Ok, I now have my Prime with dock and I am in now in need of a Man Bag. Looking to carry the Prime, my phone, keys, wallet, mp3 player, etc. Anybody using a Man Bag, or have suggestions for a quality bag that will hold all my crap yet look good in the process? Not looking for a huge bag, just enough room to fit all my stuff. Any suggestions.

Update and let me know how it works - looks pretty sweet!
Yah..that does look sweet. Please update it as you find your likes and dislikes.
Could you take some pics of "Real world" stuff in there? what it looks like with the tab/dock...pens...pen drives...stuff a non marketing person would do with it.
I recently went to Office Max to get my dock (see the "where is everyone buying their docks" thread) and saw the coolest thing.
it's exactly the same bag i have for my laptop that i love but for tablets
http://www.officemax.com/technology...d Accessories&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=22970395
while not a traditional "man" bag...it's a cross imo between shoulder/scout/backpack.
This is the bag I got: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0046SNNRY/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1327358978&sr=8-1
I bought mine from Target for $24. The prime fits perfectly in the inside pocket without any case. Should fit in the other inside pocket with a case. My case arrives this week.

I bought that one too. The prime will fit in the larger slot with a case. It will not fit in the smaller slot with a case. The dock will fit either slot by itself and the prime with the dock attached fits perfectly in the larger slot. It really is a nice case. I like the color inside too.
I picked up the Messenger Bag/Man Purse/Murse at Best Buy last week.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Targus+...8343234169&skuId=1805623&st=targus&cp=4&lp=38
Unfortunately, they were on sale for 24.99 last week, and they are $35 now.
I love it. Comes with a Shoulder Strap so I can wear it like a Murse. Comes with a bunch of little pockets inside, one velcro pouch for a cell phone or MP3 Player, has 2 pen/stylus holders. And it is still small.
There is a sleeve inside that fits the Transformer Prime very snug, so it will not move around. You just stretch the interior sleeve and it fits right in.
Plus, they have these IN STORE at Best Buy, just look back by the Laptop Bags!
I got this one. Has two compartments so it fits the Prime and keyboard separately or docked.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002N8726W/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details
I got this one back when I had my xoom, fits the prime and dock great and has room for other stuff without being too bulky. I also like how far down it zips so your not hunting for tiny stuff at the bottom.

The prime without the dock also fits perfectly in the small slot. It seems snug the first time but it becomes the perfect fit.

Update as requested CheeseMcGee
Awesome bag! I want to start using it instead of my usual everyday bag, it has a hell of a lot of padding and fits the prime very snuggly, so I just need to get over my misconception that the prime is made of brittle china and properly integrate it into my life. It has a lot of pockets which is awesome as I love to keep stuff separate, looks really nice imo - from my experience so far I would highly recommend it

Timbuk2 freestyle netbook messenger
I got a Timbuk2 Freestyle Messenger today and it fits my Prime with the dock attached perfectly. It is well made out of thick cordura with a waterproof lining, a separate internal pouch for the tablet that is microfiber lined and secured with velcro, and plenty of smaller pockets for your keys etc. I got it directly from them and the color i bought is on sale for $39.
I can't post a link yet but you can find them by googling the title of this post.
I am not affiliated with them, it's just a great product.

After much research and deliberation I settled on this...
Hmm, due to me being a nube I can't post outside links but searching ebay with this number works (120758831139)
Question is, which will arrive first? My Purple Prime or my Vertical Messenger (Satchel)? The Prime eta is February 20 and due to Chinese new-year the HN bag is due by March 1.
---------- Post added at 02:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:02 PM ----------
It appears the Vertical Messenger has taken the lead. I now have a tracking number for it with UPS.

