[Q] Armored Cases - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

I love my Transformer Prime but the one thing its still missing is the armor case.
For my Xooms, I use the Ballistic case which is awesome. Otterbox has one as well but I use that for my Nook Color.
Does anyone have a good recommendation for a case like that? Rubber padded with a poly-carbonate skeleton?
I've been looking around and still haven't found one yet.

Nothin yet kid...nothin yet.
All the threads monitoring any type of case like this are in the accessories section

Gel cases?

Just curious if there are any gel cases yet? I know the Xoom has one now. I really don't want a case unless I'm going out, just want a gel case so I can walk around the house with. I've got one for my mobile phone which is just basic black, but it works great and holds better in my hand, I think the same would work better with the Transformer too.
Let me know!
I am considering the same option, for basically the same reason. I have a TPU case for my Captivate and it was one of the better investments and would live to find a similar case for the TF. Just keep searching eBay for TPU and eventually they will start appearing.

Blurex/poetic Case

Anyone know of a similar case?
I already have the poetic case for my TF101 and its by far the best case i've seen
soooooooooo .... does anyone know if there is one available ? or one very similar for the prime
I know there are some that look similar but they all have ugly faux leather that covers the whole bezel ... which the poetic case doesnt

Cheers for the link but its one of the bezel covering naff cases
This is what im after ... but for the prime http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Leathe...2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1325713011&sr=1-2
I can't post links to outsite sites, but Amazon has the case you are looking for. I ordered mine yesterday. Should be here next week. Just go to Amazon and search for "Poetic(TM) StandBook Stand Leather Case with Angle Adjustable for Asus Eee Pad Prime TF201 Black".
http://www.amazon.com/VERTEKS-Transformer-10-1-Inch-Multi-Angle-Slim-Fit/dp/B006OJ68AM/ref=lh_ni_t
Ahhh ... there is hope !!
Sadly, its not on the UK site yet but at least it shouldnt be long untill i can get one in the UK
Cheers folks !
Here's the Poetic case for the Prime
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006PWGESY/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details?tag=5336653508-20
Hmmm Should I order that VERTEKS case or the Poetic one? Both look nice since they don't cover the bezel. The Poetic one looks like a weird material. I can't enlarge the photo through amazon though so I'm not sure what type of material it is.
Danny -B- Can you post photos of your TF101 poetic case? does it look like it's the same material? can you describe it? thanks!

I've got the same dilemma. Looks like you'd get the Poetic one faster since it's in stock while the Verteks won't be shipping out until 1/18. I'm just wondering if one is more quality than the other.
I'll try post some pics when i get home.
The poetic case i have is for the Tf101, but its real leather not some cheap crap.
The inside is a kinda felt feel, almost like a micro fibre cloth and the ridged parts that hold the device up have a hard(possibly metal) lip so the TF sits in the position without falling.
have a look at this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7tucRh0YP0

Are the Blurex and Poetic cases exactly the same, just rebranded?
Very slight differences, like where the camera cutout is... on the blurex its more of a V shape, nothing that makes any difference to us but possibly got patents
Gotcha. I'm about to place an order for the Poetic case right now since since they actually have them in stock. Thanks.

Cool !
Let us know what you think when it arrives.
Got an email from Blurex that they should have a case ready for the Prime in about a week.
Urgh, ordered the folio-style, THEN discovered this thread. Gonna have to see how the reviews pan out. O well, only a $10 case anyway (or 1.5 beers/a cab ride/one lunch in NYC).
Hi,
Anyone knows another place to buy the poetic case?
Amazon UK doesn't deliver to Spain.
Thanks
These two are very similar at Amazon (sorry, as a newbie can't post links yet):
MoKo(TM) Premium Quality Slim-Fit Folio Cover Case with built-in Multi-Angle Stand for Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime TF201 10.1-Inch Android Tablet
ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime TF201 MiniSuit 3-View PU Leather Case and Cover with Keyboard Port Access (Black). LCD Cleaner Included
I have ordered the first one after the comments on another thread here.
I live in Madrid and both can be delivered to Spain.
thanks lucpol but I have the tf101 not the prime...
Are these compatible with the tf101?
thanks
This is the Primer thread, that is why I assumed you had the prime.

Leather Belt clip/holster?

Looking for a quality leather belt clip/holster for my 4G LTE and not finding much.
This is what I had for my Evo and 3vo
http://shop.htcpedia.com/htc-messenger-side-case-with-belt-clip.html
Looking for the same thing for my Evo LTE.
Found this:
http://www.amazon.com/Horizontal-Le...7I/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1338874338&sr=8-15
and not much else.
Do any of you know of something similar that isn't a cheap $12 POS?
I also found this and it's right up my alley.
http://www.spigen.com/htc-evo-4g-lte-crumena-leather-pouch-series.html
but no belt clip.
I got something like that from walmart. It's in their electronics/cell phone accessory section. It's textile, not leather, but has a similar clip on the back. Uses velcro not magnets to hold the front closed (somewhere I read that magnets can be damaging to the digitizers????). For $10, I can't complain. Phone still fits even with the tpu cover on.
If you got no cover, verizon has a nice leather case that fits also, and is leather. $20
Thanks for the reply - I'm looking for something a bit nicer than textiles. I'd really prefer leather.
Any idea what phone the verizon case is for?
I too have been looking for a good leather belt case, but have found none.
Have you found one yet?

