where to get the usb data cable for cheap. - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

i cannot believe how expensive this transformer data cable are. Only need a spare usb cable without the charger but everywhere it seems to overprice. Where are you guys getting it from?

What is overpriced to you? Without that info, others won't know if they should post their price. I got one off eBay for $12. But, only because I bought the charger with all power adapters from same person at same time for too much money

i search and the $12 i have found all are aftermark brands. You can buy a ipad cable for $3 why are this cables for asus transformer so expensive. Even if it is for transformer 1 since they are basically same cable.

Because there are millions more people with any idevice than Transformer/Transformer Prime devices. Simple economics really, they can sell them for less as they are made in higher quantities which makes their production cheaper, and they'll sell way more of them.

While that is how economics works when referring to production costs, I doubt that is the real reason. There is truth no doubt but the difference in cost is not that great. I think it is more of there is less demand so there are less people making them, so there is less competition and they can get away with charging more.
I don't know why I am arguing with you. It is just semantics. Anyway, I find it annoying.

The real reason that iPad wires are so much cheaper than Transformer Prime wires is that a lot more companies make 3rd party iPad cables.
If you are in competition with a dozen other vendors of the same product, you drop the price to stay competitive and if enough companies are making a given product eventually the price drops to just above manufacturing cost.
Only one other company (that I can find) is making 3rd party Transformer cables, so as long as they price themselves lower than Asus's first-party cable they have no real pressure to drop their price lower.

I bought a complete TF101 charger (also compatible with TF201) for 30 from Office Depot.
I figured I can always use an extra USB charger along with the data cable.

I'm surprised, not even one vote for Monoprice.com?
It's the only website I ever go to for anything cable related.

Monoprice is great but I did not find anything that you could tell was definitely the right one.

Does anyone know if the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 cables are compatible?
They look the same as the Asus cables in photos and they both seem to be based of of the PDMI standard. If the Galaxy Tab cables work, those are available from more locations and at more reasonable prices.

Are you looking for just a regular USB/micro-USB cable? I don't see why not.
I have plenty lying around, I can double check if you need anything in particular if you'd like.

What i am currently using is a USB 3.0 extension cable i got off Amazon for 6 or 7 bucks if i recall correctly (bought i way back in my tf101 days). Plug one end into the charging block, plug the tfp cable into the other end. Mine snaps in snuggly and needs some force to disconnect (if you r worried about that sort of thing). Works perfectly.

Thanks for doing this. If you've never ordered from DealExtreme before, it takes a long, L O N G time for items to arrive. Close to 1 month is not all that uncommon. They will show up, but good gravy, they are darned slow.

Transformer Charger on the ASUS eStore Price Increased

The charger went on sale yesterday for $29.99....went out of stock pretty quickly....
now ASUS is charging $39.99 for the charger...wth...
http://us.estore.asus.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=3613
I really hope some 3rd party chargers come out soon...i need one since i lost the power plug part of the charger and havent been able to charge it...
the TF is relatively cheep for what it is, but is Asus thinking of making bank with accessories?
$150 for dock, somewhat reasoable, but still a bit overpriced.
$40 for cheap (as in weak) portfolio case
$40 for cable?!?!?!
i don't like where this is going.

I disagree on this note.
the dock is pretty damn cheap for what it is. 150 dollars, (I paid 123 shipped through tigerdirect) and its a keyboard, USB ports, SD card slot, and the biggest point here, a HUGE BATTTERY. Think of how much something like this would cost if it were just a battery. People love to charge premium for batteries.
For the accessories, everyone knows tat they are gonna be expensive. Look at Apples accessories. They set the standard for expenive ass items.
That being said, the charger price is wicked expensive. 24.99 would be a fair price from a nmanufacturer.
One bad thing about the charger they are selling is that it doesn't look any different than the one that came with the Transformer to start with. And it's defiantly not worth 40$.

Ok I've been wanting to pinout the charge connector and measure the volts and amps on the charger. I'm going to start today. Stay tuned for a new thread.

