ive been looking around here and amazon trying to find a thin(and i mean as thin as possible) case for my TF. I see these roocase and same ones from a different name but they still seem too bulky for my taste. Curious if anyone else has seen something.
Not worried about material used or drop protection.
I use the sikai case since 2 weeks and I am very happy! It 's thin , but I don 't know if their are thinner cases!
The ASUS one is the thinnest I have been using. I think its basically the same or only a MM thinner than the sikai but its more money and I dont know if it can be built much better.

Where did you get the Sikai case?
Its from eBay and posted in other links. I have it myself and I can confirm that its very very good. No docking while its on though.

I'm on a quest for something of the same design as the sikai or the official asus case, but allows for docking....
The strange thing is that the official Acer iconia case is pretty much the same design, but is open at the bottom, but it stays in the case fine because it's such a tight fit. Hilariously enough, the Transformer, which actually has a keyboard dock, is closed at the bottom and so doesn't allow for docking.
Surely it's not that hard to do this?
Thinnest: Asus official.
Sexiest: Roocase Slim-Fit.
which one is the slim fit?

I agree.
Asus Official cast is crazy expensive for what it is.
The Roocase Slim-Fit can be found under different maker is even less money. I just ordered one under the brand poetic (I think) for a about 20 bucks.

Hi, is the rooCASE Ultra Slim a magnetic closer? Thanks for the help.
Do the magnets cause any problems for the pad?

Thanks! I order mine yesterday, hope I get it soon! ^_^
thanks for the link. that does look right up my alley. Kind of wished it had a pouch for a cleaning cloth too but meh. Had to order a new bag for work so ill see how it fits and base my choice off that.
looks magnetic. i see no straps or "snaps". Compass interference is important too.
Hoepfully the compass thing will be a non-issue in the next update. I am currently on the ASUS case with velcro but I previously had a magnetic case that my girlfriend is now using and it never caused a compass issue until the 3.2 update. And its obviously the case because the moment I take it out it works fine.
Something changed to really increase the sensitivity of the compass, hopefully they dial it back it bit in the next update. Honestly though, its amazing they have a compass that sensitive in it, Ive got some higher end equipment for camping that doesn't detect that small amount of magnetic interference.

Looks cool. I would buy it but I'm not sure how the magnet would affect the compass and I don't know if I need more protection. At $9.98 it's a great price though. Very tempting. Thanks for showing...

It looks to me like it is blocking the speakers ?
Can you verify (or hopefully, not verify) ?
How's the overall quality ?

I've given up on the "wrap around the outside but doesn't cover the beautiful back" silicon case that apparently will never come up. Went ahead and ordered one of these.
Can't you just but a silicone case and cut out the back using a box cutter? Or you looking for something different?

Ya I just bought it about an hour ago, it cost me $8 should be here sometime before friday, I'll let you know how it is, even though it does look like its made from the same people who made the roocase, and vertek. I think all they're doing is stamping their logos on them..

The charging port is covered while it's closed. Someone on Amazon complained about that and a representative of the company responded that it was designed that way on purpose so that the port wouldn't wind up getting damaged while the case was in use.
I just got this case and I must say it is awesome. Excellent quality. Highly recommended.

Verteks Case
I read a review on Amazon from a member here at XDA. I won't use his
name because he might not like it. But, I just got this from Verteks
for $5.99!! Total cost was $10.98 with shipping.
I Love it ! This will hold me over until I can save up enough to get the
keyboard dock.
Thanks to the guy who pointed me in the right direction and to
Verteks for a great product!
I might order the prime tablet as a gift for someone and looking for good case to go with it, so far i've been able to find this:
ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime 10.1-Inch Tablet Computer Transformer 2nd Generations Cover Hard Cube Case with Shoulder Strap and Attached Pocket ( BLACK - RED ) + Compatible Retractable USB ASUS Transformer Prime Mouse + Compatible ASUS Transformer 2 Earbuds Earphones + VanGoddy Live * Laugh * Love Wrist band
Something which will store the prime keyboard as well as other accessories along with it like the mouse.
Thoughts?
why red color, don't they have more colors to choose from?
I think this is such a cheap china ****. Better order everything from different stores

Case Logic are doing a nicer black case that you can use the prime with keyboard whilst still in the bag / case have a look on the case logic website. Think I will get the case logic one.

They are well made, I have a case logic for my Asus netbook and its very good. Will definitely get case logic for the Asus Prime. It's well protected, has a strap, it does the job and looks good.
these looks better,android case

At that price, I doubt their' quality. Let us know how they feel.
DO NOT get the smart cover, I had it on my first prime and it damages the metal back with dents and scratches. It is form Asus and is poorly designed (go figure), it will fall apart on your 3 times a day and although you can reassemble it, it is very annoying having to do so.
anybody got this case ，sold 80. still no pics about this case.

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.

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.

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.

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....
Hey guys, thinking of pre-ordering this, what do you all think? I've been interested in a case that covers both my Prime and my soon to have docking station. From what I see, I think it fits my needs. Feel free to share your thoughts.

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.

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.

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.
