Can someone suggest me a sleeve like a shocksock for those who haven't seen them here is an IPAD one

I have tried a Belkin sleeve previously but that was too small for my tf201 and all the other recommendations have been for netbooks IE the tablet with the dock which I don't want as I don't carry the dock around with me all the time and the tablet itself is lose in the sleeve without the dock again..not wanted
so any suggestions ?
Cheers
This is what I have been using since I got my prime months ago, lot of space for stuff, fits even with a case on(roocase leather folio case) still feels and looks brand-new. I got mine for 10$

does the prime not flap around inside ?
Hmm not really, it does slightly when it is the only thing in there but for the most part it's a pretty tight fit but the material can stretch to accommodate more items

I got one i bought from Blacks, no link but its just the right size. Generally, look for cases for netbooks. Most netbooks are about the same size as the prime. Also check cell phone stores, smaller electronics shops, more of the less mainstream areas. Theres a kiosk in my mall buy sells only tablet stuff. Check out places like this, and ebay. you can find lots of good deals on ebay just make sure "buyer beware", know what your buying
Happy hunting!

I have this sleeve as well and it works perfectly for the Prime.
Since you are looking for a sleeve, Thinkgeek offers this one which should fit the Prime as well based on the size of the sleeve:

I just got a transformer last week and I really don't like any of the folio cases available but want to have some kind of protection for when I throw it in my bag. So I was looking into sleeve cases on amazon but reading the reviews people were saying they didn't fit too well, having 1-2" of space so it moves around a lot. Are there any sleeves out there that are specifically made for the transformer or at least fit it decently?
Hmm, maybe I'm cheap but for that, I'd probably just pad it with a towel or a custom cut piece of foam.

I have this one. Fit the TF perfectly + some pockets for accessories.

the asus transformer is 27.1cm by 17.7cm I believe and surprisingly when I was looking for cheaper opinions on ebay it was the cheap as chips option that seemed to be sized as best 'fitted' for the asus's dimensions (in my opinion at least)
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150672438...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_3393wt_1085
I suppose if it works for what a person needs it for don't knock the 'cheap as chips' ness factor of it!

That's exactly what I was looking for, you have that case then?
I bought this one. Fits perfectly. Adds a zipper side pocket for the charger. Handles have velcro to keep the together. Has 2 plastic pouches inside made for SD cards. The handles come in handy if carrying other things.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Neopr...ltDomain_0&hash=item4cfbac6575#ht_1902wt_1189
Plus it is super cheap. The quality is about 8/10 as the zippers are just a little tough. For the price it can't be beat.
@ FlyingToilets - yes, I've just bought that one as extra extra protection - you can't really going too wrong with something that costs 2 quid
I've also bought this one as a main case (http://www.yourpoetic.com/android-t.../black-slimbook-asus-eee-cases-and-covers.asp) for about £13 at amazon as the main case (the other case I plan to house the asus+portfolio case and a stylus)
I really wanted to get this one (http://www.yourpoetic.com/android-t...ducts/black-red-asus-eee-cases-and-covers.asp) but it is a bit too much in the uk currently
I've only just ordered these so I don't know how good they will be but I'll try and let you know when they arrive!
I got this one for my Transformer and I love it!
Blurex (cant post links yet), just google blurex asus transformer case
Its slim, fits nicely, and feels great. It also lets me easily attach the keyboard while its open, but its not quite large enough to close around while the keyboard is attached and closed, which I don't really mind.
I just picked up a Transformer on Friday night, so just wanted something cheap for the time being to carry it in. There was a sleeve in the Best Buy ad today so I decided to pick one up. I'm very happy with it for $6.
I can't post links yet, but either look at the BB ad or search their website for "HP sleeve" and you'll find it.
I bought that el-cheapo ebay case.
1) Fit - it fits the transformer very well indeed. The long dimension is just right, absolutely would not want to be any less as it's a bit tight to flip the lid on. The short dimension is just fractionally more than would be a really tight fit, but it's so close that you really could regard it as made for the transformer (tab only, I doubt it would fit with the dock).
2) Finish - not so great. Seriously, what do you expect for the price? Within about 3 days some stitching gave way on the red piping , leaving it coming loose from the neoprene. I have repaired it by hand as at the price it really is not worth arguing it out with the seller.
3) Both of the above combine to mean that you need to be careful putting the case on and taking it off your tablet, as it's easy to pull the lid too hard and potentially break some stitching as you stretch the lid over the end of the tablet.
Overall... I am looking for a messenger bag style case for my transformer (and not liking anything I've seen except a couple of crumplers that, as much as I love their products, I am not prepared to pay for. In the meantime, this sleeve provides excellent value for my tablet around the living room and in my laptop bag.

I am got this one here and I have been very happy with it. It fits perfectly and allows me to stand it up at an angle.

I ordered this one as well. Hoping that it and the tablet both arrive on the 5th.
This my Targas case I bought from best buy yesterday for $19.99. Really good quality and nice padding inside to protect my prime and keep it scratch free. This will do until I find a real case that fits around the prime itself. This is more like a travel case but it'll do for now. I posted pix of the inside of it also so you can see the padding.

Got this from five below. It is a network case the the prime fits in perfectly. The 2 Styrofoam pieces aren't supposed to be there. I left the original one and took another one and I puts the prime between the 2 pieces. Works well

I just ordered this Poetic Case - I prefer a case that doesn't cover the front bezel. Plus it bends in such a way that I can still use it with the dock. I'll probably pick up a cheap sleeve for the dock.
Yep, I ordered the same one for the same reasons.

Let us know how you like it when you actually get it.
I ordered this VanGoddy case:

I hope it fits correctly. The name is suspiciously over specific.
It should arrive any day now, I'll let you all know how it fits.
I also ordered Poetic(TM) StandBook Stand Leather Case with Angle Adjustable for Asus Eee Pad Prime TF201 Black. My order says estimated delivery Jan 17-20. Maybe they don't really have them in stock.
I noticed that it says "Processing takes an additional 4 to 5 days" on the Poetic Case page.
I placed my order on the first. It doesn't show as shipped yet, but my delivery estimate says January 11-13.

so you need 1 case and 1 sleeve
wow, no ones getting that giant case with the extra removable piece for the keyboard I was wondering if it was worth it or not
I am waiting for a case for both the dock and tablet also.
i went out and bought a 10.2 netbook case from HP @ BB for $15
works well enough, but not quite what i really want though, this is to just save me until some manufactures get off their butts and produce something for us....
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

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!

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.

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:

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.
