Thought I'd post this, as I just found them and didn't see it posted elsewhere.
http://www.amzer.com/Amzer-Rubberized-Clear-Snap-On-Crystal-Hard-Case-P88498.htm
Price isn't fantastic, but they do have better coverage for around the speaker/camera than many of the ones on ebay, best part is there is NO hole for the belt clip almost no one would use anyways.
Available in blue, which looks like a purple, red, which looks pink to me, clear white, and black. Shipping on the 30th.
I had one of those with the hole in the back for the belt clip on my Dash way back when, and hated it, stuff always built up in there.
They're all sold out. Do you know of any other sites that carry it?
Just checked again today, looks like they're back up again! Anybody gotten theirs yet? I've never heard of Amzer, looks like they produce cases for all sorts of phones, has anyone had any prior experience with their stuff before?
Thanks for the heads-up. Personally, I'm staying away from this. Last time I had the snap-on type cover, dust/dirt particles always managed to get in between the phone and the cover, and mar up the finish (was very surprised to see tiny indentations from dust particles... wouldn't such a thing require outside pressure?).
Any good silicone covers?

I ordered a red one, and will do a full unbiased review when it shows up.
Honestly, if it's PINK in person, I'm giving it to my wife.
LOL
Anyways, I've had a few like this before, I think Amzer is just a manufacturer of the items and usually sell them under other names via wholesellers.
I had one made by them for my old Dash, and it was beautiful. Metalic red, and rubber coated. How they did it, no idea.
I'll post a thread for Sedioonline soon, as that's the one I really want, and will need help getting it done. The Innocase/Holster combo is the best setup I've had.
So has anyone received theirs yet?
ive had my red one for a couple days now and i must say the color is unbelievable! its a deep dark read and then it has like a felt kind of feel to it. its really nice and it really doesnt make the phone look fat like other cases do. and the rubber makes it very nice and comfy and it stays in the hand nicely.
edit: dirt does get in between the case and the phone after a couple days and it does stratch the finish of the phone owe well gonna stick with it i love the color to much

Think you can snap a few shots of it? Open and Close, and where the scratches are happing?
Im also interested to see how the case looks in real life. Photos would be great.
Do not order from amzer terrible company
AMZER IS THE WORST COMPANY I HAVE EVER DELT WITH I HARDLEY EVER COMPLAIN, BUT WHEN THEY SELL ITEMS THAT SAY IN STOCK AND WHEN YOU CALL THEY SAY OUT OF STOCK AFTER YOU ALREADY PAID . I THINK THAT IS BAD. I HAVE BEEN CALLING FOR 5 BUSINESS DAYS NOW AND EACH TIME IT IS GOING TO BE SHIPPED TOMORROW. SO I ORDERED ON MONDAY OF LAST WEEK AND STILL IT WILL BE SHIPPED TOMORROW TUESDAY OF THE FOLLOWING WEEK. I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED IF IT DOES SHIP OR I HAVE TO KEEP PLAYING THE GAME. ITS ONLY 12 BUCKS AND IT SEEMS LIKE A NICE CASE SO I CAN WAIT BUT I WILL KEEP CALLING THEM ON A DAILY BASIS(BECAUSE I HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO WITH MY TIME RIGHT NOW). BUT JUST BE WARNED THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS AND EVEN IF IT SAYS ITS IN STOCK ITS PROBABLY NOT. AND YOU WILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR A SHIPMENT THAT SUPPOSIDLY COMES TOMORROW. LOL,
Yeah after doing some searching, Ive heard some bad things about Amzer.
I think Ill just wait and see if Otter-Box ends up making a case.
reviews dont lie, this company blows. do not buy
i just cancelled my order today because again my order will ship tomorrow. they are annoyying how much they do not care about the customer. it really steams my noodle. they are trying to run a business and they are doing a terrible job of it.wait til next month the cases are suppost to start comming out in full force. screw amzer and there damm case. i will never do business with amzer again and strongly recomend you dont , and tell everyone you know not to either. unless your up for the round about they have prepared for you. they lie and so does there website. and they will just keep telling you tomorrow so they dont have to help you today.
Yep I just canceled my order with them I placed it on the 22nd and still nothing. I paid with paypal so I also filed a non delivered complaint with them just incase they try to stiff me with there so called handling fee of $5.
I'm about to do the same damned thing, as I keep getting the same crap.
Sorry guys, I thought I found something good. I'm getting pissed that none of these are out there yet. I'm starting a new thread, please help contact this company to get these made for us.
SO I emailed them and asked if my item had actually shipped, since several days ago they told me that...
"Your item will arrived today"
And...
"Will shipped today to you"
And they told me they were processing a refund for me now because of my emails.
I Just bought this case from Staples the 13 inch was $20 on sale (mine doesn't have an Apple on it ) Came in Pink or Black.

