There is a Sikai case for the transformer that looks alot like the Asus branded case which is very thin (like original apple ipad case.) However this one folds in a few different ways that appear alot more like the new smart cover for the ipad2.
It is selling for 24$ with free shipping on ebay. Just ordered one can't wait to get it
any links or pictures?

Funny , coz there is original asus case with asus logo on the last photo ))
I'm not getting how the upright angle works. The folded portion looks like it sits so low; seems like it would tip back over pretty easy.

Hi, I have my sikai case since monday.
I only can speak good things about this, I recomend it.
Perfect fitting, nice material, only the hole for the camera isn't perfectly centered but it dosen't afect to the optics.
and of course with the case fitted it won't be able to dock at the keyboard.
Looks pretty nice actually. Definatley interested to see your review on this one, I might snag one if its decent quality.

How does the lid stay closed? Magnets? The folding of the lid to make a stand, is it stable?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
yes, it closes with two magnets.
and it's stable in the two positions shown in the pictures.

Can you post some pictures or a review of this case please?
Tnx
I just got it today. It got a little bent in the process of getting to my home in the mail.
I'd say a nice decent case. Due to the bending, it seems a bit odd to look. But fit is perfect and snug. All functions and keys are accessible. Camera holes are visible with no blocking.
Charging Port
Are you able to charge the TF while using the Sikai as a stand?
So I purchased this case from eBay, for $8.88 Shipped out of NY. Took 3 days to get to my house. I am VERY pleased with the build and design of the case. (Pics Below); The phone is housed in a plastic shell that snaps together firmly around the phone then a rubber shield encases that.

It really amazes me at time how wide the price of this case is from different vendors. I have seen it from the 9.00 I paid all the way up to $50
Just ordered one of these. Really can't lose for $9.
Anyone have the white one?

I can't help but think that the kickstand is on the wrong side. Why would someone want to prop their phone up in portrait?

It actually works for both ways. Here is a review of the white case.

Thanks to tjagolf33 for the review.
Looks like a nice case and the kickstand will be handy. Just ordered one. Thanks for the heads up on this.
Just got mine. And I must say, this case is very impressive. I was also shocked by the price. Thanks op

as big as it is theres several situations where I would have it in portrait
but can anybody find holster to fit this case?
I am looking at one of these on Amazon and the kick stand appears to work only in the Portrait position. Will the kick stand move for it to work on the landscape position.

I have one on order but would be coming from the Speck Candyshell I picked up when I got the Note. I'm a little concerned about the size of the Reiko after being relatively comfortable with the Speck. But I have two small boys to guard against as well as my own occasional clumsiness.

I second it (had for for SGSII as well), works both ways fine
Can someone who has this case post a pic of the case and the phone separate on a side view? I'd like to see how thick it makes the phone.
I'm considering buying this one, because I'm looking for a slim case (tablet only) with some viewing angle stands, and this one looks really nice.
Do anyone of you have it? Would you recommend it? Does the tablet get damaged from the sides?
thanks!
I would recommend this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007P657RI/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01 over the VersaSleeve, I have both and the VersaSleeve is more of a carrying case (for tablet+dock).
i want the new one they made for the T201. Does anyone know if it will fit ours?

Somewhat fits, but don't think it fits properly - read somewhere that the cover doesn't quite properly clip on securely.
Wouldn't go there myself though.
Mine arrived from samsclub.com. Looks like a quality piece and I like the shiny brown material the sleeve is made with.

Any chance you could post a few on device pics and some close ups please? The versasleeve is on my very short list as I want more of a carrying case that a cover.
I got mine today, and I must say, it's super awesome!!
If you don't want a case that sits stuck on your table, and want more of a carrying bag that double acts as a dual-view stand for your tablet, this is perfect!
Just got one today from Buy.com. I'm using it for a tablet + keyboard carrying case which seems to be its best use. Looks nice...

Yes...
I use the VersaSleeve for a couple of months now, and I think it's great. As said earlier, it really is a 'carrying bag' which also doubles as a stand for the tablet. But if you want to use the tablet, you need to take it out of the 'bag', which is a big advantage for me because I don't want to hold a tablet and extra case, which makes it only heavier and thicker.

How does Versa Sleeve do with the docking? I think you can carry both the tab and the keyboard, but is it possible to USE the "netbook" version without taking it out of the sleeve? Any picture to show it mounted?
How's the accessory pocket?

