that is exactly what they do, they order from 1 manufacturer in a China plant, and once they get an order of 1000, they stamp their logos on to it.

if you look around chinese website, they have the same ones without logos

they're very cheaply made, and i believe they get them in 100's to 1000's for 5-6$ a piece at most

going to stay away from all of these till better U.S quality ones come out
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] quietas:
That's crazy. My wife has an iPad 2 with a Targus case that looks exactly like this. What is the build quality? Is it real leather or authentic pleather? =)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cotr:
The only difference is the charger port. I'd disagree about build quality but then again I have one in hand and you don't.

It's pleather. Sturdy and thin.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mrschmitz:
Can you do this with that Moko case? (from here: http://www.amazon.com/VIPERTEK-Transformer-Prime-TF201-Black/dp/B006OZTNIK)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cotr:
the flap on the screen side can go either way. so... yes. looks like the only difference is the Moko is gray on the inside.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mwbarb:
Which Poetic case did you get? I ordered this one yesterday from Amazon which looks similar to the MoKo case and seems to have the cut out for the charger port. If not, it's going back to Amazon and I'll order the MoKo version.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] V6993:
Is this case by any chance compatible with the keyboard dock?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cotr:
Nope.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Yori-:
its funny how you think these are amazing quality type cases & i do have one for a regular transformer

try to look for cases for the ipad 2... look at how many quality builds there are for the ipad. i personally don't have an ipad so dont think for a sec i'm a fan of apple.

also just because they have proper positions for charge port/speaker outputs does not mean this is a good quality. Did you expect them to make a case that blocked all the ports?

Every single poetic/vertek/vipertek are just made out of cheap pleather.

They are good for its price, and i'm stating the fact that, there will be better design/quality cases for the prime in the coming months
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] evilcuber:
Ugggg amazon dosent ship it to Canada :( any other website that sells this case?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] globalunderground247:
I was going to get this Moko folio case by I opted for the harmony case by Evio instead.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] keitht:
Any particular reason?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] FunkyMcBain:
Grrr can't ship it to Canada, I want this one so bad
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] csmall:
Link?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] smitty0255:
I'd like to know about the poetic case you ordered as well, smrsxn. I ordered the one that mwbarb linked and I'm going to be pissed if it doesn't have the cutout, because it definitely shows it in the pictures.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pyro6128:
Mine should be delivered today. This is very similar to the Clip case I had for my gtab, and I was very pleased with that. Also the benefit of a case like this is the way the bottom portion folds away from the tab, with the bottom of the tab exposed you can use the keyboard dock. Sure its not ideal, but so far these types of cases seem to be the closes you can get to keep a thin profile, have multiple viewing angles, and still be able to use the dock.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wethead4:
does the transformer slip when you stand the tablet up on the last notch? i had this case for the original transformer and had that problem
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mrjosh:
Just got my case today. This is a very nice case for the price and it is so slim. Thanks for the review.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] djkinetic:
Just got this case delivered today: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006BU4TQY/ref=oh_o01_s00_i00_details

Went with this one because the entire prime is covered and protected..there's a velcro strap that slides in underneath the prime to keep it in place... also the cover is held magnetically..the case doesnt add much bulk either...its like carrying a magazine with you..also all the ports, speaker, and camera holes are cut out...now if only my screen protectors would ship then i'd be set.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] halloumi3:
Mine wasn't supposed to come in until next week but I got a little surprise email today and it should be here tomorrow. I'm tired of my ghetto stands I've got going right now lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adampdx:
I cut the side out of a paper cup and made it into a stand. Actually works pretty well, but talk about ghetto! I ordered the Moko case and I'm excited about it. Looks so sleek. I have the Verteks case and it's pretty nice but very bulky.

DIY Phone stand.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] YOYO41:
i got the Moko case, and i dont like it, the reason, it fit to tight,and im afraid that the tablet will broke,maybe im to cautious,but ill be taking the tablet out often to use the dock , for now ill use the hp 10.2 neoprene,the tablet fit even when docket
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pyro6128:
Why do you need to take it out to use the dock? I found that you can fold the flap under the bottom of the dock when you're using it like a laptop. Nice and out of the way.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adampdx:
Sweet. I was wondering if that would work.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pyro6128:
Yup, the only thing though is that the clip on the flap doesnt totally clear the end of the dock, so the bottom of the dock sits on it. But honestly, the clip is small so its not even a problem. Tried it out on my desk, worked fine, didn't hamper typing at all, and it didn't throw the tab off balance. Works much better than what I thought i was going to have to do initially, which is have it hang off the back while being used with the dock.

