There is a Sikai case for the transformer that looks alot like the Asus branded case which is very thin (like original apple ipad case.) However this one folds in a few different ways that appear alot more like the new smart cover for the ipad2.
It is selling for 24$ with free shipping on ebay. Just ordered one can't wait to get it
any links or pictures?

Funny , coz there is original asus case with asus logo on the last photo ))
I'm not getting how the upright angle works. The folded portion looks like it sits so low; seems like it would tip back over pretty easy.

Hi, I have my sikai case since monday.
I only can speak good things about this, I recomend it.
Perfect fitting, nice material, only the hole for the camera isn't perfectly centered but it dosen't afect to the optics.
and of course with the case fitted it won't be able to dock at the keyboard.
Looks pretty nice actually. Definatley interested to see your review on this one, I might snag one if its decent quality.

How does the lid stay closed? Magnets? The folding of the lid to make a stand, is it stable?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
yes, it closes with two magnets.
and it's stable in the two positions shown in the pictures.

Can you post some pictures or a review of this case please?
Tnx
I just got it today. It got a little bent in the process of getting to my home in the mail.
I'd say a nice decent case. Due to the bending, it seems a bit odd to look. But fit is perfect and snug. All functions and keys are accessible. Camera holes are visible with no blocking.
Charging Port
Are you able to charge the TF while using the Sikai as a stand?
So I was searching for a replacement case because I'm really unhappy with my poetic slim case. I was searching on Overstock and came across this swivel case, and im in love. I've seen one similar for the ipad, but did not know one existed for the transformer. It leaves access for all ports, has a hard plastic back covered with that fake leather type feeling material. The transformer can rotate 360 degrees in the case as well as stand. The case does not add much bulk, but protects all sides, screen, and back. It closes with an elastic strap. I'm really happy with this new case!

Yep, I have about the same case, I purchased mine off Amazon. It's superb. My only complaint is that it's somewhat easy for the TF to fall out of the grooves when you have it propped up. Still, works great for what I wanted.

yea, my other case did the same thing, but it's not bad for watching movies and video clips.
Glad to hear you like it. I just ordered the same one from Hand held items. They have it for 17. 99, and I had a $5 off cupon it was under $16. Shipped.
Sent from my Transformer TF101
Yes, very good case. Most case has cut opening on the corner and the tablet will dent if drop. This case covers all corner and it is very solidly build. There is the two and three groove version, get the two groove one. Mine holds the tablet very well and doesnt came off easily.
We just received ours and I could not be happier. It's exactly what I wanted out of the case.

I have a question about this case. Can you charge the device with the case closed?
on the overstock link it says that it has cutouts for everything...they could just be saying that though

Yes you can, u can swivel it either way. That's why it's call 360, perfect isn't it?
yes! I dont know why it didn't occur to me that it would just swivel to the side with the charge port
Just received my case today from Overstock! Fits perfect. Great case...
Thanks for the heads up on this case!
I have a couple questions. How easy is it to remove for those of us who have the dock? Also if you fold the lid back how flat does it lay like if you were to read with it?
Interested, may buy one.

It is pretty easy to remove the case. It holds the tablet very securely, but is easy to take out. And the lids folks back 2 ways. Either close to the swivel point, our in the muddle if the case. either way, it lays very flat.
Is it dockable? I only ask because the picture on overstock has a dock showing. If not its still a nice case for the price.
Sent from my HTC Sensation using Tapatalk
Not to bump an old thread, but is this case available with 3 angles instead of just two? How well does the plastic housing protect the tablet? I'm assuming is not removable like the RooCase as well.
Actually this case was the second one I bought..
I love this case... the TF is easy to put in it and remove it (while still being secure) and I dont own a dock so I cant say as to that, but other than it slipping out of the grooves sometimes its the best case I have seen... this is my new go to..
Are any of the cameras obstructed by the case? My original case I replaced (rooCase) had camera holes as small as those and the back camera looked like it had a circular vignette. The front camera only became affected when the case shifted a bit. Looks like this case would have similar issues, even though I love the rotatable aspect.

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.

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!

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'm considering buying this one, because I'm looking for a slim case (tablet only) with some viewing angle stands, and this one looks really nice.
Do anyone of you have it? Would you recommend it? Does the tablet get damaged from the sides?
thanks!
I would recommend this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007P657RI/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01 over the VersaSleeve, I have both and the VersaSleeve is more of a carrying case (for tablet+dock).
i want the new one they made for the T201. Does anyone know if it will fit ours?

