Great alternative folio style case for the Asus Transformer

---

Just got my Transformer today and went to Staples to see what sort of cases they had available. Anyway, long story short, I came across this folio/zip up case...

http://www.staples.com/SOLO-Studio-C...product_912505

It's listed for the ipad/kindle dx, but it ended up fitting great. There are some downsides to it which I will list below, but all in all it's a great alternative case with the limited selection available.

Pros:

- Very well padded case
- Nice design, very simple
- Holds the transformer in place well
- Soft interior which shouldn't scratch the screen at all
- Zips up for extra protection/reinsurance
- Can charge the Transformer while in the case

Cons:

- Covers up the top volume rocker slightly
- Covers up the power button fully

I got it for $25 in-store, online it's a little bit more. If you could deal with those two cons, it's a fine case.

If you have any questions, just ask.

No problem. I know right now the only options for Asus transformer cases are the overpriced official one or the one's from Hong Kong, so I figure this case is worth it for those looking for something else.

thanks for the info, i'm looking for a portfolio type case and i think ill drop by staples and give this a look.

Thanks for posting this. I am also looking for a Portfolio style case. I like that the two corners on one of the side are static and not elastic. The price point is high though, that is about what I'd expect to pay for something made specifically for the Transformer ideally. I might have to bite though depending on how long I can hold out for my ideal case.

No problem. The fit is great actually, it's just some rockers are slightly covered up. You can still power it on while in the folio, you just can't see the button, but it's not difficult to press down. I don't think the official Asus Sleeve is worth $40 honestly, nor do a lot of people. There is also an Asus folio on ebay for around $18, but it's shipped from Hong Kong.