Edit: I'll try to post some pics tomorrow so people can get an idea of how this case looks with the dock
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DuranC:
Thanks for this. :D I was wondering this too. I bought the Verteks version of this case from Amazon and should be receiving it in about a week.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] FunkyMcBain:
For anyone in Canada, I emailed them today about shipping to here and all of a sudden it's available to ship to Canada, for me anyway :) Free shipping too according to my order, we'll see how that goes haha
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] opentoe:
I got this one too. I do like the velcro that goes under the prime to secure it and it is as slim as it can get. The first viewing angle works great, but the second one isn't so good. I may try the other Moko one. There are like 3 different ones that Moko make...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hooshR:
Just received the MoKo Folio Case that the OP reviewed and i like it alot. adds a little bit of weight but what case doesnt? it feels extremely sturdy the clip keeps it closed and fastened. I was anxious about how well those tabs would keep it fastened but after putting it in, the TF201 does not feel like it is going anywhere. You have to pry off the bottom whenever you want to set it to stand but that should become a little easier over time. I gotta thank the OP b/c I ordered it after this post! I feel like it was a great buy for the price!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Houndx:
I ordered this one on Wednesday and it arrived today. Thank goodness, I was sure that I'd scratch the back before it arrived. It's very well built, feels nice and works wonderfully with the dock.

Just pop the bottom out, attach the dock and fold it underneath. Perfect.

The one change I could see making is adding some slack to the flap and a velco closure to enhance the dock functionality.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cotr:
Glad to have helped!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dB Zac:
I have one of these for my girls galaxy tab
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] smitty0255:
I got the Poetic version of the case in the OP - arrived yesterday. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006PWGESY/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details

It does have the cutout for the charger, so the Poetic one referenced earlier in the thread must be a different style.

I'm pretty impressed for $15.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jonboyuk:
I've just ordered one based on your review thanks! Have to wait 10-20 day now because we can't get them in the UK :( Just have to make sure I don't drop my prime over the next couple of weeks! :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] saber8689:
Quick question about the case:

Does it allow folding back all the way? In otherwords, can I fold the from cover back so the tablet can sit flat on a table or can it only be bent back a little bit.

( Getting the tablet from / to __ )
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cotr:
Yes. it folds all the way back. thats actually I how use it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] myculito:
How much did you guys pay for the Moko slim case? Did it go up in price from $15 to $20?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cotr:
When i bought it i was around $13. Allowed me to splurge on overnight shipping!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] walie:
anyone know how to get these cases outside the U.S.?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Popsiclestand:
This case is great! The quality of the material and the fit is amazing. I was really surprised as I was expecting the worst from such an inexpensive case. It's also pretty stylish with rounded corners and very slim unlike the roocase clone that I had for my original TF.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] FunkyMcBain:
Email them direct and ask for it
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] walie:
is that what you did?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] HoOnZ:
I also got this case because it was one of the first ones that was available on Amazon and I like it. Like everyone said the cutouts for the ports are on point. Nothing bad I can think of it's just too bad I don't use it that much because I now use a dock. :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eraursls1984:
On their site it says its available for the maxiPad. Have a link to where we can find it for the transformer prime?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] evilcuber:
Just checked this case and its not available to Canada anymore. Also talked to Amazon and it says its the sellers choice for shipping location. Any other way to get it?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Popsiclestand:
Another good thing I would like to note about this case is that, while not being a case that includes room for the dock, it works very well with the dock. There are no adjustments necessary to slide the tablet into the dock while keeping it in the case. You can't close it with the dock, but you can definitely use it at normal angles with the case on.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] myculito:
After trying both the blurex and the Moko, I'm happier with the Moko. Better fit right out of the box with no adjustment needed.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Colombiano80:
i read the first few pages but didn't find what i was looking for. maybe someone can answer this for me. based on what some of you have said, the bottom clips can be fairly difficult to snap the prime off so you can stand it up. given that, some of you are just not snapping it into the bottom clips.

if you do NOT snap it from the bottom of the tablet, can you still stand it up straight? i see a picture of being able to lift it at an angle but if i wanted it almost fully stood up, is there a way i could do that?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cotr:
The bottom snaps are not difficult to pop off. There are three notches for standing up with one thats almost 90 degrees, one thats 60ish, and one thats 45ish.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Colombiano80:
thanks for the heads up. some reviews and comments here claim otherwise but i guess we'll see. haven't ordered yet. been getting away with a skinomi and a neoprene case but i need a stand as i travel and need something for the plane.

what i would really like is something similar to my ipad1:

http://www.amazon.com/Original-Apple-CASE-ZML-MC361ZM-Packaging/dp/B003CGMQ38

tight fit, form fitting, simplistic, all the proper holes, and did the job as a flat stand and a tall stand.

the prime has a similar case, but far from form fitting as i would prefer.

