Default New Caseen case...nice!

Just purchased this case. Looks beautiful. The makers said their price is higher due to the quality of the leather and stitched seams. From the pictures, looks like the perfect case for me....and has a hand strap on the back! There is a $2.00 coupon code.

You could have gotten that exact case off eBay significantly cheaper

DONATE TO ME
I have seen 3 or 4 (or 20) cases exactly like this one on Amazon under different manufacturer names. The most popular are Moko and Poetic. They generally sell around $10-20

Thanks opentoe for posting this here as well, and showing me this forum! I hope you know we appreciate this a lot.

Well no better time for caseen's first post here on XDA =). opentoe asked me if the discount was okay for XDA members to use in a PM to me over at the other forum (So he didn't post the code above i guess, I'm sure some people are wondering).

You can use primeforumsblack for $2.00 off the caseen black prime case.

You can use primeforumspink for $2.00 off the caseen true pink prime case.

You can use primeforumsretro for $2.00 off the caseen retro pink plaid prime case.

Link is above in OP's post, as I am sure it is bad form (against rules) for the manufacturer to post links to the products.

In defense of the caseen case product, all the cases linked above are very good for the price! I am always amazed at the quality (and price!) that those dealers can bring in competitive marketplaces like amazon. However, all those cases are made from plastic PU vinyl leatherette material, which has its merits but is significantly less expensive. Our material is genuine leather, and we just released this case to market yesterday night! The case has been in development for over a month, and yes at first glance some design points may be similar to other cases. Rest assured, we do a damn fine job at making sure the fitment is spot on perfect (and I am not knocking the competition, I am sure they have good fitment too). All cases go through a blueprinting, design, and testing process to ensure quality before production. One

Another poster didn't like that the bezel was covered, but this must be the case for a classic stitched design without the use of plastic, and plastic 'shell' type materials. I understand why people do not like bezel surrounds, and we want to make these people happy. We are constantly developing more solutions. I can say that our design team has played around with the idea of shell type cases with more exotic materials like carbon fiber and fiberglass. Hopefully one day we can bring these to market =)

As this is a just released new case product for the Prime, I hope some who had our case for the previous transformer will vouch for the quality of our case. Also I am sure some will vouch for our new prime type as well.

I hope this clears some things up! At caseen we do our best to provide exceptional customer service, feel free to PM or ask any questions and I will gladly answer them.

Using metal clamps covered in PU fake leather I'm not a fan of either. I have the Bluerec case. Once I did finally did get my prime "clampped" down I noticed if I wanted to view it at one of the angle I had to UNclamp the bottom again, and this has to be done everytime. While you can adjust the clamps with some tools it just doesn't hold the tablet like I would like it to. This is why I like the style cases where the tablet slides into a protective pocket and then STAYS there. No need to unclamp or remove it. Using the Bluerex case also, the rear backplate is open and susceptible to scratches. Using a Caseen type case it is always covered, hence no scratches. To each his own...I really like to keep my devices/electronics protected the best possible way...and the clamp style case isn't in that direction.
