No, the gTab is a little bigger and thicker than the iPad. The guys that are in charge of the custom cases may be getting them in this week so the wait may not be as long as you think. You may want to send one of them a PM asking about it.
With that said, there is a really nice case that looks "classy" and professional I am using for "everyday" use. It holds my tablet nice and snug. It was made for the Kindle DX from a company called CaseCrown.
Here's the thread.

ive been looking around here and amazon trying to find a thin(and i mean as thin as possible) case for my TF. I see these roocase and same ones from a different name but they still seem too bulky for my taste. Curious if anyone else has seen something.
Not worried about material used or drop protection.
I use the sikai case since 2 weeks and I am very happy! It 's thin , but I don 't know if their are thinner cases!
The ASUS one is the thinnest I have been using. I think its basically the same or only a MM thinner than the sikai but its more money and I dont know if it can be built much better.

Where did you get the Sikai case?
Its from eBay and posted in other links. I have it myself and I can confirm that its very very good. No docking while its on though.

I'm on a quest for something of the same design as the sikai or the official asus case, but allows for docking....
The strange thing is that the official Acer iconia case is pretty much the same design, but is open at the bottom, but it stays in the case fine because it's such a tight fit. Hilariously enough, the Transformer, which actually has a keyboard dock, is closed at the bottom and so doesn't allow for docking.
Surely it's not that hard to do this?
Thinnest: Asus official.
Sexiest: Roocase Slim-Fit.
which one is the slim fit?

I agree.
Asus Official cast is crazy expensive for what it is.
The Roocase Slim-Fit can be found under different maker is even less money. I just ordered one under the brand poetic (I think) for a about 20 bucks.

Hi, is the rooCASE Ultra Slim a magnetic closer? Thanks for the help.
Do the magnets cause any problems for the pad?

Thanks! I order mine yesterday, hope I get it soon! ^_^
thanks for the link. that does look right up my alley. Kind of wished it had a pouch for a cleaning cloth too but meh. Had to order a new bag for work so ill see how it fits and base my choice off that.
looks magnetic. i see no straps or "snaps". Compass interference is important too.
Hoepfully the compass thing will be a non-issue in the next update. I am currently on the ASUS case with velcro but I previously had a magnetic case that my girlfriend is now using and it never caused a compass issue until the 3.2 update. And its obviously the case because the moment I take it out it works fine.
Something changed to really increase the sensitivity of the compass, hopefully they dial it back it bit in the next update. Honestly though, its amazing they have a compass that sensitive in it, Ive got some higher end equipment for camping that doesn't detect that small amount of magnetic interference.
I might order the prime tablet as a gift for someone and looking for good case to go with it, so far i've been able to find this:
ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime 10.1-Inch Tablet Computer Transformer 2nd Generations Cover Hard Cube Case with Shoulder Strap and Attached Pocket ( BLACK - RED ) + Compatible Retractable USB ASUS Transformer Prime Mouse + Compatible ASUS Transformer 2 Earbuds Earphones + VanGoddy Live * Laugh * Love Wrist band
Something which will store the prime keyboard as well as other accessories along with it like the mouse.
Thoughts?
why red color, don't they have more colors to choose from?
I think this is such a cheap china ****. Better order everything from different stores

Case Logic are doing a nicer black case that you can use the prime with keyboard whilst still in the bag / case have a look on the case logic website. Think I will get the case logic one.

I've been looking at the Case Logic ones myself, I like the look of them and they seem well-made.
I also may be getting one from there.
Screw all that... here's what you need to protect your baby:
http://www.amazon.com/iPad-Extreme-...7KSO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323022215&sr=8-1
I bought one of these to carry the Prime, an OG Galaxy Tab that we are getting for work, a notebook and misc junk. I realize it's not a case but it is an alternative to what the OP listed.

They are well made, I have a case logic for my Asus netbook and its very good. Will definitely get case logic for the Asus Prime. It's well protected, has a strap, it does the job and looks good.
these looks better,android case
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150708353...53992&_sacat=See-All-Categories&_fvi=1&_rdc=1
Any one else find anything? More like a leather case that props it up? There's one on Amazon but looks real crappy. I heard the ASUS "Smartcover" sucks big time.

Just a cover (but a smart one):

Bought the bottom one (verteks) so i'll post my opinions when it arrives but I also bought this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006QHW7JS/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details cause it comes with a zip up case + dock + HDMI cable. another version of it comes with everything except the HDMI cable is switched with 3 different colored stylus (or is it styli????).

