Quick look at the official Asus TF701 case - Asus Transformer TF701

I am visiting Taipei at the moment and was able to purchase the official TF701 case direct from Asus. This case does add a little thickness to the tablet. Unlike the older covers, it is not using the bottom slots. Instead a semi transparent hard plastic back cover snaps in place protecting the entire tablet. All openings align perfectly, power and volume buttons feel responsive. As seem in the picture, you have to open the front cover to charge the tablet, there are no openings on the bottom of the case when closed. Aside from the little added weight and thickness, I am liking the case. One thing to point out is that the case does enable the auto screen on/off function. Screen on somehow takes a while and is not instantaneous, most of you are already experiencing this even without the case.

Totally agree. Liking my case. BTW it is available in Europe now on amazon. The official name is TransCover.
Here are my pics as yours aren't working.

Thanks sbdags, big fan of your kernel when I had the TF700. Could not live without your help for the past year!

Yes it is an Asus product - it's listed on their site as well. You have to remove it to use the dock.

what's the easiest way to remove the tab from the case?
I have this case and the dock too.
I find it very difficult to remove the tab fro the case... is there a trick for this?

No it's a *****! Found doing 2 sides (shorts sides) helps but it doesn't want to come off very easily at all.

looks exactly the same as mine but is only £3.95 delivered at the moment.
Stylus and Screen Protector provided.
Seems like a good choice.
Suspect the price could rise quickly like my one did.
Waiting until there's something that can use the magnetic screen on/off thing
In the meantime it's in the cover that comes with the blackberry playbook.
What screen protector are you guys planning on using? I want something that's going to feel nice and be quite durable (Not like some of the £1 ones I've had for other devices). I'm debating whether or not to wait until ZAGG bring one out.

I like those cases, does the NATPC M009S version fit the Google Nexus 7? I noticed Biz-E-Bee have made Nexus 7 versions of their cases, but costs £5~ more.
I got a "Belkin 7 inch Merge Sleeve for Tablet" from Amazon.co.uk. I can't post a link as I'm too new... well I've been a lurker for ages
It's more of a stop-gap until something better comes along - although I might just keep the Belkin and add a screen protector.
Speaking of which, I've been looking around for screen protectors, but I haven't found anything good yet.
I have just ordered this case from amazon. (I can't post links yet)

I'm having a horrible time trying to pick a nice case, why is Google taking so long to release the official cases here? :crying:
Here are the ones I'm considering, all amazon.co.uk followed by:
/Function-Jellybean-Protector-MOFRED%C2%AE-Available/dp/B008GSMRAY/
/gp/product/B008JEJX9S/
/gp/product/B008H5T0Y2/
/SD-TabletWear-Google-LuxFolio-Leather/dp/B008HTQ4TM/
They are pretty similar but I'm picky I guess!
I also want a protective screen cover but I'm not sure how I'm supposed to put a protective cover on a screen size this big (I had enough difficulty putting it on my phone which has a much smaller screen size) without resulting in lots of bubbles.
I know there are plenty of threads about protective screen covers but most of them result in links to US stuff, any suggestions for good UK items?

KLD Charming Case (Magnetic?)

He guys, I found another leather flip case that seems really nice. I like the colors but wish there was a blue similar to the Asus Nexus 7 cases.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/KLD-Ultra-S...702452?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2c690824f4
The one thing that concerns me is that it is magnetic. Is that safe? I found a video of the case(s) on youtube.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLwx4kSB7Pw
I really wanted one of those as well but being magnetic is a no go.

Besides being magnetic, they seem to be the all around best flip cover I've found (besides the Official Samsung Flip Cover that haven't looked at.) Nice colors, good design, appears to be good quality....... Guess we'll have to wait for something else.
I received this case the other day and the quality and feel is excellent. It is a beautiful case. I'm going to give it and try on my Note when I receive it. I like it better than the official Samsung flip cover.
Any feed back on the magnetic case being safe. I am getting my note 11\1 amenities want to order the case ahead of time. So far I am liking this case.

Safe? Well, it's not going to damage anything much, but it WILL screw with the S-Pen, and render the compass completely useless.
Ive got the case and been using it the last few days with no ill effects what so ever!!!
The magnet is next to the front camera and doesnt screw with the S pen at all. ln regards to the compass I cant comment as l dont use it (l dont think)!!!
All in all a really nice solid case - no complaints so far.
ps - went for the black and beige one - looks smart!

