Looks nice and under $20. Assuming this is fulfilled by Amazon like their other products, I might have to pick one up.
edit: There's a video in the reviews for the iPad version. Looks great! Tight fit and very thin.
http://www.amazon.com/CaseCrown-App...Y8CR6S3G5&s=electronics&qid=1308957186&sr=1-1
checking out shows $26.56 with tax and shipping.. can this item be fulfilled by amazon at some point? i think i still might jump on this, its still cheaper than most other cases.
Damn, I'm tempted to get this. I've been wanting a good case and I already have a carrying case by case crown. But Roocase's case seems like a better option because its multi angle.
Ill probably pull the trigger on this sometime this week. I just want the thinnest stand case possible. The multi angle is less important to me than being thin and light. Most of the others are bulky and if I wanted something an inch thick that protects the screen I could just just carry the keyboard dock.
The pics on Amazon of the CaseCrown look identical to the case (Jazz) I bought from Steve over at electroniccrap.com..
http://electroniccrap.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=34_36&products_id=51
The flap on the back and the way it tucks, along with the viewing angle and case material seem quite comparable...
I'm happy with the Jazz...fit is good and material is decent, especially given the price point....is rather difficult to type at the given angle...I think I would prefer something with multiple viewing/typing angles and a little better quality material...but again, for the price paid it is a good option...I'm betting the CaseCrown will give similar results...
Ryan...should give you the thin, light case you are looking for...that was my main need and am satisfied from that standpoint...
Is this about the thinnest and lightest we can expect from a fold over case like that?
I'm getting tired of not being able to bring my transformer out due to not having any protection. Stingray, you're making me want this case even more so I hope I'm not disappointed after I order it.
Actually now that I look at it the pictures, it seems like the jazz might even be thinner than the casecrown? It's hard to tell but maybe I'm just seeing things?
Went ahead and pulled the trigger, worth trying for 25.
Finally a case built specifically for the transformer that looks decent! Definitely looking to get this. Can anyone confirm whether or not the tablet docks correctly WITH THE CASE ON?
None of them are built with the case accommodating the dock. It would pretty much require the entire bottom to be cut out.

TuffLuv will work with dock but is expensiveand the bottom is mostly cut out.
Looks right for the price. **Purchased!**
Has anyone got this shipped yet? It says in stock july 5th?
just thought i'd throw in my 2 cents here. i just bought 10 CaseCrown iPad2 standby cases for upper management at work and they are really nice cases. one of my friend had one and after messing with it, i liked it enough to recommend to the execs. as soon as the case came up on amazon for the TF i ordered one immediately.
i highly recommend CaseCrown.
Just got an "out of stock" email. They said resupply by Jul 8. Debating cancelling my order.

Got an auto email Friday stating they will ship Jun 27th but got nothing so shouted email to them and they stated they did not have enough stock to meet the preorders, next stock they receive is no later than July 8th. I threatened to cancel so they are willing to discount $3 if I wait till then. I preordered Jun 15.
I am in Canada and don't know how these guys ship so I may get this case by August. HA, HA!
Weird, just checked my email and they state it has been shipped.?

mine shipped out today, can't wait to get it!!
The dock compatibility has the downside of exposing the bottom to possible dust and impact. Only way I see a case supporting dock to be fully protective when undocked is if it had some kind of detachable bottom for when you need to actually dock, Probably would be good if it was held in by tiny pop-in buttons of sorts and with a as small a presence as possible so it doesn't cause any discomfort in holding the tablet.
The rooCase Leather Folio Case Cover has been around on Amazon for quite a while now, but I noticed today that it now has a special offer for free shipping when it does come out. Use the code "IL22S7KR" while checkout to get the $4.98 shipping discount.
Delivery estimate for me is Jan 13-17.

Thanks for alerting me to this, this is probably the cheapest case from a company I trust to have actually tailored it to a real transformer prime and not just a generic 10" android tablet case.. just ordered one
I used the slim case from rooCase for my Samsung. I liked it a lot. I'm sort of waiting for it to be available for the Prime too. I tried using the one I have on the Prime, but the case is slightly too small...

Amazon has listings for slim cases from VERTEKS and VIPERTEK that look similar to that case for the prime.
misread the post....thought we were looking at the leather case...the slim cases don't look too bad at all!
Just ordered thanks for the link
Just cant believe these guys dont have anything in stock when a new device comes out.
This looks almost exactly like the Verteks case except that this has a cutout for the speaker. Hmmm... Didn't think about the cut out for the speaker. This might make me switch my order for the rooCase.
How exactly do those hinge / snap looking things (from the VERTEKS / VIPERTEK models) work for holding the tablet? Their hold on the device looks rather precarious
ordered
this is one of the two that i can find with portrait view, the other one is not real leather and costs 20.
hopefully it's not too thick
Like to know if anyone actually likes this. Still debaiting on what to get.
did anyone got a shipping notification on this one yet?
sent them email, no reply
So you ordered the Roocase this one? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0062OKDIC/ref=oh_o01_s00_i00_details
Do you have it yet? My tablet will be here tomorrow and I ordered a Moko cancelled it ordered another purple Moko cancelled it plus neither one were in stock for awhile. I've seen this and the executive one. Do these clip on like some of the others I've seen? I don't know if I like clip on ones. I do know the executive one zips and I don't know if I will use it in portrait but it's nice to know it does it. What does this mean? Detachable Inner Sleeve for Handheld Operation Does it mean it will slide out and be covered still? Sorry I am still confused on which to buy. Does this one look any good?

