Hello,
I have seen many posts individually but none that compare all the ones available. Anyone use or try a few them with some results/feedback ?
I don't have a dock so that isn't too important.

I use this Black silicone case on my TF and like it. Has a nice feel to it too.
The ones from overstock are only $5.99 and come in a array of colors. Cheap plus choice equal win.
The Transformer has enough lip around the screen that I'm sure any silicon case will fit nicely.

Hi all, I know there aren't too many ATT specific cases out there yet, but I did want to do a quick review of the one that I ordered from TPU-cases (I got mine off ebay, but they have a regular site as well).
The one specifically I got was the Matte Back Black Flexible TPU Case.
Overall, the case quality is solid -- compared to other TPU cases I've had in the past. It's solid enough to provide basic protection, but not too flexible (like silicon) that you have to worry about it stretching and losing its shape over time.
I opted for the matte black version, but I believe that there are other types to whatever fits your fancy. (I think the matte was/is so popular, it may be out of stock).
The other nice thing is that they throw in a free screen protector. It's a decent clear one (not anti-glare), which is my preference. It's not on par of the quality of let's say a Realook or a SGP, but for free, who's going to complain?
So on to the case review...
1. I've attached a few photos to show the overall fit of the case. It fits well, and doesn't add much thickness to the case at all (which is a huge plus for me).
2. There is a little bit of a "lip" on the front, so it you do place your phone face down on a table, it leaves enough gap to protect the screen (as opposed to laying completely flat).
3. There is a decent size cut out for the power button, but the volume rockers are actually covered. However, no functionality loss on the power buttons -- in fact I think they may actually make it easier to use.
4. There is a cutout for where a lanyard hole should be -- (aka the international version), but no biggie here.
5. On the bottom, standard cutouts for the microusb port and the primary mic.
6. For the back, nice cutouts for the camera and the speaker on the lower right.
Now for the million $$$ question -- is the top aligned correctly for the secondary noise cancellation mic???
Fortunately the answer is YES! I believe this case was originally made for the international version (evidence from the lanyard hole), but the designer -- either in a stroke of pure genius and foresight (or just plain laziness) made the top cutout for the mic large enough where it does not cover the off-center version of our mic. So it looks like it could accommodate either the international or ATT version of the SGSII. I've tried to get a close up of the top so that you can see what I am talking about.
Overall -- for a shade under $9 USD for a nice looking/fitting case and a screen protector - I would say it's a great deal.
As I mentioned earlier, unfortunately it looks like the matte version is out of stock, but the other versions should be just as good.
Site: http://goo.gl/U4KHI (main site) or you can check ebay under the seller "TPU-cases" -- http://goo.gl/kNzh1 (ebay store)
UPDATE: I didn't realize they also have an Amazon storefront, so it's available from several sources: http://goo.gl/ltQnW
I have the same exact case for my international sgs2. It's pretty good, though some micro usb cables don't work with it.
Edit: got mine from their amazon storefront.

Exact same case. Bought from Amazon for 10 bucks, prime shipping. Costly for tpu, but it had cuts for top mic as well. Fits perfectly.

I bought this along with the gloss black. I am using the gloss black as I think that it looks better (my opinion) as this matt one looks a little worn out of the box. This is only my opinion.
I was just checking out these cases on amazon and i wonder, is this the closest thing to the flexible TPU case that bodyglove made for the Captivate? It sounds like you may have had the same case for your previous phone, how does it compare?
For those who are wondering, this is the old case http://www.amazon.com/Body-Glove-Mirage-Samsung-Captivate/dp/B0040M7H96. If bodyglove made the same exact thing that fit the GS2 i would buy it in a heartbeat!
If these cases are the closest thing available i might just have to get one to see for myself. How do you like the case now that you've had it for a little while?

Actually I did have the BodyGlove case for my Captivate since it was one of the first decent cases to come out. I am not sure if you had this issue or not, but I have some scratches at the top of my phone (small ones though), but I do believe it was caused by the BodyGlove case (perhaps a little too rough on the inside).
But as for the overall material of the case -- yes, the BodyGlove case is also TPU, which is the same material. The only difference is the BodyGlove was solid black with some texturized ridges, and this case is matte black (but they also come in semi-transparent -- just comes down to your choice in visual aesthetics).
If you liked the material of the BodyGlove, then I think you'd be happy with this one as well.
i have this same case, its nice
Ditto, great case for the money. Switched to a mesh cover though as I find it's a bit sleeker, but keeping this as backup.
Love this case...
Hi all, I've been following the board almost everyday, but it seems like many are interested in the Leather Portfolio style cases. Are there any portfolio style cases that are "not" leather (including the synthetic leather)? I'm just not really a fan of leather at all. Thanks in advance if anyone found any.
I think that all of he slim cases available right now are (p)leather. I also don't like my gadgets to look like they came out of a 1996 Skymall catalog so I have been looking for more modern case designs and have been sadly left empty handed.
Perhaps the TF Prime is just too new, for some reason leather-style cases always seem to be the first ones available for any new device since they are cut & sew. Maybe in a few months we will start seeing form-fitting TPU, silicon & siliconed fabric cases.
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:

Iam looking for a full body skin made of silicon.
Armor suit has two right now
http://www.armorsuit.com/tablets-sc.../asus-tablets/asus-transformer-pad-tf300.html
I am also looking for a good armored back shell if that is what you mean?
I have one on my Galaxy Tab 7, it is a hard shell covered with silicon (like this one, mine was much cheaper if i recall right ). It fits tightly around the edges, can handle some drops, makes the tablet not much bigger in size and the tablet does not slip out of your hands easy and the screen never touches the surface if you lay it on a flat surface with screen down.
The nearest thing i can find at the moment is the one from Gumdrop. But I think it will make the tablet too bulky and the shipping costs to Europe are almost as expensive as the case itself.
The TF300 is fairly new, so it will take some time before factories start producing skins for our beloved tab.
I check eBay and Alibaba on a regularly basis and the only cases that i can find right now are leather ones.
I think in a month or two China will be flooding the world with affordable, good, sturdy, sleek and practical cases.
If i find one sooner then you i'll let this thread know.
Edit:
Ah now i read you want FULL body armor of silicon. Then I ony know of Gumdrop and Otterbox. The latter does not have a case for the TF300 yet.
Case of TF300
When can we take a group to buy the TF300 case ?
wont amor suit+ full body cover plus a folio case be enough for protection?
I have currently found 3 metal bumper cases, the first is the Devilcase which is too bulky imo.
I found the following two cases
ZLDECO
LIKESEA
I'm not too sure what kind of quality these cases are, and to me they seem like the same case too. Anyone that has any input or recommendations will be greatly appreciated.
I have had that bumper before and a couple other ones from ebay, they do not fit the phone well and it moves around in the bumper. Also after a bit of time there seems to be little chips on the frame from cases.
