Kensington's keyfolio for iPads works, a little tight though (borrowed a friend's case).
Just ran across the following;
http://www.barnesandnoble.com/p/goldx-keyboard-cover-case/23833603
Looks exactly like the keyfolio, but cheaper. I'll know more when it arrives in a few days.

This is the one I purchased a little while back - I got it for $20.00 - Amazon Prime free 2 day shipping.
Love the damned thing - if you can find it anywhere else around that price, I would jump on it - it's a great quality product for that price.

Good news, it arrived today. Bad news, I sent it back for a refund.
Initially I was OK with it. The build quality wasn't as good as a Kensington keyfolio, but for $34 plus shipping I wasn't going to complain too much. The keyboard paired fine and most of the special top keys worked (4th and 5th key did nothing). However when the elastic strap came loose from low quality stitching after around 6 times closing the case, I decided to return it. I exerted no more force than necessary to stretch the strap around the cover.
Now that I've compared it with the Kensington case, I can definitely say the Kensington is well worth the extra cost. This is disappointing since this is the only keyboard+case with "HP Touchpad" in the product description I'm aware of.

PROs:
Better fit for the Touchpad that the Kensington cases. See this threadhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17133290 where I tried out the Kensington case.
Hard plastic keys versus rubber keys on the Kensington case. That said, apparently the newer Kensington cases have hard plastic keys. Rubber keyboards may not bother some, but I find them hard to use.
CONs:
Even with rubber keys, the Kensington keyboard is rigid and sturdy. The Goldx keyboard is disturbing non-rigid, even flimsy. I'm also concerned how it will wear over time. As you can see from the pictures, there is so much gap between keys you can actually see under them. It is a magnet for crumbs/etc getting under the keys. (Hey, everyone likes to eat crackers and type, right?)
Stitching. The reason I returned it, and severely lacking compared to the Kensington. Look at the pics and judge for your self.
Unless you tilt the screen all the way up, the "grips" that hold the bottom of the pad aren't sufficient to keep it from slipping forward and onto the keyboard from the least bit of vibration, such as someone bumping the table. The rigid keyboard on the Kensington does an excellent job holding it it place.
Conclusion:
Not worth the money. After I get the refund, I'll look at getting a Kensington case with hard keys. Barnes and Nobles has one for $53, and as long as they are prompt with the refund I'll give them another chance. Of course, I'll be back to the tight case problem. My sister is a good seamstress, and I'll see If I can get her to adjust it to better fit the Touchpad.
Wish me luck.

Great review although sorry product didn't work out. I ordered one of these to try: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004DXGOA0/ref=pe_175190_21431760_C1_cs_sce_3p_dp_1
The dimensions between the ipad 1 and the touchpad are within a couple of mm at most and any case should have enough give to handle it. I'll report back after receiving it.
Thanks for your review and I'm sorry it didn't work out It would be amazing if we could get a case like the clam case for the ipad (http://clamcase.com/bluetooth-ipad-keyboard-case.html). Out of curiousity, would the touchpad fit in a zaggfolio?

This in fact was the exact keyboard I got down to the paper insert in the review being the same. Very pleased with it for $25 shipped.
just wanted to mention that you guys could consider the aluminium keyboard cases for ipad 1 such as http://chinagrabber.com/ipad-blueto...keyboard-aluminum-case-holder--icase-467.aspx
I picked one up while I was over in taiwan last month (not the one linked, but similiar) and it seems to fix/work. But as mentioned the product I picked up isn't the one I linked, I actually don't know the name of the case I got, it was from a night market stall and written in chinese (I can't read it :S) and I think it was a knock off of a case. It might be because it's a knockoff and not properly fitted to the ipad 1 but it fit my touchpad :S. I did have to put in a little extra padding around the corners (afraid it would fall out if it was too lose :S).
Not promising it would fit, and it is expensive but maybe try looking into something similiar? I haven't bought from that site either and can't verify the trustworthiness of it, but just linked it to give you guys an idea of what I was talking about.
All of the aluminum cases are really expensive though I don't want to buy one just to experiment, and I can't justify the price either way. If anyone has a case with a keyboard they would recommend, please do, I would highly appreciate it!!

Well I already recommended the leather one with bluetooth keyboard (waterproof at that) for $20 + $5 shipping @ amazon which I purchased but you apparently are seeking cheaper.

