Asus Leather Sleeve in the Wild - Eee Pad Transformer Accessories

Hi guys,
When I ordered my TF from the store, the sales rep told me they would get me a case with it too. But when everything else came (ie, the keyboard and the tablet), they didn't have a case for me, so instead they gave me this leather sleeve that fits the TF perfectly. I think I'm actually more satisfied with this one seeing all the negative reviews of the stock Asus case. Check it out...

Hope you guys can see those. It's my first time posting images on tapatalk. Anyway, the sleeve barely fits with the keyboard. It kind of stretches the sleeve with the bumps and feet on the TF though, so I don't know if I should be fitting them both in there... what are your thoughts?

Like it! Where can I get one?

Is there a part number or model number on the sleeve?

I digg that case. I'm in the UK. Any ideas where to find one? I can't believe how poor the case/cover selection is for this tablet.

white learther sleeve
I got a free white leather sleeve from Asus. White? It looks good, but in a few weeks it will be very dirty. I live in Taiwan and Asus gave me the sleevebecause of the messy preorder.

Is there a part number or model number on the white sleeve?

I wouldnt mind one of these either.....
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk

I am also interested to know where I can find one of these!!

so how about someone tells us where we can get these products

Mine came included in the box. Ordered from Taiwan.

From ebay?

Sorry guys. Sent i really have no idea. The sleeve itself has no tag numbee or model number on it. It only says asus on it.
Ill try to go back to the store next time and ask them where i can get more of them from.

I've bought from the same seller but I did not received one. I asked him about it and he sai he got some from Asus because they could not supply in time. He also said there is no way to get them retail

If anyone isn't using their case, I'd be willing to buy it from you. Please let me know, I live in Canada.

I might be getting an extra one for free, but at the end of june; so I can probably sell it. PM me and let me know. I'll also be getting an extra keyboard dock.

I believe this was included in some markets. Also dependant on the reseller. But that's what I remember from way back in the early days of this forum....

me too, but it smells terrible...
i would use it except it smells too bad

I want a case with an opening of some sort for the charger. This does look pretty nice though. Is it real leather or is it synthetic leather?

My pre order was messy.
I Want one, Asus!!!

Can you test compatibility. With dock?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
Looking at the pictures, it seems like there's not much chance of working with the dock.

Sorry
Would love one but Amazon do not ship to New Zealand. The ebay seller does not ship to New Zealand.
Does anyone know if these are sold elsewhere.
Email them. There is no reason why they can't send it to NZ. Hell from the way the post works over here its probably cheaper to ship to NZ than within the US.

Same question for Europe.
I've been considering getting this one
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sikai-Cover...Accessories&hash=item35b685c3ed#ht_2263wt_907
but I'm worried on the dock compatibility. I guess I could try cutting part of the dock side, but I fear that that would destroy the case. Oh, and it ships to Spain.
Would be nice if they did do a TPU version as I would much rather have that.. Please update if anyone can get their hands on one
For the OP, do the sides of the case that border around the front of the tablet stay firmly in place or do you notice that it is sorta flimsy in those areas? I only ask because i got the sikai case a little while ago ago and the sides were always flimsy. Luckily, since the corners are thicker, the case cant really slip all the way off. Also, with my sikai case, it seems much less tight-fitting than it was when i first got it.
docking station
As far as I know none of the skins will work with the docking station. The one I have from ebay doesn't work with it.
Seems weird that they would cut out holes for the two dock connectors when there's no way it could fit in the dock. That's just inviting dust and lint and such to make their home in those places.

I agree, there is no particular reason to leave them open.

Anyone who already got the Asus Original Sleeve?

If you already received the Asus sleeve please write your thoughts, videos,pictures, about it.
Thanks!

