Have been searching a long time for a slick, non-bulky case for TF201&dock. Today, I found one for the TF101 and am wondering if anyone has seen a similar one for the TF201.
The TF101 version can be found at:
hzhkkj[dot]com/product_show.asp?pid=1579&bigid=2&smallId=735
Would be the nicest case I have seen around!
Yes, I have one and it is very good. already use four days and was really mean something else. just did a search on ebay for sikai and prime and voila...
Edit: i don't use it with the dock... for me the dock is just for extra batery. I prefer a thin case like this without the leather
Just ordered the case, with free shipping from:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190638465174#ht_6644wt_1043
Will do a review once received.

@rndmnss: Can only be used without the dock....
@boyboi1234: Don't like the framing around the screen, but it's getting close!

I'm hoping that it will be similar to the TF101:

Even if it isn't, I was thinking of getting a separate case for tablet and dock anyway...
Ehmmm...I hope not... That's Fugly!!!
Don't want a whole rim around the front-end and what's up with that flap over the dock?
Just got an update over the mail of the seller (/maker?) of the TF101 version: The Tf201 version is going into production!!! I'll get an update as soon as they are for sale...Keep you posted!
It's in production!
Check it out: http://www.hzhkkj.com/product_show.asp?pid=1591&bigid=2&smallId=785
Ordered one, will update when arrived (20 days or so from now....)

I Love the look of this case.
So much, I want to order one myself.
Price looks great as well ($31)
Trying to register was a pain to start with.
Once that was done I received a very unclear activation email.
The so called English on the site itself and the email was real bad.
After that, I tried to go back to the website to order my goodies.
But all I get is a page loading error.
Finally I decided to quit .
I even feel uncertain now about the website at this moment.
I might (hope) to be wrong but at this moment I want to wait and see how your order ends.
Please update once you receive yours, because I really like the look,of it.
Good luck !!!
Yeah....that site isn't really good, just use the E-Bay site: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sikai-leath...840246?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2c64829436
It's also cheaper there....

Thanks a lot for your reply.
I ordered one right away.
23 euros and free shipping, seems a great deal !!!
Just got the case today and so far I am happy with it. I like the feel of the case and it does not add much weight since it has been made from a light weight material.
The cut-outs all line up and the quality is good. Just tried taking some photos and there doesn't seem like there is a problem (I know that the cut-out can sometimes affect the flash). What I also like about the case is that I can access the charge port easily.

Lol, I think I agree with you after a second look at it. I ended getting a separate Case Logic tablet bag and just received my Sikai case today. Tried it with the dock but it really does look ugly and it's not very functional since the flap covers part of the keyboard.

The vid also has a link to the xda thread which provides a more in depth tutorial.
I just got my Sikai case it. It is pretty sharp looking!
For me the best feature is that it doesn't look like leather or fake leather. It has a nice minimalist modern appearance to it that doesn't feel pretentious but woudl work well in a corporate environment.

wow they sell it twice the price outside china.
I wonder if it still fits in the keyboard docking station.
It's got the cut outs for it but I think the silicone plus the transformer will not fit in the docking holder.

they can charge whatever right now...since they are the only ones making a silicone case.... give it a month or so..... prices will be about 5 dollars shipped from China
Please post some pics when u get ur case. Also u can call me a lier but before i even got my transformers i was already looking for a case, and on amazon i got to see a few tpu cases, like the ones from amzer, u know the ones with the sketchers on the back, and now for some reason when i google them i get nothing, and there were like 20 people selling them on amazon. So please post some pics i wanna know if this is real, also comments about how good and hard the silicone is.
I just put in an order for mine earlier. (Forgot to lastnight) Should have it within 15 days, least thats what they said. Got the black one, wish they had a grey, but oh well.
Looking pretty good. Very tempted to get one but hmmm I guess it won't play nice with the dock.
order a black one...hopefully it wont take too long to get here.
i dont think manycases will be compatible with the dock.
from what I read on Chinese website. this condom case doesn't fit really well, lil bit spacy.

Found on eBay and ordered. About $40 US. Will report back when I get it. Looks good at first blush.
Got an email stating the case is on its way. Actually, in this country so hopefully should have it in hand within days.
Arrived today. Not bad shipping from the UK I must say!
First impressions: Nice feel to what doesn't seem like top-grain cowhide but better than I honestly expected. Smooth and supple. Overall construction better than average. Little fuzzy end that you can see on the lid will be trimmed but that's the only one. Snaps are secure and hidden when closed (nice touch!). Magnetic closure on top flap not too tight but no danger of flipping open. I know the stitching "looks" light but it's really black. None of the ports are covered. Dock fits quite snug as does the tab. Both join up nicely and the case wraps well around both. Camera opening line up well.
Overall, I am quite pleased.
November Update:
After using the case for a couple months now remain very please with the durability of the case overall. Have not done anything special, just back and forth to work and back. Great deal. Very pleased.
Finally ! This is the type of case that I have been searching for. Looking forward to your review.

Same here. Now that the battery drain on my keyboard has been repaired I also wanted something like this. Did not want to shell out over $100 for the TufLuv case though.
It's coming from across the pond so it'll be a while I suspect.
Looking forward to your reply as well.
seems to come with a bunch of accessories. i just ordered mine as well

Must say I saw that (or something like it) earlier. I tend to shy away from ordering anything from HK or China only because it takes so dang long to ship anything!!! Thought shipping from England might be shorter.

Hmm!
I got the tuff-luv verison from amazon (used vouchers so it cost me nothing)
This one sounds better!
The tuff-luv one fits OK mostly. But the ports on the keyboard can be blocked when you open it as the keyboard is only fastened at the front so it slides back as you open the case. The back camera partly obscured as well!
This is a straight 1on1 copy from the tuff luv version, except for a few minor details.

