[Q] Smart Cover on TF300 - Transformer TF300T Accessories

Does the origami-like Smart Cover from Asus for the Transformer Prime works/fits on the Transformer 300? The dimensions of the two tablets are almost the same, so I think it will work... Can anyone confirm this?

interesting cover never seen it before. seem out of stock at amazon and others. do they still make it anymore?

I buyed one on Amazon Germany...
The smart cover fit on the screen an you can put it in the Dock connectors on the Tablet, but it doesnt hold solid on the right Dock connector, so its very easy to pull the cover out of the Connectors. On a Youtube Video with the Transformer prime the Guy hold the Smart Cover and the Tablet hangs on this. With the one i had, the tablet falls down.
In don't know if the Problem was on the Smart Cover or the connectors on the Tablet.

Anybody using this? I seen it at my local Office Depot, and it did fit the TF300T, but I wasn't quite sure about using it until I seen some reviews.

I purchased the cover only to return it. Only 1 hinge would stay connected as mentioned in other posts. I returned it and am now waiting for a new case I purchased on Amazon.

Looks cool. I would buy it but I'm not sure how the magnet would affect the compass and I don't know if I need more protection. At $9.98 it's a great price though. Very tempting. Thanks for showing...
Speakers
It looks to me like it is blocking the speakers ?
Can you verify (or hopefully, not verify) ?
How's the overall quality ?

It doesn't block the speakers. It's the same case as the $25 roocase here:

I've given up on the "wrap around the outside but doesn't cover the beautiful back" silicon case that apparently will never come up. Went ahead and ordered one of these.
Can't you just but a silicone case and cut out the back using a box cutter? Or you looking for something different?

Anyone bought or have this item?
Is there a opening for charging when the cover is close, like Poetic version?
Thanks!
Ya I just bought it about an hour ago, it cost me $8 should be here sometime before friday, I'll let you know how it is, even though it does look like its made from the same people who made the roocase, and vertek. I think all they're doing is stamping their logos on them..

The charging port is covered while it's closed. Someone on Amazon complained about that and a representative of the company responded that it was designed that way on purpose so that the port wouldn't wind up getting damaged while the case was in use.
I just got this case and I must say it is awesome. Excellent quality. Highly recommended.

for $5.99!! Total cost was $10.98 with shipping.
I Love it ! This will hold me over until I can save up enough to get the

Thanks to the guy who pointed me in the right direction and to
Verteks for a great product!

Cases?....

I recently got this tablet, and purchased a leather type of case (the kind you can fold back to prop it up...here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/CaseCrown-Bold-Standby-Case-Asus-Transformer-Pad-BK-/180690088957?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item2a11f7f3fd)...
and now I am thinking that I may like something else better like perhaps a sleeve or a carrying case of some sort, but I do not want anything big or bulky because I picture that I will put it inside of my backpack anyways....
for example, I was currently thinking of one of these, or a variation of...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Sleeve-Case-Bag-Asus-EEE-Pad-Transformer-/130570427400?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item1e669a9c08

I figured the extra pouches can serve as a spot to hold the charger and whatever else accessories I happen to have at the time..
Please give me your opinions and recommendations, I am open to all..
I am also considering the sleeve, I simply want something cheap to protect the device some when I put it inside a suitcase/backpack. Wonder if anyone used these?
I use the Case Logic VNA214 14.1 inch attache, and the AYL Leather Cover Case Folio for Asus Eee Pad Transformer from Amazon.com.
(sorry there are no links, I haven't posted enough yet)
The bag is perfect, holds everything i need with the TF: Bluetooth mouse, charger for TF, charger for phone. Keyboard dock (even when not in use), head phones, notebooks, etc. Main thing I like about the case is that it let's the transformer sit a tad higher so it can use the charger while standing up.
Hope this helps!

My I ask why you bought the VNA214 instead of the VN210 (10 inch) ?
Is VNA214 (14 inch) not to big for it ?
I just ordered a Sling-bag and a sleeve for under $20 USD shipped

I wanted a bigger bag. But the reviews I read on the 10 say the 10 fits the TF just fine. And the 14 fits with room to spare, without seeming to big. I didn't want the 10 because I felt it would be too small for everything I wanted to carry with me, and I felt it might appear as a man purse, which is definitely not my thing! But it would work, I am sure, for a sleeve type replacement.

