EXCELLENT article on building a charger for the Transformer
I am aware of three CAR chargers that will work for the PRIME

Wow, great job Done, a very complete list of accessories.
One thing though, in the case section you mentioned the PRIME is a little BIGGER than the Transformer??
really? From the picture that I've seen its a little taller but not as wide.

---

For stylus you should add the Adonit Jot. From my looking around on XDA it seems to be the unequivocal best of all styli.

why the "MUST be CLASS 10" ...
I can understand perhaps if you plan on using it for video capture
But, really?

---

you should take of the tf101 cases. they aren't the exact same size and buttons have changed

Well if this is the ULTIMATE list for transformer prime accessories then only max speed cards would make sense

Correct Why pay for a 1.4 GHZ Quad Core CPU and put in a Class 2 SD card to slow everything down?

---

Don't know if you wanted color variations but rooCase also offers their Dual-View Multi Angle Leather Folio Case for the Prime in Black and Magenta.
Black
Magenta
Very nice list btw

Because class 4 (and some class 2) are BETTER than a class 10 for random read/write tasks. Have a read for yourself here.
So,
Class 4 is "ultimate" for many general purpose uses.
Class 10 is "ultimate" for some tasks like video capture and playback (if the hardware can sustain the throughput).

Unless I missed a link, does this mean the only TF201 sleeve currently available is by Asus, and it's not yet available for purchase?

Did anyone checked this Case-Sleeve:
http://www.excaliberpc.com/609681/asus-eee-pad-slider-sl101.html#TabSpecification
can this be used for TF201 ?