True I think.
The Tuff-luv version has a stand on the back of the tablet case. Its fixed position, but actually works farly well for my useage. The keyboard looks better held on this version though.
On balance I think this ones is actually slightly better!
Thanks for the review and the pics ! Does it work well as a tablet only case (without the keyboard attached ?

Sure does and has the same flap to prop up the tab. Works seamlessly with both. Quite a snug/secure fit. Agree that it's a Tuf-Luv clone. I wanted the Tuf-Luv but just couldn't justify the price! Very pleased with this one.

i just got it today not bad. fits perfectly but the stylus is a tad nonsensitive. a few wads of cotton stuffed in its cap worked
by the way for those of you who want it. the deal is slightly changed. the seller is giving 2 screen protectors this time :/

Ditch the stylus. The Adonit Jot is the stylus to get. Amazing stylus. Works excellently with the TF.
thanks for the idea. Ordered this yesterday, got an email saying that it was shipped today. May take a while to get to NY, so we'll see. Thanks again.

You're quite welcome. Took less time than I thought it would. Enjoy it.
I almost ordered this, even though I have no idea when I'll actually get a prime, but Amazon has a few of the oddly-named 'Sleeve Cases" available. Here's the grey:

Awesome! Got one. Hopefully my wife actually bought me the Prime for xmas.
Got one here, too. Thanks!

That's exactly what I would like to know. I ordered mine but I'm dying to know if they stick or not.
I'm guessing we'll find out tomorrow when some of us will get it delivered.
How is that case? It looks cheap for $40.00
It has been said they do not. the stiff cover causing them to stay close to the tablet
Haven't been paying attention to the accessories section have you???
I got one... will be here tomorrow... ETA on my Prime: Jan. 9th
At least I'll have something to look at till then, and think about what it will look like on my future tablet.
purchased yesterday, chose free shipping and looks like it went out today and will be here friday!!!
I want to get one, but I want to use my $10 credit on it. Come on Amazon.
The cover has a hinge on it which keeps it closed. It snaps into the dock connectors then opens and closes similar to a laptop lid. I saw it on one of the reviews, but I have looked at so many videos I can't remember which one it was, but the guy liked it. I wonder how strong it is though.

word. just ordered one as well. nice find, kind of a leather case combined with a smart cover.
Before you start to order stuff, what if you want to just hold onto the tablet with your hand and NOT use the stand? Looks like you will have a large flopping cover to deal with which looks to be a pain in the butt. There will be times I want to use my tablet on the go and not use a stand at all...the last thing I want to deal with is the cover getting in the way. Maybe that's why they don't post any pictures of it in a NON stand way? There will be much more out there soon once the tablet picks up pace.
Eh... I had one similar on the xoom and it was fine. You fold it behind. Point is you will most always use the lap angle
Nice! I bought one and will (hopefully) get it this Friday. I just want something to add some protection. This is the only one I've seen that is shipping now. There were only 9 left so I ordered one.

Yes and it's better than the wedge in the back type stand. I am sure better cases will be made but this is a great starter for protection

Just ordered one overnight, 3.99 with Amazon prime. .
Looks nice. Once all the issues are ironed out on the prime this may be the case to get.
Reminds me of the ipad 2 cover except this looks much more professional. Definitely ordering one.
My SGSII HercuDom needs more w00t. It always needs more w00t!
Mine will be here tomorrow, i'll post pics and let you know how it is.
looks to be everything i wanted.. smart cover angles, back protection and thin.
I ordered one when it said in stock... when I went to the item just now it says in stock January 1st.... Does this mean our orders won't ship? Or does it mean they ran out after our order and we are safe? OR-Will we not get this for another week?
This is just like Waiting to get the Prime all over again.
Mine is in route.. Have the tracking number
Mine didn't ship today... my guess is that it should ship tomorrow, because it does not say on my order that it will not ship until Jan 1st.. we shall see
Nice case! Looks pretty solid, please follow up with pictures and your thoughts!

Hey guys, just wanted to post my video review of this case. It really is a great case an I have been using it with my TP whenever I don't have it docked. I am looking forward to the release of their Portfolio case, which is essentially the same as this one except it holds the keyboard dock as well.
I included a coupon code for Amazon, it should make this case about $10. Enjoy!

Thanks bud.. Just ordered, code worked for me!
I also really like the Poetic Case. Doesn't add a lot of bulk, yet provides good protection. I like that it does not cover the bezel, unlike other leather cases such as the Caseen. My only critique is that the grooves in which the Prime rests in at 3 angled positions could be a bit deeper, as sometimes the Prime will slip out of the groove, particularly the first narrower angle groove. Other than that, great case for the price!
May I have the a coupon code? Want to order one for my Prime. Many thanks.

Great case. I bought it for utility as a stand/cover but I dropped it on the pavement one day trying to carry too many groceries.
Not a scratch.
Thanks for the review and the coupon. I have one coming my way for $9.95!
I bought mine last night. Its my first case for my prime. I'm still saving for my dock. It was eligible for amazon prime so It will be in today hopefully. Your code didn't work for me though. Still looked like a great case from your video.

Anyone have a quick fix for how to get it to sit in the slots more stable? They aren't deep enough to hold the prime in place sometimes.

Mine does not have holes either.
You got the case with the white stitching (as opposed to black stitching) around the outside edges, right? I know they sold 2-3 versions of the case that are very similar to each other, but not the exact same.
My case has black stitching, or very dark, if you will.
For the money, this really is a good case. I've been very happy with it so far. I only bought till better cases came out ,but now I like it so much I haven't even bothered to look for something different.
