Hey all,
I found this on amazon. Thought maybe some might be interested. It's a cheap alternative and I've already placed my order for it. 9.58 isn't alot to spend and that's all i figured I'd lose. I ordered the brown one but there's a black one too. Might be a cheaper alternative to the tuf-luv case since some were worried about the bulk. I'll update this once I receive it and give you some pics.
Since it won't allow me to url tags or give out the url, search for Navitech + Asus and you should see what I'm talking about.
Let me know what you think!
This looks JUST like the Elsse Premium Synthetic Leather Case (there's a thread about this elsewhere in this sub forum). They were having a discussion there about whether or not the case would work with the dock as well, and I guess the answer would be yes, if you unfasten the velcro?
Can anybody confirm?
Is this what you mean? Looks good if not a little thick when all combined.
Anxious to hear any reviews.
Yeah...that's what I was talking about...apparently they must have had a huge messup with the price because I got one yesterday for 4.99 + 4.49 shipping....they've sent it and it looks like it's coming from the UK...anyhow...the 4.99 are gone and they've got only the 19.99 left. I'll give a review once I get the case...even if you undo the velcro, you can still to a material store (joanne fabrics, etc.) and get a longer velcro strap to hold it together. Thanks!
Wouldn't the rooCASE Slim work the same way?
http://goo.gl/V0RMe
roocase does not do the samee thing at all; this has a case for the tablet, then also for the docking port and then they finally work together somehow.

Looks like someone gave it 1 star on the Amazon product page. According to the reviewer it does not accommodate a docked tablet too well.

Looks like the reviewer may have a legit point. If you look at the sideways pictures, you can tell the tablet is not docked. The tablet hangs over the edge of the dock by almost an inch. Anybody who has the tablet with the dock knows that when it is closed, there is almost no overhang. I know I won't be buying it.
With that said, if anyone knows of a better case. Even one that would store the dock and tablet separately, I'd like to know about it.
ilgadets,
If you're interested in a sleeve case, I recommend this one:
http://www.overstock.com/Luggage-Bags/Wenger-Swiss-Gear-Legacy-10.2-inch-Tablet-iPad-Netbook-Slimcase/5804731/product.html
It has two zippered pockets, handles, a removable shoulder strap, and pockets on the front and back,
and it fits the Transformer and keyboard dock (separately) perfectly.
The handles can be slipped into the pockets, but that adds "bumps" that I didn't like.
I wanted the thinnest possible case, so I cut off the the handles and the triangular clips for the shoulder strap.
I think this is one of the best solutions for carrying the tablet and keyboard separately.
Regards,
Eric
FWIW - I grabbed one from best buy for an HP Mini 10 and it works perfectly. Fits very snug with the dock, and i feel safe carrying the tab around in it. Also has a zip pouch for a cleaning cloth, HDMI adapter, headphones, and other small items.
Was about $25 iirc... so a little bit more than what you're looking at here.

I have the exact same one, mines black and kinda has a 3D cube kinda pattern on the front. Anyways, I'm an employee, so mine only set me back $7. BBY employee discount is changing though, so that won't be the case in the future.
Anyways, case fits great, holds tab or tab+keyboard excellently.

Are you guys taking about a case or a carrying bag? Unless I'm mistaken, I believe the OP is talking about a folio type case for both the tablet and dock - kind of like this Tuff-Luv combo case.

The Tuff-Luv's are very nice and well made but also pricy. This might be a good folio alternative for cheaper one.

I just bought a soft Sylvania case at cvs meant for "up to 10.2" netbooks". Fits great especially if you leave in the foam insert.
Thanks for the tip! I'll have to go there tonight on my way home.

I just picked up a Swiss Army netbook case at Walmart. It's $18, but worth it I feel.
I try to post a link... here.
I stopped by the cvs by my apartment on my way home tonight- it's basically like the zippered carrying case sold at Sears in the Viewsonic packaging except that it has no carrying handles.
I went with the HP Mini Slipcase ala:
http://www.compuvest.com/Desc.jsp?iid=1422615
Cut the lining open, slipped the foam packing insert inside, and now I'm good to go.

I had that one and returned it. Its a very nice case, but it doesnt fit the G Tab very snug at all. It moves around in there a lot.
I got a Built case from Office Depot I think for 12.99 or 15.99.
http://www.amazon.com/Built-LH10-BLK-7-Inch-10-Inch-Hoodie/dp/B001N44UI0
Can be found for cheaper, it has a semi-rigid backing and it fits the gtab pretty well. nice to transport it, but I still want a fitted case with a cover to use it in.

I also noticed the little bubbly things on the inside smudged the fingerprints on the screen and made little circles everytime I took it out of the case =). Not a big deal I guess, but had to wipe it down everytime I took it out of the case.
Ended up getting an incase case from Marshalls for $12. Its also intended for a netbook but its tighter on the sides so even though theres quite a bit of room up top it doesnt move so much since its snug on the sides.

This looks like the $5.99 one listed at Sears: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00382006000P?mv=rr model GTCLC-22 Holiday.
However a few members had issues with its smell: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865392 ("G Tablet Case")
That is the same case seling at sears for $5.99
Walmart case
I bought one of the sears cases. While I liked the idea of having handles, I felt that it did not offer enough protection for the Gtablet. So now I use it to carry my power supply and keyboard/mouse in.
I found this case at Walmart and it fits the Gtablet great. I have not had any problems with it causing the power on button to be depressed. I left the foam padding in the case to further protect the screen. I paid 17.99 for it. But I have seen it as high as 22.99
http://www.walmart.com/ip/SwissGear-Lunar-10.2-Sleeve-Black/14964986
But I assume if you tried to push in from the sides you could force it to come on.
Hope this helps

This is the exact same one that Sears is selling in Viewsonic packaging. If you can find one at Sears, it is/was on sale for $5.99. I bought 2 (one for each g tablet in my house) If you let it air out for a day or two the smell goes away.
Was looking on Best Buy and came across this case for travel. Would appear to be a nice case for dock and tablet together. Anyone have this case? I have a Targus Case for my laptop and it has held up well for a few years now.

I just got it today at Walmart. I think there is too much room for my liking, but I don't have the dock either. It will have room for the dock though.

Yeah I have the dock already and that is why I was looking at something like this case. Think I would rather have this than having to put the tablet in a sleeve and the keyboard loose in a back pack. Here is another one I was also looking at.

Decided on the Tuff-Luv faux leather case for better protection as my 4 year old boy is always messing with my Tablet S. Seems to be pretty solidly made with just minimal exposed parts. Anyone else using it?
Btw ... anyone from Singapore/Malaysia interested to buy my Original Sony Tablet S Cover S SGPCV2? Letting it go cheap on eBay.
just got it from amazon.
it is a nice case indeed. It's reasonably priced and well made. but let the pictures do the talking
-edit- as aparently my post count is too low to link external pictures, they are hosted on my gallery gallery.twingo.rs/index.php/stuff/Sony-Tablet-S1/TuffLuv-Case/
maybe someone can link them for me
That's a really nice case. Can you charge the Tablet S while its in the case?
yes. you just have to leave the flip open. the tablet goes in thick end first, so easy charging
Is it more of a carrying case or is it meant for you to use the tablet while having its in the case?

Yes u can use the tablet while in the case. It is more of a protection case. Stands in both vertical n horizontal poaition.

Awesome I'll probably get it then.
Careful. The one on my pictures is just a carrying case. you can just slip the tablet in for transportation. the one ndrookua is describing is not the "TuffLuv". It's another case from the same brand.
Hey guys, thinking of pre-ordering this, what do you all think? I've been interested in a case that covers both my Prime and my soon to have docking station. From what I see, I think it fits my needs. Feel free to share your thoughts.

Yes it does have holes for the dock. No removal of the entire cover needed. The mini-suit is the perfect fit that also support the dock IMO.

Thanks! Its alot cheaper so I'll give a shot! I just want a case that protects both the tablet and the keyboard dock.
what about the position of the tablet when in "writing mode"?
The image shows a very steep angle between the keyboard and the screen when using the keyboard.
Will the hinge between dock and tablet hold the screen and the angle you desire?
What if the keyboard is not used the angle cannot be fixed as it is with some other cases. (though they do not have the option for the keyboard)
Not sure if the Poetic case is a rip off of this one or the other way around but I got the Poetic case that looks eaxctly like this one and I love it. I actually dropped my Prime this morning running to the buss stop and was worried to open the case to witness the scratches and/or damage and the case did an excellent job! No damage! I'd highly recommend although I advise against dropping!
I have the MiniSuit case. When it first arrived I was a bit disappointed.
One of the let downs was the fact that the case around the tablet did not have any magnets so the fold kinda flapped around and did not stay shut if the tablet was undocked.
I solved that by putting a couple of adhesive Velcro strips on the top and bottom.
After that!.... It never leaves this case.
http://i.imgur.com/g6Tad.jpg
I have it. I would have like it if the tablet portion of the case would work as a stand when detached from the base. Even with that being said it is a nice case for the money.

Hi, have any of you actually used this case with the dock attached? I have this case and whilst is does have holes where the dock connector would go, I can't connect the dock at all - there is just too much leather around the holes/case etc.
(It's a great case for the tablet alone, I just can't make it work with the dock)
I'm looking for a slim case that works both with and without the dock attached. Perhaps the best solution is the other Mini Suit "Rotating" case mentioned in the first post?
Any experience / views would be welcome.

Brilliant idea! I was about to buy that same case, then i wondered will there be anything to hold the front case.
Btw, did the case smells? I mean, that strong leather smell?
I bought this case but it smells even after a month. I did everything, even wrap in newspapers and placed under the sun.

A lot of these cases would be fine if they weren't fake leather. If for instance they were lightly texture vinyl instead or silicon. Fake leather electronics cases always feel so 1990 to me.
just bought one, hoping better cases come out like this -_-
oh well it was only $25
