All the nice portfolio cases (roocase & tuf-luv) are going to be out in July.
I'm looking for a really cheap one to hold me over. I hope to get one fast (hopefully from within US) for under $20 including shipping. Anybody seen anything?
This one is supposed to be pretty good.

if you search ebay for " SOLO iPad and e-Reader Jacket - Black/Blue" you find it for 17 bucks.
I ordered mine but am still waiting for delivery. Anyone else got this since the last thread was last bumped?
RooCase is available for shipping ??!!
Roocase is pre-order on Amazon thru PCMicroStore (July shipping). But they're available on PCMicroStore website directly:
Just search for "asus transformer" on their website (I can't post a direct link).
It has free S/H, so about the same cost as buying via Amazon.
I used this coupon code for 20% off "20OFFTABLET". So it's about $25 shipped. I believe the code lasts for first 1000 users.
Just ordered, so don't know if it will ship soon.

Thanks for the info! I ordered the black folding case. I'm hoping it's thin enough to fit inside the Case Logic netbook sleeve I bought from Amazon, so I can have some extra padding for it during transport.
I got the solo. It's quite well padded but a little pricey and it doesn't stand up on its own.
anyone get their hands on the roocase yet? is it well padded? it's hard to tell from the picture.
Hm, trying to decide between the executive and the multi angle. Does anyone have an opinion on whether or not one uses an angle other than 45 degrees for viewing on a table?
I ordered my roocase last night and since then, they changed it to preorder, shipping on 7/11.The rep stated they are waiting for them to come from China. That's too long to wait so I cancelled my order.
If there's one thing I hate, it's a site that says an item is in stock when it is not (and, in this case, apparently never was). I cancelled my order, too.
My rooCase pre-order availability date from Amazon moved from July 11 to June 30. Interesting...

I've been watching the RooCase on Amazon. It was July 3rd, last week then up to July 11th. Hopefully June 30th is actually the date. I need to get my order in.
For anyone looking for more detailed pictures, it's probably going to be very similar to their cases for the Xoom seen here:

The actual pictures of the rooCASEs are already out. See this thread:

Bring on the cheap cases
There's a couple of auctions on ebay one @$13.69 shipped and one @$15.68 shipped. Both sellers are from California.
I think we are at the point where the Transformer accessories aftermarket is beginning to settle in.
Now we just need those chargers and cables.

Yea, I like it. But there is only 1 small picture there, and it looks exactly the same as the case for the Xoom. Many more pictures of the Xoom case.

Found a $15 PU case, in brown, black or white (white is $27).
Ordered it from HK, so I have a couple weeks of wait, but it looksw great & is super cheap. If it isn't great, I'll see how the rooCASE turns out.

I dunno, by the time you receive this shipment you could have just preordered either one of the rooCASE or the Case Crown cases that are coming out in 1-2 weeks and shipping from within the US. Also, if you do have to ditch the first case, it is $15 wasted.

I had finally settled on the rooCase Slim-Fit Folio through Amazon (via PC Micro Store) as seen here:
http://www.amazon.com/rooCASE-Slim-Fit-Adjustable-Transformer-10-1-Inch/dp/B0058DLAA8/ref=pd_cp_e_3
Originally listed as available on July 18th, I ordered it last week in hopes of having it by Friday to take on vacation (and paid for expedited shipping as well). However I noticed today that the "available" date had been bumped to July 20th, and I hadn't received any shipping notices, so I fired off an email to check things out.
Unfortunately the case is now delayed until July 26th, which is when "they" will receive their shipment, and then start shipping. This won't work for me, as I'll be laid up in a Cabin in Colorado for 2 weeks The person who responded was very nice and apologetic for the delay, and offered to refund my expedited shipping charge (14.99) and still send the package expedited as soon as it was available. While a lovely gesture, it just doesn't help me in my current situation.
So now I'm without a case, and definitely need one before we leave on Saturday.
In your experience, do you think I could get a case (rooCase, Caseen, etc.) online and shipped in time for my trip without spending an arm and a leg, or should I head to Best Buy and try to find something that I can jam the Transformer in for my trip.
Just wanted to share the delay of the case, my good experience with PC Micro Store customer service, and ask if anyone had any suggestions to get something in my hands by Friday or Saturday. Thanks!
Great looking case!

