Never
there is no over doing it when it comes to the PRIME! A beast in all aspects! Im wanting to buy the keyboard and mouse for mine though... i need to look into an OtterBox case if they make one too!

I don't think OtterBox makes a case for the Transformer Prime, but GumDrop makes one, and today is the first day they're shipping them out!
Also has very good protection for the Transformer Prime, even comes with a clear plastic layer to protect the screen!

Cases?....

I recently got this tablet, and purchased a leather type of case (the kind you can fold back to prop it up...here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/CaseCrown-Bold-Standby-Case-Asus-Transformer-Pad-BK-/180690088957?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item2a11f7f3fd)...
and now I am thinking that I may like something else better like perhaps a sleeve or a carrying case of some sort, but I do not want anything big or bulky because I picture that I will put it inside of my backpack anyways....
for example, I was currently thinking of one of these, or a variation of...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Sleeve-Case-Bag-Asus-EEE-Pad-Transformer-/130570427400?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item1e669a9c08
http://www.ebay.com/itm/10inch-Black-Tablet-Case-Asus-Eee-Pad-Transformer-TF101-iPad-Amazon-Kindle-/390365347260?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item5ae3967dbc#ht_2282wt_1401
http://www.ebay.com/itm/10-Tablet-Bag-Case-Pouch-Asus-Eee-Pad-Transformer-/250888743857?pt=AU_TabletAccessories&hash=item3a6a226bb1#ht_1480wt_1144
I figured the extra pouches can serve as a spot to hold the charger and whatever else accessories I happen to have at the time..
Please give me your opinions and recommendations, I am open to all..
I am also considering the sleeve, I simply want something cheap to protect the device some when I put it inside a suitcase/backpack. Wonder if anyone used these?
I use the Case Logic VNA214 14.1 inch attache, and the AYL Leather Cover Case Folio for Asus Eee Pad Transformer from Amazon.com.
(sorry there are no links, I haven't posted enough yet)
The bag is perfect, holds everything i need with the TF: Bluetooth mouse, charger for TF, charger for phone. Keyboard dock (even when not in use), head phones, notebooks, etc. Main thing I like about the case is that it let's the transformer sit a tad higher so it can use the charger while standing up.
Hope this helps!

My I ask why you bought the VNA214 instead of the VN210 (10 inch) ?
Is VNA214 (14 inch) not to big for it ?
I just ordered a Sling-bag and a sleeve for under $20 USD shipped
Portable Soft Protect Cloth Cover Case Sleeve Bag Pouch for 10" Tablet PC MID
from - ebay for $3.15 free shipping
Kensington iPad Sling Bag - Black
from - ebay for $15.99 free shipping
I can't post links yet but if u copy/paste them in ebay search they should come up easily.

I wanted a bigger bag. But the reviews I read on the 10 say the 10 fits the TF just fine. And the 14 fits with room to spare, without seeming to big. I didn't want the 10 because I felt it would be too small for everything I wanted to carry with me, and I felt it might appear as a man purse, which is definitely not my thing! But it would work, I am sure, for a sleeve type replacement.

iGadgitz Black EVA Travel Hard Case Cover Sleeve

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B005HI4FPG
does anyone have this case? from what I can tell, the tab goes one side, the keyboard dock the other and it's a hard shell carry case.
however, nowhere to put your cables.
does anyone know of a similar case to this but with an pouch as well for cables? I know it's a TF101 case, b ut considering the prime is a small item it will fit this case easy.
I am looking at this case as well as I read about the reviews on the office transleeve having all the problems with the tablet and the lack of availability online. From the pictures on amazon it seems that its quite thin to carry around. I read a review somewhere maybe from it official website saying that this can carry a dock with the transformer so i assume this is okay.
i have this case! it fits very well and you dont even have to take the prime out of the dock. also, it is a hard case, so it protects much better against falls etc.
on amazon germany it was available immediately

Thanks for the info! just a quick question, since the tablet is very thin and so once you put the prime into the case does it get really fat or huge to hold with one hand?

