Just got my Transformer in a bit ago and want a case... anyone know if http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0018LYCYK fits it? It looks like it should...
EDIT: Tossed an order in, already changed to "shipping soon" REALLY quickly. I'll update this thread once it arrives.
yeah, it fits great, i had it for my netbook, but now the transformer resides in it
Anybody know if these cases will fit with the keyboard dock?

Thanks a lot!
Seems like it would be a tight fit seeing how the Transformer is really 10.6 inches wide. I bought a case nearly exactly identical to this (the Amazon Basics one) and that is 12" external dimensions and is a tight fit. This case is smaller yet, at 11.5 external dimensions with similar padding.
That's the $5 case they were selling as the G Tablet case. It's a netbook case, so I bet it will fit with the keyboard.
i bought the exact same case. hope it fits!
Mine just came in and fits perfectly. I love it! It is like the case was made for it.

Do you think it will still fit with the dock and charger? The dock is another 0.5", at least.

10.2 . As far as the dock, it may fit ok. The charger fits in the front zippered pocket perfectly.
funny, i bought this same case yesterday. coming in tomorrow.
it's a netbook case so it should fit it with the dock just fine. it'll fill up the whole case but it'll fit.
Can any of you guys with this case upload some pics of your transformer in it? I think it looks perfect for the transformer.
Also, is there a consensus that the case will fit the tablet, keyboard, charger and cable simultaneously?
Yeah, pictures would be quite nice!
I still wonder why the 10" case can suite the transformer - according to amazon it is 25,4cm wide whereas the transformer is 27cm?!
Case is big even for tablet+dock.
Out of the four cases I have tried for the Charge I think I finally found my favorite. The Trident Aegis has some problems as did all the cases I tried but it is the best. It comes in 5 colors and they look great. I got the blue one and it looks as good in person as it does on the site.
The materials used are very nice and the surface has a great anti-skid finish that provides great in hand grip. The hard plastic outer shell covers all 4 sides of the phone for a tight fit. It is thicker then the Otterbox Commuter at the phones curve at the bottom but I actually like that. It gives the phone a great feel when using it in landscape mode. Even though it is a bit bulky it does fit in pockets easily. The corners of the case are heavily padded for drop protection.
All of the ports are covered to prevent dust, moisture or any other unwanted substance getting into them. I found that the usb port was hard to open at times (I have no finger nails) and that the hdmi cover opens a little to easily. The power button and volume rocker are covered as well and easily accessible. One of the things I really like is the dust filter on the speaker opening. The speaker is loud and clear and will not be getting dust in it. The lip that goes around the screen is not as big as the Otterbox but provides just as good of protection.
The protection this case offers is great. Its not as heavy duty as the Otterbox Defender or the Trident Kracken II but it is good enough for every day use. It comes with a screen protector that I did not use. I would recommend this case without a doubt. While its not perfect its does correct the things that I did not like about the Otterbox Commuter and provides just as good of protection. If I can get access to a camera at some point I will post some pictures to go along with the review.
Thanks for all of the info. both here and via PM.
I want to hold out for the Kraken 2, but my Otterbox is driving me nuts so I might just grab an Aegis.

The Kraken 2 looks pretty beast to be sure but I'm not sure if it's not just too think... Hows the thickness of it compared to the otterbox defender?

What aren't you liking about the Otterbox? I asking because I'm thinking of picking one up for myself.

The top and the bottom edges of the Otterbox are not covered by the hard plastic so it is kind of loose. The buttons are also covered which I don't like and the hard plastic is kind of slippery.

