Advent Vega Folio Case
I have had my Advent Vega for around a month now and have been concerned about keeping it safe. So a trip to Curry's i picked up the advent vega folio case.
First impressions of the case were good the device slides nicely into the case (although it could be a bit tighter) Giving good protection to the edges of the device. I am confident it would protect from light knocks and possibly minor drops.
There are cut outs for the i/o ports, even the microphone is visible. One of the few bad points is there is no cut outs for the speakers, so the volume needs to be increased.
The material is similar to my v-smart Armour case for my desire hd, a matte black with a textured finish. The pinstripe design inside is odd but not unattractive and there is a compartment for paperwork. The case also doubles as a easel, which is great for propping on the desk or coffee table for movie watching.
Overall, I think this case adds a small amount of bulk for the level of protection and for anybody with any worries about damaging there beloved advent vega, this is a must buy
Edit: Added some pics. Sorry for the poor quality
I am searching daily for a TPU gel skin/case for the vega or its various other variants, but so far I've had no luck, If anyone sees any around then pls let me know!
Hello all
The stock case from dixons et al was to expensive to ask for me xmas pressie.
Is it worth it?
Ive seen other cases at a similar price with a usb keyboard build in, anyone got any experiences of those? (with the usb fix obviously).
or, is the std vega case worth the outlay?
Im also more interested with pound shop ipad screen covers than the 12! pound dixons/curries/pcw ones.
Again, any personal experiences?

I got one of these HP Sleeves from DIXONs, about £21
this was after hearing that the cost v quality of the Advent case wasn't all that..
Its a well made sleeve, its neoprene so fairly water resistant I assume and the Vega rests on it nicely at the right angle for viewing and typing into without slipping off..
I'm really happy with the official case as it offers some decent functionality and a good bit of protection.
Just need to get a dock now!
Definitely looking at getting a folio style case like the official Vegas one, though that one's a bit expensive at the moment. They should really realise that people paying a budget price for the device itself aren't likely to pay a premium for the accessories.

Two days ago I tried the official Toshiba Folio 100 case on my Vega (Mobii 10) and it fitted very well!
And it serves as a stand too!
(look here and click on accessories)
I didn't buy it because of the price: € 39,99 (about 33 GBP)
And I would really love a case with a USB keyboard...
I guess there's none yet that fit's the Vega perfectly without blocking the USB port...
I have ordered one of these:

if you can be patient this offering for the upcoming XOOM looks fantastic

Advent Vega Folio Case
I really dont think £29.99 is a massive amount for a case. Most cases i get for my mobile phones are between £15-£20 and they are about 1/6th the size. I think the official case offers good value for the protection it offers.
Hey
I have the Advent case. I got it from my brother as a Christmas present. When I got it the Vega fit pretty snug and I didn't have to worry about what way I carried it. however after not even a month the Vega now slips out quiet easily.
For the price I'd have to say not worth it and I'd hold off for alternatives

That one from 7dayshop is for an iPad which is quite a bit smaller, so wouldnt expect that one to fit.
Currys now sell a tablet sleeve for the Vega, i cant post links due to post count, but it can be found searching for Tablet Sleeve
I'm also after a decent fitting case

Spot on, about 30mm too short!
As 7DS didn't list dimensions, I incorrectly assumed they were selling the 1 size fits all item that most are buying. Ah well.

Just got this case from Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005MZ35NM/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8
Amazingly the only folio I've been able to find. I have the same style case for my iPad and I must set this is the way to go. Though I can see the desire for a portrait mode . The hand strap is a great touch for that.

Wow nice find.
Not sure if it's the same kind of case, but I just found
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/M-Edge+...218402861274&skuId=3441552&st=nook&cp=1&lp=15
while I was looking for a case of my own. Since the Amazon one is out of stock, it seems like an alternative.

It looks great and the size is perfect - compact and slim. How does it feel in hands - solid? Does it block the mic hole at the top?

Looking at the pics, it looks like the NT would snap into it at the four corners rather than any edges. The NT's mic is a small hole at the top of the device, offset from the center. I doubt this case would block it.
[Edit]
Sorry, I should check the reply more closely before posting. I was looking at the one from Best Buy.
This is the one I picked up. It's pretty nice, a couple of different angles to stand the NT up, and it surrounds the whole thing, so it's pretty secure.
edit: I'm not allowed to post links yet, but search on amazon for crazy on digital's folio case for the Nook Color
This may seem like a dumb question, but can you stand it up in portrait mode with this case?

