Hey guys,
If anybody is looking for cases, I'm using this one.
http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Folding-...1SCQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1337432342&sr=8-2
I like it a lot. It's very sturdy, strong build and the price is not bad at all. i would recommend it. Reviews are pretty good on it as well.. I'm not a big fan of folding cases but this one changed my mind. It's not those flimsy cheap ones they sell on ebay for $5. I had one of those for my tab 7.0 plus and it was garbage.
Ordered this same case over the weekend and am awaiting delivery. I do have the keyboard dock but see this as an excellent alternative for some situations. It's called a Transformer for a reason after all.

I concur, its a good case and since I couldn't find it in the Netherlands, I also ordered it through Amazon.
+ Very affordable
+ Sturdy
+ Proper screen protection
+ Fast delivery
+ Simple, yet stylish finish (leather-look, black)
But....
- I had to "adjust" the hole for the headphone. Originally it was placed 7 mm too low (when holding the tablet upright). But with a sharp knife, that is easily done.
- The cover is (when folded) hold in place by a small flap. I find that the friction is too low to properly keep the cover in place. So I improved it with some velcro. Now the cover stays were it is no matter how mucht I move the case around. Just make sure you place the soft side of the velcro on the cover (doesn't scratch the screen)
- It adds about half of the tablet in weight, which is no problem when its standing/laying on a surface of course. But just to let you know
-The 40 pin connector is at all times unprotected
- I am also thinkin of clearing some of the material around the on/off switch. I find it a bit too hard to reach (I am a lazy SoB, mind you )
- I will add a small loop for a stylus (not present)
I admit I am still waiting for the smart cover version like the one for the TF201. But until that moment, this one is it.
Cheers
I purchased this case and received it today. I really like it and it was a great deal. It's probably tthe best one for the money right now. Very well-made and fits perfectly. I especially like now the screen cover adjusts depending on the way you want to use the wedge stand and the magnets in said cover to keep it closed.
All-in-all, I highly recommend it to anybody who is looking for a case and is not going to be using the keyboard dock.

I am also in the Netherlands and am trying to order it from Amazon, yet the buyer says they do not ship to the Netherlands?
I am using this link: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007P657RI/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=A2W9JVEMMG88KL
I was wondering if you could post the link you used?

How do you like it?
***EDIT
I went ahead and purchased it anyway! Will be here on Monday!
I think it's great !!
i have it sitting on my desk at home, now i'm just waiting on the TF300 couple of questions:
1. assume the case closed leaves the inside of the case touching the screen. any damage possible here? it looks like pretty soft suede or microfiber, but still wondering.
2. what's the deal with carving out the headphone jack? has anyone else had to do this?
3. do you have pictures of the velcro thing? anyone else had problems closing it?

If you are talking about the Moko one?
1. No, No damage possible. I had it for a month or so and havent seen damage on screen. I wonder this to, but it doesnt touch the screen. Atleat for me it doesn't.
2. I didn't have to. I used the headphones with no problem. No carving..
3. I can send a picture of the velcro but it's pretty strong. The tablet doesn't move down or tries to walk away from the case.
Mine is supposed to arrive tomorrow (Friday). Can't believe the overwhelming positive feedback from so many other users who have this case.
I've ordered mine by UK

It's a delivery estimate, but generally the dispatches from UK are very quick.
I have the moko case for the tablet and its great. The reason the screen doesn't get scratched is because of 2 magnets that are sitting on each corner on the far end of the case and when the case is closed there is still about a centimeter or 2 of clearance. Great case imo

Hi,
is it easy to take out? I use the dock very often and I'm just looking for a case for surfing the internet or watching films, so I don't have to hold the tablet all the time. But cases like the slim one make it very hard / annoying to take the tablet out.
Does the magnets affect the tablet?
One of the reviews on Amazon for this case said that the magnets have some affect on the GPS. I am generally reluctant to bring electronics close to magnets. Does anyone see any issues with the magnets and GPS?

