Many of you are already looking as I recently moved to a pocket for the Transformer Prime tablet. All I can say here you are right! The bag is highly recommended! Made it is I think for the EeePad Transformer but my Transformer Prime (Tablet) fits perfectly in. The bag looks visually appealing and offers a solid protection. Either you can put his tablet into the grid or upside down under the Velcro if you're afraid to be display or you put something under it. Actually, because you have to but have no fear -> Gorilla Glass The smell is indeed strong, but not unpleasant. I do not know whether your the smell of new electrical equipment knows shortly after you've unpacked it, I like him and just about smell the bag. So you always have the scent of great new equipment. So far so good, I hope I could help;)
