MiniSuit ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity Case TF700 / TF700T PU Leather Keyboard Portfolio Stand Case Cover-Black

Having just received my TF700 in the mail a few days ago my choice of cases was somewhat limited. I ordered this case because it protects both the pad and the keyboard..Which i might add is the TF201 keyboard not the TF700, and it works perfectly fine, its cheaper and has a bigger battery. I would recommend the TF201 keyboard over the TF700 keyboard.The case comes in two parts, the case for the pad and the case for the dock. The whole case is made of nice supple black leather with a soft interior. The case for the pad holds it well and has cutouts for all of the ports and the speaker as well as the camera. It also has a portfolio style cover that swings shut over the front of the tablet. The interior of the portfolio cover has room for a business card and a small flap to hold some light paperwork. This part of the case also has a Stylus holder on the side of the pad. The portfolio cover can be folded back and used to prop the tablet up. This isnt very strong tho, and wont hold up to heavy presses on the screen.The case for the Keyboard holds the keyboard on all four corners. It seems to be held in pretty tightly. This part of the case can be removed and set aside while the tablet stays in the case in "Portfolio mode". You can connect the tablet onto the keyboard dock while both of them are in the case. Its not to hard, but takes a little practice to line up the edge of the case. The keyboard then snaps onto the back of the portfolio. The portfolio cover can then be closed over the whole thing.,Be warned tho...When its closed this thing is THICK. Very very Bulky. fully closed with both the dock and the keyboard its a little thicker then 2 DVD cases. But its very padded so while it offers great protection it greatly increases both the weight and the thickness of the tablet+keyboard.

I've been using this case for one full day now, overall I am very satisfied. I don't know if I'd pay the $31.50 MSRP for this case, but anywhere around $20 it's a good deal. As to the two main complaints, bad fit and bulkiness, I would say the following: first, I don't think you'll have any difficulty with the fit if you follow the instructions below; second, I can't imagine trusting anything less "bulky" than this to be any sort of cushion for this very expensive piece of gadgetry.A major source of complaints that I see is the fit, and that might be because the tablet is not getting installed correctly. The process for inserting the tablet -- and especially the tablet plus the keyboard dock -- is not at all intuitive. Even if you have a fairly good sense for spatial relationships, it's downright puzzling at first. Here's what I recommend if you have the tablet and dock:First, remove the part of the case that is meant to hold the dock. For me, this part shipped stuck into the inside of the case, which is not how it needs to be oriented when you insert the tablet. Second, insert the tablet in the case, with the edge connector facing AWAY FROM the side of the case that has the business card slot, strapping in the tablet with the small velcro strap. That is the step that confused me, as it looks like the tablet should fold into the case, oriented in the opposite direction. Third, install the dock into its protective case (the part you removed before), with the bottom edge under the triangle leather retainers. You can just leave off the elastic bands on the connector edge, as they block the USB port, and the dock stays in fine once everything is snapped together. Fourth, line the tablet up with the dock and lower it partially into place. Fifth, CLOSE THE TABLET TO THE DOCK and slide it the rest of the way in until it clicks by pressing against the top edge of the tablet on one side, and against connector edge of the dock on the other side, at the same time. Last, button the dock's case to the tablet's case and you're done.The fifth step is critical because it leaves more clearance between the tablet and the dock at the connector edge, so the tablet's retainer doesn't get squeezed while you're connecting the dock; the result is that you don't have to force the two together and worry about damaging the connectors or the tablet.Final notes: 1)The picture in the description does indeed show the tablet and keyboard installed in the correct orientations, although none of the pictures I saw show everything together at once; you can refer to the picture when you are doing my "steps two and three" if you need to. 2)When the tablet is installed correctly, the snaps on the keyboard case are made to stay snapped; they hold the keyboard in, and are not to be unsnapped when you open the case. This is one of the unintuitive things about this case, as they look like they should be the snaps that keep the case closed. 3)The flap with the business card holder is what actually closes the case; it wraps around everything and secures with a magnetic clasp. This part is also the stand when the case is open, whether you're using the keyboard or not.Once I got this thing assembled correctly, I was very happy with the case. All the ports, speakers, and cameras on my tablet and dock are useable, and as I said, the form factor is fine. I don't consider it "bulky"; it just feels like there's enough cushion to give the tablet a reasonable amount of protection. I would recommend this product.

I had high hopes for this product, being newly designed for the ASUS Infinity. It seemes to offer the flexibiliy to use the tablet docked or undocked with an easy transformation. However in practice, Minisuit has not delivered. The case is extremely bulky - almost tripling the thickness of the tablet+dock. It closes securely only when the keyboard dock is connected and even then only because of a double flap, there is no positive lock whatsover - magnetic, physical, or otherwise. ---EDIT: There is a small magnet holding the top flap closed but is was weak enough that I didn't notice it at first glance and only works with the keyboard dock section. When the tablet alone is in the dock there is no closure at all---And the real dealbreaker is that it is extremely difficult to dock the tablet. It almost has to be forced in as there is a very tight fit of the case on the tablet. I feel like I am potentially damaging the tablet each time I attempt to dock it. Additionally, because of the tight fit, the upper diagonal straps holding the case onto the keyboard block the tablet from docking and must be removed to dock the tablet. So the tablet keeps sliding out of the case since those straps need to be removed. Now this may not be a bad thing because the left strap blocks the USB port on the dock!An even larger dealbreaker is that there is no "Stand" as mentioned in the item title. If the tablet is undocked and the dock is not in the case, the tablet will not stand up at any angle and must lie flat. Yes you can unfold one flap and brace it on something but what's the point in that. This was a big ommission by Minisuit.Overall, the hassle of docking, having no stand, and the tremendous bulkiness of the case should pursuade potential buyers to look elsewhere. Maybe Minisuit will redesign this one since it seems to have not been tested in real life yet.In considering my rating, I was debating between one star and two. At the end, I decided on one star since this product's cons so far outweigh the pros that there is virtually no reason to purchase this until it is redesigned.UPDATE: The company has been extremely responsive to my communication and refund request. So although this particular product seems to have been flawed, I would (and actually just did) purchase other Minisuit products on Amazon. 5 stars for customer service.
