Thin carrying sleeve (not case) for tablet with dock

Does anyone recommend a sleeve to travel with the tablet and dock? I'm looking for a tight fit so that it doesn't take much space.
Since I live in The Netherlands I would appreciate one that is purchasable in Europe.

Nice protective sleeve/case
I bought this one, it's extremely cheap with free worldwide shipping. It looks good, and feels soft on the inside. It has a black texture just like the picture shows.

It's from dealextreme, I'm actually really happy with my purchase, all I need to know is if it fits nice. From looking at the specs it should fit, with the dock.

Nice, thank you. Though I do think it may look somewhat cheap.

I'll just try TranSleeve from Transformer TF201 on Monday.

No, it's only for the tablet itself, but I believe it is actually more convenient (a protecting case works fine for me when using both). Thought you might still be interested I've just got myself the TF201 TranSleeve and it's a really nice addition. Fits the Infinity like a charm. It is sth I actually need while having the dock disconnected. Otherwise the dock gives me similar "functionality" (protecting the screen and having the tablet work in various positions)
Here is the official webpage: http://www.asus.com/Peripherals_Acc...s/Eee_Pad_Transformer_Prime_TF201_TranSleeve/
Holding it feels really nice, I think ASUS made quite a good job with this one. There is a "Dual" version coming, which can cover the dock too, but I'm not sure if or when it is going to be available in Europe:

Any idea on pricing?

Depends on where you live. Should be around 40 USD each in the US. Not sure why, but I got mine in Poland for about half that (normally electronics and peripherals are somewhat more expensive here than in the US).

I bought this one; http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006C64C6E/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00
I don't have it yet, nor the infinity, but if the Prime and TF300 fit as well as they say then the TF700 should be fine. I don't know about availability in Europe. I should be receiving both items in the next couple of days.

I'll go with something out of these or similar. Already talked with this shop directly and they confirmed they can do custom size sleeve. Send them dimensions of infinity+dock and all is well.
Love the retro style :cyclops:
There are many more shops on etsy with ipad/imac/tablet sleves, covers, hoodies etc.
Not all are willing to create custom sizes.
Maybe, if Infinity goes really popular, they will include it as an option.

These linen sleeves look really nice. Had one of those for my laptop. Unfortunately some "cloth dust" (less than threads - many tiny pieces of linen) would stay on the screen and keyboard.

they look really nice and if you google for the brand then there are some reports they are really good.
I'll give an review if I get one.
Or does somebody own one by any chance?

I have a black neoprene netbook sleeve i used on my og transformer. Fits the tablet with and without the dock. Maybe a little thicker than you're looking for, but offers some drop protection

I got myself the same, it's ok, no zippers and all, light and thin, but it does leave tiny bits of fibre on the device, not sure why, as this is an artificial material, perhaps it's just flying all around.

I have this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ASUS-EeePad...K_iPad_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item1c22d82916
It's stretchy.

Let us know how this one is. Out of the cases I've seen on Amazon, this one looks the best for my needs.

Don't look only at sleeves marketed for the TF700T...
I took my TF700T w/ dock into Best Buy yesterday to try it for fit in what ever they had on the shelves. I found a sleeve that's marketed for the HP mini fit my tablet like a glove. It does have an external pocket where keep the charging cable, AC adapter, and the microfiber cloth. Only costs $20USD.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olstemplatemapper.jsp?skuId=9926416&type=product&tab=7&id=1218196187925
I just checked Amazon, and they have the same sleeve for $8.35USD. http://www.amazon.com/HP-WV594AA-10-2-Inch-Sleeve/dp/B003UT7QD2 Seems I paid BB a bit over $11USD for the privilege of being able to actually touch the product, physically compare multiple products, and to get the product right away. But it also proves the product isn't a BB exclusive. Probably should be able to find it anywhere in the world where the HP mini is sold.

Bummer.
It's normally good to compare. I bought mine on an e-auction (not ebay, but similar) for like ~$3, it's meant for netbooks too.

Looking for TPU / silicone / gel protective covers

Hi all,
My TF700 won't leave my home (I have a Nexus 7 for that) but I would like to still protect it with as little bulk as possible. If I do go out I'll put it in a protective pouch.
I know there are TPU / Silicone cases for the Prime but I believe the buttons are in different locations so I'm looking for protective skins that are designed specifically for the Infinity.
Thanks,

I'm looking for something like this as well. Would be even better if there was one that would work with a dock. Anyone have any recommendations?

