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?

Any cheap case for a 10" netbook will fit fine ;P
well i'm really wanting a portfolio case as i will be using my TF mainly for work purposes at the office. my company bought me one to use, so im wanting to carry this thing to meetings and what not...and i dont want to use a messenger bag thingy to do it.

yeah i posted there on the last page asking for tips on the kindle dx cases but havent heard from anyone yet. i think im just going to buy a netbook sleeve/zipper case, and then when a true folio case comes out for the TF, i'll just take my netbook sleeve back to the store and return it.

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

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

It has the removable shoulder strap and an outside zipper compartment. I can cram a pretty good bit of extra "stuff" in there, adapters, wireless mouse, flash drives, etc.

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.

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.
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:

Ok, so I am looking for something temporary that makes it easy to take the tablet out and use and i think i prefer not having a zipper because i just dont think metal needs to be anywhere near the tablet when it comes to a case. So I am thinking about one of the 3 cases and they are all under $10. Free 2 day shipping with amazon prime as well. My biggest concerns with them though is that they might be to big. I dont want the tablet sliding around in it. Here are the options i have found so far:
http://www.amazon.com/Envelop-Neopr...?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1305695940&sr=1-39
http://www.amazon.com/Kensington-K6...2-Inch/dp/B002NU5R3A/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
http://www.amazon.com/Asus-T101MT-E...TF8&coliid=I3ULO79FFYTHW8&colid=3V2S2G7N6FICX
I am kind of leaning towards the Asus one above, but the envelope style one might be nice. I didnt find any in the compatible thread that fit my needs. I will probably be getting a dock (whenever best buy has them available as i have a $100 BB gift card to burn there), nothing is in stone yet. I really wanted a case with a stand, but the asus transformer one seems like crap and the price is to high and doesnt work with the dock.
Help me make a decision as i have been shopping to long. =) I could just buy 2 of the 3, but i dont want to waste money either and Im not one to return a $10 item. I am open to other ideas as well. Thanks!

Keep your eye on It2steve's site: electroniccrap.com If you want to waiting about 9days. You will not be disappointed.
Just ordered one from ebay for 10" netbook, should only have 2cm more than the transformer on the width... should fit great with the keyboard dock and only 3.28$
Here is the link for anyone interested, (also, does anyone actually tried those sleeve and how did it fit, i am waiting for my dock to come in but the dimensions should fit or be really close...)
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250759188954#ht_4779wt_1035
as for the messenger bag, i would have definately got one from amazon but i am in canada and the shipping is monstruous and the ones from amazon.CA are 3-4 times the price so i am looking on ebay...
If you are Sam's Club member
I found a sleeve at Sam's Club for 7.88 by Case Logic. Zips shut and has a small pocket on the front the cord and power supply (I keep an micro fiber cloth for cleaning the display also). Works great with the tablet and keyboard.
I ended up getting the Asus one as it was only about $12 after overnight shipping. Will update you guys on how it fits.
Amazon has this for $80, Best buy for $100. Seems super pricy for a carrying case. Anyone have one?
I want one, but none was in stock when i picked up my Tablet, so im using a HP Tablet case, works, its a bit big for the S Tab though. Im hoping they will make a cover like for the Acer, that the front folds around the back and stays on the Tablet all the time, instead of just a carrying case.
I ordered the Targus Leather Slipcase for $40. I saw an unboxing for the Sony one, but was turned off by the velcro at that price point. I prefer a magnetic closure.
http://store.sony.com/webapp/wcs/st...10151&langId=-1&productId=8198552921666381659
Don't want a traditional cover as I want to handle the device naked with its unique form factor.
The Targus is too tight,I got it for free on my pre order and never used it till now

Wow, what a disappointment. I had a feeling it was the same case used for the iPad. You can find it for around $25 on Amazon. I saw the different "model" number and was hoping it was indeed for the Sony Tablet. Bummer!!!

My tablet is supposed to be here on the 28th. I was getting ready to take a hike to the nearest Best Buy that has one in stock, but that would be $43 including tax plus fuel.