Love it! I don't have the keyboard yet but I tried my husbands netbook and it seems like it should fit.
Thought I would share that I love it.
These cases that claim to be shock proof or make things unbreakable always make me laugh. They may stop visible damage but the internals will still be subject to a few G's when dropped, and connections might be loosened. Some protection is always welcome of course for that 'just in case' scenario, so a case is always recommended for transporting it.
But sods law states that it will be dropped when it's not in a case and it will shatter into a hundred pieces anyway. At least I bet, now that I've written this, it'll happen to me.
Having said that however the case you mention looks quite nice.

Did you find it in-store at Staples or did you order online? I'd like to take a look at my local Staples if so.....Cheap enough that I might give it a try...
I bought an "Incase" 10.5" case at Target that I really like...good cushioning, but probably not "shock proof"....
Yes I found it in the Staples Store at mine it was on an end cap. Very thick why thicker than a few that my husband has tried. I am not going to be dropping it down the stairs hopefully but for little drops I am sure it will help.
How come you bought the 13" one? doesn't the 10" one fit the TF?

You know I think I am wrong. The sign had said they only had 13inch and 15inch but now I looked and it says IPAD case so I was going to measure and I can't find a darn ruler or anything but I guess it would either have to be the Ipad case or the 10 inch because it just fits...snuggly but my husbands 10inch Asus Netbook fits int there also. So when he gets home and I can measure I will. I think though I might go get the 13inch this way I can fit the cord on the side also.
This case would be great:

If they will make a TF fitting version of it?
Curious if anyone else has issues with the docks?
My first, a champagne from Newegg had a bad ripple and dent on the mousepad. I returned for RMA (they had some in stock when I returned it but would not hold), and of course they refunded my money as they sold out and I lost out in all shipping to and from. Thanks Egg!
My second from Best Buy also has a 1.5" ripple in it. Now I have had over 50 laptops in my life, multiple tablets and keyboards/docks (even 101) and none had this issue. Is this Asus rushing out their products at the expense of quality control?
Anyone else?
I would post a pic to assist others but this forum forbids pretty much everything unless I have enough post. Sorry
nope. nothing but positive stuff to say about the prime and dock here bro.
Good to hear, perhaps as they say about the 3rd time.....
Nothing wrong with my dock either. BC Prime and C1 dock, working great, both from Newegg.
The trackpad on mine is kind of wavy.. But you only really notice it held at the perfect angle with the light shining off of it. Otherwise, works just fine and don't notice it in use. Not worth shipping back to tiger direct.

I'm thinking most of them are 'wavy' just that most folks are not bothered or find it worth returning. That probably describes my 2nd one. My first was really bad.
Mines perfect also.
I ordered mine from Wal-Mart. Arrived 100% perfect!
Mines working perfectly
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201
Mine is working perfectly too!!! I got mine at BestBuy.
I dont quite know what you mean by ripple, do you mean that theyre warped?
I brought two, both perfect. touchpad and all
OK, well I was a bit apprehensive after looking at my buddies grey dock (which is his second after he returned his first for separating) and his new one had a little 'dent' and wave. Not as bad as my prior 2 but still....4 not so perfect units. However, today I received my champagne from Tiger Direct and it is PERFECT! Stuck my 64gb card in it and now charging. So far no issues.
I just wish someone would build a quality case for them now.
Good dock
Received mine from Office Depot last week. No problems whatsoever.
No problems here.. build feel pretty solid.
Bad Dock Hinge
The left lock on my hinge wouldn't close completely, so my tablet was always a little wobbly and never perfectly settled.
Asus has it right now and is sending to Taiwan for a new hinge.
Thing is, this was the ONLY problem with it, and I've heard so much about Transformers with issues that I'm afraid to get them to send me a new one.
Thinking of RMA'ing my dock
The mouse button has always clicked and the back seems to be coming apart. It seems like a screw is loose screw but I can't see anything obvious.
Asus Support are hinting at customer damage which makes me a little reluctant to send back but my Prime has been wrapped in cotton wool since purchasing.

My buddy described the same on his first dock, he returned it and received a good one albeit the mouse pad issues.
Well, the metal at the front of mine just below the touchpad has turned to ****.
its all warped and messed up now, and I treat my touchpad insanely well, seems to be the rubber causing the dock to warp thanks to how thin it is >_>
Also on top of that I started to notice the keyboard was marking the glass, so I now have to keep a cloth between the two.
Luckily mines not falling apart at the back but I do need to find a way to correct the front warp if possible
I finally got mine from BB yesterday but mine also has 2 indentions in the click portion of the trackpad. I thought it might be just like left click, right click indentions but they aren't symmetrical so it's definitely not supposed to be there. The keyboard is also marking the screen. It took so long to find the dock ><
Nope, mine if fine. Ordered from Newegg and came in sealed and perfect. They even gave me a free shirt
If you have or found a good case, post it here.
I bought the official case from TMO. It's a little pricey but provides excellent protection. As a matter of fact, the faucet in my bathroom leaks and I left my tablet on the counter one night. I woke the next morning and my tablet was sitting in a puddle of water that extended halfway up the case. Took the case off, wiped everything down, and plugged it back in. Worked fine. Even the liquid indicator was still white.

Ditto on the TMO case.. seems $20 too high, but honestly a pretty good hunk of hardware for your tablet. I will have one spare once I have my tablet mounted into my car dash..

Another vote for the TMo case and you are right about the price but you can buy it off Ebay for about $20 less unless you are like me and want it right now.
Can anyone pls post a picture/link to this TMo case?
Would like to know how it looks, whats the price and where to get it.. thanks

The brand is Incipio and I purchased mine from a TMo store for like $50. I had seen the same one on Ebay for half the price but I didn't want to wait. I checked Ebay and the case is no longer listed. I also looked on the Incipio web site and they don't even list it. I don't have a picture but the case is black and the tablet kind of snaps down into the bottom part of the case. You can open the case(it is held closed with an elastic strap) and you have three positions that the tablet can be set into. They range from a fairly good tilt to darn near upright. I have found the case to be quite nice and it really doesn't add much to the overall size. Hope this helps.

Pictures attached.
On the second picture, you can see bubbles in the microfiber. That's the glue separating because I got it wet.
I bought on ebay a smart cover like this from the auction 170821966479. It's thin, good protection and a good stand. I am very happy with it.
The TMO case is so popular in the US, but outside there are two options: universal 7 inch case or a not so bad case designed for the media pad. Search for t-mobile springboard case on ebay.
I bought a cheap-o case off eBay for $16. Listing was questionable as the sellers account was terminated the day after I bought it. I still got the case this morning after 3 weeks though. 2 problems with it. It's a little too thing for the springboard, so the outside edge around the display doesn't quit fold over all the way and sticks up. Secondly, the hole for the front facing camera is slightly off and the camera just barely peeks out from it.
Might not stick with the case though. Without the case I've always been able to stick it in my back pocket (slacks or jeans) and walk around with it to a few places, lunch breaks, dog walks, etc. With the case its a no go.

