Guest Matchstick Posted April 9, 2011 Report Posted April 9, 2011 Now the transformer is out there we can start worring about all the little bits of tat we use to dress it up with :) Personally I'm looking for a neoprene pouch/case so that I've got something to put it in on my way to work - I'm guessing there won't be official cases out for a bit but has anyone found a netbook case that does the job ? I'm also after a spare cable or usb cable adaptor so I can plug it in both at work and at home without needing to remember to carry the cable around with me.

I bought a case from eBay in advance that was advertised for the Xoom and it works well for the Transformer http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ANTI-SHOCK-SLEEVE-CA...=item2562247a8e

Guest MaximumFish Posted April 13, 2011 Report Posted April 13, 2011 Earlier I bought one of these Samsonite cases from PC World. http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/samsonite-ar...318913-pdt.html It looked ideal, made for 11" netbooks and designed to be used without needing to take the device out of the case I thought it would be perfect with the keyboard. Alas, while the tablet fits, the case's zip sits directly on top of the power button making it far too easy to turn on. I'll return it tomorrow and try something else.
Guest RedSlug Posted April 14, 2011 Report Posted April 14, 2011 I bought a case from Tesco. It was supposed to be a netbook case, but it fits very well. They had a few that could have fitted, but I choose one that cost £10. Bargain!
Guest Putzy Posted April 14, 2011 Report Posted April 14, 2011 Same here... I think it was £5 - can't quite be sure. Now all we need is a screen protector, the keyboard dock and a good non-dock stand! Hopefully some things will start popping up.
Guest tomqman Posted April 14, 2011 Report Posted April 14, 2011 Maplin had a few good cases for £10-£15
Guest AFK_Matrix Posted April 15, 2011 Report Posted April 15, 2011 Don't know if this is the right thread but was just wondering if there are any good kits out there for cleaning the screen of the tablet? I have an LCD cleaning kit I got with my video camera but not sure if I can use it on the tablet? I did give it a go cleaning with my glasses cloth but it wasn't great :)

I did give it a go cleaning with my glasses cloth but it wasn't great :) Well I personally use PixelClean on all my screens, however any LCD screen cleaning product will work. Also im not sure if there is any polarizing coating on the screen like most LCD's since it uses Gorilla Glass so maybe you could use any glass cleaner. Would not recommend this without confirmation that the screen is just glass and no special coatings.

I was watching a youtube video today ( an Unboxing vid) and the guy said at last my Asus tablet arrived today and Asus send me a case and cleaning kit? So not sure if this is standard supply from Asus? It looked like a neoprene type sleeve and a blister pack with a bottle of fluid and cleaning cloths etc?? Edited April 17, 2011 by highbury-gooner
Guest highbury-gooner Posted April 19, 2011 Report Posted April 19, 2011 Amazon are now selling screen protectors £15/£25 and cases

Guest keef319 Posted April 20, 2011 Report Posted April 20, 2011 (edited) Navitech have a couple on Amazon for the Xoom. I'm hoping they tweak the dimensions slightly and sell an eee Pad version. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Navitech-Genuine-A...663&sr=8-27 They seem to have this style for a few different devices so fingers crossed.

Guest Deus_ex11 Posted April 20, 2011 Report Posted April 20, 2011 Anybody tried a 32GB class 10 Micro SDHC in it yet? I'm thinking of getting one but I would like to know it works before I buy it.
Guest cacklemygladys Posted April 20, 2011 Report Posted April 20, 2011 Anybody tried a 32GB class 10 Micro SDHC in it yet? I'm thinking of getting one but I would like to know it works before I buy it. I went for a 16gb class 10 micro SD - works fine. The price difference between 16 and 32gb wasn't worth it IMHO.
Guest Mr Paul Posted April 20, 2011 Report Posted April 20, 2011 Does anyone know where i can get a case like this ? http://www.pcpro.co.uk/gallery/reviews/366...er-tf101/162889 Spoke to the guy at PC Pro, he tells me its the official Asus Transformer case and he's waiting to get more info back from Asus about it and availability for me :)
Guest Markteacher Posted April 20, 2011 Report Posted April 20, 2011 I received this in response to an inquiry about cases today, looking promising but without a time scale... 'Glad you are loving the transformer and can only apologies about the light bleed. More stock is on its way! Cases for the transformer should be landing in retailers very soon and other accessories will be available shortly. As to what they will be is still being confirmed but we will put up a post on our websites as well as facebook and twitter when it has been finalised. We are aiming to ship out the keyboards as soon as they land with us at the office. Regards ASUSTEK (UK) LTD.'

I am going to wait for this official case then i think :-) Thanks for taking the time to find out for us.
Guest IQn Posted April 22, 2011 Report Posted April 22, 2011 The official cover is in the end of this video.
Guest Deus_ex11 Posted April 23, 2011 Report Posted April 23, 2011 A good review here rating it better than the Xoom Expert reviews Its also showing the case/stand combo which hopefully won't be in short supply.
