The official Asus sleeve is in stock now at their online shope in the UK.
Here: http://shop.asus.co.uk/shop/gb/en-G...0--ASUS-Eee-Pad-Transformer-TF101-Sleeve.aspx
Price isn't to bad so ordered one with a my 10% off code.
I ordered one too. Didn't have a discount code though.
Hopefully they will deliver quickly.

i ordered one too after having my order from amazon cancelled yet again!
Thanks for the heads up bud.
Just a heads up that although this website is AsusUK, the sleeves are actually being delivered from Germany and although its says dispatched within 24 hrs it still takes several days for them to arrive.
I was thinking that for £6 UPS it should come next day. I need to read the small print more thoroughly in the future.
My order status says "In process" but when I phoned the customer service number they said it had been shipped but there are no tracking details. She said I should have it within 5 days. I would have thought the status should say shipped and I would have expected an email to tell me that too.
I have already cancelled one order from Asus Laptops after waiting 2 weeks and being fobbed off by them several times with ficticious dates.
I have now had an email from them saying it has been shipped and the order status has updated to shipped with a UPS tracking code so obviously it hadn't shipped at the point the lady said it had. Expected delivery is Thursday according to UPS website.
Yep, got my confirmation email earlier too and mine also says delivery for this Thursday!
Thanks for sharing...now to keep a look out for the USB adapter...
Just ordered one.
Deffo comes from Germany. I paid with Paypal through their .com site yet the invoice came from .de

Excellent, as i was going through checkout i paused and registered the device on vip.asus.com as itt registered a pop up with 10% off code appeared so used that for a few pounds off, top job
So what do you think of the sleeve. Mine arrived yesterday. It is OK but is not worth the price.
The one position stand is a pain since a lot of games like angry birds don't rotate so are upside down if you turn the pad upside down for the low stand position.
I will be keeping an eye out for a better one.

First and foremost....I got my Prime today. Its perfect. No light leakage...No WIFI issues, GPS works, No loose screen, Update took 5 minutes and had no issues. Keep the faith people...There are good primes out there...We just see a majority of the issues here on the forums.
Now to the order of business. I am a seasonal Best Buy employee (Senior at Purdue University who works here during christmas...mainly for the sick employee discount). You CAN CURRENTLY get the Grey dock at ANY Best Buy store. They are still not available to order online and you will not find the device in the store that day, but they are obtainable. The process is as follows.
1) Simply walk into said Best Buy.
2) Head to the computer department and find someone who does not look stupid.
3) Tell them you would like to do an OMS order for the Asus transformer prime dock.
4) They will say they cant do it and cant find a SKU.
5) Give them this sku: 4175048
6) They will be able to OMS ship either to that store...or to your house.
7) Wait a week or so, depending on when you order...(Our trucks come from the Chicago warehouse every Thusday night so it totally depends on when that store gets shipments from its warehouse)
8) Recieve your dock ahead of schedule.
This does work as I have done it for myself and have a dock on our truck due this Thursday the 5th.
Just as a quick update on the units themselves...I have just today started to see them moving through RSS (our investory software). Only 2 of them were shipped to the largest store in central Indiana which I bet are OMS or some sort of .Com orders. You are not able to OMS the actual tablet.
-Quix.
I will try this tomorrow. If it works, you are awesome. Thanks!
Wtf, why not. Ups usually doesn't arrive till about 5 pm so I have some free time thanks!
Ill kiss you if this works. Tired of missing online stocks that run out in <20 minutes.
Is this able to be done over the phone with your local Best Buy store? :O
Thanks for this appreciate it but I do hate to inform you your GPS may work from a technical standpoint( like everyone's) but will not work as a real world practical turn by turn navigation device.
You should indeed be able to do this over the phone assuming you are ok giving them your credit card information over the phone as well.

I owe you a kiss. On the truck for the 10th. The guy was pretty adamant about them not having anything at any best buy. I told him to check the sku for ****s and giggles and he told me there were actually 128. dont know if that was for the store or all of bestbuy, but its one less now. Thanks for the heads up.
Worked for me. Estimated delivery date Jan 9 - Jan 12

As of 8 minutes ago I have a transformer prime, although I'm at work and haven't seen it (in person) yet. @OP any word when they will have them instock at the stores because I am leaving at the end of the week. If I would do this today would they have it by Friday? Or am I better of to wait and do it next week?

Depends on when they get their weekly inventory shipments in. Usually less than a week, but they can tell you if you call. My bestbuy is on Tuesdays, Quix says Chicago's is Friday, etc.

How would one go about doing this on the phone? I ordered my prime over the phone, because I had to do financing, because for some reason I couldn't find out how to do it online. I was transfered about 4 times to different departments until I was connected with someone who ordered my prime and let me do financing.
So if I want to get the keyboard, and use the "magic OMS word," would I call the 1-8xx number? (I don't know it off the top of my head) And once I call, who do I ask to talk to?