UPDATE well that' funny...the exact case i'm looking for, they actually do have it for the original Asus Transformer TF101:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...TC-Froogle-_-Notebook+Cases-_-ASUS-_-34991481
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Tomlilley:
Yep, exactly want I want to. Essentially basic scratch protection and something to cover the screen when not in use.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Colombiano80:
FWIW, i emailed asus if they would release a similar case for the prime, since it was an Asus release.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] zeeker:
I got the Poetic two days ago, good protection for the buck.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
DAMN! this case so popular they raised the price now. $25.99 now w/free shipping.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cotr:
Good thing I was one of the first one in at $13.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] erikk:
Man it's now $27. I have a moral objection to paying twice what they were willing to charge for it just a month ago. Anyone have one they don't like, an extra they'd sell, know of an ebay auction for it or know of a same version with a different branding at a more reasonable price?

Just got my prime and really want a case for it like this but I know the price will drop right back to $13 once there are more prime cases on the market and I just can't stand to pay that much more for the same exact item. If they were making a profit and happy to sell it for $13 selling it for $27 is just insulting.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cotr:
Id say its worth the $27 still. Its not insulting. Its bringing it up to Market Value.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Pubnum:
So I really want to buy this case, however I'm concerned about two things:

1.) Weight. I know its slim, and the design looks awesome. I saw a video someone posted on 1/22 concerning this case and it looks great. However, the thing weighs (according to amazon) about 10.6 ounces. That's around .7 pounds added, which isn't a lot of weight in general, but just enough to detract from the light-weight qualities of the tablet.

2.) What if I wanted to hold my tablet in both of my hands? I'd have to wrap the flap around the back of the device and grip both the device and the case with the flap in my hands. A good example is playing Riptide GP with the case on. Is it too much of a bulky feel? How about if I wanted to take a picture while standing up? How does that fair? I think it's important as the case will be most beneficial when I have it in my hands, less than laying on my lap or on a table.

I was wondering if someone could take a pic with it in their hands too?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cotr:
1) It adds some weight, but it makes it feel... better. Less like the wind will carry it away.

2) The flap goes around the back but it isnt very bulky. the front flap is super slim and flexible.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] FFA:
Check the link to amazon and then scroll down to the users reviews, there is a video from a user in which he reviews the case.....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Dhyneland:
Just ordered this bad boy.. Hopefully it doesn't rip off the skinomi skin at the top where it latches..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] smitty0255:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006PWGESY/ref=oh_o06_s00_i00_details

I ordered this poetic case and it's the same thing. Probably made in the same Chinese factory, just stamped with a different name. It's $17still.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BUYMECAR:
Yeah I got the Poetic for $10 on Amazon. Good stuff.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] smitty0255:
I didn't see it for $10, but I ordered it on 1/1 for $15. I'm very happy with it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] erikk:
Thanks, yeah I found that one too and ordered it. I don't know why but I had a hell of a time searching for it on Amazon directly, but I found it through google when I was trying to find some other site that might sell it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Colombiano80:
so apparently MoKo makes the same ipad-type case i was looking for, only in leather as opposed to the soft rubbery material. really cant' decide what i want now.

http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Ultra-Tr...1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1327460117&sr=1-1

@ $16.99, it is slightly cheaper than the current $27 for the other case.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] opentoe:
I think the best case right now is the Caseen. I've used and had many of the others. Moko, Blurex, etc...

http://www.amazon.com/caseen-SKINNY...4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1327463136&sr=1-4
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PossumK11:
What's with the bright red color inside the cover? If you're using it with the cover folded back in public, it'll really stand out. This is the case I wanted to get if I was going to keep the TFP, but that was before I saw pictures of the red inside.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pyro6128:
Eww both of those cases cover the bezel and can't be used with the dock
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ranwanimator:
So be forewarned that the tightness of the Moko may... MAY damage your prime. I got my prime yesterday and the case today. Have been super careful with the prime only transporting it in the box in which it came. I slid the prime into the case knowing ahead of time the fit might be tight. Well it was pretty tight and when I went to wake up my prime this is what greeted me.

dl.dropbox.com/u/6800512/IMG_20120125_171734.jpg

One day old. If the thing is so delicate that I can't put on a case then that's pretty sad. I was going to do a return on it anyway due to a hot pixel right in the middle of the screen, but now it's not even debatable.