I am very happy with the MoKo Flip Stand Cover Case
Here is the one i am using and i just cannot get over how much i freaking love it.. I am beyond impressed. Its 12 bucks.. took about 2~3 weeks to get here. But well worth the wait. My step mom got a case for her Kindle, has the option of putting it up in a prop mode. Like for watching movies. But she paid freaking 30 bucks for it. The quality of my case is (in my mind) better than hers, it has the function to rotate the device to prop it up in landscape or portrait. I cannot explain in words how amazed i am. Prolly the best quality product i have ever gotten from China.

How's the buttons, port and slim case? Does it fits properly?
How's the build quality? Does it leave any mark on the screen when close? I have this case on my kindle and it kinda leave stripe mark due to the fabric from the case but it can be easily removed by wiping and doesn't leave any scratch. I also want this one but items from this area usually takes 2 weeks minimum.
Another thing it looks like it provides 2 viewing angle, on my kindle its only stable when landscape and it falls back when portrait mode especially for lower angle viewing.
would appreciate if you post pic showing the thickness and how it stand for both landscape and portrait in both viewing angle.
I think I will be getting this one especially available in prime
I have the versa sleeve. Got it on samsclub.com for like 12$ thanks to someone here on xda posting the sale!
I like it a lot for my needs. I had a thick poetic case, but it was too bulky. I prefer to use the tablet naked and then have the sleeve to use as a stand/carrying case. It is thick, durable and I don't worry about it when I throw the tablet in my messenger bag. The stylus loop on it is a plus.
I've owned a slew of Samsung tablets over the years and Samsung has uniformly released overpriced, horribly built cases for their tablets.
The Tab Pro 8.4 case on the other hand is actually a premium quality case. It compares well to my Apple original Mini Retina case except it is much slimmer/lighter (a good thing). An actual leather finish, and a precise fit.
Not cheap but oh so awesome :good:
i like it too and came free with my 10.1 purchase at BB
Just so expensive!!

What is the model number for this case? Where did you purchase it from?
Sent from my SM-T325 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I bought it, and I'm returning it back! The case doesn't protect the tablet as it should: the right side of the tablet stays very exposed (looks like it doesn't cover the whole device), and it's not magnetic to keep it closed - iPad cases are magnetic as well the Poetic case I bought for my Nexus 7 2013 edition. By the way, that Poetic case is very well made, and provides a very good protection to the device. I'm returning the Samsung book case and I'll buy a Poetic for my 8.4.
I'd read some Amazon reviews on the Poetic case. There are claims that the magnets impact the screen negatively. I had an Asuxtek case very similar to the Poetic and found it very bulky.
Also the Apply original case for the Mini does have a slight magnetic grip to keep it closed but is minimal at best.
I read it too today, and for sure it is a real concern. However, it seems to only affect the Note 8, but of course i'm not sure. What I can say is: I have it on my Nexus 7 2013 since brand new and no issues at all. My wife also owns a Nexus 7 2013 and no issues either. But the thing is: if the case starts to cause any issues like those described on Amazon reviews, does it really damage the tablet, or only while using the case?
Just got mine (Samsung case) today from B&H photo...got it barely used for 30 shipped. I feel it's well worth that price. Nearly no added bulk and just enough protection...solid case.
How does it go when using the cover as a kickstand in landscape? It looks similar to the note 8 case which I could not get to stand up correctly, the 2 fold in the case would never stay put and the tablet would fall flat. I want the Samsung case cause of its build quality but only of it does the job it is advertised to do.

I understand this. But when I try to use the magnet and cover to "fold" into a stand, the magnet doesn't seem to be very strong. It doesn't take much effort to have it all fold flat and crash to the table/desktop.

I'll have to post up here in a couple days with pics. I ordered a white one. Got the poetic for cheap, seems nice but after reading amazon reviews I'm leery and would rather not risk it. I'm looking for a stand and some protection for travel, I'll post a comparison.
I have a black Samsung book cover for my tab pro 8.4 and so far it works and feels great!

Hey all. I'm looking for a case for my new Shield K1 and I'm trying to find one similar to the Moko case I bought for my Nook HD+ years ago (http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Slim-Fit...1453869778&sr=8-1&keywords=nook+HD++moko+case). Has anyone found a case like this? If not, what kind of case would you recommend for someone who carries his tablet around like it was a book that also acts as a stand?
I would like to find something that is a cross between what you linked (minus the hand strap) and the fintie smartshell case. Fintie case is great but the design for self standing position is limited and not the sturdiest.

Hello,
Is there something that keeps the cover attached to the back when you use the tablet in Portrait mode? I have a case similar to the one you use for your Nook HD (that I use with my Samsung Galaxy TabPro 8.4) and I love the little strap that attaches the cover...
Thanks.
