On Transformerforums i found a post from a certain Bobjgear where he announces a rugged silicon case for our beloved TF300.
It will be for sale on all Amazons around mid-june.
I think this will be my case.
While the Gumdrop and all those leather cases will make the tablet too bulky and all others like Armor Shield protect nothing but just some scratches.
Good thing is that it will be for sale on all Amazons so P&P will not be too ridiculous. I am refreshing Amazon everyday now.
Link doesn't work bro.
Nevermind, its working. I like those cases, I'm tired of waiting for gumdrop. They should have had the tf300 case in production a long time ago.

case
Using this for about 2 weeks. Great case. Only negative is the case weighs roughly twice as much as tab. Foam probably better like m edge for ipad supershell. Light case.
I want one of these

You can now also buy silicone skin on eBay. It is much cheaper and works great with TF300. Must have for every Asus owner!

That's a nice one too! But not comparable to BobJ's case.
Pro of this one is that it will keep your tab less bulky and lighter then BobJ's case.
Con is that it will not give you that much protection like BobJ's case, which is much more bulkier but then again much more drop proof for idiots like me.
Just got mine in today. I feel so much safer already. This is a very nice case, thanks Bobj!!!

Just to update an older thread. I just got one of these silicone rubber skins off Ebay. It's very nice and will do the job. It's no Gum-Drop or BobJ but it's a lot less bulky too.

I have been using this case for the past month and very happy with it. The tablet fits snugly in it and there is minimal increase in its bulk. Functionally it works well rendering full access to all ports and the stylus. Highly recommended. Can be found at http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Folding-.../ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1323302708&sr=8-11(I got it from Ebay at a fortune though beacause Amazon refuses to ship it to me in Hong Kong)

second the above.
Moko is a great case. well designed, sturdy, very useful as it can hold the tablet up at two different angles. I have the keyboard, and use it on occasion, but my tpt spends most of its time in this case.
is this the real leather version
No at that price.

Between the non-leather one at $19.99 and the leather version at $25.18 I rather just get the leather one.
Mind you these are Amazon Prime prices.

roocase also has a leather case, hmmm i wonder which one should i get.
Lenovo Australia are currently having a half price sale on most accessories, including the folio case, which you can get for $20. got mine today, It is a great looking folio, with no leather over the bevel, which looks great. It just clips into a plastic inner.
Its a great sale, got the keyboard folio for $40, the lot for just over $100.
Not sure of the sale if it is worldwide on other Lenovo stores or how long it is on for.
Ok. I picked up the Black Transleeve for my Prime earlier this week. As you probably anticipated from the marketing info on this accessory, it was going to be something very similar to the iPad SmartCover.
Well, after only three days of usage, I have to say that the Transleeve is a complete waste of money.
The sleeve leaves smudge marks on the glass where the creases for the "origami" of the sleeve are. These smudges are harder to clean off then normal fingerprints.
The entire sleeve itself seems to be too big for the Prime. It seems to overhang the edges by a few millimeters and just does not give the overall unit a clean feel or look.
The edges of the sleeve are already curling up as if the material used as the "structure" within the sleeve is cheap cardboard or plastic.
The sleeve, while it attaches very securely to the device with the prongs, does not attach anywhere else (like how the iPad SmartCover is held magnetically to the screen), so the Transleeve flops all over the place.
These are just a few annoyances I have noticed that make me feel that this OVERPRICED cover is not at all worth purchasing as an add-on. Something this cheap should have just come with the device.
Thanks for the heads up. I was gonna purchase one of these tomorrow.
I actually really like my transleeve. If all you want to protect is the screen, it's very good. I'm aware I'm in the minority.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk
Well I love mine too. I have ZERO issues with it and it does what it suppose to do "Protect the Screen and serve as a stand"
I have been using mine none stop since December.
Yes, It doesn't have the magic magnet charm as the iPad2 one has but it's the best solution you can find for now.
Also $40 is overpriced but I'm happy with it.
POS.... $40 POS at that.
Sent it back first day I got it, 3 weeks before I even got my Prime.
- Cheaply made.... very cheaply made.
- does not stick to screen.
- scratches the back of Prime, by slot holes.

