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?

You may want to read through then post if its not mentioned in the thread thats underway about cases at the below link.

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-

So far it seems like only the Astro 3 outputs the 12v all transformer devices need. You will need to buy a USB 3.0 female to female adapter as well at the bare minimum. I have a keyboard dock but I am very active with my infinity and it will run out of juice within a day if I forget to turn off my tablet at night (it'll be like 30% in the morning). The Astro 3 guarantees that I won't run out of battery in an 8 hour work day when combined with the keyboard dock.

thanks a lot
its very good list

Nice
Thanks a lot! very useful, already looking for options.

Great resource, thanks.
My opinion, but it just seems that ASUS is dropping the ball on cases/accessories for the Infinity... it's their flagship tablet and is prolly the best one on the market currently. It'd be nice to head into my local Best Buy, Office Depot, etc. and see a selection of cases available to choose from.

I totally agree, it would be refreshing to see cases for Non-Apple devices at BB. Do you think they will release another transformer before the holidays?
A little sidetrack but I heard Samsung has something up their sleeves with a crazy ass display but i forgot what it was called. Anyone know the name? Thinking about switching my TF700.

Thanks for the accessories resource - very useful

Word of advice for everyone:
Do not get this rooCase slim fit case!
http://amzn.to/11G7lFF
I ordered it because I wanted a thin case but this case did not fit! The corners were so snug I gave up because I didn't want to scratch up my tf700. It went straight back in the mail.

I purchased the rooCASE Executive Portfolio Case Cover (100% Genuine Leather) and I LOVE IT! Because I will be using my Infinity to help sell my photography for different vendoring events, this rooCASE will stand my tablet up in either portrait or landscape mode which most cases don't do -- it's usually one or the other, not both! It also has 2 small slots holders for business cards, a medium sized slot that holds the micro-fiber cloth that came with the tablet, and a large slot which holds my note pad. There's even an elastic band on the spine which holds my Bamboo Solo Stylus.
I nice complete package of high quality (including the zippers) which goes anywhere from $29.99 to $39.99.

Nice list, thanks !:good:

Looks like a great case but I was actually for something slimmer.

Slip case recommendations?

I'm thinking I'll dump the folio that I've been using for a slipcase.
The reason is I don't really need or want a stand and I'll probably start using the tab on a mount in my truck anyhoo.
I believe it may be just easier to hold onto the tablet then slip it for protection.
I'd like to find something dawg hair proof (like there is such a thing)
Been scouring Amazon plus I looked at the Fry's near us, but searching just wears me out.
Soooo I turn to the illustrious members of this great forum for perhaps a place to start.
Searched the forums and found a few dated threads.

You mean this kind of case http://www.bodyguardz.com/universal-tablet-sleeve-protection-cases-covers-sleeves-shield.html?dir=asc&order=sort_priority ?

if you are looking for one with some protection. The one I have is great (especially if you have the dock as well).
google "built ny hoodie laptop case" and look for the 7-10" one. Tablet fits in it like a glove and it has some protection on the sides and back (unlike a normal neoprene sleeve)... though it is obviously alot thicker than just neoprene
I managed to find mine at Canada Computers for CAD $4.99 on sale (in black.)
sorry cant post links yet..

FYI, that sleeve will not fit with Transformer. If you look at the dimensions of the iPad and Infinity, they are different. That sleeve is for the iPad. Cancel your order.
I bought a HP sleeve before that was on sale for 1$. It fits my iPad but not my Infinity.
This would probably work well if you have the dock.
http://www.amazon.com/CaseCrown-Sue...1490&sr=8-1&keywords=transformer+prime+sleeve

Just got this one in. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006IKHPZO/ref=oh_details_o02_s01_i00 It is padded, semi rigid, and will fold into a stand.

I just got this one (Oops, can't post links yet. Search Amazon for "TSS13505US") and I'm happy with it, especially for $8.99 and free shipping. My Infinity + Dock fit nicely inside and the padding feels quite protective.

I got this HP 10" netbook slip case, someone suggested on here: http://www.amazon.com/HP-WV594AA-10-2-Inch-Sleeve/dp/B003UT7QD2/ref=cm_cmu_pg__header. Works nice. Has a pocket to store cables, chargers, portable stands, and so on. If you go the link, the six pictures on the case on the red desk, are from me. There is a picture of the TF700 in the case, and various stuff in the pocket. Plus, it's only $10

Brenthaven Pro Sleave for Macbook Air. Superb case for Tablet with Dock. I have two one for the TF300 and one for the TF700
It's like it was made for it. Nice thing is, if they have it in stock you can try it at your local Microcenter rather than ordering online without seeing. They have two sizes, the smallest one fits the TF700 and TF300. If you order from Brenthaven's website it comes in multiple colors.

[Q] Any comments on the official Versa Sleeve?

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.

Ultra slim smart cover (pics)

I just ordered this ultra slim cover for my tf700 its slim and light, and not bulky it also has a stand for movie watching and for typing as well, i like how it covers the back and has all holes for the ports and speaker its a non branded cover that was shipped from hong kong took 2 weeks to get here, below i will post a link to the website I ordered and some pictures of the cover. price $15
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ASUS-Transf...es_Covers_Keyboard_Folios&hash=item35c43bb49b

looked really closely at that one, but went with the TPU Hard Gel instead. Post a review once you have used it a while and let us know what yoiu think of it.

Looks really good, thinking of a purchase. How's it lasted so far?

cover - check
slim - check
ultra - so so
smart - not even close

Ive had it for a couple days now and i like it, I like how now i don't have to worry about placing my tablet down on its back to avid scratches on the aluminum back, another thing i like is that it has a stand to watch netflix or anything else while im at the table, that was the only reason I used the keyboard dock now i wont have to attach and detach the keyboard dock all the time, another thing i like is that its slim and dose not make the tablet look bulky like some leather ones i see on ebay, I was also looking at the hard tpu case but chose this cover because of the stand.

Couple of questions:
How stable is it when it's set up in the movie-watching position?
How much protection/padding is does it offer (if any)? It looks very much like a clone of the Apple smart cover, so I'm guessing not a whole lot.
The anal retentive in me dislikes that fact that the Asus logo is upside down when it's in the typing position, but whatever!
I guess it's a toss up for me between this one (cheap, cheerful, slim, long shipping time) and this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008OHFT5W/ref=gno_cart_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1GC47N5J8F7IJ
(more expensive, not so slim (but better protection), two-day shipping).

its really stable i can type in the movie watching position without tipping over, that i did notice that when i type laying down the asus logo is up side down, but that's not a problem for me, i also looked at the case you have on the link, it looks nice its not that bulky and also works as a stand, only thing i didn't like was the mat sticks out in front of you when watching a movie, and that it dose not cover all around the edge just the corners, other then that seems like a good cover, and padding looks a lil thicker on both sides front and back. over all im happy with the slim cover it dose what i need, the long wait for it to arrive is what i hated,

Thanks for the feedback. I've gone ahead and ordered the Acase one, as I'll need something pronto and the tablet is due to arrive today. I may pick up one like yours later on...we'll see.

It looks pretty!

I'd be afraid to break wind near that with it standing, might blow over.

For anyone looking for a high quality stable folio case, I highly recommend the Targus Truss case! I bought mine at my local Best Buy for my Asus Prime for $40. It fits the Infinity perfect, as both tablets are nearly identical. The only thing is the volume rockers are trickier to get to, but it's not an issue at all, just throwing only way you can tell it isn't made specifically for the Infinity