of course its thicker, its not a neoprene sleeve. but thats why it protects well and you can still easily carry it with one hand! i really like it. didnt expect much for the price and was pleasantly surprised!
i also ordered a 10'' netbook case from case logic to compare, but the prime has too much room in it and its more of a thin neoprene, so its just scratch-protection...
I bought this hard case:
eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace
Internal dimensions now that I have it in my hand are:
Case: 26.8cm x 19.1cm x 3-4cm
Prime: 26.3cm x 18.1cm x 2cm
As you can see, it's a pretty close fit in theory. Have to wait 5 days before I get my Prime to confirm it's a good fit.
Alternatives to consider
Hey guys,
just like everyone else, looking for a proper case for my prime
since eventually (in the near future) I plan on getting the Dock, i'm looking for a case/sleeve
- looked at all the cased and couldn't find one I liked
- Finally found a case, but haven't had a chance to try it yet
it's the HP VX403AA / VX404AA it's a mini neoprene sleeve for the HP Mini netbook
- price is 32$ as low as I could find it. pricey but nice
- Has 2 smaller pockets on one side and a big one on the other side
- Plenty of storage to keep the charging cable/charger/micro USB with the tablet wherever you go.
- I'll let you know how it fits as soon as I try it, you can find it in local BestBuy's so if any1 is interested in trying it out before I get to it, by all means post your results.
Thank you,
Rodi

It looks like there is a pocket on the inside of the cover.
I ordered this iGadgitz case. Hope to get it next week. I will post some pictures when I have it.
I have recently purchased the envelope neoprene case by built. They sell several different versions but I bought the 9-10" net book version and the transformer prime with dock attached fits like they were made for each other. It also has a front pocket for your charge cables and charger.

This is a great case, my prime and dock lives in it when I'm not using it. It fits snug and feels well protected. There is a mesh Pocket inside which I justuse to keep the screen cloth, but you could easily fit a USB cable in.

Ive got one of these coming for mine.
I wanted an EVA case yet not too huge/heavy. The strap/handle seems flexible so it can securely "sling" for a bike/skate trip, but also carry like a briefcase.
I also like the added room (sunglasses, wallet, possibly charger).
I'll give a review once I get it and have some hands on experience.

I've seen the CaseCrown up close and personal. My buddy bought it for his Galaxy Tab 10.1. Nice case, well designed and constructed. For the price I think you'll be happy.
I've got the Targus case and love it. It's got 2 compartments so it'll fit both the tablet and dock separately or together.
Timbuk2 Quickie Carry Bag- real nice!
Picked up one of these (Size Small) from amazon and it is real nice as a small tablet bag for the Prime, with full shoulder strap. A little pricey, but Highly recommended. Great build construction with lifetime warranty to protect the prime, and 2 side pockets for the charger and phone. It's smaller than it looks in the picture- just a little larger than the tablet itself
Insulated very well inside with well constructed bubble membrane foam, to protect the tablet from vibrations.
My Prime has a leather case and it fits great inside this bag !!! A nice compromise between a sleeve and a full size laptop bag, with still a good amount of room for charger and cable! I think the Prime with the Keyboard dock should fit nicely too!

It's my understanding that the I717's NFC antenna is in the battery door. So if you use a N7000 battery cover on your I717, your NFC won't work--not that it'll work anyway with stock AT&T firmware.
@ punchatron
I hope they have the surface combo also. The active may be too thick and bulky on an already large phone for my taste.

Thank You. just reminded me that when i order my items to grab and MHL i owe u like shipping cost or something
For my Note 3 I have:
(1) Spigen Neo Hybrid Case
http://www.spigen.com/galaxy-note-3-case-neo-hybrid.html
(2) Moga Pro Controller
http://www.mogaanywhere.com/controllers/moga-pro-controller/
(3) Anker 15000mAH External Battery
http://www.amazon.co.uk/15000mAh-Portable-Ultra-High-Thunderbolt-Incredible/dp/B00D5T3QK4
I already had a 64gb sandisk memory card so I'm fine for storage. The Neo Hybrid is a really nice looking case, it offers good protection but it does add a fair bit of bulk to the phone. The Moga Pro works on some games but with the universal driver, I have it working with some emulators which is why I purchased it. I am not rooted btw. The Anker battery is for when I go on holiday, I have yet to receive and test it but it should charge my Note 3 fully at least 4 times! :good:

You have a nice setup.I was thinking about getting The Spigen case too,but I don't actually like simple cases like that.and the case which I want to buy has a stand.It's useful for me,because I watch a lot of movies and series on my phone.And I think I will use my PS3 controller,too.

I second the Moga Pro, best thing ive bought so far, get modern combat 3 and shadowgun deadzone and it feels like console. In HID mode I got it to work with pretty much any game/emulator that supports controller.