Someone posted in the huge @ss thread that they thought the Kindle DX was about the same size as the GTablet.
I went ahead and ordered this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Kindle-DX-Leath...&otn=4&po=LVI&ps=63&clkid=5004332251969071237
I'm happy with it so far, the DX is about half and inch wider, height is okay, so it can slide around a bit. I put some stick on velcro on the case and on the GTab, it isn't going anywhere now. I think I'm going to have to use superglue for the velcro on the case though, it's felt lined so it won't stick on for long. The only thing is the top elastic band is close to the power button, maybe Roebeet's electrical tape solution is in order.
UPDATE: Oh, well my fake pleather case has ding in the edge now. Maybe I need to get some of that liquid leather. ;P Happy with the sizing, just need to find something more durable. Maybe I'll use some of that new fangled electrical tape I hear is the new duct tape.
Electrical tape is the new duct tape:

I need to do something like that, was thinking of a little piece of sticky backed foam, like 1/4 ince or so, think I have some perfect for that around here somewhere.
Hitting that power button is way to easy to do, need to mod the physical keys on the side somehow also, lol.
I found an iPad case on amazon for $14.95 that has good potential. go to amazon and search for "Acase Leather Flip Book Jacket/folio for Apple Ipad 3g Tablet/wifi Model 16gb, 32gb, 64gb (Black)" in Electroincs.

Mike, I'd be careful. I've looked at several ipad cases but the gtab is taller and not as wide as the ipad. Most I've seen dont fit unless it's a universal case.

Well, I'll let you know how the Acase you listed works... I ordered one last night.

I purchased a Solo Classic iPad/eReader portfolio case from Staples that was around $30.00. The downside is that the power button is covered by one of the soft cloth corner holders, but other than that it has worked fine.

how tight the elastic band holding the tablet? will it slide out when you carry it around? I am thinking to purchase one right now.

The band was tighter when I first got it (infact it was so tight that it keep randomly turn on my tablet). After a few days it loosen up so the problem resolve itself. I carry it around ,always rushing to class and it feel pretty secure imo.

Yep. Almost all cases for iPad do not work, since the G is wider.

5 bux on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-inch-N...ef=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1304140643&sr=8-2-spell
Does it have any extra space for tablet+keyboard docked?
this is strictly for carrying the tablet alone, will not fit when docked to the keyboard.
Nice. What about space for USB cable, charger?
just a basic sleeve type case... the cable may fit with a slight bulge [?]
The sleeve is nice but your TXer background is Awesome.
I too think the background is awesome but have no idea where it is from nor what TXer is. Can you enlighten me?
A quick couple of questions for the OP. On the Belkin product page it gives the dimensions of the case as: 8.5 x 1.2 x 7.1inches. I'm assuming this is wrong as obviously the case is meant for up to 10.2" screen size devices, and the transformer is 10.7x0.5x7.1inches. On the amazon site you linked, it shows the dimensions as 11.25 x 8 X .875 which obviously sounds correct. Can you please post the actual measurements of your case? And was the model number of the case you purchased F8N215-BLK or 80-8215 please? Oh and does it feel well made? Thanks in advance.

amazon is correct, 11x8 sounds about right when i've measured mine...
the model# above the barcode reads F8N215-BLK...
it feels as good as how well it fits the tf101... the faux-leather surrounding the case is a nice touch... belkin makes solid products and this case @ $5, you really can't go wrong if this is the type of case you're looking for...

Thanks for the reply and the info. Yeah there's almost no excuse not to buy one at that price, unfortunately they cost a bit more here. Think i'll still get one though as it's worth it for some protection at least. Cheers.

Surely TXer means Transformer?
I went to Fry's to check out the netbook sleeves. And I noticed the Tempe, AZ Fry's has the Targus Netbook Slipskin Peel 10.2 netbook sleeve for only $6.
I can't find the link on frys.com, but here is the same case on Amazon.com
http://www.amazon.com/Targus-Neoprene-Slipskin-10-2-Inch-TSS11104US/dp/B002RJQT84
Case is the perfect width (in tablet landscape), but has about an extra inch of room in height. The case feels roomy enough it could hold the tablet and keyboard dock. (no pockets to hold cables though)
Seems like a great deal from at $6 from a brick and mortar store. Just don't know if it's a YMMV type of deal though at other stores since I can't find it on the website.
i'm sure the selection varies by stores... i brought my tfmr with me and i tested out all the ones for the netbooks before ultimately deciding on the one i got... they had quite a few selection, not bad for b&m...
Be warned, the inside of this case is very slick against the tablet. This is now I dropped mine Just be careful when opening it, it'll slip very easily.

don't take my word for it, try it out yourself if you wish... i will be very impressed if it fits with the dock in place... yet, even if it did fit, it will be insanely tight, especially length-wise... thus, i wouldn't want to risk the inner zipper scratching the bezel of the pad/keyboard unit...
i already have an 11.6 zeroshock case, so i will use that when i have it docked and this belkin case for small outings around town and such...

