They have redesigned the Minisuit and the Poetic 2 piece cases and put the cutouts in the right spots. Of the two, I grabbed the Minisuit, since I have had both for the Prime, and there were almost identical - granted the Poetic is a TINY bit better, but nothing substantial. They are both "PU Leather" (look it up on Wiki - Modern technology permits up to three or four horizontal layers being taken from a single hide. The leather used in the backing of bicast or PU Leather is a thin layer, remaining after other layers have been removed for traditional leather work They actually have to dye a leather pattern back onto it for lighter colors, this is why I avoid the browns, even if they look... okay, they are not very natural real looking.
After this they coat this thin, THIN split leather with a layer of polyurethane applied to the surface and then embossed (to have a texture)
For the money? Its damn nice, feels super soft, shines beautifully (try Pledge, which list leather as one of its applications- shines really nice)
Anyway the MiniSuit is $11.95

And the Poetic is 18.95
http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Transf...words=minisuit+case+asus+transformer+infinity
- At these prices, you can't go very wrong, and they do protect your tablet and dock. They do make it thick as a big phone book though, LOL! I usually only "sheath" my Infinity when traveling or taking it outside the house.
I received my Poetic today from Amazon. As the previous poster stated when closed out its thick as a phonebook. However, for 18+ bucks this is a very nice case.

Just ordered the poetic case for $18,95
It seems nice and practical. Have to protect our baby
Can't understand why it is taking them until the 22 october to have it shipped to sweden.......
I was wondering if something like this existed. Last time I looked at the thread, I didn't noticed what I was looking for but this time I did.
I want the Dock easily removable, so I can, say, leave it in the car to be charged as I am running around on foot, using hte tablet in standalone mode only. I seems like either of these cases do exactly that, with what seems simple snaps that hold the dock part to the rest of the case.
Question - what exactly is the difference between the MiniSuit and the Poetic?

Ok so i got the Poetic delivered by mail today 6 days from US to Sweden, that was faster than i expected!!
Actualy you can snap off the keybord and that is easy with 2 simple snaps.
The drawback with that is that you loose a good method of closing it if you drop it, there should be some easy snapping for closing it.
I will attach that function by my self as it should be easy to do. and half the solution is in place already from where the keybord dock snappers are in place. Yes the Poetic case brings a little extra weight but on the other hand it protects the pad quite nice i think, and it looks good!
SD-Card can be reached aswell as USB, MicroSD, charging and camera. The keybord dock was not easy to fit in because the strappers are in the way, so i simply didn't attach them they aren't realy needed. I use the snappers only when i detach the keybord from the tablet and want to hold it in place.
Sorry for my english, but i hope you understand what i mean.
Best regards

SG Tab 8.9 accessories are hard to come by. I have been in search for a case/pouch for a while and I could not even source for the official cases. So the other day I came across a Chinese made case for 8.9 and picked it as there is absolutely no other choice in my location. Turns out that the case is fit for the purpose. The idea is borrowed from Ipad2 Smart Cover but who cares for concepts as long as the case does the job?
The (Smart***)case is same as the ones found in this following website. I picked the Grey one......
http://www.aliexpress.com/product-f...-Cover-Stand-Case-Cover-Skin-wholesalers.html
I had the same, but really didn't like it. There's a lot of extra rubber on the side, with no purpose at all.

But the quality is poor. I am very content with the blurex. Good Quality, reasonable price, stable and no unnescessary cover around the display.

Your Blurex case; when you open the cover, does it fold back flat against the bottom? Mine didn't, it stayed open at about a 20 degree angle. I didn't know if it was a design problem or isolated issue, so I sent it back and tried the Vipertek. The Vipertek doesn't have a problem folding back flat.
no, same here, 10 Degree tilt.
But I give it some time, i am sure it will come down
Is the vipertek of the same quality? So, this might be the better choice.

