First of all, I want to say that the PC Micro Store sent me this case in exchange for a different model that I received that was actually for the Transformer Prime. I contacted them the same day and they offered me this case which I received two days later. Communication with them was pleasant and the replies were very speedy. Very pleased with them in that respect. On to the case...

All the ports are very much available including the earjack. The cutout on the outside cover for the camera is somewhat insufficient in my opinion. This could because the thickness of the sleeve makes it a bit distant from the cover and even though aligned, I think the camera lens has more of a wide angle and still picks up the edge of the outer cover. Not a big deal as you can remove the inner sleeve as it is held by velcro and take a photo that way and then put it back in the leather cover.

The whole case feels sturdy and thick and the leather is very nice. It also has magnets in the flap to keep it secure. Shaking the tablet does not open the cover. None of the tablet sticks out so I feel confident if I drop it that the tablet inside would come to no harm.

The positions available from the ridges on the inside cover really work well. I have mostly used it landscape mode though but I expect it works just about as well in portrait mode.

One thing to notes is the outside cover had no cutout for the speaker though the inner sleeve does. The volume on the TF300T is loud enough that you can still here it fine though. I have a pair of earphones and with the jack fully exposed that is not much of an issue to me though.

Lastly, I don't have the keyboard for the TF300T and don't intend on using one so I can't comment on whether the tablet in just the sleeve would dock with the keyboard. All the docking ports are exposed but there still is some leather around the bottom.

In summary, with the exception of the camera cutout and maybe the speaker cutout, this is a really solid feeling leather case. I really like it.

This was the third case I've tried for my Asus Transformer TF300T tablet and so far it's the best. It was designed specifically with the TF300 and TF201 in mind and it shows. It's a very snug fit and it's obviously very nicely made. It's more of a rough/textured leather, but it's a thick design and looks like it would protect your tablet a lot better than many of the cheaper cases you can find online.

One of the previous reviewers mentioned that they wished that there was a clasp that holds the case together, however I found that there is in fact a magnet that pulls it shut. It's not a very strong pull compared to many of the other cases I've tried for other products and it needs to be closed just right in order for the magnet to work, but it'll do. I held it upside down to see if it pops open and it held without any problem.

Either they used weaker magnets or the fabric is so thick that it doesn't make them as effective, but you can always make an impromptu clasp using a fabric hairband. If the clasp is a deal breaker for you and you're not interested in making your own clasp then pass on this one. Since I just got it, I can't say if the magnets wear out over time.

I really liked the elastic loop for a stylus, which was a perfect fit for an average sized stylus though it may not be very ideal for really small or large styluses. Another I really found myself disliking is that the case doesn't rotate like you would think. I thought it merely swing around to different angles, but it turns out that Velcro keeps it in place and I can see that wearing out over time, so it was a bit of a let down for me.

One of the biggest things that annoyed me about the previous two cases I tried was that the charger slot was positioned at the bottom so that the tablet would have to rest on it if you wanted to use the tablet while charging. While it can turn around to give it better access, this makes it so that the camera is rendered pretty much useless since the only opening for it is on the top position.

The only reason this really bothers me is that since it's held on with Velcro you'll have to adjust it a lot if you want to use the camera and charge it without putting the charging cable under undue stress. For me it's not a really big deal since I have a cell phone and camera to take pictures, but it's a design flaw in my opinion that would have been caught if the designers thoroughly tested the product.

It's a really nice choice, but it's not without flaws. If any of these flaws turn you off then I suggest shelling out the extra money because I have yet to find a cheaper/nicer alternative to this without sacrificing quality.

Not a bad case for the money. It's nice to be able to stand the tablet in standard and portrait mode. The only thing I would like added would be a clasp or clip to lock it shut when you're carrying it.
