30 at a time and supply retailers with enough so it lasts a day or two!
Has anybody had any luck finding a portfolio case for the Transformer yet? The closest one I like/found is the rooCase Executive Folio for the Xoom.
i just received this case from ebay. Its quite a good fit

EDIT- forget it- i saw your other review post.
Apparently Tuff Luv were creating a tri-axis case for the transformer which was due in about 4-5weeks time. I would assume it would be similar to the one they made for the Xoom. Link HERE if you're interested in seeing it. Looks decent.

Looks cheap in material and expensive in price. They already have a bunch of "leather" cases out there for tablets. If it was me, i definitely wouldnt want a leather one as they are pretty much never leather and have a better chance of cracking than other materials. Plus by the looks of that case, its literally going to add about 50% thickness or more to the tablet when its closed.

Saw your review (http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/showpost.php?p=55917642&postcount=42) and it DOES look like a really good fit. Real bummer about the top-left elastic though. If you put the top-left elastic on, does it actually press the volume button in? Or does it just block it? That might be the one deal-breaker for me at that price.

Taking photos to show the quality of any leather is tough. From what I've read about their products, I'm sure it will be high quality stuff. I would just prefer it if they made a simple book cover type case without the tri-fold parts tbh. Maybe they'll make other styles idk. The lack of quality leather cases from anyone so far is annoying.
I don't know where you are from, but here in the UK if something says it's leather, it's made of leather (unless you buy it at a market perhaps). Quality will differ though of course. Any quality leather that is cared for wont crack. I think the extra thickness is a good thing as it would protect it more. Might add a bit to the weight but I can live with that. It's a case of you get what you pay for when it comes to leather products.

I just received this case yesterday and I got to say that it is a pretty nice case if you're looking for a tough case. I've been looking for a case like the Otterbox since it appears they will not be releasing a defender series for this phone. This one is actually the opposite because they put the hard case on the outside of the silicone case. They did this so when you don't need/want the plastic part, you can still use the silicone part as a case. The metal kickstand is also a nice addition, especially since I tend to watch netflix on my phone quite a bit. It is a universal GS2 case, meaning it fits ours and the international version. It has a notch at the bottom for the international's home button, and has the hole at the top for our noise cancellation mic. You do have to work it a bit to get the plastic part over the silicone, but really that's a good thing. Also the button feel is really nice with this case. Feels better than when it's just the phone itself. They also got the phone to me quickly. I got it about 3 days after I ordered it and it came from California to South Carolina, free shipping. So if you've been wondering about this case or wanting another option for a tough case, I'd give this one a try. I love it. Oh and there are also other colors available.
dang, i was hoping this would be about the rum.
looks like a cool case, thanks for the review.

I've been looking for something since falling out of love with the Siedio Active combo, but I really dislike how the holster has that circular portion resting directly against the screen. That just can't be good for anything over the long term.
It doesn't touch the screen. There's plenty of space.

Like I said the buttons feel better than without a case. As for bulk it adds a bit, probably about as much as an otterbox defender would. It is a tough case afterall. Trident also offers other cases for our phones.

That's a nice case. I've never liked things like the Otterbox, always thought they were really fugly. If I were in the market for a tough case, I'd definitely consider this.

TRIDENT AMS-SGX2-BK Kraken AMS Case for Samsung Galaxy S II - 1 Pack - Retail Packaging - Black
The Kraken (AMS-SGX2) listed in Amazon for the GS2 doesnt say whether they are for the i777 but clearly look like they are for the i9100. It does say that they fit the GS1 though.
Anybody have more personal input on this case yet?
Please post pics if someone gets one on our AT&T version.
I have the green one now. It is designed to fit both. There is an antenna hole in the upper right corner in the silicone. The hole for the microphone at the top is grooved(in the silicone) in such a way that the at&t and i9100 can utilize it. Overall it is a nice case but the two halves(front & back) seem like they don't snap together tight enough. Maybe it won't be a problem but only time will tell. Also, the plastic seems to slip out of my hands more easily than a case that has more silicone.

