So I found this case on ebay today
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270755536959
Its $11.95 plus $15.00 for shipping coming from China.
I normally do not order from new sellers but I have a $10.00 credit on
paypal and in the listing they say
Note:we will offer gift for you (a stylus for the 10" Asus EeePad
Transformer TF101 Tablet PC.)
So that only put my total to $16.95 so I figured what the heck,
I might get a free stylus that works and most of those cost at least
$8.00 or more so I placed the order today June 1st 2011 @1pm
and I will track the progress and update daily here on the forums
and at the end I will give a Video Review of the case on my Tablet!!
Just so you know, it says it's PU, not real leather. Just FYI.
Looking at the pics in the link you posted, i have ordered the same one as you, just from a different seller - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260790671114
I purchased mine on Friday 27th.

Cool, yeah I read it I just copied the listing name into my topic name.
Wikipedia said:
Bicast leather (also known as bycast leather, split leather or PU. leather) is a split leather with a layer of polyurethane applied to the surface and then embossed. Bycast was originally made for the shoe industry for glossy shoes, and recently was adopted by the furniture industry. The resulting product has an artificially consistent texture that is easier to clean and maintain.

Dang...I bought mine from a different seller for 28 bux a pop. 12 bux is DEFINITELY more reasonable a price to pay!
[EDIT]
Oh wait, I just noticed it isn't including shipping so it's actually about the same price. Phew...

Thanks!

All the nice portfolio cases (roocase & tuf-luv) are going to be out in July.
I'm looking for a really cheap one to hold me over. I hope to get one fast (hopefully from within US) for under $20 including shipping. Anybody seen anything?
This one is supposed to be pretty good.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1084303
if you search ebay for " SOLO iPad and e-Reader Jacket - Black/Blue" you find it for 17 bucks.
I ordered mine but am still waiting for delivery. Anyone else got this since the last thread was last bumped?
RooCase is available for shipping ??!!
Roocase is pre-order on Amazon thru PCMicroStore (July shipping). But they're available on PCMicroStore website directly:
Just search for "asus transformer" on their website (I can't post a direct link).
It has free S/H, so about the same cost as buying via Amazon.
I used this coupon code for 20% off "20OFFTABLET". So it's about $25 shipped. I believe the code lasts for first 1000 users.
Just ordered, so don't know if it will ship soon.

Thanks for the info! I ordered the black folding case. I'm hoping it's thin enough to fit inside the Case Logic netbook sleeve I bought from Amazon, so I can have some extra padding for it during transport.
I got the solo. It's quite well padded but a little pricey and it doesn't stand up on its own.
anyone get their hands on the roocase yet? is it well padded? it's hard to tell from the picture.
Hm, trying to decide between the executive and the multi angle. Does anyone have an opinion on whether or not one uses an angle other than 45 degrees for viewing on a table?
I ordered my roocase last night and since then, they changed it to preorder, shipping on 7/11.The rep stated they are waiting for them to come from China. That's too long to wait so I cancelled my order.
If there's one thing I hate, it's a site that says an item is in stock when it is not (and, in this case, apparently never was). I cancelled my order, too.
My rooCase pre-order availability date from Amazon moved from July 11 to June 30. Interesting...

I've been watching the RooCase on Amazon. It was July 3rd, last week then up to July 11th. Hopefully June 30th is actually the date. I need to get my order in.
For anyone looking for more detailed pictures, it's probably going to be very similar to their cases for the Xoom seen here:

Bring on the cheap cases
There's a couple of auctions on ebay one @$13.69 shipped and one @$15.68 shipped. Both sellers are from California.
I think we are at the point where the Transformer accessories aftermarket is beginning to settle in.
Now we just need those chargers and cables.

Found a $15 PU case, in brown, black or white (white is $27).
Ordered it from HK, so I have a couple weeks of wait, but it looksw great & is super cheap. If it isn't great, I'll see how the rooCASE turns out.

I dunno, by the time you receive this shipment you could have just preordered either one of the rooCASE or the Case Crown cases that are coming out in 1-2 weeks and shipping from within the US. Also, if you do have to ditch the first case, it is $15 wasted.
Alright my fellow Canadians, if there are any, if you have a Prime you're probably just as pissed as I am about the lack of anything for this tablet up here and even more so I'm pissed at Amazon for refusing to ship anything here. SO, if you see anything for the TP in/available to Canada, post it up here
pretty sure there aren't any sleeves for the prime yet at all. I went to staples and bought a generic netbook 10.1 inch sleeve from targus. Its a little fat for the prime but I figure it'll fit in there much better when my keyboard arrives (if ever)
Basically. Just take your prime to an electronics store and see which sleeve it fits in
I'm waiting for my Prime, but I've been lurking on this sie for a case too. I was hoping to get that roo-case listed here from Amazon. I haven't tried to order it from Amazon.com, but I did read that they will ship to Canada.
What is their reason not to ship to you?
I noticed a few of the cases would ship from amazon.com to Canada - sadly, not all, but there is some selection.
So far every one on Amazon has refused to ship up here :-( just says sorry can't ship to your address

Bummer.
Looks like another long wait.
I just checked again - all the rooCASEs and the MiniSuit one listed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377669 ship to Canada sans problem (Toronto area at least). No dice for the Verteks, Moko, or Poetic ones.
Waiting to see what else shows up myself before just grabbing whats available, though.

fits samsung galaxy tab well.

I ordered this case off ebay. I dont even have the tablet yet but I wanted to be prepared.
case logic pls-9
I just got the case today and I must say, it is quite a nice case. It neoprene on the outside and suede on the inside with a pouch on the outside for storing cables and such as well as a small spot for a thumb drive.
If you are looking for a soft case with good padding I highly reccomend it.
I need to find this one MoKo(TM) Premium Quality Slim-Fit Folio Cover Case
Hey guys, after I emailed them to ask if they could ship here it's all of a sudden available for shipping
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0063Q3G3I/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details
I just tried the link...it's not available until Jan 20.
Also $24.99 for shipping and only option is expedited 2-4 days.

Yup. Shows the $5 shipping earlier but changes to $24.99 shipping in cart. Not worth it IMO.

Hey guys, email them, you'll get it for next to nothing. Amazon has some stupid requirement that things have to arrive within like 5 - 10 days at max or something like that and the only way for them to meet that is to charge $25 expedited. If yoiu email them and say you're in Canada, the guy told me he'll ship it China Post but it won't be within to 5 -10 but I don't care.
Just email em direct, BCSstore or whatever, originally the guy said just order it, put a UK or China delivery address and tell him the order number with an address in CA and he'll change it. Try it out, I got mine with free shipping and expected delivery is like 10 - 15 I think. I asked the guy if others could email direct he said sure, only issue is availability of stock
On the other hand, wanted one of those matte HHI screen protectors, they sell a 3 pack for $12 and want $24 for shipping, emailed them, they basically told be to get bent
I use this one, got it at Bestbuy for about $9 too.
Not sure if it was the 9" or 10" version
but it fits perfectly even with the dock attached.

I bought this case from Futureshop and it fits well.
Tucano Finatex 10"
http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/prod...spx?path=01bc42bce3cb207837454e115277bf6fen02
It has 2 compartments and the larger one is divided in half where the back half fits the prime alone quite well. The front half would fit the prime attached to the dock or the dock separately. The smaller compartment has a mini pocket in it to hold an iPod or phone sized device with a space for headphones to travel up the strap and exit near your shoulder.
The only thing I didn't like (it isn't specific to this case) is that the USB charger wall wart has no place to go that is not a danger to the screen if the bag gets squished.
2 pages and 20 days later and the OP is still absolutely right on track:

I just can't believe how hard it is to find a sleeve/case that fits a minimum requirements.
I'd love to get the Moko, Verteks, Roocase, Vipertek, Blurex slim sleeves (the one at multi-angle, portrait only mode) as they all seem to have the necessary cutouts of ports and speaker, and would allow docking the keyboard without removing the sleeve.
Except, they are ALL unavailable on Amazon.com, and I can't find any of these anywhere else.
Only thing available are the kind of sleeves/cases which cover the front side areas of the tablets which to me, is a no go as these can not be used alongside a dock ; or those like the MiniSuit which doesn't have a stand for the tablet alone.
Worse than that, the same thing goes for the screen shields ! It's impossible to get one here in Canada.
I can't wait to start using my tablet all the time (and get rid of my aging netbook) but I'm just too afraid to scratch it.
Really frustrated at this situation. And I did spend at least 4-5 hours in the past 2-3 days researching all the above.
As I said in the title amazon said the minisuit case for tablet and dock is in stock will arrive Tuesday. I will give a review once I have it in hand. Has anyone else ordered and gotten it yet?