I am using this one since I got the GTab, got it at Best Buy. So far so good, but I had to do two little mods to make it perfect for my needs: I cut it to make it a bit more open in the area where the VOL buttons go since the black "leather" opening bothered when trying to press the VOL buttons. I also included some tape on the sides inside to make a tighter fit for the tab (when the tab slipped from the right side a bit, that tape helped).

I second the blurex case (or whatever name it goes under, I happen to have gotten one that is not branded.) The case is verstile and seems to be holding up.
this case looks a lot like the pyroskins case that I have for my galaxy tab 10.1.
I can only assume that from the pics i see on amazon but everything about it looks the same. pyroskins is a very good case for daily activities.
Do you use/know this type of case?

Yeah, I bought 2 of these. And you know what? they are surprisingly good.
The white moulded plastic that surrounds the back of tab is really cheap, and never matches the outer colour of cover (unless you get white). But protection is on all corners, and the flap is slim and well made.
If they could do something better than 'just' gluing the cover/flap to the back of the white plastic, they could charge double or triple and I'd be all over it.
Worth the money. And both angles are useable and easy to achieve.
I bought this one too and it works well for me.
The blurex case was way to thick for me. That and it not folding back completely were my two main problems with it and why I didn't use it
I use an orange knock off smart cover now, it is much better for me than the blurex.
I am looking to buy a case for my TF700 so I have some protection when I travel a bit. I've searched the forum and didn't come up with much. Does anyone have a case they like or a link to one that they use? What in your opinion is the best one?

After trying several cases(I'm kind of picky lol) I found one that I really liked, it's called the "rooCASE Multi-Angle Vegan Leather Folio Case". Its thin, light, and closes with a magnetic flap and it keeps the tablet pretty secure. It also makes the tablet feel real comfortable in my hands. I got it after returning a case called "the Targus Truss"(probably the worst case I ever owned).

I bought this case for my Prime and loved it!! Love it even more now since it also fits my Infinity perfectly!!!! I bought it at Best Buy when I bought my Prime back in January/February and it still look perfect and fits perfect. It hasn't loosened any in the fitment department and none of the stitching or seems have came loose or frayed at all. I highly recommend this case!! My girlfriend now has my Prime. After looking for her a case to use she has decided to also buy one of these. Nothing online We have looked at seems nearly as nice in terms of appearance and fitment. This truly is an awesome case and will last over time without damaging in any way whatsoever!!! It isn't cheap, but it is made extremely well with extremely nice materials!!!

If you don't mind my asking, how much does it weigh? I thought of getting one, just a little concerned about adding too much weight to an already light tablet.

I don't have access to a set of digital scales but it would be comparable to other PU/leather cases on the market for the TF700.
I'll let you know if I can get an accurate weight of the case.
I just purchased a rooCASE Executive portfolio genuine leather case from a vendor on eBay for $39.95 & free shipping.
This is an excellent case, very well padded and high quality leather and construction. :good:
It weighs 1.6 lbs and the unit is top-notch with quality stitching and a soft velvet-like lining with a built-in tilt stand.
Does anyone have or know of a good case that is compatible with the dock and the tablet?
Thanks

Not sure what exactly you are looking for ... I got one which I would rather call a bag than a case, but serves my purpose perfectly. The link goes to the German Amazon site, but I guess you should be able to figure out enough detail to be able to look it up.
You should take a look in the case thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1734083
I reccommend the Caseen PERFECTO. I've had mine since Christmas, and it's just awesome.
Thanks FireBrazer =)!
caseen thinks your awesome too!
The Caseen case is pretty nice. It doesn't have a lot of the issues I've had with other cases. (Misaligned holes for ports/mics/cameras, etc). Those would be my recommendation as well.

I too would highly recommend the caseen cases. I got the red/black caseen duo perfecto and love it. Thinking about splurging and getting the leather one now as well...
SOMEONE TALK ME OUT OF IT PLEASE! wife's not gonna be happy.
I also have a Bobj Case. Love that one as well but for different reasons. Nowhere near as pretty (sorry bobj but it's true) and you have to pull the bottom edge back to attach the keyboard, but the rounded edges make holding onto the tablet in landscape mode way easier as your thumb actually has something to grip onto. Also it doesn't need a handstrap because it's sort of 'sticky'. But i do have to take it off and wash it every couple of days.

