GREAT CASE..Shock proof! - Eee Pad Transformer Accessories

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?

[Q] Anyone tried if Gtab fits to this case?

<Origami sleeve by Incase>
As far as I see the pic.. it might be bit tight but Gtab may go inside of the case...
Orz
change "ww" to "www" ! I could not link the site directly.

It's a case for an iPad, which has a different form factor as the gTab. So no it will not fit.
i just got the case from sears the "holiday promo g tablet case" 6 bucks and it works great!
well the size is different but , sometimes, the case got space in it.
its not a covering case, so I thought I may be able to push Gtab in it..
but since its by Incase.. I guess, they make the case as "Just Fit for Ipad.."

I researched this case already. The case only has a height of 10.1". It's about 5" too small.

I hate the smell, though. I left mine out outside to air out for three days, and it still has that rubbery factory smell. Yuk.
Eventually it'll go away.
Yeah it would of been nice if we could of used it for our tablet. But unfortunately it won't.
@ roebeet, I did get the case and happy that mine didnt have that intense chemical smell that many are reporting.
umm too bad. I hoped I can push Gtab in it..
oh well.
Sorry, it's a bit too small. I think you should give a look to the Kindle DX case, you really can't beat it

Best GTab Accesories Thread

So now that everyone's GTabs are on the way, lets focus on the goodies!
Im curious, whats everyones favorite cover/case?
I know I want the dock, but what else is a MUST HAVE? I've even read about a screen protector that improves viewing angle?!?
If you have any good suggestions, please let me know, post the URL for people to purchase etc!
Just received my Skinomi carbon fiber skin. Was very impressed with the material, looks to be the same 3M stuff that "dash kits" use in cars. 24 shipped on amazon. I've heard it sucks to install - but my tab won't be here until Thursday to find out
Right now I have just purchased the "Skinomi TechSkin - Black Carbon Fiber FILM Shield & Screen Protector" from Amazon (Skinomi.com has a larger selection and coupon codes can be found online), based on the reviews there and in a thread over here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=904814) I believe is the best we can buy right now to protect the screen, I went for the full body kit as I have not yet decided on which case I will end with but will most likely be one with a keyboard so I can use it while in class.
I may pick some cheap capacitive pens down the road too just because you can get them pretty cheap and shipped straight to South America where I live
....I am a nOOb so can't post outside links yet....
I'm pretty happy with these...
Arkon Portable Fold-up Stand
Carbon Fiber ThinSkin in Black
CLIP - Folio Case
I bought a dock but didn't really find myself using it after I got it so I sold it off on eBay for a tidy profit.
I also had one of those cases with the built-in usb keyboard but found it looked way too cheap and didn't keep the gTab snug so I got rid of that on eBay for a tidy profit as well.
If you want a case with a built-in bluetooth keyboard I highly recommend checking out it2steve's web store for a case he calls the BlutO.
See link here.
As for a small bag to carry all of your gTab accessories, I recommend the Targus CityGear bag for 10.2 inch Netbooks. It fits everything nicely. The only negative about this bag for me is that the shoulder strap is not removable.
I almost forgot about the Skinomi Screen Protector. It is fantastic as long as you follow the directions and let the damn thing sit until it's completely dry after you've applied it (like 24 hours if you can handle it) and you will be rewarded with a screen protector that you can barely tell is there.
I would dearly love to get the BlutO but it's my understanding that it stays sold out.
So far I've ordered the dock from merimobiles, $42.75 with coupon code bienvenu
Needed the lan port for work since we can't turn on wireless due to sensitive client files.
Messenger bag from Bensoutlet dot com $7.98 shipped. Got one that looks exactly like this for my netbook from 1saleaday last year for $10 shipped and hope it's the same one, great little sturdy bag.
Lenovo usb keyboard remote w/ trackball, don't know if it'll work w/gtab or not but for $27 I can use it with something else if it doesn't.
Have a neoprene sleeve to put it in until I decide on which screen protector and cover.
Dern, why did I type all of this out? Now I know how much I've spent LOL

Just wanted to tell you I'm loving your nym
Bought a tshirt for the bf a couple of weeks ago that had a pic of a pig amongst the clouds with the caption "With enough thrust, pigs fly just fine" Hilarious
To make this post legal (and to satisfy my curiosity) how hard are these skins to put on? I bought screen protectors for my nook that I ended up wadding up and throwing in the garbage, couldn't ever get them to go on without steeeenkin' bubbles that irritated the crap outta me.

