Amazon has this for $80, Best buy for $100. Seems super pricy for a carrying case. Anyone have one?
Sony Tablet S Carrying Case

I want one, but none was in stock when i picked up my Tablet, so im using a HP Tablet case, works, its a bit big for the S Tab though. Im hoping they will make a cover like for the Acer, that the front folds around the back and stays on the Tablet all the time, instead of just a carrying case.
I ordered the Targus Leather Slipcase for $40. I saw an unboxing for the Sony one, but was turned off by the velcro at that price point. I prefer a magnetic closure.

Don't want a traditional cover as I want to handle the device naked with its unique form factor.

The Targus is too tight,I got it for free on my pre order and never used it till now
Wow, what a disappointment. I had a feeling it was the same case used for the iPad. You can find it for around $25 on Amazon. I saw the different "model" number and was hoping it was indeed for the Sony Tablet. Bummer!!!
Amazon is showing the Sony case for $70 now. Looks like the retailer is trying to move inventory.
I got one. $69 at adorama.com. A simple carry case for the S. Well made, but not a custom fit for the wedge. You can slip the S in with the big end down or up. No holes in it for access. Only useful for transporting your S between use points.
Thanks for the referral. I haven't heard of them. Ordered the dock/cradle for $29.99 free shipping (standard), no tax. Supposed to take up to 10 days for delivery, but it's nice to save a few bucks. My tablet is supposed to be here on the 28th. I was getting ready to take a hike to the nearest Best Buy that has one in stock, but that would be $43 including tax plus fuel.

I noticed adorama.com has an official leather Sony cover ($74.99) that's not offered at sonystyle.com.

It's backordered, but I ordered one. This has more functionality than the slip case. Can be used as a stand and also with the cradle.

Nice find. I hadn't seen that case anywhere I looked. If you get the cradle, the S may not fit in it when it is wearing a case. Pretty custom fit when naked. Doubt the power connection will make contact if you add a layer of leather. I'd like to see a slip case that can serve as a stand when the tablet isn't in it. May have to make one myself.
It should have a problem with the cradle as the back of the case seems to bend half way up to create the prop so that should put it out of the way(at least thats how it works with the official sony case)
I have a Cheap HP mini-netbook bag I picked up for a 10 quid from asda
http://direct.asda.com/Hewlett-Packard-Mini-Blue-Sleeve/000512027,default,pd.html
It holds it pretty snuggly and also has a couple of pockets for accessoriers to slip into like the power cable and a cleaning cloth etc

I was looking online at the Sony Store, they have a real cool one, that you slip the S into, and the front flap can fold over so its still in a case but you can use the Tablet, it was about $40, the downside is its backordered till around mid October!

I bought the dock/cradle, so I was looking for a carrying case. Sony has this one listed on their website but I found it on Amazon, it says Ipad but I'm pretty sure this is 100% the same case. Fits perfectly and exactly what I wanted, and at $16 USD(vs $25) its not a bad price.
Apparently I can't post links because of my post count even though I've been a member for over 2 years!
Search for STM Jacket for iPad on Amazon, its the $16.83 case.

I found a video that briefly shows this cover. Look for it at 1:56.

I got the official leather case yesterday from the Sony Center in Sheffield UK. Its a beauty!! £69.99 which is typical Sony Prices but what the hell!!. I was a bit shocked that you have to stick 2 pieces of Supplied Velcro to the back of the Tablet S and you get some extra stick on gels for the top thick end of the Tablet to keep it secure. The Case really does feel like a premium well made product and im glad i got it. I have concerns about taking the Tablet out of the case as the 2 gels are real sticky and some people would have a job getting it out!!
Overall the case is excellent and can be folded to make typing real easy.

Hmmm...it's interesting that you guys get the really nice case that can be folded and used for typing or watching video. We in the U.S. get the boring slip case.
Wow!!! I ordered Saturday and it was delivered today (Tuesday) via FedEx Ground. Noticed the shipping address is a Texas one, which is where I'm located. Perfect timing, as my tablet is on the UPS truck for delivery today.
Guess I'll go ahead and order the official screen protector ($19.99) from them as well, although it's backordered.How times have changed, Europe gets everything first now in the tech department!! The keyboard is out in a few weeks as well!
Sony Uk website keeps saying available for pre-order only. When did you order yours and from where please?
