You can find my full review with photos and such on my xda review in accessories section of the TF700 forum. This is an abbreviated review. This case was initially marked for the TF700, then changed. I ordered it before this change. I intended to send it back as it changed the same day as I bought it. The seller was awesome and offered full refund and return shipping with no issues. I decided to try it anyways. It was tight but it did fit. After a few days if use the tightness loosened up and it was a perfect fit. It clings with 6 tabs. 4 are primary and 2 are just to help it at its pivot point, not used to hold case to device. These secondary tabs are ather loose, but still serve their intended purpose. I have absolutely zero regrets on this purchase. If you decide to get it for your TF700, be aware it may or may not be an ideal fit, but it will likely be tight which will loosen up over a week or so. Especially the closure tab, which was very difficult at first but is actually quite easy now after just a few days.
Profile 4 Stars. This at least doubles the Prime's width. The protection is good so you are making a sacrifice to hopefully have the tablet look like new for a long time. Slim is most likely in comparison to Roo Case's Dual View case.
Fit 2 Stars. It slides into place but the fit is terrible. The bottom "hooks" for lack of a better term really feel forced. They should by design have an easy in and out feel. The hook to close the top of the cover also requires some force to close the cover. The hooks to keep it in place are great but Roo should really have thought about the function of each hook rather than make them all the same.
Overall I would give this 3 stars but am hesitant on keeping it. Will update with durability if I end up keeping it for an extended period of time but my first impression is that I will not have issues with durability.
***UPDATE
I am adding a star to my review for two reasons. First of which being PC Micro Store has been the first company to ever follow up with me on a purchase through Amazon. Pleasant conversation with a sales rep who explained that they sell a similar case for the iPad and said users mentioned it needed to break in. I am still not completely sold on the closing hook but overall the case broke in relatively quickly to a good point. No doubt this case will hold up over time though. I would give the seller 5 stars, it is nice to deal with a company that cares about its reputation and end user's experience.This case does NOT fit the TF700. I received mine today and my new Infinity just will not fit into this case the case it just a little bit too small. :-( sending it back mondayI contacted the seller after ordering and then reading some comments here about the fit of this case to a TF700, I was concerned about accepting delivery. I received a response within 24 hours from their customer service and they couldn't have been nicer. They encouraged me to try the case but I would have no problem returning the item for either a swap or a refund they had some new cases coming in as well that they indicated I was free to try to ensure a proper fit on my ASUS Infinity TF700.
I admit the case was a tight fit to the tablet but I am VERY pleased with it and have no intention of returning. Sliding the tablet into the two top corners and side holders was a breeze. Once in it took a little extra effort to wrap the bottom two holders around the lower corners of the tablet but once they were in I was comfortable that the tablet was in tightly. In fact, I preferred the tightness of fit as I felt the mounting was VERY secure and there would be no problem with tablet slippage. Also, since the case and corners are leather they will stretch a little over time and with use. I do not set the tablet up on a desk so I cannot comment how fitness would be affected if frequent removal from the lower frames for vertical viewing is done. However, overall I couldn't be happier with the case and highly recommend PC Micro Store.Received case and quality was quite good. Case has basically 6 hooks that keep it in place. One on the top, bottom, and each of the corners. The hooks closest to the spine couldn't wrap around the TF700T but the others did just fine. It seemed like the tablet was just a few millimeters to large. So, whenever I opened the cover, the case would fall from the tablet at the spine while the other hooks held.
In the end the product quality was solid, just didn't fit what it said it would properly.
