[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.

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.

Rubber covers on bottom of tablet?

I received my 700 with the 2 rubber keyboard covers missing from the bottom. It may be trivial but, my concern is that dust my find its way under the screen. Has anyone else received their tablet this way? One other question, I have several areas along the bottom of the screen that have notable screen bleed during boot up. Do others have any screen bleeding?

No covers on mine also.
No screen bleeding.
Gorilla glass seems not to be well glued. Sometimes when i squeeze top left corner of the screen black frame, it clicks.

I have no issues with the screen being glued, just the bleeding at boot up. I had the same issues with screen bleeding on the TF 201. Went thru several replacements and still could not find one without any screen bleeding. Some better than others but none without any.

My TF700 came with two rubber covers to close off the attachment holes the dock pins go into, I believe that is what you are referring to, right, OP? Shame you're probably not based in the Netherlands, as I do not need them and would gladly give them away.

I've heard that Asus discontinued their use after a lot of prime owners tried to dock their tablets without taking the rubber feet out.

Yes, that's wat I'm referring to. Thanks for the thought, not a big deal just found it unusual as the TF201 had them and the TF700 does not.

Wow nice info thanks.
I really hope that I get those rubber thingys as I do not plan to use the dock.
Is there a rubber thing for the connector too?
Maybe I should make my own?

You could always get the transleeve as it plugs up the ports nicely. the only other option I can think of is to put tape over them or find piece of silicone that might fit in the holes.
Also DarsVaeda mine came with a plastic thingy to fits into the charging port. No silicone nubs in the holes for the keyboard though.

Okay I guess I'll have to wait and see but there is hope
Thanks!

My tf700 also came without covers, but that's been discussed here before and I didn't expect them. However I do have a bit of backlight bleed at the bottom of the screen, but it doesn't bother me as it's only noticeable when you are on a black screen, or at bootup.

Did not see where it was discussed before, I think a good potion of these tablets not only Asus have some sort of screen bleed. Most of the time what you have stays that way, but I know of people who had minor scree bleeding and it got worse.

Hm.. I hope it doesn't worsen in the future. I've owned many other screens (monitors and tv's) with slight bleeding that where hardly noticeable and didn't worsen. Hopefully that's the case with this.

There is a plastic plug/cover for the connector. I'm sure it will eventually get lost.

You know I wonder why asus did not put a spring loaded mechanism in the docking holes. You know kinda like the thing in a PeZ dispenser, when you put the tablet on the dock it would push them in the tablet and when you undock it the covers spring back in place.

Very good idea... That would be a nice solution....
By the way, does anyone else find the USB port "cover" on the dock almost impossible to remove??? I eventually just left it out as it makes the USB port *very* frustrating to use!
I too have some light bleed on the bottom of my TF700. It's really only noticeable on the black boot-up screen though (I guess the backlight is at full brightness during boot-up?)

The case I ordered kind of takes care of this for me:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008FP3LZ8
I don't plan on using a case when I dock it anyway, so that should be fine. I think it's beneficial for people who don't plan on using a dock, so the case they chose can be a more permanent solution.

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
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using Tapatalk 2

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.

I just wanted to comment on the stylus that comes with the deal.
Never seen one like it.
Pretty neat-o little thing...very different design.
Wonder who makes those?

Something with a little more protection (and style)

I know the prices do not compare, but check this out. It's what I have, but I got it on sale. You can also look at all of their bags that will suit the infinity. See if this works.

not sure if you decided to go with that or not, but I got http://www.amazon.com/Retro-Canvas-...1650340&sr=8-1&keywords=israeli+parachute+bag and it was pretty amazing. It houses both my 15 inch laptop several power cords and my tablet with keyboard, while still being fairly small. I have had it for a while, and it is the second such bag that I have owned, It takes a beating, and is well worth the price. I don't use a sleeve for my tablet, but I either have the keyboard dock or cover I purchased on, and I have had no scratch problems.

Order 2 of these (one for my son for his tablet; mostly for SL101 and adapter but sometimes with the SL101 and TF700 and one for my nephew for his iPad). Unfortunately, the price went up since I got it (doubled).
Case Logic QTA-110

with carrying a PS3 controller, you may want to go with more a brief case style travel bag. I would be worried about accidently breaking the controller since it'll likely the thickest thing in the page and protruding the most in the pocket.
I don't have recommendation because I use the sleeve. I do have a PS3 controller, but I keep mine in the topperware bin with a Wiimote and classic controller. I also drag around a OnLive universal controller too, but don't have a carrying case/topperware bin for it.

Using tf701 dock

Has anyone tried using the tf701 dock with the tf700. I. Am looking at getting the dock so my tablet can replace my laptop and i am trying to look at all the options. I am really interested if this would work so i can have a usb 3.0 port instead of 2.0. I know the tf701 is .3mm thicker that the tf700, but i do have a screen protector and carbon fiber back protector on it so maybe that will fill in the gap.

There have been alot of discussions about the new TF701 and its dock. The main issues revolve around the new (smaller) proprietary connector on the TF701, so to answer your question no, unfortunately the data connections don't mate.

tried
yep i tried different socket dont fit tf701 dock

I've been using the tf300 keyboard and it works flawlessly! The tablet fits a bit loose on the keyboard bay but I just use some leftovers of a skin protector that I had from an older phone to make some padding to make if fit a bit tighter. The tf300 battery has a bigger battery than the tf700 one.
