I've ordered the keyboard and have been looking for a case. This one looks pretty good but before ordering I'd like to see if any alternatives exist and if anyone has any feedback?

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.
Does anyone have original Asus VersaSleeve??

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.

This is just to carry the tablet, right?
Does anyone know if sikai case is gonna start developing cases for the infinity??? Their leather case seems pretty good for the prime (http://www.amazon.com/Sikai-Leather...8&qid=1345043945&sr=8-3&keywords=sikai+tf+201)
I got this case a couple of weeks ago-
http://www.secondshells.com/asus-transformer-pad-infinity-tf700-tf700t-w-keyboard-case-platinum.html
I really like it.
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.
Hi All,
Am thinking about getting the versa sleeve. Want a cover that allows quick access, can be used with dock or not, and can be used as a stand for multiple viewing angles for the tablet when it is solo. The versa sleeve is the only one I can see that can be shipped to Australia (Moko does a case I'm interested in, but Amazon dont ship to Oz).
Does anyone have one of the versa sleeves for the Infinity? Any comments on satisfaction in, and utility of, the product would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Mike.
No idea if any good (still waiting for my first ever tablet to arrive on Monday ) but noticed it on B&H when I ordered the Infinity from them (can't post a link but google ASUS 90-XB2UOKSL000B0 bhphotovideo should find it). Has some reviews and all are positive.
My tablet took 2 days to get to Botany ... but hasn't moved for 24 hours

I actually like the Versa Sleeve. It's a little pricey, but I found that it fits either the tablet or the tablet + dock (snugly). It has a stylus loop too. It has 2 basic viewing angles, and I like the texture of the case, nice and grippy.
versasleeve can be found at samsclub for <$6. not sure if they ship to australia. great sleeve. should fit tf700t + dock since it is advertised for the tf300t alone or with dock. primary reason why i bought this case is because i like using my tablets naked (slim profile is too nice to cover up) and because it functions very well as a stand.
Have had the Versa sleeve for a couple weeks now. If you're one to travel with the dock, this is a real plus because it's such a snug fit. Pricey but you can feel that the quality is there in the material. Even for those times you go with only the tablet, the ability to have 2 different angles is handy, and surprisingly, the "stand" positions are solid.
All in all, I'm happy with this because I don't have to bother with a case.
I live in Melbourne (Australia) and managed to buy the Asus versasleeve from B&H Photo and I have to say, it's a great case for the transformer infinity. It fits snugly with both the tablet and dock inside (without being very bulky). Also fits well with just the tablet, although I have purchased a caseen cover for when I want to use the tablet without the dock.
Build quality and texture of the versasleeve is quite nice - doesn't look cheap like a lot of the other covers I am seeing on amazon. Unfortunately shipping is a bit of a killer for such a small item, but at least it ships to Australia! Am personally very happy with my versasleeve purchase.
I just bought (in Italy) the tablet Asus Zenpad 3s 10 LTE (Z500KL) but no genuine accessories seems to be available on the market.
Do you know where I can find the ASUS Z Stylus or any compatible one with same functionality and fit?
Or which characteristics I should look for in a compatible stylus (i.e. capacitive, resistive, inductive etc.)?
I'm also looking for Asus Folio Cover or any other cover with custom shell for Z500KL.
Thanks in advance for help!
Marce
Hi,did you find any compatible stylus?I placed the order for the tablet some days back.Disappointed to see that the Z stylus is no longer available.
I can vouch for this 2-pack of capacitive styl-..styluses-...styli-..sty...stylusseses...
I can vouch for this capacitive stylus design; it comes in a 2pack ($15)
capacitive=passive, universal (like the ****s of conductive rubber that come attached to pens, but like different material and on steroids)
amazon /MEKO-Universal-Precision-Capacitive-Replacement/dp/B00N1BRWLA/
they have a stubby end which is very very responsive but not very accurate for writing (if you write small like i do)
and they have a plastic end with a disk on it, with a piece of metal that has a thin layer of plastic over it, and touches via proximity, you can see exactly what the point is drawing when you're using this end, but it can be a little unresponsive
(i accualy took a nail file to the plastic tip and sanded down so the metal gets closer to my screen, and it started working g r e a t )
ASUS also makes a capacitive stylus with the plastic disk tip. comes without the microphone-like end, and comes in a one-pack tho ($15)
amazon /Transformer-BoxWave-FineTouch-Capacitive-Precise/dp/B00TUPRFP4/
as far as active stylusesesyli go, there are a few zenpad ones on amazon for like $200, which hecking sucks, i'm really sorry. have you checked the compatibility of the ASUS pen? ($50)
amazon /Asus-Active-Stylus-Silver-90NB0000-P00100/dp/B01LYQEREB/
how about the wacom bamboo pen? this is another good generic microsoft-compatible active stylus. ($66)
amazon /Wacom-Windows-Touchscreen-Devices-Surface/dp/B076VQB8DQ/
also the BETOP surface pen is a very good microsoft-compatible active stylus ($40)
amazon /dp/B0716LK55W/
i really hope this helps! it's super hecked that ASUS still sells zenpads but no z stylus. you technically CAN buy a z stylus on amazon, but it's like a dang collectors item ($200+)
amazon /Stylus-ZenPad-Z580CA-Z300C-Z500M/dp/B014D6K38U/
also probably the highest rated active stylus that's in the lowest price range is the zspeed, which is rechargeable (bonus over most others listed here) and has a durable but not scratchy metal tip, assuming you don't drop it on concrete or something ($30)
amazon /Zspeed-Precision-Android-Samsung-Tablets/dp/B01LWJZ2JX/
I really hope that this list helped you decide! there are T O N S of options for you, and i wish there was a way for me to time travel and get you that Z stylus!
xx kendall
This place sells z stylus for a normal $37.00. I just ordered one, let's see how it goes. Link bellow,

Boo sold out
Ok so we've all searched for a replacement for the HTC keyboard folio with little success (especially with its battery issues). End your search.
After extensive research and trial and error, I have found a nearly equivalent substitution!
The model is the Belkin Form Fit Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 Keyboard case.
I picked one up on eBay for $15 but YMMV with respect to price.
Fitment - With just a bare Nexus, the case is too big and does not hold the tablet. But...with a simple acrylic case around the tablet, everything functions as normal! The tablet snaps in place and stays secure in the case and fits PERFECTLY. The only issue is that (obviously) you can't use the camera or buttons while in the case. So what. I'll probably dremel a hole for the buttons though. Only other issue is that you need to use the included elastic strap to keep the case closed - otherwise it wants to sit slightly open. No big deal.
Performance - Keys are firm, spring back as expected, and are extremely well placed for a tablet keyboard, with several function keys at the top. I can't vouch for battery life because it isn't dead yet, but I'll report back when it dies.
Build quality - excellent. Belkin makes great products and this is no exception. The outside is some type of smooth, grippy stitched vinyl and plastic, and looks subtle but well-designed.
It charges in 2 hours with a micro USB charger, so you only need one cable. Bluetooth is reliable and quick.
Overall, this thing rocks!!! Go get you one!
glad you like it. I'm using a Brydge 9.7" keyboard. It turns the N9 into a really versatile device and has a backlit keyboard. It is a little big for the N9, but only about 7mm each side.
