I guys, just wanted to share, I bought the Moko Leather Case with Stand off Amazon and it works like a charm! Perfect fit, good quality, all ports accessible, and very protectable. I payed $19.99 plus $3.99 for next day shipping (Amazon Prime Member). I would recomend this to anyone in a look for a good looking, cheap, good quality folding case.
Srry it wont let me post the link since im new, just shearch 'sony tablet s moko' in Amazon's shearch box.
I did the search ...
but it looks like that the case is not available on German amazon store.
When I search on Google, I get a link of amazon.com an can see the photos.
Thanks for advice.

Looks good, but I just don't like that style.
Enjoy.
Its more of a profecional look, the Sony S and that cover for me its like, beaty & a touch of a profecional look, just awesooome!
A few reviews claim their or port is covered and others are hard to get to. Did you find this to be true?
Sent from my Sony Tablet S
Its NOT true! I have access to ALL ports, even speakers, sd card, charger, headphone jack, etc. See the pictures so you can see...

what about the infrared port? Does the Universal Remote app work well when it's in the case?
I just got the RooCASE and I'm pretty dissatisfied. Returning it for either this case or the Navitech.
Mmmm... its works but not that far away like it would do without it.... but its really nice cover.
No it does not. I am thinking about cutting a larger hole than the pin hole that comes with the case. Will let you know if it work then. For now I have to keep taking it out the case to use the Remote function. The remote app works great! Will be trying it on my AC this weekend.
Moko
THe MoKo case is great. I have taken it around to a few business meetings, it looks professional, duals as a stand and fits the Tablet S perfect. The remote sensor is blocked working on pinpointing it so i can increase the hole size but over all 10/10 on this case after going trying a few of them. The Amazon Prime shipping Rocks, Also Blue Mall on Amazon has a screen protector that fits perfect for 4 bucks shipped.

Here's a link to the product with pictures http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Folding-Cover-SGPT111US-Tablet/dp/B005PCK5K8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1331006099&sr=8-1.
I got this case for my Tablet. It fits real nice and provides great coverage. All the ports are accessible including charging, headphone, etc.
Also, this is one of the very few cases you will see that positions the tablet correctly in the lowered position. If you look at pictures of other cases, you will see the camera is at the bottom... which doesn't work out too well. I've heard there is software you can get that allows the screen to rotate correctly, but the camera is still at the bottom.
The only negative I had so far with this case is it comes with a very strong chemical smell. After about a week I hardly notice it anymore but at first I wasn't sure I would be able to stand it lol.

wow that doesnt look like the pictures from the amazon page.
how is the quality? imho doesnt look to great!
What poor designing...they really need to make one of these but with something like hard silicon/TPU/Plastic, similar to the InCase products for Apple Macbooks. Those just snap on in two pieces to the exterier of the laptop and cover it nicely when its closed. This just looks like a bombardment of faux leather all over the place.

Received mine today. I can't send it back fast enough. It's fairly low quaility and does not fit well. The description says it is leather but I can't find any. Seems to be made of vinyl and fake suade. It was only $23 so I was not expecting much but the fit and quaility was poorer than I expected.
This looks like it could have promise for a similar pricepoint.

It's a shame that the Poetic case turned out to be such a disappointment.
I'm surprised, because I just got this Poetic case on eBay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/280719327360?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
and it's great. It arrived in about 4 days from California.
It's a sturdy case that holds the Transformer using corner/side clips only,
which leaves all the ports easily accessible. It appears to be made of leather, or
at least a good quality plastic simulation. The case closes with a curved metal clip
which seems well-padded and doesn't damage the tablet.
The case has three positions. I use the highest for watching movies and the lowest for anything
that requires lots of typing. The front of the case folds completely flat behind the back,
and you can even dock the tablet, although the case isn't intended to hold the dock.
The best part: Even though the pictures don't show it, the flap connecting
the front and back has an opening for the dock/charging connector.
I can charge the tablet without removing (or even opening) the case!!!
I e-mailed the vendor and they assured me that the dock/charging connector
opening is standard and offered a refund if anyone gets one without it.
I've tried a bunch of cases - separate sleeves for the tablet, a "dual" sleeve with separate
pockets for the tablet and dock, etc., but this is the one I'm staying with.
If anyone is interested, I got the Diamond design one
Pics: http://imgur.com/a/ZXR7c
I just got mine! I actually paid 26something USD to ship it to The Netherlands (why are these rates so ridiculously high!?)...
In the end, it works fine for me. It fits my tablet, I don't have to take it off to attach the keyboard dock and it also closes with tablet + dock inside. Details are fine, fit is reasonably good (it seems to be a bit off at the front facing cam).
$24 makes a good buy.. at 50 (including shipping), I feel a bit dissapointed.
Then again;
to protect my phone, I bought www.pielframa.com last year they don't sell Asus eee cases (yet??). Cost me quite a bit. Great finishing, real craftsmenship! When I dropped the phone, the leather ripped and bit by bit fell of the casing. Now, there's a leather-less patch (about 1 cm) doesn't really bother me, but it made me wonder how much a phone case should actually cost.. knowing you're not that carefull and might drop it anyway
Just got this case from Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005MZ35NM/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8
Amazingly the only folio I've been able to find. I have the same style case for my iPad and I must set this is the way to go. Though I can see the desire for a portrait mode . The hand strap is a great touch for that.

while I was looking for a case of my own. Since the Amazon one is out of stock, it seems like an alternative.

