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.

Anyone has any experience about Poetic 2 in 1 Flexbook-case?
Or in reality I will have knowledge about it soon, because I've already ordered it from Amazon.uk.
Just thought that if someone would have something to say from it already.

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.

I'm liking this...especially with the fact I can detach the keyboard and still have a cover. Ordering now and will update my thoughts
UPDATE: I am really digging this case. The ability to separate the tablet from keyboard and still have protection....priceless. I have a small stylus so that fits in perfectly. Good job Cellmac!

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.

That would be crazy if UAG decided to make one for the tf700 !!!

Maybe... on one hand, its only slightly thicker, not enough to make a case not fit. On the other, the buttons and ports were all moved around, so that may mess with how things are aligned.
Wonder if OtterBox will make a case?

Well, it may fit if they just have an open side, but if they have holes it won't fit.
Maybe its worth sending the company of that case an email?

I'm hoping someone makes a hard, snap-on type case for the tablet and dock. I couldn't really find anything like that for the prime, and I hate the leather portfolio cases lol.
I'd hate to spam the Infinity threads, but someone here might be interested in my other post on the sleeves for Transformers in a similar thread:

Thanks for that link! They have 25% off for a couple of days. Got myself a stylus and a car charger.
I would like something similar to the Official Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 case... been using that for a year on my tab and its brilliant.
I'm probably going to be picking mine up at a retail store, so I'm hoping to find a nice slip case that will fit the tablet and dock.
I just got my TF700T and love it so far, but I'm worried about scratching it, so I was wondering if there was something like the CaseMate "Barely There" case for this Tablet?
Also the smart cover things that at Asus' own webshop, have anyone tried them? Are they worth buying?

I'm using the TranSleeve designed for the Prime (TF201), it fits well and is actually pretty cool. You have a few "standing" options (movies / typing) etc.
There is TranSleeve Dual coming, which is supposed to cover the Infinity with or without the dock, but it's hard to tell when it's going to be available in Europe.

I got the TranSleeve Dual while I thought I was getting the regular TranSleeve. The Dual one is pretty much useless without a dock.
Sure, you can prop the thing up similar to the regular sleeve, but it feels bulky, and since the tablet is only held in place in the sleeve by silicone stripes (or whatever they are) at the sides, it tends to just slide out of the sleeve. The actual propping up also feels bulky since it's supposed to fit the dock as well and wrap around both when you close them together. Suffice to say, I'm returning it since it's useless to me without the dock.
This is my leather case what i order last week http://www.noreve.com/langue/en/pro...Infinity_TF700T_Tradition_B_leather_case.html
It's just great and it fits perfect
Nice one! Nice price too.

That appears to be the same as Amazon's "Poetic-Transformer-Infinity-Keyboard-Portfolio" -- I'd post a link but I'm not allowed to since I haven't got ten posts yet (the logic behind that escapes me).
The poetic is cheaper at $14.95 and free shipping. I've ordered one but it won't get here until tomorrow. I also purchased on ebay:
360-Rotation-Leather-Case-Cover-for-ASUS-Transformer-Pad-Infinity-TF700T-10-1-/271011459951?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item3f198ab36f
Which closely resemble's Amazon's "MoKo-Detachable-Transformer-Horizontal---Lifetime," but I think the ebay one looks better and is cheaper as well. I haven't received it yet either -- it appears to be coming directly from China with free shipping but won't arrive for another week. I'll try and update this as soon as they arrive.
I have a case that is basically identical to that one that I got for my Prime. It is a nice case but it adds a lot of bulk to the tablet & keyboard combo. I just got a different case from Amazon that is much better: the "Poetic(TM) 2in1 Ultra Light Leather Case for Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime TF201 10.1-Inch Android Tablet"
This case adds much less bulk. The other case has a third flap on it that is really unnecessary.

Long thread with very little information about cases for tablet and keyboard together. So I think a thread that focuses on this specific combination has some merit.

The thing I'm looking for is to have both a tablet and keyboard case that can be together or separated. So sometimes I want to take both the tablet and keyboard and want something that works nicely. Other times I want to take just the tablet and don't want to bring the keyboard. So I want the case to shrink to be tablet only and allow me to attach or detach the keyboard.
The Poetic-Transformer-Infinity-Keyboard-Portfolio was a little cheaper and I figured for $15 how wrong can I go. Thanks I ordered it!
Anyone know of a real leather case for the combo besides the noreve? I'd like one with the pockets inside like the poetic cases.

