[Q] Dock bumper missing below touchpad! - Asus Eee Pad Transformer 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.

Good point. I have already contacted ASUS to see if they can just ship me a couple replacement bumpers. If not then back to Amazon it will go.

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 can't post links yet, but I ordered one of these from Amazon:
VERTEKS Asus Eee Pad Transformer PRIME TF201 10.1-Inch Android Tablet Wi-Fi Multi-Angle Slim-Fit Leather Folio Case Cover (Black)
Looks to be a slimmer fit than some of the others.
Looks good. Nice touch with android logo. Vry creative and saved you money.

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.
Yep, I ordered the same one for the same reasons.

Let us know how you like it when you actually get it.
I ordered this VanGoddy case:
http://www.vangoddycase.com/Weather...froogle&utm_medium=organic&utm_source=froogle
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.

so you need 1 case and 1 sleeve
wow, no ones getting that giant case with the extra removable piece for the keyboard I was wondering if it was worth it or not
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....

Does a skin stop the Prime from being able to dock?

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.

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

Where is the option for melt wax around it then plaster and put it in a time capsule? this is what I did with mine this thing is an amazing piece of history.
I bought a moko case for now. The case is 10 bucks until something better comes. It leaves my hands smelling like chemicals.

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).

1) Skinomi full-body clear skin (tablet and dock) protection
2) sleeve for easy use sitting around the house (given to me by a friend with an og tf - ports don't match but when we had no other options it worked and continues to be fine)
3) neoprene case for soft protection if/when I carry in around (given to me by a friend that had two)
3) case logic hard shell case that holds both tablet and dock and works very well as a mini-desk - perfect to travel with (if I ever travel , and when I want a mini lap-desk)
4) minisuit rotating case will be delivered today - finally a tf201 specific case and I'll be able to remove the tablet from the viewing case and hold it on it's own in a protected

[Q] Smart Cover on TF300

Does the origami-like Smart Cover from Asus for the Transformer Prime works/fits on the Transformer 300? The dimensions of the two tablets are almost the same, so I think it will work... Can anyone confirm this?
interesting cover never seen it before. seem out of stock at amazon and others. do they still make it anymore?

I buyed one on Amazon Germany...
The smart cover fit on the screen an you can put it in the Dock connectors on the Tablet, but it doesnt hold solid on the right Dock connector, so its very easy to pull the cover out of the Connectors. On a Youtube Video with the Transformer prime the Guy hold the Smart Cover and the Tablet hangs on this. With the one i had, the tablet falls down.
In don't know if the Problem was on the Smart Cover or the connectors on the Tablet.
Anybody using this? I seen it at my local Office Depot, and it did fit the TF300T, but I wasn't quite sure about using it until I seen some reviews.
I purchased the cover only to return it. Only 1 hinge would stay connected as mentioned in other posts. I returned it and am now waiting for a new case I purchased on Amazon.

Docks on sale at Best Buy

I just picked up a TF700 dock at Best Buy for $99+tax. I've been usin it a couple days and I don't see any problems. Apparently the TF700 and TF201 docks are almost identical. I was even able to put on my carbon fiber sticker/protector thing all on it. My actual tablet has a screen protector on the front and the carbon fiber sticker stuff on the back and it still fits into the **** connector no problem.

I bought the "tf700 dock" off amazon, correct SKU and all, and it turned out to be a rebadged TF201 dock with the battery balance issues (transformer tips over because the base isnt heavy enough.
Wasnt too happy about that. Confirm that this is the true TF700 dock?
AFIK the TF201 dock has a higher capacity battery than the TF700 dock, otherwise they are pretty much the same. Is the TF700 dock heavier?

Well I ordered a dock and the guy on eBay sent me some police radar guns instead, so I have to ship them back to him and he will send me the dock free (he said he will refund it and ship the dock)
So I went to best buy to buy the dock instead of waiting for him, my store didn't have them on sale so I had to order it for store pickup to get the price. I found it weird but whatever.
I really hope this works with the TF201... I don't get the tablet until tomorrow

I'd keep the police radar guns, those will be worth more than a keyboard, I'd sell it but that's just me...