I am in the same boat, minus the 2 week vacation. I do fly out Friday as well, but I will be flying back on Sunday. I also got the same email with the offer to refund the expedited shipping and still expedite once they get them in stock.
I have been traveling with just the cheap hp case and a stand:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0033RSNPG
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0049H8W1Y
I was really looking forward to the slim-fit though. As for other similar cases, anything roocase is out as there only looks to be one supplier for them. For any of the other ones it just depends on who is actually doing the shipping. Amazon is usually very good about making next/2-day as per the item page. You just have to be more careful about the purchases that don't actually come from Amazon. Whatever you are going to do, I would hurry up. You are just on the edge of rolling over to another shipping day for Amazon.
Good luck.
Edit: Yes...I am a sad Panda as well.
I ordered the same case but have been waiting since July 6th, I guess one more week is not such a big deal.What is a bit disconcerting is that the email says they will mark the order as shipped on Amazon.
+1 on the sad panda. But m not going anywhere and my transformer stays fine on my couch, without a case. Just saved some money! not so sad a panda now that I think about it.
Sent from my cell phone. DUH.
Thanks for the sad panda support guys! I went ahead and canceled the order, went to my local Micro Center and bought a cheap neoprene sleeve to hopefully keep my TF safe during travels (and kept the receipt and tags). Certainly not ideal, as I really wanted a folio that I could use to protect it and let my 20 month old son watch movies in the back seat on our long drive. Ah well, we shall perceiver!
Hopefully while I'm away, you guys will get your slim-fit and post some thoughts. If it's favorable ill go ahead and order one when I get back.
From the pictures, with this case we can connect the keyboard without removing the case, right?
I think I'll get this one.

Bump- as I also would like to know this...
I've been holding off because I'd really prefer buying a case that allows me to dock without removing the TF and I don't want to spend money on the Tuff-love because it's too expensive for me.
I ordered this case as well however I just canceled it. I found the Acase version of the slim fit on amazon that is in stock with free shipping. I originally paid the $20 for expedited shipping that wouldn't arrive until after Aug 4th to an FPO address. However the Acase offers free shipping that will arrive between Aug 1st and Aug 4th, or for the $5 shipping they have a guaranteed delivery of Jul 30th. The Acase version can be found at
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005D1Q6J0
The rooCase Leather Folio Case Cover has been around on Amazon for quite a while now, but I noticed today that it now has a special offer for free shipping when it does come out. Use the code "IL22S7KR" while checkout to get the $4.98 shipping discount.
Delivery estimate for me is Jan 13-17.

Thanks for alerting me to this, this is probably the cheapest case from a company I trust to have actually tailored it to a real transformer prime and not just a generic 10" android tablet case.. just ordered one
I used the slim case from rooCase for my Samsung. I liked it a lot. I'm sort of waiting for it to be available for the Prime too. I tried using the one I have on the Prime, but the case is slightly too small...

Amazon has listings for slim cases from VERTEKS and VIPERTEK that look similar to that case for the prime.
misread the post....thought we were looking at the leather case...the slim cases don't look too bad at all!
Just ordered thanks for the link
Just cant believe these guys dont have anything in stock when a new device comes out.
This looks almost exactly like the Verteks case except that this has a cutout for the speaker. Hmmm... Didn't think about the cut out for the speaker. This might make me switch my order for the rooCase.
How exactly do those hinge / snap looking things (from the VERTEKS / VIPERTEK models) work for holding the tablet? Their hold on the device looks rather precarious
ordered
this is one of the two that i can find with portrait view, the other one is not real leather and costs 20.
hopefully it's not too thick
Like to know if anyone actually likes this. Still debaiting on what to get.
did anyone got a shipping notification on this one yet?
sent them email, no reply
So you ordered the Roocase this one? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0062OKDIC/ref=oh_o01_s00_i00_details
Do you have it yet? My tablet will be here tomorrow and I ordered a Moko cancelled it ordered another purple Moko cancelled it plus neither one were in stock for awhile. I've seen this and the executive one. Do these clip on like some of the others I've seen? I don't know if I like clip on ones. I do know the executive one zips and I don't know if I will use it in portrait but it's nice to know it does it. What does this mean? Detachable Inner Sleeve for Handheld Operation Does it mean it will slide out and be covered still? Sorry I am still confused on which to buy. Does this one look any good?