I don't like how the top of the silicon portion isn't supported by the hard case, so it easily separates from the phone if you lift the phone by that area.
I also find that, while it's nice to slip in and out of your pocket, the hard case is too slippery for my tastes. It slides off of sloped surfaces and I've almost dropped the phone a few times now.
Personally, I like having the hard buttons covered, but the silicon that covers the buttons doesn't seem to fit tight against the screen, so debris can work its way underneath.
I never use the HDMI port, so not having it protected by silicon makes no sense to me.
Don't let my dislikes make it seem like it's a bad case, it's not, but I think the Aegis will fit me better. The Aegis should arrive tomorrow, so we shall see.
I'm thinking of making a short video to show the differences between the cases. I'll let you know when it's up.
Moondrius and Romemo,
Have either of you had the Incipio case before your trident case? I'm wondering how they compare. I'm surprised to see the trident case so slim since I always incorporate trident cases to be monsters.
I had the Incipio double cover and the Feather and both were sent back. The double cover was alright until I noticed it covered the hdmi port. It did seem thin and less bulky. The Aegis is the most bulky of the 3 but in a good way I would say. Its slightly thicker at the bottom. I would say I liked the Double Cover more then the Otterbox but I used it for like 5 minutes. The Feather was complete garbage. Its a shame because I really liked the Feather when I had my Atrix.
Thanks. I have the Incipio double cover. I really like it since I never use hdmi, not sure I can handle anything that would be bulkier.

For the Incipio case? It's here:
http://www.myincipio.com/Samsung-Dr...CRYLIC-Hard-Shell-Case-with-Silicone-Core.asp
Does verizon sell the Incipio case for the Charge? If so, how much do they ask for it? I really like the looks of the Incipio case and I am just trying to figure out if a covered HDMI port is worth it. I get 25% off accessories at Verizon so if the price is reasonable I wouldn't mind picking one up to try it out.
So I get my Charge on Monday. I have the cyclops series trident case for the fassy. It felt good. Overall I liked it. So I purchased the aegis. I bought it from the same ebay seller I got the fassy from: cyclopscase.
A good price too 23.33 with free shipping.

My dust cover for the hdmi port ripped off yesterday. I went to go use it and while pulling the tab off of the phone it just ripped right off. That tab is really flimsy and I used very little force around it.

Yikes... Yeah, that's a definite weak spot. I was thinking that, if I go back to my Aegis, I would just remove that cover.
Is it easy to take in and out of the case? I bought the media dock and the car dock, which leaves no room for a case. So I've been using the zagg shield that covers the entire phone. Problem is with the car dock, the sides have been tearing off due to putting the phone in and out of the dock. It's pretty useless, so I want a real case, but I don't want to buy a new car or media dock for it.
Does the Aegis come off and on pretty easily?

IMHO no. The hard outer shell is designed to be a reeeeally tight fit around the soft inside cover. As a current owner I wouldn't want to constantly take it off and put it back on for a car dock. Plus I think it would eventually wear on the buttons and dust covers.

Damn, thanks for the response. I guess I'll be running the sides of my phone naked with the Zagg shield on the front and back
So it appears there are official keyboard and dock/charger options...but is it possible to use say a third party keyboard with the Touchpad? If so will any bluetooth keyboard work? Are there any other docks that work other then the HP one?
My Apple Bluetooth keyboard works without a hitch.

Post Cheap HP Touchpad Accessories, Sleeves and Covers
Looking for cheap Accessories, Sleeves and Covers, so if you find some share with us as I am sure many people will be looking at getting some.
a question for people who have had them for some time, is a case or screen protector necessary? Does the screen scratch easily, or will I be fine without one? I never like to use cases, my evo and xoom were fine without one, but i keep hearing that the build quality of the touchpad is not that great so thinking about getting something to protect it.

jonhern,
I would say a case is necessary just to make your tablet more portable. I would hate to put it in my backpack and mess up the screen because you don't have a case around it. I don't think the screen protector is necessary, but if you don't want a case it might come in handy. Just remember, you'll have a 10 inch piece of glass floating around that would be very easy to scratch.
Also, this isn't really a cheap case but it is very high quality:

I have a version of this case for my nook color and love it. It's very sturdy, looks quite professional, and has a built in stand with multiple positions. It is worth the money!

Yeah, when i took my xoom anywhere i would just stick it into my leather folder legal pad. nothing ever happened to it. just worried about the build quality of the touch pad and if it would be more prone to scratches, on the shiny plastic body and glass. the xoom was metal and glass, so felt more sturdy.
seen a few on ebay around 15 to 30 dollars for synthetic leather...

