I once saw a thread for a MDA cover, it actually goes on the fone, the pictures they had showed that it was white. goes on like skin i beleive it was made of silicon. and i saw it on here once and i want to buy it now but i cant find the thread for it. does anyone know where i can find it? or know of something similar that works good? thank you
I got mine at pda-den.
Thanks =)
i found it. thanks. but quick question the one on here has a clear screen. does it work good??
screen
It is a polycarb or plexiglass flip. It's fine, just prone to scratching like all the others.
Isn't there a version without the flip?

not that I know of.
I actually bought that MDA case and really had a tough time making it stay on (just the back part).
It appears that the back part is too small... I actually ended up breaking the little "anchor" that is supposed to clip on by the spacebar. For a while I tried to just tape it on, but ended up giving up... the case is just sitting in a drawer in my desk now...
overall, I was pretty displeased with the fit of the case...
I have been showing mine off at the office and all the time someone is holding it, especially one handed, I just cringe. My two year old likes to hold it herself while she plays the games I downloaded for her so we are always sitting and I have a pillow on her lap to rest it on. Man! I can't wait for decent cases to become available for this thing.
I hold this thing like a baby when someone else holda it I stand there and watch them carefully I'm not letting this thing hit the ground
I'm looking to get a good case asap also. I had 2 close calls. one time it almost slipped holding it one handed. althoughi love the look of the aluminum back, it is very slippery. I usually try to always hold it with 2 hands. this thing is light as a feather compared to my ipad1 but being slippery makes me Leery of one hand use till I get a case.
had another major scare when my 16 month old daughter took the thick, heavy Comcast cable remote and banged it pretty hard against the screen. you know how lil kids like to bang things in their hand up n down. I was like WoooooooA! so glad this thing has gorilla glass. no scratches or anything from that. I think because its so thin and flat, its pretty much baby proof if they bang on screen with their hands/palms. my Ipad held up to alot of abuse also and I kept it mostly in the official apple case. I have the targus truss case also that I mostly use when traveling. it provides maximum protection but adds alot of bulk/ thickness. my Ipad survived daughter constantly banging on it, drops flat on the screen on hard surface, and drops on the corner of it on hard surface. it survived it all with no screen cracks or scratches on screen. I'm pretty confident the prime can even hold up to more abuse. I don't even think ipad1 had gorilla glass. I am looking for a good case though. I saw a nice one in accessories section of a leather one at amazon. its on sale for like only $11. there's a thread or link to it in that section of prime forum. I forgot the name of it case. looks good.

Yea, I know what you mean. When people are asking me questions about it I can tell that they are looking at me. But all along I am looking at it making sure it doesn't slip from their hands.
No course calls yet I'm thinking of getting an accidental warrenty though

My screens already lose so I need a replacement I'm scared if I drop it screen might become worse
I haven't dropped mine yet, but I took mine to work one day. My boss was talking about how she wants to buy the Ipad 3. I showed her mine and she asked to see it so I gave it to her. After looking at it, she sat it on the desk and the spun it so she could at it in landscape mode. I cringed when she did it but figured it would be fine because of the aluminum backing.
Come to find out yesterday when I looked at the back, there are about 4 small scuffs, two on each side of the logo, which I deducted probably came from my boss turning it around on the desk :'(. I guess the back isn't as tough as I thought. Luckily, I had already called game top 2 days after I bought it asking for an exchange because of screen issues. I just hope the replacement has the same build quality and screen as this one. Compared to my original transformer, the whites looked much more true on the Prime.
Dropped mine, but only from a 2 feet or so, but I tried to soften the blow with my toe. It cut it instead, haha, IT TASTED BLOOD. Anyway, careful, edges are quite sharp when falling ^_^
I did today, and look what happened

In my IT Shop that is called the "Technical Tap". Quite useful in some situations though it should be performed by a qualified technician!

I do that all the time to TF101 and the plastic has no scratch. Why Asus had to changed the back to aluminium? It causes only problems...
Anyone have the dock on the og transformer and know if it hold up well? I just have a bad feeling about it holding up before it gets so loose it just flops forward or backward with no pressure.
I pre-ordered the original Transformer and dock and have used it daily since. It spends most of its time in the dock except for weekends when it's in and out several times as I use it for different purposes in different places. The latch and hinge are still as solid as ever. It's very well designed. That said, I am gentle with it as I am with all of my high-tech gadgets. I never allow anyone else to use or even touch it. I have two Archos and one no-name tablet for other family member to mess with. I am assuming the Prime has been engineered every bit as well.
Bye.

My dock hinge appears to be loose right now. When I touch the top of the tablet and move it back and forth, there's currently 3/4" of play. I take it that's not normal?

I cant say if its normal or not, but mine is sturdy as ever. I have had my dock about a month now, but as the previous poster stated i too treat mine gently.
I'm not that guy to get on someone's thread and "flame" them (i think that's what ya'll call it) but seriously guys, this is the best tablet out right now, and will be for a while, it blows the ipad 2 away and it's not even close, i think along with sections for applications and themes, accessories, and development we need a section for people who just want to worry and complane about stuff.

