I'm looking for a case to fit the original Transformer Pad TF 101 and they want to know how similar the Prime is to this because there are a lot more cases available for the prime than the original and if the prime case fit the original i want to do that because its just for a 4 year old
11 in the prime are completely different city of 101. The prime better than if you wanna 1 also the camper place and button placement are different.

Nice thread.

I recently got this tablet, and purchased a leather type of case (the kind you can fold back to prop it up...here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/CaseCrown-Bold-Standby-Case-Asus-Transformer-Pad-BK-/180690088957?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item2a11f7f3fd)...
and now I am thinking that I may like something else better like perhaps a sleeve or a carrying case of some sort, but I do not want anything big or bulky because I picture that I will put it inside of my backpack anyways....
for example, I was currently thinking of one of these, or a variation of...

I figured the extra pouches can serve as a spot to hold the charger and whatever else accessories I happen to have at the time..
Please give me your opinions and recommendations, I am open to all..
I am also considering the sleeve, I simply want something cheap to protect the device some when I put it inside a suitcase/backpack. Wonder if anyone used these?
I use the Case Logic VNA214 14.1 inch attache, and the AYL Leather Cover Case Folio for Asus Eee Pad Transformer from Amazon.com.
(sorry there are no links, I haven't posted enough yet)
The bag is perfect, holds everything i need with the TF: Bluetooth mouse, charger for TF, charger for phone. Keyboard dock (even when not in use), head phones, notebooks, etc. Main thing I like about the case is that it let's the transformer sit a tad higher so it can use the charger while standing up.
Hope this helps!

My I ask why you bought the VNA214 instead of the VN210 (10 inch) ?
Is VNA214 (14 inch) not to big for it ?
I just ordered a Sling-bag and a sleeve for under $20 USD shipped

I wanted a bigger bag. But the reviews I read on the 10 say the 10 fits the TF just fine. And the 14 fits with room to spare, without seeming to big. I didn't want the 10 because I felt it would be too small for everything I wanted to carry with me, and I felt it might appear as a man purse, which is definitely not my thing! But it would work, I am sure, for a sleeve type replacement.

I'm waiting for the Prime to be released locally before I decide if I want to upgrade from my Transformer, but one important point is the compatibility with the old dock.
I understand that the TF101 is too thick for the new dock, but if the attachment ports and the 40in port at at the same place, the old dock ought to work, unless it's blocked from doing so by software. Anyone with both an old dock and a Prime can chime in?
I don't have the dock, but I thought I read somewhere that the attachment ports were slightly different (in size and/or location) so it would not work. I can't confirm though....So I guess I really didn't help at all. Forget I said anything.
Yes. It doesn't work.
What about TF101 cases will they work on the TF201? I saw a leather case at BB for the TF101 and it looks pretty nice compared to the cases that are out for the TF201, I was thinking of getting it and trying it out and then just returning it if it does not fit.
The TF201 is thinner than the TF101. So if a case made specifically for the TF101, it will fit the TF201, but it will not be snug as a bug in a rug.
Put a pad behind the tablet, to make it snug.
But, ports are in diferent locations, so cutouts won't be right
Am just wonder if each dock matches each model or all the docks are universal cause all the TF have the same form factor and designs.

each tablet has a matching model dock. there is no universal dock. all devices are slightly different in dimensions. only by the dock that matches your model tablet. ex. prime aka tf201 only should use a dock made for tf201

ah, ok reason i ask is cause best buy had TF101 dock on sale was wondering if i should waste my time and buy one to see if it works i guess its all program in the dock then, sucks wish there was a universal one
there have been reports the 201 can fit in the 301 dock but its a loose fit (so if you have screen protectors AND a protector over the back it might be a good fit), the 300 MAY fit in the 201 dock but it would be very tight (as the 300 is slightly thicker)
The mech in the 101 and 201 is different, unless you opened the dock and removed the locking mech theres no way to get the 201 to fit in the 101 dock. period.
This whole "issue" with the dock not fitting universally is perfect proof that you can't please everyone. If asus made the dimensions of every transformer model the same, then people would cry bloody murder. If asus made improvements in the design by making the later models differently dimension wise, then people would ***** to no avail at how they can't use the old dock on the new tablet.
On another forum, one guy even went as far as saying he will never buy anything asus ever again because he couldn't fit his prime in the tf101 dock and he thought this was a design flaw.
well the 300 could probably fit in the 200 dock if you removed the felt padding... thats what i had to do for my prime because of the screen protector and back protector i have, it does not have the cutouts on it.
And the prime can fit in the 300 dock, its just loose.
Overall Asus DID keep similar sizes however the plastic has to be thicker for structural reasons otherwise the tablet would warp too badly. And the 201 is rediculiously thin as it is, at least they are keeping the dock connector the same so accessories should work across the board.
Anyone try a GPS dongle in a 300 yet?

likely wont work because it doesn't have the software on the 300 to support it. plus the dongle is a tighter fit than 201 dock. probably wont fit unless you mash it in there. might crush the glass since it'll be so tight.
Does the origami-like Smart Cover from Asus for the Transformer Prime works/fits on the Transformer 300? The dimensions of the two tablets are almost the same, so I think it will work... Can anyone confirm this?
interesting cover never seen it before. seem out of stock at amazon and others. do they still make it anymore?

I buyed one on Amazon Germany...
The smart cover fit on the screen an you can put it in the Dock connectors on the Tablet, but it doesnt hold solid on the right Dock connector, so its very easy to pull the cover out of the Connectors. On a Youtube Video with the Transformer prime the Guy hold the Smart Cover and the Tablet hangs on this. With the one i had, the tablet falls down.
In don't know if the Problem was on the Smart Cover or the connectors on the Tablet.
Anybody using this? I seen it at my local Office Depot, and it did fit the TF300T, but I wasn't quite sure about using it until I seen some reviews.
I purchased the cover only to return it. Only 1 hinge would stay connected as mentioned in other posts. I returned it and am now waiting for a new case I purchased on Amazon.

Can't copy a web browser but eBay tf300 360 and see what you think. I don't care for the 360 feature but I like how these have no tabs that require constant popping in and out. Too bad they aren't on amazon so I can see reviews. Post if you've tried one, where you got it, if you liked it, etc. Thanks.
Anyone?
Looks just like the other ones on amazon like the moko and poetic ones that rotate. What's the differences?

No reviews on those either. I'd like to hear from someone that has one.

Hi, just ordered today 360° Rotating Case for Asus Transformer Pad TF300 TF300T Tablet + Stylus E37X ( 221047606532 ) on Ebay...
When received, must be shipped from Hong Kong to the Netherlands... so will be here in some weeks :angel:
When received, i'll put some experiences here :good:
I have this case on my tf300. It does make the tablet bulkier, but i like the fact i can have it rotate 360. The quality is alright, i guess standard fake leather. I can use the dock with it, i just need to fold the cover all the way.

Can't post an outside link but Amazon has a Moko 360 made for the TF300.
I bought this case same time as the TF300. Cutouts are all there and in the right place. Really holds the tablet inside so there's slim/zero chance of it slipping out. Well built, sturdy, top-heavy when the tablet is at highest angle portrait but I'd never use it that way. 3 detents to hold at three angles could be a little more pronounced but they do the job.
If I buy another tablet I would look for this case for it.
Same here. Just received, TF300T fits perfectly...