Still looking. I have a local contact who works exclusively in leather. I've asked him to see how much it would be to make a case like the HTC one I already have, with the higher quality of the Spigen one.
I'm still looking. Anyone find one that fits yet?
I apparently used the wrong search terms and didn't see this thread until just now after posting this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1697882
They day I got my phone in the mail I went to best buy since I knew sprint didn't have a leather case yet. Found this, it's by rocketfish. Best holster I ever had, and I only use holster's with all my phones. I don't like hard cases. The magnets are strong, it feels great, soft inside, the clip is very strong so it won't come off your belt, and the best part is there is a hole in the bottom you can use a finger to push the phone out with so you can get it out of the holster easier. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Rocketf...Id=5070815&st=rocketfish phone case&cp=1&lp=3
I got the one for the evo 3d for my LTE and it fits little snug but it works only thing I could find. I might need to get the last one a bit expensive but it is what I wanted just like my old blackberry pearl case.

I also bought this case. I highly recommend it if you want a horizontal holster
Edit: I decided that I wasn't gonna run this phone naked, so I exchanged the holster for the Platinum Series case and holster. Forgot to check and see if the Platinum case fit in the leather holster. If someone doesn't try it before Sunday, I will, and post results. I really liked the leather holster
Sent From My Righteous EVO 4G LTE
That appears to be one of the better leather cases I've seen to date.
I'll check it out tomorrow at my local Best Buy.
Thank you for the link.
Noreve
Hello Everyone,
Hopefully Noreve will come out with one soon. They have one for the One X
Monnie
Definitely headed to Best Buy tomorrow. That's just what I was looking for and not finding. Looks about like the old HTC leather case I had and still used with my 3D.
I'm pretty sure that I'm going to get a custom leather case from easecase. They've been around on ebay for a long time and I've seen reviews going back to the fuze praising their cases.
Did you ever get your easecase case? How is it?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
I'll be looking into easecase as well. They made a nice one for my OG EVO to my specs (I wanted it to fit a cased device).
Not cheap, but they do good stuff.
SPE Leather Cases are the best. Period.
I've been using them since the OG Evo.
I'm waiting for them to release the case for the EVO LTE.

I also ordered myself a crocodile case from PDair.
It just came in, and works great.

I'll upload some pictures later.
I know this is a old thread but might as well ressurect it .
I bought this belt case
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0083VHWFE/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
Hopefully it fits my EVO 4G LTE and my SGS3. Its only $5 after shipping.

Otterbox Defender / Griffin Survivor Style Case??

I always use an Otterbox or Griffin heavy duty case for my electronics. I was wondering if there was such a thing our tablet? I also have a keyboard dock and don't want to have to remove the case to use it! Even better would be one that also protects the dock! Any suggestions or other brands?
Thanks!
Otterbox never made cases for Asus. But you could do a search for Gumdrop on Google. This won't protect your dock however.
I think however that you will have a very very hard time to find a case that is sturdy, splash-water and dust proof that will protect your tablet AND dock.
Yea
I really just want a case like the gumdrop but at least have the ability to dock the tablet without ripping off the 3 layers . I am thinking about making a modded case of sorts. Ill keep looking for now and post what I find. Thanks for the tip.

Hardshell case

I recently got my TF300T and I'm looking for a hardshell case, as most of the ones I've come across are sleeves, huge rubber cases. I have found some "full" cases but they are made of leather. Any recommended cases? I will more than likely always have the dock on but it should have an easy release method if I need just the tablet.
Have you looked on Ebay or Amazon?
I'm gonna start looking for an actual hard case to carry mine in. I've been sliding it the laptop compartment of my backpack but I'm worried the screen is gonna get cracked. Matter of fact, I'm gonna go look at Ebay and Amazon right now.
If I see anything like what you're looking for I'll post you a link.
maybe something like this?

Greetings!
Something like a less heavy duty version of this: http://www.amazon.com/Heavy-Transformer-TF201T-Pad300-TF300T/dp/B008B11FB8/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1388019602&sr=8-16&keywords=tf300t+case?
I have the slim fit folio case and it's not that great
I have a leather case for both the tablet and the dock. It makes it like a little netbook when both are attached. Works quite well for me but then I am the only one to use the tablet and don't let it near any kids. I got it from Amazon. As I am on less than 10 posts I cannot but a link in here