[Q] Dock bumper missing below touchpad!

Anyone having issues with the bumpers on the docking station? I just notched that the bumper below the touchpad on my dock is missing.
Mine is still there but yeah, you got to watch out. I think they are just glued on. You should find something to put there as a replacement otherwise the dock might start rubbing against your screen.

Good point. I have already contacted ASUS to see if they can just ship me a couple replacement bumpers. If not then back to Amazon it will go.

Dock difference

Am just wonder if each dock matches each model or all the docks are universal cause all the TF have the same form factor and designs.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk 2
each tablet has a matching model dock. there is no universal dock. all devices are slightly different in dimensions. only by the dock that matches your model tablet. ex. prime aka tf201 only should use a dock made for tf201

ah, ok reason i ask is cause best buy had TF101 dock on sale was wondering if i should waste my time and buy one to see if it works i guess its all program in the dock then, sucks wish there was a universal one
there have been reports the 201 can fit in the 301 dock but its a loose fit (so if you have screen protectors AND a protector over the back it might be a good fit), the 300 MAY fit in the 201 dock but it would be very tight (as the 300 is slightly thicker)
The mech in the 101 and 201 is different, unless you opened the dock and removed the locking mech theres no way to get the 201 to fit in the 101 dock. period.
This whole "issue" with the dock not fitting universally is perfect proof that you can't please everyone. If asus made the dimensions of every transformer model the same, then people would cry bloody murder. If asus made improvements in the design by making the later models differently dimension wise, then people would ***** to no avail at how they can't use the old dock on the new tablet.
On another forum, one guy even went as far as saying he will never buy anything asus ever again because he couldn't fit his prime in the tf101 dock and he thought this was a design flaw.
well the 300 could probably fit in the 200 dock if you removed the felt padding... thats what i had to do for my prime because of the screen protector and back protector i have, it does not have the cutouts on it.
And the prime can fit in the 300 dock, its just loose.
Overall Asus DID keep similar sizes however the plastic has to be thicker for structural reasons otherwise the tablet would warp too badly. And the 201 is rediculiously thin as it is, at least they are keeping the dock connector the same so accessories should work across the board.
Anyone try a GPS dongle in a 300 yet?

likely wont work because it doesn't have the software on the 300 to support it. plus the dongle is a tighter fit than 201 dock. probably wont fit unless you mash it in there. might crush the glass since it'll be so tight.

Tried a 360 case?

Can't copy a web browser but eBay tf300 360 and see what you think. I don't care for the 360 feature but I like how these have no tabs that require constant popping in and out. Too bad they aren't on amazon so I can see reviews. Post if you've tried one, where you got it, if you liked it, etc. Thanks.
Anyone?
Looks just like the other ones on amazon like the moko and poetic ones that rotate. What's the differences?

No reviews on those either. I'd like to hear from someone that has one.

Ordered
Hi, just ordered today 360° Rotating Case for Asus Transformer Pad TF300 TF300T Tablet + Stylus E37X ( 221047606532 ) on Ebay...
When received, must be shipped from Hong Kong to the Netherlands... so will be here in some weeks :angel:
When received, i'll put some experiences here :good:
I have this case on my tf300. It does make the tablet bulkier, but i like the fact i can have it rotate 360. The quality is alright, i guess standard fake leather. I can use the dock with it, i just need to fold the cover all the way.

Can't post an outside link but Amazon has a Moko 360 made for the TF300.
I bought this case same time as the TF300. Cutouts are all there and in the right place. Really holds the tablet inside so there's slim/zero chance of it slipping out. Well built, sturdy, top-heavy when the tablet is at highest angle portrait but I'd never use it that way. 3 detents to hold at three angles could be a little more pronounced but they do the job.
If I buy another tablet I would look for this case for it.
Same here. Just received, TF300T fits perfectly...
