I've been using my 13inch case that i have from my XPS laptop. Doesn't fit it at all but gets the job done. hahah. I'm waiting for a better slip/protective case from a 3rd party manufacturer before i purchase one specifically for it.

I plan to use the little zip up case that came with my old EEEPC. Same dimensions, although the transformer will be slimmer inside even with the attached dock.

And it already says ?EEE? on the side of it.

For anyone looking for just a protective case for carrying, but not when in use, I would suggest widening their search to include cases made for netbooks.

Walmart has a 10.1 inch case from Swiss Army for 16 dollars.... i like it a lot. Has good padding, zips up and has extra pocket for plug.


I really want a rubberized case for the physical unit though; Would an IPAD/Xoom case fit it at all? I think it is kind of strange very few 3rd party manufacturers actually make anything for it.

I don?t find it all that strange. Tablets are coming out left and right. They can?t make a hord of accessories for all of them.

I wouldn?t be surprised to see few cases for the TF unless it gets very popular. It will be difficult to deal with the keyboard dock area.

I'm using the one that came with my MSI U-123 netbook. Although, I doubt it will fit with the dock, when I get that.

On second though, I doubt I will us a cover once I get the dock. Closing the unit will protect the screen. I'm sick of protectors and covers on my devices. I usually don't keep them past 2-3 years and I love the slimness of going naked!

The dock is no thicker than the tablet. Looking at it next to my old EEEPC makes the little netbook look positively chubby.

They should both fit in your old netbook case just fine.

That’s always been my opinion. The only time I pack my electronics into bags is when they get packed in the back of the mini-van (with everything else that isn’t bolted down in our house because my wife thinks we’ll need all of it for a weekend trip to her parent’s house…)

For daily use, I don’t see putting a device into an enclosure. A scratch or two is easily worth it to not have to deal with some cover. Like you, these gadgets outlive their technical usefulness long before they physically breakdown. Although I tend to be gentle on my electronics.

Another thing, I know these devices are quite low powered, but packing it into a silicone sleeve and then playing HD video/THD games in a warm setting is surely heating it up inside.

I use the official case from Asus and store it in the 10.1in Swiss Army sleeve mentioned above.

Folio case

Does anyone use a folio case that they use with the keyboard docked. My goal would be to use that but be able to also undock it and use the folio case with just the screen. Any recommendations?

Also, do you guys recommend a screen protector or is it fine because it's gorilla glass. I kinda want one that would reduce fingerprints. Thanks.

Got this at the local Staples, It's a Solo brand marketed for iPad/eReader.
Work well IMO. The power button is cover up and the volume up is somewhat covered
but you can still push it and it function just fine.

Same here. I saw the recommendation on an XDA thread and picked one up yesterday. Pretty nice but I do wish what looks like a pocket on the outside was actually a pocket. Would've also preferred to have the elastic straps at all corners.

Love the look of this case. Obviously a copy of the iPad one case from apple, but there is a reason for that - that case is bada$$. I am not vouching for it as I do not own it but i like the look of it - big problem...the price is nuts - $39.99- it really is true that these companies try and make their margin on the accessories. Other problem - out of stock - but that is temporary hopefully.

PS - can't imagine that you can leave this one and use the dock - but we can hope.

I originally wanted that one until I read the reviews :'(

I'm hoping M-Edge makes a case for the TF soon.

Yikes the reviews are rough and it doesn't work with the dock as I suspected. Pretty surenrjere will not be a case that will other than loose slip cases. The dock issue is a no biggie for me as I am no all that interested in the dock at this time, but the over al quality especially for the price is subpar. So I will keep looking.