The case is safe. Smart covers for tablets (N7, Ipad) contain magnets. That is how they automatically wake up when you open them.
I bought this aswell hopefully there are no side effects. I plan on installing a landyard in it aswell. The note wont fit in all my jeans pockets ; p

I see now. It looks like butt. At least the colors do.
Ok I just bought it as well the black one as it looks beautifull and it has a kickstand feature what more do you want from a case all for a super price delivered what are you waiting for guys?
I have this case in black and I absolutely LOVE it.
It looks amazing, isn't bulky and the materials are top-notch. The phone doesn't move a millimeter. I haven't used the pocket yet, but I think it's a handy feature.
The magnet is a plus for me. It hasn't caused any problems.
I didn't want the official case, because it's made of the same chintzy plastic as the stock back - which I don't like at all.
FYI I have a brand new one of these cases available for $15.00 shipped. I'm located in the US so shipping will be a lot quicker than China. Please see the thread below for details
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34025798#post34025798
I'm looking at this case too and have a couple questions.
Does NFC still work?
What is it like to text and make phone calls on it?
Do you think it would still fit in a car mount with the back cover flipped around?
How easy is it to take in and out of the case?
I will NEVER use a magnetic case on my devices.
Very expensive device + magnet = prone to damage.
What would a magnet do?

You ever use the OG Droid? Both the car dock and desk dock used magnets. Magnets are fine with these devices
I doubt a low strength magnet would have any negative effect on the device.
I ordered a wallet case with a magnetic clasp and initially I was worried about dead spots on the screen. Having received the case and seeing how laughably weak they are (just enough to hold the front panel shut, absolutely no more) I'm not sweating it at all.
I'm eagerly waiting for the FedEx guy now, but I'll report back and tell of any issues.

Galaxy Tab 2 Cases Fit

Hey,
Just brought a Belkin case from PCWorld designed for the Galaxy Tab 2 10" and its a perfect fit. Holding the Nexus 10 up to the Tab 2 it's easy to see why. They are pretty much identical. Has the 3 fold design too. Now if I could just fit a small magnet under the material it would switch off when closed
Pictures to follow!
Whats the product name of the case you bought im heading to pc world later
Its called the Belkin Tri-Fold Folio with stand.
Luckily the shape of the corner grips means that although it covers part of the power button it doesn't actually touch it.
Thanks for the pics!

Thanks, I just ordered one. My N10 comes today due to UPS leaving it at their shipping facility on Friday
Thanks! Needed something to protect my baby until the hardshell keyboard cases come out!
I just ordered a zoogue galaxy tab case. Says it fits both tab 10.1s.
I have a zoogue case for my Xoom and I love it.
It is a bit pricey ($55 shipped) and I would call it more of a couch / indoor case.
I will post pics when I get it. The race is on both N10 and case where ordered tonight!
Only problem with the tab cases is they cover a good portion of the side speakers I hate not having a case on this thing...

Yes I seen that. I hope it does not sound to bad.
I just really like the adjustability of the case. I can go all the way forward or all the way back and any place in between.. Not just 3 notches like many cases similar to this.
I'm very excited and can't wait or sleep for that matter.. Ha
awesome! looks like a nice case. Will stop by a best buy tomorrow to try her out.

MOTO MOD FRIENDLY cases / bumpers

So like title said, post links / names of cases you can find online, for now there is only two options avaiable:

https://www.incipio.com/cases/smart...cases/moto-z-play-droid-co-molded-bumper.html
The second one is not mod friendly. I've it and it doesn't​ fit car dock or back style mods.

I'll vouch for the Verizon bumper case. So far all the mods I have fit with this on. I know its not a full case, but it protects the siding and gives you the ability to hot swap mods all day
I have the famous YouTube review video showing how terrible the Incipio bumper is. It doesn't even work with their own battery pack. Just poor engineering and design.
Is there any more options beside this two? Because verizon is not available to Europe?
found this one, but seems ... meh..

I backed the Edge Shield Bumper, at Indiegogo. But it will take some more time to deliver because Lenovo/Motorola asked for a legal agreement, this month. So I have to wait to see it's quality.
i am aware of edge bumper but its not available...
just an update, found this as well, will order it and test it out

NOTE: did not order because seller said it does not work with mods
Definitely want to know if it's mod friendly
Verizon one just broke on me. Lasted about 5 months. I want another one because it is the only one that works. Any idea where I can buy? I would love the edge shield when it comes.
Just received a Sparin TPU case for the MZP from Amazon today. The best part is that it fits OVER the style shell and all. Yeah, it's a tight squeeze and the top mic hole is a little bit off and it is a bit of a pain to remove, but it works. Don't know how long his case will hold up without cracking or yellowing, but so far I'm impressed. Buttons are able to be clicked and power cord inserted. Got a 2 pack for less than $10 shipped.
Oh, and no hole for the pins either.