I've this one since a few days and it's very great !!!
For the cost, very good quality. You can separate easely the keyboard and the the TF700.
Look is beautifull (like a filofax), very good prize !!!
For me it's a must have for TF700 user with dock.
Camera front and back, power, micro sd, sd are good.
One only a little thing is "bad", there are (en francais 2 élastiques) for to keep the keyboard in place (not very beautifull, this point give a look cheaper only for this part). The access for the usb port is a little hard and it's the same for the power supply (on the keyboard).
A last thing, when you open the case, the connect since the TF700 and the keyboard is sometimes lost ... You must to press a little the keyboard and it's okay.
For all the rest, it's very a good case
P.S. : sorry for my english ...:silly:

I bought that case, but I must say, the quality is pretty cheap. I'm not really sure what I should expect, but it does do it's job of protecting the tablet's exterior so I'll give it that much. The material used however, is fairly cheap/low quality to the touch.
I'm not okay at all with you ... It's a good value for money !
For this prize, it's not possible to have real leather.
There are other cases with best quality of material but very more expensive ...
I received the poetic case. Overall I like it. It feels good and splits easily so you can detach the keyboard and carry it as a portfolio.
Negatives are in portfolio mode the flap is loose since it has extra slack to close around the keyboard. I don't think this is a big issue. The one thing I really don't like is that it doesn't have any stand mode. So if you want to stand it up to watch a movie or just look at email you will need to prop it up with the flap but it isn't designed for this and isn't stable.
Overall I am not satisfied with this cover. I am still shopping.

Hi,
Same question for me: any feedback?
I have the impression that the video watching position is too inclined..
I've had the poetic case (looks the same) for over a week now. I'm still looking. the case looks nice. While it adds quite a lot of bulk, I am mostly using the tablet for work, and it looks pretty professional. Alot of people are concerned about the bindings for the cases, but they seem ok to me (except you have to take off the dock strap to charge). However, I have found that with the dock and tablet cases on I have some difficulty joining and disconnecting the dock and tablet. Sometimes I have to struggle so much I'm a bit worried about breaking it. It takes a fair bit of time (well a couple of minutes anyway), which does not suit me if I need to whip off the tablet quickly to show something to someone or change orientation of the tab if needs be.
I've now just taken the dock cover off because it gets covered by the tablet folio, and seems to dock a bit easier.
Am now looking for a tablet and dock cover that doesn't impede docking, and can cover the screen of the tablet ok without the dock in it. Not in a hurry though cause the Poetic is still pretty ok for the price.
Edit: Don't recommend this case. Very tight to dock the keboard and have scratched the edge of the tablet and ruined 1 screen protector getting it on. Need something with thin leather padding on the dock edge of the tablet.

Anyone have any ideas of what cases are available now-a-days for the touchpad? I have the original HP Custom Fit case but its deforming... I liked the case a lot too . I would like something slim and not bulky. Thanks

oh good it's not just me. I thought it was because I was putting it in my mini backpack and all the stress the mini backpack was putting on it.
Shame too because I really really love this case I hope more devices get cases like this. maybe the new ones add in some metal wire or something so it doesn't stretch.
mine is mainly warping along the power port, volume keys and microphone port.

I have had the same problem. Has anyone had any luck getting the case un-deformed? Maybe somehow getting it to shrink using heat or another process? I really like the skin case, and can live with it the way it is, but would prefer not to have large gaps by the power and volume, and a hump by the usb port...
Thanks.
Mine is deformed too...

Yeah as did mine. I treated it with care too. I don't think it matters how you treat it, the area around the power button is going to go wonky
the official custom hp case is the best one for the pad. though mine not only got deformed, it got REALLY smooth too, compared to my sisters new one
I finally got sick of the deformed case. But I wanted a slim case with flip cover, and all the ones I found bulked it up more than I cared for. So, I made my own out of two cases. I bought the Poetic TPU case off eBay for $6. Then I used a razor blade to remove the flip cover from my deformed OEM case. After failing with Gorilla glue, I found that good old super glue does an excellent job of bonding the cover material to TPU without deforming it. Looks a little rough, think I'll make another. Next time though, I'll bond the cover at top, making it easier to open or close on the touchstone charger.

