I just got a transformer last week and I really don't like any of the folio cases available but want to have some kind of protection for when I throw it in my bag. So I was looking into sleeve cases on amazon but reading the reviews people were saying they didn't fit too well, having 1-2" of space so it moves around a lot. Are there any sleeves out there that are specifically made for the transformer or at least fit it decently?
Hmm, maybe I'm cheap but for that, I'd probably just pad it with a towel or a custom cut piece of foam.

I have this one. Fit the TF perfectly + some pockets for accessories.

the asus transformer is 27.1cm by 17.7cm I believe and surprisingly when I was looking for cheaper opinions on ebay it was the cheap as chips option that seemed to be sized as best 'fitted' for the asus's dimensions (in my opinion at least)

I suppose if it works for what a person needs it for don't knock the 'cheap as chips' ness factor of it!

That's exactly what I was looking for, you have that case then?
I bought this one. Fits perfectly. Adds a zipper side pocket for the charger. Handles have velcro to keep the together. Has 2 plastic pouches inside made for SD cards. The handles come in handy if carrying other things.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Neopr...ltDomain_0&hash=item4cfbac6575#ht_1902wt_1189
Plus it is super cheap. The quality is about 8/10 as the zippers are just a little tough. For the price it can't be beat.
@ FlyingToilets - yes, I've just bought that one as extra extra protection - you can't really going too wrong with something that costs 2 quid
I've also bought this one as a main case (http://www.yourpoetic.com/android-t.../black-slimbook-asus-eee-cases-and-covers.asp) for about £13 at amazon as the main case (the other case I plan to house the asus+portfolio case and a stylus)
I really wanted to get this one (http://www.yourpoetic.com/android-t...ducts/black-red-asus-eee-cases-and-covers.asp) but it is a bit too much in the uk currently
I've only just ordered these so I don't know how good they will be but I'll try and let you know when they arrive!
I got this one for my Transformer and I love it!
Blurex (cant post links yet), just google blurex asus transformer case
Its slim, fits nicely, and feels great. It also lets me easily attach the keyboard while its open, but its not quite large enough to close around while the keyboard is attached and closed, which I don't really mind.
I just picked up a Transformer on Friday night, so just wanted something cheap for the time being to carry it in. There was a sleeve in the Best Buy ad today so I decided to pick one up. I'm very happy with it for $6.
I can't post links yet, but either look at the BB ad or search their website for "HP sleeve" and you'll find it.
I bought that el-cheapo ebay case.
1) Fit - it fits the transformer very well indeed. The long dimension is just right, absolutely would not want to be any less as it's a bit tight to flip the lid on. The short dimension is just fractionally more than would be a really tight fit, but it's so close that you really could regard it as made for the transformer (tab only, I doubt it would fit with the dock).
2) Finish - not so great. Seriously, what do you expect for the price? Within about 3 days some stitching gave way on the red piping , leaving it coming loose from the neoprene. I have repaired it by hand as at the price it really is not worth arguing it out with the seller.
3) Both of the above combine to mean that you need to be careful putting the case on and taking it off your tablet, as it's easy to pull the lid too hard and potentially break some stitching as you stretch the lid over the end of the tablet.
Overall... I am looking for a messenger bag style case for my transformer (and not liking anything I've seen except a couple of crumplers that, as much as I love their products, I am not prepared to pay for. In the meantime, this sleeve provides excellent value for my tablet around the living room and in my laptop bag.

I am got this one here and I have been very happy with it. It fits perfectly and allows me to stand it up at an angle.
This thing: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0046SNNRY/.
I have a rooCase coming in next week, but I'm looking for something else for extra padding when I'm traveling and to carry accessories with the tablet.
It looks like this Targus bag should be about the right size, but I was wanting to make sure.
Yes I have one. I got mine at target for around 24 bucks. It is a perfect fit. I imagine the keyboard will fit in the other compartment perfectly but i have no keyboard.
The inside pocket might seem to small but it is very soft and it doesn't take long to stretch making a very snug fit.
It holds my prime and 2 chargers. I don't have a need to carry more but there is room for it.
I 100% recommend this bag.
Yeah, I saw it at Target a couple of hours ago for that price, which is why I asked. Thanks for the review!
I have it as well and second the perfect fit. When the dock is attached to the tablet it fits next to the inside pocket. When their separate, the tablet fits in the pocket and the dock fits right next to it. The padding is soft and not excessive. I included some pics for you. There's also room for the charger in the outside pocket and of course a cloth for the fingerprints.
I also paid 24.00 at Target but couldn't find online for that price. I 100% recommend
I almost bought it several times in the month ( felt like months) wile my prime was preordered. Then my wife bought me one for Christmas though I still had a bit of a wait. It is perfect for travel. It feels like it was made for the prime.
I picked up this at Best buy. Had some rewards points that needed to be used
http://www.amazon.com/Targus-CityGe...1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1326572391&sr=1-1-catcorr
It fits it well and it has the two compartments which fit it nicely if I detach the keyboard they can both be separated and protected if I choose or it fits fine as one piece. It has extra pockets on the inside for my mouse, cables and charger.

