It may be the most hotly anticipated new electronics gadget since the iPhone 4, and the Asus Transformer Prime definitely lives up to its hype. The hyper-thin, super-light Transformer Prime from Asus is a bit heftier than the typical tablet, but that’s because it’s packing a whole lot more power. As the name suggests, the Asus Prime “transforms” from a tablet to a laptop with the addition of an optional keyboard dock. In addition to extra processing power and battery time, the Transformer Prime has sleek, modern good looks – but the “official” Asus Transformer Prime case leaves a lot to be desired. In fact, after turning in a stellar design performance on the Transformer Prime, it looks like the Asus designers basically just phoned in the design for its case.
Face it – when you lay out the bucks for a beautiful piece of electronic gadgetry like the Asus Prime, you want to make sure that it keeps its sterling good looks – not to mention its functionality. Judging from the videos and the reports of people who bought into the manufacturer’s “protective Transformer Prime case”, it’s not even better than nothing. There are even reports that the metal parts on the case are positioned in such a way that they scratch the back of the Prime and may eventually wear grooves into the metal. That’s no way to protect your new toy!
Enter the third party market. Even though the Asus Transformer Prime has only been out since early November, a number of third party manufacturers have already designed protective cases custom made for the Asus Transformer tablet that are more functional, more attractive and all around more useful than the protective sleeve that Asus sells. In fact, a high quality Asus Prime case offers great looks, superb protection and access to all the ports and speakers available, including the keyboard dock.
Even better, stylish cases for the Asus Transformer Prime include a foldable cover that transforms the case into a kickstand viewer for your tablet. Acase, for example, makes some of the most attractive and functional Asus Prime cases. Available in many different color choices, the Acase Transformer Prime cases are nearly as multifunctional as the Asus Prime itself. The cases are covered in genuine Litchi grain leather and feature detailed cutouts to provide access to all of the necessary ports and connectors. The front cover is foldable and the edge rests against one of three different grooves on the back cover to hold your tablet at the best angle for working, viewing or reading, whatever your preference.
Don’t leave your new Transformer Prime tablet unprotected when a quality, leather case and Transformer Prime screen protector can provide all the protection you need to keep your new toy looking and working like new.