Not available anymore. Not until Jan 31st.
I looked at at it the morning and it said it was unknown if and when they would get more. I was scared mine wasn't going to ship. But it still says it will be here tomorrow.
I received mine today. Can't say how well it fits with the tablet as I don't have the tablet yet (just being prepared). I do like the case itself though. The leather has a nice feel to it and it doesn't seem like it will add much weight to the tablet. Comes in a nice box and was packaged in one of those plastic envelopes with bubble wrap.
Received mine today and it seems to fit both the Prime and dock fine. It has all the right open slots for the various connections needed. And it does not add to much extra weight to the total package.
got mine today too! i really like it. I'll be updating with a horrible unboxing video.
well made decent leather. really nice insides that are super nice feeling like a microfiberish suede.
i got mine today also. I like the case and it seems well made. The only thing I'm not crazy over is how much bulk the case adds to the tablet and dock combo. I guess there is really no way around that though considering how much protection it offers. The only other thing is that there are no holes cut out for the speakers in the case. The sound doesn't really seem to be impacted much by it though.
woohoo! I'm happy to hear that most like theirs. I ordered mine and it will get here near the end of next week.
I already have a non-specific case that holds both the prime and dock, so I'm prepared for it to add bulk. Heck even putting it in a light neoprene sleeve adds bulk. I guess these are so thin and light together that the little added protection of anything more than a very thin sleeve....seems like a lot
I also ordered the $14 minisuit "rotating" portfolio for just the tablet. I like that it provides for viewing angels AND coverage for the tablet if I want to remove it and hold it freely.
I would really like to get a very slim/discrete case for my prime - something like the Moko or Poetic. I can't find a stockist for either of these in the UK. Anyone in the UK have a decent slim case for their prime or know anywhere that stocks them? Thanks!
Or the Blurex case which appears to be identical to the poetic design?
I'm waiting for this too. You would've thought a fairly generic Chinese made case would be readily available.
Amazon uk do poetic cases for the xoom
To answer my own question, Amazon now have this case on their UK site, which I have just received. Comes from the US, so delivery was a bit slow, but the price is great and the case seems very good quality.
Essentially it looks the same as the poetic case, all ports and camera are accessible, and the bezel is not covered. All in, I am very pleased with it.
Thanks for the heads-up. I ordered one of the Great Shield cases from amazon.co.uk and I am very pleased with it. The UK price had been increased to £17.99, but it is still worth the money.
Amazon list this as being supplied by an american company, but fulfilled by Amazon. Ordered on 19th Feb and delivetred on 21st Feb on the super saver free delivery.
Anyone willing to buy this for me, then send it to Denmark? Will pay for the shipping ofc.
EDIT: The reason I need a little help with this one is, that amazon won't deliver this item to Denmark
Yeah i probly could I wanna order one too so i could just order 2. But not till this weekend or Friday when I get my paycheck. What's shipping gonna cost from the US though u might be better getting it from somewhere on ur side of the ocean

I have used an i-Blason rugged 2-piece silicone kickstand case for my Nexus 5 and Galaxy S4. I was really happy with it, especially for the $5-$10 price.
Unfortunately, the same case for my Nexus 6 won't be available until December 1st...so I was searching for something else, even if it was just temporary.
I found what appears to be the same exact case (these all come from the same place in China I think, with minor cosmetic variations) for only $1.95 AND Amazon Prime 2 day shipping.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E4RV8DS/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I purchased it and was sad to see a delivery estimate of Tuesday...6 days from now! I spoke to an Amazon chat rep and he immediately upgraded me to 1 day shipping for free and now it's estimated to arrive on Friday!
Hopefully this case is the same as the i-Blason version and is a real steal...but as long as it is usable for a few weeks I will be quite happy.
You can read my review for the i-Blason version here:
