is it keyboard-compatible like the other tuff luv cases? how much did you pay for it, where did you get it? does it come with a screen protector?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
I dont have the case but I strongly assume that if you buy the keyboard-compatible hemp one its made on exactly the same lines as the Pu and real leather ones. Why shouldnt it fit?? And as tuffluv doesnt really have resellers there is only one price, although if you almost go through to the end with the buy and then close the window (having entered your email address somewhere) tuffluv usually sends you a 10% code after about 2 hours to get you to buy the case.
hi
I ordered one yesterday.. will post a couple of pictures for you when I receive also review. There is a thread started earlier if you want to look. A couple of people have received the hemp case saying it was very good. I ordered mine via quidco any got 10% cash back. Wish I had known about a possible 10% code.
I bought a cheapish plastic case from ebay already. Hoping this hemp case will be worth the extra cash.....
Mine should be on the way as well... Will try to post back once I've spent a few days with it.
where did you guys buy it from? the tuffluvusa website doesn't seem to have it, and if i were to buy, i would like to do that coupon trick...
they're just a bit too expensive it seems.

There's a good review of the "veggie leather" one on transformerforums: http://www.transformerforums.com/forum/asus-transformer-accessories/2508-review-book-style-keyboard-case-asus-eee-transformer-3.html
Please delete - unintentionally posted same info in post #3
I bought one. They are very well made and cleverly designed to work with or without the keyboard. In the end, however, I sent mine back as it added too much bulk and made the whole thing quite heavy. Perfect if you're not bothered about that. Certainly seemed to provide a lot of protection.

I have one as well--Hemp/chocolate. Full tab and keyboard case.
I agree that it adds some bulk and weight when the tab is docked to the keyboard and the whole case is on. I don't mind it though, because it does add a lot of protection. Also, with just the tab and its case, it's not too heavy, and makes it easier to hold for extended periods.
Overall the build quality of the case is incredible--you definitely get your money's worth here, even though it's rather expensive. The materials are very good, the stitching is excellent, and everything lines up and works exactly as it should. I wouldn't hesitate to buy the case unless you're looking for something slim and trim.
Forgot to add--you can dock the keyboard to the tab and leave off the keyboard case if you want to reduce bulk--the regular tab case will close over it and mostly protect it while closed.

Do you mind posting some pictures? I would love some that give a closer look at the hemp material.
The only sticking point on the design of this case is that stand on the back. I've never really been a fan of those. Can you take a picture of the hinge for the stand? I wonder how hard it would be to take it off... Yes I understand that would leave the snaps bare, but I think I have a work around for that.
+1 on the pics
mind doing some without the keyboard case? it does look a bit chunky without it. i figured if i get the non-keyboard version, i'd save some money, and keep the device fairly slim.
I'm actually in the other camp. I think that it will be fine without the keyboard case, but am more interested in some pics with it. If anyone can take a few minutes to just post images (with and without the kb case) that would be great. No need for another full review since I assume the build quality is as solid as other users have claimed.
still interested in pictures?

Yes please. Just need to decide between the Leather or Hemp. I'd like to save the loot if the Hemp one looks nice. Your opinion of the material would also be appreciated.
here are some photos
Enjoy the pictures. Let me know if you want specific photos
The material feels very nice. And it feels very well protected in the case. But it does put on some weight and size. Acceptable to me but could turn off others.
It also looks very nice.

Can you post pics of the stand and how it stay closed? THX
The stand is attached with snaps. This allows the keyboard add on to snap in between the stand flap and the back cover.
I would love one picture of the left indide cover. From the first image, it appears that the flap and other pieces are black. Is that leather or fake leather or something else?
I'm pretty much sold on this and will order mine tonight. Thank you VERY MUCH for the extra images.
I ordered this case last week and so far I am really loving it. First things first, I really like the build quality. The case gives you alot of options with different viewing angles which is nice. It has leather on the outside and felt on the inside. All ports are accessible and you can even plug into the keyboard dock without having to remove from the case (huge bonus for me). I don't have anything to compare to but it seems very slim. I have never been a case guy for my phones but with a tablet I don't think it matters as much. Overall I am very glad I bought it. For the price, $25, the quality is second to none. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. Link to sale site below.

Edit: i do want to add that I just noticed the speakers look like they might be covered in the pix but when you take off the bumper guard you can see they are not covered at all. If anyone cares.....
Case looks nice. I just brought the rotating one but this looks really good.