I had this one for the nook color, and I loved it.
Well i just bought one from amazon. It will be hear Wednesday. I will Take pictures, and write a in-depth review on it by next Friday. I will probably be buying a couple cases, and writing reviews to help people make their decision. Im starting with this one because it has the holes for speaker in it. Which is an important feature.

ordered this before I even saw your post.
Got it, hate it. No way to really fold the cover back and use it in portrait mode. Cover doesn't close flush with the nook.
Really nice quality leather.
If you case closes flush with the nook then I might be wiling to get a replacement and see if this one is defective but I don't think the magnets are strong enough/the groves to hold it in portrait prevent it from closing flush.
Just got the Speck Fitfolio in black. It fits very well and does not make it feel bulky at all. They have also extended the "vegan leather" on the back over the hard shell making it look far nicer.
Ok I purchased this case. Like the feel of it and its not too bulky. BUT, whatever chemicle they used to coat the leather absorbed into the bezel of my nooks rubber paint coating and caused a brown spotted discoloring.... I tried to clean it with alcohol and other cleaning products but its absorbed in the coating ... im pretty pissed to be honest. I just orders a skinomi woodgrain skin to cover the damage up, and plan on taking pictures and contacting the case manufactor to have them buy me a new nook! WARNING TO ALL!
I purchased this case
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005MZ35NM/..._am_us?ie=UTF8
I've had it for about 3 weeks but haven't used it due to a very
strong chemical smell. The smell transferred to my hands after unpacking the case.
I've been waiting for the smell to go away before using it but after reading posts regarding damage the Nook finish I may never use it.
At the time I purchased my Nook I also picked up a B&N case that was discounted 30%. It's much better quality, I really like clips that hold it in place. Very quick and easy to pop the Nook in and out. The B&N case was approximately $10 higher cost but I feel it's higher quality case and worth the cost difference.
Looks like they are releasing this in 2 days!! http://pctabletcases.com/2012/01/18...-eee-transformer-prime-tf201-tablet-and-dock/
Best case hands down the brown is pretty classy!
*sigh*
More fricken leather....
Its a decent looking case but why can't we get a modern looking case using modern materials. I don't hate leather, but lets keep in in shoes and belts and off our our cutting-edge gadgets.
I rather prefer the "leather" or faux leather casings for tablets.
I feel like they tend to offer more style and can give the look of an actual accessory, which is pretty cool, IMO.
I sort of want this brown colorway. It's more "authentic" looking, compared to the black one.
Sent from one impressive piece of technology.
To each their own, of course. However there are currently a dozen or two options for people who want a "leather" style case, and practically none for people who don't like leather. Since the customers who want a leather style product are pretty covered it would just be nice if manufacturers would cater to everyone else for a while.
Thanks for the info, but i prefer the Black one...
Thanks for posting this, I really want a case that can accommodate the keyboard and dock that allows me to remove it and use it as a tablet with minimal fuss this maybe what I am looking for can't wait until it releases!
If there are any other cases like this please let me know.
Just ordered mine now... did overnight shipping after it is released officially, tomorrow.

i agree, plus all the leather cases have the same cheap look (online at least)
if someone could make a case out of canvas with contrasting colors and attractive stitching, i'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Yeah, I hate how cheap they look......
Well read the specs, they are NOT leather.
Straight from minisuits spec....
"Made with premium poly-urethane leather"
What we used to call naugahyde or pleather. Some are upset that they cant find anything that isnt leather.....well here ya go! Its not. Me, IM paitiently waiting for one that IS REAL LEATHER!
Just received mine in the mail this afternoon, and I must say... the packaging is first class, and exquisite.
Secondly, the case is a perfect fit, very snug and durable.
Materials used... exceptional. Not to mention, it looks legitimately like leather.
I highly, highly recommend purchasing one of these cases from Amazon.