None to my knowledge. Not sure if they were made for previous models, but if so you could cut the holes inbthw right places.

I am also waiting for a silicone/rubber/TPU case to be made... don't much like the leather ones.
There were some made for the prime, with good feedback. Not sure how long it will take before we start seeing them for the tf700.

Oops, wrong thread, sorry.

Hopefully one shows up eventually
I've setup a Google Alert for tf700 tpu cases on ebay. Hopefully one shows up some day.

I'd love a TPU case for my TF700, and it's keyboard dock. It would make it indestructible!
Ok, maybe not... But then I really could stop worrying about it so much. For the time being though, I'm waiting on my Skinomi Carbon Fiber skins for both the TF700 and the dock to arrive.

No, it doesn't fit into the dock with the tpu-case on, you have to remove it or remove a part of the case.
Currently I'm using the same case desiged to fit a tf300 and cut some more holes (microHDMI, headphone, more space for miscrosd) into it.
The grip is very good. Compared to my nilkin cases (One X and Nexus 7), theses cases feel better, because of rough areas where you normaly hold your devices, this case is completely smooth.
I will update my impressions as soon i have the real tf700 case.

Currently i only have one case, tf300 with cuts to fit my tf700. As soon i have the ones for my tf700 i will cut the old one to fit into the keydock.
Maybe it will keep its stability, but currently i dont want to risk ruining my tpu-case, i need it to protect my tablet. :laugh:
If usps & our custom authorities are fast i will have my case in about 2 weeks, if they're slow it can take 2 months or more.
Maybe someone within the us of a will be faster with an reviev, but i will give feedback asap.

Updated links to ebay with "smoke"-case.
They had a mistake in the description of the smoke-case, they wrote "tf300" instead of "tf700", now the description seems to be right.
I linked all available colors: blue, purple and smoke.
Currently i have their case for the tf300 with (ugly looking ) homemade cutouts in smoke, it's a transparent grey, so you can see the "asus" brand through the case.
It feels more like ruber then my nillkin cases, hard to describe the tactile feeling.

I got mine today. Purple of course =)

Ordered the gray one, and cut it up so that the keyboard attaches, not too bad.
Only problem seems to be my protractor skills, and a bit of clipping when opening the screen all the way back. Works great though

Full Body Skin Protector - ArmorSuit MilitaryShield

Has anyone used ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity 700 Screen Protector + Full Body Skin for the TF700? If so, what is your opinion. I wanted to buy a screen protector for my TF700 but I am thinking about getting this instead.
Any other suggestions?

Used on my Galaxy Note.
If you use a hard point stylus, then stay away. I used on my note and it was great, except with the "S-Pen" it messes up and creates this weird almost bubble like look under the skin. This brand of SP is a wet install type. You get a little spray bottle, rubber squeege, and cloth along with the SP. Wet installs are very easy to apply, adjust, remove/reapply untill you get it right (as long as its still wet). It has a slight rubbery feel to it. I grew to prefer it, although some do not like it. This rubbery type texture helps keep it from sliding around when laid down on a center console or dash area of a vehicle and helps you keep from slipping and dropping your device. Expect the front and back pieces to be the only usable pieces, if it comes with any side pieces that are small, they never seem to stay. The company its self is great, many amazon vendors are total crap and are impossible to get decent service through. I love them and will probably get one for my TF700 eventually, but went with a regular clear already as they wernt available.

Chief Geek , thanks for the detailed reply. I forgot to mention that I am fimiliar with the product as I recently used screen protector from the same company for my Nexus 7 and I really like it. My question was more in regards to the quality/fit on TF700 specifically and also wanted to know if putting the full body skin have any issue with docking the tablet.

The fit has always been good, I've used them on a hand full of devices. As for the dock, good questions I don't use a dock KB on mine so it never really crossed my mind. Be sure to update if you go for it and get one. Skinomi makes a carbon fiber full skin too.

I sent an email to ArmorSuit asking about the fitment with dock. Will you know once I get a reply from them.
Update:
Following is the reply that I received from ArrmorSuit
Hello,
Thank you for contacting ArmorSuit.
We apologize for the inconvenience, but our screen protectors are still not compatible with any docking systems.
The same problems with the docking systems, still arises with our screen protectors.

Someone said the tf201 Zagg Sheilds fit perfect on the TF700 so I went and ordered a full body sheild. I will let you know how it fits when I get my next TF700.