I got this one. It looks exactly the same but the two compartments are supposedly a little bigger than the one you posted. Yours is the TSM148US while mine is the TSM097US. It's a little cheaper too.

Check out this review:
Perfect for my ASUS Eee Pad Transformer and its keyboard dock, June 8, 2011
By L. Paquin (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
This review is from: Targus CityGear Netbook Case for up to 10.2 Inch Netbooks- Black and Grey TSM097CA (Personal Computers)
I have been looking around to find a good mean to carry my ASUS Eee Pad Transformer tablet around and its Keyboard/Docking Station but not necessarily always docked. Most netbook carrying bag only have one padded compartment to put the netbook. I was looking for one which had two sections so that I can leave them undocked to quickly pull the tablet alone quickly (as opposed to pull the docked tablet, undock and then put the keyboard back in the bag).
Last weekend, I brought my Transformer and the keyboard dock and went shopping around for that perfect bag. I found the Targus CityGear Mini (TSM148US) and tried it. The form factor was definitively what I was looking for but one of sub-sections was a little tight. I still decided that it would work for me and that it might strech a little over time. Then, when I looked on Amazon, I saw that there was this model, the Targus CityGear Netbook Case for up to 10.2 Inch Netbooks (TSM097US), which had pretty much the same specs but was cheaper (always a good thing). So, I decided to try it.
I received today and quickly opened it. It is pretty much the same as the one I tried last weekend but the two sub-compartments are bigger. So, no need to strech them and they work out of the box. It is a great way to carry my tablet docked or not to the keyboard. The side pockets of the bag also offer enouch space to carry the charger (it is pretty small anyway) and also my Arkon Portable Fold-Up Stand (great stand for this tablet BTW).
So, all-in-all, I highly recommend this tablet. I had been searching for recommendations for the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer and did not find anything that stroke me. This is why I thought of writting this detailed review (and I will post pictures) for my fellow Transformer owners!

This case looks pretty cool. How much storage space is there in the other slot? Is it enough to carry say a mouse, charger, and sixaxis?
I bought this one.

It works for the most part just will for a little more pocket space in the other spots.
I have been looking for a new case for my Sony Tablet S, and I have seen a few people with the ZaggFolio, It’s a case, Bluetooth keyboard and stand all in one but made for the IPAD2.
http://www.zagg.com/accessories/zaggfolio-ipad-2-keyboard-case
I did some searching and was able to then find the Kensington folio for universal 10 inch tablets. I went into best buy sadly the top part of the Sony tablet S is too thick for the holders and this case does not work either.
http://www.kensington.com/kensingto...niversal-bt-keyboard-case-for-10-tablets.aspx
Does anyone know any cases like this for the Sony tablet, Or know of a good combination of a Case and keyboard? (I don’t want to have to take my cradle every place I go and I would love a case that holds everything and is still easy to carry in my hand)
Here an Amazon.com link
Hi,
I bought a Moko case (really nice, only gripe it blocks the IR signals, so have t take case off when using the remote feature).
Here's a link with some other accessories you may like:

I didn't like that case and returned it to Amazon, I felt where the sides and top come together the stitching made it stick out too much.

