sick of crappy cases - Asus Transformer TF700

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...

Here is a review from CypressIce in another thread. It is very thorough:

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.

I had bought mine from the same listing. I haven't had any problems with it whatsoever and am very happy with my purchase.
EDIT: Forgot to say that you won't be able to use the dock with this case.

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.

I'll have my Nexus tomorrow. Just wondering, is the teflon coating on this thing pretty solid, or is it a good idea to get a protective case for it? I'm VERY careful with my phones. I never used a case with my MyTouch3G or my G1, and they stayed in great shape with only a few very minor scratches here and there. But if anything happened to my Nexus, I'm sure I'd be pretty pissed at myself. So... input? Thanks?

I didn't use a case for about a month, only used the sleeve. Dropped it on my mat on my rug for my computer chair several times. No marks at all. I bought a Ghost Armor body kit just in-case.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpGAW6L5x8U
the coating seems pretty tough to me,
personally i use the sleeve it came with during pocket transportation
and from what i heard the screen can be easily scratched by aluminum, so i would avoid any situation that would cause that to rub your screen

I use the crystal gel case, its very thin an unobtrusive. I'd say go with a case and even a screen shield; better safe than sorry. Besides, when Windows Phone 7 or something else from Google comes out, you want to keep that resale value up!

Trust me... you'll be just fine with the included neoprene sleeve. What's the point of having such a svelte phone if you encumber it with a case?

If you drop it on concrete then it will scratch the case. You don't have to have a gigantic case. Just something to cover the actual phone.
I have a BSE and it's amazing.
It is made of a silicone type material that gives it a little rubbery feel [not a lot at all, just a little bit].
It makes it less vulnerable to scratches and damage to the actual phone.
It gives the phone a small bit of grip so it's not so easily dropped.
It gives it a glossy look.
It covers every inch of the phone including the screen.
It's crystal clear and doesn't get as many smudges as the normal screen.
Here's a great review on it
The only problems I had was at first it looks a little hazy but the skin just has to sit for a little while then it will look great.
And applying the skin is very tedious and takes about 30 minutes to do it right. If you do it wrong it will have bubbles and wont sit right.
Here's some pics of mine

I say get a skin as I find the phone to be too slippery without one. I have gotten used to it but I don't trust other people to use it without a skin.

@dumbestcrayon
nice skin, makes the phone look oh so sexxyy..
p.s. Glassjaw is AMAZINGG

I dropped my n1 on concrete and the scratch was enough to make me consider selling it! [I know, issues...] So now I use the stock case but get sick of taking it out all the time, its fine in the pocket without protection

Oh yeah I love it. One of the only physical flaws, IMO, was that the body isn't glossy. Now its better.
Glassjaw is pretty good. Haven't heard them in a long while. They came up on last.fm.

I would say no, but that is a pretty tasteful case posted in the forum. If you are on the fence, I say go for it. the phone is very durable, but it was a bit slick in the hands at first.

I'm all for the bse. Wish I put one on my g1

I use the Seidio belt clip case mostly for transport protection. But it's easy to remove the Nexus for use anytime as is!

I have a belt clip also. I just like the BSE because it has no flaws. It makes the phone glossy, a little grip, protects it from any scratches because it covers 99.9% of the phone [where the .1% is the tiny lines between where the pieces of the skin comes together XD]
And, it was $8. So it's 100% win for me.

Yeah, I had it for my MyTouch. When I ordered my N1 I expected to have to throw it out. It's a good quality clip that I got from some website. I forgot where. My cousin got his N1 before me so I tried his and it fit perfect. I was pretty happy about it. IT was a little bit tight at first but it stretched out a bit. It has an open spot right where the headphone jack is too. But as of today I got my Rockfish BT headset so I wont need that anymore
This headset is amazing...A2DP is great.

dumbestcrayon, have you had any experience with the Invisible Shield?
I currently have the Invisible Shield on my phone without any complaints, just wondering if you had a comparison.
Price-wise, mine was more expensive at what, 25 bucks i think, but albeit with free lifetime replacement. Dunno about performance though...

Haven't tried it but I can say that I probably wont either lol. $25 is ridiculous. the specs seem to be the same thing actually.

i use the Seidio innocase 2. Its awesome except the fact that it cuts up your screen protector when you slide it on. But the phone outside is fully protected.

Thanks for the great pics!
I can't make out however, if the full body skin also covers the edge (open slit) of the screen to prevent any dust/lint from getting inside it and further into the screen.
Can you confirm please?

Just been released on Incipio's website today
I've just ordered mine which should get here some time late next week (shipped to the uk)

i like the barely there by case-mate better.

Could you post pics of it after you get it? Its always so hard to tell what the color is going to look like from the ad photos - the case mate barely-there case's black color just looks too contrasting from the gunmetal. I'm hoping this will match a bit better.

will it still fit the google dock ????

