Case that doesn't block HDMI?

Looking for a TF 300 case that also fits the keyboard, which will not interfere with the HDMI port. Many Amazon case reviews mention the HDMI port being obstructed. Any suggestions welcome. :)
 
Hey, I just wanted to add that the case I posted the link for actually has slots right in front once you open it up. They are for sd card storage. It comes in handy if you need a place to store a couple extra sd cards if you may have other data that needs to be accessed.

This is the actual case that I ordered. It is a nice brown leather. Keep in mind that it is made by Poetic and comes with a 3 year warranty.

I also bought one similar to this and it comes in handy around the house. It's just a simple rubber case to keep the edges from being banged up and protect the back from getting scratched.

A lot of people complain about cases and say that they weigh a lot. Well, in actuality the keyboard and dock weigh a good bit together. The actual weight of the leather case is only maybe a pound. It just adds extra bulk because it has some padding in it. The padding in the case gives it a nice feel and also adds an extra layer of protection.

I've been very pleased with mine. Not only do I think that it looks really nice :D, the keyboard part can also can be detached if you just want to use just the tablet w/o the dock.

I think I got a great deal ($20) and if I had it to do over knowing what I know today, I'd buy it again.

Good luck with your search and I hope you find a case that you like. Be sure that the seller has a decent feedback score if buying off Ebay or Amazon. That could save you some heartache down the road. :)
 
Wetbiker - can you attach the keyboard with the silicone skin in place, or do you have to remove it please?

The silicone is a little thick I think. It may work but I haven't tried it because I don't want to bend the clips out on the dock. If they bent out even a little there would be too much play in it for when I wanted to hook it up without any kind of case on it. A loose fit that wiggled would be bad news. May even crack the glass. ;)
 
I am sure it won't fit if the plastic goes down to the bottom because the clips are a tight fit. I just wondered whether there was a cut out to accommodate where the keyboard fits. Looks like not.