$40 for a charger is kind of outragous when you stop to consider that one didn't ship with the dock.I'll be taking extra special care of my cable and charger till there are less expensive alternatives availble.

Some effort has already been done on this and it appears that the charger must be connected to the TF to actually supply voltage. AKA nothing when open circuit. Since charger is listed as 5V and 15V it is possible a sense pin in the connector lets the charger know what voltage to supply.

I don't believe anything other than the tablet/dock terminating pin on the cable is what triggers the charger to charge. Once I my 3.0 extension cable comes in I should be able to figure it out.

There's a couple of stores where I live in Canada, selling the dock for just under $130. I'm expecting Monoprice to eventually come out with a USB cable for the Transformer, which will cost under $10.

I posted a couple comments on ASUS' Facebook page. They deleted all of them claiming I "spammed" them by asking in two separate posts about the availability of chargers.
They magically "undeleted" my post and two different ASUS employees responded with boilerplate "we will check and have someone respond to you ". I never heard back from anyone. This was about two weeks ago.
So, does anyone have any updates? Why no third party chargers? I would think the market is huge. eBay is flooded with cases now, but no chargers.
now its $50 for the charger.. lol?
It is consider cheap. In Singapore, the charger cost S$50 and the cable cost S$20.
I paid for the charger as it is very fragile, used less than a month, it is broken.
I posted a couple items on FB. Let's see whether they get a response.

LOL. Since they are not selling it yet, I think any price is likely wrong.
I really like the estore, because they are a direct parts supplier for little guys. We do not have to be resellers nor repair shops.
In retail USA shops and on eBay we can buy AC Adapters now. I am starting to see these chargers distributed in *many* more places as the accessory line catches up.
In my opinion, I cut the estore slack because of the *service* it provides across a broad ASUS line.

official international prongs/plugs

As you might have noticed, one can remove the prongs from the official asus charger (kind of like with the apple one).
The question is: where can u get these prongs? Adapters do work fine but it would be so much sleeker just to replace the prongs whe u leave the country!
Have you seen them anywhere? I just cant find them!
Nearly all of my electronics now come with the changeable plug prong thing. Each one is a different mount design. I am certain they are manufacture specific and not easy to get a hold of.
Thats what i figured. I'm gonna contact asus wether they sell them

Would be interested in knowing what they say. I have seen a travel kit, a charger with all different prongs. Price is something like €40 which is a bit steep (unless you need an extra charger). I have plug adapters but I too think it would be soo much smarter to just exchange the prong before leaving.
The adapter set can be found here:

[Q] Lost charger, won't pay $50 for plastic, cheap ones have bad reviews?

Anyone know where I can get a WORKING charger for the Transformer Prime that isn't $50?
Amazon has several, but the ones that are fairly priced have reviews saying that the charger disrupts the device, opens and closes apps, ruins the touchscreen, etc. If it's having problems like THAT, then something really bad is happening.
I've checked Amazon, I've checked Monoprice, and in many places even Asus's own stock charger is out of stock.
Is there anywhere to buy a Transformer Prime wall charger that's reliable and that isn't over $25 (even that is stupid expensive for some plastic and metal).
I bought a $6 cigarette one off ebay and have used it 3 times with no difficulties... other than loosing root! J/K I think if you look hard enough you will find someone who will say something bad about anything. Remember, people will take to the internet to complain far faster than they will to praise. Consider that while reading reviews.

Yes, that's true, but when you have an amazon page where a product has two stars and fifty votes, with almost every review citing that the charger interfere's with the device's power and causes it to act frantically by opening and closing apps at random, then you know there's a problem.
Also, I've had the (dis?)pleasure of owning a Nexus 7, a device where you're more likely to have problems than not. So I understand what it's like when a device simply doesn't work or has issues.

Interesting, in the pictures on that item there are "slots" in the end for the prongs to fold up?! Does anyone elses "original" prime charger have folding prongs?
I have bought many "original" "oem" items from ebay only to find they were not. They worked ok so I kept them. Once I bought a motorola slvr "OEM" replacement battery that even had the motorola hologram on it. The way you could tell it was fake was that the hologram had no depth. There was only one layer to it.

