trifold case for tf101 - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know where I can get a trifold case for the tf101 like in the link below? I've found them to the tf201 and tf300 but can't find one for the tf101. It's similar to the iPad smart cover (minus the magnetic closure) and I don't care if it will fit the keyboard since I don't have it.

Thanks, but that's not what I'm looking for, I already have one just like that (minus the strap) and don't like it all that much. It doesn't stay in the stand slots very well at al unless it's on a perfectly flat surface. Plus that's not designed like the iPad smart cover like the one I linked to in the original post.

[Q] Case for the TF300T

Anyone know where I can get a case like the one attached, for the TF300? I found it on Amazon but it is not currently in stock.
Get the one for the prime and punch out two holes. One for the mic and one for the ear phones.
I have exactly that and love it

I got this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007HKIU08/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
It was $12.99 when I bought it. I haven't received it yet so I can't tell you if its good or not. I only payed like $3 for it since I had $10 gift cards on amazon. So, hopefully it is worth that

Do you think it would be possible to post some pictures of what it looks like on your tablet?
this case has the headphone hole in the wrong location so you have to make your own whole. i have this one and had to cut it to create a hole for the headphones. other than that its a solid case. i just got it yesterday.

[Edit]
Quick Review: I really like this case. I have both this one and the Caseen Green Plaid case. I like them both. I prefer this one for work at a desk and static viewing. The caseen case is very superior for use on the move and the hand strap is priceless for working while moving and holding it. Both cases are well made without strong odor and were originally designed for the TF201 (Caseen's has been modified for the TF300 by Caseen)
The TF300 fits very well into the case without having to be forced and the velcro holds it very securely.

There is a microphone under this leather
You can see the hole punched in the Caseen case for the mic here:
This is where the headphone jack is:
See the hole in the caseen case:
Here is the camera on the right and the light sensor on the left. As you can see the light sensor is slightly obfuscated, this is not an issue for me since I don't use it.
Here are the speaker cut out (very slightly off) and the camera cutout (with the cut out for nonexistent flash)

Maybe... on one hand, its only slightly thicker, not enough to make a case not fit. On the other, the buttons and ports were all moved around, so that may mess with how things are aligned.

Well, it may fit if they just have an open side, but if they have holes it won't fit.

I'm hoping someone makes a hard, snap-on type case for the tablet and dock. I couldn't really find anything like that for the prime, and I hate the leather portfolio cases lol.
I'd hate to spam the Infinity threads, but someone here might be interested in my other post on the sleeves for Transformers in a similar thread:

Thanks for that link! They have 25% off for a couple of days. Got myself a stylus and a car charger.
I would like something similar to the Official Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 case... been using that for a year on my tab and its brilliant.
I'm probably going to be picking mine up at a retail store, so I'm hoping to find a nice slip case that will fit the tablet and dock.
I just got my TF700T and love it so far, but I'm worried about scratching it, so I was wondering if there was something like the CaseMate "Barely There" case for this Tablet?
Also the smart cover things that at Asus' own webshop, have anyone tried them? Are they worth buying?

I'm using the TranSleeve designed for the Prime (TF201), it fits well and is actually pretty cool. You have a few "standing" options (movies / typing) etc.
There is TranSleeve Dual coming, which is supposed to cover the Infinity with or without the dock, but it's hard to tell when it's going to be available in Europe.

I got the TranSleeve Dual while I thought I was getting the regular TranSleeve. The Dual one is pretty much useless without a dock.
Sure, you can prop the thing up similar to the regular sleeve, but it feels bulky, and since the tablet is only held in place in the sleeve by silicone stripes (or whatever they are) at the sides, it tends to just slide out of the sleeve. The actual propping up also feels bulky since it's supposed to fit the dock as well and wrap around both when you close them together. Suffice to say, I'm returning it since it's useless to me without the dock.
This is my leather case what i order last week http://www.noreve.com/langue/en/pro...Infinity_TF700T_Tradition_B_leather_case.html
It's just great and it fits perfect
Nice one! Nice price too.