One more question for you. Do you think that messenger bag would fit a Gtab with one of these cases on it? Or is it already a snug fit with just the Gtab alone?

I can't answer that yet because FedEx still has my gtab
But. I have one that looks exactly like this one that I keep my 10.1" acer aspire one netbook in (has the extended battery) and I am able to put the netbook in a neoprene sleeve and then into the messenger bag and it fits. So I bought another one for the gtab figuring it should work for that as well. If it doesn't I'll be really surprised but won't be out much money at all.
Hope this helps.

Gotcha. I'll give it a shot. Thanks again.
I picked this up and it looks great:
http://www.amazon.com/Acer-AOD250-1...?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1299249594&sr=1-22
Very professional looking and holds the accessories fairly well. There is only the one outside pocket, so things just get thrown in. For under $20 (with amazon prime), who can complain?
I have a Wenger Swiss Army 12" laptop bag that I used for my netbook. Got it at Walmart for under $15. it too has removable strap and a side pocket too.
Anyone checked out this bad boy from belkin? At a whopping $8 it seems like quite the bargain.

Belkin is usually a good product. But here's what I use (in neoprene), just bought another two pack in fact:
http://www.meritline.com/flap-laptop-sleeve-neoprene-black---p-36331.aspx
Velcro flap closure, perfectly servicable and I've always been happy with them. Free shipping too, but you have to be sure to select that option. It does take a some time to deliver due to the fact that it ships from China. Also, these are a bit roomier than the usual stretch-to-fit neoprene sleeve. My netbook won't fit in that kind due to the extended battery.
What can I say, we wimmins love a sale ;->
I plan to wait to get my hands on the tablet (fedex will get it here on Thurs) ... play with it long enough to be certain I want to keep it ... and THEN ... shop for stuff. Else, getting rid of the tablet and all those accessories will be an humbling experience.
BTW, my CC. has a program where they will take back a product if the store does not accept it back. I hope I don't resort to it in this case.

Sleeves and cases

Has anyone found any decent cases or sleeves for this tablet yet?
It's dimensions are listed as 271x176x12.9mm, which makes it longer than the iPad, as well as longer and wider than the Xoom, so I imagine most cases for those devices will be too small (or it'll protrude through the opening.)
At the same time, lots of netbook cases are around, but they seem to extend by 1 or 2cm too far in each dimension. Closest appears to be the Belkin 10.2" cases on Amazon.
There's a comparison of sizes here:
http://www.sizeasy.com/page/size_co...om-vs-Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-10-1v-vs-Apple-iPad2
http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=5653&t_mode=des
Looks like it might work - size wise it seems the transformer will fit.
For the moment I am going to keep my transformer in the case I used for my Asus EEE PC Netbook, just hope it fits!!!
I also contacted tuff luv as I adore their cases and have one for my Kindle and love the fact I can prop it up and read it. They say there going to look into it and to contact them again in a couple of weeks, I really hope they do a case.
I got on of these as a temporary measure. .

Fits well enough, of somewhat unspectacular..
REALLY hoping Yoobao do a transformer version of their magic case.. have emailed them to enquire.. mebbe i enough of us register our interest.. Hint.. hint
I still haven't found a case :'( I'm using a net book neoprene case which is too big, do we need to consider the keyboard as well... might make it harder to get the case.

