I have a rooCase coming in next week, but I'm looking for something else for extra padding when I'm traveling and to carry accessories with the tablet.
It looks like this Targus bag should be about the right size, but I was wanting to make sure.
Yes I have one. I got mine at target for around 24 bucks. It is a perfect fit. I imagine the keyboard will fit in the other compartment perfectly but i have no keyboard.
The inside pocket might seem to small but it is very soft and it doesn't take long to stretch making a very snug fit.
It holds my prime and 2 chargers. I don't have a need to carry more but there is room for it.
I 100% recommend this bag.
Yeah, I saw it at Target a couple of hours ago for that price, which is why I asked. Thanks for the review!
I have it as well and second the perfect fit. When the dock is attached to the tablet it fits next to the inside pocket. When their separate, the tablet fits in the pocket and the dock fits right next to it. The padding is soft and not excessive. I included some pics for you. There's also room for the charger in the outside pocket and of course a cloth for the fingerprints.
I also paid 24.00 at Target but couldn't find online for that price. I 100% recommend
I almost bought it several times in the month ( felt like months) wile my prime was preordered. Then my wife bought me one for Christmas though I still had a bit of a wait. It is perfect for travel. It feels like it was made for the prime.
I picked up this at Best buy. Had some rewards points that needed to be used

It fits it well and it has the two compartments which fit it nicely if I detach the keyboard they can both be separated and protected if I choose or it fits fine as one piece. It has extra pockets on the inside for my mouse, cables and charger.

I got this one. It looks exactly the same but the two compartments are supposedly a little bigger than the one you posted. Yours is the TSM148US while mine is the TSM097US. It's a little cheaper too.

Check out this review:
Perfect for my ASUS Eee Pad Transformer and its keyboard dock, June 8, 2011
By L. Paquin (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
This review is from: Targus CityGear Netbook Case for up to 10.2 Inch Netbooks- Black and Grey TSM097CA (Personal Computers)
I have been looking around to find a good mean to carry my ASUS Eee Pad Transformer tablet around and its Keyboard/Docking Station but not necessarily always docked. Most netbook carrying bag only have one padded compartment to put the netbook. I was looking for one which had two sections so that I can leave them undocked to quickly pull the tablet alone quickly (as opposed to pull the docked tablet, undock and then put the keyboard back in the bag).
Last weekend, I brought my Transformer and the keyboard dock and went shopping around for that perfect bag. I found the Targus CityGear Mini (TSM148US) and tried it. The form factor was definitively what I was looking for but one of sub-sections was a little tight. I still decided that it would work for me and that it might strech a little over time. Then, when I looked on Amazon, I saw that there was this model, the Targus CityGear Netbook Case for up to 10.2 Inch Netbooks (TSM097US), which had pretty much the same specs but was cheaper (always a good thing). So, I decided to try it.
I received today and quickly opened it. It is pretty much the same as the one I tried last weekend but the two sub-compartments are bigger. So, no need to strech them and they work out of the box. It is a great way to carry my tablet docked or not to the keyboard. The side pockets of the bag also offer enouch space to carry the charger (it is pretty small anyway) and also my Arkon Portable Fold-Up Stand (great stand for this tablet BTW).
So, all-in-all, I highly recommend this tablet. I had been searching for recommendations for the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer and did not find anything that stroke me. This is why I thought of writting this detailed review (and I will post pictures) for my fellow Transformer owners!

This case looks pretty cool. How much storage space is there in the other slot? Is it enough to carry say a mouse, charger, and sixaxis?
I bought this one.

It works for the most part just will for a little more pocket space in the other spots.
I picked up the GNP 12.2 relatively "cheap" for $449 refurbished by Samsung as a easy, portable laptop replacement for my HP2000. All I really do away from my desktop is email, web browsing, Facebook, Tapatalk, Youtube, Netflix, and a handful of things that Android handles well, and it works great.
My current case is a $15 eBay cheapy that I am not happy with... What I am looking for is a recommendation for a case that has a keyboard and can be used as a plain tablet case in your hand, lap, or stand up on a table w/o the keyboard, about 50/50 usage each way, without completely swapping cases.
I was hoping for an option under $50 and was looking at the Khomo keyboard case with swivel or a Moko BT keyboard case on Amazon.
Any recommendations on something else or anyone using either of these cases?

