i decided to purchase this for my transformer and i just got the case today. the price to me was pretty good, the quality of this carrying case or bag is great. i am not sure how many people just went for the tablet itself or intend to purchase it along with the docking keyboard. I plan on getting my tablet with the docking keyboard and from the looks of it right now, there should be enough room to fit them both inside this case nicely. i fit my tablet in there and there is still room to spare. there is also separate zipper compartment for other small accessories. flash drives, charging cables... etc. everything should fit fine. they also have a brown one available but that cost a few bucks extra, it might even match up with the transformer well. but i went for the black to save a few bucks and you can't really go wrong with black. while this is a bit thicker than just a plan sleeve, i feel it doesn't really show in this case. it looks slim for all the room it has. there are handles to make it easy to carry and even an additional/optional body strap included. i am sure this may not be for everyone but if it helps a few people, that would be great.

Glad to hear you like it. I plan to use it with the keyboard, so I'm looking forward to this case.
i bought the same one!
@OP
Thanks for sharing your experience with this product. I just ordered a brown one off Amazon; looks to me like it matches the brownish color hue of the Transformer & dock very well. I went for both so something that could cary and protect my investment safely.

Down to $13.22!
For the black version that is.
Could someone please confirm it that a TF101 with dock will fit this bag? As none of the posters had the dock or case to check it for real.

I have this case also and I can confirm that the docked Transformer fits. For the price it really is a nice case.

if you can find a netbook case that will fit your tablet (may not fit tightly) and the price is right (free-cheap) then go for it.
I am making use of a Caselogic case intended for 10.1" Netbooks (as i had it laying around after i sold my Netbook in order to get my gtab - great decision btw).
It fit my netbook a little loose and so it obviously fits my gtab even more loosly, but for no additional out of pocket expense it works.
Agreed, I had a few of the $0.99 cases that Meritline had on sale. Yeah it took a while to get them but they used to go on sale every week before tablets got hot. They are the sleeves that you see on ebay for $10 nowadays I also had a caselogic one lying around and I prefer to use that because it has a pocket and zipper instead of stuffing my gtab in a sleeve.

I got this a while back (when it was $4 fulfilled by amazon)
And it fits perfectly.

I am using the case that someone listed in here from Sears. It was under 10bucks shipped to the house. It looks just like the one posted earlier but black.
I also use a leather case that I found on eBay that was under 16 bucks shipped too. It fits nicely into the one from Sears. The leather case seller id is chinese-smile, they have other cases for different tablets too. Took about 2 weeks to get but worth the wait.
I wonder if I can plug my phone with case into the dock.
I have a otterbox commuter and impact.
Do they fit with the dock ? [I'm pretty sure that the commuter doesn't .. too big ]
I want to know so that i won't waste my money

not fit with otter and other case...
The only case I've heard of working is the Incipio Feather case. Maybe some relatively thin gel cases might work if you remove the "insert" from the dock.

I think the impact case will fit the dock if I remove the plastic cover on the top of the dock (but i'm not sure) ..
Did anybody try ?
Case-mate flex protection for the atrix allows splitting the lower side of the case in landscape so it fits in docking stations. Pictures follow in some minutes ...

Nice photo review sxg75, thanks for that and the link. The case looks great. I think that if they added the little stoppers that fit in the usb/hdmi and audio holes it would be perfect. Gonna get one anyway.
I have more than a few types of cases, none work that well with the docks. I can get the ones that I have to work. It isn't the best fit though...
Wow that looks great, a nice idea to get a case to work on a dock without modifying it - if you're ok with $30 price range.
Pretty slick design IMHO. I'am not all the worried about screen, but like the idea of having a way to just be able to toss it on the table and not fret. Good grip as well. I have an email blown into them to see what they say.

That's definitely a case I would consider buying for my TP.
i agree, but i think most users wouldn't like to have to remove the case every time they dock it, a slip on case like that is useless to most of the TFP users as most state the reason they buy the TFP is the dock, i'm not one of those people.. i want something like this, but black and rugged looking
http://www.hardcandycases.com/ipad-smoothskin.html
i'm the type as well were i just want to throw mine around, i do alot of backpacking,camping ect and like to be able to just toss it in my backpack out on the table or down on a rock while hiking (lunch break with music, lol) and not worry about it to much....trouble is i don't think we'll see to many awesome case just due to the fact this thing is ment to have a dock attached to it for 50% of the time...i plan on only using the dock for out of country travel and just leave the netbook at home
Incipio emailed me.. no chance

Wow! I really like this. That's all I really need simple and convenient. I don't use the dock so will work for me.
Not a chance they will make those for TF right?
I would like to have this just for times when I NEED a case like this. It's like an Otterbox Defender with the screen protector.

Hello folks,
So recently I've noticed a lot of hesitation on these forums when it comes to purchasing accessories for our new Primes.
I'm here to speak for those of us who need instant gratification in order to feel that a product is satisfying enough to actual spend money on. I, like most people, need to go "hands on" before buying a product of any kind.
Anyway, without further adieu...

Now... keep in mind, this case was only $30. And I managed to discover it at a local Best Buy. Obviously, it's for the original Transformer. However, it works like a dream, containing it properly, without any room to slide around or malfunction.
It's an excellent case, with premium feel to it, and offers the functionality of a "kickstand" to provide exceptional viewing angles and comfort in your lap.
The port cutouts, ironically happen to match-up with the body of the Prime quite well.
As for the interior, the finish is a soft, suede material that is lining the entire surrounding area in which your tablet will rest.
All-in-all, I'm very happy with my purchase and find it to be a suitable alternative to housing protection until I can get my hands on the keyboard dock.
I hope this brief, off-topic (somewhat) review was helpful, to someone out there.
Ciao!

Very helpful!
Thanks for the post. Does the strap get in the way of the power button or volume buttons?

Just slightly, but it's a sacrifice that I'm willing to make because the case is great and affordable. Not to mention, it can be found in most Best Buy locations.
It's worth a shot if you're trying to find a case for basic transport that is also functional.

I ordered the same leather case but made for the transformer Prime from Amazon. I think it's out of stock now but mine has already been shipped.
Update: It's now back in stock

Not even close.
Has anyone thought of using an iPad Sock as a light case for their Transformer Prime?
I have checked the dimensions (10."x5.3" (stretchy)), and even though the Prime is a little longer than the iPad it looks like these socks will fit perfectly on the TF Prime.
I know, I know, these socks are intended for that other tablet but considering how cheaply they can be has on eBay and also considering that they come in nice colors I figured I would buy one and give it a try.
I had been considering the Transleeve, but I just can bear to spend $40 on something I know will suck and these looked like a nice alternative.
Anyway, these are all over eBay for next to nothing:

(p.s. I plan on cutting off that tag! )
I actually use two iPad cases for my transformer... one sock (fits snug, but works) and a neo pouch kinda thing.
They work just fine!

Does the iPad sock completely cover the Prime? From the specs I found for these socks it looks like they should be just about a perfect fit but it would be nice to have confirmation
Just got my first Pad Sock and it fits the Prime pretty well:
It was a little short so I had to stretch it out a bit (rolled it up, pulled it like taffy), but this looks like it will be the perfect alternative to the problematic Transleeve. Just FYI, my Prime is inside of the sock in the photo above.
Also, this sock didn't have an unfortunate tag that needed removing
All in all, not bad for about $4.
I use the case logic pls9 neoprene sleeve myself for just tablet sometimes and also tablet and dock. It is less than 20 from Amazon and fits perfectly. Just another option if interested.