Seems to be just right to me...not to loose..not to tight....you can tilt it every which way and it's not moving...camera hole even seems to line up...the review I linked to (originally posted by another user) shows it off pretty well. It linked fine and I've used it..even has a button which takes you to home screen.

Bought a case from Amazon for £1.79 and wanted to share what a great find it is.
Already bought a Krussel leather off the self from CPW which was fine for a while but now it has loosened a bit a couple of times the phone has almost flown out of the pouch. Luckily I never dropped it!
In some desperation I searched for a silicon/gel case to get me by till some official cases appear on the market. I knew others had some mixed reviews about the nexus one cases mobilefun were selling but I didn't want to spend that much on something that I was intending to be temporary. Instead I found this on amazon Accessory Village HTC Google Nexus One (Black) Super Hydro Gel Protective Armour/Case/Skin/Cover/Shellon.
It's really good! Power button and volume buttons are perfect with raised bits over them. All holes match up fine, only part that is not perfect is the speaker holes on the back and I'm sure I can modify them.
I've taken some pics and will upload them later when I get in front of my pc.
Great find!
Looking at it, it seems to be identical to the one that MobileFun are offering, albeit you save 9 of your Great British pounds
I ordered one the same as this from eBay earlier, I hope it does the job till something more permanent comes along!
I have this aswell.
It's a slightly tighter fit than one would expect, and i do fear it may start to damage the back of the phone if left on for a long period of time. When i say that i mean the rubber type material on the back of the phone may start to wear away? There's been reports of it already.
It is for the Nexus one and not Desire (like so many right now) but for the money it's a good temporary case.
Argh. Got side tracked last night and ran out of time to post pics. Will do that later this morning.
Forgot also to mention 2 important things.
1 the supplier doesn't charge delivery in the UK and it arrived next day.
2 the case pictured is totally different from the one I received. It's not black, its semi transparent with a nice dotted pattern. It doesn't have a hideous red stripe across the back and there is no nexus one logo on it. In fact as its semi transparent u can pretty clearly see the HTC logo through it.
Something else, the case is a perfect fit I think. Its just tight enough to make it just a little difficult to put on but not so tight you think it will damage the phone.
Pics now below. Ignore the screen protector its just a temporary one till a proper one arrives.

I bought the same case but paid 2.95 on ebay :-(
Agree it's a good fit, but still concerned it might mark the phone, which I can only see it doing if removing and inserting the phone from the case a lot, as it's a good fit and does not move around.
don't worry about it marking the phone, I have exactly the same silicon case but for htc hero (the same colour, looks and all) and it has never marked my phone for 9 months I've been using it.

Your very welcome
Thanks for the info Predo, nice to know it will be kind to my phone. How does your hero version look after 9 months in your pocket? Still have the shine?
Saquib - 2.95 still a very good price
Have now put a Vikuiti screen protector on mine, wow, silky smooth. Really easy to fit and worth the £9ish I paid for it. So glad it was on there as ive already managed to scratch it with something, no idea how just glad it wasnt the screen Also bought this from Amazon and was delivered from Germany in 2 days with free delivery. Very easy to fit too.
One other thing about the case, it fits so well that if your screen protector is also a perfect fit then the case tends to lift the edges of the screen protector. You can see that on the pics above. I had to trim a little off the corners a the top of my screen protector to stop this but its now perfect.
look just like new. i think that this case is awesome and will deffo be getting one for desire when i eventually buy it.

Sorry for the confusion. As posted by someone else already this case is the exact one. Note that the pic in the link does not match the actual item I received. Might be worth contacting them first in case they revert back to the nexus one branded one.
Good luck

I ordered one of those. But since its from HK it will probbably take a couple of weeks to arrive.
Just so you guys know - I ordered the case via the amazon link for the hybrid protective armor and didn't receive the same as the original poster. Mine is a hard 2 piece shell, rubberized on the outside but plastic in the inside - I haven't actually received my desire yet (stupid vodafone) but I'm not sure how good it would be. The back clips on to the front fascia. Seems pretty sturdy but not sure if the plastic would scratch the Desire at all? It's not a gel case anyway.
Anyway, just a warning - maybe they didn't have the one in stock for me.. or even for the original poster - my invoice said HTC google nexus one hybrid black. I can take photo's if anyones interested
I was afraid of this. Hope your case ends up being ok, but as was thinking when I originally ordered mine its not a great deal of money to risk

