HP WV594AA 10.2" neoprene sleeve originally for an HP Mini
Just picked up one of these today off the shelf at Best Buy and it fits my Transformer Prime + keyboard dock like a dream. Snug but not overly tight. The front pouch is also nice to carry extra tidbits. I like to store the tablet attached to the dock but some of the other sleeves were a little too tight. This one is perfect and the zipper closes smoothly without too much extra wiggle room.
Amazon link will be added soon when I am able to post outside links per XDA rules.
Just thought I would let everyone know in case they need a relatively cheap high-quality sleeve.
I also picked this case up yesterday and as the OP states, it's a great little case for the prime/dock. Amazon link provided below and you save 9 dollars ordering from amazon than from picking it up at Best Buy. Of course... then there is shipping.

I've been using my 7" Acer one sleeve for mine.
It is a great sleeve for the TF201, but it stretches out and doesn't fit very well after a couple months of use.
Does anyone know of a good fitting sleeve that has a handle on it? I think the reason my HP sleeve has stretched is because I carry it around under my arm quite a bit.
BUILT makes a sleeve pouch that's called the envelope. It has a main pouch that fits the tablet and keyboard perfectly and also has a front pocket for your accessories. I've been using it for several months now and enjoy it. They also make a version with an over shoulder strap. Both are for sale on Amazon last I checked.
Edit. Its made from Hugh quality neoprene wet suit grade material. Quite stretchy!

I'm kinda liking this one because of the shoulder strap and the clear front. Since I wouldn't use it near water, I wish they had a similar one made from leather or neopreme.

It's nice and only has about a 1/4" of play on the width, but the length is just right. Best fit I could find for this enigma of a tablet.

edit: Should note that this is more of a sleeve than a case, sorry for not being clear.
will check that out
I will check that out. I wish they had a gel skin!
more of a sleeve than a case. Good find though but i will stick to the gtablet one from sears for $5.

You are right Scott, I have changed my original post.
I couldn't find the Sears case anywhere, so I went hunting.
I saw these cases in person at a local Best Buy store. They are very nice quality padded neoprene cases... much thicker neoprene than the cheap cases on eBay and at Meritline. I didn't have my GTab with me at the time, but it crossed my mind that the case may be a perfect fit for my GTab. I believe they were $19.99 at the store so it seems cheaper online.
Wtang: it has a very nice fit.
They honor the online sale price in store, picked mine up today
FYI, amazon has this product too, for less.

Thanks. Will have to check it out next time I am at BB.
Nice ... I got used to my plain black/red Meritline sleeve for my Dell Vostro A9 netbook, and am looking fo rsomething simple and similar. Thanks!
Checked it out at my local Best Buy, the fit was perfect! I'd also agree that the neoprene padding is solid and not flimsy.
Another alternative sleeve would be the "Incase Neoprene Netbook Sleeve - Black - CL57365," also at BB (couldn't post links, sorry). I had my gTablet with me while trying out the sleeves, so I can confirm that the fit was snug for both. Like the OP said, length was perfect, and not too much slack on the width so the gTablet won't slide around. The Incase also had a white faux-fur lining inside.
Ultimately, the zippered storage pocket on the HP sleeve and the fact that Amazon sells it for $10 won me over.
I will try to post some photos of the HP sleeve when it arrives. Thanks OP!
Hey, I was wondering if anyone has bought the G-Form case and have seen if it fits or not for the transformer prime? I would love to get some feedback on anyone who has!!
I would love it to fit this
http://g-form.com/product/extreme-portfolio/
If that doesn't fit, then I assume this would work, right?
http://g-form.com/product/extreme-sleeve-for-laptops/
thanks so much for your guys help!!
I had ordered the iPad 2 extreme sleeve from G-Form before I go the tablet in. Well got my Prime and dock in, and they both fit. Yes, the iPad 2 case is a tight fit, but since the zippers are also lined on the interior, there is no scratching; like I said it just barley fits, but it still does zip close for a nice snug fit.
http://g-form.com/product/ipad-extreme-sleeve2/
I went ahead a ordered a 11" laptop sleeve from them today as well, as I have also ordered a fitted leather folding case off of Amazon, and the increased dimensions are going to make it to big for the iPad 2 extreme G-form sleeve.
I watched the video on youtube about the extreme portfolio, in which they are using a Samsung 10.1 galaxy tab, instead of a ipad, and it worked just as well. They said the extreme portfolio should work on any 10" tablet... the only reason I didn't go with that, when I placed my second order today, was b/c you have to bend the edges down to attach plugs, usb, etc.
Here's the youtube video:
All in all these are great products that will protect the hell out of your expensive new toy.