That appears to be the same as Amazon's "Poetic-Transformer-Infinity-Keyboard-Portfolio" -- I'd post a link but I'm not allowed to since I haven't got ten posts yet (the logic behind that escapes me).
The poetic is cheaper at $14.95 and free shipping. I've ordered one but it won't get here until tomorrow. I also purchased on ebay:
360-Rotation-Leather-Case-Cover-for-ASUS-Transformer-Pad-Infinity-TF700T-10-1-/271011459951?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item3f198ab36f
Which closely resemble's Amazon's "MoKo-Detachable-Transformer-Horizontal---Lifetime," but I think the ebay one looks better and is cheaper as well. I haven't received it yet either -- it appears to be coming directly from China with free shipping but won't arrive for another week. I'll try and update this as soon as they arrive.
I have a case that is basically identical to that one that I got for my Prime. It is a nice case but it adds a lot of bulk to the tablet & keyboard combo. I just got a different case from Amazon that is much better: the "Poetic(TM) 2in1 Ultra Light Leather Case for Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime TF201 10.1-Inch Android Tablet"
This case adds much less bulk. The other case has a third flap on it that is really unnecessary.

Long thread with very little information about cases for tablet and keyboard together. So I think a thread that focuses on this specific combination has some merit.

The thing I'm looking for is to have both a tablet and keyboard case that can be together or separated. So sometimes I want to take both the tablet and keyboard and want something that works nicely. Other times I want to take just the tablet and don't want to bring the keyboard. So I want the case to shrink to be tablet only and allow me to attach or detach the keyboard.
The Poetic-Transformer-Infinity-Keyboard-Portfolio was a little cheaper and I figured for $15 how wrong can I go. Thanks I ordered it!
Anyone know of a real leather case for the combo besides the noreve? I'd like one with the pockets inside like the poetic cases.

I've this one since a few days and it's very great !!!
For the cost, very good quality. You can separate easely the keyboard and the the TF700.
Look is beautifull (like a filofax), very good prize !!!
For me it's a must have for TF700 user with dock.
Camera front and back, power, micro sd, sd are good.
One only a little thing is "bad", there are (en francais 2 élastiques) for to keep the keyboard in place (not very beautifull, this point give a look cheaper only for this part). The access for the usb port is a little hard and it's the same for the power supply (on the keyboard).
A last thing, when you open the case, the connect since the TF700 and the keyboard is sometimes lost ... You must to press a little the keyboard and it's okay.
For all the rest, it's very a good case
P.S. : sorry for my english ...:silly:

I bought that case, but I must say, the quality is pretty cheap. I'm not really sure what I should expect, but it does do it's job of protecting the tablet's exterior so I'll give it that much. The material used however, is fairly cheap/low quality to the touch.
I'm not okay at all with you ... It's a good value for money !
For this prize, it's not possible to have real leather.
There are other cases with best quality of material but very more expensive ...
I received the poetic case. Overall I like it. It feels good and splits easily so you can detach the keyboard and carry it as a portfolio.
Negatives are in portfolio mode the flap is loose since it has extra slack to close around the keyboard. I don't think this is a big issue. The one thing I really don't like is that it doesn't have any stand mode. So if you want to stand it up to watch a movie or just look at email you will need to prop it up with the flap but it isn't designed for this and isn't stable.
Overall I am not satisfied with this cover. I am still shopping.

Hi,
Same question for me: any feedback?
I have the impression that the video watching position is too inclined..
I've had the poetic case (looks the same) for over a week now. I'm still looking. the case looks nice. While it adds quite a lot of bulk, I am mostly using the tablet for work, and it looks pretty professional. Alot of people are concerned about the bindings for the cases, but they seem ok to me (except you have to take off the dock strap to charge). However, I have found that with the dock and tablet cases on I have some difficulty joining and disconnecting the dock and tablet. Sometimes I have to struggle so much I'm a bit worried about breaking it. It takes a fair bit of time (well a couple of minutes anyway), which does not suit me if I need to whip off the tablet quickly to show something to someone or change orientation of the tab if needs be.
I've now just taken the dock cover off because it gets covered by the tablet folio, and seems to dock a bit easier.
Am now looking for a tablet and dock cover that doesn't impede docking, and can cover the screen of the tablet ok without the dock in it. Not in a hurry though cause the Poetic is still pretty ok for the price.
Edit: Don't recommend this case. Very tight to dock the keboard and have scratched the edge of the tablet and ruined 1 screen protector getting it on. Need something with thin leather padding on the dock edge of the tablet.

Smart cover? Edit: TranSleeve?

Has anyone purchased a smart cover for their Infinity? Like something comparable to an iPad smart cover? I'd prefer something like that over a keyboard dock or sleeve type protection. Curious what's out there. Looks like Asus made some for older models but they are reviewed unfavorably.

There is the official smart cover by Asus called TranSleeve.
But there is a report here somewhere it doesn't fit well and you have to tweak it a little too have it perfectly fit.

