Gumdrop case for tf700t coming

---

I emailed Gumdrop the other day about a case for the tf700t. This is the reply I got:

A "pro-type" phase, wow these guys are high speed. Regardless of poor wordsmithing, I will have to earmark some cash for one of these. Looks like it'll be the first, and possibly only, "tough" case for our tablet and I'm glad it'll be a decent one.

Yes, it was initially very surprising to me that they actually decided to make one for the case. It will definitely be better that those leather fold out cases. The only thing that concerned me about the email is that they said it would be shipped out in August. It's already a few day into the month of August and they only have their prototype. They must have a pretty speedy production team in order to create and produce a case in basically under a month. Regardless of my thoughts, it will definitely be very welcomed to have a real case for the tf700t......and look pretty cool, too.

Damn, and not... I emailed them a week or two ago and got the same generic email that was posted previously by another user. Based on that I just ordered a cheaper case for $20. Now I wish I had saved that $20 to put toward one of these. and

Well it's nearly identical to the one they already make, just a little thicker and button relocation.

really happy that my thread/plea has been heard. i will be putting some fuloos (cash) into one of these as soon as it is ready. i did actually just order a skinomi full body skin and a poetic case to hold me until one of these came through...i was gonna cancel, but figure what the hey, i can always use them as a backup or just a change of style whenever i want.

great job Gumdrop...i knew you would come through!

I always pick a case right away even when its not what I want. I got the roocase and am quite happy with it, but would like a gumdrop also. As you said, I like to switch it up from time to time.

anyone heard any updates?

Still a month or so away, according to the owner Tim on August 15th.

they have it listed on their website now for pre-order...should be ready to go this fall: http://www.gumdropcases.com/dt-asus-tf-700.html