It looks like rooCASE Executive Portfolio (Black) Leather Case Cover might do what I need, but I don't know it it would fit a Bluetooth keyboard inside. Really want I want is a case to hold my Tablet and a keyboard (I found a keyboard that is about the size of a cell phone I could use) as well put my tablet on an angle.
Also looking for a case
Hey there,
I am very interested in finding a keyboard case, so I can use it to take notes at school.
My searching has got me nowhere but sad:
http://www.squidoo.com/best-cases-for-sony-tablet-s#module155742916
and
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2I0JKZ6UCw
But nowhere to buy the product from.
I saw this case for the TFP from minisuit and was wondering if anyone was using it. It says it allows for the keyboard to be attached while the tablet is still in the case.
http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Transfor...4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1329771405&sr=1-4
seems interesting
$14 bucks, seems decent to try
i ordered one
will report when i get it
curious how well it fits and protects the dock. Appears to be a slim option. Unfortunate it comes from minisuit as they take very very long to ship. Over 10 days in both of my instances
Anybody actually using this one? I noticed that they changed their advertising for it recently. It no longer lists the cutout for the keyboard...
The Google cache version of the site can be brought up to show the old wording. (Can't post links yet)
this case doesn't protect the dock, it just allows dock use since the bottom clips can be detached, which allows you to slide it into the dock. I don't own this, but I own a case that is exactly the same.
This is the exact same case as the Moko/poetic/vipertek versions:
http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Slim-Fit-Multi-Angle-Transformer-10-1-Inch/dp/B0063Q3G3I/
http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Stand-Leather-Angle-Adjustable/dp/B006PWGESY/
http://www.amazon.com/VIPERTEK-Premium-Leather-Transformer-10-1-Inch/dp/B006OZTNIK/
These are made by some factory in China and Moko/Minisuit/Vipertek/Poetic/etc just buy a big lot of them, brand them with their logo and sell them as their own. Good price on it though and a more established brand name than some of the other no-names rebranding this case, so it seems like a win/win.
With regard to the keyboard being used with the case on, many have reported that the keyboard can be used with the case on. The dock rests on the top of the leather lip and it makes it a tiny bit more top heavy than it already is but if you have your hands on the dock typing it doesn't really matter. You can fold the case backwards to prevent it from resting on the lip but you need a fair amount of desk space for that to be an option.
Just ordered mine...should be here in a few days!
For the last few weeks I have been using my Padfone X quite often. It has become a conversation piece. Most people get stunned when they see a phone that transforms into a tablet. Not too sure why the market is not flooded with devices equal to or similar to this but its a shame that ATT no longer offers this model. I have no regrets for this purchase.
I was put on recently about a huge blowout sale ATT had on the Incipio Folio cases now going for $10 on the ATT store. These folio cases normally ran for $70, and yet most of us cannot conjure purchasing a neoprene cover for such a price that does really nothing to protect the device and the phone other than give it a "more professional look".
The folio case has been going on strong so far, jumping right into it here are the pros and cons:
PROS:
-Comes in various colors to match your preference
-Gives the device a real professional tablet feel
-Folio flap is very tough and will do a good job protecting the station screen
-The included phone folio matches the look of the station folio and gives the phone a sturdy feel
-When the flap is extended it can keep the Padfone station upright at about a 45 degree angle
-It does what it is
CONS:
-It is only one of the two foolio cases available, the ASUS branded case is still going for $60
-Power button is kind of stiff after putting the case on
-Tablet does not detect when the folio flap is closed
-Cannot use the ASUS Padfone Bluetooth keyboard in combination with the Folio case, however can be kept seperate and still work.
-The phone folio case has to be placed on with a special passive adhesive over the original padfone back cover, should you wish to remove it, you'll have to buy another one to place on if you do.
-Orientation is a bit difficult in panorama mode when wanting to keep the station upright, flap does not flip back 180 degrees, only 45 degrees. Its almost like youre forced to keep the padfone upright, despite the cameras placement which is not exactly upright friendly.
I am not gonna complain much because of two factors, its a folio case and I got it for $10 and it was the cheapest licensed folio available. Not too many accessories for the Padfone X, but if youre looking for a cheaper alternative to the ASUS branded folio, this is the way to go
I took a Dremel to mine and got the back cover to work with the keyboard. Obviously, this means the screen cover flap had to go. It's good enough to keep fingerprints off of the station when in laptop mode and still protects it from surface scratches. I went ahead and ordered a second $10 Incipio set to swap the station into in case I feel like leaving the keyboard at home.

There's photos on the AT&T website, quite representative.
Also I don't think the tablet can detect when the folio flap is closed even for the official ASUS case, there's just no sensor (magnetic or proximity) in the tablet body.
I just received mine yesterday, also for $10 shipped. I agree 100% with all the observations.
So, I ended up with the official ASUS PadFone X Folio Bundle and thought I'd do a compare and contrast.
First off, I don't know why I didn't think of it before but it is obvious now that the ASUS Folio for the phone is an add-on (versus a back cover replacement) due to the added cost of adding NFC and PMA antennas/receivers, which are attached to the inside of the back cover.
Continuing on with the phone folio, the ASUS Folio replaces the original back cover. Interestingly enough, it must be specific to the PadFone X because it retains the AT&T logo. The front flap has an ASUS logo and a cutout for the earpiece, so that a phone call can continue with the cover closed.
In regards to the PadFone X Station folio, the ASUS Folio has cutouts on the front flap for the front-facing speakers. In addition, the sides are fully covered where the Incipio leaves the sides exposed. The ASUS folio covers the volume and power buttons but does not require any additional pressure, unlike the Incipio cover. On the back, the ASUS Folio also protrudes a little because it covers the bottom of the dock where the phone connects, while the ASUS leaves that exposed. This makes the Incipio a little more sturdy when you fold the front flap back all the way to act as a stand. Finally, the ASUS Folio's front flap has three sections, while the Incipio is just one sturdy piece.
The last difference is the primary reason why I am sticking to the original ASUS Folios.
Does anyone know if the wireless qi charging works with the incipio phone back cover? Thx

Unless the cover is metallic, it will work. Metal will disrupt the charging capabilities and can sometimes hurt wireless chargers. Pretty sure this is not a metal case.
EDIT:
Now I understand your question - the incipio brand is a replacement back cover too - which means it probably doesn't have the metal leads or powermat receiver built-in.

It's not a replacement, just an additional stick-on. Should work. Only worry is the increased distance from the charger.
I just tested the official wireless charger's distance, and it works while about half an inch away - I guess as long as the wireless pad you're using is a Powermat standard then it should be NO PROBLEM. I didn't test to see the limit of the wireless charger, but I know that the Qi standard is less powerful. Powermat devices like the Asus Padfone X/S can still charge with Qi but it's been my experience that Qi chargers only work about 1/4th of an inch away or less - and they charge much more slowly.
Just don't get metal in between the charging pad and the phone and you're okay.