I have this case and I think it is very good you won't be disappointed.
I've got the poetic as well and it's pretty decent. One of the camera jokes was slightly off but just need to nudge the case a little girl the front camera. All the other ports line up. The ability to snap the keyboard part off and on is nice. Th e cover for just the tablet is a little bit at that point but still works nice.

Had mine for about a month now. Works awesome and the the flap cover has softened enough so that it'll sit flush if you just have the tablet only. Good cover for the money. The SD card slots are so tight there's no way your cards will fall out. Hard enough getting them out when you want it. The stylus loop could be a little more off center though. You have to have a short one or the pen will stick over when it slides to the clip.

I have to say I have the Poetic and my only complaints are it really adds a TON of bulk, and it seems to also put some extra strain on the hinge, which for those that have a history with the ASUS tabs brings back bad memories of the old 201.
Looks good though.
Discovered one problem with Poetic 2 in 1-case, when you first keep tablet and keyboard/dock in this case, case stretch a little and
after that when using case with tablet only, it doesn't close properly. Maybe after using it for a while with tablet only it'll revert back.
igadgitz Black 'Guardian' PU Leather Case
I got the Igadgitz "Guardian" case for mine. amazondotcom/gp/product/B00940KAA2
It worked great for a while. I could detatch my dock and still have a stand for my tablet without having to remove it from the case. The only problem was that after a while, the leather started cracking really bad. :crying: I ended up just replacing it with a sleeve cas that has many pockets.

it does not look like it has the cut out for the pogo pins ,so that would be useless
I have the dock (was in the box in Japan) and have been looking around for a case compatible with it.
The truth is that even 0.35mm thick cases are not compatible.
I am of course talking about cases that covers the sides and back of the phone.
Cases of this thickness have been tested and reported as non-compatible by Japanese users. They still require to push very hard on the phone to fit into the dock and it is hard to take it out after that.
I've also got a brodit car holder that uses the pogo pins.
So for me its even worse, not only does the case have to fit with the dock, but also the car holder.
And all these superthin cases are not cheap, don't want to drop 30 bucks USD on an experiment.

I just came across a dock on Ebay UK that has a removable section to allow the extra width needed for case's.

Dock arrived this morning, and looks pretty impressive.
Dimesionally, it is exactly the same as the DK26 dock from Sony, the removable sleeve (to allow extra thickness for cases) is approx 1mm+ thick and very nicely
built into the unit - and easy to remove.
The charging pins are more than long enough to cope with a case as they are spring loaded.
Also, this dock also allows for charging from my laptop (DK26 does not work from a USB) which is handy.
TBH for the price difference - 6.99 compared with 25.00 for the DK26, and the abilty to charge from pc, and use with a case ......its a no brainer really.
Only critisism i can make really, is the springy prongs (Not the charger ones) that hold the phone are a little stiff, which may case problems with gel cases etc. that will try to drag rather than push. Although these will probably free up more with use.
overall, for seven quid, you cant go wrong.
I also own the DK26 and thouroughly wish id of seen this first.
EDIT:
Just took it apart and pulled out the springs, now its smooth as. A highly recommended mod.
Phone now just drops into place nicely, regardless of case.

The bumper cases still wont fit, it has to be a thin profile case.
Removing the insert only gives you just over 1.5mm of clearance, so cases still need to be thin as can be. But there are quite a few out there with the slot for dock pins.

the mfg website says june 7th, so I am hoping the amazon supplier gets it sooner than the 28th; for the 60% savings,its worth waiting!!

I've pre-ordered from then before. It's a bit like of a hit and miss. Last time they missed their arrival date by two weeks because their shipments of their stock didn't come in on time, but they're very friendly and responsive. They updated me with the next expected date as soon as it was available.