I am wondering why the gray TFP is not available when you do a regular search. I had to do a google search to find it. It's under Other Product Categories and then Exclusive Offers categories where it can not be found by searching. It's a good thing for me since it's hard to find I was able to buy one earlier today.

Back in stock, guys!
EDIT: Tablet only, BTW. Sorry to those who may have jumped thinking the dock was available.
Tablet's still up as of this edit!
I went ahead and put my order in online. I too find it odd that you must go thru the Asus site or use the SKU to search for the prime on the Best Buy site. At any rate, they quoted me an in-store pickup date of 1/14/12. Hope that actually comes to fruition.
I just got my first prime today. Everything seems fine but two stuck pixels in the center of the screen. One green, one red. None of the "fixes" I have looked up online work so I ordered up another and will return this one. I will continue this process until I get a perfect one.

hahahahaha. That is true! But I am strong and I can refrain from hitting.....the.....butt...on.....phew time to log off and shut the computer down. It's to hard not to order it, but I WILL HOLD OUT FOR the BB Champagne
I received my tracking number already. I have to wait for it to be in the system though. My dock is suppose to arrive today, bought it on Newegg though. I'm returning my defective one in on Monday.
Ordered mine yesterday when it first became available and I just got my tracking code! Can't wait!
Ordered one yesterday. Waiting on tracking number anxiously.
I wrote this early in the morning after I finally gave up on the prime. Here is the link to the story.
http://nerdtechnics.com/?p=11
The site is clean, I miss my Prime.....
OK...lol. yeah its better you linked to that story as its more like a blog. Very detailed on your experience. You left everyone hanging though. What they end up doing or you doing after they wouldn't give you cash back for gift cards. It was free gift cards anyways so I would've just pulled the small cash amount out n placed another order. Don't let best buy taint your yearning for the Prime...lol.
Haha, sorry, was getting late and needed to end it quickly. I asked the cashier to go get a manager because he couldn't give me cash for the gift card. Manager came over, I just said that I had been over at customer service for the last hour and a half and that I'd like cash for this gift card because i am no longer going to shop at this store.
I just got so annoyed with the waiting game. Anyone I spoke with had absolutely no idea what i was talking about most of the time. Also, the computer guy that came over to check the Prime, he actually says, "why don't you just get an ipad"? I wanted to slam his head against the counter.

Cool story bro.
Thanks for taking the time to share that story.
I've always detested BestBuy. They're the "Hot Dog On A Stick" of consumer electronics stores. Too well lit... Too plasticky... Forget about getting anything even remotely obscure there -- too few choices on most things.
'Won't even get started on how borderline criminal Geek Squad is. $25(ish) to "optimize" my e-reader?
Being an IT professional, I advise as many folks as possible to avoid that store and go elsewhere... anywhere...
That's MY story, sort of...
Actually the main difference was, on that Friday when they wouldn't put a Saturday delivery sticker on for you? They went the extra mile for me, and SENT IT GROUND (after I had paid $29 for overnight shipping 4 weeks earlier), causing it to take another 12 days to reach me in a padded envelope, after riding via Rail from California to North Carolina. The box was quite crushed, though the Prime seemed okay... at first.
oh, and they charged me for the pre-order immediately, even though the policy says "we won't charge until we ship" so I had paid for it almost 6 weeks earlier.
The good news? I got my Prime for free. Yep. BB provided a FULL REFUND. I should be happy yes? Sort of. The Prime ended up RMA'ed, and I am without it once again. The saga continues. It was agreed to send me another one, yesterday, overnight. And yes, I agreed to let them open and test it since I am NOT going to be without it again, but instead of shipping it yesterday - Thursday they forgot... whoops. Now I wait till next week, unless I can get Asus to do a Saturday sticker...This is like the movie groundhog day... it literally never ends.... and I so lived my OG transformer... It's like I am being punished for wanting something more... The Prime I got paused, hung and lagged on virtually everything I did with it. It was cosmetically nice, but never saw a single GPS satellite. Wifi... fair... Light bleed, not terrible, but enough to cause concern, in every way it was ... not much better than my TF101 except in looks, and took a better picture. Not nearly as slick as I had hoped. Looked wonderful with the dock though... Horrible to keep clean. ICS is cool, but again, it lags so often, ... well maybe the nbew one will be better, or enough updates will come along to get things right... sigh

Thanks for posting this. I am glad to know I wasn't alone. That is pretty awesome that they gave you a free one, hopefully you get it soon! My device did work pretty well. Still got hung up every once in a while but I just couldn't spend that kind of money and not have at least the build quality done well and I am not dealing with that many dead pixels. If it were just a couple, that's another story.

Maybe that is why I don't get a great signal with my D-Link dual band gaming router, I didn't buy the solid gold packet protecting ethernet Cables! It has nothing to do with having a three floor residence.
On the other hand, I did work there for three years so I do know how to game the system. Due to the one year ADH I have only had to pay 99 a year to upgrade my laptop to a newer version.