I bought the rotating one too and hate it
The popper is a stupid idea, impossible to remove and attach with the TF insde without almost cracking the screen from the back
Should have been Velcro I think, I might replace it
Also the TF doesnt sit straight inside it, so the camera is partially covered by the back of the case

I don't know. Very sturdy so it SEEMS like metal. It's covered in leather so hard to tell.
I have the blurex case same as OP and love it. I've had several different tablets and tried most all the versions of cases, and this Blurex is the best I have ever had. It is extremely functional also looks really classy.
I ordered the Blurex case after reading your review and I just got it in the mail today. Its really nice, the fit is perfect with no slipping or sliding. The only thing I dont like is that the bottom is quite tight so its kind of awkward to put into the stand mode. Im sure itll break in though with use.

Yeah its gets a little more loose. But to be honest I like having it somewhat hard to get out. I just have to add, it passed to toddler test this weekend with flying colors
I bought this from Amazon after reading this review.
Great case, really nice. Thanks!
Picked up this case from Amazon UK to replace a previous case, love it, really well made, solid professional finish and really light.
I think the best part is having 100% of the screen area visable

Yeah definitely. Big reason I bought I it actually and it did not disappoint. The case does not cause any extra steps to get the tab docked.
anybody have a pic with the case on and docked?
Here u go dude. U obviously cannot close the case while docked but everything else is cool.
just ordered one thanks to this review for bringing it to my attention. Hope I like it. Was really hoping for something like the speck candy case for the ipad. Can't such a beast so got this guy. Thks
I love this case.
Ordered and received this case because of this review. I love it. When it is closed, it feels very durable, and I don't worry about breaking the transformer. When opened, the different viewing angles are perfect.
Thanks for posting this review and steering me towards this case!
Just got this case from Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005MZ35NM/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8
Amazingly the only folio I've been able to find. I have the same style case for my iPad and I must set this is the way to go. Though I can see the desire for a portrait mode . The hand strap is a great touch for that.

while I was looking for a case of my own. Since the Amazon one is out of stock, it seems like an alternative.

It looks great and the size is perfect - compact and slim. How does it feel in hands - solid? Does it block the mic hole at the top?

Looking at the pics, it looks like the NT would snap into it at the four corners rather than any edges. The NT's mic is a small hole at the top of the device, offset from the center. I doubt this case would block it.
[Edit]
Sorry, I should check the reply more closely before posting. I was looking at the one from Best Buy.
This is the one I picked up. It's pretty nice, a couple of different angles to stand the NT up, and it surrounds the whole thing, so it's pretty secure.
edit: I'm not allowed to post links yet, but search on amazon for crazy on digital's folio case for the Nook Color
This may seem like a dumb question, but can you stand it up in portrait mode with this case?

Well i just bought one from amazon. It will be hear Wednesday. I will Take pictures, and write a in-depth review on it by next Friday.

ordered this before I even saw your post.
Got it, hate it. No way to really fold the cover back and use it in portrait mode. Cover doesn't close flush with the nook.
Really nice quality leather.
If you case closes flush with the nook then I might be wiling to get a replacement and see if this one is defective but I don't think the magnets are strong enough/the groves to hold it in portrait prevent it from closing flush.
Just got the Speck Fitfolio in black. It fits very well and does not make it feel bulky at all. They have also extended the "vegan leather" on the back over the hard shell making it look far nicer.
Ok I purchased this case. Like the feel of it and its not too bulky. BUT, whatever chemicle they used to coat the leather absorbed into the bezel of my nooks rubber paint coating and caused a brown spotted discoloring.... I tried to clean it with alcohol and other cleaning products but its absorbed in the coating ... im pretty pissed to be honest. I just orders a skinomi woodgrain skin to cover the damage up, and plan on taking pictures and contacting the case manufactor to have them buy me a new nook! WARNING TO ALL!
I purchased this case
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005MZ35NM/..._am_us?ie=UTF8
I've had it for about 3 weeks but haven't used it due to a very
strong chemical smell. The smell transferred to my hands after unpacking the case.
I've been waiting for the smell to go away before using it but after reading posts regarding damage the Nook finish I may never use it.
At the time I purchased my Nook I also picked up a B&N case that was discounted 30%. It's much better quality, I really like clips that hold it in place. Very quick and easy to pop the Nook in and out. The B&N case was approximately $10 higher cost but I feel it's higher quality case and worth the cost difference.
So I was searching for a replacement case because I'm really unhappy with my poetic slim case. I was searching on Overstock and came across this swivel case, and im in love. I've seen one similar for the ipad, but did not know one existed for the transformer. It leaves access for all ports, has a hard plastic back covered with that fake leather type feeling material. The transformer can rotate 360 degrees in the case as well as stand. The case does not add much bulk, but protects all sides, screen, and back. It closes with an elastic strap. I'm really happy with this new case!

Yep, I have about the same case, I purchased mine off Amazon. It's superb. My only complaint is that it's somewhat easy for the TF to fall out of the grooves when you have it propped up. Still, works great for what I wanted.