I'm getting the Skinomi full body skin for the tablet and dock, will be here tomorrow. Not planning on using the screen protector as I already have an anti-glare one on the tablet, just wanted the body and dock protection.
I'll report back when I get it installed as to how well it fits and works with the dock.

Do those skinomi and the armor cover in the first post cover the sides too.

I'm using dark wood from Skinomi, my opinion, it's OK. didn't cover the edge fully, easy to install, nice and flat, almost impossible to have bubbles. You can peel it of and re apply about 10 times. After that, you need a hair dryer, set to warm and blow for a couple seconds for it to stick again. It came with a nice screen protector (wet type). The reason I said it's OK, because when I hold the 700, I felt the rough edge, kind of uncomfortable.

Edit: just did a full review (with pics) for the tablet and dock skinomi skins. Thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29614778#post29614778

sick of crappy cases

I'm planning to get a skinomi carbon fiber skin for my infinity cos Im starting to hate cases now (don't even have one for my mobile).
But I want something to protect my screen and use as a stand and not cover the back.
Perfect I'll get the transleeve.
EXCEPT I can't seem to get the thing from anywhere!!!!
I'm from Australia BTW, so no retail stores sell it (that I'm aware of). The only ones I can find on the net are on eBay, but its pink. There is also another seller from the UK but they have it from $80 !!!!
Where can I get one of these covers. Otherwise I might have to settle for a sleeve with a built in stand or something.

I bought this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/360-Rotatin...es_Covers_Keyboard_Folios&hash=item4abcb180c9
Have been using it for the last couple of days and this has been the best case I've owned. It looks nice and is convenient enough to take anywhere. Well worth the money and is even better than some of my more expensive cases...

Overall I am very happy with it. It's a decent shell that cradles the unit with a "leather" that wraps around that. I don't know how
genuine any of these materials are but they seem fine.
The ring in the middle seems to be where all the magic happens. It spins very easily.
In response to rndmnss's concern over the ring scratching the back of the infinity I spun my
infinity around in this thing like a propeller for a bit and after taking it out I couldn't see any
scratches, BUT the way the back of the infinity is polished (those circular patterns) I'm not sure
I would've been able to tell if it was scratching it. I to a picture with a playing card against the ring
to show just how close it really is. If I was really concerned about it scratching I would file just a
little off of the ring. There is enough there it shouldn't mess with functionality to lose a little.
The only problem i had was when using the case as a stand once it sat a little crooked after
looking around i seen that the back hadn't rotated completely. It was an easy adjustment and
hasn't happened since.
I wasn't sure about the edges at first. They look like they were melted to the right size but they
seem to grab the four corners just fine.
The cutouts are good everywhere for me. Volume and Power buttons seemed weird at first but
thats just because i was so use to them with no case. Camera also seems pretty protected.
There are only two positional grooves in the microfiber instead of three on most. Another one or two
would have been nice for versatility but these work just fine in both portrait and landscape orientations.
The thickness of it also works well. Feels slim yet thick enough that there is plenty to hold on to.
The case fits tight enough that there is NO room inside i would feel comfortable squeezing a stylus into
it but there is plenty of room to slide the clip on the stylus in the edge. I bend the clip so it would fit
more to my liking (not to hard or soft).
Spinning it 180 degrees and closing works great for charging. Without a dock to test with I'm not sure
if there is enough room to plug it into one when in this position.
Overall I really love it (especially for $15). Once I get a keyboard dock I will need to look at some other
options but this would still be great for when not using the dock and it comes in and out of the case easy
enough you could swap between this another case without any trouble.
This is the listing I used
http://www.ebay.com/itm/160888793528?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
Bought it on 10/04 and it arrived on 10/12
Hope this helps.

looks like just what i was looking for. might order soon... thx for the reply:good:

Wow,
Pretty sweet!
It protects the corners.
Wish I could run to a store a get it right now.
Nice case.

Yeah I got one of those for my iPad. It a great type of case but it really adds quiet a bit of bulk, which is what I'm actually trying to avoid with the whole skin + transleeve thing here. I mean what's the point of buying a tablet this thin when I'm just going to add a cover which adds so much bulk.
I hate to say it but apple knew what they were doing when they made the smart cover + case. Gives enough protection while still keeping the tab slim. I don't know what more you could ask for.
The Asus transleeve had good potential except for the fact that the build quality is apparently horrible and it didn't really have a closing mechanism to keep the cover from flopping around. Also the whole scratching thing (but the skin would have kinda protected it from that).
I'm sure I would have got a few looks from those iPad owners when i folded up that weird origami stand.
Oh well ill just buy a standard sleeve then ... disappointed.

