Rambo, I guess you don't read the sticky here at the top. Please look at the FIRST post. There is a large list of many different cases.

I read the sticky and they have many cases but not like the one I want. Yes there is an ugly 3 fold but no details about it.

I've not bothered with a cover as such - instead I was more in need of a case. Anyway, rather than buy a dedicated one (which - apart from the ones on eBay - are a bit expensive) I managed to get an HP netbook bag. This looks quite stylish - and at just over five bucks (equivalent) it didn't break the bank.
There's also a good amount of space for that crappy charger arrangement that Asus foisted on us - in my opinion the worst aspect of the product.

I just got a case from Tuff-luv, and i think it is really great.
http://tuff-luv.com/natural-hemp-bo...s-eee-transformer-tablet-chocolate-brown.html

I haven't seen any cases that work with the Asus dock that look good.
I couldn't get the above link to work but tough-love has some ok cases on this page you may consider. Though I still like my slim case better, but it dosen't work with the dock.
http://tuff-luv.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=Asus+Transformer

I have the official Asus Transformer case that I picked up at OfficeMax for $29.
It has flanges around the sides where it was sewn together but overall feels great and is a really good fit.
Downside is that it seems to be made upside down, so the flap wants to hang when open. You can fix this by rotating your screen upside down, but it doesn't play well with all apps.
The other gripe is that the charger port is near the "hinge" fold so you have to have the case open to access the charger.
I'd be interested in just a hard/thin plastic back that snaps around the corners and has a flap for the top.

Thank'd all of you.

Same problem here. Do you have a link to product?

Bluerex Ultra Slim KIND OF works with the keyboard.
You can use the keyboard with the case when it is open, but you can't really close it around the keyboard for storage.

i purchased this one Poetic(TM) Stand Leather Case from Amazon. it fits perfect nice and solid. looks professional. and its a good price

bought the custom folio case from electronic crap.
http://electroniccrap.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=34_36&products_id=62
sits nice around and good protection. can easily separate the tab from the dock and still have good protection on the tab.
The third fold closes nice with magnets, with and without dock. it also keeps the tab upright when docked and used on your legs. (the weight of the screen wants it to tip over when on the legs are not completely horizontal)
the only downside was the cover over the tab blocked the left speaker. but a sharp knife solved the problem.

Thnx for the info.

Finally found an ideal pouch for the Hero

After trying several cases/pouches including the official C300 leather case (too bulky) and a cheapo faux leather pouch that marked the white casing of the phone I have finally found this:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-GENUINE-L...ches?hash=item3ca4b454a3&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
Its a pretty tight fit but you can yank the tab to pull the phone out.
Dammit I spoke too soon. It stained the Hero orange!
I've ordered a gel/silicone case now.

Ouch, hope you can find something that you like!
I have been in search of a good case too, and I think I'm going to go with a foof pouch from Foof Shop. Another user of these forums got it and said it fits perfectly in an iPhone/iTouch size. Just a suggestion for you, if you like the style.
It's a shame my favorite company, Switcheasy, is staying Apple only
Waiting for beyzacases myself - their diamond one was superb.
I'm using a large Luna pouch by Krusell. Paid about £12 for it on a buy it now from ebay and would happily recommend.
It's a good quality soft leather case and while it wasn't purpose built for the hero, it is as you can see a pretty snug fit

I can lightly hold case upside and gently shake without the hero falling out, but at the same time I don't need to wrestle the case to remove the phone. Only downside was the quality control sticker left a sticky mark on the leather when I peeled it off (which washed away with a little liquid soap).
Wish I had a black Hero. The white one gets marked without trying.
I might get my girlfriend to make me one of these:

thanks; would you please confirm whether you got the Large or the Extra Large Luna, please?
MF recommends the Extra Large, for the Hero, but you mentioned only the Large.
Looking at the sizes there's only a few mm in it; I really don't want another pouch that the phone falls out of though
thanks again...
Foof is Ideal
I recommended the foof case, and the more I read with problems with other cases the more I'm glad I use this one. The interior is white fleece absolutely no chance of staining and great protection for the device. I've still heard all my notification sounds through the case and the black and white patterned cloth looks great. Its also washable.
thanks; I love the foof cases: I was going to get one for my MBP, but my wife made me something very similar herself, just as good (or better .
Which foof case exactly did you get for the Hero? How snug a fit is it?
thanks again.