You need to be careful with the third party cases. Yes they may be cheap and look night, but they can hamper the tablets functionality.
I purchased the offical HP case off of amazon.
Why? Because it does not cover the bezel.
There is a swipe up function in webos that is suppose to be pretty neat, but typically (depending on your orentation) you swipe up from the bezel at the bottom to activate this feature. The feature actually only uses a pixel wide sensory area at the bottom of the screen...but people at precentral report difficulty activating this feature when the bezel is covered.
Hence why the touchpad case from hp does not cover the bezel.
People looking for info on buying a TouchPad and/or accessories should check out the action on SlickDeals.net. There are a bunch of recent threads on TouchPad totalling over 10 MILLION VIEWS!
Compatible $5 iPad 2 sleeve for HP TouchPad @ VZW
Several people on FatWallet have been reporting success with this iPad 2 sleeve from Verizon Wireless, currently for $5. Owners say the TouchPad fits just fine. Be forewarned though - VZW has a $35 restocking fee return policy, so if you buy, buy knowing you'll be keeping it if it doesn't work out for some reason. Not like you're out a lot, anyway.

I selected keyboard in Bluetooth and turned on my Apple Bluetooth keyboard and my touchpad could not see it.
Also anywhere to get another charger with the proper 5.3v 2amp at a reasonable price? You can't use just any USB charger because if it puts out only 5v it will take about 3 days to charge.

I would be interested in hearing what make/model you ordered, and how well it fits the tablet. I'm looking for something to keep the fingerprints away .
Anyone ordering an iPad cover for use with the TouchPad needs to be sure to order a cover designed for the original iPad, not the iPad 2. The original iPad dimensions are extremely close to those of the TouchPad, but the iPad 2 is much thinner. The TouchPad will not fit in most cases designed for the iPad 2.
I'm getting a Note 4 here soon and wanted some recommendations on accessories. Trying to keep things under $100 shipped for everything. Mainly the two things I need is a good dock and case, as well as a fitness arm band. I'm an Uber driver and the app does not rotate into landscpae mode so something that I can use in portrait or landscape is a pluss but the biggest thing is dead reliable and easy to remove and compatible with the case. As far as the case goes well I don't want anything ridiculous bulky but definitely something that will protect the phone from minor wear and tear and prevent damage in the event of drops. A waterproof case is not a requirement unless said case maintains hte profile of not being too bulky.
I have more portable battery chargers, usb cables, and chargers than I know what to do with. So I am good on those
For cases that provide good protection yet keep it not too bulky check out the seidio solez pro which is a hybrid case and also includes a kickstand, also my favorite is the speck candy shell grip case provides excellent protection and gruo while being pretty slim. I hear the Samsung OEM protective cover is good too. As far as docks I use the iottie one touch dock.

I have the slightly older version my charging Port is fully accessible while docked but the s pen is not, the newer version may allow that though.

Those look pretty nice. RIght now im looking into the Seidio Dilex and the Ballistic Tough Jacket Maxx. The Ballistic is somewhat on the bulkier side but it comes with screen protection and I've owned Ballistic cases before and they are ROCK solid.
I went ahead and ordered an iOttie One Touch 2
get the iblason armorbox and the samsung oem qi back. an itian wireless charger + a 3 coil charger for the desktop and some 3m double sided tape for fixing the itian in your car and you should be good.

I tried the Tech 21 and now have the Samsung Protective cover.
The Samsung Protective Cover is FANTASTIC. And the same night I got the phone, Samsung sent me a 50% off any item in their store under $50 so I bought the case with it. Its slim, fits well, It almost looks like the Note 4 was made as a rugged phone and doesnt have a case on it at all. I would rate it a 10 out of 10. the tech 21 I woudl rate a 4 out of 10, I knew when I was putting it on I didnt like it.

You will have access to the charging port but the S-pen isn't that easy to get in and out. Here are some pics I recently took of it http://imgur.com/a/GP92Y
The s-pen has to be pulled on a little bit so it makes it difficult to try and wiggle it out while driving. It's not impossible though.

Hi,
I highly recomend you the original Samsung Vehicle Dock.
I got it since December and I love it, I don't know how I could live without it!!
Greetings.
I'm looking for a simple leather-type case with a wrap around cover that also works as a kick stand. Under $30.
I don't see using the dock much since my primary uses are movies on a plane and reading in bed. Compatibility with the dock is a nice to have.
Speck has one, just got it. Pretty nice though I wonder why the pen loop is on the bottom vs the top of the case, I don't like that. Otherwise a nice case.
