Maybe this is a hilarious question but you DID remove all of the Plugs from the bottom of the Prime before putting it on the dock?
Does the lock slider clicks into the most right position when sliding the Prime into the Dock holding?

Update I examined the connector on the tablet and it appears to not be seated right.. As I can see light coming from inside the tablet... It's seated crooked.. I knew it was something more so back to Newegg it goes for a replacement one..

Funny, because I couldn't figure out why my Prime wasn't fitting into the dock correctly. I didn't even catch that there were plugs the first time I looked at the bottom.

Mine fits into the dock so snug that it wouldn't even need the latch and it wouldn't move side to side. Definitely sounds like it is physically deformed.

Yep It sucks gonna have to pay shipping back!

Could you post pictures or a video?
This is really weird, since these parts are machine-made, if it wobbles left to right then it's not just one part that is incorrect, all the 'three' parts have to be loose that connect the tablet to the dock. I cannot imagine it at all.

Surely all the parts are ''machine-made'', and yet we still get problems with light bleed, dead pixels and the like.

Yeah I might take pics hell some guy posted a pic on IRC chat his prime was sent to him without the plastic separators for the pins on the female end of the 40 pin connector all that was their was the straight up copper it would have shorted and bent the pins if he had put his charger in it
But when I get home I will check compared to my other prime to see about this movement it could be the dock but I know for a fact that the charger also wiggles way more then my other one...

I do not know of any silicone cases that can remain totally in position when the tablet is attached to the docking station HOWEVER you can just release the silicone case from the bottom of the tablet and it then fits easily into the dock BUT remember that whilst on the dock the case is bent up at the back of the tablet a little.

I'm not quite sure if I understand the pictures well and how this really works ?
Is the Dock also protected by a silicone case or only the Tablet ?
Is it possible to have a retailer link or the manufacturer link for this product to have additional pictures, details and price ?
Thx

There's another piece for the dock. I didn't have it on, though. In fact, I just took the silicone off and put on carbon fiber skin. The silicone added probably 50 pounds to the overall weight.
It's the following skin.
http://www.overstock.com/Electronic...Soft-Gel-Case/6434147/product.html?cid=123620
Just measure very carefully and very very carefully cut out the bottom. Just use your imagination. Look at my pictures again. See how everything fits?
Arobase40 said:
Hmmm, I exercised my imagination pretty hard but couldn't find out the dock piece nor how the silicone gel skin can add "50 POUNDS" (22.68 kg) to the overall weight.
I was also searching on eBay, but couldn't find anything close to the product described on the OP...
The intention was good anyway.

You have a pretty crappy imagination
I think he used 2 modified skins from his link and modified both to fit the hinge and dock.
Also it looks like a decimal was misplaced lol. .50 lbs I could see.

Electric feeling

I've had my prime for 2 days but whilst charging it last night I needed to have a quick look on the web and as I gently touched the outside outside of the prime I could feel a very faint electric charge. As anyone else experienced this ?

That is strange, I can honestly say that I have never had this.

I had the same "problem" with my laptop, which had the same material with the Prime.
Saying that, my prime is also does the exact same thing.
Maybe both of our mains supplies are messed up and our electronics are not grounding, let me know if you get hit with 240V?

I have this on my Prime, but I have also had this on other electronic devices with aluminum faceplates or other components, such as certain stereo equipment. I wouldn't worry at all.
Yeah, they kinda made the charger ass backwards lol... I've gotta have my Asus logo upside down so I don't feel it. Tbh I think it felt kinda cool lol but something that's $500 shouldn't be doing that.

I got it as well. Just feels tiny vibrating, just like a rotating HDD.
I guess it's because the chassi is grounded and got a different potential than you.
Just checked and pcw near me have none in stock so I can't just exchange it. I would love to just be able to spend my £500 on a machine that does what it says without all the worry of getting a worst one than I already got.
Shocking with No GPS at all (I get 1 sat then drops off almost instantly), Discovered 2 more dead pixels so thats 4 in total, Only slight light bleed from 1 edge.
I love the performance and speed but am feeling like it's worth less than half a grand.