I have mine (which is the same as the pictures on the first page and cost £1.79 from Amazon). I think it looks pretty good to be honest, not sure about the feel, but the problem is I don't have my bloody Desire yet! T-mobile still haven't sent me one and I ordered it 16 days ago now. This wait is horrible!
I hate waiting for gadgets to arrive in the post, often end up paying over the odds just so I can pick things up from a shop..
Feel for you Tom, can reassure you that the case looks a whole lot better on the phone than off it. And as for the desire itself I'm just blown away. Came from a HTC touch hd, had almost made up my mind to go for a iclone when I saw techradars top 15 phones on the planet (iphone number 2 and desire number 1).
Now I've convinced my wife to upgrade to the legend ill be in tech heaven for the next year
I bought this case for my G2, and I LOVE IT!

I got it for $2.30 + $2.33 shipping. It fits great, looks good, and doesn't really add much thickness to the phone at all. It has a matte black finish, and a slightly rubbery feel. Not sticky like the gel case, though. It slips in and out of a pocket just fine. It fits exactly like the T-Mobile brand gel case, just without the added thickness of the gel part.
All of the corners are well protected, and the raised edge around the screen should add some protection there, too. I'm just glad I can set my phone down without scratching up the brushed metal battery cover (any more than it already is). I will try to post up some pics soon. Gotta find my camera or bust out the old N1.
I actually just placed an order for 2 more cases, and the shipping is still $2.33. So for under $7, I'll get 2. One is for a friend, and one is for a spare for me. I figured I'd get it now. Sometimes these deals disappear.
EDIT: To be more precise, the shipping did jump up to $2.95 for 2, so the total was $7.55. There are several different vendors on there with different shipping options. YMMV
just went to amazon to order one...price came up as $1.65 + $2.98 shipping. I upped it to 2 cases and it jumped to $5.96 shipping. I have no problem paying that for 2 cases but how did you get it to stay at $2.33 shipping?

Probably a different vendor. Like I said, it was the one selling for $2.30. Can't go wrong either way, though.
Each vendor has different shipping options and policies. I edited my post above to reflect that.

tmobile selling the same one for $16 each... wtf
I got that same case from Amazon (for a bit more $) but sent it back because it got in the way of the touchpad, which I use pretty extensively for navigating, copy/paste, etc.
For $5 that case is a great deal!
Picked a couple up. We shall see how good these work. The one thing I can see being annoying is make it more difficult to use the touch pad.
Boogy
The trackpad still works the same for me, and I have big thick awkward sausage fingers. This case is super thin. In fact, it seems to have eliminated the issue of the optical trackpad activating on its own occasionally. It hasn't done it once since I installed the case.
It doesn't seem worth it to return a case that only costs a couple of dollars. You'd have to pay that much to just ship it back! I wouldn't go overboard and order like 10 of them unless you already know you like it though...
The gel case at T-Mobile definitely makes the trackpad hard to use, though. Its very thick, even around the optical trackpad. Inner monologue: "Enough about the gel case already...everyone knows you hate it!" Is it weird I have conversations with myself sometimes?
I'm a cheapskate when it comes to accessories, so the price trumps all for me! Not to mention, flat black is always AWESOME.

Just ordered one! Only $4.70 after shipping. Will post my thoughts after I get it. Thanks OP
Yeah, price jumped up for me, shipping went down.
$3 for the case, $1 for shipping.
Excited for it. Nabbed some (a five pack.) screen protectors for like, $1.50 and $1 shipping in the recommended items section.
Thanks for pointing this out, man. Been dropping my phone too much. :s
Is there any way to remove the cover once you put it on? its really snapped on tight. I mean the fit is great, but im worried i wont be able to take it off if i ever need to get in the back.
what i usually do is on the upper left of the phone (the keyboard portion) you can see a clip. I dig my nail in there and kind of pry that off, then shift the back casing side to side till all of the rest snap off. The top same deal, but I think the clip is near the search button or mic.
Then again this is the Tmobile Gel one. The one from amazon still hasn't shipped yet!
I haven't seen any videos of this case, so I thought I'd put together a quick review for you guys. It's a pretty neat case, I kind of prefer it to the TPU-Cases model, I just wish the top was completely covered.
Also, the title should read "qubits" not "quibits".
Love the video, looks very professional. On a quick note. I wanted to point out that Yoobao has a somewhat similar TPU case with that missing top part that you mention was missing cover.
Here is a link for it:

How does it fit? Is it really tight? I'm looking for a TPU case because the Tmob case I got when I got the phone is simply way too floppy and loose. That Yoobao you posted is exactly what I'm looking for because I want a clear case to show off the phone's design. If the fit is tight and the cutouts all align nicely I'm purchasing it immediately lol.
To stay on topic, the OP's video looks very professional and I've looked at the Qubits case a lot too.

