Hi all,
I was hoping somebody could point me in the right direction for a decent case that protects better than a generic fit 10.1" case I could buy at the local Wal-Mart. I use my tablet with the dock attached 98% of the time and it travels to work and home with me everyday. I would love to have it in a good protective case that would allow the dock to remain attached but I didn't know if anything existed, or at least something I can't seam to find.

I like the Gumdrop brand myself. Not 100% hardshell, heck the bak is rubber with no exo-skelton of any kind. Does come with integrated/replaceable screen protection and it covers all openings. Check it out.

I have a gumdrop case on my Galaxy Tab. It is a good case but I would like to maintain 100% usability of my keyboard/dock

That's pretty nice, I may give that a go and see how it is. I need to find something, today I left my tablet on top of a 6 foot tall 480v transformer and it fell out of my passenger seat of my truck going down the interstate so it takes some abuse. But I use the dock for typing documents 3-7 times a day which is why it is important I can keep it attached.

The case is similar to many we've seen... all of them are the same in my opinion....but this also comes with a screen protector.... didn't get it myself because I got one of these cases from ebay for 1.75 and didn't like it all too much so I ordered an acase case which is on the way....hopefully someone will find this useful!

I don't recommend this
I got this last week, and the fit is pretty bad on mine. The part that covers the bezel doesn't rest flat against it. It is raised up all the way around. I haven't tried the best screen protector.
How's the durability of the case look?
can someone recommend a case like the ipad 1? I like the thin and still sturty feel. Perfer from amazon.
Or can anyone recommend a good thin and protective case for the transformer?
also need a screen protector.
Thanks you advance!

Have you used one? If so I would think you would be a little less jealous. The magnets and bracket are flimsy so it bends and/or falls off pretty easily. Also in the completely open (bent back) position it doesnt quite fit the ipad right. Also a couple of people Ive known have had the magnetic off/on stop working, one would assume it was an alignment issue.
Its an interesting idea and I can understand they want to stick to the magnets for simplicity but its not the most durable solution.
Starting a new thread since my other thread got destroyed, what is generally perceived to be the best case style? I`m thinking of just a sleeve, UT then if I drop it whilst using it it wont be protected. Is there a good one for both keyboard and tablet, or is it best to get two separate ones?
Thank you, suggestions would be appreciated!
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
If you usually leave your keydock in all the time, I would def get a case that fits both.
I guess it depends on what way you're gonna use it more often.
I'm also thinking of getting just a sleeve type of case, that can fit just the tablet or both tablet+keyboard.
I would be using it at sixthform so will be using the keyboard a lot! But, wouldn't need one for both whilst in use I guess?

Search for "Asus TF101 keyboard case" on Ebay, see if that works!
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
all the cases that can take the tablet and the dock together look horrible. they cover up all the surroundings of the tablet and the dock. like this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Navitech-Ex...3C/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1325682973&sr=8-16
or this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Luxury-Leat...4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1325683050&sr=1-4
i found the best combination was to use the blurex style cases for the tablet, they allow you to connect the dock and its perfectly useable, you just cant close the case fully with the dock attached.
if i am out and about and just using the tablet i just use the blurex cases. if i am out and about and using the dock too i put the blurex case and dock seperatley in this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Protective-...?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1325683050&sr=1-17
I really like my Tuff-Luv case. But it "suffers" from the bezel covering issue so you probably wouldn't like it. I like that the bit for the keyboard comes right off, with some heavy duty snaps, for when I just want the tablet only.

I do not know of any silicone cases that can remain totally in position when the tablet is attached to the docking station HOWEVER you can just release the silicone case from the bottom of the tablet and it then fits easily into the dock BUT remember that whilst on the dock the case is bent up at the back of the tablet a little.

I'm not quite sure if I understand the pictures well and how this really works ?
Is the Dock also protected by a silicone case or only the Tablet ?
Is it possible to have a retailer link or the manufacturer link for this product to have additional pictures, details and price ?
Thx

There's another piece for the dock. I didn't have it on, though. In fact, I just took the silicone off and put on carbon fiber skin. The silicone added probably 50 pounds to the overall weight.
It's the following skin.
http://www.overstock.com/Electronic...Soft-Gel-Case/6434147/product.html?cid=123620
Just measure very carefully and very very carefully cut out the bottom. Just use your imagination. Look at my pictures again. See how everything fits?
Arobase40 said:
Hmmm, I exercised my imagination pretty hard but couldn't find out the dock piece nor how the silicone gel skin can add "50 POUNDS" (22.68 kg) to the overall weight.
I was also searching on eBay, but couldn't find anything close to the product described on the OP...
The intention was good anyway.

You have a pretty crappy imagination
I think he used 2 modified skins from his link and modified both to fit the hinge and dock.
Also it looks like a decimal was misplaced lol. .50 lbs I could see.

Does such a thing exist? I'm thinking of a trifold cover similar to the ipad that would allow the tablet to sit up on the table in two positions, and then when you wanted it docked it could do that as well...

They have a brown leather one on Amazon and of course the ones from China on ebay
I don't know, that link to the handheltitems product looks very clunky and doesn't trifold, so it only stands up *almost* vertically, and if you want to lean it back any, you can't because the back side just slides away...
I'm thinking literally just a trifold cover, not a case I guess, that attaches somehow like the ipad one does.

Id go with a trifold, and still might.. I had one with my KF but id really like something that includes the keyboard dock..
There is a very nice leather one at cellmacs.com
I cannot post links but if you go to their website and just search for TF300T you'll find it. Good quality, reasonably priced and free shipping.

I'm still leaning towards the one on the 3rd post.... it's still the best option IMO, and comes in carbon fiber leather! Come on June 18th!
I bought this one and I love it. All holes line up and it's nice to have it all folded up and protected. My only flaw is when I'm a lefty, when I use it vertically I have to turn the tablet upside down because when open it up like a book the power button is on the bottom left corner and the volume rocker is on the bottom of the unit on the left side. Other than that I love it

Thanks, that's the Poetic Leather Case. Do the button holes stick out when you are using the case as a portfolio without the keyboard?
The only hole for the buttons are the volume rocker buttons and they are pretty flesh with the holes. I will take some pictures tonight when I get home. What kind of pictures would you like to see?

Just wanted to drop in and give a recommendation on this case. It's keyboard compatible and holds shut with magnets. You can remove the dock pretty easily and it protects just as well without it.
I picked one up without any reviews, and I don't regret it. I think it's my perfect case!
amazon DOT com/MoKo-Transformer-Multi-Functional-Compatible-Keyboard/dp/B007S9ZG5A/ref=cm_cr_pr_pb_t
(can't post links yet)
+3 for the Poetic case.
As in I have bought 3 of them now, the first for myself and then 2 more as gifts. Incredible case. Can't recommend it highly enough.
