[Q] Official sleeve from Asus Laptop UK - Eee Pad Transformer Accessories

Just came across this..
http://www.asuslaptop.co.uk/proddetail.php?prod=Asus_Transformer_slip_case
With 5day delivery, comes out to about £3-£4 cheaper than amazon.. no real word on actual leadtime (compared to the one sold on amazon which is 1-3 weeks)
Has anyone bought anything from them at all? Are they reputable?

I assume this won't fit the dock as well and is only for use as a tablet sleeve, which makes it kinda steep...?

No its for the tablet part only.

Well, I called them.. not very helpful. At first the guy thought I was asking about the tablet itself (even though I kept saying "official slip case" etc.) - he didn't even know it was being listed on their website..
..eventually, once he found it, I asked him if they actually had stock in their warehouse. He wasn't sure, and mentioned the 16th May.. then offered to go check and call me back in 20mins, that was over two hours ago
Think I'll give it a miss unless anyone here can suggest otherwise (i.e. they *are* reputable etc.)

Doesnt sound like they want to sell it to you at all lol. Best steer clear of those jokers. Hopefully in a month the market will be flooded with them and the price will drop. At the moment they are certainly overpriced.

Yeah... and with talk of Tuff Luv bringing out a case, hopefully the range of choice will improve beyond just the one

That tuff luv talk certainly has perked me up. No pun intended. Looks like that will be a real quality case.

G tablet Accessories on the way

Hi everyone, I bought the G tablet for my son for Christmas and having been searching for accessories ever since. My persistence paid off. I emailed ViewSonic directly and called repeatedly until I finally got through to a legit person. I was advised on January 19th that accessories such as a docking station, cases, and other plug-ins are on the way. I was promised to have a docking station sent to me free of charge, so I'll let you know when that comes and I'll post some pictures. The timeline was vague, but he said within 4 weeks the accessories should start showing up at Office Depot and the other retailers selling the G tab. I'll keep everyone posted.

That would be so nice, as long as it's a good price point I welcome accessories here in the states and 'readily' available.
I hope this holds up!
... I'm really tired of shipping stuff.

I'm curious. Did you send in the free dock rebate thingy with Sears or did they just offer you one because you were persistent? I would really like one and I can be quite persistent too.
That's great news - I bought a case from Staples that's meant for the Ipad supposedly that's just gotten a teensy bit too big for the gtab so having a nicely fit jacket would be helpful.
After three calls and 2 conversations with his secretary, the individual I talked with said he had overall responsibility for the Gtab. We talked about the many accessories and at the end of the call he offered the dock. It was from persistence.

What was said here? Can you elaborate?
Carrying cases, cases with keypads, and docking stations were mostly discussed. He kept coming back to the docking station saying it could either stand next to a desktop or alone on a desk. We also discussed the carrying cases, which he made it sound like a leather case because he indicated that it would be nice to take to meetings for professionals. He said many accessories will begin showing up at the retailers, but we really didn't go through a whole list. I'm just as anxious as everyone else to see what many accessories ends up being and the docking station when that arrives.

I hate to sound like a skeptic; however I have heard this same story from them since Thanksgiving and it is always the same time line given. While I would truly be happy if this was real, my advice would be to not get your hopes up too high.
There are G Tablet users on here scouring the web looking for alternatives that work for this tablet. There are also a plethora of new 10" tablets starting to hit the market which seem to have more accessory support than our G Tablets. Those accessories should work very nicely for our tablet and we will then have a variety of items to choose.
While I am a HUGE fan of this tablet (I own 2 of them); I have been very disappointed with Viewsonic and the very poor go to market strategy (or lack thereof) which was employed.
Misses on this tablet:
1: They did not have accessories ready to ship when tablet released
2: The ROM was at best half baked and disappointed EVERYONE; this caused something with great hardware to quickly accumulate a bad rep with little hope of recovery. Lets be honest... it has gotten pretty bad reviews!
3: Little to no marketing effort on the behalf of Viewsonic. (They just dumped it out there and no real fan fare was given. I would attribute that to the fact they knew the ROM was crap and did not want to attract too much attention).
4: No real effort on Viewsonic's part to really turn this situation around; oh yes they have made a few cosmetic changes to the ROM... but really folks... that is about it.
Hits on this tablet:
1: Excellent hardware
Champions:
The XDA Devs who took on the monumental task of making this tablet worth owning! The only reason I have two of these is because of all of the efforts and sharing being done by the XDA community as a whole. Viewsonic needs to finacially support these devs and give all of us an accessory of our choice or ship us an upgraded device (whatever they are going to replace this with in the future) due to the primary fact they we beta tested this device and were used as unwitting Guinna pigs by Viewsonic.
Again... don't hold your breath... you will surely turn blue and die before this happens.
I am very happy with this tablet and for what I wanted in a tablet this will serve me well for quite a while. Just remember when something is Bleeding Edge... it does mean YOU will bleed while trying to make the new technology work!
Just my two cents worth....
I guess we will collectively hold our breath...
Perhaps off topic but has anyone seen any sales numbers (units sold) for the gTablet? It probably wouldn't make economic sense to roll out a line of accessories if sales sucked. I did some research last week and didn't find anything. Plenty out there on competitors tablets though.