It looks great and the size is perfect - compact and slim. How does it feel in hands - solid? Does it block the mic hole at the top?

Looking at the pics, it looks like the NT would snap into it at the four corners rather than any edges. The NT's mic is a small hole at the top of the device, offset from the center. I doubt this case would block it.
[Edit]
Sorry, I should check the reply more closely before posting. I was looking at the one from Best Buy.
This is the one I picked up. It's pretty nice, a couple of different angles to stand the NT up, and it surrounds the whole thing, so it's pretty secure.
edit: I'm not allowed to post links yet, but search on amazon for crazy on digital's folio case for the Nook Color
This may seem like a dumb question, but can you stand it up in portrait mode with this case?

ordered this before I even saw your post.
Got it, hate it. No way to really fold the cover back and use it in portrait mode. Cover doesn't close flush with the nook.
Really nice quality leather.
If you case closes flush with the nook then I might be wiling to get a replacement and see if this one is defective but I don't think the magnets are strong enough/the groves to hold it in portrait prevent it from closing flush.
Just got the Speck Fitfolio in black. It fits very well and does not make it feel bulky at all. They have also extended the "vegan leather" on the back over the hard shell making it look far nicer.
Ok I purchased this case. Like the feel of it and its not too bulky. BUT, whatever chemicle they used to coat the leather absorbed into the bezel of my nooks rubber paint coating and caused a brown spotted discoloring.... I tried to clean it with alcohol and other cleaning products but its absorbed in the coating ... im pretty pissed to be honest. I just orders a skinomi woodgrain skin to cover the damage up, and plan on taking pictures and contacting the case manufactor to have them buy me a new nook! WARNING TO ALL!
I purchased this case
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005MZ35NM/..._am_us?ie=UTF8
I've had it for about 3 weeks but haven't used it due to a very
strong chemical smell. The smell transferred to my hands after unpacking the case.
I've been waiting for the smell to go away before using it but after reading posts regarding damage the Nook finish I may never use it.
At the time I purchased my Nook I also picked up a B&N case that was discounted 30%. It's much better quality, I really like clips that hold it in place. Very quick and easy to pop the Nook in and out. The B&N case was approximately $10 higher cost but I feel it's higher quality case and worth the cost difference.
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.

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.

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.
Im starting to wonder if I'm terribly unlucky or just plain doomed here.
I've so far bought a Mitab folio case which while managing to hold the tablet reasonably is clearly overstressing the docking aspect and doing damage to the tablet when I try and dock it. Without both parts in the case the tablet cover has the appearance/feel of an illfitting old book.
I then got a random folio case off ebay, allegedly a Moko Multi Angle Case and its terrible, it doesnt fit right and you cant use the camera.
I was then going to just get the ASUS Transleeve but apparently it scractches the back of the tablet and its hinge/connecting mechanism is made of fail.
So I ask you, XDA, which (if any) case is decent enough for the Prime?
Ideally I wanted something that I can dock while using, but thats seemingly out of the question, so I just want a nice case that doubles as a stand and doesn't look terrible.
Suggestions please (pref with Amazon UK links!) Would a "genuine" a Moko Multi Angle Case be the way to go, or perhaps the "premoium MoKo Case?
Cheers!
I am more than happy with my 2 UK cases.

I bought a Targus - Truss Leather Case/Stand. Just bought it because it was at Best Buy when I bought my tablet. Figured I'd use it for protection until I found a better/cheaper one, and then return it. I have read most threads on here about cases an also looked elsewhere online at cases quite a bit and have yet to see a case that I liked as well, much less better. I payed $40 US for it, though I'm sure it can be found cheaper online, but I really really like the fit, function, and quality of it. I would recommend it to others without any hesitation.