It fits like a glove, no flimsiness and not loose at all! Every single cutout is made EXACTLY where it needs to be. I was amazed by that.
Thanks for the review. Looks like a better case than the rubber one I got from T-Mobile for $20. The case is too loose around the sides. I already scraped the side with my key. I will be buying one of these TPU's.

sent you a prvate msg!
i got similar case ( black , not transparent and slightly different in design) as OP from amazon for $5.99 with free 2 days shipping ( 4 bucks cheaper ^^). This is really good case, fit tight and look awesome. As OP said,only weak point is that this case doesn't cover the top ( i guess they decide to design this way so you can put in/ or take off the case easier. I have similar type of this case for my mytouch 4G, my nexus S and it is a little bit more difficult to take the case off or put it in) This is always my first choice when i buy my phone's case.

This is honestly the best case I've ever used. Fits perfectly, adds a nice feel to the phone (I don't feel like it will snap in my hand anymore).

i got similar case ( black , not transparent and slightly different in design) as OP from amazon for $5.99 with free 2 days shipping ( 4 bucks cheaper ^^). This is really good case, fit tight and look awesome.

Does anyone recommend a sleeve to travel with the tablet and dock? I'm looking for a tight fit so that it doesn't take much space.
Since I live in The Netherlands I would appreciate one that is purchasable in Europe.
Nice protective sleeve/case
I bought this one, it's extremely cheap with free worldwide shipping. It looks good, and feels soft on the inside. It has a black texture just like the picture shows.

It's from dealextreme, I'm actually really happy with my purchase, all I need to know is if it fits nice. From looking at the specs it should fit, with the dock.

Nice, thank you. Though I do think it may look somewhat cheap.
I'll just try TranSleeve from Transformer TF201 on Monday.

No, it's only for the tablet itself, but I believe it is actually more convenient (a protecting case works fine for me when using both). Thought you might still be interested I've just got myself the TF201 TranSleeve and it's a really nice addition. Fits the Infinity like a charm. It is sth I actually need while having the dock disconnected. Otherwise the dock gives me similar "functionality" (protecting the screen and having the tablet work in various positions)
Here is the official webpage: http://www.asus.com/Peripherals_Acc...s/Eee_Pad_Transformer_Prime_TF201_TranSleeve/
Holding it feels really nice, I think ASUS made quite a good job with this one. There is a "Dual" version coming, which can cover the dock too, but I'm not sure if or when it is going to be available in Europe:
http://ae.asus.com/en/Peripherals_A...ssories/ASUS_Transformer_Pad_TranSleeve_Dual/
Any idea on pricing?

Depends on where you live. Should be around 40 USD each in the US. Not sure why, but I got mine in Poland for about half that (normally electronics and peripherals are somewhat more expensive here than in the US).
I bought this one; http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006C64C6E/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00
I don't have it yet, nor the infinity, but if the Prime and TF300 fit as well as they say then the TF700 should be fine. I don't know about availability in Europe. I should be receiving both items in the next couple of days.
I'll go with something out of these or similar. Already talked with this shop directly and they confirmed they can do custom size sleeve. Send them dimensions of infinity+dock and all is well.
Love the retro style :cyclops:
There are many more shops on etsy with ipad/imac/tablet sleves, covers, hoodies etc.
Not all are willing to create custom sizes.
Maybe, if Infinity goes really popular, they will include it as an option.
These linen sleeves look really nice. Had one of those for my laptop. Unfortunately some "cloth dust" (less than threads - many tiny pieces of linen) would stay on the screen and keyboard.

I'd like to know if this fits...I might go ahead and get one if it does, that seems more like what I want.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160730277915 fits well，already checked . in good condition and great quality ，tablet or tablet with keyboard dock both fit well .