Thanks fellas. I'm thinking about getting the Red one myself but I would like to see pics of it first, dont want it to look pinkish red
Can you post close up pictures (any color)?
I'll try to post pics if I get the chance, and I can find my camera. I use my phone for everything and haven't used a camera in ages. I have the red one and there is no pinkish to it.
Anyone tried this case yet? It looks like it would work well with extended batteries and still very thin.

No not really, but waiting almost a month for something un-tested take the excitement out of it. I did find they are selling cheaper on the sellers site but the site is a little sketchy. Will post the link later.
One thing i did notice later is that the volume and power buttons aren't covered. Those buttons take the most abuse so having them covered would be nice. Still, I'm very tempted to buy a case.
My White Neo Hybrid is getting a little brown. I might pick up one of these. Just want a review or something first....

Ok, ordered this one: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax..._1_4?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1334182757&sr=1-4
Estimated delivery May 8 - May 21 - I'll report back in a month...
EDIT: FYI the cost listed (if you buy it through Amazon) includes shipping - that's the total cost on my receipt, and S&H is $0.00
EDIT2: As of this morning, the order has shipped - expected delivery May 21st. So whatever the slowest shipping from the UK is, apparently...
If anyone's wondering, I looked at the website and compared the Amazon listing and their site.
This is the same as this.
It's selling for $14.50 on Amazon, and 9 pounds on their website--which is about $14.30 according to Google. The price from the site does not include shipping, another 2 pounds or $3. Amazon is definitely cheaper, since shipping is free.
These are nice looking. I think I will try one out. Thanks for sharing the link.
Arrived today - 9 days from order date - not bad. Pics attached, sorry for the quality - from a work BlackBerry.
Impressions - good fit, minimal bulk, but it gives better coverage than the Rearth Ringke slim I've been using, and feels like it would handle a drop better. The back plate just lies in the "tray", so I had to adjust it once on, but then seemed snug enough. All the ports and mics are open, buttons are easy to reach. Easy on, easy off - stiff enough I don't think it will stretch. Has a bit of a matte finish feel, so won't slide in and out of pocket as easily as the Ringke, but not sticky. Does hold the camera lens off the table, but the front rim is under the face so it does NOT offer any protection when face down.
My Ringke slim is cracking because I remove it multiple times a day to dock, so I think I will use this as a daily once that dies.
Any other questions?

It's definitely there, but thinner than others I've tried - about like the Casemate barely there. The Ringke slim is the best really thin one out there, I think, but you don't get the coverage...
I can live with this - you can tell you're using a case, but it's not bulky by any means.

I'd suggest searching for J Butterfly cases, since the DNA specifically doesn't have that much stuff out for it. A search on rakuten for "htc j butterfly case" brings up two that are a bit expensive (about $45 base) but stylish.
Hope that helps!

Yes exactly that. More than willing to pay more though. Nobody makes them that's the issue.
Snarky comment aside lots of nice flip open style cases out there in the 15-20 range.
I want a Poetic slim line style case. They told me they will not be making one.

Just got mine in the mail, and I'm kinda disappointed, it really doesn't feel like leather, more like cardboard with some kind of felt/fake leather on it.

Does it at least smell like leather?

If not leather maybe like a political prisoner?
Its a decently nice case for the price. Fits very well. Not slopply put together. It looks like it would be sued but doesn't have the same feel. I say its well worth the $15. I do wish they would make nicer more expensive cases but its not an iPhone so I'm not getting my hopes up.

