Selling g tab

I thought I'd be mesmerized by my new g tablet - but I'm not. Without going into a lot of detail, one very new, out of box (but have box) ViewSonic g tablet, not modified in any manner. There is a skinomi black rear protective skin, a front skinomi screen protector (you might want to change it as there are a few bubbles as well as two or three yellow lab dog hairs), a brand new black "Clip" case (from our very own electronic crap) and a nice little black carrying bag (from amazon). The tab has no scratches and is in excellent condition. I've only had it a couple of weeks. All this $285 includes paypal fees and shipping to continental US ONLY.

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.

I read a review on Amazon from a member here at XDA. I won't use his
name because he might not like it. But, I just got this from Verteks
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
keyboard dock.
Thanks to the guy who pointed me in the right direction and to
Verteks for a great product!

Transleeve or regular leather case?

Does anyone have the Transleeve smartcover yet and the tablet? can the smartcover fold completely backwards like simply opening a book cover and folding the cover all the way back (to the metal back side of the tablet?)
The videos only show it being folded to different positions to be used on top of a table or flat surface... my questions is, does the cover get out of the way when you just want to hold the tablet while surfing on the couch? ... or will it need to be pulled off every time?
Is it possible that the rubber back can damage the aluminum backplate if folded back?
I guess I am just trying to decide if I want the sleeve, or a regular leather case instead-
Another thing... is it possible to use both at the same time???
Thanks!
I personally think a leather case would be better the asus cover looks good but doesn't add any protection to the back of the case when in use.

It can indeed be folded all the way back and will not damage the aluminum backplate.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium
Thanks... I greatly appreciate the feedback. I am considering to pre-order a leather case- the one below from Amazon:
VERTEKS (TM) Asus Eee Pad Transformer PRIME TF201 10.1-Inch Android Tablet Wi-Fi Multi Angle View Leather Folio Case Cover (Black)
This company made a leather case for the original transformer and it got high ratings, so I figure its a low cost safe bet for the prime!
What is interesting, is that the above post states the transleeve can fold back all the way... I may have to further consider all options before deciding-
Note: I cancelled pre-order on the leather case for now- still undecided, and greatly appreciate the feedback received!
Dont get the Asus sleeve, way too over price for limited functions. I am going to return mine as soon as my screen protector and case arrive. If you only plan on having just the tablet and dont mind scratching up that nice aluminum back then get the asus sleeve, but if you plan on getting a dock and keeping it looking new, get another cover.
I too don't see the merits of the sleeve. If I want it propped it (for watching a film etc.) i'll just pop it in the dock. Similarly i can see myself getting annoyed very quickly with having to remove the sleeve every time i wanted to dock the prime.
I will be using my prime for a lot of couch surfing and while on the go, and based upon feedback it seems that it would be best to get a leather case.... I also don't want the aluminum backplate to get all scratched up since i will be holding it the majority of the time during use.... So :
I went ahead and pre-orderdered this one from Amazon:
VERTEKS (TM) Asus Eee Pad Transformer PRIME TF201 10.1-Inch Android Tablet Wi-Fi Multi Angle View Leather Folio Case Cover (Black)
What sucks is that it doesn't ship until Jan 6th -like almost all of the leather cases listed on Amazon, they are all pre-order only.
Hopefully, I don't scratch the hell out of the backplate by the time the damn leather case arrives!
Thanks for the input!
ordered it also, had to call in a favour from an American friend to use his address and send it up to Canada. We Candians don't seem to have any luck with anything related to the prime , All the good cases are in the usa
cute android sleeve case
I pre-ordered this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0062OKDIC/ref=s9_simh_gw_p147_d2_g23_i2?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=1RNMQ9X4A2AJZJH9GGVK&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846. Have a Roocase on my TF101 and like it.
I have a bit of a different perspective... One of the things I'm looking forward to with the Prime is the thinness. Thus, at the risk of scratching the back, I'm going to try using it in just the ASUS cover. I might put in the dock when I'm taking it more than back and forth from work and put the combo in a sleeve, bit for use around the house it'll be the cover and nothing else.

Me to. I want to feel it when using it. I have an itouch that is 3 years old and soon as I bought it I slapped a case on there. I really never got to enjoy that nice shiney metal rear cover.
not sure when those nice new fancy docks are gonna be available but I can get the sleeve by the end of the week. I'll prolly just resell it when everything else becomes available.
Has anyone found a case similar to the official ASUS one for the original Transformer, or the official Apple one for the original iPad? These cases were great, as they protected the entire tablet and added minimal bulk to the tablet. It's very disappointing that Asus has chosen to go with the lackluster origami cover as their official cover to this tablet.
Thinking of ordering this case - The company and original transformer reviews are great. Not available until the end of January though

Has anyone used the Targus Spruce Mini Messenger?

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.
amazon.com/gp/product/B002STX2ZG/ref=oh_o02_s00_i00_details
(Can't post links yet)
It works for the most part just will for a little more pocket space in the other spots.

Got Tuff-Luv case, it's a 7 incher......

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007ISL466/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details
bought the case from the above link. Thanks to amazon, instantly returned. Waiting for my money back now.
How could they send me a case for a 7-incher to be the case for transformer prime??? Even the tag on the box says it's for transformer prime....
Any other suggestion for case for prime? Should I trust tuff luv any more?
My requirement
compatible with dock
can stand in both portrait and landscape mode
ability to use both cameras.
good to have
case for tablet and case for keyboard detachable
decide to buy case after I go back to china, generally one third the price.
I almost made the purchase on this the other day. Good thing I didn't
There's one 4 star review for it though. Amazon probably sent you a different item?