So I finally gave in and decided to RMA my unit for two large spots of hot pixels and the wifi/bluetooth drop out. I was hesitant because of hearing the long delays and figure they should have started to clear out a little by now. I took still shots, video including having some government meeting that was live on TV so they know when it was taken. Then I took more video at FedEx before and after boxing. I'll let you know when ASUS tries to pull the CID on me, and I made sure to insure it for $500.
LOL.. I mean looooooool. It would be even funnier than that if not previous experience by some users, which could have some good use of that sort of proof. Sods law, you won't need any of it as everything will go smooth as butter (only because you have it).

I RMAed a prime to grapevine, TX this week. I took dated still shots, printed it and sent it with the prime, also a copy of the bestbuy receipt that it was ordered Dec. 28th. I also took a video of the prime and its process of bubble wrapping the heck out it with one hand ( other is holding the video cam), inserting all the documents and pictures into the box and sealing it. Hehe I made sure they know I have proof of its condition when it was packaged. Better safe than sorry.
exactly, i had the date on my pictures too but those can be faked. That is why I did the video with proof of something happening that day you know. It's such a shame we have to go through all this just for a simple RMA. But like the poster after me said, hopefully Murphy's law, prepare and you won't need it. I went to fedex office and the box they use is serious, could have fit my 17" laptop, plus they wrapped the crap out of it. here is a question, will anyone ever reimburse us for shipping to them? I mean if it's a manufacturer defect why do we have to pay to ship it in back to them?
Wait, you had to pay shipping on your RMA? Asus sent me a FedEx prepaid slip for mine so I haven't paid for anything so far (though I fully expect to hear that "out of warranty" bs). Maybe the CS reps don't even know what they're doing. Talk about inconsistent service...

Yup, had to pay for shipping it to them... Maybe you should give pointers to future consumers that will have to go through this process on how to demand a prepaid slip.
Good job by those of you taking all of these steps, but does everyone realize how ridiculous this is. This is a great example of why I'm done with Asus after my Prime.

I'm getting close to feeling the same way you do but I'm still holding out that the front line people are honestly trying to do the right thing. It's the 1st tier supervisors that I have a hard time believing anything they say.
As far as the pre paid shipping for the RMA, I think all you have to do is ask and when your asking say that the reason for the return is from no fault of your own and then they ask for permission for the pre paid label. I almost made the mistake of paying and when I called back I said this and they sent me the label.
Also, when I shipped my Prime I inquired as to how much it was insured for and the guy said 100.00. Maybe that's their bottom line cost on it.

Decided to start a separate thread here dedicated to the Sony Smart Watch 2 as the other thread was getting mixed up with the SBH52.
Just read over at droid-life that the Sony Smart Watch 2 is now available for only ~$170usd from Mobile fun. Pretty good price considering earlier rumors were it was going to be ~$250+. I put in my order from Kogan for ~$175 but I think they were being dodgy and selling a pre-order without advertising it. Just got an email from Kogan today saying my order has been delayed for another 5 days . Thinking of cancelling and buy from Mobile Fun instead.

Been using mine for about a week. I'm glad I didn't pay for it but as a freebie it's OK. Screen is quite poor quality (think late 90's colour screen phone). Emails don't display pictures & when viewing pictures through the slideshow app you only get a zoomed in view of the middle of the pic.
As I said. It's OK for free but I'd be annoyed if I paid £120-160 for it.

Not a super useful gadget...
Screen is disappointing indeed.
Battery is weaker than I would have thought, needs daily charge.
i like a smartwatch badly, sadly sony looks like bad option. i wish they would of stick with OLED instead of going with LCD ON A FREAKIN' watch
Screen choice was very smart imo, the "always on" nature of the time screen itself yet still with good battery life is great to have.
Yeah, you need to be able to actually see it outside, something AMOLED tends to have trouble with.
purchased the smartwatch 2 from mobilefun on tuesday and after "fraud" checks, i received an email on friday stating it was on backorder til the 23rd. this upset me as i paid for the expedited shipping, so i cancelled order and ordered it from newegg yesterday and it should be here on monday. lol
to sum it up, newegg > mobilefun.
Got mine from clove today. Decent not great. Biggest drawback is I cannot use it together with the sbh52

i'm still waiting for mine to be shipped by Kogan from HK. It better ship tomorrow as previously indicated else I'm not going to be happy! Can't wait to get it to play around with.
There's some more discussion over at the dedicated SmartWatch section here
I've also started up an accessory thread here as I managed to find some screen protectors and quite a few watch bands that would work on the SmartWatch 2.

My SW2 works fine together with the SBH52.
maybe there's a certain way you need to pair the devices or something?

I have to retract my statement, it started to work for me. i turned on the bluetooth on the sw2 and it was able to connect fine together with the sbh52. so all in all loving it

I was told it shipped , but it has not arrived yet ... I did just get an email
stating my SBH52 order is held up do to being sold out . This is upsetting
considering I pre-ordered it from there site & was given a ship date of OCT 2'nd
& now I'm being told I have to wait til the end of the month ...