Didn't see the Moko one before, I would have bought that one instead probably based on price, it doesn't look like it has the speaker cut out. I ordered the rooCase on the 3rd, estimated to be sent out on 10th, however, today is the 11th, Amazon status still says Shipping Soon, so no idea how long it'll take.
ideally, i want something really thin, doesn't cover the Transformer look, and stands landscape and portrait mode in multi angles. i don't need protection, i need a case+stand.
the detachable inner sleeve means there are two layers on the case, sleeve, and the actual case. you can use the sleeve without case, which is kind of convinient.
I emailed as well (through amazon's "contact the seller" method), no reply yet. Mine also still says "shipping soon." I paid a lot for 2-day shipping, too, because I'd really like to take my prime to a conference I'm going to this weekend. Frustrating.

So do you recommend I order the Moko cheaper one? The Roocase though says available the Moko says 1/18. But if the speaker isn't cut out then I don't want it. I emailed the company to ask them I don't now what to do but i have to leave for work and my tablet just got here YAY!

Alright my fellow Canadians, if there are any, if you have a Prime you're probably just as pissed as I am about the lack of anything for this tablet up here and even more so I'm pissed at Amazon for refusing to ship anything here. SO, if you see anything for the TP in/available to Canada, post it up here
pretty sure there aren't any sleeves for the prime yet at all. I went to staples and bought a generic netbook 10.1 inch sleeve from targus. Its a little fat for the prime but I figure it'll fit in there much better when my keyboard arrives (if ever)
Basically. Just take your prime to an electronics store and see which sleeve it fits in
I'm waiting for my Prime, but I've been lurking on this sie for a case too. I was hoping to get that roo-case listed here from Amazon. I haven't tried to order it from Amazon.com, but I did read that they will ship to Canada.
What is their reason not to ship to you?
I noticed a few of the cases would ship from amazon.com to Canada - sadly, not all, but there is some selection.
So far every one on Amazon has refused to ship up here :-( just says sorry can't ship to your address

Bummer.
Looks like another long wait.
I just checked again - all the rooCASEs and the MiniSuit one listed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377669 ship to Canada sans problem (Toronto area at least). No dice for the Verteks, Moko, or Poetic ones.
Waiting to see what else shows up myself before just grabbing whats available, though.
i have got this one ，pics added.
took 3weeks from China,high quality and really good feels when holding it.
a free gift lucky clover in Apple,nice looking under light in dark.
fits samsung galaxy tab well.
i think also fit tab with dock,i put a book with galaxy tab together. see last two pics

Yea, I can echo that statement, hah
I ordered this case off ebay. I dont even have the tablet yet but I wanted to be prepared.
case logic pls-9
I just got the case today and I must say, it is quite a nice case. It neoprene on the outside and suede on the inside with a pouch on the outside for storing cables and such as well as a small spot for a thumb drive.
If you are looking for a soft case with good padding I highly reccomend it.
I need to find this one MoKo(TM) Premium Quality Slim-Fit Folio Cover Case
Hey guys, after I emailed them to ask if they could ship here it's all of a sudden available for shipping

Yup. Shows the $5 shipping earlier but changes to $24.99 shipping in cart. Not worth it IMO.

Hey guys, email them, you'll get it for next to nothing. Amazon has some stupid requirement that things have to arrive within like 5 - 10 days at max or something like that and the only way for them to meet that is to charge $25 expedited. If yoiu email them and say you're in Canada, the guy told me he'll ship it China Post but it won't be within to 5 -10 but I don't care.
Just email em direct, BCSstore or whatever, originally the guy said just order it, put a UK or China delivery address and tell him the order number with an address in CA and he'll change it. Try it out, I got mine with free shipping and expected delivery is like 10 - 15 I think. I asked the guy if others could email direct he said sure, only issue is availability of stock
On the other hand, wanted one of those matte HHI screen protectors, they sell a 3 pack for $12 and want $24 for shipping, emailed them, they basically told be to get bent
I use this one, got it at Bestbuy for about $9 too.
Not sure if it was the 9" or 10" version
but it fits perfectly even with the dock attached.

I bought this case from Futureshop and it fits well.
Tucano Finatex 10"
http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/prod...spx?path=01bc42bce3cb207837454e115277bf6fen02
It has 2 compartments and the larger one is divided in half where the back half fits the prime alone quite well. The front half would fit the prime attached to the dock or the dock separately. The smaller compartment has a mini pocket in it to hold an iPod or phone sized device with a space for headphones to travel up the strap and exit near your shoulder.
The only thing I didn't like (it isn't specific to this case) is that the USB charger wall wart has no place to go that is not a danger to the screen if the bag gets squished.

