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.

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)

Wonderful! Thanks for the images. Sounds like I might just actually be getting one of these after all.

can the tf201 sleeve work on the tf300t?
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

What about buttons layout?
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 ordered mine from best buy recently, and I wanted to get this cover, I wonder if it would be worth getting a screen protector as well to help protect against scratches? I just hate screen protectors...never had a good one on any phone.

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.

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.

Amazon UK and Asus shop both list them in Stock.
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.
As it seems, the keyboard case price is slightly if not very expensive, and glancing through several market Bluetooth keyboard case, I can't help but to think to acquire that over simply a dock then purchasing another case which is a lot of money. I have had difficulty finding a case that covers the edges of the tablet with bluetooth keyboard. Can any one of you suggest me one?

I'm not sure I follow.
By keyboard case, do you mean the keyboard dock? Or a case for the keyboard dock? Because the reason that the keyboard dock is more expensive is because it includes an additional full battery, usb port and full integration.
By Bluetooth keyboard case, do you mean a dock? Of a cover that includes a keyboard?
Of a cover that also includes a keyboard

Hmm... I don't believe there is one on the market that includes a keyboard and case all in one... and if you do fine one it definitely would be some kind of universal fit solution. Usually such cases use a universal bluetooth keyboard glued into a synthetic leather folio. It definitely would not "enhance" the transformer experience.
But I guess if you are looking for a keyboard that can be detached and used from further away than the option keyboard dock available that could work!
We have the Perfecto Pro that you can use the tablet and keyboard at once, and fold both the tablet and keyboard at once into the case. You can see them here: http://www.caseen.com/Transformer-Pad-Infinity-TF700-TF700T_c_49.html
But that may not be the solution you are looking for. I'm interested to see your response. So let me know!
I've actually decided to just purchase a Bluetooth keyboard with a touchpad which peaked my interest with a swiveling stand case typically seen on iPads for this tablet, I didn't see any tablet case with this nice of a keyboard attatched to it, so I may just have two separate entities

I've also found out that you could use USB universal leather keyboard case which then can be used with either attaching a Bluetooth dongle female making the keyboard discoverable or simply buying a female USB with Asus input plug in which would allow for me to use the keyboard, but as I previously stated, the touch interface built in the keyboard peaked my interest more than what the dock itself was capable.

Just in case it matters to anyone, I recently got the poetic case designed for tablet + keyboard dock. Its nice and all, but even if you don't use the elastic straps on the hing corners of the keyboard (they aren't necessary to hold it in, but keep it in place better), the case material that sits between the tablet and keyboard seems to thick. You real.y have to force the tablet into the dock, and once its in it seems like the puts a lot of strain on the hinge and bottom edge of tablet. It even seemed as if the bottom corners of the tablet where the hinges are were forced away from the keyboard, and there was a gap on either end of the notch thing you clip it into.
I extensively compared the reviews of all the tablet+dock cases on amazon before going with the poetic. The bad reviews of the other best choice were all talking about blocked ports and strain on the hinges. Most of the bad reviews for the poetic were from morons who were pissed it didn't come with the dock (like, really? They honestly thought a 250$ dock was included in a 17$ case? wtf. I cant believe reviews like that are tolerated.) I can also be pretty ocd when it comes to expensive electronics, but the tf700 is aging and I'm looking into getting an upgrade, otherwise I would be pissed.
My recommendation to anyone who has the dock connected a majority of the time and wants protection, would be to go with one of those protective skins, and find a padded zipper pouch to put it in while not in use. The cases that are supposedly made for the tablet + dock just seems like the best they could do with what they were given. The tf700 was never designed to fit in a case like that while connected to the dock, unfortunately.