Great post! Thanks for the insight.
I exchanged my dock today (well, more like I returned it at Best Buy because I was on the last day of my return window) and purchased a new one.
There's absolutely no play in the hinge like there was on the last one. The last one was driving me insane. The smallest movement would cause the screen to swing from or back about 1" in distance (the top of the screen of course).
The keys, however, feel more stiff and I appear to have a hard time typing on it (a lot of keys aren't registering because I'm not pressing them exactly in the middle) but I'll keep it nevertheless. I'm sure once they're broken in, it should be better.
Just came across this guide today because my dock hinge was loose again (I'm on my 2nd dock with the same problem): http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...ns/21784-howto-solve-floppy-dock-problem.html
I only performed the "Clamp Fix" and ran into the 2 loose screws referred to in the article. My dock hinge is now like it was when I first purchased it.
Glad I came upon this thread. I bought the Infinity dock for my TF700 on Saturday and by today, any touch on the screen, even gentle, results in a bounce of about 1/2" to 3/4". I remember it being solid when I bought it.
Going to take it back this weekend.

So I finally manage to track down a Keyboard dock at a Best Buy that is a 30 mile round trip. Order it online last night around 2200. I get an email this morning around noon time that they finally have it ready for pick up. They open at 10am. So it takes 2 hours to pull it off the shelf??
Drive out there, stand in line for 20 minutes. Finally get to counter, they can't locate it. Another 10 minutes. Finally get it.
Come home, open it up. Admire the beauty... go to slide it in to the tablet. It won't go. The "locking mechanism" is stuck to LOCKED.
Get out a screwdriver, pop the lock. The tablet still won't go in. Something else is wrong. Something must be bent???
I'm not making that round trip again. I'll return it to the one closer that doesn't have any docks in stock and just wait it out.
Come on ASUS.. do you have ANY Q.A. people checking this stuff???

Ummm.. of course I did.. come on.... You think I'm THAT bad???
/goes and removes tabs off of tablet/
kidding... but that would have been funny.
I went out to the shed and bent the metal "tabs" to where they were supposed to be. They weren't lining up with the holes in the tablet. Got the tablet to slide into the dock finally. But I have no mouse cursor / touchpad function.
Come on!!!!!!
My keyboard dock is finally coming after 2 months of being backordered. I am so excited.
What's a good way of removing the rubber plugs without damaging the tablet? They are really in there.
I just used a knife to pop them out.. they weren't in there that bad.

I'm sure you tried it but you know that there is a key on the keyboard to disable mouse cursor / touchpad function.
Reboot and it works. Forgot to mention it, sorry
OP you can now admit you did not know about the rubber plugs and you did not know about the disable keypad key...lol. Sorry had to . I am just busting you 100%. Very happy that you got it working

This is totally true, more obvious than Adam Sandler movies
And yeah I am also glad that rubber plugs got removed and touchpad lock was turned off!
Man this thread had me grinning the whole time...
Enjoy all. I probably deserve it. LoL
It was funny now that I think about it. But seriously, I had to bend the metal tabs in the dock to get them to line up. Honest abe.
Before I used my dock, I'm not going to lie...I YouTube'd a video on the dock to make sure those rubber stoppers on the bottom of the prime actually were removeable before I attempted to remove them as they seem pretty stubborn. Granted it worked like a charm but I ALMOST had my blond moment...

question
ok so i feel completely stupid posting this but...got my keyboard dock today and it locks on/works but i noticed the locking mechanism doesnt slide all the way to right when it clicks in, it only goes halfway...not sure if its supposed to or what. I do have a skinomi skin on it but got the dock compatible version.

I was wondering for anyone that have the black version of this case, does the flaps have magnets in them? It's listed for the other colors but not for the black. I found this kind of strange so I emailed them and it seems like they take forever to respond. So if anyone have this case, could you please comment? Thank you.
P.S. I'll also take recommendations for similar cases.

I don;t have this case, but many similar cases have magnetic closures. Why do you care?
A colleague of mine has the iPad version of this case, it's not bad for $10. I just ordered the Tab 2 7" version - I'll post my thoughts once received...

This has to be the dumbest question ever "Why do you care?". The guy is obviously asking so that he can make a smart purchase than going in blind and come to find out its not what he wanted and then having to return the item back. If you don't have any helpful advise to give why even comment? The nerve of some people!

The case for my GTab 2 7" arrived yesterday. I'm used to rockin the tab "naked" but I'm liking the case. Nice and thin, magnets keep it closed nicely, all ports/buttons are available (including IR). Two little things... 1) It has a little loop for a pen or stylus which is annoying, I'll cut it off, and 2) the case doesn't lie perfectly flat against the tab in the area of the Samsung logo on the font of the tab, directly underneath the home/back buttons. A little annoying because when attempting to hit one of the buttons you first contact the case which is sticking up a bit.

Im a jerk? Come on man, think about your answer. If anything you came off being rude. You cant assume that all of these case with flaps have magnets as i have seen some with velcro and why tell the dude why does he care when he's asking for a reason. SMDH....
It took them days to reply but they finally gave me an answer. They say that it doesnt come with magnets so i bought a similar one but there's no cutout for the charging port(but in their pictures it did). Oh well and thank you for all the responses, much appreciated.
P.S. I care if they have magnets or not because it's more secure when my tablet drops than having the front part flap around on it's way down.

Where exactly, underneath the little flaps that are sticking up, or between the back of the tablet and the case?

I took a picture of it for you not sure if that helps. The white you see by my finger is the paper i push into that spot. I believe it's the little flaps your talking about.
Just to add, or help someone else, I have this case. I like it for the price, and it leaves the face open.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Slim-...es_Covers_Keyboard_Folios&hash=item2a25d206a5
It leaves all the ports and camera unobstructed. It's good for watching, but it is not "locked" into position, so tapping too hard on the screen will cause it to collapse flat. Only drawback.