Wow, that looks like it provides great coverage! I guess you have to store the S-Pen separately though (doesn't seem like there is a slot for it)? I also wonder what it will feel like to write on it, regarding both the "touch-sensitive, water-resistant screen-guard" (and how that will feel with the S-Pen) and also with the raised case edges.

people who have gotten this case for other devices suggested that you pop out the screen guard, and use your own, so I have a new Spigen on mine, so I dont want the one that is on the case; plus, I am sure there is a slot for the spen; that would be a major problem if there isnt one...raised case edges are a good thing for putting the tablet face down...

I think it's a fall where you pull it out. It looks like all the ports have it and I think it's to protect openings from dust.

Wow.. this changes the Galaxy Note 8 into completely something else
Very nice. I much prefer non-portfolio style cases due to their immediate accessibility. But I also prefer one with a built-in stand for video viewing and this one seems to be the first one like that for the note that I've come across (and a more premium model at that.) Based on the reviews for other tablets this seems a good possibility. Added to my wishlist and I'll be eagerly checking this forum/thread for a review once it's available.
Otterbox has already said they have no plans for a Note 8.0 case unfortunately. Odd since the Note 8.0 seems to be selling very well (at least according to my local Best Buys) and people who would pay $400 for a premium tablet would seem the most likely to not balk a premium case. I know I wouldn't. Oh well....

This case looks just like what I was after. I got a cheap folio case to start with while I waited to find my ideal case. I like the rased bevel. wanted one like that to help prevent me clicking the capacitive buttons by mistake in landscape mode. The raised home button will also prevent me accidentally pushing that as well. Happens sometimes when playing multiplayer fps games.
I've still not decide if I'll get a screen guard or not. Dont intend on using the one provided though.
Look forward to your feedback. Not available until June 30th in the UK.

I had the same thought too when I first saw the case. I was happy to find out there is no need to store the stylus on the side - there is a slot for it in the case! As for writing on the screen protector, I haven't noticed any difference from writing on the Note 8.0 screen with the stylus. I posted a pic in another response if you're curious to see.

well, got this case yesterday, and I have to say its everything I had hoped for and more; sort of like an otterbox, with a built in stand, which works in portrait and landscape.
HD rubber around the screen edges, fully protect port openings, and even the camera has a flip off protector, which,even has a little "slot" that holds it back when you want to use the camera; very nice high end touches like that, and a very solid feel to it as well.
You insert it inside a plastic bottom frame, then snap the top cover over it, which has a very nice clear protector built into it, which, when used in conjunction with my current Spigen Ultra Clear, provides a fantastic surface to easily use my spen/holder on, giving you the identical feel as if you were writing on a legal pad, with a pen...very nice!
You then wrap the rubber cover around the frame, and after a few minutes of adjusting, you have basically a giant "otterbox" like protected tablet!!
Its probably not for eveyone, but I love holding the tablet in my hand, like a giant G-Note 2, and writing on it and using it now is so much nicer...I think it would easily survive a major fall, but dont ask me to try that!!
Definately more useful, and much better protection than any of these folio/notebook fabric covered cardboard cases that are all over the place..its just a little bulky for those with small hands...
Amazon price was 60% off the price from Poetic, so I would suggest you get if from Amazon if you are interested..

I was wondering if anyone could give the exact size of the case in inches. I am considering a swap to the note 8 from my nexus 7. Size is a concern because I keep it in my flight suit pocket. The Note 8 without a case is the same size in H and W as my nexus 7 with an otterbox installed. I was wondering how much extra size the poetic case adds. Thanks for the help!

fantastic video; shows every aspect of this premium case very clearly
thanks for posting this!:good:
Looking at the pictures and video is there any chance of the kick stand brace scratching the back of the note when it's folded? It appears to me metal. I'm close to ordering but I'm also nervous about the addition weight and thickness, how bad is it?