I'm guessing not so good seeing how several retailers returned all of their stock. The reviews were mostly negative or mixed at best. All of this was due to crap ROM it shipped with. The average consumer would much rather shell out the extra money for a different tablet instead of going through the trouble of flashing a custom ROM like us.

I agree...
The only thing holding this up is the HARDWARE. I'm currently looking to put a newer ROM on there than the one I put on after I discovered the monstrosity they had shipped it with..
A leather jacket would be great.

I ordered the dock from Merimobiles on the 17th and it arrived today on the 31st. Completely took me by surprise. I was trying to beat the Chinese New Years. I was expecting it in another few weeks frankly. Too bad Viewsonic didn't have a number of these in wait at the launch. Probably needed to rebrand. A sticker would have sufficed for me. Now to get back to testing it ....
Has anyone received a defective docking station? Mine will not charge the Tablet. I placed the tablet in the docking station and plugged the station in a wall outlet with the AC/DC convertor I got with the Tablet. The light on the tablet never came on and the tablet was never charged.
Also, there was something fairly heavy that was moving around inside the dock as you rotated or shifted it. I don't know if something was broken inside or it was just a weight used to make the dock more stable. It just didn't seem normal. When I contacted Merimobiles they seemed upset and said that no one had returned this unit and that it was a very well-made item.
Well, I'm returning it.

Consider yourself lucky. I ordered mine from Merimobiles on 12/29 and still have not received it. I got one reply from them after several attempts that the processing got delayed b/c of Xmas and that it didn't ship until 1/4. I finally got a tracking number and it says it shipped on 1/26. I'll spare you all the language that is going through my head for this company.
I like to see some accessories here in the US also. I’m a little leery about buying thing from overseas vendors. Either way I think we’ll be waiting a while for something to show up.
I emailed for an update on the accessories that are due out and the response "You will see accessories in stores March 1". Still holding my breath.

Is there an apple ipad style case for the G Tab

I ordered my G Tab from Woot as many others did. I really like the thin iPad 1 case and have been searching for one for the GTab but haven't been able to find one. I'm not really looking for a big leather case. I'm looking for something similar to this forum post on the Galaxy site: ht tp:// forum.xda-developers.com/ showthread.php?t=893697 (sorry I can't post links)
The Galaxy case that is sold at hand held items (link to hand held in the above spaced out link) looks very similar to the iPad one too but is better because it's not an "i" product.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No iCase
Now for the good news, there are 7 custom cases in this thread.
I got a CLIP case from fellow xda member it2steve and I will say it is the first Apple quality case I've seen for our gTabs.

Steve's cases look much better than the Case Crown cases. I got one of the CC cases and it stopped "fitting" after a few weeks. Opening and folding the front back behind the tablet caused the bands to stop gripping the tablet and I just stopped using it overall.
I'd highly recommend looking at Steve's store: http://electroniccrap.com/store/ind...cription=1&keyword=viewsonic+g+tablet&x=0&y=0
I'd have gotten one of his, but he was out of stock so I ordered one of the cases with the keyboard built in (came out to be $35). I have to go pick it up at the post office, as it was delivered via registered mail and has to be signed for.
It's a great case but still not as good as a custom case

I was one of the early adopters of the CaseCrown case for the Kindle DX for my gTab. It looks pretty classy even though it's not real leather. Good quality construction. Some people were reporting that the elastic tabs at the top were getting lose with time but I've used mine for over three months and didn't notice that on mine. I have to say thought I didn't leave my gTab in the CaseCrown case when I was using it but only really had it in the case for transporting it from home to the office or some other away from home locale. The one thing I will report that is a slight negative about the CaseCrown is that after three months of use I did notice the side of the case that is up against the back of the gTab was getting slightly bent and the felt lining was beginning to bubble up a bit. Even with that slight issue this case I would highly recommend it. If you can part with the cash I would strongly direct you into the direction of one of the custom cases as those are more tailored for out gTabs.
I hope you enjoy your gTab as much as I do mine. I've basically replaced the need to lug around my really heavy beast of a work laptop and now do my off site work from my gTab accessing my laptop remotely via LogMeIn Ignition.
Since I've purchased my CLIP from it2steve I have put away my CaseCrown case. I have no use for it now so if you're interested I'll be happy to unload it on you for next to nothing. Send me a PM if you're interested.