I found these on Amazon Germany:
http://www.amazon.de/s/ref=nb_sb_no...SUS+Transformer+Pad+TF700T+SIMON+PIKE&x=0&y=0
they look really nice and if you google for the brand then there are some reports they are really good.
I'll give an review if I get one.
Or does somebody own one by any chance?
I have a black neoprene netbook sleeve i used on my og transformer. Fits the tablet with and without the dock. Maybe a little thicker than you're looking for, but offers some drop protection

I got myself the same, it's ok, no zippers and all, light and thin, but it does leave tiny bits of fibre on the device, not sure why, as this is an artificial material, perhaps it's just flying all around.
I have this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ASUS-EeePad...K_iPad_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item1c22d82916
It's stretchy.
Bye.

Let us know how this one is. Out of the cases I've seen on Amazon, this one looks the best for my needs.
Don't look only at sleeves marketed for the TF700T...
I took my TF700T w/ dock into Best Buy yesterday to try it for fit in what ever they had on the shelves. I found a sleeve that's marketed for the HP mini fit my tablet like a glove. It does have an external pocket where keep the charging cable, AC adapter, and the microfiber cloth. Only costs $20USD.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olstemplatemapper.jsp?skuId=9926416&type=product&tab=7&id=1218196187925
I just checked Amazon, and they have the same sleeve for $8.35USD. http://www.amazon.com/HP-WV594AA-10-2-Inch-Sleeve/dp/B003UT7QD2 Seems I paid BB a bit over $11USD for the privilege of being able to actually touch the product, physically compare multiple products, and to get the product right away. But it also proves the product isn't a BB exclusive. Probably should be able to find it anywhere in the world where the HP mini is sold.

Bummer.
It's normally good to compare. I bought mine on an e-auction (not ebay, but similar) for like ~$3, it's meant for netbooks too.
This will be quick. Two things:
Expensive
Worth it
Best quality case I've ever owned.
Mod edit: Please use this thread for reviews/discussions regarding book cover.
Tab s book cover functionality?

Hmm
Just bought one myself. It is very nice. I wish there was a tab or something to grab to open though.

Nice review. To condense it:
$$$
!!!
:laugh:
Early impressions were that people didn't like the snap method of affixing the case but I didn't have any issue with it and I like it.
My major criticism is with the edges of the case which have a raw, unfinished feel to them. If the cases were leather I would expect those edges to soften up with time but with this poly material, I don't know.
A major plus is that the cover doesn't add much bulk.
I had a difficult time finding a cover in my city. The one (the only one) a local Best Buy was carrying wasn't even in the Samsung section. The Samsung employees couldn't find it. I found it -- It was laying flat on a generic shelf labeled "tablet essentials".
Go figure.
I'm waiting on mine from Samsung. com. Is it heavy? Thanks.

No quite light and folds behind quite flat when needed.
Case looks beautiful but I can't get the buttons to hold it up. What am I doing wrong?
Edit -- nvm I just had to push them harder!!! Works great.

Here in Denmark, it was shipped for free if you placed an preorder before the 3rd of July . I agree, it's definitely a quality cover.
Love the bronze of the tablet. But the book cover bronze is a bit gaudy.

Just picked it up 2 days ago when it when on sale at Best Buy. I think Samsung finally got it right with this case!!!
My accessories came today including this case and I'll be stalling it tonight after I put on my screen protectors. I love the size and texture of the case, the closure is very strong. It's definitely worth getting over the 3rd party cases.

What are your thoughts for everyday use guys? Has functionality and usability been compromised with design? I'm checking the reviews and I'm worried the flap at the back can get annoying because it does not hold unto place unless you set the magnets in.
What about long term use and wear?

Not sure what you're asking about magnets. The magnets are strong and once you get used to the folding schemes it easy to switch.
As far as long term wear my only concern is with the snaps. Only time will tell. This is by far the nicest case Samsung has ever made. I have their case for the note 8 and the note 2, never used either one for long. I don't think I'll even look at other cases for this, unless I want one with keyboard.

I was pertaining to the other half of the rear flap that does not attach it's to the rear of the tablet. Doesn't it flop around when holding with one hand since it doesn't have any magnets? I e been looking at reviews of this case (not that much) and everyone is saying it's a really nice cade, pro ably the first case made by Samsung with that high praise. I usually just buy the generic ones from Amazon that have screen on and off function for 8 dollars lol

No. When folding the cover back you simply fold the flap underneath leaving the camera exposed and it doesn't flop around. Love it.
