I bought one of these for my wife's iPad. I contacted them about possible plans for the Transformer and they don't plan to make one. Has anyone seen something similar to this for the transformer? This is the best screen protector that I've seen anywhere.

Boy, that sure would be nice! One good thing about the ipad is MEGA accessories. The Transformer, we have to be patient.
That is truly an amazing screen protector. You guys gotta see it in action. YouTube iVisor. They literally just drop it on the tablet and it adheres with not one bubble. Incredible! We need this for the TF.
Are there any cases for the Prime in the UK yet? Amazon show a couple for pre-ordering, but none for sale now, and I can't find anyone else selling them. I am looking for one that can be used as a stand.

Getting this one delivered to France :

Just ordered it but I think the guy does free international shipping, and it's pretty cheap.
Since there's only pretty crappy cases for now I think it's a good deal, it gives you the choice to use the case or/and the sleeve, plus it has a pen and a screen protector. I'll post pictures when I get it (probably by the end of the week)

I haven't seen any decent cases for the Prime in the UK yet.
About the only decent thing I have seen is a Skinomi skin look here http://www.skinomi.com/sk9730-asus-transformer-prime-carbon-fiber-skin-protector.html however its from America.
There are some very good neoprene sleeves for 10.1" netbooks and Tablet Attaché cases from Case Logic that would fit the Prime and offer good protection - thats what I have been looking at anyway unless of course there is something better that can accommodate the Prime with keyboard attached.
Will the TF1 fit the prime? Just the front screen protector. I really need to get this protected asap. Thanks guys.
The TF1 screen protectors might fit the TF Prime, but it won't fit very well as they are slightly different sizes. However there are many screen protectors made specifically for the TF Prime, I would suggest using one of those.
You can find several on Amazon.com if you take a second to do a search.
Thanks man for the help. I'm looking to buy one today in a store/local somewhere just to protect the screen. Do you know if any bestbuy/target/ghost armor may have it? If not I'll have to order online but I'd prefer to purchase local.
I haven't seen any TF Prime-specific accessories in brick & mortar stores, and very few accessories for the original Transformer.
No problem. Ill just order online then. Thanks guys!
Hi everyone,
I just bought my Transformer Prime last week, and I am faced with a major dilemma. I'm scared to death that I'm going to drop it, so I've been using the case I bought for my granddaughter's original Transformer. It doesn't quite fit, but it works.
I'm trying to decide how to protect my new tablet. I like the look of leather and a well-padded case would provide good protection, and the ones with stands are very utilitarian. However, it would be a shame to cover up such a beautiful device! (After all, its good looks are one of its strong selling points.)
Has someone found a good solution for protecting their tablet while still being able to show it off?
(I apologize if this question has already been answered; if so, please just point me to a link. Sometimes it's really hard to find the right search terms.)
Thanks!
I have ordered the case shown in link below. In my case I have the Dock also and this seems to me the Best available. Though this might not be what you need thought I would at least post it for you.

Since we have an Accessories Forum for the Transformer Prime that discusses accessories like cases, created for or compatible with the Transformer Prime, you might look there for answers first.
This thread in the Accessories forum would be a good place to start:
Ultimate Transformer PRIME TF201 Accessory Guide
Check out this one
This is the one I will be sporting once it is available... April 16...

I've got a simple 10" laptop/tablet neoprene sleeve. The prime fits nicely inside it with or without the dock attached. Apart from that i dont have any protection on it right now and its been working well for me. Having it for 2 months now and i dont have any scratches. And i have it with me most of the times in my backpack or guitarcase.

Forgive me if someone already posted, but I bought a leather case from Best Buy made by a well known name..Targus.
It does offer great protection and has the stand built in, a nice velvet/cashmir type fabric inside. I don't have the link but it's the only one that the Best Buy by me had so I grabbed it. It was $40.00
This ISN'T my Transformer Prime
Yeah there are a lot to choose from on Amazon.com. This is the one I went with, I'm happy overall:

Thanks!
Thank you, RonH54. That looks like a very nice case. The problem is that although the front of the keyboard is visible, the back of the keyboard and pretty much everything on the tablet itself is pretty much covered--so no one can see how nice it looks. (My dilemma....)
I'm also a little concerned about the very negative review I saw there!
joedeveloper, the Moko also looks very nice, but also has the same issues. And Pixelation, I haven't seen the Targus case, but I assume it covers the tablet as well. Am I right? And finally, Gage_Hero...!!!! What can I say? That looks like a pretty extreme solution. I don't plan to treat my tablet in a way that I would need anything like that.
almightywhacko, thank you for the link. I had already seen it, and looked at most of the cases there, but got discouraged because they all looked pretty much the same and all covered the tablet so you couldn't see it. I tried to post my question in the Accessories Forum first, but was told that I was breaking forum rules by posting a question there and that I needed to post in the Q&A forum--so here I am.
I've never seriously considered a sleeve, but clouds5, thanks for the suggestion. There are several listed in the Accessories Forum thread, so I intend to look at them. That might be the best compromise, because the tablet would be protected when it most needed it, but would be on display when I was actually using it.
The only other option that has occurred to me is a clear case. Something like the Invisible Shield wouldn't provide enough impact protection (although I would need something like that for the screen to prevent scratches)--but there might be a clear case out there that is more protective. Has anyone seen something like that?
Again, thanks to everyone for your contributions. You have given me some new ideas. (Sorry to be so slow--I've tried several times to post over the past couple of days, but kept being told that "the token had expired", whatever that means!)
I have 6 cases. I am not kidding. 6.
Like you, I have a tf101 sleeve that works for basic thin protection (given to me by a friend that didn't like it for their og). I have a neoprene case (another give-me). I have a non-tf202 specific hard-ish case made by CaseLogic that I like a lot because it will hold the tablet+dock and it is very durable. I have the MiniSuit linked to above for the tablet+dock and it sucks. Badly. They are a good company and they have done right by me, refunded my money, etc, but the design is horrible with a very basic flaw - the leather is way too thick where the dock meets tablet and that is just not going to be good over time. I have "modified" it with a pair of scissors so that it wont break my tablet+dock - it does make a nice case for carrying and using them both. I also have the MiniSuit 360 case. I really like that one because the tablet is detachable from the case.
IMO = The best one is the one joedeveloper linked to. Slim, good protection and really shows off the Prime. It is the only one that does not cover the bezel. It is very "configurable" and you can use the dock WITH it. I can be folded half way back and then half of the beautiful back is "shown".
I have the full body skinomi skin for my tablet and dock so I have that as added protection so I son't mind using my dock with that case because I know my dock wont get scratched. But i wont use that if I need to carry or travel with the dock, I'd use one of the other ones.
So...slugbug2010,
Let me make sure I understand you. You like the MoKo case "best" because it doesn't cover the bezel, but it doesn't give enough protection to travel with it? So you would recommend buying a second case for traveling with it (in addition to a full-body skin)?
I can't tell from looking at it and reading about it on Amazon if it covers the keyboard, or just the tablet itself. If it covers both, can the two pieces be separated? If it doesn't cover the keyboard, I'd need to have a separate sleeve or something to protect it.
Can you and joedeveloper elaborate a little more, please?
Thanks!
You can get some balls for your Eee pad if you are afraid of dropping it.

Reading your post again, it looks like you want a clear TPU case like this one made for the iPad http://www.amazon.com/CrazyOnDigital-Accessories-Cover-Retail-Package/dp/B004RRU7NM
However sadly no company has yet stepped up to the task of making such a case. Theoretically a TPU case would provide decent drop protection and not alter the look of the tablet much. And since it is so thin it would work well with a sleeve for added padding when not in use.
Yes, the TPU case looks like it might be along the lines of what i want--but it appears that I'm out of luck.
texstar, the iBalls are a really interesting concept (despite the name). I'm thinking they might be the perfect thing for my granddaughter's Transformer, providing some protection and leaving the tablet easier to use than the traditional case I already have for her.
As far as using them with my Prime--they certainly would expose the tablet itself, but I'm not sure I like the "quirky" look mentioned by some of the reviewers. It's also not clear whether or not they might cover up some of the ports and controls.
If your post was a serious one, do you own them? Has anyone tried them on your tablets?
Joedeveloper and Slugbug2010, are you still there? I really like the Moko case, but it's tablet only. The Minisuit looks nice, too, but seems to be thicker than what I'm looking for. I think I need a combination of the two....
Those of you who are using the Moko and have a dock, do you have a separate case for it, use a sleeve, or just leave it unprotected?
Thanks again for all your help.

I recently purchased a Asus EEE Pad and a waiting for it to be delivered.
I want to try and purchase accessories for it before it comes so I can use it sooner.
The Asus eee pad will be used at home but also when travelling (within the UK) when I go to visit family. I will probably need a screen protector and a case for it, but I'm not sure how many screen protectors I should order at first and how long they will last.
I have also ordered the tablet for a member of my family who will use it mostly at home. Should I get a case and screen protector for this as well?
What other accessories will I need or are useful?
I have checked eBay for screen protectors but there aren't any reviews to go with them and the ones on Amazon UK are expensive. Please provide links of what you've found best for your tablet.
Zagg's Invisishield or Invisible Shield is hands-down the best screen protector made, in my opinion. The bad is that it's an absolute bear to install.
In the US, most BestBuy locations still have them in stock for the TF101, *and* they'll install it for free (HIGHLY recommended!) . Check with your UK equivalent.

I use mine without a screen protector. The screen seems solid enough that I'm not nervous that anything will happen to it (at least nothing a screen protector will save).
I have this case: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B006X0ZYQ6 and an invisible shield which I am happy with.
although if i was looking for a new screen protector I would see if I could find a finger print resistant one as everything I own gets covered in greace marks and it winds me up abit.
edit: here are some pictures of the case with and without the dock, the main reason I chose the case was because it would hold the tablet with and without the dock. the quality of the pics aren't that great
Without Dock:

Thank you for the pics.
I wonder if anyone here has one sub-£20. The case looks great but I'm trying to find something a little cheaper as I need to buy 2.