So I say may because I didn't hear any creaking or popping or cracking and I was careful not to twist the prime going in. Could be coincidence but be forewarned.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] opentoe:
I doubt you can blame the case for that. Seems the tablet is super sensitive. While the Gorilla glass is great, the tablet itself may be real susceptible to easy damage.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Red One:
I highly doubt it was the case. You may have gotten one that was faulty to begin with. I constantly take mine in and out of the case because people want to see it. I haven't damaged it yet, not even so much as a scratch. Either that, or when you were trying to shove it in there you may have squeezed it too hard in a bad way.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Colombiano80:
up to $29....wow they just don't stop.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
Supply & demand ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ranwanimator:
I will add that as I was packing up the prime for shipment and getting everything together I noticed the power adapter had gotten super duper hot. I didn't notice that kind of heat build up when I was doing the initial charge so maybe something was wrong with the charger. I had it plugged into a surge protected outlet on an APC UPS. So maybe the charger fried it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pyro6128:
someone on here reported that their charger actually started smoking and the plastic melted. Not out of the realm of possibility that that is what messed yours up
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 1SiK1500:
Just received mine and installed it, As most reviews say, it is amazing, thin and one of the more attractive and less intrusive cases on the market. Im glad i found this review. I will be stoping by Office Depot tonight to return my Transleeve.

Edit : i also picked mine up off of Amazon for $18.00 plus shipping.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ciddy:
Did you get any reply? A quick google only returned the crap Transleeves...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slugbug2010:
I have been using that with my Prime for about a month - a friend with an PG gave it to me. No, it doesn't fit with the right cut outs for ports, camera, etc, but it served the overall purpose of protecting my Prime until I could find a suitable case.

It is great for a very very slim sleeve. It is ROBBERY to charge that much for it. It doesn't look or feel like it is worth more than $10. And it offers zero protection against anything other than scratches.

I really like the case that has been reviewed here. I've gone a bit over-board with cases, now that they are in stock, I have several ordered and on hand. All offering something different. Variety :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ciddy:
Review review review! With pretty pictures pleeeease! Like a good 3/4 view where one can see the thickness!

Seriously, would be super nice.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ChiGGz:
I've got a question.

When you flip the front cover behind prime, does it sit completely flat when you place it down on a table, or is there a little gap because of the way the back spine was made?

I ask because I plan to use it with my keyboard dock. If I can just flip the front cover backwards, and use velcro to stick it together, then it would work with a dock. I don't mind that the dock isn't covered at all.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] anoneemooz:
It would work fine with the dock (you can do as described) but fair warning as the tablet+dock itself isn't that stable to begin with (top heavy), folding it back and sticking it completely flat to the back of the tablet would make the tablet part even heavier than the dock making it even more unstable.

You can just fold it over and attach it somehow such that there is a triangle formed at the back rather than sticking it completely flat. You would make the tablet+dock even more stable this way. :) I plan on doing this.

Either that or you need not fold it back at all and just sit the dock on top of the flat (there are pictures of that somewhere in the thread)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] FunkyMcBain:
The Moko is a great case, works perfect, feels nice
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] killermojo:
I'd love to get this thing in Canada, anyone know where to find it?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jaymi77:
I've had this case for a week now, and I'm very pleased. Doesn't add a lot of bulk, pretty nice leather, everything is easily accessable, the corners are well protected and everything feels well constructed and sturdy. Well worth the price.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bballer71418:
Maybe its just the case I got or maybe I'm just an idiot. I bought the case because of this thread and all of the high reviews. Upon arrival I opened it and notice the fit was VERY snug, not a bad thing. Once I got it in, the case wouldn't close....the top piece that is suppose to snatch over the top of the ATP just hits the top.

Any help would be awesome.

Edit: and yes I tried pulling on the top of the case pushing on the tablet, just about everything I feel comfortable doing without hurting my prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Guitarfreak26:
Does this deffo work with the dock buddy? Have ordered one but one of the reviews said not compatible with dock? I mainly just use tablet but would be a pain if i had to remove it to use the keyboard
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rcatron:
I have the same case labeled as a Great Shield case and love it. The clasp should close. At first mine was very snug, but just pull out a bit and it should slide right over
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Guitarfreak26:
I can't seem to get the dock to fit at all.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pyro6128:
You have to undo the two bottom clips
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Guitarfreak26:
Do you mean the valcro flap that goes under the tab??
