Hey everyone I was just looking at skins for the rear of the device from Skinomi and was wondering if the device would be too think to dock after applying them to the front and back, or just the back? Input?
Yes it is too thick to easily dock, and smudges the protector. Check out this thread for close up pics, and what I did to fix it.

Skinomi also emailed me saying they are working in a modified skin/screen combo specifically to address the docking issue.

I have a Zagg on my screen alone (not the back plate) and it fits fine. Just need to make sure it is secure on the screen first. I plan on getting a custom skin for the back plate and think loosening the torq screws at the bottom of the hinge might do the trick...

Okay thanks! Where did you find a Zagg kit? I looked online and havn't come across one. Did Skinomi give any hint as to how long it would be until the modified skin is ready?

Directly from their email to me:

They are available now. Go to Zagg.com and search for transformer prime. It shows up. Appeared late last week.

Skinomi now has the modified tablet/dock combo skins available. just ordered mine today
http://www.amazon.com/Skinomi-TechS...8?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1327116936&sr=1-8
There's the link for the tablet/dock combo.
I got the screen protector that wasn't made for the dock, and Skinomi sent me the free replacement yesterday I believe. Their lifetime replacement policy awesome. Highly recommend their products.
so the tablet/dock combo definitely doesn't affect the tab when being placed in the dock?
I'm planning to purchase one rather than actually getting a case.
I have a skinomi clear, it has worked great for me. no issues docking

Looks like Skinomi already has some skins and screen protectors for the Prime. I have the carbon fiber skin for the TF1 and love it. I'll probably get one for my Prime as well.

Has anyone tried the dry tech one? I'm a Steinheil fan. I've tried Skinomi's wet one and hated it just as much as all the wet application ones I've tried.
I don't want to wait for Steinheil though. I want one before my Prime comes. So Skinomi looks like my only choice.

I'm also curious about the drytech version as well. And as far as Steinheil is concerned, I contacted them a couple of days ago about Prime protectors. They replied they had no current plans to produce them.
I ordered one of the wet kits, but the dry tech is intriguing, if anyone had any info on them that would be great.
I ordered a clear front and back... Got charged but never got an email confirmation hopefully they will show up! Got 25% off to with a coupon code! XD

On their site you can't see proper image, all images are so small. Why manufacturer can't show his product in High quality picture, there are so shy... And I'm not buying something I can't see clearly what it is...
What kind of Skin is this one:

This skin isn't perfect fit as you can see on borders, are all skins like that ?
Yeah they can't cut it perfect that's the carbon fiber one! I just installed that in my moms phone don't worry about the space at all! But you might wanna get clear cuz the speaker cut out will look funny
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
did anyone get a skinomi skin for the prime yet? What does the cutout for the speakers look like. I'm thinking about getting the dark wood one, but if its just a square cut out, i'll go for clear.
Have not received them yet...! I emailed support and they said it got lost in the Post Office but I think they haven't shipped it yet! I have a tracking number but it has not been dropped off at the office yet... I wouldn't expect it till way after the prime comes out!
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
I think it might be possible that they dont even have them made yet, and is only advertising that they have it. Skinomi is the only company that is selling one for the prime and the fact that nobody received theirs yet (shipping problems, no emails, etc) is a little fishy.

Just grabbed a Skinomi TechSkin screen protector for $15 on Amazon. Opted for the normal TechSkin over the DryTech after speaking with their Customer Service and verifying that the TechSkin feels more like a glass surface, aka no drag or friction.
Going to use this until the SGP Ultra Optic protector is released for the Prime. Until then, the Skinomi was cheap enough to hold me over.

They told me the same thing, and said they were going to ship a 2nd one, that if i got both just keep them. I wanted it here before the Prime so that I have protection from day one. I plan on using this at work, under more harsh conditions than most of them will ever see.