Didn't see the Moko one before, I would have bought that one instead probably based on price, it doesn't look like it has the speaker cut out. I ordered the rooCase on the 3rd, estimated to be sent out on 10th, however, today is the 11th, Amazon status still says Shipping Soon, so no idea how long it'll take.
ideally, i want something really thin, doesn't cover the Transformer look, and stands landscape and portrait mode in multi angles. i don't need protection, i need a case+stand.
the detachable inner sleeve means there are two layers on the case, sleeve, and the actual case. you can use the sleeve without case, which is kind of convinient.
I emailed as well (through amazon's "contact the seller" method), no reply yet. Mine also still says "shipping soon." I paid a lot for 2-day shipping, too, because I'd really like to take my prime to a conference I'm going to this weekend. Frustrating.

I am canceling my order, but I had to e-mail the seller a request to cancel instead of just being able to cancel like you're able to do with most orders. Seems a little fishy to me...

On which case the Roocase one? Guess I'll do this one if all the cutouts are good even for the speaker..

So do you recommend I order the Moko cheaper one? The Roocase though says available the Moko says 1/18. But if the speaker isn't cut out then I don't want it. I emailed the company to ask them I don't now what to do but i have to leave for work and my tablet just got here YAY!

just got an email reply saying my case went out today.
amazon status still shows "shipping soon"
Mine is still showing shipping soon, I sent two e-mail, no reply.
I got the "Shipped" email today and Amazon shows it as "Shipped" as well. Order placed Jan 4th
I really want this case. Seems for some reason it is very rare and hard to find.
I ordered one a month ago from MyTrendyPhone.com and it has still not arrived. They sent me affidavit to sign that I just sent back. I have a feeling all I am going to get is a refund.
Anyone know where I can get this case in black?
Thanks,
Chad
First I got an email saying they would be shipping me a new one.
Then overnight I got an email saying they are sold out and offering me 20% off my next order under $40. Offered me a refund as well.
Why is this case in such sort supply? I don't have one yet, but it looks to be the best case out there. It replaces the back cover which adds less bulk, and has wireless charging built in.
I have not been able to get my hands on one either.
Finally got my refund from MyTrendyPhone.com, and have now placed an order with Expansys.com. They have it available. Also got the Quick Circle Wireless Charging case ,to see which one I like better.

Looks like they only have it in white?
Bought mine from Amazon.de Germany. Use chrome browser and it will translate. Choose other sellers and pick Amazon. Got it in about a week and a half for just under $40 including shipping.
MyTrendyPhone is a garbage company. Ordered from them too but never again. The Slim Guard case is absolutely the best case for the G3. I bought mine from Expansys and received it within a week. It is every bit worth the $45 or so that I paid and yes; it is very hard to find. Your best bet is maybe a secondhand off of eBay.
Does anyone know of anyone selling the black case unused?

I just bought two (one for me and the other for my wife) from amazon.de but unfortunately the seller didn't ship to the USA so I had it sent to my cousins apartment in Germany and she forwarded me the package which I received today.
Some pictures to share...
just purchased from Amazon.fr. 42USD.
the only seller on the German Amazon that would ship to me would charge an exorbitant shipping fee.
I have got the uk version but getting shot of it as not for me. Prefer my supacase.
Hello everyone!
I order all the time cases from this site. Maybe later I will put links. The last time I order this
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Sem...32832949386.html?spm=2114.13010708.0.0.wKp7z3
But seems like the phone doesn't recognize it. Is anyone dealing with such kind of case? Can I somehow make it work?
Actually its not original Led Active Case. Its a good quality copy. See in item info "
.Other Info:This cover can not receive call when cover closed , you need open the cover , ..."
All seller's say clear view or s biew and more ****s
But there is just glass view. In my county in phone access. selles this china ****s for 60-70$...
Don't buy, even don't buy this type of case from Samsung official site.
