[Q] Sleeve + Dock Simulateneously - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good news! I was finally able to snatch a 32GB TF yesterday from NewEgg! YAY!
My dock is already here. Now I'm considering the Asus Sleeve for when I have it not docked. However, I can only see myself actually using it if I don't have to keep taking it off every time I want to dock the tablet. Is there anyway to have it stay on while docked? Maybe we can cut the flap that folds? What do you think? Any other option?

There's a member on here who did just that, cut out the bottom to make it fit on his dock while sleeved.
IMO, it looks horrible, the cut looked sloppy and it bulges out when docked. You would have to cut away a significant amount of the sleeve if you want it to let it dock with no interference.

I'd wait for a third party to make a custom sleeve.
Making the changes yourself means there's a good chance that you'll end up wasting $40.

i've done it w/o cutting, but a good push is needed to make it connect. plus the flap that tucks in covers some keys. i'm not really willing to cut it either.

That was me and for the OPs use here is the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074265
Yes it is ugly. If I was entering it in a beauty showcase it would get disqualified. The "ugly cut" is not visible when using the thing so I dont care too much. You could make it look better.
That said, if you want to wait 2-3 months, I am willing to bet someone makes a sleeve that can be used with the dock and not look fugly. I think it is is easily possibly after messing around with mine.
If you wan functionality now with a little bit of ugliness, you can modify the current sleeve. However, the current sleeve is well over priced IMO.

Even with the mod I've steered away from getting the sleeve. It looks completely flimsy and loose. Definitely far from the one that Apple had for the iPad 1. Not worth the $40 investment period.
Hopefully, some third-party company will make something usable.

WitGlobal inexpensive cases

Ok, I've been looking into cheap cases for my g-tablet, and I found the following witglobal ones mentioned on the forums in a positive light:
http://witglobal.com/goods-2286-10i...for+Viewsonic+Gtablet+10+-+Free+Shipping.html
And here's one that's just a case, no KB, and now uses straps to secure it instead of the tabs (which often block ports, etc):
http://witglobal.com/goods-3531-New...onic+Gtablet+10++Zpad+T2+-+Free+shipping.html
I've got a few questions here I'm hoping you folks can help me with-
1) I like the idea of a USB keyboard to replace my netbook when travelling, but I feel like I don't want/need that all the time. My excuse for owning this in addition to a netbook is that I can use this in multiple orientations (portrait, landscape, etc) and is great to use casually handheld. I feel like a KB case would get in the way in those situations (not to mention make it roughly the same size as my netbook). Do people use the KB cases all the time or only when they want a keyboard? Does it make sense to buy both cases (a keyboard one and a non-KB one) for both scenarios?
2) I noticed that the non-keyboard version has been updated to have straps instead of tabs (holds better and doesn't block ports). Do they also make the keyboarded version with straps now? Or is that only available in tabs? I looked around and found the old tabbed $16 case, so I'm wondering if there is a new strap KB one that I'm missing?
3)Also, what is the best way to go about purchasing these? I've found them on ebay and I see their website (linked above), but I assume both will be shipping from Hong Kong and take a long time. Any US sellers with the same goods? Or a better place to purchase them from, etc?
Thanks!
Electroniccrap.com stocks several cases for the gtab (and it's run by a member here). I use the CLIP and love it. Only down side is that you can't access the full usb port while in the case.
Slim Bluetooth Keyboard + CLIP is the way to go. Built in stand with the case, and your not lugging the keyboard when you don't need it.
I've heard good things about the Clip but its pretty pricey. I bought a witglobal with clips instead of straps, see here:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Fashion-leather...?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item4aaa1ba034
the clips hold it really secure. I worry about your second link because straps can stretch. These don't block any ports. It took about two weeks exactly to get mine. A friend at work bought the same case, and it also took about two weeks. Build quality is better than I would expect for a 15$ (shipped) case. I really like the kickstand, and there are little magnets in the straps to hold them down.
I decided not to get a case with integrated keyboard, because I figured more often than not, I wouldn't be using it. I bought a bluetooth keyboard (microsoft 6000) and I just bring that if I need a keyboard for some reason.