Yes, I have also found this one on eBay. I have ordered it (the same colour like lilaliend). But it never arrived (I got my money back). Fortunatelly!!
After the first attempt with eBay, I have decided to invest a bit more money and ordered a leather case from PDair:
qqq.pdair.com/index.php/ebook-reader-tablet/huawei/huawei-mediapad/leather-case-for-huawei-mediapad-book-type-black.htmk
(in the URL please replace qqq with www and htmk with html)
You can buy it directly from PDair for $80. This is quite a lot of money. But PDair's reseller for Middle East sells the same case ("book type") for $60:
tbeyond.com/leather-case-for-huawei-mediapad-book-type-black-p-14363.htmk
(in the URL please replace htmk with html)
Free Worldwide Shipping. Even though the reseller is based in United Arab Emirates, the case came from Hong Kong. Delivery to Germany was without any problems.
My experience with the case from PDair: The case is simply excellent. I highly recommend it. It is worth the money:
PROS:
- durable black leather
- magnets! It closes with magnets
- the tablet fits nicely into the case (in contrast to the cheap case from eBay - see post from lilaliend)
- all holes (front and rear cameras, USB and HDMI ports, charger) are precisely where they should be
CONS:
- the case is rather thick. They use multiple layers of leather (you can see it on the pictures on the PDair website). So the tablet is really well protected. But with the case you can not put the tablet into your back pocket...
TMobile Incipio case for Springboard has dropped in price
If you were to shop for it now on the TMobile site the Incipio case is now $29. That's about $15 to maybe $20 cheaper than when I bought it earlier in the year. ARGH!
I do love my case though. The only thing that's bad is when you are in portrait mode and the front cover doesn't sit nicely back when holding it in that position.
Marware Jurni
I wanted a case that had a zippered closure, for added protection. I had this case from when I had purchased the Kindle Fire. But I decided to see if it would fit the Springpad. It does, with a bit of sanding or cutting.
This is an option if you are willing to sand down or cut two nibs from the top two clips. Each clip has two nibs, the one you want to sand down or cut is the one on the right for each clip. I have attached some pictures so you can see the zippered case and the two clips above, and a close up of the cut. Mine is a bit sloppy, but hey, I'm not complaining. See pictures.

Great... I am happy with my incipio but I got this off ebay because it would be nice to prop it in portrait mode. I guess I could report how well it does when it comes.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brown-Magic...7-SLIM-MediaPad-SPRINGBOARD?item=270998785548
this is my combo "temporary" case and universal stand. :laugh:
still looking for a folio-type case and I just got news that the local distributor here already has stocks and giving it for free for new buyers of MediaPad. :silly:
I wanted a case that protects the corners, could prop up the MediaPad in landscape and (!) did not cover the front (like some cases that cover the bezel around the display).
Turns out that this case for the Lenovo Ideapad A1 fits just fine. Only the hole for the camera is in the wrong place, but I don't use the Pad's camera anyway. Nice sleek design. Reeks of plastic/glue the first few days, but the smell wears off quickly and then you have a smart-looking case for your MediaPad.
Apparently this case comes with different names around the globe. Have a look at the pictures and see what's available in your country.
Hi
I'm using the EasyAcc Case for nearly a year now.
It fits great, exept the hole for the frontcamera could be a milimeter bigger.
I do not know, in it is available outside Germany.

I just got a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 and I've had good luck with Skinomi skins on other devices so I went shopping. I was about to buy off their site when I found them on sale at Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Skinomi-TechSkin-Protector-Lifetime-Warranty/dp/B007US84S0/
At 95 cents I thought it was a typo and they'd cancel the order. It came in the mail Saturday. Full kit with the tube, the solution, the cloth, and the little rubber wedge. It has the holes for the camera and the light sensor. I have not put it on yet, but it looks like all the other Skinomi skins I've put in.
If you haven't used these they are GREAT (and I don't work for Skinomi). These are the kind you put on wet. You can't use your device for a day or so after you put it on and it will look TERRIBLE at first. But after all the water dries out it is totally invisible unless you find an edge. If you get a little ding in it, the ding will heal itself over time unless the ding is white. If you have a white ding, they will send you another one and you have to return the one you take off. As long as you return them (after you get the new one) they will do this indefinitely (lifetime warranty). I've had one on my phone and gTablet for 2 years and never had to use the warranty.
No idea how they can be on sale for this price, but thought someone might be interested.
Sounds like a nice screen protector. Never had a nice one like that so I've always disliked them. Maybe that one would change my mind.
I want to order one of the carbon fiber skinimi kits that comes with everything. That's going to rock.
Im guessing it was a typo, I just checked and they are $15.95.
Although I think I'd still buy it at that price - it sounds good :fingers-crossed:

Well, I picked up 2 at that price on the theory that it was cheaper than getting a 2nd kit under warranty! I don't know if it was a sale or a mistake but they did honor the price.