I just can't believe how hard it is to find a sleeve/case that fits a minimum requirements.
I'd love to get the Moko, Verteks, Roocase, Vipertek, Blurex slim sleeves (the one at multi-angle, portrait only mode) as they all seem to have the necessary cutouts of ports and speaker, and would allow docking the keyboard without removing the sleeve.
Except, they are ALL unavailable on Amazon.com, and I can't find any of these anywhere else.
Only thing available are the kind of sleeves/cases which cover the front side areas of the tablets which to me, is a no go as these can not be used alongside a dock ; or those like the MiniSuit which doesn't have a stand for the tablet alone.
Worse than that, the same thing goes for the screen shields ! It's impossible to get one here in Canada.
I can't wait to start using my tablet all the time (and get rid of my aging netbook) but I'm just too afraid to scratch it.
Really frustrated at this situation. And I did spend at least 4-5 hours in the past 2-3 days researching all the above.
Am I the only one who cannot find the dock anywhere in stock for my prime? Amazon is always out of stock and no local stores have it.
I really wanted this for the dock.... Its a transformer! I But short of paying an individual seller $250 I can't figure out how to purchase it.
How should I go about getting one?

I am now on my 4th dock. They can be found. Setup an alert over on nowinstock.net. You can receive a text and/or email when once comes up but better act FAST when it does.
Check nowinstock.net as 650hpAMG suggests, and just keep checking your local electronics retailers. Places like Bestbuy get regular shipments, however due to the popularity of this tablet and Asus's relatively low manufacturing volume they sell out very fast.
Also, Officedepot.com seems to have the gray model in stock:
http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/941611/ASUS-TF201-Tablet-Docking-Station/
Seems like the gray is easier to find than the champagne. I currently have a gray dock and a champagne tablet. I only have a few more days before my return window expires on the dock, so I will soon be without a keyboard dock until I can find a champagne dock.

My local Best Buy had about 5 of the Champagne ones on the shelf about a week ago. If no stock at your local store, they may be able to order it in from another location. The only carry the Champagne one in the store though.
Amazon via tiger Direct has em for 149.99 + 5.50 shipping right now, wasnt lthere yesterday, yesterday they were 208 else where
They're out there.
www.excaliberpc.com/ has them for around $150.
Yup, you just gotta be on your toes. My finally arrives tomorrow~ My Prime will be complete
Does the Chinese dock work with US Tablets? There are some gold docks on eBay for a decent price:

And some grey ones for a slightly less appealing price:

EDIT: Yes the Chinese docks work fine with US Primes.

Thanks for the heads up! Picked mine up this morning. They didn't even know that they had any in stock. I had to ask them to check. This thing is even slicker with the dock!
I just got mine from office Depot. This is my first time using it. The keys aren't that bad, very easy to type on them with my fat fingers.

I have a Champagne tablet and a gray dock too. I had set up an alert at NowInStock and was in such a hurry to get my order placed that I didn't realize I was ordering a gray dock. I think the two-tone combination looks fine. Nobody cares that your tablet and dock are different colors (except you) Don't sweat it- it looks fine....
I really want this case. Seems for some reason it is very rare and hard to find.
I ordered one a month ago from MyTrendyPhone.com and it has still not arrived. They sent me affidavit to sign that I just sent back. I have a feeling all I am going to get is a refund.
Anyone know where I can get this case in black?
Thanks,
Chad
First I got an email saying they would be shipping me a new one.
Then overnight I got an email saying they are sold out and offering me 20% off my next order under $40. Offered me a refund as well.
Why is this case in such sort supply? I don't have one yet, but it looks to be the best case out there. It replaces the back cover which adds less bulk, and has wireless charging built in.
I have not been able to get my hands on one either.
Finally got my refund from MyTrendyPhone.com, and have now placed an order with Expansys.com. They have it available. Also got the Quick Circle Wireless Charging case ,to see which one I like better.

Looks like they only have it in white?
Bought mine from Amazon.de Germany. Use chrome browser and it will translate. Choose other sellers and pick Amazon. Got it in about a week and a half for just under $40 including shipping.
MyTrendyPhone is a garbage company. Ordered from them too but never again. The Slim Guard case is absolutely the best case for the G3. I bought mine from Expansys and received it within a week. It is every bit worth the $45 or so that I paid and yes; it is very hard to find. Your best bet is maybe a secondhand off of eBay.

I just bought two (one for me and the other for my wife) from amazon.de but unfortunately the seller didn't ship to the USA so I had it sent to my cousins apartment in Germany and she forwarded me the package which I received today.
Some pictures to share...
just purchased from Amazon.fr. 42USD.
the only seller on the German Amazon that would ship to me would charge an exorbitant shipping fee.
I have got the uk version but getting shot of it as not for me. Prefer my supacase.
