I have received the Acase stand for the Kindle DX that I plan to use for my TF. Since there are so few case out there for the TF, I thought to share my first impressions here.

I decided to order one because my wife owns a Kindle DX and could use a stand for it. (The TF is a little bit narrower than the DX and maybe just a tad larger, but they are pretty much the same size.)

The case is not genuine leather, but the material is soft and pleasant to the touch. I think it looks very nice and it fits the TF well:



Works well as a stand, but only in portrait mode:



It's a very tight fit and the elastic straps can be tricky to put in place:



Because on the TF the power bottom is so close to the corner, the straps cover it. (The elastic straps will turn on your machine; the leather straps won't.)



In my opinion, the only real problem with this cover is the smell: it has a very sharp weird chemical smell. My wife says she doesn't mind it and wouldn't have noticed it if I hadn't told her. I find it overpowering. I hope those Amazon reviewers are right when saying the smell wears off after a few days. Overall, I am rather satisfied. Looks good, feels solid, and offers better protection than a regular slip case. But I don't think I will keep using it if that smell remains.

By the way, after receiving my case, I learned about this upcoming case by Roocase (just my luck): http://www.amazon.com/rooCASE-Multi-...QCS/ref=sr_1_1

I also found this bag: CaseCrown-Multi-Pocket-Messenger-Chocolate-Transformer Bag

I am sure there will be more options pretty soon.