I bought a P4 case from ElectronicCrap that doesn't block the USB port. The P4 does not have a built-in keyboard.
I also bought a neoprene-like case meant for a netbook. The case is loose enough to carry the gtab in the P4 case plus a small USB/BT keyboard.
That's the way I roll
Yes, I'm aware of the electroniccrap cases from Steve. They seem nice, and I'd love to support a member here, but there's good reason that I iterated "inexpensive" in my thread title.
Especially if I'm on the fence about purchasing a keyboard one as well, I'm looking for the best-bang-for-my-buck right now. I simply can't justify spending the money on Steve's when there are decent (albeit lower quality material) cases for half the price available.
If I weren't trying to be cheap with this, I'd likely spring for one of those Kindle DX cases I've seen around that appear to fit nicely and are genuinely nice leather material. But sadly that's not in the budget.
As far as the straps vs tabs- I was under the impression that the straps held the device in better, since the tabbed version is actually missing a tab on the right side. Didn't folks say if you hold it the wrong way, the tabbed version would slip right out? I am under the impression that this is exactly why they switched to the strap version. I could be wrong about that.
Indeed, the Kindle DX and plenty of other tablet and Ereader cases use similar strap designs as well. But it is reassuring to hear that the tabs are working for you- makes me feel better about the KB one.
I really want the Clip, but I am not ready to shell out $50 for it. Sigh.
I wouldn't mind seeing the case with straps, but any of those elastic type straps I've ever seen start to loosen. These clips are metal (aluminum?) They hold it crazy tight, I can't imagine what kind of force it would take to come out of there. When I first got it I put the tablet in and held it over the couch and just shook it like crazy and it didn't budge. I mentioned I had a co-worker get the same case. His tablet was also held in very tight.
Not trying to talk you one way or another, but I looked at the Kindle cases too and if you read any updated reviews of them it seemed like they were always getting stretched out to the point of people putting velcro on the tab just to hold it in there. I wasn't a fan of the P4 style cases, because personally I think that sleeve all around adds too much bulk to the whole thing. The witglobal one is like the exact size of the tablet, perfect imo.
The clip looks awesome but no way I was paying $50 for a case either. I also didn't want to lug a keyboard around all the time. If I was going to do that I would just take my laptop everywhere. I would say, see if you can find any of the later reviews, or later threads on those kindle cases. It seemed like a lot of people were having the straps stretch out. The other thing looking at the picture of the witglobal strap case, it almost looks like the one strap would go right over the power button and the other might cover the power/headphone ports.
Hope that helps

Ugh, now I can't decide which one I want! The straps I thought make more sense, and the whole point was that they were supposed to be *better* than the clips at holding it in!
I'm so confused- does anyone have any experience with the strapped design that they can chime in with? I know these things take weeks to arrive from China, so I don't want to order one, find out it stinks, and then have to start over waiting for another one!

Tablet fits in dock without removing case ?

Hi
I have the very nice Samsung book case and was thinking of getting a dock. Anyone know if the table will fit in a dock (Samsung or otherwise) without needing to be removed from the case ?
Thanks
What features are you looking for in your dock? If you just looking for something that'll hold your tablet at a good viewing angle while charging, you could 3D print (or commission someone to 3D print) this dock.
It works well, with and without my case. (There's two versions of the dock: standard and jumbo. I've tried both. I personally prefer the standard.)

Hot much does it cost to get this printed? And does it hold the charging cable in place where all you have to do is slip the tablet into the dock and it connects?
nice answer! thanks, that would probably work. I'll look in how much it would cost to print.
This image - image:103984- suggests that the charger gets held in place by the 2 halves. I doubt its as a snug as a purpose built dock but it looks good enough

Printing cost would depend on who you commissioned to print the dock. If you found someone local and could avoid shipping costs, it could be done very, very cheaply. (The dock I'm using is actually an early prototype from the same guy that wrote the Thingiverse post I linked to, so I lucked out and got mine for free.)
It holds the charging cable firmly in place; requires very little effort to dock, outside of making sure the tablet's centered as you lower it. It seems to be a little sturdier when docked in its case, but its still perfectly acceptable sans-case too.
I leave a dedicated OEM charging cable in my dock. In the prototype I got, the cable had to be kinked at an extreme angle to keep the connection point firmly in place. It didn't damage my cable, but making a habit of kinking the cable every time you used the dock probably would...
Of course, he may have found another way around this before he posted on Thingiverse. I'll try to find out for sure...
I cant wait until 3d printers are cheap(er). In the mean time I found this case http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006OBKDFQ/ref=oh_o03_s00_i03_details which allows me to dock without taking the tab out. Using the same method for using it in the stand of the case, you unhinge the bottom part of the case and dock it. Works pretty well.
It does not fit into my charging, 3.5mm out dock.
The dock has no room for ANY case. Maybe a ZIS.

MiniSuit case is a dud...