It does happen, most wont notice it as it just feels like a very very faint vibration.
When its plugged in, run your fingers over the metal kinda lightly, just brushing over it and youll feel a small vibration tingle... its normal apparently, just dont go in the bath with it

I'm sorry, what's that?
Maybe some pictures would help me understand? I don't know of what would be plastic and keep you from docking, do you mean your glass screen is starting to flex out along the bottom?
Oh! Do you mean the charge port on the Prime or the dock? If that's the case, then likely not. I think under all circumstances a broken charge port is most likely going to be considered Customer Induced Damage, but you never know until you try.

Wow, maybe it's just the angle but it looks like the entire body has a bend to it. Have you tried bending it back yourself? And is the actual charging port ok, it's just all the metal around it that's deformed?
I have no idea if that'll be covered or not, but if you stand your ground and put it down as fact that you have not mistreated your tablet and that the keyboard and charger are the only things that have been in contact with that area, it's a possibility they'll cover it under warranty. That is crazy bent up, it would honestly be a chore for me to even try and make that happen.
Sorry I'm not of much more help, good luck.
Actually you are right the tablet its Bent a little thanks anyway i guess i will my keyboard

That's wild. Yeah, I don't know how they'd handle that. It would be hard to say the dock bent the entire tablet in that way. Totally sucks, how is the screen, no light-bleed or undue pressure you can notice? Looks like someone might have tried testing its durability a little too much lol

I don't know how the dock would cause that though. Who all lives with you, who else would have access to your tablet? I mean, that almost looks like someone put it on the edge of a table then leaned on it or something: I can not see the dock making that dent.
Do me a favor, check that your dock has all its screws in the hinge. At one point I had problems docking, and almost started to get rough/forceful with it until I decided to look down in the hinge. Below my Prime was one of its screws that had come out and was keeping the tablet from sitting right: you could have had a screw come out, and as you were trying to push/twist/whatever you were hitting the screw in different spots?

Trifold Cover/Case compatible with the keyboard dock?

Does such a thing exist? I'm thinking of a trifold cover similar to the ipad that would allow the tablet to sit up on the table in two positions, and then when you wanted it docked it could do that as well...
Thanks!

They have a brown leather one on Amazon and of course the ones from China on ebay
I don't know, that link to the handheltitems product looks very clunky and doesn't trifold, so it only stands up *almost* vertically, and if you want to lean it back any, you can't because the back side just slides away...
I'm thinking literally just a trifold cover, not a case I guess, that attaches somehow like the ipad one does.

Id go with a trifold, and still might.. I had one with my KF but id really like something that includes the keyboard dock..
There is a very nice leather one at cellmacs.com
I cannot post links but if you go to their website and just search for TF300T you'll find it. Good quality, reasonably priced and free shipping.

I'm still leaning towards the one on the 3rd post.... it's still the best option IMO, and comes in carbon fiber leather! Come on June 18th!
I bought this one and I love it. All holes line up and it's nice to have it all folded up and protected. My only flaw is when I'm a lefty, when I use it vertically I have to turn the tablet upside down because when open it up like a book the power button is on the bottom left corner and the volume rocker is on the bottom of the unit on the left side. Other than that I love it

Thanks, that's the Poetic Leather Case. Do the button holes stick out when you are using the case as a portfolio without the keyboard?

Just wanted to drop in and give a recommendation on this case. It's keyboard compatible and holds shut with magnets. You can remove the dock pretty easily and it protects just as well without it.
I picked one up without any reviews, and I don't regret it. I think it's my perfect case!

+3 for the Poetic case.
As in I have bought 3 of them now, the first for myself and then 2 more as gifts. Incredible case. Can't recommend it highly enough.

On my second Note now. I exchanged the first one for a crack about an inch or two below the power button. The replacement has now developed a crack right at the power button.
So Samsung can say whatever they want about it not being a known issue - but it is an issue. Knock on wood ... my Note has never been dropped, I don't sit on it, and it's treated like it's a 5" piece of glass (which it is).
I got 3 cracks actually...one right on top of the speaker, one right where the power button is, and one right underneath the home button. Idk if these are really cosmetic flaws by Sammy...cos then again i ten to drop my phone all the time lol...Ofcourse it's always been in its folio leather wallet case so it shouldn't have hurt it that much.