Somewhat fits, but don't think it fits properly - read somewhere that the cover doesn't quite properly clip on securely.
Wouldn't go there myself though.
Mine arrived from samsclub.com. Looks like a quality piece and I like the shiny brown material the sleeve is made with.

Any chance you could post a few on device pics and some close ups please? The versasleeve is on my very short list as I want more of a carrying case that a cover.
I got mine today, and I must say, it's super awesome!!
If you don't want a case that sits stuck on your table, and want more of a carrying bag that double acts as a dual-view stand for your tablet, this is perfect!
Just got one today from Buy.com. I'm using it for a tablet + keyboard carrying case which seems to be its best use. Looks nice...

Yes...
I use the VersaSleeve for a couple of months now, and I think it's great. As said earlier, it really is a 'carrying bag' which also doubles as a stand for the tablet. But if you want to use the tablet, you need to take it out of the 'bag', which is a big advantage for me because I don't want to hold a tablet and extra case, which makes it only heavier and thicker.

I am very happy with the MoKo Flip Stand Cover Case
Here is the one i am using and i just cannot get over how much i freaking love it.. I am beyond impressed. Its 12 bucks.. took about 2~3 weeks to get here. But well worth the wait. My step mom got a case for her Kindle, has the option of putting it up in a prop mode. Like for watching movies. But she paid freaking 30 bucks for it. The quality of my case is (in my mind) better than hers, it has the function to rotate the device to prop it up in landscape or portrait. I cannot explain in words how amazed i am. Prolly the best quality product i have ever gotten from China.

How's the buttons, port and slim case? Does it fits properly?
How's the build quality? Does it leave any mark on the screen when close? I have this case on my kindle and it kinda leave stripe mark due to the fabric from the case but it can be easily removed by wiping and doesn't leave any scratch. I also want this one but items from this area usually takes 2 weeks minimum.
Another thing it looks like it provides 2 viewing angle, on my kindle its only stable when landscape and it falls back when portrait mode especially for lower angle viewing.
would appreciate if you post pic showing the thickness and how it stand for both landscape and portrait in both viewing angle.
I think I will be getting this one especially available in prime
I have the versa sleeve. Got it on samsclub.com for like 12$ thanks to someone here on xda posting the sale!
I like it a lot for my needs. I had a thick poetic case, but it was too bulky. I prefer to use the tablet naked and then have the sleeve to use as a stand/carrying case. It is thick, durable and I don't worry about it when I throw the tablet in my messenger bag. The stylus loop on it is a plus.

These are on eBay for $16.

I am very happy with the quality of this case. The one issue I had with it was that it had no clasp. I do not like the idea of dropping this and having the front flip open and it land screen down. That would kind of defeat the whole purpose of having a case like this. So I modified mine with a leather strap and button clip to close it.

It feels like real leather as I believe it is. Granted it is thin as they use hard backing to make up most of the thickness, but it is holding up very well and I am very pleased with the quality. I get compliments on it all the time when I go shopping or to the bank.:good:

Well that one looks nice to. I think they both use the same leather. At least that is what it looks like. The only reason I did not go with that one is that I wanted four card slots rather then three. I like the clear fourth slot for the ID so I do not have to pull out my DL all the time. But that seems to be the only difference I can tell as far as quality and function. At least yours comes with a clasp so you do not have to modify like I did.

So, got the case today. It's highly impractical for everyday use.
* It has VERY sharp corners so do NOT put it in your pockets.
* If you want to text, the cover part bends behind and is IN the way of your left hand while you text
* The cover doesn't close flush with the device screen when closed and sitting on a desk
* The material, while it seems sturdy, feels REALLY cheap and made out of cardboard. Just feels cheap.
* If you fold the cover back when you place this case on your desk, it sits VERY awkwardly on the desk at a weird angle.
* If you want to take a picture, HOW do you take a picture with the cover closed? The camera is exposed in the back, but how if you open the cover and it hangs down, it is just * impractical to take pictures.
* The inside cover of the case is cardboard. I would NEVER put a card (only room for one) in the slot. I would be VERY afraid of it ripping and the card falling out.
I'm not sure when this is meant to be used? If you hold the device in your hand and you are playing a game or texting, the cover is very bulky that makes it very difficult to use in your hands.
All in all, I wouldn't use this as an every day case. It's a LOT more bulky when opened back on itself for use.
The sharp corners are SCARY in my pocket. I scratched my leg at least 4 times during the course of 3 hours.
The case is now sitting on my desk unused.
Recommendation:
Nice idea. Bad execution. Impractical case.
