Gumdrop Drop-Tech Case for Asus Transformer Infinity TF700

---

This case hasn't been developed yet, but I'm pushing for it and hopefully the company will honor us by making this case for the tf700. I had a Gumdrop case for my tf101 and absolutely loved it. I tried several other cases and screen protector combinations, but none matched up to the protection and style I got from the gumdrop all-in-one case. I've emailed the company already to inquire about development, to which it looked fairly positive, but nothing was stated definitely. I'm hoping that Gumdrop will visit this forum, see this thread, and realize that the tf700 community is thriving and development of a drop-tech case would be profitable for them.

So, with that being said, please post your thoughts and desire to also have a Gumdrop Drop-Tech Series case for your Transformer Infinity TF700. Hopefully they will see this and get on the ball!

Looks interesting, but I'm not sure if I need it for $50 (even it it's a reasonable price for the materials used):

Also, I think on this picture the bottom side covers the tablet a bit?

the tablet is covered on all sides. you are not able to use the dock with this case. i had the dock with my tf101 (actually still have the dock even though i sold the tf101) and rarely used it. i never missed the dock after getting the case. regarding the cost...i had purchased two different screen protectors until i found the right one that offered a crystal clear screen and also decent protection with ease of application. the case i settled on at the time was the Blurex Slim Folio, purchased from amazon.com. I liked the case until i dropped my tablet and realized that it doesn't really protect from drops well. also, the corners of the blurex case began to wear a bit and one of them actually was bent. considering the price of the screen protectors and the blurex case, compared to the all-in-one gumdrop...i prefer the gumdrop and know that im protected and my device still looks good.

not using the keyboard dock isn't a biggie at all...especially since i can purchase a bluetooth keyboard and the USB adapter (for my portable hard drive) for a quarter of the cost of the dock.

Sorry, I said it covers the tablet and I meant the screen (the buttons on the bar seem somewhat hidden under the whole construction of this thing).. although I'd love my Infinity to be bullet proof and last for infinity

How easily can you remove this thing and put it back on anyway?

I emailed them after talking about this in another thread and got some stupid generic canned response. Nothing loses my business as fast as canned responses. I'd rather be blown off then get some lame email that is pre-formatted to go out to everyone with a question. I'd still like to see them come to market, and would likely buy one if they were the only solution or best solution for a rugged case, but given an option of a comperable case such as trident or otter or seido styles I'd probably be more likely to pick a competitor that has demonstrated better customer care.

I actually got 2 messages from them, neither were canned responses. The first stated:

Hey Man

Thanks for the kind words

We just got finished with the Asus 300… What's the difference between these two that make a difference for you?

Thanks for the input!

so hopefully they are on the job there...but I really think a little encouragement would go a long way. I worked in sales and nothing brings about a new product more than customer demand and the prospect of future sales.

I will admit that Otterbox has OUTSTANDING customer support. I would be tempted if they made a rugged case for the TF700 as well. But only if they did a total redisign and used different rubber parts. Every otterbox product I have seems to really give and become loose. The gumdrop didn't have that problem and remained strong as the day it was put on. Trident would also be nice, but they don't seem to make the rugged multi-piece case for their asus tablets.

I sent a nice email originally saying that I really hope to see their case come out for the 700 and so on and so forth. It wasn't just a "do u make one for me?" type of email. I knew they didnt and was showing support fo the 700. That's why I was a bit disappointed by the canned response.

Exactly how I felt. But atleast some are getting genuine responses which says something for the comapny.

O hell yea I would love a gum drop case. A buddy had one for his prime and is was awesome.