Something like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqesTZRGwyQ&context=C38b7f16ADOEgsToPDskKBMFMK6BjkFCi6z3oqRqDJ would be perfect for my needs. Something I can proudly take to the office that doesn't look like it was purchased at the local Dollar Store.
Sorry for the rant but the lack of quality accessories for this tablet is killing me.
Apparently no one wants to put money into a device that may not even survive a few months. You will only get the low end stuff really. Everyone knows Apple is the real deal and isn't going anywhere....so it is a sure bet to invest. Remember, you don't need to sell Apple stock, it sells itself.
I have yet to buy one, but this is one of the few I have seen that says it is actual leather.
http://www.skindigitalstore.com/categories/ASUS-Transformer-Prime-TF201/
If you get one and like it let me know.
My friend has a roocase for his og nd its very nice.. Here is a link to one, but they make several. I like this one because the tablet is in a "detachable" sleeve. (I have a substantially similar version made by MiniSuit but it's very cheap leather - looks fine from any distance, but for $14 I know it's not good quality - it serves a purpose and looks fine for my needs.
Anyway..... check Roocase. I've seen and handled that brand and think it is nice. MUCH nicer than most anything else available. If you don't like it, return it.
I have the Caseen Skinny and it's great.
tuff-luv.com has some great albeit pricey leather cases for not only the Prime Tablet but also the Tablet and Keyboard.
The real question is: "Where are all the quality non-leather cases?"
There are tons of options for leather cases with varying degrees of quality, but there are practically no non-leather cases.
I have the cheaper poetic/mono case and it has been great. No complaints.

How is it only going to last a few months? They are releasing the tf 700 in a couple of months, but that will be the same size so if anything the lifetime will be expanded more that it normally would be.
Also this is a good case, I got the exact same type just from a different company called Acase, because it was cheaper priced.

I also looked at the Roocase but I am concerned of the thickness the case would add to the tablet.
I also purchased the Mini Suit case to hold me over and agree that it's made of very very very cheap looking pleather.
So my search continues
I bought this case off of eBay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/260938668106?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
I have several cases from this guy on our Kindles, Nooks, iPad and now TFP. Have had some for over a year and there are holding up great.
The two problems I have with this case is that it will not charge closed or when sitting in landscape as shown.
I was skeptical about different cases i kept finding online. But after taking a proper look at this one --> "GreatShield Multi-Stand Leather Protective Folio Case for ASUS TF201 Eee Pad Transformer Prime"
I went ahead and ordered it. It cost me 20pounds and was shipped from the US. In terms of quality, It is way better than any leather case for any tablet I have seen so far including those for the ipad (and I mean it). I asked someone @ my UNI to guess how much it cost me and he said "probably 70pounds". My point is, it is of the best quality, it looks sleek, professional and prestigious. Even better is the fact that it is tailor made for the transformer prime so all ports are accessible. Its design also doesn't cover up the bezel like most other tablet cases do (something i dislike with a passion).
I trust that if you go ahead and get it, you will not regret it. Here's the amazon UK link
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B006RML5ZO/ref=oh_o02_s00_i00_details
If you live in the US, you can search for it on amazon.com.
I hope this helps.
Cheers mate.
Thanks for the info jdeltree, unfortunately I have already purchased & tried this case
http://www.amazon.com/TF201-Transfo...3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1330033453&sr=1-3
which looks fairly similar and was not happy with the design. Used it for 10 minutes and went back to the cheap minisuit.
Most of my cases in the past did cover the bezel and I kind of got used to that.
I may just bite the bullet and try the Caseen one. At this rate I will end up with a drawer full of these cases in search for the right one.
Going to give the Acase another try tonight to see if I can get used to it.
The saddle leather one coming soon from tuff-luv looks promising. 99£, but saddle leather is a top quality product. Once a picture is available, ill probably order one, as long as I can get it to the states.

If you think that $10.00 is quality leather, or leather at all for that matter, then your standards are very low.
I have the caseen one, I'm pretty happy with it.. Doesn't add too much bulk but does add a good amount of protection. I feel the build quality is good too.

UGLY duckling. Also, they forgot to make holes for the speaker! A lot of cases apparently have forgotten to make holes for the speaker. I'm still using my Caseen Skinny case and I still love it.
I got my case yesterday. The most I have ever paid for a case, by a long way, and had to wait weeks because I chose the distressed leather finish but I have to say this is a work of art! Amazing looks, fits perfectly, adds minimal bulk to the Prime and makes me love my Prime again (and forget all its other faults).
One of those rare occasions when spending top dollar is actually value for money.

