I have one right now... but it's a cheap one from Ebay. When I first bought it, it fit real nice and tight but now over a month or two it's getting loose and slides around a bit.
Anyone have any suggestions? I'm looking for the following:
1. It doesn't expose the metal part of the camera on the back cover.
2. Fits snug on the phone indefinitely (is this possible?).
... and if possible one that isn't really sticky.
Thanks!
Silicon case!
I was bought one silicon case on HTC STORE http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=176956 and is great. Cost 20$.
hi, i have a clear one of these, think i would buy the grey next time. its also a cheap ebay item. its very snug, not as flexible (which makes removal a bit of an effort) and nowhere near as sticky as some silicon cases.

hope this helps
Yeah i bought one of those that bl1nky recommended. The only thing i can say is that the fit around the bezel edge is not as good as other 'softer' silicon covers.
In my case particularly, the right hand edge is badly formed and seems to pull away from the HD bezel.
In addition i find that locating and using the power switch to be troublesome and it's this that i find most annoying.
My personal quest for the perfect case continues....
Thanks for the suggestions... I'm also in the search of a perfect case. You wouldn't think it would be this hard!
I am using this from boxwave. The fit is nice and not sticky. I went with the clear one.

They look the same from what I can tell in the pictures... but you never know on Ebay it could be a cheaper knock-off of the original. I don't know because I haven't purchased the one from Ebay. I will be getting mine today or tomorrow from Boxwave and I'll take some pics of it and stuff and update here.
Is it the non-transparent one with small camera hole? (I'm in the boarding shcool where ebay is locked) If so, it's good, but rather thick, good for protection, but will make your HD thicker (around 16mm). If not, just remove this post.

Ok so I got the case and have been using it for two days now. It is pretty damn nice actually. It fits well, not too tight and not too loose either. It's not sticky like the cheap Ebay one I have so I can easily slide it in and out of my pocket. I got the smoke color. It's clear and shiny so it suits the HD well. I like being able to see the phone through the case as well.
can try this silicon case from Capdase
CW any pics mate ??
i got the silicon case from ebay and its not a tight fit.come off very easily. am now on the hunt for another case. there is a case for the iphone which is a plastic case but a rubberised finish.

I have a crappy digicam but here are some. Sorry for the blur It doesn't like to focus up close...
cheers CW looks good, next question, do you use a car holder of any sorts ?
If so hows the fit ?
Im reading here about many cqses but I just cant find the best. I need a case that lets every port open, looks nice , has multyangles and that it doesnt cost a lot. I need it as soon as posible becuse my tablet is hlme and its really hard to hold it for 3 hours in my hands Thank you.

Still wanting on a general consensus as well...I guess the "official case isn't getting good reviews...
Thank you all on your suggestions -.-. Anyway I think I will go fora microfibre case from amazon.
Here's a nice leather one for $19.95
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110709890057&hlp=false
IMO - Check out the rooCASE on Amazon if you want a multi-angle style. From what I can tell, it is the "Best" in terms of quality. There are a few other multi-angle cases out there such as what you find on eBay but they do not appear to be made as well. JMO but the ACase for example just looks really cheap in comparison.
I've ordered the roo case as well but it's taking foooooooorever to get here.
I think you might like this one. It has a lot of space, and it can actually detach if you don't want to hold on to the whole case while using it. This company gave me a free stylus since I ordered one of their cases. I love the black but if you want another color, then I think they have a brown too.
Hope this helps.

How do you like the Amazon case you linked to? I have been considering that exact one. What is your opinion? How sturdy is it? Is the rotary/detach option really useful? Debating between this an a standard leather case because seems more durable/protective but doesn't offer rotary feature or detaching case...
Thanks.

Thanks for that recommendation. Looks like it kinda gives you a tablet sleeve too, built in.
I don't use portrait mode very much, but the ability to detach is a huge plus. Is it possible to fold the flap all the way back, so you have the case still attached, but use the tablet as a handheld?
From the picture, it looks like it attaches to the case via a button...is that secure? I've seen others that use two velcro disks...those seem more secure.
I just purchased that one last night. I'll come back and share my thoughts once I receive it around early next week.
Edit: I got the brown one
is it keyboard-compatible like the other tuff luv cases? how much did you pay for it, where did you get it? does it come with a screen protector?