I have done a little surgery to my original HP case. I cut off the parts that were warping. And actually, it worked out well. But after doing that, I bought a carbon fiber skin and a Touchstone charger and only use the case when I take it out of the house. It feels nice without a case.
The only case I've been able to get to play nice with my touchstone sadly is the stock hp touchpad case.

Poetic Revolution coming soon!

this looks like a great case; I placed my pre order today...Anyone have experience with this case?

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.

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.

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....
Link to the manufacturer page btw with higher-res pics:

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...

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.

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!

8 1/2 inches long, 5 3/4 wide, 5/8ths of an inch thick is the total size with this case on...the corners are diaganally cut, if that matters to you..

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?

New case on Amazon

Looks pretty sweet, just came across this case on Amazon

I ordered one and hopefully get it by Friday/Saturday. No prime shipping with this purchase unfort.
Would be interested to know if the case blocks the speaker on the phone or it routes the sound toward you. It looks like it could be routing the sound from the speak to the 2 holes at the bottom.

Please let us know how it is. It looks pretty decent, hope it's not that bulky. Thanks

It seem that parts of the case are metal(aluminum?) and I hope this case won't make cell reception even weaker than it already is.

Xela19115 also mentioned the case here a few days ago. Looks like a tank itself.

I may order when someone else serves as the test subject.
I'll stay tuned to see how other folks like it.
I ordered this case and immediately had horrible signal issues. I've e-mailed the seller asking if there's a solution. It's too bad to use as a phone, though wifi was not blocked at all. Normally I have strong LTE in my house but it's unusable with the case on.
Marvel should sue them for stealing Spiderman design (j/k). Only if this case had a belt clip, I'd bite. I want someone to make a case with a clip!

They already have some cases with holster and belt clip on Amazon.

to each their own... but gawd, that's ugly.
I bought it when it first went up, before their description made it clear it was steel, I was hoping for a thin metal slip. The case is heavy as hell, and the built in screen protector traps pocket lint between the screen protector and screen. The case is held on with 6 hex screws, which worked, but made it even heavier.
It did muffle sound a little, as to radio...I'm just switching to Ting with GSM from Sprint with my phone. I was worried for a bit that my phone was the issue, but a girl who has a galaxy phone has all the same signal issues I did on Sprint. I'll let you know of mine is better, and how GSM is impacted by the case later.

I should also mention, like the Tudia, it made my side access worse. I use Lucid launcher specifically for the left side slide out favorite apps, these were really hard to activate on both this case, and the Tudia. I also use a pie fromthe right side, this was similarly hard to trigger, but at least I could customize the trigger width to accommodate the massive bearth.
Here is another new case on Amazon.

The shortcut leads to the phone rather than a case.

That doesn't look like a quality case to me. The back looks like plastic. But there aren't a lot of cases compatible with the 360 Camera so if you want specifically to use that feature it's probably worth taking the chance since the case is so cheap. But if you don't care about the 360 Camera there are clearly way better choices.

I bought it.
It actually isn't cheap feeling.
Soft touch.
Pretty heavy.
Secures on the phone pretty well.
Looks like it will protect the phone in a drop.
It does add bulk.
The flip down for the camera is pretty cool.
The opening on the back for the camera is large since the case is so deep.
The fingerprint sensor hole is also large because they made it to clear the camera opening without leaving a small piece of TPU inside.
Overall I like it for the ~$10 I paid.
It is either this or naked.
I bought it as well.
Doesn't feel cheap to me.
Adds a decent amount of bulk to the phone but not too much.
The flip down feels pretty sturdy and hopefully it won't loosen over time.
It has a nice feel to it. Soft but not slick. Sort of rubberized.
I've been using the first Tudia case that came out for this phone for awhile now and it's fine most of the time. But when I do use the 360 lens it is a hassle. Having to peel the case off. Hopefully this fixes that problem.

I tried it yesterday and the flip down works fine.
It's a bit stiff to latch and unlatch, but it does solve the 360 camera issue.
No more case removal! It also means that those screen protectors that glue around the edges will bel see likely to lift.
I still haven't decided if I want to use LOCA to attach a screen protector to my phone.