This was a great reply. THANKS!! I would love to get the Extreme Edge case for the prime, but I can't imagine what would happen if I dropped this thing on a rocky floor on the front portion of the tablet :O Can you update me how the tablet fits in the laptop case? I'd feel better having more room on the case. Is the portfolio case that you were talking about that case that can also be zipped up so the front can also be covered? that would be amazing for me!
What is the thinnest folding case available
I am looking for a case for the 300 that is as thin as possible. I really only care about scratch protection, I don't expect it to protect from drops (not that most case will provide that protection anyways). I do need it to have a stand function to watch movies. Since this is already thicker than prime I want to minimize that as much as possible.
Even the cheapie vinyl thin case that came bundled with the Acer a500 at costco would be fine. It was very thin.
The case I have for my ipad2 is tapered at the edges to keep the profile as thin as possible instead of being just squared off at the side edges. In other words, it should wrap around the side edges like a glove.
i just ordered the MOKO slim fit case from amazon. I hope this caters to your needs. it's slim and tough enough to even withstand drops.

decent but not quite what I am looking for. The case you are talking about clips or hooks onto the tablet in about4 to 6 areas (4 corners plus maybe 2 additional top and bottom). It leaves alot of the edge exposed. On th eplus side it is usually a hard back case so decent protetion.
However, what I had in mind is a case that slips all around the edges of the tablet. Most cases are designed like this but except what I have in mind would be slimmer with the edges tapered to match the edge of the tablet but still wrapping the entire tablet (except at the ports). Hard to tell, but I think this case fits that description but it is for tf101 only:

Honestly? I am still waiting for something the like the shell+smartcover that my mom's Ipad has. That really is brilliant stuf.
For now I found this to be the thinnest sleeve/cover/whatever
Urbanflip series on HandiHeldItems
I have one and had to adjust the hole for the headphone jack.
But it works pretty good, is a lot thinner that some other case I bought and has a cut out for the charger.
But an Ipad-like smartcover .. to me that's the bomb

Wow, that's almost exactly what I'm looking for - just with the ability to use it with the dock! They have this one on their site that does just that:
HHI Keyboard Case with Slim Portfolio Stand Cover for Asus Transformer Pad TF300
I have a carbon fiber leather case for my Galaxy Tab 10.1 and won't buy another case unless it's the same material, it looks so slick and resists scratches and hides dirt like no other case. Since getting it, I've taken out the tablet probably 3 times!
Good find!

All 3 of these are pretty much the same and is the thinnest case out in the market:

I also found a similar case on Ebay but it looks slitghtly cheap. I wish it wasn't microsuede:

Have One, Love It
I've had the roocase for 6 months now, and I have to tell you I love it. If you're primary concern is protection, is is superb. The inner sleeve (that the tablet actually fits into) makes it super easy to hold on to. Put it in the main case, prop it up for easy hands free reading or watching a movie.
Just thought I'd share my opinion. These cases used to be really expensive. I'm at work, and they have Amazon blocked so I can't see if it's exactly the same case, but mine is leather. Has zippered outer case, and sleeve that fits inside.

Soft Neoprene Sleeve Zip Case Cover 11.6 - 12.5"inch Chromebook Laptop Netbook Review
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=131282464412&alt=web - 6.99GDP
I purchased this pouch from ebay as I needed something to keep my tablet in whilst I decided what permanent solution I was going to have. I chose red and black but there is different options available.
It came in a large envelope and was not folded. Last time I purchased something this size it was folded and left a nasty fold in the middle.
The pouch is of good quality and my tablet fits in comfortably. The zips feel strong and not like these cheap ones that split open and fall apart.
The pouch is strong enough to keep it free from scratches if you're transporting it in bags and briefcases, however it probably won't protect it from drops and knocks, especially dropping from height. It most certainly won't stop the screen shattering if something was to land on it.
The outside is a soft and smooth stretchy material and the inside is made of something similar except has a slight flocking to it to protect the case of the tablet and screen.
PROS: Cheap and quick solution to keeping your pride and joy safe, good quality, decent zips and materials
CONS: Won't protect from strong knocks and bumps.
I need one of those! Does this Note Pro 12.2 fit tight in there or is it loose? Thanks!
dja2k
It's not so tight as it's hard to close and it's not loose enough for it to move about. But what I have done is take the keyboard from my keyboard case combo and fit them both in the sleeve.
I think comfortable is the word.
Ah nice! Good to see more people using a sleeve Much more practical than a flipcover.
I've got a similar one, but it's from Samsonite, and it's for 13.3 laptops. This one's the one I've got: http://www.samsonite.co.uk/colorshi...13.3inch-dark-brown-turquoise/58130-2079.html
Also fits my keyboard and a ton of other stuff, pictures are in the Accessories thread.
Those aren't sold in the US though, so this is a great option for those who want one.

I am strangely attracted to that. I read in one of your previous reviews or accessories you have a messenger bag from the same people. But at £80 ish it's a pretty large investment. Fair enough ill be protecting my tablet, but will look about for a cheaper version first! But it's definitely on my wish list.

I have something similar to this. It fits well on my tablet. I got mine on ebay for a couple of quid so if it didn't fit then I wouldn't have lost much. If you can take the plunge and write a review. I'm sure others would be interested in your opinion of it.
I have some ebay bucks coming my way on April 1st, so I am gonna hold of til then to order one of these. In the meanwhile I had gotten this one 11.6"/12.1" Black Neoprene Notebook Laptop Sleeve Bag Pouch which will have to do til then. Thanks!