Thanks. I ended up going with the one from this thread. It sounds like it will fit the tab and keyboard.

Hey guys as a lot of you have probably realized the transformer's form factor is pretty similar to a generic 10 inch netbook's dimensions. I spent a few hours the other day looking for something that is slim and would have the option to carry a few extra things (charger and cable) while offering enough protection against light bumps and scrapes. I saw a few regular black ones that if i ever left anywhere might be hard to spot. Then i saw this one for the HP mini which was black with some red accents and stretchy pockets.

The inside is lined with some fuzzy material thats super soft to the touch.
The fitment is pretty much dead on. I was afraid it wouldn't fit cuz the tab does look a bit on the long side, but here it is overlaid on the sleeve as well as sitting in it. You can also see that the zipper is the hidden type, which makes it look a little more sleek:
I don't have the dock yet (who does? lol), but i'm confident that theres plenty of room to spare judging by pictures of mockups with the two halves' thicknesses compared.
Overall, very happy with it, as i ordered it on amazon with 2 day prime and it shipped the next morning Now if only i could get this thing unbricked so i can actually use the sleeve and take it places..
Heres the link for anyone interested, 15 bucks on amazon with prime.
HP Tablet Sleeve - Black with Red Trim
looks good.
I bought one of these because of your recommendation. I got it yesterday, and I am pleased with it. It's a little thicker than I expected. Fit's perfect in length, and a little extra width, which is expected given it's form factor. There is a good amount of padding for protection. The zipper is protected from the inside, so no worries about it scratching the bezel. There's plenty of room even with the keyboard dock. I do kinda wish there was a strap/handle that you could hook your fingers through. It has a few pockets on the outside that you can slide things like usb flash or sd cards. You can squeeze the charger in one, but not comfortably. That's what the 16 hour battery life is for.
I got one of these too and its great!

I'm glad that theres room to spare with the dock, as i will probably put a small notebook in there for those instances where you just need to use paper. For the money paid, it really is a pretty good deal it seems.
Thanks for the post! I actually have that same case for my HP Mini (but with the white inner lining) and was wondering if it would fit my TF when it comes in Monday.
Now I know that it will, Thanks!
I have this case as well and it works for me I don't have the dock yet but as others have said it should have plenty of room. I found that the charger fit best in the top small pocket on the front (the one with the plastic piping on the top edge). Having the piping there helps to keep the charger from falling out. I get $10 off $20 discount cards for Office Max all the time. At my local office max this case was going for $20.99 so $11 after the discount made it a no-brainer It looks like it will also allow you to nest cases. If you buy a leather portfolio style case you could leave that attached to the TF and slide it into the neoprene case for extra protection Double-bagging, if you will.
That 'piping' on the top is actually a handle that is on both sides of the case!
I got the same case at MicroCenter in Minnesota for 9.00 in the discount section. Fits the Tablet with or without dock very well. Pouches work creat for power brick and cable. It is soft on the inside without the lint problem some of them have. IMO this is the perfect case.
P.S. I DONT NEED NO STINKING "Smart Cover". A keyboard/dock that covers the light sensor for hibernation when closed, doubles the battery life, adds full USB ports and SD slot.... NOW THAT IS A DAMN SMART COVER. (plus I got it on buy.com for only 60 bucks more that that limp vinyl feminine napkin with magnets that apple calls a cover)

wow, I didn't even think twice about that until you mentioned it...that is really clever. The design of this case is very thought out yet simplistic. I like it a lot.
Any 10" Netbook sleeve will fit it. I am using one by Built.
One of the benefits of a netbook sleeve as well is if/when you get the keyboard, it will still fit and be useful.
I have the same sleave and it fits the TF+dock just fine.

Unfortunately not the case, I bought one of the basic neoprene slip kind and it was way too small. This one however looks awesome, I think I'm sold.
I got this case too. Fits rather snugly and you need to position the tablet to sit into the groove at the bottom to ensure a good fit.
Otherwise a great case and as mentioned fits fine with the dock.
The piping handle too is a great touch.
I can confirm as well that the Transformer fits nicely with the dock attached.

I reused my netbook case. If you want nice and snug fit then this is the one to get.