I hope for your sake you didn't get the one that I had before I unloaded it on eBay. It does work but that's where the positive ended for me with that case. The case really looked CHEAP and I was embarrased to take it out in front of other people at work or at a client's site. Also, the keys are hard plastic (not silicone) so I was afraid it would rub against the gTab's screen and do damage since the case also didn't hold the gTab snug but rather let it slide around in there.
This case may be good for students but really is not suitable for a professional environment. It will definitely give the Apple fans something else to snicker at if you work around them.

Just picked it up from the Post Office today, works great but they sent me one with the wrong clip locations, even though I specified Viewsonic Get Tablet as they instructed.
I am going to fix it on my own as others have done because it took 3 weeks to get it.
Overall I'm very happy with it for the price of $35 total.

CaseCrown Releasing today..need help deciding

Looks nice and under $20. Assuming this is fulfilled by Amazon like their other products, I might have to pick one up.
edit: There's a video in the reviews for the iPad version. Looks great! Tight fit and very thin.
http://www.amazon.com/CaseCrown-App...Y8CR6S3G5&s=electronics&qid=1308957186&sr=1-1
checking out shows $26.56 with tax and shipping.. can this item be fulfilled by amazon at some point? i think i still might jump on this, its still cheaper than most other cases.
Damn, I'm tempted to get this. I've been wanting a good case and I already have a carrying case by case crown. But Roocase's case seems like a better option because its multi angle.
Ill probably pull the trigger on this sometime this week. I just want the thinnest stand case possible. The multi angle is less important to me than being thin and light. Most of the others are bulky and if I wanted something an inch thick that protects the screen I could just just carry the keyboard dock.
The pics on Amazon of the CaseCrown look identical to the case (Jazz) I bought from Steve over at electroniccrap.com..
http://electroniccrap.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=34_36&products_id=51
The flap on the back and the way it tucks, along with the viewing angle and case material seem quite comparable...
I'm happy with the Jazz...fit is good and material is decent, especially given the price point....is rather difficult to type at the given angle...I think I would prefer something with multiple viewing/typing angles and a little better quality material...but again, for the price paid it is a good option...I'm betting the CaseCrown will give similar results...
Ryan...should give you the thin, light case you are looking for...that was my main need and am satisfied from that standpoint...
Is this about the thinnest and lightest we can expect from a fold over case like that?
I'm getting tired of not being able to bring my transformer out due to not having any protection. Stingray, you're making me want this case even more so I hope I'm not disappointed after I order it.
Actually now that I look at it the pictures, it seems like the jazz might even be thinner than the casecrown? It's hard to tell but maybe I'm just seeing things?
Went ahead and pulled the trigger, worth trying for 25.
Finally a case built specifically for the transformer that looks decent! Definitely looking to get this. Can anyone confirm whether or not the tablet docks correctly WITH THE CASE ON?
None of them are built with the case accommodating the dock. It would pretty much require the entire bottom to be cut out.

Has anyone got this shipped yet? It says in stock july 5th?
just thought i'd throw in my 2 cents here. i just bought 10 CaseCrown iPad2 standby cases for upper management at work and they are really nice cases. one of my friend had one and after messing with it, i liked it enough to recommend to the execs. as soon as the case came up on amazon for the TF i ordered one immediately.
i highly recommend CaseCrown.

Got an auto email Friday stating they will ship Jun 27th but got nothing so shouted email to them and they stated they did not have enough stock to meet the preorders, next stock they receive is no later than July 8th. I threatened to cancel so they are willing to discount $3 if I wait till then. I preordered Jun 15.
I am in Canada and don't know how these guys ship so I may get this case by August. HA, HA!

The dock compatibility has the downside of exposing the bottom to possible dust and impact. Only way I see a case supporting dock to be fully protective when undocked is if it had some kind of detachable bottom for when you need to actually dock, Probably would be good if it was held in by tiny pop-in buttons of sorts and with a as small a presence as possible so it doesn't cause any discomfort in holding the tablet.