Yes, very good case. Most case has cut opening on the corner and the tablet will dent if drop. This case covers all corner and it is very solidly build. There is the two and three groove version, get the two groove one. Mine holds the tablet very well and doesnt came off easily.
We just received ours and I could not be happier. It's exactly what I wanted out of the case.

I have a couple questions. How easy is it to remove for those of us who have the dock? Also if you fold the lid back how flat does it lay like if you were to read with it?

It is pretty easy to remove the case. It holds the tablet very securely, but is easy to take out. And the lids folks back 2 ways. Either close to the swivel point, our in the muddle if the case. either way, it lays very flat.
Is it dockable? I only ask because the picture on overstock has a dock showing. If not its still a nice case for the price.
Sent from my HTC Sensation using Tapatalk
Not to bump an old thread, but is this case available with 3 angles instead of just two? How well does the plastic housing protect the tablet? I'm assuming is not removable like the RooCase as well.
Actually this case was the second one I bought..
I love this case... the TF is easy to put in it and remove it (while still being secure) and I dont own a dock so I cant say as to that, but other than it slipping out of the grooves sometimes its the best case I have seen... this is my new go to..
Are any of the cameras obstructed by the case? My original case I replaced (rooCase) had camera holes as small as those and the back camera looked like it had a circular vignette. The front camera only became affected when the case shifted a bit. Looks like this case would have similar issues, even though I love the rotatable aspect.

After finding out about Brando screen protectors after reading a thread here on XDA, I decided to see what other accessories they had for the 7.7. And they had a couple cases in different colors that looked worth a try. Ive been wanting one that snapped on and only covered the edges and not any of the screen itself because sometimes they will cause a screen protector to peel, and I found this. It comes in 4 colors. I ordered the "ice" color which is basically clear because I wanted to still be able to see the silver back. And since it was only $10 I decided to pick up this one too, also in the ICE color. So anyway Ill write some short reviews about them when I get them. It takes 7-10 days from Hong Kong. Heres a couple pics also.
Just ordered 2, these look awesome! Thanks for posting, I'll post pics when I get them.

I got a similar one, with an X in the back. It works, but it increases the size a bit (not so much thickness though, but the length x height), without adding much value (like a stand or wallet pockets or whatever). And it's kind of slippery in your hands, but not so much in your pocket.
It does protect the tab more than the OEM book case, but the Book Case looks better, it's more portable, it's a stand and slips into your pocket easier, while not being slipery in your hands when folded. Protection is just against scratches though.
The worst thing about the case like this is the power button. It's kind of hard to press on/off and sometimes I turn off the tablet trying...very annoying.

Yea, I will most likely be using the snap on most of the time.
UPDATE: Ive received the cases and will write a short review with pics.
Ill start with the snap on case. First thing I noticed that there were 2 spots that had what I would call a stress mark. You know the whitish look that plastic gets when its been bent and is close to breaking? (see pics) This was right out of the package. And it had a scratch along the back as well. Very cheaply made. But it does fit, and fits pretty good. But compared to the TPU type it just doesnt look good, so that one will be shelved. No point in returning it. Comes in Blue, Pink, Black, and ice (clear) I dont recommend this case.
The "ice" colored clear TPU style "X" case is awesome. Its made very well and fits perfect. Since its clear the silver of the tab shows through and looks great. All the ports are cut out well, and it has a very nice grip feel to it. Which of course is a great thing to have on a nearly $600 tablet. My only complaint is one that happens with most of these style cases, and that is that it makes the buttons stiff, and less responsive. They work, but require a lot more force to register. Other than that if you want a case that protects, and still shows the awesome silver back of the 7.7, I do recommend this case, and I prefer the ice colored one. (clear) It does come in red also.
I had also ordered this sleeve . I knew there was a chance it might not fit, but based on the measurements I knew it would be close. Well it didnt fit. It was only $7.45 shipped so no biggie. Ill give it to my mother in law that has the first edition 7" galaxy tab.
I just checked their site (brando), and they have a new case choice that looks like it might be good. Its a snap on type, but is rubber backed rather than the hard plastic. Comes in Colors: Black, White, Blue, Pink, and Red. I might order one, but I learned from my last order to expect at least 16 days for shipping.
Anyway thats all and heres some pics.
Now that you have had the clear back cover for a few days, how is it holding up specially around the buttons and sim/SD slot? I ordered a similar one from an eBay seller in china and it has fallen apart those two areas. This was within 2 day of first use, I had not dropped it so was very upset about it. I did pay $4 for it so i guess I shouldn't complain.

I dont even use it. Already collecting dust. I use the X case sometimes, but love the poetic case and use it the most. Looks great, protects great, and has multi stand angles. Highly recommend.