I don't think there is a smartcover for infinity, and i am afraid there never will be!
You see, smart cover means that when you "open" it, the screen turns on (iPad, Nexus7), becuase there is a magnet in the chasis of the pad that makes that possible. Haven't tried applying a magnet on infinity, but i don't think there is one...
So, sorry about that. transsleeve maybe looks like smart cover, but it is pretty stupid if you ask me
TranSleeve is what I'm looking for. Just light protection for the screen when I set it down and a stand when in use. Has anyone tried it with the TF700? The reviews are mixed from TF201 users, some love it some don't.
Also, anyone try waiving a magnet around this thing yet? If they eventually came out with one that could trigger the screen like an iPad that would be ideal.

TranSleeve is OK, but after little pressure applied it leaves traces on the screen (looks like rubber, although it's just synthetic).

I'm thinking the same. But I'd like to get a cover for while at home. I'm going to get real sleeve to carry all of it when I leave the house so I can put it in my backpack without worrying about it getting messed up. I'd love a sleeve with 3DO in it but no one makes those.
I got the Transleeve Dual yesterday and to be honest I don't like it at all. It feels nice in the hand but that is just about the only compliment I can give it.
The case just ruins the elegance of the tablet which I find surprising since it is an Asus product.

Asus transleeve works on infinity

I just received a transleeve cover (the origami one) for the tf201 and it works on my tf700 with no issues.
Fyi, in case that's the kind of cover you'd like for your tablet. I also have a keyboard dock, so I think I'm set on covers

It's only a cover. So it doesn't cover any buttons. Have the same one myself, and it fits perfectly.

Not sure if it's the same case as with Prime but there were a lot of complains that this transleeve causes scratches.
Im curious how well the cover fits. I also have one from my prime and although it appears to fit initially, it doesn't actually lock in and it falls of rather easily. When I look at it from the bottom, I can see the hooks on the cover don't fully catch in the dock slots. Also, the usb cable connector opening isn't centered as it should be in the covers cut out. It's as if the dock connector slots are slightly deeper than they were with the primes. I am curious if this is just my device or in general.

I had the same problem. Sleeve worked great on my Prime. When the camera module failed and the Prime was replace with the Infinity, I found the cover would not latch securely. Almost dropped the tablet the first time.
Tried several times to attach, but it just slips out of the connector slots

The slots on the TF700 have been redesigned. I'm not sure what the correct term for the bit of the slot that the latching mechanism clicks into, but I'll call it a shelf. On the TF201, the 'shelf' was part of the case, which meant that when attaching it to the dock, or in this case, the cover, the action of attaching would caus abrasion of the outward facing part of the 'shelf'. On the TF700, the 'shelf' is recessed, and made from what seems to be steel, so, although it will also get abraded, the marks will be fewer and less visible.
The recessing of the shelf means that the the 'neck' of the latches being pushed in needs to be slightly longer so that it latches in behind the shelf properly. In the case of the cover, it is not. This could be rectified by grinding off a portion of the latching, to extend the neck a little. A mm or so should be enough. I plan on doing this when I get some time.
I hope this explains it, despite my lack of knowledge of the correct terms for all the bits involved.

I had the same problem. Sleeve worked great on my Prime. When the camera module failed and the Prime was replace with the Infinity, I found the cover would not latch securely. Almost dropped the tablet the first time.
Tried several times to attach, but it just slips out of the connector slots

UPDATE:
The posts on the transleeve are millimeters from allowing proper attachment. On hinge of the transleeve are some rubbger spacers to hold the hinge away from the tablet. I removed those spacers and that provided just enough additional space for the hinge to latch into place. Hope that helps.
Please post a picture of your mods to help everyone understand what you've done...
There were already other threads on this, so no news here. I've been using it for two months now, but sporadically, it's ok, but I don't love it, the dock or neoprene sleeve is a better cover. Plus it leaves "stains".

?? I have 3 transleeves and all 3 of them fit the TF700 perfectly, no modding required. Sounds like you got unlucky.
My prime's origami case also doesn't fit well on my infinity. I mean it fits, but it is in no way secure. It doesn't latch at all and falls off with the slightest tug. Isn't there an official origami case for the infinity?

how many time did you use it ? i want to buy one, but.....i think it bad quality
I've had mine on my Prime and now Infinity for 6 months and not a mark on it.
Like I said before it's the best case for viewing the pad on my lap. Nothing else has come close.
I've been looking all over for a black origami smart cover and cant find one anywhere