I don't worry about the glass very much. It's Gorilla glass 2, which can take quite a beating. heck, I dropped an inifinity onto a concrete floor from about five feet. Glass was prefectly fine. Can't say that about the rest of the case; metal bend, plastic cracked through.
Personally, I just bought a netbook sleeve for storage and transportation. Bought a portable folding stand. I keep the charger, stand, and various cables in sleeve pouch. Not perfect, but works enough. Then again, I wasn't trying to have an Android iPad.

I'd really like a "smart cover" type of case too. I know Asus sells one, but the engineering seems to be pretty bad.

[Short review] +simpliasm dockable TPU case

Hi,all
I'd been searching for some times about cases that fits dock. I finally got one a week ago so I will share my experience about it.

At first glance: The case is very slim. When you snapped in the case, it is not obviously noticeable. If you really like the design of your Xperia Z, this case would maintain its beauty very well.
Docking your phone: You have to use a bit more force in order to dock since the case added a bit of thickness to your phone (just a bit more force, not really much).
Quality: Although the design is great, the quality does not follow. The backplate is not really flat, some areas pop out so you can feel that you device is partially curvy. The material looks fine but the strength is not so good. After using the case together with the dock for a week, all corners of the case are cracked (but the shape is still maintained)
Summary
Pros: thin, barely noticeable
Cons: curvy back, easily cracked

Great review! Question where can i get this? Thanks!

It seems fine, the only dockable case I've seen till now.
I've googled it and found it but it's over 20$ + shipping. It's a big expensive from my point of view for being. I've seen it at 27$ that is 20-21€ shipping included in shop.brando.com
Could you please tell us where you've gotten it it and how much it has cost?
Thanks!

I've googled it and found it but it's over 20$ + shipping. It's a big expensive from my point of view for being. I've seen it at 27$ that is 20-21€ shipping included in shop.brando.com
Could you please tell us where you've gotten it it and how much it has cost?
Thanks!

Purchased from Brando. 27$ in total (shipping to Thailand)

Is it TPU or is it hard plastic? From the pictures it seems to be the hard plastic type, aka polycarbonate.

Oh, I can read the title too.
But if YOU read the review properly, he mentions that the disadvantage is that it can be CRACKED. I've been using TPU cases for my phones and I know if it's TPU, you can't 'crack' it.

It's TPU but it can crack. Imagine a one time use plastic cup. It can be teared. The casr crack the same way.

You're confusing TPU with styrofoam. You can not crack TPU ("excellent mechanical properties, combined with a rubber-like elasticity", just Google it) . So this case is clearly not TPU if it can crack.

Sorry guys. I just checked with the official website trinity.jp. It is made from Polypropylene not Polyurethane (TPU) so it was my false.
TPU is a kind of plastic anyway

I was considering getting this case, the cracking issue is putting me off now.
what did you think caused the cracks?

Couple days ago, I just break it into 2 pieces. I used another case then changed to +Simplism, right before I put on the case, I'd held the case with both of my hands then pushed the part that poped out. It then broke into 2 parts.
So I tried an experiment, I flicked a broken part with my fingers as hard as I could. The result? It cracked.
I assumed that Polypropylene that the case is made of has low elasticity.
I just ordered 2 new anyway. Ther is no choice for me. The only low-profile way to protect while docking is this case. Otherwise, you will have to buy Noreve flip case, but it is bulky.

Just fitted the black one fits nice and tight I suspect taking it off again may be a problem and with free screen protector as well not bad gives some protection the attraction is not having toll take it out to charge in the dock

I have black one too, but i think that case is just a bit too small.

I got the white one and personally, I wish I'd saved my money. I have a small air bubble across the back and I don't actually think it would protect my phone if I dropped it. Oh and it feels like your holding tissue paper.

anybody has try this case into a alternative chinise copy dock? the $10 dock? thank you

I would like to order this one, but I would also like to know how is with 3rd party docks. Iv'e got both models of 2rd party and I would also like to know if it is possible to order this kind of case to europe? I know it is possible to order from http://chuwajapanimports.wazala.com/, but it is really overpriced ($21 + $35 for shipping).

I've use this case for about a month, it cracked after 2 drops to smooth marble floor around 1 meter height. phone was protected from scratch.