Best way to get dk30 dock and sbh52

As a previous xperia Z owner, I could not live without the dk26 dock, unflapping the phone every time didn't feel right.
That being said, the dock for the zu is called dk30. I cannot find a way to get one of these in north america at the moment. Lets put our heads together and post whatever we can about this dock and the elusive sbh-52 bluetooth receiver.
I really want that sbh-52 bluetooth receiver as a business person I am going to keep my large phone in my bag most of the time. So I would like to carry that small receiver in my pockets to answer calls with. Let's face it, my head is average sized and putting that phone up to my head does look quite silly!
So do i. Why the Sony won't launch both accessories together with z ultra? Now when I answer the phone so attractive to other people look at me like the Mr bean.

Maybe is the same seller but you can get on Ebay also
i can't wait til the Bluetooth handset is release, looks like that going to be a must have accessory.
I saw in another youtube video that someone had a magnetic power connector. Does anyone know what that one is called and where to buy it?
It would be just as easy to pop that on then to put in dock. Dock will be great for my office and magnet for my nightstand.

It's DX (formerly known as Deal Extreme), and it's 100% "fake". Still, i have ordered from them a couple of times in the past, and i haven't had any trouble with "their" products. They are shipping out from Hong Kong for free, so expect it to be slow (It takes 10-14 days for me in Europe), but my bet would be 5-7 days for the US (I assume they're going in the other direction )

So the dock itself is just effectively a stand and you have to connect the EC21 into the dock to actually charge the device?
Or do you get a complete charging dock and a separate magnetic charging cable, so that you could leave one at work and the other at home?
I suspect its the first option but just checking

Go to ebay and type "Samsung genuine note 3 charger". Narrow the search field to Buy Now and Least to Greatest.
Now if you're going to come back and say "hey, all those are from China and HK"! My response is going to be, what part of our device isnt? So dont go expecting one from a US seller because we all know where they got their from and price jacked it.

Go to ebay and type "Samsung genuine note 3 charger". Narrow the search field to Buy Now and Least to Greatest.
Now if you're going to come back and say "hey, all those are from China and HK"! My response is going to be, what part of our device isnt? So dont go expecting one from a US seller because we all know where they got their from and price jacked it.

Lol @ cheap ass. I spend less time and money buying genuine than I do with something stamped genuine.

How do you know, I mean REALLY know what you have is genuine? Are you using CORE or comparing disassembly or using o-scopes?
Isn't yours "stamped" like everyone else's?
I have this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A9PO5AM/ref=oh_details_o09_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I bought it when I bought the samsung QI wirelss charger pad a while back. The pad needs a 2 amp charger. The build quality is pretty good. I wanted one that the cable doesn't come off because my wife steals all my USB cables. I've been happy with it. I use it all the time for my Note 3, 2013 Nexus 7 and the QI pad when I have the time to lay my tablet down and not use it while its charging.

Because since I stopped buying "genuine" from eBay, amazon or the like I haven't had to buy more chargers to replace "genuine". All the chargers I've received with my phones or I have bought from the OEM itself are still going strong. The only charger I would trust not bought from a big known corporate OEM or similar is phi hong of which the original nexus one and galaxy nexus came with by the way. My phi hong nexus one charger is still going strong. Phi hong makes good power supplies also. Ive also researched what you get when you buy fleabay. Dirty unreliable power that 9 times out of 10 isnt rated what it says on the sticker and if it does output what is says on the sticker you're getting a charger that probably wont last 3 months or might start a fire or burn out your phone or your battery. Buying from amazon or eBay is very high percentage you're buying disposable to save a buck or two and being a tree hugger I realized myself and other people were spending more going that route. Peace out.

Well, my Note 2 didn't come with a charger and I bought a "genuine" one off ebay. That was a year ago and I recent went to the Note 3. Now that charger I bought off ebay is still working fine. So either it's "genuine" as it was advertised or its a really close copy being it looks the exact opposite as the one that came with my Note 3.
So maybe, just maybe, there are genuine Samsung chargers on ebay.