Is it snug without the keyboard dock attached? Or is there a lot of unused space inside, since I suppose it was designed for a netbook which is thicker.
Found one of these at Wal-Mart on the clearance rack for 10 bucks. It had a foam insert to help it keep shape on the shelf and I keep it in there for added protection for my screen since I don't have the dock yet. This thing works very well and I love the "handle" on top. The zipper closure on top is also very snazzy.
Can't hurt that the red color also matches my iFaraday stylus!
I've seen maxpedition fatboy or something a-like but they say that even a nook color would not fit the fatboy. Im looking for a everyday carry bag where i can easily pull up my tablet. Im using a backpack right now, but it seems like a messenger bag would be much better.
I've been looking for the same thing. Something that'll take the TF, dock, and a couple of thinner books.
This looks interesting, maybe?

I have a brown leather and green as shown in the video and above picture.
Best leather product I have ever owned... its a bag designed to look better with age and will last a lifetime.
Waited almost a month for delivery.... its worth it IMO.
Mobile Edge Netbook & Ultraportable Cases
You might take a look at some of the Mobile Edge netbook cases.
I can't post links yet, but you can easily find them on the Mobile Edge website. At the time of this posting, they could be found under the "Netbook & UltraPortable Cases" collection.
They are typically available on Amazon below the MSRP list price.
I am using the Allsop Ohmetric 10.2" Laptop sleeve. Neoprene construction.
http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?item_id=036969
It fits the TF with the dock perfectly, and I like that it has no zippers to scratch the TF. Even without the dock, the TF fits very well. There are no other pockets for the charger, but with the dock, youve got lots of battery life anyway. Its about being slim, and protected. I carry my TF all over with this sleeve. The lid has two padded things that fold into a wristwrest, so you could set the TF up on top of the sleeve and use the built in wrist rest while typing on the dock. Hey, its $15.00 and always in stock, how can you go wrong?
I'm using the Kensington slingbag currently, it fits the TF & dock nicely with room for accesories and my lunch

This is an indiana jones bag! i want! My friend will laugh at me for this because they will think it resembles the bag from the movie hangover.
This is the best bag:
I've got the Tom Bin Ristretto
I grabbed this sleeve for the Transformer + Dock.
HP Tablet Sleeve - Black with Red Trim - $9.88 with Prime Shipping
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0033RSNPG
Then got this to put it and other bits in. It's a great size, the sleeve above fits nicely in the back pocket leaving another front pocket and a small pouch on the front with some pen holders. If I was to criticise I'd say it could do with some zipper pockets and the strap could look a little sturdier. Still for $15 it's a great starter bag until you love it or fine something else.
Rothco Canvas Map Case Shoulder Bag - $14.85
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BFJE38
I also bought this but it's way to big for my needs, something I'd use if traveling but not for day to day use.
M-51 Engineers Field Bag - Military Style - Black - $29.25
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000YV6Q58
That leather bag looks sweet though.
I just bought this one last night locally at CompUSA for $24.99.Fits the Transformer while docked with the keyboard pretty nice. It also allows me to drop in the Asus sleeve right next to it. It has storage pockets on the front of it that allows the charger and cable and other accessories. So far pretty happy with it.

I've had my eye on the Tom Bihn Ristretto as well. I have a few questions and I'm hoping you can provide some additional info based you your experience with the bag.
Do you have the Ristretto for iPad/iPad 2 or the Ristretto 11" for Macbook Air?
Are you using it with the the Transformer tablet only or the dock as well?
How's the fit?

Use this as my everyday case. Love the fact it has 2 pouches (one for the keyboard and one for the TF). Sometimes I don't wanna use the keyboard and it's a pain to undock the TF to use it and then dock it back when I'm done to put it in a sleeve. Plus it holds my charger and cable. Each pouch is big enough to hold both the TF and dock together.

I've heard good things about the Tom Bihn products and it may be worth it to me if I plan on using the bag on a daily basis for several years and tablet purchases. I'm don't want to settle for a product I'm not 100% satisfied with that may not stand the test of time.
I bought a CaseCrown Messenger Bag for my TF...It fits the tablet alone fine, and also is a great fit with the keyboard attached...It's soft, but has great padding and a velcro clasp that holds the Eee Pad in it's own compartment in the bag......
Amazon.com: CaseCrown Vertical Multi-Pocket Messenger Bag (Chocolate Brown) for ASUS Eee Pad Transformer.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004T6592A
It's been working great for me, easy to load up and carry, plus room for other odds & ends you want to take with you........
Dave.......
Hands down this is one of the best bag if you plan on not having a bag that only carries the transformer and dock.