Observations thus far from owner
I just got the grey one in the mail yesterday and truly, I'm rather undwhelmed. Here are some observations from the past 12+ hours.
1. Case does NOT feel like leather at all as posted previously. Kinda cheap honestly.
2. The cover does not secure itself at all. It kinda just flaps in the wind and slides all over the place. The cover itself seems to be a bit big for the phone itself. Holding the cover tightly to the phone screen leaves 1/8 inch or so hanging off the side. If I set the phone down with the screen up and nothing on top of it, the cover just flaps open. This could be potentially be self-adjusting with use and having the case "break-in" but I have seen other flip covers that did not require this break-in period.
3. The case makes the buttons (power, volume +/-) more difficult to press. The case has proper cut-outs but the cut-outs could have been a bit larger to allow for easier access to the buttons. I really have to get my fingertip into the cut-out to operate the buttons.
I understand that the overall cost of the case was pretty low and people will state that "you get what you pay for" but I had previously purchased the Nillikin slim case in brown and I think I will be going back to that one. The slim case was a measly 8 bucks or so and doesn't have the flip cover, but the overall construction, feel and function of that one seems far superior.
/end $0.02
How about some pictures?
everybody should Email Poetic and beg for a slim line leather flip case.
Hi all, wouldn't normally post a review of something like this, but I think this is a particularly nice case for the TF300 (tablet only).
Cooler Master are a great manufacturer of mainly PC parts, and when I noticed this on a non-english language site in a review it got me interested.
After a bit of googling, I found it on the Cooler Master Mobile EU site, and it was priced at a whopping €39.99 with €10 delivery! (it worked out at about £45).
Anyway, its available in Silver and Blue (but the blue looks black to me) and I went for the silver.
It is very much like an Apple (boo, hiss) smart cover except that there is no automatic sleep with the TF300. It has a strong magnetic closing, and I would be confident it wouldn't flap open in my bag. It doesn't add too much bulk to the tablet, and feels nice and sturdy. The flap cover feels like it will last a while, and it lets you place it in a couple of useful positions.
With the cover in place and closed, for whatever reason it feels great. I would seriously just walk around with the tablet in the case because of how nice it feels to hold. Really nice and tactile feel with the textured fibre finish, and soft touch plastic.
It is tablet only, but it pops out easy enough to attach to the dock.
I've attached some pics (sorry about quality, light wasn't great in my room), which show off the really nice finish and the carbon fibre texture of this. It is definitely a premium product, and I am happy to use this day to day.

I saw this out looks really good. I might entertain something like this. I have a cheap case from eBay I my tablet now.

Oh my god it's beautiful! Too bad it's very expensive for me. I would be way too expensive, with shipping to Turkey. Thanks for the review
Nice case :thumbup:
Sent from my magic machine and written by my pet monkey who likes bananas and cream.
It's nice to see some cases for the tablet that are geared to non-dock users.
That is a gorgeous case.
You can order one from the Cooler Master website and ship to the US...but it'll cost you about $125 USD

the CS of Cooler Master EU store is quite bad, sent email to them on friday but no reply until today, 3-4 days...acceptable? i dun think so
The item number for the silver and blue covers are:
C-AT3F-CTTF-BB (Dark Blue)
C-AT3F-CTTF-SS (Silver White)
With these I was able to find a local retailer for about €40 Euro or $53 USD with free shipping
Wow. That looks good. The problem is you will need to take it out of the case in order to dock it on the keyboard wouldn't you. Or is there some way to do that without removing it all?

Good question...I have the same problem...

I'm pretty sure this case isn't dock compatible and will need to be removed in order to attach the dock.

So am I. The annoying thing is that it easy to achieve with right shape/size cut out along the bottom (hinged) edge. I know because I took one of these from Amazon and cut it out with a craft knife. Not too bad as you can see from my review at that link, but still a bit more bulky and not as pretty as this one. I am not sure if you could do the cut out with this case, but I would not want to at £45, as opposed to the less than £10 I spent

Absolutely. This case is definitely not inexpensive. Still, it is one of the best looking I've seen for our tablet.

Actually having looked at the pictures on the Master Cooler website I wonder whether it may be usable with a dock. It appears that the bottom hinge of the front flap starts a a little way up the back rather than right at the bottom. Depending upon how far up it may be possible to still slip the dock on without removing the case. It only needs about 13mm or so from my experience with the cut out on my other case.
Could I ask the OP or anybody else to have a look please and see how far up the hinge does start. Or even better if they have a keyboard dock does it enable it to be used without removing the case??? If so I think I see some more money being spent!
Hmmm... if you don't get an answer in here you can always write the manufacturer.:good:

I just tired it and its doable but requites a bit of wiggling.
The back of the dock is a bit hard to press in between the tablet and the cover but it can be done.
Here is a few pictures:
