Just purchased this case. Looks beautiful. The makers said their price is higher due to the quality of the leather and stitched seams. From the pictures, looks like the perfect case for me....and has a hand strap on the back! There is a $2.00 coupon code.

looks generic to me...
You could have gotten that exact case off eBay significantly cheaper
I have seen 3 or 4 (or 20) cases exactly like this one on Amazon under different manufacturer names. The most popular are Moko and Poetic. They generally sell around $10-20

Yikes! It covers the bezel.

Thanks opentoe for posting this here as well, and showing me this forum! I hope you know we appreciate this a lot.
Well no better time for caseen's first post here on XDA =). opentoe asked me if the discount was okay for XDA members to use in a PM to me over at the other forum (So he didn't post the code above i guess, I'm sure some people are wondering).
You can use primeforumsblack for $2.00 off the caseen black prime case.
You can use primeforumspink for $2.00 off the caseen true pink prime case.
You can use primeforumsretro for $2.00 off the caseen retro pink plaid prime case.
Link is above in OP's post, as I am sure it is bad form (against rules) for the manufacturer to post links to the products.
In defense of the caseen case product, all the cases linked above are very good for the price! I am always amazed at the quality (and price!) that those dealers can bring in competitive marketplaces like amazon. However, all those cases are made from plastic PU vinyl leatherette material, which has its merits but is significantly less expensive. Our material is genuine leather, and we just released this case to market yesterday night! The case has been in development for over a month, and yes at first glance some design points may be similar to other cases. Rest assured, we do a damn fine job at making sure the fitment is spot on perfect (and I am not knocking the competition, I am sure they have good fitment too). All cases go through a blueprinting, design, and testing process to ensure quality before production. One
Another poster didn't like that the bezel was covered, but this must be the case for a classic stitched design without the use of plastic, and plastic 'shell' type materials. I understand why people do not like bezel surrounds, and we want to make these people happy. We are constantly developing more solutions. I can say that our design team has played around with the idea of shell type cases with more exotic materials like carbon fiber and fiberglass. Hopefully one day we can bring these to market =)
As this is a just released new case product for the Prime, I hope some who had our case for the previous transformer will vouch for the quality of our case. Also I am sure some will vouch for our new prime type as well.
I hope this clears some things up! At caseen we do our best to provide exceptional customer service, feel free to PM or ask any questions and I will gladly answer them.

Using metal clamps covered in PU fake leather I'm not a fan of either. I have the Bluerec case. Once I did finally did get my prime "clampped" down I noticed if I wanted to view it at one of the angle I had to UNclamp the bottom again, and this has to be done everytime. While you can adjust the clamps with some tools it just doesn't hold the tablet like I would like it to. This is why I like the style cases where the tablet slides into a protective pocket and then STAYS there. No need to unclamp or remove it. Using the Bluerex case also, the rear backplate is open and susceptible to scratches. Using a Caseen type case it is always covered, hence no scratches. To each his own...I really like to keep my devices/electronics protected the best possible way...and the clamp style case isn't in that direction.
I love the plaid pink one but I am waiting on a moko one to come this week. Wish I had seen this sooner.
How easy is it to slip in and out?
soft cases
nice one ....you can try some other one also .
This one looks really good. A good deal considering its real leather. THE mono one went up in price at Amazon and is now 25.99. ID rather get this as it has a handstrap also. This will protect the prime better than mono because the bezel covered also. Mono one isn't. So if you had prime in theism case and it fell flat on its face, better chance of surviving vs. Moko one without bezel covered. I'm mean if flap opened on both cases to allow you to see screen. Seriously considering this one now. Are those coupon codes still good? If so, for how long?
Not to sound stupid but what is the bezel? You say these cover up the Bezel and that it's a good thing. Cause if my friend ends up getting the Prime maybe he will buy my Moko and I'll get the pink plaid one. I still want a screen protector and a back clear protector and don't know who to buy from?

Its the surround around the screen.
Thanks I wasn't sure. But now I want this pink case and not my Black Moko one coming tomorrow. I even saw a pink Stylus on Amazon. Never used a stylus with a tablet though and not sure I would need too. But when I do my remote and access my desktop on the tablet that would be good cause I was wanting a blue tooth mini mouse but maybe a stylus will work.
Edit: I just saw on there website free stylus with 20 dollar order wonder if I can get the pink one to match the case. Wonder what the difference is in the skinny pink one and the plaid one that's more expensive. I like the plaid better. Now I wish I hadn't ordered my Moko one. I just called the company and she said I can call back in an hour when there stock person comes in and see if they have a pink stylus and request it with my case. So now I am ordering the pink plaid one I think cause I really like it. She said there the same just the design on the plaid one makes it a little more but the plain pink one says skinny in the description. I hope I like it. My Moko case was 19.99.

I want to order the pink plaid one but only if I can get a pink Stylus and in my cart it's showing a blue one. Is it possible to get a pink one? I called and a lady on the phone said if it's available and I added a pink one to my cart and it didn't say unavailable. Cause I will buy this case if I can get a pink stylus. I like the plaid one. The other pink one says skinny in the name is there a difference between the two or is just the plaid one is more cause of the design? Thanks!

This case is not hard to slip in or slip out. All you do is unhook the tab inside and you can easily slide the case from near the charger port area.

That hole we added that you might not see elsewhere is to give more flexibility to our open charge port tab. Gives the leather more flexibility to stretch and breathe in that confined area.

Thanks So Much! Now what to do when they deliver my Black Moko one tomorrow. Anyone on here want to buy it? I'll probably just see if I can not accept it and return to sender. That pink plaid one is just too pretty! Does anyone on here no the return policy of the Moko one I ordered from Amazon? Guess I'll go there and lool/

Opentoe to you actually have the case yet? I just ordered tonight when I got home from work which was a bit ago. I was looking into a mini bluetooth mouse but now I am thinking and hoping this Stylus will work. Only for when I do Splashtop remote and want to access my pc on the tablet it's hard to touch the right spot and I was going to order a bluetooth mouse. But now I am hoping I can get by using the Stylus. Can't wait to get this case? Does it fold back so you can use it? I think someone asked but don't remember if it got answered. Thanks!

Just wanted to give you guys and gals a heads up about a new case. It's made by Seidio and looks and feels great on the phone. Adds a bit of bulk to the phone but comes with the holster. I'll try and get some pics up later tonight after the little one goes to bed. It goes for $34. 99 retail. My Best Buy got it in today so they should start being available soon.
Edit... Couple of pictures... Sorry the quality sucks.

The best buy platinum series cases are garbage in my opinion. They're the lowest quality case on the market. They're thick and look cheap. They remind me of the chinese cases they used to mass-produce for the clunkers in the 90s. This is one of Best Buy's most profitable skus in the store, so they hock the hell out of them.
Seriously though, this line is about the worst on the market. They beat the hell out of the back of your phone, and they're so incredibly thick, and have absolutely zero aesthetic charm. There are soooo many better cases and more worthey companies you can support, and get better protection from.

I bet you look like I did in best buy when I tried one on my phone and couldn't get it off. It took a long time and a few sales associates to figure it out.
Use something small and sharp to slide in the minuscule crack along the backside where it joins. Then push that tool down to un-notch it.
That was enough of a PITA for me not to buy the case.

I couldn't disagree any more. The cases are manufactured by Seido which has an excellent reputation online for quality cases. It is their "surface" case rebranded. I will say that the all black color is kind of plain and may not have the "charm" you desire, however I like the simple look. They have felt inside the case to protect the phone from scratching so I'm not sure why you stated it beats up the phone.
To each his own as they say...

this isnt the only case hard to remove. the otterbox cases are just as hard ive had it on 3 different phones the iphone, captivate, and the atrix 4g. u will have just as much trouble and the outside skin covering the hard case on the otterbox will stretch to where it wont stay on. the platinum seidio case i had on my nexus was 10x better than otterbox and the same price and had 3 layers of protection versus 2 for otterbox.
I have had this case for about a month now and love it. I've tried a bunch of cases including the armor shield and I keep coming back to this case. I think its incredibly light and adds almost no bulk. Plus the holster is awesome. The back is a little tricky to get off but after you find the right place to apply pressure to its easy. Took me a few tries but I can unsnap it no problem now. I do like the snap it makes it feel secure.
One note, don't try and put and armor suit on your phone then put it in this case. It will not come back out without some serious prying. I actually am impresses the case is still fully functional with no scratches or anything after I practically had to pry it from the sides of the phone.

I have used Seidio cases/holsters on my smart phones for the last 5 years. On Black Friday, I went to BestBuy and bought 2 case/holster combos for $45. One of these is $49 on the Seidio site. So now, when the holster spring cracks in 6 months, I still have a spare. Quick review.... The case is snug, fits perfectly, has all the correct cutouts, and is secure. And it is easy to get on or off once you get the "feel" for the clip on the back. The holster build quality is the best I have ever had from Seidio. They clearly are improving their product. I have no concerns of it falling off my belt, or popping out of the holster. And it is still easy enough to get the phone out with one hand.
I just got this case/holster at Best Buy today.
I've been a Seidio fan for several years now, this is my 3rd Seidio holster. The previous ones (for HTC Kaiser and HTC Rhodium) didn't require a separate case - they just held the phone "naked". I do like that this case has holes for both the I777 and the international version's placement of the noise-canceling mic.
But ... yeah, it's a bugger to remove the case from the phone until you get the hang of it.
For giggles, I tried out my SGP Neo Hybrid EX bumper case with the Seidio holster - it fits like a glove, so that's another option.
Cool, what kind of screen protector that you have on your phone?
Just got this case from Amazon:

while I was looking for a case of my own. Since the Amazon one is out of stock, it seems like an alternative.

It looks great and the size is perfect - compact and slim. How does it feel in hands - solid? Does it block the mic hole at the top?

Looking at the pics, it looks like the NT would snap into it at the four corners rather than any edges. The NT's mic is a small hole at the top of the device, offset from the center. I doubt this case would block it.
[Edit]
Sorry, I should check the reply more closely before posting. I was looking at the one from Best Buy.
This is the one I picked up. It's pretty nice, a couple of different angles to stand the NT up, and it surrounds the whole thing, so it's pretty secure.
edit: I'm not allowed to post links yet, but search on amazon for crazy on digital's folio case for the Nook Color
This may seem like a dumb question, but can you stand it up in portrait mode with this case?

Well i just bought one from amazon. It will be hear Wednesday. I will Take pictures, and write a in-depth review on it by next Friday. I will probably be buying a couple cases, and writing reviews to help people make their decision. Im starting with this one because it has the holes for speaker in it. Which is an important feature.

i have the nook color version from this same company and i love it...it looks very nice and very comfortable and has at least 4 viewing angles but only in landscape mode.no portrait mode viewing.

This one looks great but expensive. $34.99 . Hope I can find one better... $34.99...

ordered this before I even saw your post.
Got it, hate it. No way to really fold the cover back and use it in portrait mode. Cover doesn't close flush with the nook.
Really nice quality leather.
If you case closes flush with the nook then I might be wiling to get a replacement and see if this one is defective but I don't think the magnets are strong enough/the groves to hold it in portrait prevent it from closing flush.
Just got the Speck Fitfolio in black. It fits very well and does not make it feel bulky at all. They have also extended the "vegan leather" on the back over the hard shell making it look far nicer.
Ok I purchased this case. Like the feel of it and its not too bulky. BUT, whatever chemicle they used to coat the leather absorbed into the bezel of my nooks rubber paint coating and caused a brown spotted discoloring.... I tried to clean it with alcohol and other cleaning products but its absorbed in the coating ... im pretty pissed to be honest. I just orders a skinomi woodgrain skin to cover the damage up, and plan on taking pictures and contacting the case manufactor to have them buy me a new nook! WARNING TO ALL!
I purchased this case
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005MZ35NM/..._am_us?ie=UTF8
I've had it for about 3 weeks but haven't used it due to a very
strong chemical smell. The smell transferred to my hands after unpacking the case.
I've been waiting for the smell to go away before using it but after reading posts regarding damage the Nook finish I may never use it.
At the time I purchased my Nook I also picked up a B&N case that was discounted 30%. It's much better quality, I really like clips that hold it in place. Very quick and easy to pop the Nook in and out. The B&N case was approximately $10 higher cost but I feel it's higher quality case and worth the cost difference.
Any body have an idea if this kind of sleeve can be found for the TF201 ???
Had the original Ipad and this thing was perfect. Slim, bullit proof, and very easy to handle...

It definitely won't fit. I have the Prime and I have an iPad1 with this case. The Prime is less wide and longer than the iPad. They're completely different dimensions.
I too would love a case like this for the Prime. If anyone finds one, please share.
Seems like any sleeve style case for the 11" macbook airs will work though. Gonna go to the store this weekend and try some out.

that's a huge case.
Looking for something WAY slimmer.
I would say alot like the transleeve, but that also covers the back.
Something thin!!

Yep, most of these cases seem to be sufficient to protect against a nuclear blast. I just want something convenient (ie. not a sleeve) that will give basic protection against scratches when it's in my bag.
Has anyone tried Asus' official sleeve that they made for the original Transformer on the Prime? It looks very similar to the official ipad 1 sleeve.

Wish they made one that held a bluetooth keyboard so It would open up like a the dock.
I was looking for something similar and decided on this.

While I still want something made of the iPad 1 case's thin material that "hugs" the tablet, this one does appear to be a little thinner than other leather cases I've seen.
I found the original Asus case, just like the Ipad 1 case that is very thin that someone is talkiing about above. Since it is somewhat "strechy" for lack of a better word, and they are cm's apart in size (a little taller, thinner, and not as
long), and its a tight fit on the tf101, I'm hoping it will work.
I also want something thin, there is no use to buy the thinnest tablet (or phone) out there and put a "case" on it that is huge. I want protection, not drop proof.
I get mine in 2 days and will report back if this and wifi works!!

I looked back, I got the one in the first post, I don't want the bezel covered, my hand resting on something, thick, etc. So I'm really hoping that one fits.
http://www.amazon.com/Targus-EcoSmart-Messenger-Motorola-TBM022US/dp/B0046SNNRY
I found this case while shopping in Target. It fits the Prime and the Keyboard dock very well. The Prime is a little snug on the one side but the keyboard dock fits like it was made for it on the other. I also like it because of the the 2 additional zippered pockets for stuff. I'll post a couple pics after dinner.
I paid 24.95 at the Target store near me but can't find it online for less than the 31.99 Amazon is charging. Walmart was 39.99 on line.
Edit: Those pics show it pretty good. Where they show the tablet sticking out, there's plenty of room in front of it that's divided by a fairly thick padded liner. It just fits the tablet and the dock really good and doesn't slide around.

dude that's a friggin suitcase.
Lets put it this way. You still use condoms with the old lady ? I want it condom thick. Covering both back and front, LIKE THE IPAD1.
Like someone here said before, I didn't buy the thinnest thing around to carry it in a cart with wheels.

crap. That would've been perfect....
Honestly, to one point, I don't mind the screen not being covered. I mean, it will NEVER SCRATCH....
Good point. Can't add much to that.

I'm going to return my Transleeve. It's just not as cool or useful in practice as it seemed in theory.
Can you help me decide on a replacement?
My main goal is to be able to protect and prop up the Prime when I'm at work or traveling, and to be able to take it out of the case easily when I home. At home I just hold it in bed, or on the comfy chair, without the case.
I think the better choices for me given my preference is a case that holds the tablet with clips, rather than have leather or fake-leather covering the bezel. That just makes it thicker, right?
So I think my best choices are the:
1. Moko slim-fit - $12.98
amazon -dot- com/gp/product/B0063Q3G3I/
or the
2. Vipertek premium slim - $7.98
amazon -dot- com/gp/product/B006OZTNIK/
Is this right?
If anyone has experience with either, please reply. Do the clips hold on tight enough?
Any other advice or choices? What about "Premium quality PU leather" (Moko) vs. "100% Premium Litchi Grain Mark Leather" (Vipertek)?
Thanks.

Thanks, Dr. J for posting the links. I'm working on getting my posts up.
I ended up ordering tonight the Poetic version, since it was in stock, and the TF-101 version had good reviews. Free shipping from the seller was nice too.
And, just as I clicked confirm on the case purchase, my Prime buzzed to tell me that my Ice Cream Sandwich order had arrived - 8 minutes early.

which poetic one did you get?
I am having problems picking a case. I ordered some 19.99 Moko case from here http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006BU4TQY/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details
Then cancelled it and found some purple one for 12.99 from same company but I didn't like they way the stand was in the back and someone said it didn't stand very well. So now I don't know what to get but a few people I have heard have either gotten Verteek or Poetic.
http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Transfor...3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1326255672&sr=1-3
My tablet will be here tomorrow so I am going to order one here soon just not sure what. I don't know what is better the ones where the tablet clips on or where it slides in and doesn't clip on. I am so confused on what to get. I kind of like this one for 11.99 http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Dual-Vie...1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1326216758&sr=1-1 And come Feb they will make that one in purple but I can't wait that long.

I ordered the Poetic "StandBook Stand Leather Case with Angle Adjustable".
It's due early next week.
I think other posters may be right - these cases that look similar on Amazon are actually identical and come from the same Chinese manufacturer.
i really like these angle adjustable cases anyone have any experience with the keyboard dock and these cases? is there a case similar that works well with dock?? I don't have the dock yet but should have it soon and am trying to figure out what case to order thx in advance
Like incase, speck, ect... that cover the back? This would be awesome.
I too yearn for such an accessory.
I searched the TFP Accessory forum using the search function, and this yielded no desirable results.
I've seen people with iPads have nice tight fitting hard cases and I am jealous.
For now I mostly want something that I can use along with my keyboard dock, and something to prevent my TFP's back from scratching on the surface of desks (even the smallest grain of salt will do damage) when I am taking notes.. and hope I do not drop it unless its its the carrying case.
I plan to just get this
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006ZPPC1G/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=A127GCSIQ9QZ6G
It fits the keyboard and will prevent stuff from scratching the surface.. Won't do much for impacts though
until then..
Shoot, thats what I thought. I did get a skinomi I just hope I can get something to cover the back from small bumps...it always tends to happen

Lol, that is a generic case. "For the transformer prime". Nice try tho
I bought this hard case:
eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace
Internal dimensions now that I have it in my hand are:
Case: 26.8cm x 19.1cm x 3-4cm
Prime: 26.3cm x 18.1cm x 2cm
As you can see, it's a pretty close fit in theory. Have to wait 5 days before I get my Prime to confirm it's a good fit.

There is a long thread about them. There are several brands and several of us have tried emailing, but as far as I know, none are ready or made yet. I will search for the thread, but one brand is Gumdrop, another is ....... ah heck, I can't remember, I'll go look
I emailed gumdrop, they make one for the og, but I've not heard back from them.

I jsut couldn't think of the name, I have one on my damn phone.
doh!
No, simply put there are no hard cases special designed to perfectly fit the prime. For scratch protection however, I recommend a Skinomi.
Why not just buy a nice leather case where the tablet sits in all the time? Don't even have to expose the outside shell.
Thanks guys. Yes, an exact-fit hard shell is what I'm looking for. Seems like there aren't any. I have a skinomi. I really want a hard shell. I'll keep waiting.

I'm not a fan of having an ultra slim, beautifully made device and keeping it in a case all the time.
I like to feel my tablet or phone in my hands and just use a case for transportation purposes.
I know you said you where looking for a hardshell type case, but I found these. They cover the back with a cover for the keyboard as well.

That case does not allow the use of a keyboard.
Any updates on AN ULTRA SLIM SHELL HARDCASE that is actually "for sale". I've run across a few in development? Anybody?
If you look for "sikai leather case tf201" on Amazon, the case I'm going to order next week there looks pretty good. I would post a link, but I am too new to the forum.
I'm planning on getting one of these. I live in Okinawa, Japan but will be coming back to the states next week, so I plan on ordering it for when I think I'll get there. It has a leather cover, and a hard plastic back part of the case, and fits with the dock. I have been waiting for some time on a developer in the forum to take his very promising hard case to "beta" or to just plain old buy one off of him, but I am tired of waiting for a good hard case. I think I'm just going to get one of these. I'll post a review once I get this and have a couple days of observation. I'm currently using a cheap,faux leather case which doesn't look bad. However, it offers little protection from falls and is beginning to tear apart.