At the moment I'm using a Foof case with a sherpa fleece inner. Its surprisingly protective and fits perfectly. Snug enough not to slip out but easy to remove. Got the ipod touch size from http://foofshop.com/ and they have great choices for different colours.

I got a "Golla" case from the Carphone Warhouse, it's a nicely padded thing, never had one before only £9.99 - bargain
I got one of these:

It fits really well and is cheap as hell. It also makes it large enough (and increases the drag coefficient enough) so that it feels secure in my old G1 pouch.

Transformer Leather Portfolio Case

I am looking for a portfolio case for the transformer... has anyone had any luck finding one? The Asus case seems nice, but I would like to put a couple other small things in it, have a slot for a stylus, and be under the $40 that they are charging. Here's what I'm looking for, only fitting the Transformer instead of the (shivers) iPad.

I'd be in for one of these in a heartbeat. That case looks AWESOME.
A friend has one for his iPad. It works perfect in the class setting we are in with the stand built in.
Sorry for the link not being a hyper link. I have been reading the forum for a while, and figured I should just take the dive and join in on the fun.
I'd much prefer a nice leather case too than the official sleeve. Lets just hope our eee pads become pretty popular and then lots of 3rd party manufacturer's will pump out some nice accessories.

Haha, well one thing needs to happen in order for it to become popular:
Asus needs to make more than 30 at a time and supply retailers with enough so it lasts a day or two!
Has anybody had any luck finding a portfolio case for the Transformer yet? The closest one I like/found is the rooCase Executive Folio for the Xoom.
i just received this case from ebay. Its quite a good fit

How about some pix with the transformer in it... from different angles.
thx
EDIT- forget it- i saw your other review post.
Apparently Tuff Luv were creating a tri-axis case for the transformer which was due in about 4-5weeks time. I would assume it would be similar to the one they made for the Xoom. Link HERE if you're interested in seeing it. Looks decent.

Looks cheap in material and expensive in price. They already have a bunch of "leather" cases out there for tablets. If it was me, i definitely wouldnt want a leather one as they are pretty much never leather and have a better chance of cracking than other materials. Plus by the looks of that case, its literally going to add about 50% thickness or more to the tablet when its closed.

Saw your review (http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/showpost.php?p=55917642&postcount=42) and it DOES look like a really good fit. Real bummer about the top-left elastic though. If you put the top-left elastic on, does it actually press the volume button in? Or does it just block it? That might be the one deal-breaker for me at that price.

Taking photos to show the quality of any leather is tough. From what I've read about their products, I'm sure it will be high quality stuff. I would just prefer it if they made a simple book cover type case without the tri-fold parts tbh. Maybe they'll make other styles idk. The lack of quality leather cases from anyone so far is annoying.
I don't know where you are from, but here in the UK if something says it's leather, it's made of leather (unless you buy it at a market perhaps). Quality will differ though of course. Any quality leather that is cared for wont crack. I think the extra thickness is a good thing as it would protect it more. Might add a bit to the weight but I can live with that. It's a case of you get what you pay for when it comes to leather products.

Best Buy now has Rocket Fish leather folio cases. $50. No place to put pen.

I figure they decided we're used to getting hosed on the pen and on price.

Hardshell and Folio
I bought both today, but I figure I will just stick to the Folio case, see as the hardshell seems kinda pointless overall for my tablet. The Folio seems to fold into a stand, however mine didn't sit too well, I have a few photos but I hit my limit on upload I can post more if you need!
Edit: The Folio in Landscape kind of prevents pen button access, I dunno if this is just the way mine is cut or what...
Hmm. The way it rests in mime, pen access is unobstructed.
Saw from the other thread, that there are cutouts for speakers and camera. Also just noticed from the title, no place for the pen.
For $50 and no pen holder, I'm happy I didn't waite and got the Platinum case for the Galaxy tab for $15 cheaper. Does the same thing, with the stand, etc. Just a couple of easy modifications with sicsors and a hole punch.

So does your Flyer fit in your folio case with the hard shell on also because I have a tpu case on my flyer and I want to keep it on but hope to still be able to fit it in the folio case?
Sent from my HTC Flyer P512 using XDA Premium App
Doesn't fit
Yeah vj092887 it does not seem to fit with the hardshell attached although I didn't really push very hard to get it into the folio when it had the shell on...
I have both of the RocketFish cases and I would not recommend putting the tablet in the leather case with the hard shell attached since it is too large and would likely stretch out the leather.
Warning about the RocketFish hard case. I removed it to add a microSD card and it was scuffing the aluminum on the Flyer. No scratches, but some aluminum shavings did come off. Although the aluminum is pretty to look at, it scuffs and scratches very easily. I honestly prefer the more resilient plastic, like on the Samsung Galaxy Tab.
I used the leather case from them and noticed it messed up my Xagg shield... so I had Best Buy replace the shield. I returned the case and got the zip up case that fits the 7" tablets. Much better! I -may- spend the $29 for the hardcase if I notice a scratch or two on the back.
-- Insert 2 cents here --
Looks similar to the Targus Truss case for Playbook. That has no hole for camera (but I don't use anyway) but does have pen holder. The Targus case just needs a strip of Styrofoam from the packing cut and inserted for the Flyer to fit in nice and tight.
I found this today http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0055EPO8O/ref=redir_mdp_mobile/183-0174799-8151867
Price is reasonable but I don't know how this fares to the rocketfish since I won't have my view until this friday.

No speaker holes or pen holder?
I have a journel case that has the HTC logo on the front... (got it off ebay for $44.39 AUD / $47.63 USD - expansys AU now stock it for cheeper here) not entirely sure if it is an official HTC case ... but:
The build quality is great
Fits really well
It has a place for the pen
It looks good and is barely bigger than the flyer
It has magnetic clips
It has a place for the pen
I have been using it for about a month and it doesn't seem to mark the flyer (unlike the rocket fish case)
Here is a pic of it from the net:
I will post some more of mine if you guys want

I'm looking for a cheap thin case that covers the corners and is also slightly raised above the screen, in case I drop it face first the screen will not touch the ground.
I am not even seeing a brand name for this case, but it's cheap, so thinking about getting it.

I have this one I think. Again with no brand name. But I can say that it is a perfectly adequate case for using it on your desk/table however it has a loose fit which when you try to put it in your pocket it wants to come off. Given the price I can't really complain.
thats why they are they have the word cheap in their name lol
$4.00 for the case $5.95 for first class shipping weird

Thanks that helps. I don't want one that is going to try and come off. I found some other cheap ones on Amazon.
I bought a couple from Amazon from the company BoxWave, they're pretty high quality and fit well, have raised edges and come in a few different colors.
http://www.amazon.com/BoxWave-Samsu...3M2K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1329855698&sr=8-1
Couple of questions on the Boxwave unit...
Any chance it will work with a cradle type charging unit? If so, which cradle is recommended?
I am looking at the Hyperion unit and it looks like it might actually work.
I cannot post links yet, but Amazon and "Hyperion galaxy note" should get the job done.
Next question is rather odd...I want to be able to set my phone in a cradle in landscape so the connector will not work (obviously). So is there a cradle that will allow the Boxwave unit to remain in place, AND hold the Note in landscape? I do not care about charging in this configuration, as I will just run a cable to my USB port on my PC or charger.
Thanks in advance

Co-sign...I bought this case and I was surprised at the quality. I'm waiting for an Otterbox or something similar, but this case is a perfect fit for the Note and it looks very nice.
I'm not sure about docking capabilities, but it's very easy to take on and off.
I got this one.....
http://www.ebay.com/itm/220949906490?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Fit very well and took about a week.

I definitely suggest TPU cases. You can get them every bit as cheap, provide similar protection, and will slide in and out of your pocket when you want it to, and will stay there when you don't. Also, due to the snug fit, I have found they allow much less dirt to get inside the case compared to silicone cases, stuf keeping your device scratch free.
I remember that I had a silicone case for my first iPod, a 30gb video, and I was highly disappointed when dust and dirt had scratched the back of my device. Silicone cases don't do much except make your phone grippy. they may defend well against drops, but TPU is just as good and doesn't allow your device to get nearly as dirty/scratched.
Ignore this post.

There doesn't appear to be any cutout, from the picture, so unless these are amazingly thin (which would make them somewhat useless for protection), I don't think they'll work with the dock.
But if they're easy to remove and put back on, they'd be suitable to use when the TP is out of the dock.
Has anyone ordered one of these? Just worry 'bout the quality and fit.
I wonder if they protect enough for a fall, has anyone tried this product?
I would actually like to know how is the fit with the prime, i think with such a big skin the long bezel sides won't be well adjusted to the Prime and might be too loose.
Found them in Amazon Germany, but no reviews yet :/

Will this still fit into the dock?

No. Based on the images of the green-colored case on Minisuit's site it's obvious that the TPU is too thick to fit into the dock. This being the case, I would have preferred that they fully cover the 'lock-in' slots on either side of the power connector, so they don't fill up with dust.
It seems like Minisuit had some engineer design it who didn't know what all the holes where for. BUT I'll stop complaining. A silicone case for $7 (shipping included) is great!

It is kind of remarkable that a company would go to the trouble of manufacturing these, but NOT bother to even see what the ports and opening actually do, to intelligently decide whether or not they need a cut-out?!?
Sheesh.
Worth a shot

I got one of those loose ones... pretty disappointed. I'll try this though, 7 bucks shipped is worth a try. I'll let yall know.

These appear to be the exact same skins just in a different color, which means that the center of the back is likely to be a little bit loose, just like with the black cases.
Mine shipped today, estimated arrival of 5/8. I'll keep ya posted.
Blah
It definitely feels like the same case, however this new one I got seems to fit a little better at the back, with less sag. I'm not sure if it was just a manufacturing difference or what. This case still has the same flimsy feel around the bezel.
My suggestion is to keep looking for another thin silicone case, if you want to give this one a shot it might be worth the 8 bucks though. I'm leaving this minisuit one one for now vs the other one I got off ebay.
Still in the market for a thin non-leather silicone type case. If anyone has seen the HP branded case for the Touchpad, that would be a near perfect case imo, with a magnetic closing mechanism or something.
Edit: After a day or so of use with the minisuit case, I feel like it is basically as good as this skin type case can get without a major overhaul. The back isn't sagging like the original one from ebay did, however the edges are still could be a little tighter (This is where the redesign would come in,) but overall its pretty good. I'm still interested in a slightly thicker version of this, it still doesn't add much protection.
For those interested, a company, BobJ Gear, is coming out soon with a very nice, silicone case for the Transformer Prime.
He's already made cases for the Toshiba Thrive, which gets rave reviews on Amazon, where they are sold.
I was lucky enough to receive one of his prototypes.
This is a tight fitting case, made from food grade silicone, very thick to provide excellent protection! Access to all ports are available. One of the photos below shows you a comparison between the cases soon to be released by BobJ Gear (shown in purple) and the case discussed earlier in this thread (the green case, on top). You'll see there's a noticeable difference in the thickness of the case, and the amount of silicone used to make the case.
This adds a little bit of weight, but provides great protection for the Transformer Prime! Case will also work for the T300, and he's planning to release a case for the T700 down the road!
These should be available end of this month.
Here are a few photos.