I dont have the case but I strongly assume that if you buy the keyboard-compatible hemp one its made on exactly the same lines as the Pu and real leather ones. Why shouldnt it fit?? And as tuffluv doesnt really have resellers there is only one price, although if you almost go through to the end with the buy and then close the window (having entered your email address somewhere) tuffluv usually sends you a 10% code after about 2 hours to get you to buy the case.
hi
I ordered one yesterday.. will post a couple of pictures for you when I receive also review. There is a thread started earlier if you want to look. A couple of people have received the hemp case saying it was very good. I ordered mine via quidco any got 10% cash back. Wish I had known about a possible 10% code.
I bought a cheapish plastic case from ebay already. Hoping this hemp case will be worth the extra cash.....
Mine should be on the way as well... Will try to post back once I've spent a few days with it.
where did you guys buy it from? the tuffluvusa website doesn't seem to have it, and if i were to buy, i would like to do that coupon trick...
they're just a bit too expensive it seems.

There's a good review of the "veggie leather" one on transformerforums: http://www.transformerforums.com/forum/asus-transformer-accessories/2508-review-book-style-keyboard-case-asus-eee-transformer-3.html
Please delete - unintentionally posted same info in post #3
I bought one. They are very well made and cleverly designed to work with or without the keyboard. In the end, however, I sent mine back as it added too much bulk and made the whole thing quite heavy. Perfect if you're not bothered about that. Certainly seemed to provide a lot of protection.

I have one as well--Hemp/chocolate. Full tab and keyboard case.
I agree that it adds some bulk and weight when the tab is docked to the keyboard and the whole case is on. I don't mind it though, because it does add a lot of protection. Also, with just the tab and its case, it's not too heavy, and makes it easier to hold for extended periods.
Overall the build quality of the case is incredible--you definitely get your money's worth here, even though it's rather expensive. The materials are very good, the stitching is excellent, and everything lines up and works exactly as it should. I wouldn't hesitate to buy the case unless you're looking for something slim and trim.
Forgot to add--you can dock the keyboard to the tab and leave off the keyboard case if you want to reduce bulk--the regular tab case will close over it and mostly protect it while closed.

Do you mind posting some pictures? I would love some that give a closer look at the hemp material.
The only sticking point on the design of this case is that stand on the back. I've never really been a fan of those. Can you take a picture of the hinge for the stand? I wonder how hard it would be to take it off... Yes I understand that would leave the snaps bare, but I think I have a work around for that.
+1 on the pics
mind doing some without the keyboard case? it does look a bit chunky without it. i figured if i get the non-keyboard version, i'd save some money, and keep the device fairly slim.
I'm actually in the other camp. I think that it will be fine without the keyboard case, but am more interested in some pics with it. If anyone can take a few minutes to just post images (with and without the kb case) that would be great. No need for another full review since I assume the build quality is as solid as other users have claimed.
still interested in pictures?

Yes please. Just need to decide between the Leather or Hemp. I'd like to save the loot if the Hemp one looks nice. Your opinion of the material would also be appreciated.
here are some photos
Enjoy the pictures. Let me know if you want specific photos
The material feels very nice. And it feels very well protected in the case. But it does put on some weight and size. Acceptable to me but could turn off others.
It also looks very nice.

Can you post pics of the stand and how it stay closed? THX
The stand is attached with snaps. This allows the keyboard add on to snap in between the stand flap and the back cover.
I would love one picture of the left indide cover. From the first image, it appears that the flap and other pieces are black. Is that leather or fake leather or something else?
I'm pretty much sold on this and will order mine tonight. Thank you VERY MUCH for the extra images.
I find the smart cover case of my iPad 2 is ideal for typing in "landscape keyboard" mode. I haven't found any cases on eBay etc that do this except some really bulky/fugly ones. Has anyone found anything elegant/thin along the lines of the iPad 2 smart cover yet? I realize the GT7.7 doesn't have the logic to turn off when the cover is closed, I can live without that!
The original Samsung OEM case/cover looks very nice but doesn't seem to stand on its own in landscape keyboard mode

As long as the surface is not overly smooth, the Samsung Original Book Cover case does stand in landscape (thanks to rubber strips that adds friction). See pics. May not *look* especially stable, but it does seem to hold out nicely.
Ironically, I would like to see a case that allows my tab to stand in portrait mode, since I'm more likely to read that way. Never seen one before.
I have a case similar to the official iPad1 case. Very slim and snug fit. Doesn't add much to the size of the device, keeping the original slimness. Its faux leather on the outside and suede cloth inside. It has the same standing mechanism as the iPad1 case too. Comes in a few colours, I got the brown one.
I've been looking for exactly this type of case and was amazed they are made. I believe I can post images now and so I'll put some up later.

A similar one popped up on eBay last night for $25. Seller is in HK of course. What site did you find this on?
Tmall.com taobao.com
chinese webiste
that one cost RMB120
I found it at http://www.minihotsale.com/rock-sam...blet-light-cool-folio-leather-case_p1435.html
$35 shipped, not terrible. I like that it doesn't intrude on the bezel the way some of the other folios do.
Thanks cyuet for pointing me in the right direction! Will advise once received.
looks good

Thats the one. I personally prefer cases that give all round protection and this case does that. I find cases that only grip the corners can come loose over time, and badly made ones have terrible tolerances and may not even adequetly hold the device.
Thanks

I also think that a case like the smart cover for the ipad2 is ideal for the tab 7.7. I have seen those for the 10.1 and 8.9 on ebay, and I am pretty sure they will pop up for the 7.7 soon.
Nothing from Zenus or SGP yet?

UK based case for £8.99
I just received this case i bought from ebay for the bargain price of £8.99 in the UK and delivered from the UK too.
Very pleased with it! I've tried the official case but this is much better. It even has magnets on the flap to stop it flapping open when carrying.

That's basically exactly the same as the one I posted above except my link is cheaper and located in the UK (minus the screen protector but they are pence anyway)
The one I ordered also has better protection at the bottom
Case from eBay
I snagged this one as it closely resembles the one I really like for my GTab 7+. Will post up pictures when I get it.
Yesterday i got my $11 bookcase cover for my beloved 7.7, it fits the tab nicely and it has a "built in" stand so that you can use the tablet as for example a mediaplayer. Only downside, that I can see now with this type of stand, is that you need to have the tablet wrong way around (connector to the left, instead of right) when you want to use it as a type-stand, but thats not a big deal for me atleast.
The inside of the lid and backside are dressed in thin felt to not scratch the tab.
the plastic seems alittle thinner than on similar cases and that way you have a smaller risk getting the flash to reflect in the plastic when taking pictures.
It was quite cheap compared to the OEM bookcase covers that are out there, as I didnt "buy it now", the delivery was 5 workingdays from Hong Kong to Sweden.
I dont think i have ever gotten something from Hong Kong to Sweden that fast
So how do you like it? Would you reccomend it? How is the stand, does it feel like it will break or something?
I've been looking for something like this and I really like the look of this.. and the OEM ones are soooo expensive, as you say..

I am happy with it, and the stand seems sturdy enough.
And I would recomend it, remember to check out the rest of the colours also
Nice case, i have orderd one thx för the pic
GT-P6800 via Tapatalk 2
I purchased one of these and thought it was pretty good value. It looks nice on the tab (I had an orange one) and I didn't have any of the fit problems that others reported in the other thread. The stand worked great for my needs and the material it's made out of has a really nice feel to it too.
I did have a couple of minor gripes though.
1) There's nothing to keep the cover closed. Not a big deal if you just want the screen protected while it's in a bag or whatever.
2) The panel forms the bottom most part of the stand was always picking up dirt from whatever I set it down on and then carrying it back on to the screen when I closed it. I started to notice tiny abrasions on my screen protector from it.
I've since switched to a different case but still think this one was pretty good for the money.