Ive got one of these and it fits pretty well.

I got one of these anticipating my Transformer but after getting it, I'm pretty sure it will be about .5 inch short.

The Transformer is long and narrow unlike all other tablets.
I got my kindle sleeve from here..http://wrappers.typepad.com/
Very pleased with it...
If you email them with details they will advise which of their huge range will fit the Xformer. They are custom made.
I bought a cheap neoprene sleeve on ebay (item no 170625464579) for £3.30 delivered (although he has now hiked up his price to £4.95). It fits pretty much perfectly - although I did manage to accidentally wake the tablet up from standby putting it in the sleeve on one occasion.

I just bit the bullet and ordered this one for now:
www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0045D88I4/ref=ox_ya_os_product
Size is 270x200x25 mm which is the closest I could get to the Transformer size. It should arrive in a couple of days and then I will report back.

This looks like a perfect fit from the listed dimensions:

It is duel aspect, so when the keyboard part of the TF arrives it will also be used in this case, the tablet part fits in the top part of the case and is held in place by two corner holders.

Been there, done that. Unfortunately - as you'll soon notice - when it's done up the zip sits right on top of the power button, making it incredibly easy to turn on accidentally. I'm taking mine back tonight.
My sample "Wrapper", as linked above, arrived this morning and it's very nice indeed! Perhaps a little small width ways but I've sent my feedback and I think they're going to re-work it a little. Once they've got the final design down-tap I'd recommend them without hesitation.

I guess i can see what you mean about the zip, but im traveling around with work next week and wanted something quick to stop it getting battered in my laptop bag with everything else that is in there.
It will do for the moment until either an official case comes out or a good alternative is found, I will hold onto the receipt and packaging that came with it, if it turns on the power constantly when im away next week i will take it back.
The TeckNet iPad Leather Case for Apple iPad is exactly the type of thing I want, only designed for the eeePad!!!
I'd link you to the page on Amazon, but I've not posted enough on here yet to put up external links! (GRRR!)

where are the cases??

When are they going to come out with some after market sleeves/cases???? I want to spend some money but no one wants to take it. Company's new the TF was coming out for months.
well the short answer is that there aren't any "official" cases for the TF other than the Asus produced sleeve case. after reading reviews and hands-on impressions, i think the case is way overpriced and not all that great. if they charged $15 or $20 for the case, i think more would buy it.
that being said, check this thread a few posts down for the list of compatible cases. i'm in the same boat in that my TF is actually being delivered today and i wont have a case for it. i'm debating on going to walmart or BB or something and just getting a zippered sleeve netbook case just to hold me over until something better comes out. i'll be walking around with the tablet and really fearful of scratching it or dropping it
Well, there are no official ones but other vendors are starting to put transformer in the title of their products as sign of compatibility?

Currently the only folio-type case is the official Asus case. It's a mixed bag -- functionally, it's perfect, exactly what you want from a tablet case. However, it is pricey, and doesn't appear to be built from $40 worth of materials But, it's all we have right now as far as cases built specifically for the TF.
im in the similar situation as someone above.
my TF is delivered today, but i dont have any protection for it. Might just run to Ross and see if i score on a netbook pouch.
what id really like is a silicone skin to guard the back of the unit and a screen shield..
i can then just store it in a case/pouch

Where are all the QUALITY leather cases?