I can highly recommend the Logitech Keyboard pro. Ok. It's expensive but it's worth every cent!
Have a look at youtube, there is a test.
I am very happy with my Logitech pro KB.
In combination with the Logitech ultrathin touch mouse the Galaxy is a perfekt office.
For keyboard cases specially designed for the Note Pro, the Logitech is great.
Still, I would love to have a keyboard with trackpad since many times the combination of Keyboard and touch screen is very inefficient and I don't want to carry a mouse.
There are generic Chinese cases with keyboard and trackpad but they look cheap to me (not only in the price).
Asus has a great BT piece called ASUS Transleeve Keyboard 90XB00HP-BKB090 or 90XB00HP-BSL070 that comes with a folding cover to place the tablet at the correct angle but I don't know if it will fit the Note Pro well.
Also, the keyboard is intended for a Windows tablet so maybe the multimedia keys will not function properly in Android.
Since the Accessories forum for the Note Pro is stagnant I figured we could make a list of the must have accessories one should get to further enjoy their Note Pro. If possible provide a link to where it can be purchased. Here is a list of the accessories I have so far:
ZAGG Keyboard Case:
Samsung Galaxy S-Pen Stylus Pen with Eraser for Galaxy Note II
Exact Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 / Tab Pro 12.2 Case
MobilePioneer USB 3.0 9pin OTG Host Flash Disk Cable
SanDisk Ultra 64GB MicroSDXC Class 10 UHS Memory Card
AmazonBasics 11.6-Inch Laptop and Tablet Bag
Mr Shield Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2" Anti-glare Screen Protector [3-PACK] with Lifetime Replacement Warranty
aLLreli® 10ft 3M Premium Gold Plated USB 3.0 Supper Speed Data Sync Charger Charging Braid Cable - Extra Long - USB 3.0 A Male to Micro B Male Adapter Cable Universal (about 10ft long)
Anything else you can recommend please post below. I know opinions vary on the keyboard case...many like the Logitech or Samsung keyboards. I plan on getting the Samsung version once the price comes down a bit...but I didn't like the Logitech keyboard because it was too bulky...
Great info. Thanks.

- The Wacom Bamboo Stylus Feel for Galaxy Note. If you plan to do a lot of handwriting or just prefer a more pen-like feel.
Personally I prefer a sleeve and a seperate keyboard, so:
- Logitech K810 Bluetooth illuminated keyboard.
- Belkin Flipblade Adjust stand
- Samsung USB OTG adapter
- Logitech m705 marathon mouse (the logitech unifier reciever works with the OTG, so you can use any mouse/mouse+keyboard combo that uses that)
- Samsonite 13.3" Neoprene sleeve
- Samsonite 16" laptop&tablet messenger bag, or the Icicu 13.3" Neoprene tablet bag of I need a smaller bag. (not usually. I'm a woman, carry a lot of rubbish )
And on long days:
- X-Storm ASolar 15,600 mAh powerpack.
I don't provide links since I'm not in the US. (US doesn't ship electronics to and from the EU.)

Thanks for adding these. I was looking at getting the LOgitech K810 but wasn't sure if it wasn't overkill for my needs. I do have a Motorola Bluetooth keyboard designed for Android that I didn't mention....so if the need comes along where I need a separate keyboard I have that one. As for the Samsonite bag....you have some expensive taste girl! THat bag be expensive!!!

Well, I bought a NotePro, that should sufficiently confirm my rather expensive (but quite practical) taste
I figured, if I was going to spend my cash on a bag, might as well get myself one I can use for the next 10 years for everything. It wasn't too bad, considering the tab itself was 900 quid..
I use the keyboard about 25% of the time, so a case with a keyboard certainly would be overkill.

It would still be quite helpful to have your links to see pictures and model numbers. For example, I searched Samsonite 13.3" Neoprene Sleeve and there are several on Samsonite's website with a range of prices.
I also saw the post in which someone compared your Icicu bag dimensions to another (not nearly as elegant) bag. I looked up yours on the Icicu website and was disappointed there was no photo of the bag's interior (or even a closer view of the pockets). I wonder if you might be able to post photos of your bag with and without your things?