Nice find. I hadn't seen that case anywhere I looked. If you get the cradle, the S may not fit in it when it is wearing a case. Pretty custom fit when naked. Doubt the power connection will make contact if you add a layer of leather. I'd like to see a slip case that can serve as a stand when the tablet isn't in it. May have to make one myself.
It should have a problem with the cradle as the back of the case seems to bend half way up to create the prop so that should put it out of the way(at least thats how it works with the official sony case)
I have a Cheap HP mini-netbook bag I picked up for a 10 quid from asda

It holds it pretty snuggly and also has a couple of pockets for accessoriers to slip into like the power cable and a cleaning cloth etc
im looking for a portfolio style case for my S is thgere any out there yet?
Cases
I was looking online at the Sony Store, they have a real cool one, that you slip the S into, and the front flap can fold over so its still in a case but you can use the Tablet, it was about $40, the downside is its backordered till around mid October!
I bought the dock/cradle, so I was looking for a carrying case. Sony has this one listed on their website but I found it on Amazon, it says Ipad but I'm pretty sure this is 100% the same case. Fits perfectly and exactly what I wanted, and at $16 USD(vs $25) its not a bad price.
Apparently I can't post links because of my post count even though I've been a member for over 2 years!
Search for STM Jacket for iPad on Amazon, its the $16.83 case.

I got the official leather case yesterday from the Sony Center in Sheffield UK. Its a beauty!! £69.99 which is typical Sony Prices but what the hell!!. I was a bit shocked that you have to stick 2 pieces of Supplied Velcro to the back of the Tablet S and you get some extra stick on gels for the top thick end of the Tablet to keep it secure. The Case really does feel like a premium well made product and im glad i got it. I have concerns about taking the Tablet out of the case as the 2 gels are real sticky and some people would have a job getting it out!!
Overall the case is excellent and can be folded to make typing real easy.

I just got a transformer last week and I really don't like any of the folio cases available but want to have some kind of protection for when I throw it in my bag. So I was looking into sleeve cases on amazon but reading the reviews people were saying they didn't fit too well, having 1-2" of space so it moves around a lot. Are there any sleeves out there that are specifically made for the transformer or at least fit it decently?
Hmm, maybe I'm cheap but for that, I'd probably just pad it with a towel or a custom cut piece of foam.

the asus transformer is 27.1cm by 17.7cm I believe and surprisingly when I was looking for cheaper opinions on ebay it was the cheap as chips option that seemed to be sized as best 'fitted' for the asus's dimensions (in my opinion at least)

I suppose if it works for what a person needs it for don't knock the 'cheap as chips' ness factor of it!

That's exactly what I was looking for, you have that case then?
I bought this one. Fits perfectly. Adds a zipper side pocket for the charger. Handles have velcro to keep the together. Has 2 plastic pouches inside made for SD cards. The handles come in handy if carrying other things.

Plus it is super cheap. The quality is about 8/10 as the zippers are just a little tough. For the price it can't be beat.
@ FlyingToilets - yes, I've just bought that one as extra extra protection - you can't really going too wrong with something that costs 2 quid
I've also bought this one as a main case (http://www.yourpoetic.com/android-t.../black-slimbook-asus-eee-cases-and-covers.asp) for about £13 at amazon as the main case (the other case I plan to house the asus+portfolio case and a stylus)
I really wanted to get this one (http://www.yourpoetic.com/android-t...ducts/black-red-asus-eee-cases-and-covers.asp) but it is a bit too much in the uk currently
I've only just ordered these so I don't know how good they will be but I'll try and let you know when they arrive!
I got this one for my Transformer and I love it!
Blurex (cant post links yet), just google blurex asus transformer case
Its slim, fits nicely, and feels great. It also lets me easily attach the keyboard while its open, but its not quite large enough to close around while the keyboard is attached and closed, which I don't really mind.
I just picked up a Transformer on Friday night, so just wanted something cheap for the time being to carry it in. There was a sleeve in the Best Buy ad today so I decided to pick one up. I'm very happy with it for $6.
I can't post links yet, but either look at the BB ad or search their website for "HP sleeve" and you'll find it.
I bought that el-cheapo ebay case.
1) Fit - it fits the transformer very well indeed. The long dimension is just right, absolutely would not want to be any less as it's a bit tight to flip the lid on. The short dimension is just fractionally more than would be a really tight fit, but it's so close that you really could regard it as made for the transformer (tab only, I doubt it would fit with the dock).
2) Finish - not so great. Seriously, what do you expect for the price? Within about 3 days some stitching gave way on the red piping , leaving it coming loose from the neoprene. I have repaired it by hand as at the price it really is not worth arguing it out with the seller.
3) Both of the above combine to mean that you need to be careful putting the case on and taking it off your tablet, as it's easy to pull the lid too hard and potentially break some stitching as you stretch the lid over the end of the tablet.
Overall... I am looking for a messenger bag style case for my transformer (and not liking anything I've seen except a couple of crumplers that, as much as I love their products, I am not prepared to pay for. In the meantime, this sleeve provides excellent value for my tablet around the living room and in my laptop bag.

I am got this one here and I have been very happy with it. It fits perfectly and allows me to stand it up at an angle.
