Default Smart cover? Edit: TranSleeve?

Has anyone purchased a smart cover for their Infinity? Like something comparable to an iPad smart cover? I'd prefer something like that over a keyboard dock or sleeve type protection. Curious what's out there. Looks like Asus made some for older models but they are reviewed unfavorably.

I just bought this, and if im not happy with it i will for sure be getting my money back because the description and pictures are all over the place lol. Theres too many things to point out, but its only ten dollars so why not take the risk. Seems pretty cool if it checks out right

There is the official smart cover by Asus called TranSleeve.
But there is a report here somewhere it doesn't fit well and you have to tweak it a little too have it perfectly fit.

I don't think there is a smartcover for infinity, and i am afraid there never will be!
You see, smart cover means that when you "open" it, the screen turns on (iPad, Nexus7), becuase there is a magnet in the chasis of the pad that makes that possible. Haven't tried applying a magnet on infinity, but i don't think there is one...

So, sorry about that. transsleeve maybe looks like smart cover, but it is pretty stupid if you ask me

TranSleeve is what I'm looking for. Just light protection for the screen when I set it down and a stand when in use. Has anyone tried it with the TF700? The reviews are mixed from TF201 users, some love it some don't.

Also, anyone try waiving a magnet around this thing yet? If they eventually came out with one that could trigger the screen like an iPad that would be ideal.

Apple already patented magnets so we can't have them

And touch displays..

I have the transleeve, and it's a perfect fit. I read somewhere that it made marks on the side of the tablet, but on mine there is small rubber patches on. So I guess they have fixed that problem.

Nexus 7 has magnet. I had hoped Infinity had one as well.

where did you order it from? Are you still enjoying it? Does it have holes for all of the ports?

last question, how is it with and without the dock attached?
Transformer Infinity - CleanRom (always the newest version)
160gb of total space.
Nexus 7 - 32gb - Unrooted

Yes please tell a bit about it, maybe take some photos.
I think about buying it but it is nowhere in store so I could look at it.

Thanks