So I ordered the MiniSuit case for the infinity... in concept its pretty good, but...
1. The thickness of the leather near the bottom edge hinders the ability to dock the keyboard. Sure it can be done but you basically have to wrap the case around the tablet when docked. Trying to dock with the case on caused slight damage to the metal coating on the infinity around the dock holes on either side of the charging port and caused a slight cut on the back of the tablet.
2. If you do manage to get the thing docked with the case on, the thickness of the boarder that holds the tablet in the case really puts alot of strain on the docks hinge. I don't see any visible damage, but I don't feel confident leaving the tablet like this for long periods of time.
3. Say you do manage to get the entire tablet together and in the full case. The entire thing is loose and does not like to stay aligned right, you will find yourself constantly pushing and nudging the case back into position. Not really fun considering the stress already being put on the henge.
Regardless, I just cant recommend this case unless your just looking for a cheap tablet only case.

EDIT:
Honestly this case would be halfway decent if the leather on the bottom half of the case was thinner. But it is not... Ill try contacting the company and seeing what they can do.
darn, i should have this case today. Oh well, it wasn't expensive. I guess i will see what other alternatives there are. Thanks for the review.
just received mines. i see your point. It does add a lot of thickness to the tablet. and using it without the dock sleeves feels cheap. Guess i will keep hunting.
Mine showed up yesterday and I set to using it right away. I noticed the same issues. Mine even went so far as to start to tear on the tablet side near the hinge. Mine is going back in the box and headed back to Poetic (another version of the same).
BTW the material is bonded leather, so sticky and gross. I used a leather cleaner and conditioner (the same one I use on my Coach briefcase) and it did no good with removing the cheesy sticky plastic feel. The cover for the tablet only is awkward as the spine portion is large enough tor the docked keyboard, without the keyboard it sloppy and not really useful.
Great idea, poorly executed.

hopefully another company will execute it properly. For now, im thinking about the Transleeve. I dont want the extra bulkiness.
I bought this case and really like it. I don't have the keyboard, yet, but I intend to use this as a stand alone tablet most of the time. Removing it from the case and docking doesn't seem it would be a big issue for as often as I intend to do that.
For those looking for a stand alone tablet case, I really like this one.

case for tf only but use with dock as well

I've been looking through the reviews and I don't think I've seen this. The basic idea is that we are using the infinity to replace a laptop. But the keyboard dock is going to stay at home, while the main unit will be mobile. So, ideally, we would have a case that fits on the infinity and allows the infinity to attach to the dock without any stress (I read at least one of these reviews that the material in the cover caused some extra strain on the unit in attaching the dock).
So, the idea would be that, on the go, you grab the infinity out of the keyboard dock and you have a case that flips over the screen, but can also bend back around and be used as a stand.
When you come home, you attach the infinity to the keyboard dock (no strain) and can flip the screen cover part back over so it's out of the way and use the whole setup kind of like a netbook and charge it at the same time.
Does such an animal exist?
Also interested in this. I would imagine if a case simply didn't have any material on that bottom edge it would be perfect. And the cover could help keep the tablet + dock from tipping over.
Check out this. It's PU leather (i.e., fake) but it's cheap, is supposed to fit well and will allow attachment to the keyboard while in use. I just ordered one. It's supposed to be here by TUE. I'll post back if you like.

Definitely post back - but where did you see that it will allow attachment to the keyboard while in use? All I could find was "access to all controls and features".
I saw that one before, but without any reviews mentioning how the keyboard fits, I shied away... will be glad to hear your input on it!

Look at the design: the last attachment point is mid-tab. The entire docking surface is exposed and unencumbered. I saw a post/photo from someone using that case, and he just docked the tab and sat the keyboard on top of the cover portion which lies on the tabletop.
So, you can't enclose the assembled tab-keyboard combo in this case -- if that's what you're after, sorry if I misunderstood -- but I didn't usually carry my TF101 assembled anyway. I want something that will protect the tab during "regular," separated use, and let me connect the keyboard on the fly when I need to. This case does that.
BTW, I did see one folio-type case on Amazon that will allow the keyboard to be attached and still close the case over the whole shebang. But it added so much bulk to the tab that it defeated the purpose of not carrying an ultrabook.

No - we're on the same page - I only want to cover the tab. If honestly don't see much point in a case if you travel with the keyboard - it kind of acts like a cover anyway.
The bugaboo with all these is that they have to have some amount of material to hold the tab in the case, even when that area is "exposed". In a lot of them, that's the part that folds back over and makes the stand. When it's in that config, with no material to hold it, the tab will just slide out. And it's that little bit of material that's my concern because I don't want something that is basically going to be abnormally prying the tab away from the keyboard (just by being between the two) like the review of the minsuit reported.
I've been using the Poetic Hardback case http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Protec...6049322&sr=8-1&keywords=poetic+hardback+tf700
If you look closely there's a black nylon strap that you can use to fold the cover of the case backwards, it keeps the case on the tablet only while leaving it free to dock. I think it works pretty well, the only problem is when folding the cover back it does cover the camera as well, but I suspect taking pictures will be rarer than docking to the keyboard.
Which one is the most slim?
Hi!
Which one of the MoKo and Poetic hardback case is the slimmest one?
I wanted to have a normal "protection" only as the iPad has but I cant find anyone that seems to fit good.
(tried the TF201 one in the store and it wasent a perfect fit, went out a little on the sides).
I actually dont need a "full body" cover but if nothing better exists I guess I have to since I want a stand also.

+1 . I am in same situation as you. Want a slim "Ipad-ish" cover with stand for typing.
Dunno about the Poetic case, but the Moko case will do the trick. I'd take pix, but I returned mine along with the tab after I noticed all the hardware issues with the latter. IMO, I'd rather have real leather, but this is good enough for the price.

Galaxy S 5 Car mount

Recommend the best car mount here for Galaxy S 5.
A bit more expensive, but the CraigsDocks Dock is billet aluminum and low-profile and is true one-hand operation and adjustable to work with S2, S3, S4, Note series and now the S5.
http://www.craigsdocks.com/samsung-galaxy-s3-s4-note-2-3-car-dock/
I've had mine a year and won't have to buy a new one when I upgrade to the S5 because it fits all large Samsung superphones.
It's also adjustable to work with ALL cases, including the extra large cases that have built-in batteries.

The air dock is what ultimately tipped the balance for me getting an S5, after seeing it I knew built-in Qi charging was a must have and since Sprint only offers the Nexus 5 in 16GB flavor (not nearly enough, I've got 15GB of stuff on my SD card today which easily exceeds the 12GB formatted capacity, not to mention 2 years from now).
Hope they will make something like this one :

I got one of these a while back and its quite good, just make sure to hold the back of the phone whilst removing or sometimes the back cover comes lose on a clip or two with S4, the magnetism is quite strong.

Because its so hard to plug in USB lol, is it really worth an extra $75? Also there's no way that thing could output 2A so charging is going to be much slower, just my opinion.

notice my cd changer is curved out but the rubber "fins" still fit snug and very sturdy. They are rubber and do no damage. if for some reason it just will not fit in there on your car model, you can always send it back worry free (with Prime) but it shouldn't be a problem. the grip has a light rubber pad and is controlled by a spring action adjustment. I love it because i can easily place my phone into it by pushing my phone up and in. I take it out with the same motion, press up and pull out. it is made in Korea and the material and parts are very well made.
I really don't know why some of the people here are buying 50-70 dollar suction phone mounts. that is a total rip off.

thanks for the detailed write-up and pics! I have the phone and iPad version sitting in my Amazon wishlist right now... maybe will push them to checkout next payday
Upon inspection of both of my vehicles, it looks like it will work really well and actually sit at a great height (within arms and eyes reach) and not block any controls to anything else (only blocking a clock in my Civic and a clock/temp screen in my Highlander)
thanks again :good:

I really don't know why some of the people here are buying 50-70 dollar suction phone mounts. that is a total rip off.

thanks for the detailed write-up and pics! I have the phone and iPad version sitting in my Amazon wishlist right now... maybe will push them to checkout next payday
Upon inspection of both of my vehicles, it looks like it will work really well and actually sit at a great height (within arms and eyes reach) and not block any controls to anything else (only blocking a clock in my Civic and a clock/temp screen in my Highlander)
thanks again :good:

I ordered a similar one, well basically identical, and it fits superbly in my 2008 honda accord exl. It sits just below all the controls. I was some what worried about it not reaching out far enough as the cd player is recessed when compared with all the radio and nav controls. But it's about as perfect as possible. The best part about this mount in my opinion is that it keeps a person like myself from having to many items on the windshield. Without this I'd have- Radar Detector, Phone, toll tag, and gps, way to many things, phone being the largest of them all. Anyway, I'll take some pictures and maybe a mini review later. I highly recommend to anyone who want a good out of the way docking solution.

thanks! I'd love to see pictures. I have an '08 civic ex... by looking at my dash, it seems like it would sit above all my controls and only cover up that little screen that shows the radio station and the time.

I'll take pictures when I get home this afternoon. I forgot my camera at home today. Was a bit flustered this morning. But I'll get you some pics for sure.
