Docking the Tablet Z with the Official Case - Xperia Tablet Z Accessories

I bought my tablet Z with a couple of docking stands for around the house but I didn't buy the case as I couldn't find anywhere on how well the two could work together.
I can't see how the tablet could be docked with the case on but has anyone got both and had a play, is it a fiddle?
I generally don't use cases, as I prefer the dock options but my previous tablet, the HP Touchpad you could do both if you so wished and as I've spent a boat load more than the £99 for the Touchpad I'm feeling I should get used to a case.
I'd spend the rather hefty cost for the case if they worked together nicely or I'll just buy a cheapy for when I'm travelling.
Thanks, Manic.

The bottom part of the official case flips out, so it looks like most other cases will not fit. Frameless cases have a better chance of working.

$15 Caselogic VNA210 10.2-Inch Netbook/iPad Attache (Black)

i decided to purchase this for my transformer and i just got the case today. the price to me was pretty good, the quality of this carrying case or bag is great. i am not sure how many people just went for the tablet itself or intend to purchase it along with the docking keyboard. I plan on getting my tablet with the docking keyboard and from the looks of it right now, there should be enough room to fit them both inside this case nicely. i fit my tablet in there and there is still room to spare. there is also separate zipper compartment for other small accessories. flash drives, charging cables... etc. everything should fit fine. they also have a brown one available but that cost a few bucks extra, it might even match up with the transformer well. but i went for the black to save a few bucks and you can't really go wrong with black. while this is a bit thicker than just a plan sleeve, i feel it doesn't really show in this case. it looks slim for all the room it has. there are handles to make it easy to carry and even an additional/optional body strap included. i am sure this may not be for everyone but if it helps a few people, that would be great.

Glad to hear you like it. I plan to use it with the keyboard, so I'm looking forward to this case.
i bought the same one!
@OP
Thanks for sharing your experience with this product. I just ordered a brown one off Amazon; looks to me like it matches the brownish color hue of the Transformer & dock very well. I went for both so something that could cary and protect my investment safely.

Down to $13.22!
For the black version that is.
Could someone please confirm it that a TF101 with dock will fit this bag? As none of the posters had the dock or case to check it for real.

I have this case also and I can confirm that the docked Transformer fits. For the price it really is a nice case.

Smart Cover type case?

Coming from an iPad2, the only thing i miss was my smart cover. Allowed protection without adding bulk.
I know it wouldnt work quite the same but I saw something similar for a Galaxy tab. It has a thin (metal/plastic?) backplate to hold the front piece. Perhaps it could be magnetic where the two ends meet to keep it closed.
Anything like this already available?

The closest there is right now is the Asus case, its a sleeve with a standing back but its the thinnest I've seen.

Sikai case ordered from eBay. Like original iPad cover but with some smart cover like foldin fir different viewing angles.
+1 for this. I m hoping that something like this comes out soon too!!!!
They should just make something with a hard back and 4 little lips that go over the corners with a hinge on one side for the flap with magnets.
Seems very easy to make.

Cheers for that, just what I've been looking for. Ordered one.
Reports that the Sikai magnets screw with the digital compass used for google maps and such.
Kinda iffy now. I also don't want black. I'd like white or some bright color.
difficult to developing a smart cover case for TF101.
Couldn't the Samsung one fit the TF? Aren't they the same size?
Right now I have a casecrown portfolio case, but I would like to see something like a smartcover (rather Samsung's version of smart cover where you have all round protection including the back.
For those who haven't seen the samsung's smartcover ripoff, here it is:

No they are not, all android tablets out there have different sizes. Screen size doesn't matter much when you are looking for a case with a perfect fit.

*Pad Socks & Transformer Prime

Has anyone thought of using an iPad Sock as a light case for their Transformer Prime?
I have checked the dimensions (10."x5.3" (stretchy)), and even though the Prime is a little longer than the iPad it looks like these socks will fit perfectly on the TF Prime.
I know, I know, these socks are intended for that other tablet but considering how cheaply they can be has on eBay and also considering that they come in nice colors I figured I would buy one and give it a try.
I had been considering the Transleeve, but I just can bear to spend $40 on something I know will suck and these looked like a nice alternative.
Anyway, these are all over eBay for next to nothing:

(p.s. I plan on cutting off that tag! )
I actually use two iPad cases for my transformer... one sock (fits snug, but works) and a neo pouch kinda thing.
They work just fine!

Does the iPad sock completely cover the Prime? From the specs I found for these socks it looks like they should be just about a perfect fit but it would be nice to have confirmation
Just got my first Pad Sock and it fits the Prime pretty well:
It was a little short so I had to stretch it out a bit (rolled it up, pulled it like taffy), but this looks like it will be the perfect alternative to the problematic Transleeve. Just FYI, my Prime is inside of the sock in the photo above.
Also, this sock didn't have an unfortunate tag that needed removing
All in all, not bad for about $4.
I use the case logic pls9 neoprene sleeve myself for just tablet sometimes and also tablet and dock. It is less than 20 from Amazon and fits perfectly. Just another option if interested.

No idea. Maybe it somehow puts your screen to sleep if you close the cover?
idk, i have one that's almost identical, different brand though..a red one..i got it for 20, but i wish i had this type because mine's not as stiff, so it kinda falls back when i have it standing up. my boss has one that looks more like this, and his is more stiff so it stands up better.
either way, it ships from china, so it takes like 2 weeks to get apparently lol
"Standard (18-26 business days)"
two day shippiung is 44 dollars hahaha and expedited is the same.
the only problem of this type case is it doesn't protect the pen. Better to find a case with pen holder inside the case. My pen is broken with this case.

You put a Flyer in this case in your pocket? You must have some big pockets. This is a large case. Very good for utility but not for someone who wants to jam it into a pocket. There honestly is no case which will also hold the pen that will fit in a normal sized pocket.

My gf and I have 5 of these and they work well for any phone/tablet that we have tried with them. They are adjustable and allow for multiple configs. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00N1VDCGO/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=31FDGNP3BEYKX&coliid=I2ESZGJMUGAQTC&psc=1

I'll probably 3D print a stand/qi charger for my Nexus 6. If I do I'll be sure to share the 3D files with everyone.

I use a Flygrip. It works as a horizontal and vertical stand and keeps me from dropping the phone. I having been using one since my Note 2 and always the first accessory I buy.
I use a plastic business card holder on my nightstand. Cheap and simple. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001E6EWVW/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_iapCub1KJB7Y8

This would be a cool starting point ( no, I would not personally use the Pringle can ) for an amplifier type one, since we have a bottom firing speaker...

I like this one as it is natural small and portable
or if you like bigger one
you can search on AMAZON for MINIMAL PHONE STAND
I bought this Anker Stand from Amazon a couple of years ago and have used it for 3 different phones and 4 different tablets. Still works great, and the ability to change the angle is a really nice bonus.