Yeah there has to be that's why I went with clear even cases will need to have that cutout so you can hear!
An update from their customer service representatives.
They said the skins would ship closer to the date of release of the tablet... When I do not know..
I think this means by like January...
As they will need to get the tablet it and take dimensions then cut the skins!
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
anyone get a status update on their order? i have got nothing from them and now contacting support
I have done a dry-tech install to my TF101. My advice - don't. Now, Skinomi is a great company and their customer service is wonderful. However, the dry install screen protector is a nightmare, and I have lots of experience in installing screen protectors on phones and tablets. You can actually wet-install the dry-tech version. After trying the dry version, i ripped it off and used the wet install technique. The wet result is a thousand times better. As I said, I've installed many pristine bubble-free screen protectors and am very good at it. However the dry version is so sticky you cannot get a smooth application. It's impossible to get bubbles out or squeegee out any imperfections. Maybe someone else got a dry-tech install to work, but I never did. Wet apply is excellent and perfect.
Update they gave me a 10 dollar discount! Off my already 25% off so I got the front and back for 12 dollars!
They said asus made a last minute redesign and they do not know when they will ship probably closer to January!

how is installing a dry skin? my order comes with a dry skin and wet screen

I almost ordered this, even though I have no idea when I'll actually get a prime, but Amazon has a few of the oddly-named 'Sleeve Cases" available. Here's the grey:

I'm not ordering on sheer principle, but some of you folks actually have the tablet, so... Have at it.
Awesome! Got one. Hopefully my wife actually bought me the Prime for xmas.
Got one here, too. Thanks!
Other colors available too. Got mine in black. Search TF201 sleeve.
Sweet, just ordered mine.

That's exactly what I would like to know. I ordered mine but I'm dying to know if they stick or not.
I'm guessing we'll find out tomorrow when some of us will get it delivered.
How is that case? It looks cheap for $40.00
It has been said they do not. the stiff cover causing them to stay close to the tablet
Haven't been paying attention to the accessories section have you???
I got one... will be here tomorrow... ETA on my Prime: Jan. 9th
At least I'll have something to look at till then, and think about what it will look like on my future tablet.
purchased yesterday, chose free shipping and looks like it went out today and will be here friday!!!
I want to get one, but I want to use my $10 credit on it. Come on Amazon.
The cover has a hinge on it which keeps it closed. It snaps into the dock connectors then opens and closes similar to a laptop lid. I saw it on one of the reviews, but I have looked at so many videos I can't remember which one it was, but the guy liked it. I wonder how strong it is though.
Any concern that this sleeve doesn't cover the back side?

I ordered this one as well. Hoping that it and the tablet both arrive on the 5th.
This my Targas case I bought from best buy yesterday for $19.99. Really good quality and nice padding inside to protect my prime and keep it scratch free. This will do until I find a real case that fits around the prime itself. This is more like a travel case but it'll do for now. I posted pix of the inside of it also so you can see the padding.

Got this from five below. It is a network case the the prime fits in perfectly. The 2 Styrofoam pieces aren't supposed to be there. I left the original one and took another one and I puts the prime between the 2 pieces. Works well

I just ordered this Poetic Case - I prefer a case that doesn't cover the front bezel. Plus it bends in such a way that I can still use it with the dock. I'll probably pick up a cheap sleeve for the dock.

I hope it fits correctly. The name is suspiciously over specific.
It should arrive any day now, I'll let you all know how it fits.
I also ordered Poetic(TM) StandBook Stand Leather Case with Angle Adjustable for Asus Eee Pad Prime TF201 Black. My order says estimated delivery Jan 17-20. Maybe they don't really have them in stock.
I noticed that it says "Processing takes an additional 4 to 5 days" on the Poetic Case page.
I placed my order on the first. It doesn't show as shipped yet, but my delivery estimate says January 11-13.

I am waiting for a case for both the dock and tablet also.
i went out and bought a 10.2 netbook case from HP @ BB for $15
works well enough, but not quite what i really want though, this is to just save me until some manufactures get off their butts and produce something for us....

I tried to be really careful with my Prime so I initially decided to just use a sleeve case and otherwise have it 'naked'. However, after about 10 days I started to notice a few minor scratches on the back plate as well as on the supposedly unscratchable Gorilla Glass. Majorly pissed, especially since I has been trying to be so careful. I now have the Prime and dock shrink wrapped in Skinomi. Fortunately the Skinomi screen protector hides the few little marks on the screen well.
For all my devices, I put an Invisible shield cover from zagg on them. Can usually get a good deal using a coupon from retailmenot (I believe I got $10 off mine for the prime).

Anyone having issues with the bumpers on the docking station? I just notched that the bumper below the touchpad on my dock is missing.
Mine is still there but yeah, you got to watch out. I think they are just glued on. You should find something to put there as a replacement otherwise the dock might start rubbing against your screen.