Do you mind taking some pictures of your leather case?
I am waiting on a dark vintage leather case from Noreve's exceptional selection for my 64 GB Prime to be shipped and sent to me.
C'mon dude, post pictures or at least a link to where you bought the case.
Here is the one I got in the Exceptional finish, costs more but fantastic worn leather look:

That is a pretty sharp looking case, but with prices starting at $105 I would wanna make sure it works with the TF Infinity (my next tablet purchase) before I go and spend that much money on a case.
Here are some photos of mine, taken with my cell phone.
It is an exceptional case, makes carrying the Prime around a pleasure, simply because the case is so damn thin, and feels so soft!
It is hard to bite the bullet on the price (mine was, I believe, $85, plus shipping, and you can find discount coupons, if you search the net to bring it down more)
Shipping is somewhat expensive, somewhere around $15, but on the bright side, I ordered mine on Sunday, and it arrived to Los Angeles by Weds. (I can be very patient, as long as I don't have to wait!)
The case has very soft, leather type material on the inside, so it doesn't put dust and dirt on the screen every time I close it, which is one big complaint I had with my Blurex case.
It also has precise openings for every port, yet provides excellent protection for the edges of the Prime. Only opening not accessable is the charger port. You need to charge it with the case open. You don't need to remove the case to charge the device, but it does have to be open.
It really gives the Prime a very elegant look, the leather reminds me of leather used on very high end briefcases or luxury cars, and the clasps work great, easy to open, easy to close, and it feels totally secure when closed.
Certainly not for everyone, but if you can afford it, and want an elegant solution to protection, this is certainly worth a look!
nice
I ordered mine few days ago ... I hope it will arrive soon. I choose the basic one to avoid to long wait
I love the noreve case.
I already got for my archos device and my smartphones.
Hi, great looking case but I can't tell from your pics if it accommodates the keyboard/ dock when attached?
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using XDA
I just received my noreve case.
Regarding the keyborad, first of all you have to know that there are 2 cases. One for the tablet only and one for both
I bought the one for the tablet only.
But you can still connect the dock and it will look like this :
I just got mine yesterday after waiting 20 days (and 7 days for UPS to deliver) and I am disappointed. Not sure if I should be, but I have sent them a mail about it.
The quality is very nice, but mine came with tons of "scratches/Scruff marks" all over the case, which makes it look like I bought it second-hand from someone who have used it extensively.
Also I ordered mine in Passion Vintage, which on the site looks like a deep red/burgundy color. Mine looks faded and like someone left it out in the sun for a month.
Front of the case:
Back of the case:
Color comparison to the color shown on their website:
Maybe I just had higher hopes .. but after paying so much and waiting so long for the case, I am disappointed. But we will see what Noreve replies back to me (if anything).

For the price they charge for those cases you would he they guarantee satisfaction.

I'm curious if you ever contacted Noreve, and if so, what their response was?
Your case definitely looks like it's been well used, not like it is brand new. I'm not sure if that's what the "look" is supposed to be, but I can understand your disappointment!
I hope they work with you to make sure you're satisfied, because the case is, as you said, excellent quality, and it's been a pleasure for me to use, for the past two weeks.
All the vintage leather cases are supposed to be distressed leather, meaning scratches and scuffs, so to me that would be expected. The color does look different what what is on the website, but personally I think it the case looks great! If the case wasn't so expensive and the wait time so long, I'd take that one off your hands.

That is the response I got from them too. My issue with that is that it is nowhere stated, that this would be the case, and all their own pics, the leather is in pristine condition (and the color is different).
So when I look at the site and order a case in a certain color and material, I sort of expect that it will look like it does on the site.
If I can't trust their pictures, then I am almost bound to be disappointed once I get the product, as it doesn't look like the presentation.
I just think the color is too faded, and had I know this, I would have gone with the black one, which I think would look better in a faded color.
There is nothing in the quality of the case that I can complain about ... it is lovely, and in fact it has 4 angles, not 3, as the two prongs that closes the case are very hard, and can be used to support the tablet at a better angle for writing
Also, you can use it in portrait mode, as the front cover, folds all the way back (there was a question about this in another thread).
And it is possible to put the tablet in the dock, without completely removing the case (if you need to recharge the battery off the dock, or just want to use the keyboard for a bit).

I have the same finish on mine and I too was a little apprehensive as the scuff marks started to mount but it gets to a point where it starts looking like vintage leather which is what I wanted. Think of it as something that will improve with age, which is very rare with gadgets!

Well I did complain about the lack of "real life" pictures of the materials on their web site, as that was the biggest disappointment. Seeing that my case's color (and condition) didn't match what I used to make the decision with.
Showing a different color and (apparently) different leather type, when I click on the link to see the Vintage Passion case, is just not good enough.
But as it turns out, they have agreed to exchange my case to another type of my choice at no extra cost (except for shipping it to France), which I think is very nice of them.
So now I need to decide if I should go for the black or brown cases, which I think will look better in a faded color.
As requested, pictures of the case after a few weeks.
I took the photos in weak morning light with no flash.

Thanks a lot .... helps a lot with my decision.
I think I really like the brown case, but I think it will require me to wait for about a month again.
