Anyone know where I can get a case like the one attached, for the TF300? I found it on Amazon but it is not currently in stock.
Get the one for the prime and punch out two holes. One for the mic and one for the ear phones.
I have exactly that and love it

I got this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007HKIU08/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
It was $12.99 when I bought it. I haven't received it yet so I can't tell you if its good or not. I only payed like $3 for it since I had $10 gift cards on amazon. So, hopefully it is worth that

Do you think it would be possible to post some pictures of what it looks like on your tablet?
this case has the headphone hole in the wrong location so you have to make your own whole. i have this one and had to cut it to create a hole for the headphones. other than that its a solid case. i just got it yesterday.

Quick Review: I really like this case. I have both this one and the Caseen Green Plaid case. I like them both. I prefer this one for work at a desk and static viewing. The caseen case is very superior for use on the move and the hand strap is priceless for working while moving and holding it. Both cases are well made without strong odor and were originally designed for the TF201 (Caseen's has been modified for the TF300 by Caseen)
The TF300 fits very well into the case without having to be forced and the velcro holds it very securely.

There is a microphone under this leather
You can see the hole punched in the Caseen case for the mic here:
This is where the headphone jack is:
See the hole in the caseen case:
Here is the camera on the right and the light sensor on the left. As you can see the light sensor is slightly obfuscated, this is not an issue for me since I don't use it.
Here are the speaker cut out (very slightly off) and the camera cutout (with the cut out for nonexistent flash)

Wonderful! Thanks for the images. Sounds like I might just actually be getting one of these after all.

can the tf201 sleeve work on the tf300t?
I just ordered this case, its not in stock until tomorrow.Its cheap and should be a good starter case. I'm not expecting much, but it would be a good backup.
http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Slimbo...e+for+the+ASUS+Transformer+Pad+Infinity+TF700
I also ordered this case from poetic directly. Hopefully itll be decent. Anyone know of a case of this fashion thats a little further up the quality totem pole?
I will try this one out as well.
Well that was fast! Just got mine in. Of course, as luck would have it, I left my Infinity at home today and can't try it out yet. It seems like a nice case though. There's a magnetic clasp and the hand strap is there. My only concern is whether it will be too top heavy when used as a stand. By itself, it just falls over, but I'm hoping the weight of the tablet will fix that.

Woah you already got yours! I get mine on monday. I'm glad to hear that its not too bad and I'm happy to hear about the hand strap, I didn't even notice that.
Got my case, the I am pleasantly surprised for the price. I I can definitely tell the hand strap Will get loose over time. It does look nice, but but has that pleather smell.

I got mine too. Pretty good for the price. Fits nicely and the mag clasp is a surprise.
Is it possible to dock with the case on?
This is an awful case. Have it...

It is for the TF201 but fits the TF700 fine (most of the cases you see advertised for the TF700 are the same as the TF201). The TF700 is just a tad taller so clasp is just a bit tight but other than that it's a perfect fit, none of the ports are covered and the camera is exposed.

I have that case as well. Bought it for my TF201 and it fits the TF700 perfectly. Great quality and everything. Wouldn't want another one
this looks like a good hold me over case until a gumdrop or griffin case gets developed.
My only problem with the case, after a few weeks of use, and is that the securing flap is a bit loose so the pad slides down a bit. I anyone else notice it? I plan on buying some low profile velcro to fix it.

my slimbook arrived today and i actually like it. it is definitely slim. my cheap stylus needs to be upgraded, as the tip came off when trying to push it through the holder (not a biggie though). i think this will do well to hold me until the Gumdrop case is available.

I started having the same problem after about the same time. Today i went and bought some " stick-on hook & loop fastener" for $1.30~ at Wal-Mart. It works perfectly and has renewed this case. I actually really like it now as it makes the case really snug and feel secure.
TIP:
1) press the two strips together ( so they are even), then cut it to about 3 to 4 inches ( eyeball the length)
2) remove the adhesive film from one side only and stick pieces on the leather part first, make sure your tablet is seated firmly in the case (press the strips on until the fill secure). then push the flap with strips in until is snug. after that hold in place while you remove the second adhesive fillm, and close it.
3) let it sit closed a few minutes and you're done.

Here are some pics of my case after the transformation. i really think companies that make this style of case should start using hook & loop fastener strips like this from the start. it's cheap and shouldn't add much at all to the cost of the product.

WARNING! does not protect against drops! I just dropped my tablet as I was closing my car door. The tablet dropped from my hands about 3 feet or less, screen is shattered! it landed on a corner and that was it. I'm contacting Asus now about replacement/repair. Definitely don't have this case in mind for drop protection...but for looks and design it's fine.
I just received a transleeve cover (the origami one) for the tf201 and it works on my tf700 with no issues.
Fyi, in case that's the kind of cover you'd like for your tablet. I also have a keyboard dock, so I think I'm set on covers

What about buttons layout?
It's only a cover. So it doesn't cover any buttons. Have the same one myself, and it fits perfectly.

Not sure if it's the same case as with Prime but there were a lot of complains that this transleeve causes scratches.
Im curious how well the cover fits. I also have one from my prime and although it appears to fit initially, it doesn't actually lock in and it falls of rather easily. When I look at it from the bottom, I can see the hooks on the cover don't fully catch in the dock slots. Also, the usb cable connector opening isn't centered as it should be in the covers cut out. It's as if the dock connector slots are slightly deeper than they were with the primes. I am curious if this is just my device or in general.