I doubt it (i dont have one though) as the docks are designed to fit snuggly with the phone, so i suspect the only thing that will fit with the dock will be those shield type cases e.g. Zagg Invisishield.

thanks was waiting for this one and pulled the trigger since it's currently on sale

Good timing isn't it with the mothers day sale on
The only down side is with this one they don't have any screen protectors like they do with the 3GS version
So i just need to decide on one of those

got mine today
looks pretty good gotta say and adds little bulk
i had a gelli case on it before that i liked, but it was difficult to take on and off to put in my car dock.
i'll post pics later for any interested ppl

Please do!
Also.. what kind of feel does it have? Is it a soft-touch finish

yea lets see pics!

x3 on the pix!

Mine arrived yesterday which i wasn't expecting
Overall I'm happy with it, I don't think I would have paid the full $19.99 for it as its a bit flimsy looking. I was expecting the case to be more like the iphone 3gs version which has a rubbery feel to it.
It's easy to pop in and out of the case.
The gap for the volume controls could be thinner.
I don't have any of the google docks but I would probably bet you'd have to take the phone out the case.
Some of the guys at work that have N1's have the Zagg Invisishield so if you are feeling anal the incipio will fit over that
I'll get some piccies today

pix
like bewa mentioned it's not the same rubbery feel to it like the iphone case, which what i was hoping but this is good to imo since often times those cases with the rubbery feel end up peeling at some point. this case is pretty thin, thin enough where if it were made of the same material it wouldn't feel any different than stock.
It's a good light weight unobtrusive case for everyday use, I figure I can slap on the gelli case for the occasional drunken night out.
sorry for the crappy pics

cheers dude
Updated the first post with a link to your post

I'm sure you can find something like this on ebay soon. In Hong Kong you get the same case for $2.00, quality is good too.

thx for the pics. I wish someone would maek this style of case without the obnoxiously huge logo on the back.

i've been waiting for the feather for a long time now cause i thought it was going to be like the iphone's feather, but it doesnt seem to be.
any chance of getting a picture of the inside? is the inside of the case rubbery like the iphone or shiny?
i also dont like how it doesnt cover the corners fully. if you drop it, it'll probably take a toll on your corners.. maybe i should try the barely there
anyway,
thanks a lot for the pictures, definitely helping out my decision

its the same on the inside as it is on the outside i'm afraid :S
I was hoping even that would have some sort of grip on it but no it doesn't!
I just can't understand why they've gone for this approach on the feather for the N1 rather than the same as on the iphone versions! personally that would have been better in my view!
I held out on a case for this one based on the experience i had with the 3gs and i think after a week of usage (or less) i'm pretty dissapointed
I'll keep the case on and search for something similar to the 3GS version and look for a screen protector that doesn't reduce touch screen responsiveness...

case looks alright but I feel it's lacking a decent amount of coverage. Think I'll stick with my Seidio Innocase II

I, like many others i`m sure, is looking for a good quality shell for a Omnia 7. Can`t find anything as yet.
If you do see a good shell, please post a link here.
Thank you!!

I bought this one from eBay which has arrived today:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SAMSUNG-I8700..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item43a3706915
It's ok, thought I would recommend getting the black one rather than the smoked one I have. The only issue I have is that the sleep, camera and volume buttons are a bit difficult to press with the case one. I think it may soften or loosen up with a bit of use so I'll keep it on for now and see how it goes.
DC

Yup they soften up
i was the same. But few days now and they are nice and easy to press.
I did give them a bit of a warming up by clicking them a fair few times, but does work to loosen the silicone up.
I got the black one as you can see by this post/pics

I'm struggling with screen protectors though. I ordered some cheapy ones from a German seller but, with the greatest of respect, they're utter dogsh1t. Far too thin, scratched by a piece of card I was using to push bubbles out.
I really want to find a nice anti-glare protector if I can, otherwise I'll be going the Martin Fields route.

Sounds like you got the same ones as me, That's my 4th film heh... I know why they put 6 in there now but for £4........ or a scratched phone ?
Ether way mine is more protected than my other parts of me have ever been
btw i found it's less pressure with the card, and more laying it down and just ever so slowly backing it up and using the card to make sure the bubble you saw don't re-lay where it was.
I'm no expert but 1st go was a joke.... so many bubbles i laughed hard...
2nd better but no dice,
3rd was brilliant apart from a few bits, and my mind just made me take it off and start again
4th was perfect give or take 1 - 3 bubbles i can live with until i try again
You want to hear how my mate managed with an ipad XD

I am having trouble finding screen protectors as well. I think I ordered the same thing as you guys (bedifol ultraclear) from protectionfilms24 but when I went to their site, it seems it's pretty much their lowest range and looking at the reviews for the various cuts they offer for other phones, I am just wondering if it's worth not having a screen protector at all.
Please let me know if you have managed to found one that is good.
Cheers.