Something like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqesTZRGwyQ&context=C38b7f16ADOEgsToPDskKBMFMK6BjkFCi6z3oqRqDJ would be perfect for my needs. Something I can proudly take to the office that doesn't look like it was purchased at the local Dollar Store.
Sorry for the rant but the lack of quality accessories for this tablet is killing me.
Apparently no one wants to put money into a device that may not even survive a few months. You will only get the low end stuff really. Everyone knows Apple is the real deal and isn't going anywhere....so it is a sure bet to invest. Remember, you don't need to sell Apple stock, it sells itself.
I have yet to buy one, but this is one of the few I have seen that says it is actual leather.
http://www.skindigitalstore.com/categories/ASUS-Transformer-Prime-TF201/
If you get one and like it let me know.
My friend has a roocase for his og nd its very nice.. Here is a link to one, but they make several. I like this one because the tablet is in a "detachable" sleeve. (I have a substantially similar version made by MiniSuit but it's very cheap leather - looks fine from any distance, but for $14 I know it's not good quality - it serves a purpose and looks fine for my needs.
Anyway..... check Roocase. I've seen and handled that brand and think it is nice. MUCH nicer than most anything else available. If you don't like it, return it.
I have the Caseen Skinny and it's great.
tuff-luv.com has some great albeit pricey leather cases for not only the Prime Tablet but also the Tablet and Keyboard.
The real question is: "Where are all the quality non-leather cases?"
There are tons of options for leather cases with varying degrees of quality, but there are practically no non-leather cases.
I have the cheaper poetic/mono case and it has been great. No complaints.

How is it only going to last a few months? They are releasing the tf 700 in a couple of months, but that will be the same size so if anything the lifetime will be expanded more that it normally would be.
Also this is a good case, I got the exact same type just from a different company called Acase, because it was cheaper priced.

Yes, I've been looking at this one but I'm cautious on pulling the trigger. Read a review on another forum and the quality of leather was in question.

I also purchased the Mini Suit case to hold me over and agree that it's made of very very very cheap looking pleather.
So my search continues
I bought this case off of eBay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/260938668106?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
I have several cases from this guy on our Kindles, Nooks, iPad and now TFP. Have had some for over a year and there are holding up great.
The two problems I have with this case is that it will not charge closed or when sitting in landscape as shown.
I was skeptical about different cases i kept finding online. But after taking a proper look at this one --> "GreatShield Multi-Stand Leather Protective Folio Case for ASUS TF201 Eee Pad Transformer Prime"
I went ahead and ordered it. It cost me 20pounds and was shipped from the US. In terms of quality, It is way better than any leather case for any tablet I have seen so far including those for the ipad (and I mean it). I asked someone @ my UNI to guess how much it cost me and he said "probably 70pounds". My point is, it is of the best quality, it looks sleek, professional and prestigious. Even better is the fact that it is tailor made for the transformer prime so all ports are accessible. Its design also doesn't cover up the bezel like most other tablet cases do (something i dislike with a passion).
I trust that if you go ahead and get it, you will not regret it. Here's the amazon UK link
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B006RML5ZO/ref=oh_o02_s00_i00_details
If you live in the US, you can search for it on amazon.com.
I hope this helps.
Cheers mate.
Thanks for the info jdeltree, unfortunately I have already purchased & tried this case
http://www.amazon.com/TF201-Transfo...3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1330033453&sr=1-3
which looks fairly similar and was not happy with the design. Used it for 10 minutes and went back to the cheap minisuit.
Most of my cases in the past did cover the bezel and I kind of got used to that.
I may just bite the bullet and try the Caseen one. At this rate I will end up with a drawer full of these cases in search for the right one.
Going to give the Acase another try tonight to see if I can get used to it.
The saddle leather one coming soon from tuff-luv looks promising. 99£, but saddle leather is a top quality product. Once a picture is available, ill probably order one, as long as I can get it to the states.
Sent from my CM7 Atrix 4G
Yea, I love the look of that saddle leather one. Very cool indeed.
There is a group buying of the rotating case:

if you are planning to get that, think twice

"Quality Leather"
If you think that $10.00 is quality leather, or leather at all for that matter, then your standards are very low.
I have the caseen one, I'm pretty happy with it.. Doesn't add too much bulk but does add a good amount of protection. I feel the build quality is good too.

UGLY duckling. Also, they forgot to make holes for the speaker! A lot of cases apparently have forgotten to make holes for the speaker. I'm still using my Caseen Skinny case and I still love it.