The greatsheild cases are by a mile the best case arround, slim and they look good too.
Dont consider anything else.
I keep mine on when docked and just put the flap under the dock.
You can find them on ebay from china and cost about 13 squid delivered, the only prob is waiting for delivery. But its not that long.
Hi Ady,
I have the premium Moko case you linked to.
My review is up on Amazon for this case too
I really like it, the Primes fits into the case perfectly, all the ports are accessible with the case on, as is the camera and flash.
I'll get some photos taken so you can see the fit.
Are there any good folding stand cases with access to the charging port while the thing is closed?
I found this Moko Premium folio one, which does look great as nitram says, other than it being folio rather than folding type:
amazon (dot) com/MoKo-Slim-Fit-Multi-Angle-Transformer-10-1-Inch/dp/B0063Q3G3I/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1332907452&sr=1-2
But as I said, I'm looking for more of one these folding types like, but neither of them show if there is a hole for the charging port while they are closed:
amazon (dot) com/MoKo-Folding-Transformer-10-1-Inch-Android/dp/B00565T3ZW/ref=sr_1_17?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1332909457&sr=1-17
OR

Does anyone have them and can say or show if they have the port hole?
Hmm, interesting point there Alex.
Using the case as a stand (the Moko premium) the charging point is not accessible.
However, if you take the Prime out and put it in upside down then the charging point is at the top and thus accessible.
If I use the case with the front part of the case folded right back, then the charging point is fully accessible, but..... you have to unplug it, folde the case back, then plug it in again.
Hi.
In thinking about buying one of the gel skins off eBay USA. I've just got the tablet and I'm finding it a bit plasticky and hollow sounding. I'm thinking that a skin might deaden the sound a bit.

Looks good and US $11.99 is not a bad price. Amazon.com has the same item labeled "by Sony" in black (ASIN: B007BXZI2O) and purple (ASIN: B007BXZYPA) for US $7.99 with free Amazon Prime Membership 2-day shipping. Non-Prime standard 3-day shipping is probably US $2.99, but I'm guessing the cost.

I'll be shipping to the UK so I need to factor in shipping. The Amazon one just looks like the same one off ebay - it doesn't look Sony branded.
For some bizarre reason I can't find them in the UK at all. Very strange.
They are both roughly the same price so I'll just choose either.
Thanks.
i seen that cover but only question is that will the case cover the IR remote on top of the tablet?

I ordered one from Amazon.com and will receive it tomorrow evening. After I install it on the tablet, I will post here to let you know whether or not the skin covers the IR sensor.
Edit: I received and installed the skin. Fits well. None of the tablet's features (power plug, buttons, speakers, etc.) are blocked. And yes, there is a hole for the IR sensor.
Hi Cat.
Please tell me what you think of the skin as I'm close to ordering one myself. Please tell me if its a tight fit (a must) and whether you think that it makes the tablet feel too think.
I really want one to make the tablet feel more solid in the hand. As much as I love Google and hate Apple I really miss the build quality of my old iPad 1. I also think HC is an abomination of an OS - What were Google thinking!!
Look forward to your report and pics would be nice if possible

I purchased a black skin (ASIN: B007BXZI2O) from Amazon.com, so go to their web site to see photographs. I like the skin. Its color is a perfect dark charcoal. It fits very well and tighly hugs the tablet's form. When I am handling the tablet, the skin does not feel like it is going to fall off and the back part does not feel floppy. It has a good industrial rubber feel and it makes the tablet feel more solid and protected, which is a plus for me because I am an industrial controls engineer and I frequently use my tablet in the field. The skin has openings in all the right places and does not block any of the tablet's features. I feel purchasing the skin was a wise choice.
Thanks for the update.
Looks like I will be purchasing one ASAP
I've just tried to purchase it off Amazon but they don't ship to the UK.
I'll have to purchase the one off ebay. It looks the same but you never know until you get it.
Just bought the one off ebay. Probably take about 2 weeks to get here. It was just over £11 with the exchange being as it is so can't grumble at the price.
Cheers.
Looks great, might look into something like this.

Do you have the Sony cradle and if so, does the tablet fit in there with the skin on it? Thanks!

Yes, I have a cradle and no, the tablet will not fit into the cradle if the skin is on it. But the skin is easy to remove and put back on (I do it carefully, taking my time), so it is not a problem for me.
Hi all.
I got the skin in the post the other day. I'm not too impressed with it TBH. It is not the snuggest of fits - its a bit loose.
I don't think I'll use it TBH. I'm getting used the plastic nature of the Tablet S.
Cheers.
Tapatalk misfire.
I'm also interested in buying a rubber skin for my Tablet S, and this one is the only one I can find (at eBay and Amazon). One user here says it's great and another says it's not so great... Anyone else has experience with these?
Ordered one on ebay
Hello All,
Just ordered on of those skins on Ebay in america...
Since im in Europe it might take a while for the thing to arrive..
I will keep you all posted
Regards Jip

I purchased a Black Silicone Skin from Amazon.com six weeks ago and so far it's held up nicely. I remove the skin nightly so I can put my tablet in its cradle and put the skin back on every morning, and today it still fits as snug as it did the first time I put it on my tablet.

Thanks. I'm definitely buying one for mine! I also have to order it from eBay, as Amazon.com doesn't ship it to my address...
If anyone is in the UK they can buy mine for £8 posted.
Only used it once.
