Well I like the material and footprint of the Ipad's smart cover. I have seen one case that was a similar material, but had terrible reviews and I think fit into the dock holes. I want a simple cover that can stay on when I'm using the dock, and doesn't have random grips all over the place.

Anybody looking to dress up their transformer?
Protective Decal Skins for Transformer tablet
Have you tried them, any feedback? I bet they look cool once installed and quite a conversation starters in public?
These look pretty nice, but I'm hoping Phantom Skinz makes some for the transformer, so I can match it with the white carbon fiber chromatics skin on my white Evo.

I actually bought those 3 dollar transformer decal sticker from ebay to cover both the tablet n the dock
Bit cheesy but what the heck
I have never used skins on any of my electronics but some of these look pretty cool. Any thoughts on whether covering up the back of the Transformer would cause heat buildup issues?
Also isn't the transformer textured? Does it stick to it or look funny bumpy once it is on. My transformer should be coming in a few days.
Hi all, any suggestions for a slim case that doesn't cover the entire bezel? Also magnet free. I have one from eBay and have 2 problems. One, the magnets cause GPS and compass interference. Two, it covers the entire bezel all the way around and a lot of times even covers the menu buttons on bottom of the screen. All suggestions would be much appreciated.

search amazon for:
Acase (TM) Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF101 Leather Case Folio with multi view Stand for Asus Eee Pad Transformer
that one doesn't cover bezel either
I recently received this case after having been sent a similar one that was meant for the TF Prime. While not yet generally available, the Dual-Axis was a nice step up for a couple more dollars. All the ports are very much available including the earjack. The cutout on the cover for the camera is still insufficient in my opinion. This could because the thickness of the sleeve makes it a bit distant from the cover and even though aligned, I think the camera lens has more of a wide angle and still picks up the edge of the outer cover. Not a big deal as you can remove the inner sleeve as it is held by velcro and take a photo that way and then put it back in the leather cover.
The whole case feels sturdy and thick and the leather is nice. It also has magnets in the flap to keep it secure. None of the tablet sticks out so I feel confident if I drop it that the tablet inside would come to no harm.
The positions available from the ridges on the inside cover really work well.
One other drawback is the outside cover had no cutout for the speaker though the inner sleeve does. So basically you do have to extend out the sleeve to avoid muffling the sound. However, I have a pair of earphones and with the jack fully exposed that is not much of an issue.
In summary, while this case has a couple of shortcomings, they can be worked around easily enough and in whole I really enjoy this case. Kudos to PC Micro Store on Amazon for sending me this new case in exchange for the one that was for the Prime.
It says on the description that all open ports are available, does that mean you can use the keyboard dock with this?

I don't own the keyboard but the bottom of the detachable sleeve has the charging port and the two keyboard attachment slots exposed but not sure that it will still work with the sleeve installed.
If the case still goes around the bottom at all then not likely it will not work as the tablet goes down into the dock quite a bit.

What is the thinnest folding case available
I am looking for a case for the 300 that is as thin as possible. I really only care about scratch protection, I don't expect it to protect from drops (not that most case will provide that protection anyways). I do need it to have a stand function to watch movies. Since this is already thicker than prime I want to minimize that as much as possible.
Even the cheapie vinyl thin case that came bundled with the Acer a500 at costco would be fine. It was very thin.
The case I have for my ipad2 is tapered at the edges to keep the profile as thin as possible instead of being just squared off at the side edges. In other words, it should wrap around the side edges like a glove.
i just ordered the MOKO slim fit case from amazon. I hope this caters to your needs. it's slim and tough enough to even withstand drops.

decent but not quite what I am looking for. The case you are talking about clips or hooks onto the tablet in about4 to 6 areas (4 corners plus maybe 2 additional top and bottom). It leaves alot of the edge exposed. On th eplus side it is usually a hard back case so decent protetion.
However, what I had in mind is a case that slips all around the edges of the tablet. Most cases are designed like this but except what I have in mind would be slimmer with the edges tapered to match the edge of the tablet but still wrapping the entire tablet (except at the ports). Hard to tell, but I think this case fits that description but it is for tf101 only:

Honestly? I am still waiting for something the like the shell+smartcover that my mom's Ipad has. That really is brilliant stuf.
For now I found this to be the thinnest sleeve/cover/whatever
Urbanflip series on HandiHeldItems
I have one and had to adjust the hole for the headphone jack.
But it works pretty good, is a lot thinner that some other case I bought and has a cut out for the charger.
But an Ipad-like smartcover .. to me that's the bomb

Wow, that's almost exactly what I'm looking for - just with the ability to use it with the dock! They have this one on their site that does just that:
HHI Keyboard Case with Slim Portfolio Stand Cover for Asus Transformer Pad TF300
I have a carbon fiber leather case for my Galaxy Tab 10.1 and won't buy another case unless it's the same material, it looks so slick and resists scratches and hides dirt like no other case. Since getting it, I've taken out the tablet probably 3 times!
Good find!

These are nice! To bad the carbon fiber one won't be out until June 18!
From my long awaited and totally worth it EVO LTE!
All 3 of these are pretty much the same and is the thinnest case out in the market:

I also found a similar case on Ebay but it looks slitghtly cheap. I wish it wasn't microsuede:

This case is also very thin but I can't find it anywhere outside of the wholesale site:

Have One, Love It
I've had the roocase for 6 months now, and I have to tell you I love it. If you're primary concern is protection, is is superb. The inner sleeve (that the tablet actually fits into) makes it super easy to hold on to. Put it in the main case, prop it up for easy hands free reading or watching a movie.
Just thought I'd share my opinion. These cases used to be really expensive. I'm at work, and they have Amazon blocked so I can't see if it's exactly the same case, but mine is leather. Has zippered outer case, and sleeve that fits inside.

Glad I didn't buy it back when I bought the tablet now. Can't beat that price!