I ordered mine from best buy recently, and I wanted to get this cover, I wonder if it would be worth getting a screen protector as well to help protect against scratches? I just hate screen protectors...never had a good one on any phone.

I had the same problem. Sleeve worked great on my Prime. When the camera module failed and the Prime was replace with the Infinity, I found the cover would not latch securely. Almost dropped the tablet the first time.
Tried several times to attach, but it just slips out of the connector slots

The slots on the TF700 have been redesigned. I'm not sure what the correct term for the bit of the slot that the latching mechanism clicks into, but I'll call it a shelf. On the TF201, the 'shelf' was part of the case, which meant that when attaching it to the dock, or in this case, the cover, the action of attaching would caus abrasion of the outward facing part of the 'shelf'. On the TF700, the 'shelf' is recessed, and made from what seems to be steel, so, although it will also get abraded, the marks will be fewer and less visible.
The recessing of the shelf means that the the 'neck' of the latches being pushed in needs to be slightly longer so that it latches in behind the shelf properly. In the case of the cover, it is not. This could be rectified by grinding off a portion of the latching, to extend the neck a little. A mm or so should be enough. I plan on doing this when I get some time.
I hope this explains it, despite my lack of knowledge of the correct terms for all the bits involved.

UPDATE:
The posts on the transleeve are millimeters from allowing proper attachment. On hinge of the transleeve are some rubbger spacers to hold the hinge away from the tablet. I removed those spacers and that provided just enough additional space for the hinge to latch into place. Hope that helps.
Please post a picture of your mods to help everyone understand what you've done...
There were already other threads on this, so no news here. I've been using it for two months now, but sporadically, it's ok, but I don't love it, the dock or neoprene sleeve is a better cover. Plus it leaves "stains".

?? I have 3 transleeves and all 3 of them fit the TF700 perfectly, no modding required. Sounds like you got unlucky.
My prime's origami case also doesn't fit well on my infinity. I mean it fits, but it is in no way secure. It doesn't latch at all and falls off with the slightest tug. Isn't there an official origami case for the infinity?

how many time did you use it ? i want to buy one, but.....i think it bad quality
I've had mine on my Prime and now Infinity for 6 months and not a mark on it.
Like I said before it's the best case for viewing the pad on my lap. Nothing else has come close.

Amazon UK and Asus shop both list them in Stock.
I have been using this stand for about 1 month and it's great! The base is made out of solid metal so your phone/tablet won't tip over and fall. Also the top is a ball head where you can swivel the holder any way you want and you have a sticky pad where you can place your phone/tablet. When the pad isn't sticky anymore you can just wash it under running water with your finger and it will be sticky like the day you first got it! :fingers-crossed:

To be quite honest, I just bought my note 8 used on ebay and got it literally yesterday. However, I have been reading a lot of reviews. I haven't heard of the battery being affected by them (apple uses similar covers with magnets), but I have heard of the magnets messing with the wacom tech the s-pen uses.

I have been using similar cover(white) since june.
only thing I did was take out the magnets from behind so that they don't interfere with s-pen.
The magnets are just not powerful enough to cause issues with battery(Li-ion/poly) if that all is your primary concern.
In Case if you want to take the magnets out,
just take tablet out, then use a small coin and put it on the tablet and coin should pretty much stick to where the magnets are. once you have nailed the location (small disc magnets), just use a cutter blade to slice the back paper/fabric s bit and you should be able to take out those discs.
put the tablet back in and should be good to go.
Do note that the side flap will stop working once you take magnets out.
thnks for rply

Here what I have done with flip case
I had my Note 8 in a magnetic case for six months with no problems of any kind. I checked it periodically to be safe, and even with a broken screen, the S-pen still works perfectly.
I think it depends on the case design and maybe how strong the magnet is. I tried a case I bought on Amazon that had the flap or buckle type design and it immediately caused problems writing on the screen. I scribbled the pen back and forth.
I'll try to attach a photo of it where you can clearly see the magnet distortion it left on the screen where the pen could not write. It went away after I removed the case.
I scribbled on the left side also because a magnet was there also that turned the tablet on and off, but that magnet caused no problem.

That app in the screenshot is the free app called Write, that was mentioned by some others in another thread. I like it. There are a couple others I like also, such as Papyrus or Lecture Notes, but I don't know a whole lot about them.

just got my Note 8 last week.
got a case from amazon... Poetic flip case.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BQ2Y71E/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
it has a on/off feature.
it uses a clasp to hold closed... not magnet.
I have heard a little about the magnet and issues with some digitizers.
it don't seem to affect it. how else can I tell when it causes problems?
will it be permanent?
how many magnets are on the case?
I thought there was only 1.. to do the on/off feature
I've been using this case for a year .. MOKO Slim Cover, without a single problem :

I'm guessing it's safe to use cases with magnetic covers as the majority of the probably use very low power magnets, which won't cause any interferance with your device.
Hi all,
Been using the official Flip Case with my Note 8.0 LTE and no battery issues at all.
I did notice that if the front cover is misaligned by even 1/2 a centimeter, it does activate the device, so make sure when you close it its not askew, even slightly.