At that price, I doubt their' quality. Let us know how they feel.
DO NOT get the smart cover, I had it on my first prime and it damages the metal back with dents and scratches. It is form Asus and is poorly designed (go figure), it will fall apart on your 3 times a day and although you can reassemble it, it is very annoying having to do so.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B005HI4FPG
does anyone have this case? from what I can tell, the tab goes one side, the keyboard dock the other and it's a hard shell carry case.
however, nowhere to put your cables.
does anyone know of a similar case to this but with an pouch as well for cables? I know it's a TF101 case, b ut considering the prime is a small item it will fit this case easy.
I am looking at this case as well as I read about the reviews on the office transleeve having all the problems with the tablet and the lack of availability online. From the pictures on amazon it seems that its quite thin to carry around. I read a review somewhere maybe from it official website saying that this can carry a dock with the transformer so i assume this is okay.
i have this case! it fits very well and you dont even have to take the prime out of the dock. also, it is a hard case, so it protects much better against falls etc.
on amazon germany it was available immediately

Thanks for the info! just a quick question, since the tablet is very thin and so once you put the prime into the case does it get really fat or huge to hold with one hand?

of course its thicker, its not a neoprene sleeve. but thats why it protects well and you can still easily carry it with one hand! i really like it. didnt expect much for the price and was pleasantly surprised!
i also ordered a 10'' netbook case from case logic to compare, but the prime has too much room in it and its more of a thin neoprene, so its just scratch-protection...
I bought this hard case:
eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace
Internal dimensions now that I have it in my hand are:
Case: 26.8cm x 19.1cm x 3-4cm
Prime: 26.3cm x 18.1cm x 2cm
As you can see, it's a pretty close fit in theory. Have to wait 5 days before I get my Prime to confirm it's a good fit.
Alternatives to consider
Hey guys,
just like everyone else, looking for a proper case for my prime
since eventually (in the near future) I plan on getting the Dock, i'm looking for a case/sleeve
- looked at all the cased and couldn't find one I liked
- Finally found a case, but haven't had a chance to try it yet
it's the HP VX403AA / VX404AA it's a mini neoprene sleeve for the HP Mini netbook
- price is 32$ as low as I could find it. pricey but nice
- Has 2 smaller pockets on one side and a big one on the other side
- Plenty of storage to keep the charging cable/charger/micro USB with the tablet wherever you go.
- I'll let you know how it fits as soon as I try it, you can find it in local BestBuy's so if any1 is interested in trying it out before I get to it, by all means post your results.
Thank you,
Rodi

It looks like there is a pocket on the inside of the cover.
I ordered this iGadgitz case. Hope to get it next week. I will post some pictures when I have it.
I have recently purchased the envelope neoprene case by built. They sell several different versions but I bought the 9-10" net book version and the transformer prime with dock attached fits like they were made for each other. It also has a front pocket for your charge cables and charger.

This is a great case, my prime and dock lives in it when I'm not using it. It fits snug and feels well protected. There is a mesh Pocket inside which I justuse to keep the screen cloth, but you could easily fit a USB cable in.

I just got the zeroshock III 8.9 (for netbooks). It fits perfectly for the Prime + dock, still fits pretty good for the Prime itself. It has the best padding of any sleeve I have had my hands on.
I'm not taking credit for finding this... I actually saw it first on YouTube.

That's only b/c you haven't seen these:
http://www.youtube.com/user/GFormLLC
This one works well with just the Prime Tablet and/or dock:
http://g-form.com/product/ipad-extreme-sleeve2/
This one works well with the Prime w/ a case on it (11 inch): <-- what I currently have
http://g-form.com/product/extreme-sleeve-for-laptops/
To each his own, I find the g-form adds too much bulk and the 11" leaves too much room in the sleeve.
But it looks like a good product.
do you think that the Zeroshock III for iPad might fit better? I saw someone's ipad review it looks like it still has some room, but its actually slimer profile with 1", but the for netbook one has 2" thickness which seems be be more than necessary for the prime + dock?

I think the ipad and the netbook has the same thickness which is advertised to be 1.5" but actually, when closed, the sleeve comes out to be about 1.25" thick (see photo). The inner dimension of the ipad sleeve is spec'ed as 9.5" by 7.5" and the 8.9 netbook sleeve is spec'ed as 10.5" by 7.5". I have the 8.9 netbook sleeve; (take a look at the photo) there is only about a quarter inch or room left on each side.

I'm not familiar with the neoprene smell but this is not made of neoprene.
I got this one, and love it.
I got this case, which is for a macbook air 11, and I love it. The tfp fits great with the dock attached, which is how I keep it. I got mine from ebay for a bit less than what knomo charges. Worth it though, well made, and super sharp imho.

Has anybody seen or tried the Asus VersaSleeve cover?

This sleeve looks nice and I was thinking of buying it, but not sure if it fits the Transformer Prime with the dock. The outer dimension shows it's 0.6" thick. I'm afraid it might be too tight for the Transformer Prime with dock.