I love mine. Bought it used a week ago from Amazon and just used it at a conference in Boston,MA. It was PERFECT! Went well with my neoprene case. I am thinking of either a pelican case or G-form next, but should fit with either one.
I got a reply back today from otterbox. I asked if they planned on making a case for the note. They said they're working on the otterbox commuter case for the note as we speak and should be available soon. Thought I would post just in case anyone was interested.
G~Note "nuff said"
I had an Otterbox case for my Streak, and loved it, but I have to say that I am shocked at the quality of this generic case I got on ebay for like $8! Head over to the accessories forum and you'll see some pretty happy campers who spent less than $10 for a case...
Sent from my SGH-I717R using Tapatalk
I have used Otterbox cases in the past but the last time i checked they were listing the case for the G Note at 56$ Um they can kiss my business g buy. I got a very good Reiko case from a seller on ebay for 8.88$ delivered The Reiko case is everybit as good as a defender from over priced otter! I tend to be from the school "ya get what ya pay for" but the Reiko case even has a kickstand, flap covers that cover charging an earphone ports.
I had bought one of those off brand cases for my ns4g on amazon. It came with a stylus and like 3 screen protectors for 10$! They're are some good deals out there so I agree. I seen that reiko with the kickstand think I seen a red/black one. I might have to get it. I bought the flipbook (hated it before I took a chance) I was surprised tho. Note looks sexy just doesn't offer much protection in case of a drop
G~Note "nuff said"
Otter says on their site that they sell their own products higher on their site then what their resellers sell for b/c they would rather you buy through them but won't refuse money. So the price quoted is always higher then what is available once they start shipping. I bought a commuter for my Vibrant and loved it. I did break it eventually and that happened by removing it so many times. I just wish I could get the Defender for this thing. I may have to look at some of the knock offs out there for such a dramatically lower priced case. I still just want a nice (brown) leather belt clip holster since leaving the tie off is considered a casual day at work for me.
Otter box return policy
Even tho theirs prices are little higher than the norm, the have excellent warranty policy and will pretty much ship you a complete new case if need be, providing you date and name the pictures. I've received a couple through this process (All defenders cases), ex complete case (SGN), replaced several holsters (Iphone, Backberry, Nexus S)

They included an amazing screen protector with my iPhone 4 commuter case also (better IMO than this SGP one that I'm using).
I will probably pick one up, especially if it includes their protector...

I've had an Otterbox on every device I've had so far (iPad & iPhone). They really make some great cases (a bit costly but worth every cent). I can't wait until I can get one for the Note.
I love otterbox too, however, I needed something right away. I'm a bit to clumsy to gamble on a $750 device. I ordered an "active" case from Seidio, they are similar to otterbox except no screen protector (I use zagg anyway). One thing I like about Sedio products over otter is the options. It's a three layer case with the first layer having the capability to be a simple standard case. Check them out if you don't feel like waiting.

Please advise on the product you ordered. My main concern is the holster not being sturdy enough like the Otterbox.

I've used their case with holster for my charge, the belt clip has held up very well. I was mistaken on my first post. I thought this was the equivalent of the defender series. After looking at it again, I see that it is more like the commuter series from otter box but with a holster. Still a great case/holster combo in my opinion. I can't post a link yet, but check out the online store at seidio.com.

The dude at the ATT store told me Otterboxes were "bulky pieces of crap".
Then he proceeded to try to sell me a Speck case for FIFTY BUCKS.
I had to pass I too am looking forward to a commuter case.
Moved to Accessories​
As this is a post about accessories it should be in that section​
I have received confirmation from my otterbox rep that cases are in the works
I've received my case from Seidio, and I like that it doesn't make it that much thicker. On a phone this size, any bulkiness may be a bit to much. I'm also glad to hear that otter is working on one as well. I have a gift card for them and would like to compare cases.
Either way, the active case from Seidio is what I expected. I also cut my own custom screen protector from a HD Zagg designed for the kindle fire. I think the stylus works better with the HD version then their standard protector.

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:

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!

Have One, Love It
I've had the roocase for 6 months now, and I have to tell you I love it. If you're primary concern is protection, is is superb. The inner sleeve (that the tablet actually fits into) makes it super easy to hold on to. Put it in the main case, prop it up for easy hands free reading or watching a movie.
Just thought I'd share my opinion. These cases used to be really expensive. I'm at work, and they have Amazon blocked so I can't see if it's exactly the same case, but mine is leather. Has zippered outer case, and sleeve that fits inside.