I also use this keyboard. I love the backlit keys and the ability to use the same keyboard with my tablet and my pc at the same time, switching between the two by simply pressing a button.
Other than that, I sometimes use a Logitech Zone Touch T400 mouse (I hate the noise the scrolling wheels make and this mouse solves that problem), although I primarily bought it to use with my laptop. The battery lasts forever.
I'm currently using the KLD case. I ordered a black one but it's really more of a dark brown with tan on the inside. I have a black Baseus case on the way.
I bought the Wacom Bamboo Stylus when I had a Note 10.1, but it wasn't as precise as the original pen, so I sent it back.

Most Logitech mouses these days have two scroll options, smooth and toothed. The scroll button changes the setting The smooth scrolling is ideal at night when each click sounds like a gunshot.

I was just looking to order the Logitech keyboard for the Note Pro 12.2 and stumbled upon these two-
http://www.amazon.com/NEWSTYLE-Sams...ubst_pc_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=0XGC69TMKWY9KT0R7QK9
http://www.amazon.com/Ionic-Bluetoo...ubst_pc_5?ie=UTF8&refRID=0XGC69TMKWY9KT0R7QK9
It's a fraction the price of the Logitech. I was sure I was going to get the Logitech instead of the Zagg but now I think I should wait to see what other lower cost options exist.

I've had keyboards like that for other tablets and they worked ok for how little I used them. I had one that had issues pairing but that could have been the rom I was running at that time.....If you're going to be doing a LOT of typing then I'd invest in something better. But if you're just going to type once a week or every 2 weeks then this should work
THe thing I don't like about these cases, as well as the logitech one, is they are too bulky. One of the reasons I purchased the Note Pro is for how thin it is for it's size...I want to enjoy that aspect while using it.

I was planning on getting a K810 anyway for home computing and that could have been the answer to everything but then I would have no case. Even if I got a different case it would mean carrying the keyboard separately and paying a premium for a case and separate keyboard like the K810. That was why I thought the Logitech Pro with the built in keyboard was the best choice but now I'm stumped again because of the whole K810 option. If I find a really nice case then maybe I wont mind spending $100 on the K810 and another $50 or so on a case.

THIS is the case I bought and it only costs $13....I really like it a lot and for my needs it works quite well. I want to get the Otterbox case to use at work since I am a physical education teacher there's always that chance of something terrible happening to my technology. It adds bulk but for work at least I'll need something good...I have the Otterbox on my Note 2 and love it!! HERE is the screen protectors I am using and they also work quite well.
Even though I already have the ZAGG keyboard case I think I might also get the Samsung one as well. I here it's much better than the ZAGG & more durable...I'm just waiting for it to drop below $70...

Actually, I did shorten the nib as far as I could but it was still way off. It did not even occur to me to cut off the tip of the pen itself. I paid 45 dollars for it, I wanted it to work without looking like it was hacked by a two year old. So, the logical thing to do was to send it back and recover most of what I paid. I will get a Pilot pen and use that as a holder for the original pen like someone suggested in another thread, and I will have saved myself 40 dollars.

Did you read the specific post? Because I am fundamentally opposed to cutting bits off a Wacom pen. I was describing the steps for the official method of adjusting the sensitivity and the offset...

Oh, you meant adjusting the potentiometer? I've tried that too, before cutting the nib, in fact, but I wasn't satisfied with the results. I used it with Note 10.1, maybe it works better on 12.2, but I didn't like it well enough to give it another try. The original pen still works best in my opinion and the Bamboo is not worth the expense.

Just curious to anyone who has this bag, how much room is left in the bag after the tablet is in it? Will it fit the tablet, with a keyboard case, a BT mouse, charger(s), and maybe a handful of odds and ends like a few file folders, pens/pencils, notebook, deck of Yugioh cards, etc.
How tight does it fit in the bag? It says it's for a 11.6" tablet, is the 12.2" Note Pro a tight fit?