I need some help looking for a case. I would like something folio style, but all of the pictures of the M1, Px cases look like they stand very upright. I am looking for a case that will lean back to allow it to sit and use as a keyboard stand. Anyone have any ideas for me?
Thanks!

CLIP
I got a CLIP from it2steve's web store and it works as exactly as you are wanting it to. It comes with 3 grooves on one side so you can have the gTab in 3 viewing angles but if you let it all the way down as shown in the attached photo it's perfect for typing.
As a new GTablet owner I was looking for a good case as well. The Clip looks sweet but it seems to be sold out from it2steve's store.
Anyone know where I can score this sweet looking case?

Yeah, I heard that too about the magnets on the M1.
I am very happy with my CLIP case. In my opinion it is the only Apple quality accessory we have for the gTab at the moment. It's well worth the extra cash and I can't recommend it any better.
Thanks SJ! Exactly what I'm looking for. Appreciate the pic.

I tried moving a small (1/4" diameter x 1/8" thick disk) rare earth magnet near the screen of my GTab, and didn't see any effects. Has anyone else tried any experiments? How large is the magnet in the case?
I saw a clip style case at staples that's made for the xoom- any chance it would fit our g-tabs?

No. I looked into this a few weeks ago (don't remember where I posted that) and the Xoom and gTabs are different sizes. If I remember correctly the gTab was bigger/longer than the Xoom.

As an M1 owner who's used it for a couple of weeks now, I can tell you that the magnet issue, like most things on the Internet, is blown way out of proportion. I use the tablet daily at work, have used it shopping for replacement flooring/furniture for our flooded gameroom, and sitting on the reclining sofa playing Angry Birds. I've never had a problem with the magnets reducing screen responsiveness or "freaking out". My only complaint is that over time, the GTab tends to settle further down in the case, half-hiding the camera and all but covering the ambient light sensor. If you don't plan on propping it up on a desk as often as I do, it makes a wonderful case.
M1 Case and G Tab Screen
I got an M1 case on Monday so I've had it for 3 days now. The fit, feel and look of the case are all excellent so far on mine, however, the it does mess with the screen. The longer it stays in the case the worse it gets. I have done tests in and out of the case, putting to sleep or not, rebooting or not and now have no doubt it is the case but I am not sure if its actually the magnets or not. It could just be the case itself touching the edges of the screen all day. In any case, (some pun intended) the longer it stays in the case, the harder you have to press the outside portions of the screen to get it to react. Mine eventually gets to the point where you cannot press hard enough to get the keys on the keyboard to function. When this happens I put it to sleep, pull it out of the case, wake it up and it works like new again. I will probably be investing in a black clip myself in the near future. This could just be a problem with my particular Gtab and it may not effect others at all but that is my short bit of experience with the M1 Case.
There's a few black clip cases in stock at it2steve's web store now.

For anyone who doesn't want to spend $50-$60 on a case for a $300 item, WI Global Technology has cheap alternatives. One with clips, one with elastic.
I got the one with clips. For $16 - It's OK.
All ports are accessible.
It's vinyl - NOT leather.
The covers extend about 1/16th" beyond the GTab - just enough protection (for me, anyay)
As you can see. the kickstand angle is about 75 degrees - it would probably be better if it were more like 60.
For $16 delivered, you get what you pay for (maybe a bit more... ymmv).

Hmmm been using the M1 for a few weeks now. Never noticed this magnet issue. I know magnets can mess with hard drives but never heard of it messing with an LCD. Doesn't the ipad 2 smart cover have like 70 magnets?
EDIT: Looked it up, 31 magnets.
I"m not sure what to make of this case for the transformer. Does not have that many picture to show how well it fits and covers the transformer without the dock or with the dock. Does anybody have this product?

wow that doesnt look like the pictures from the amazon page.
how is the quality? imho doesnt look to great!
What poor designing...they really need to make one of these but with something like hard silicon/TPU/Plastic, similar to the InCase products for Apple Macbooks. Those just snap on in two pieces to the exterier of the laptop and cover it nicely when its closed. This just looks like a bombardment of faux leather all over the place.