I just ordered mine should have it in a few days. I'll post a review up with pictures. I actually bought both the Up-rise 33 and the Up-rise 38. Not sure which I'll keep cause I would like to have a carry-all.
Found the Tagus Truss case for the Acer Iconia fits perfectly. Very nice leather and is able to prop it up on a table.

Hey thanks for the info.I was also wondering if anyone has tried a Motorola zoom case.It looks kinda close,but wasn't if would work or not.
The xoom is about 2 inches smaller so the cases dont work. I tried to put mine in a friends xoom case
How well does it stay in the notches when in an upright position and being used? I find my CLIP from ElectronicCrap doesn't hold the bottom of the gtablet well enough when it's in an upright position and the screen is being tapped. It drops out of the notch and falls to the bottom position. :-(
Its a very tight/ snug fit. The bottom of the gtab fits onto a pocket that is as wide as the unit. I have no fear of it coming out of this case.

Actually I meant does the tablet stay upright while set in one of the notches, not whether the tablet itself would fall out of the case when in this position. Based on the design I would assume so which is better then the CLIP case does. Just wanted to confirm. Thanks.

It would be nice if you demonstrate with a pic or 2
Thanks,
Got one!
I went to Best Buy and grabbed one. Price there was $39.99, but the G Tablet fits very nicely. I took some pictures (sorry for the low light).
The Gtab slides in there very snug and secure. The top left strap just falls in between the volume rocker. It's not too bad, you can still adjust vol up & down very easily. And that same strap falls in between the power button and the USB cover. You can stil access it just fine.
I love how the case feels. You can fold back the cover all the way back and just use the tablet straight on, or you can open it and place it in one of the 3 little slots to adjust viewing angle.
I like it, it's very comfortable to sit in bed in and use. The multiple angles allows you to have it on your lap very comfortably.

What about the charging port and the headphone jack? Are they accessible as well? I got the toshiba thrive case and i'm having to take it back since the ports were not accessible. I am thinking about picking this up instead, but I don't want to have to take the tab out of the case to charge it...
Thanks!

Charging port and headphone jack are not blocked. I am attaching a pic of the side so you can see.

If you are going to pay that much, why not consider the clip case then, its officially made for the GTab and even allow docking while the tab is inside it.

agree with above..... I purchased one tonight, great fit. Plus if I did not like it, not a huge hassle to return to the local BB. Thanks to the OG poster!

This one allows docking just fine. The bottom of the case has the area where the docking port cut out already. Lines up perfectly
I dont like the other case, I like how this one feels

Thanks for the reply.
I can't figure out how can you slide the tab in the dock with the case on. I mean its a "just fit" with only the tablet and dock, so when I tried with my own case the couple of mm's added thickness just made it impossible to dock the tablet.
Can you kindly post a pic with the tab docked while in the case ?
Canadian distributor for clip and targus cases discussed in this thread.
Does anyone know of a shop in Canada that sells either gTab CLIP case, or the Targus truss case for the Iconia?
I'm unable to find these products at staples.ca, futureshop.ca, or thesource.ca, and I don't want to pay a bunch of duty/brokerage/shipping fees getting it here.
Thank you,
Dave

CLIP for Acer Iconia A500:http://www.aliexpress.com/product-f...-multi-angle-for-iconia-wifi-wholesalers.html Good Luck
like it
I got the targus case too and I am liking it. Yaa it is a little bulky, but it feels well made and fits the gtab gr8! I love the three angles I can prop it. It also has some serious cushioning, making me less nervous about damaging my tab.
Got it from BB for $35 after a 10% off coupon for labor day.
Picked up rooCASE leather folio from Amazon, and it fits pretty well with the exception of the opening for the power button.
I got a handy candy case for the ipad. Great for carrying, I wouldn't mind dropping it a few times in this case. It also has velcro grips that can be adusted for propping the gtab up. Not great but definitely not bad.
