Yea I would like to know too. I just bought an SD wireless card and would like to stick the a730 in the hard case when I need the PDA and card protected as well.

Porporta is going to release a case by the end of this month and covertec has a plan too.

The best is probably the Brando Case wich is available for 32USD directly in Taiwan (without any Transport cost)

Regards
Greg

chocorem,

Check out the following - PDA Den carries a couple of different models for the A730, both leather and a neat-looking soft silicon one. I've order two cases from them and I'll post a review when they arrive. The site is:

http://pdaden.com/shop/catalog/category_401_Asus.html (leather)
http://pdaden.com/shop/catalog/cate...Asus_MyPal.html (silicon)

The other option currently available is the Piel Frama leather case for about 60 euros:

Expansys also sells this case as the Chairman's Case for $75US:

Default BTW...

I just noticed the PDA Den also offers a custom-fit aluminum case for the A730. To see all the cases they offer for the Asus just go to:

johnmcd,

Have you received your cases yet?

Just wondering, will any of the 'soft' leather or silicon cases still allow room to insert into the cradle when they are on?

Also, any concerns with heat build up with cases? I've never used one before.

zoo99,

The silicone soft case was on backorder, so I had them hold the shipment until both cases I ordered were availabe to save on shipping costs. They should be here in the next few days. As soon as I have them I'll post something.

That aluminum case seems pretty cool--it looks like none of the cases will work with the cradle, though.

Hi, I just ordered the silicone case. Do you have it yet?
What do you think of it?

be careful folks... if you are planning to buy the extended battery, that will change the dimension of your 730(w) and those cases will not fit it anymore.
