I've modified my Poetic Hardback case to work with my TF700's keyboard dock. Basically, I cut the screen protection part of the case off so that it only covers the back of the tablet and its corners.
Link to product on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Protec...8&qid=1346535381&sr=1-1&keywords=tf700+poetic
I cut the screen protection half of the case off and relieved the material on the case's back that interfered with the keyboard's mounting area.

Here I cut the screen overlapping fingers a bit so the tablet would close all the way.
You can still use the hinge mechanism of the case as a kickstand (kind of like the Microsoft Surface kickstand : ) )
I just thought I'd share my successful modification with the rest of the community. This mod makes for a nice balance between convenience/thinness and protection.

i had it...cheaply made. after a couple of weeks, the edges began to chip.
(just realized, a fellow DFW member)
Looks a lot like my Seidio Innocase II Surface
i bought something similar. very cheap, and won't snap on if you have a skin installed on your phone
had it for a day, phone overheated->threw it out
PCtabletcases has a review of the Mini-Suit tablet+keyboard case, seems like there is a mix review of this case. But there is a lot of photos here so kudos to them.

YIKES really?!? Did you try lininig up the tablet and keyboard first before buttoning the two cases together?
Mine (with the Poetic name) did not scratch the tablet, but pealed up the "leather" right near the hinge. Just way too tight a fit. Really more material there than should be so the hinge is spread out wider than intended.

I'm hoping that maybe some case manufacturers troll these boards; why have we not seen any snap on hard cases or silicon cases for the asus tf700? A la;

I am aware of two silicone cases, but they are very bulky and absolutely horrid from an industrial design standpoint (ie: fugly).
What's it going to take to get some simple snap on cases for those of us who run the tablet without the keyboard dock?
There were two independant projects in the prime forum where people used their own money to construct cases. Current status as of last time i checked is one was on kickstarter and the other was waiting on production, tooling, etc.
They both said if the prime case was successfull and they could make their money back they would start on the infinity.
Likely because there is such a low number of people with infinities compared to, say, samsung or ipad, we will not likely see custom molded cases for our tablets any time soon.
Sorry :/
Hey just recently got this case, been using it for about two days, I purchased it from ebay for < $10, and as expected it's basically a TPU gel case except it's got a stand.
It's obviously raised a bit on the back in the middle for the kickstand, and I've gotten used to the bump on the back already, it's nice to use as a desk clock for those who haven't got a Orb charger yet, viewing angles are good and as expected will only work in landscape. The stand does 'feel' a bit cheap but has been holding up well (see what I did there??? ).
Using the phone while the kickstand is out doesn't seem to be a problem, it moves a little if you press too hard, but I've been able to gesture type SMS and while it's sitting on my desk.
Few pictures:

Size comparison between the TPU case with this case (with stand)
You can see the nice Nexus logo albeit a little cut off on the S.
After trying all the other slim hard cases that were available on Amazon. I finally found, the one I like the most. I should say, Vostrostone Ultra-thin PC Hard Case Cover are the best so far. They add no bulk what so ever and sometimes, I even forget the fact that I have the case on my phone. Fits tight and does not feel like its going to fall off the phone anytime. As with any minimalist case, this does not provide all around protection but the lip is raised on the glass that might protect incase your phone falls face down. Since, I baby my phones, I dont think that should be an issue for me.
It has all the perfect cutouts for all the ports, along with the camera, Mic and sensors in the back.
If you still looking for one: I would say, take the plunge you will not regret.