Low range - high range.... It was ALL that was out when i got the phone/wanted protection
It does what it says.
It protects the screen XD
0.05mm thick - Same as the "one" for £8 which i bought as with the £3 one to test all of them, Recently bought the martin fields and imo... it tints it for me.... i like the clear/glazed protectors which look like the glass it should be.
So 6 for £4 is win win

I got a screen protector from here http://www.devdef.com/products/for-samsung-omnia-7 (actually I got two), but I found that they're pretty good and by far the easiest to install of any screen protector I've ever used. To apply it, you need to moisten it (instructions are on the site), and then you can slide it over the surface of the phone, before it dries, until you get the perfect positioning. Bubbles are also easy to remove because of this - you just have to do it before it sets. The only drawback, really, is that it's pretty reflective. I don't notice very much in use, but it reflects bright lights quite a lot, so if you're looking for anti-reflective coating, I'd give this a miss. Also on a plus - it's pretty strong as you can see from the video on the site. Also, as the instructions say, it improves the longer it's on your device. Initially it looks a bit poor, but stick with it (no pun intended )

Yos, I'll look at those....remember to wish someone Happy Birthday today!!!!

I got mine few weeks already from amazon:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/GEL-CASE-SA...W8MW/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1292094897&sr=8-3
Very nice indeed. And I am using savvy screen protector, little rubbery in touch but not bad at all

Yeah, I used fairy liquid and water, and you only need a tiny amount of fairy liquid - it's concentrated, you know ;-), and you also only need very little of the solution on the screen protector. Also, as I mentioned it looks pants to start off with, and it takes a while to dry, but eventually it looks fine. If you like a shiny screen protector.

I bought both of them on eBay. Very fine !

As promised the pics of the CM barely there case.
edit: It also came with a free screen protector & a piece of cleaning cloth which I haven't used yet. Waiting for my current screen protector to be bit more scratched up (martin fields). Shouldn't take long.

That case looks really good just a pity I had to send my Omnia 7 away for repair!

What bothers me with these case is that I won't feel the cold metallic, sturdy cover finish in my hand anymore Is there any possibility to have a bumper instead?

Hey guys,
I don't usually post much as I mostly read the great things people post in this great community, but i had to make a review for this case for everyone. I have bought a case from this ebay user (dcmugen) since i got my mytouch. Then my Nexus, and now my G2. This case is awesome to me. Heres my review:
Feeling: These cases are made from some type of flexible material called Thermoplastic polyurethanes, or TPU. This plastic gives it a flexible feeling but solid. Hard to explain other than saying its a stiffer silicone case. Though it feels rubbery to the touch and the grip you get on it is great, It will slide in and out of your pocket without getting caught on fabric.
Fit: When I first looked at the case I made sure all the openings were there for the speaker, flash, light sensor, etc. Everything has a smooth opening and there is nothing that is left out. Took me less than 2 minutes to put the case together. Since the case is TPU, it doesn't seem to run any risk of scratching your phone once put on. Both sides of the case fit snug and once on, The phone is able to completely close without any space left open between keyboard/screen. When open, it leaved a little void but it is not noticeable.
Typing on it, takes a few times to get used to as the feel of the phone is a little different. The top row of keys are still accessible with no problems, but again take getting used to because of the touch of the new case.
The screen area is raised. This allows your phone to be dropped on the screen and not get hurt! The case also comes with a screen protector, though not like a Zagg screen, works quite well and I recommend it. The trackpad is easily accessable and is not hindered in any way.
The hardware buttons are covered and have a fully solid TPU button over them and are enclosed in the case. They still work perfectly and have had no issues with them.
Protection: Since I've had these cases before, I can vouch and say they protect quite well. I've dropped my phones on concrete, dirt, chairs, tables, etc, and they will not get scratched.
All in all, for the $5 I paid, I'm alot happier with this one, than the cheap hard plastic one i bought from Amazon that broke after a week of use. Highly recommend this.

I will post pictures of mine either later tonight or tomorrow morning.
Side note: the item is shipped from Hong Kong and takes a bit to get to you. Usually my cases get to where I am (New Orleans) within a full week. So be patient.
Pictures! Finally!

Pics or it din't happen
A link would help too!

It wouldn't let me post pictures because of a 8 forum post limitation. This is my 8th post. Don't like spam but i dont want to randomly post in stuff i don't have interest in! Pictures are coming up in a few minutes.

Dude that's an awesome case. I've been waiting for something like that. I have an otterbox but i like to mix it up a bit. Is it tight fitting?