Received mine today. I can't send it back fast enough. It's fairly low quaility and does not fit well. The description says it is leather but I can't find any. Seems to be made of vinyl and fake suade. It was only $23 so I was not expecting much but the fit and quaility was poorer than I expected.
This looks like it could have promise for a similar pricepoint.

It's a shame that the Poetic case turned out to be such a disappointment.
I'm surprised, because I just got this Poetic case on eBay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/280719327360?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
and it's great. It arrived in about 4 days from California.
It's a sturdy case that holds the Transformer using corner/side clips only,
which leaves all the ports easily accessible. It appears to be made of leather, or
at least a good quality plastic simulation. The case closes with a curved metal clip
which seems well-padded and doesn't damage the tablet.
The case has three positions. I use the highest for watching movies and the lowest for anything
that requires lots of typing. The front of the case folds completely flat behind the back,
and you can even dock the tablet, although the case isn't intended to hold the dock.
The best part: Even though the pictures don't show it, the flap connecting
the front and back has an opening for the dock/charging connector.
I can charge the tablet without removing (or even opening) the case!!!
I e-mailed the vendor and they assured me that the dock/charging connector
opening is standard and offered a refund if anyone gets one without it.
I've tried a bunch of cases - separate sleeves for the tablet, a "dual" sleeve with separate
pockets for the tablet and dock, etc., but this is the one I'm staying with.
If anyone is interested, I got the Diamond design one
Pics: http://imgur.com/a/ZXR7c
I just got mine! I actually paid 26something USD to ship it to The Netherlands (why are these rates so ridiculously high!?)...
In the end, it works fine for me. It fits my tablet, I don't have to take it off to attach the keyboard dock and it also closes with tablet + dock inside. Details are fine, fit is reasonably good (it seems to be a bit off at the front facing cam).
$24 makes a good buy.. at 50 (including shipping), I feel a bit dissapointed.
Then again;
to protect my phone, I bought www.pielframa.com last year they don't sell Asus eee cases (yet??). Cost me quite a bit. Great finishing, real craftsmenship! When I dropped the phone, the leather ripped and bit by bit fell of the casing. Now, there's a leather-less patch (about 1 cm) doesn't really bother me, but it made me wonder how much a phone case should actually cost.. knowing you're not that carefull and might drop it anyway

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

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.

Yes it does have holes for the dock. No removal of the entire cover needed. The mini-suit is the perfect fit that also support the dock IMO.

Thanks! Its alot cheaper so I'll give a shot! I just want a case that protects both the tablet and the keyboard dock.
what about the position of the tablet when in "writing mode"?
The image shows a very steep angle between the keyboard and the screen when using the keyboard.
Will the hinge between dock and tablet hold the screen and the angle you desire?
What if the keyboard is not used the angle cannot be fixed as it is with some other cases. (though they do not have the option for the keyboard)
Not sure if the Poetic case is a rip off of this one or the other way around but I got the Poetic case that looks eaxctly like this one and I love it. I actually dropped my Prime this morning running to the buss stop and was worried to open the case to witness the scratches and/or damage and the case did an excellent job! No damage! I'd highly recommend although I advise against dropping!
I have the MiniSuit case. When it first arrived I was a bit disappointed.
One of the let downs was the fact that the case around the tablet did not have any magnets so the fold kinda flapped around and did not stay shut if the tablet was undocked.
I solved that by putting a couple of adhesive Velcro strips on the top and bottom.
After that!.... It never leaves this case.
http://i.imgur.com/g6Tad.jpg
I have it. I would have like it if the tablet portion of the case would work as a stand when detached from the base. Even with that being said it is a nice case for the money.

The one I posted the link to that I purchased does have the holes where the Prime would connect to the dock.

Yes it does have holes for the dock. No removal of the entire cover needed. The mini-suit is the perfect fit that also support the dock IMO.

Hi, have any of you actually used this case with the dock attached? I have this case and whilst is does have holes where the dock connector would go, I can't connect the dock at all - there is just too much leather around the holes/case etc.
(It's a great case for the tablet alone, I just can't make it work with the dock)
I'm looking for a slim case that works both with and without the dock attached. Perhaps the best solution is the other Mini Suit "Rotating" case mentioned in the first post?
Any experience / views would be welcome.