Dont get it.. its not as useful as i hope. NOthing like the Smart Cover, it has only 2 set ups both in landscape, it doesnt cover the back, and its an hassle to use while charging. Also if you plan on getting the keyboard dock also it would be useless
I agree, it sucks hard. Sending mine back next week.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
that bad huh? guess ill pass on these.
wow, if its that bad maybe I should send mine back too, its coming tomorrow, but what alternatives are there that aren't bulky?
I actually like it. Not sure what problem with charging while it's attached, mine is easily plugged in. I like it because it's nice and thin, and I'm not terribly worried about the back getting scuffed up. I might be unusual in that regard, tho.

Is it worth $40 to you?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
I find it very useful. Use my TP about 7-9 hours a day straight and it works in great form presentations to movies to typing. It'd all how u want to look at it. If you think it's garbage you will see it only like that. I have a backside protector and it won't ever scratch etc. You just can't charge it while it's in the high position.
Sent from my Desire HD
How easy can you unhook the cover? I'd like to get it to protect the screen from my cats stepping on it while at home, but put the Prime in a leather case when traveling with it.

have also the original sleeve and indeed when set it meanwhile charging it is not stabill and stands on the plug. Also when not charging its falls easy when on a glidy surface its cajooling to keep it standing. So regret bought it

the hinges on my sleeve literally fell a part. the metal hinges also left scuff marks and a square shaped chip on the back of my prime.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S II t989
I have a back protector but I understand the marks on the back.. I can see it slightly on my protector..
I put thick tape where the hinges would go but I dont like the cheap feel of it and for 40 bucks I already asked for RMA.

Already got the Asus sleeve from amazon and the first think I did before I applied was to put some thick tape on the hinge. After that also putted a very small pice on the back of the tablet and now is working great I don't have the risk of any scratch type.
I think is a good product with its flaws but it's overpriced

Edit: so upon docking the dock got a firmware update. Also a box came up saying asus keyboard needs to be enabled for consistency, seems dock won't work with third party keyboards like thumb for example.

Man, you ordered yesterday and got it today? I just checked and it says they're out of stock again.
Edit: Nvm. Just ordered it from Best Buy.
I ordered on Wed night but 2day Air from Newegg means I won't get it til Monday since UPS does not delivery on Saturday unless requested and Newegg didn't have any options for that. Blargh! It's in Laurel MD right now and I wish I could just drive over there from Northern VA, haha.

Is there a reason the Champagne version is not shipping? I haven't heard anything on that.
Okay I like the dock... It's like a cool stand/case/extended battery.. But idk the keyboard just doesn't give enough when typing for my style... Like they keys don't push down enough... Also whenever I type the track pad is so sensitive that it moves the mouse and clicks it while I'm typing... Messing up some words...

Help Me Out To Get Monoprice.com build Silicone Cases for the Prime!!!

Guys,
Yesterday I saw one of my co-workers with a Silicone case for his iPad2 and really called my attention. When I asked him, he told me he got it from Monoprice.com. It's made by them.
If you are familiar with the site, you will know they make top notch products at very low price.
I have always been a customer from that site so today I E-mailed them to see if they can make the Silicone cases for the Prime.
I would suggest to also help me out E-mailing them and asking for the Silicone case. You never know, they could make one for us if they see high demand
Here is the link you can use:
http://www.monoprice.com/home/home.asp?pn=contact
Done. I hope they hook it up!
Please, make a tpu case for the Asus transformer prime tf201. Tons of people are interested and would purchase immediately. If you make it quickly your company would be the first to offer it for the Asus prime and therefore would reep the benefits.
I would also post links on xda developers .com as well
Thanks

Awesome, thanks for the heads up, I'm going to preorder the hemp one
FINALLY!
Those buying ... make sure you check out Quidco or other cashback sites first ... I seem to recall there were pretty good deals to be had.
That case looks awesome! The prices are super expensive though?! 70 British Pounds? Yikes!
Is there anything similar from other manufacturers meant for keyboard / tablets? Is this not the EXACT same thing as the miniSuit case?
Yeah, the leather ones are pretty similar ...
I was after the Hemp style one though, which is cheaper and looks different to the swathe of other cases out there.
I've just pre-ordered one and when it turns up I'll take a load of pictures and post a mini review for those interested.
It looks to me to be the same as this:

Can anyone confirm?