How hard is the case to take on an off? Some of the oem ones felt like i was gonna break my phone taking them off I just want one to keep on it at work.

Patrick: it is a very snug case and does not slide around while on the phone. I can type and have no problems with it.
ionic7: the case takes less than 5 seconds to take off. Does not feel like it will scratch your phone either. Thats one of the main things that bother me with hard plastic shell cases.

TY for the reply I had already ordered one with the mirror screen protector before you posted

Dude, please resize the pics.

Where do you buy this case? Thanks!

I highly recommend their screen protectors too.
Their clear one is top notch.
Matte and other variations are expected to have a decrease in screen quality (as with any brand)

well i ordered one..and it came with a screen protector eventhough ive already got a couple. haha. right now im sitting with an otterbox back, with a front piece from a rubberized tmobile case. its nice.

Resized pictures. Sorry didn't notice they were huge as a brower extension i have automatically resized them to fit.
I know its late, but this is the one i ordered:

I just wish they would make a red one. I'd be all over it!

Looks like a great case, I have the otterbox and I like it but looking for something a little bit thinner. It adds a bit a bulk to the phone. Anyone used both and can give a comparison?

There are some other G2 TPU cases with an argyle pattern on the back. These come in a few more color options, including red. Just do a search for "G2 red tpu case" on ebay. I have a clear one myself. These cases are great!

I did a little review with some additional pics here if anyone's interested: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=885333

i got one and i love it

I am with you that I wish the otterbox had more grip to it. Looking forward to seeing your comparison.

At $39.99, I don't think it's worth it, but with 50% off sale going on now, I ordered one for $21 (tax included).

Nice! Thanks for sharing. Too bad the red one is sold out but it's all good. I was waiting for Best Buy to have it in stock since I have a discount certificate but this is even better!

Where is the leather one..?!

I am itching to buy one, but i have seen way more negative reviews than positives on the magic cover. Anyone want to convince me to pull the trigger?

Its a cover, not a case. It covers the screen, and folds into a stand. Thats all it was ever meant to really do. Protect the screen when its not in use. If you think of it like that instead of 'this doesn't protect my tablet at all!', it really does what its supposed to. The magnets could be stronger (they're strong enough in the kb case,) and it could be a better design like the iPad covers, but for $20? Sure, I'll bite.

its a pile of rubbish at 100% off....

is the keyboard case any better?

I just tryed to buy it but the minute I clicked Buy the price changed to normal. GRR!

please, HELP ME
Can any one help me activate my HTC HD7 T9292, Help me with activation code for my phone.t

At $20 I took the gamble. Worst case scenario I return it for a refund. It's already been shipped. So far so good.

Agreed. A piece of cardboard is a bit better than this overpriced piece of trash.

I just received mine today and I got to say, I am very impressed! Both the package and the cover itself feel very premium.
The cover itself is very thin and light and therefore adds minimal weight and bulk, which I like. Why buy a light and thin device to only make it heavy and bulky with some clunky case? With that said, this is a COVER, not a case.
The magnets are stronger than I expected. The cover stays connected to the device quite well. I didn't think I could do this but it's very easy to flip it from front to back like you would a smart cover.
It's very easy to fold it into a stand. I wasn't sure how to do it at first but it just happened. The magnets definitely helped getting the parts to fold as they should.
The camera app launched very quickly when the flap is folded down. I'm not sure how often I would use this feature as I rarely use the tablet's camera but it's definitely neat.
Had I bought this at full price, I probably wouldn't be as excited. However, at $20, I am VERY happy with it.

just received mine as well. Haven't ripped the seal yet. Video to come.

Got mine couple of days ago and thought I chime in on the product.
First, I'm very glad I paid only $20 for this cover and in all honesty, I think HTC should only charge $10-$15 for this thing. My break down as below.
Design: A-
The design focused on packing in the standard cover features (cover, stands, etc.) into one simple cover. I think the did well with the folding cutouts and magnets are pretty unique.
Applicability/Usuablity: C-
Although the design concept is great, but the actual experience is far from their conceptual design. I think mostly is due to the magnet not begin strong enough on both N9 and the cover. When used to cover the front of the tablet, the magnets is very weak that you can basically slide the cover off the alignment quite easily. This is quite annoying because you then now have to adjust to how you should flip a cover open, basically, it requires you to open the cover gently so that the cover stays aligned with the tablet.
Because the magnet is not strong enough, don't expect the cover to hold on to your tablet slip out of your hand.
Value: C- (for $20) and D-- (for $40)
For 50% off coupon, it's worth a shot but I'm still left unsatisfied because my $8 bumper case (without stand capability) looks and function more sturdier than this cover.
With a $40 price tag, I say F that.
Hope this helps.