I have the MiniSuit case. When it first arrived I was a bit disappointed.
One of the let downs was the fact that the case around the tablet did not have any magnets so the fold kinda flapped around and did not stay shut if the tablet was undocked.
I solved that by putting a couple of adhesive Velcro strips on the top and bottom.
After that!.... It never leaves this case.

Brilliant idea! I was about to buy that same case, then i wondered will there be anything to hold the front case.
Btw, did the case smells? I mean, that strong leather smell?
I bought this case but it smells even after a month. I did everything, even wrap in newspapers and placed under the sun.

I have this Case and I keep it Docked all the Time. The First time I placed in the Dock it was a Tad tight but now it pops in and out easily. The only Bad part is I bought this Case in Feb. and paid $39. for it......
I' looking for a case which helps the tablet stand up but without a magnetic button to close it.
I feel eventually the magnet will move as it has done with my phone case which is really nice but doesn't snap close anymore. It probably won't happen so soon with the tablet but I prefer a non-magnetic closed case. Found one on Amazon UK but it's £20 and looking for something cheaper.
Asus has a nice (for a while) slim casethat uses velcro on back under a flap to hold it but its 40 dollars and after about 3 months it gets loose but holds in the tab... not bad other than that (ive been using it since january)

I believe the RooCase Ultra Slim does not have a magnet... maybe someone who owns one can verify that?
Thanks for the replies.
I have looked at many threads on here but they don't have an update of what the case is like months after so the Asus one could be an option. I'd prefer under £20 though but I am open to suggestions.
Oh please, don't get the Asus one. It is overpriced and quality is bad. Only suckers buy it.
Get something like this http://www.amazon.com/BLUREX-Leathe...Y8VA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1334325561&sr=8-1
It is slim and provides adequate protection.
I have this one http://www.amazon.com/Acase-Transformer-Leather-10-1-Inch-Android/dp/B005D1Q6J0/ref=pd_cp_pc_3
Had it for about 2-3 months now and no problems at all. I actually wanted to buy the Blurex case but that wasn't in stock back then.
I recently purchased this Asus Transformer Rotating case with built in multi angle stand from amazon http://www.amazon.com/Asus-Transfor...ZK/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1334338068&sr=8-11 Case works great and is very stylish.
Thank you for your posts. Can't seem to locate those on Amazon UK.

seems cheap and has mainly good reviews and is pretty cheap...i dont own it but im looking for a case and screen protector for my just purchased tf101
SilverViking,
You can't find any of those amazon listings? That's weird. Try this link: http://www.amazon.com/Asus-Transfor...1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1334949614&sr=1-1
OH, and ctr01, the link above is for a case, screen protector, and free sylus pen. I bought one, and it's really nice. The stylus is pretty cheap, but I don't use it much.

good to know but I don't trust spending 30+ for an item that only has 2 reviews...i don't need a stylus and i'm sure i can find a combo deal or separate deal on screen protectors. thanks though.
My link is for a $12 case that has 120 reviews and almost all are 3+ star reviews and it has combo deals for stylus and/or screen protectors too.
My Roocase does use a magnetic closure.
Here's a dirty cheap ($5) case. Even has an offer for a free stylus:
http://www.amazon.com/YooMee-Transf...?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1338196764&sr=1-17
Also has a $7.50 version similar to the earlier case but without the free stylus:

Saw this over in the Kindle forum where they mentioned a case with the same style as my first here but when I saw the company also offered Transformer cases thought I'd post here.

I had one of the cases from Amazon with the hard plastic lock. I didn't like that there was no way to access the charge port while it was closed and the speakers were on the bottom while playing music/video using the stand in landscape. I put my transformer in upside down and the lock bent the charge port.
I tried a few other cases, but the one I've liked the most so far has been from Newegg market: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA0U008T4548
While in portrait view it doesn't stand terribly well as the grooves are a tad shallow. The closure for it is an elastic band, but I hardly use it.