MiniSuit Case For TF and Keyboard

Does anone have the MiniSuit ASUS Transformer Portfolio Stand Case Cover for Keyboard Dock and Tablet?
Mine just arrived today and I am not that thrilled with it. Took 3-4 tries to dock the keyboard with it on. I do often "transform" my tablet so I really need it to be easy to do. Any trick to make it easier?
As much as I go back and forth between the two, I'd love to have one of the new gumdrop cases coming out but it would be even harder to "transform."
I was on the fence and fell off. Dont like the fact that they state leather but read the fine print in the spec sheet says "premium poly-urethane leather" Talk about contradiction, cant be both. Its either leather or its not. Ive never had any luck with such products having any longevity as eventually the plastic WILL break down and become brittle. Leather will keep right on even after years of use, may look worn but its still very much intact.
Im hoping the Tuff Luv cases for the prime with dock become available in the US.
Yeah...I am going to send mine back...just too complicated and really, it doesn't work, especially if I want to take a picture. The flap covers the camera.
Since I have the dock, I am pretty much OK with a durable carrying case to put it in when transporting. Plus is it s shame to cover it up because it looks so darn cool!
I'm yet to receive mine. It wasn't available till the 15th of March and when I contacted them about it after reading a few similar comments to the above, I was advised that the wait was due to a revised version being produced that fixes some of the annoyances of the original batch.
So here's hoping the one I get is a bit cleaner. I'll let you know - its currently in transit - shipped on the 14th of March.
just picked one up too!

Is this case too good to be true for the price?

I am shopping around for a case on my new phone before it arrives. I came across this case by Cimo which is $5.00 and looking at the images and description is seems like it is too good to be true what do you guys think? Can they be scamming? It has no reviews yet either so i am hesitant. Looks to have all the bells and whistles of the other $15-20 cases and i see no promo or anything it is straight off the bat $5.00.

I'd imagine that it'd be a safe bet. Amazon will intervene in the event that it's a scam. I am considering ordering it just for the hell of it myself. My thought on the low price....it may be a new product/design and they're trying to get it out there and into users hands hoping for further sales...
Eh hell, I just ordered it for fun to see how it goes....I'll let ya know how it goes.

I mean i know Amazon has our back but still you cant be too safe these days. I saw they have lot of reviews and popular models but it seemed so fishy to me that they would be selling something that offers this much quality for only $5.00 Spigen has similar cases for $15.00 and that makes you think twice. But thanks for the advice. I am thinking about getting the Turquoise which color did you order?

I think it might be a new model. Not uncommon to see a crazy deal for that kinda thing. Wouldn't be surprised to see the price go up to $12 or $15 in next few weeks....
If you think about it, Samsung (free GearVR and 6 games) and T-Mobile (free year Netflix) are doing the same to get the S7 units flowing out the door fast and furious.
I currently have clear TPU on it. I don't know why I always order them...I think they'll look good, then forget that they just end up looking cloudy with fingerprints haha.
I gotta say, if that turns out to be a nice case, thank you. I haven't had a chance to really dig through all the available accessories for this device just yet.
I also saw the case with this post looks very good for the price definately worth trying out. Lets see how the blue/gold combo turns out. Worst case you can return it Amazon is the best in the customer service business besides Costco that i know of and maybe Ebay sometimes with that money back guarantee.
Amazon all the way here for cust svc. Ebay takes 2 weeks before they'll step in if there's a problem. With Amazon, I had a mattress that I bought...didn't like it. They gave me a full refund and let me keep it. Refund processed same day as call. That's crazy good customer service.
I'm looking forward to this case.
here is another cheap case from amazon:

Actually this case is even cheaper free shipping and under $5 for a case of this quality. Im going to order this one as well. These deals are getting lower and lower every time a flagship is released.

Sweet! Then you can start a thread "Review of my $5 case collection"
I'm getting in on the freebie TechMatte glass screen protector offer.
Man this phone is becoming cheap to protect. Normally I've spent $30 or so to protect it. This time? Under $8.
Don't think there's anything wrong with this one. It's a safe bet. Worst case scenario is you have a dud $5 case.

None of the promo codes work tried 3 of them for their respective case all come back not a valid promo code
For the guys who wanted an update: I got my case its great feels really good and fits really snug i love it. Here is a review of the case someone made (not me) if you guys are wondering what it feels and looks like live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufTroV7bU8g
You still using this case? How's it holding up and does the bottom part come off easily? I'm wondering if it'll fall off when I'm pulling the phone out of my pocket.
