TFP? Check. Lego Dock? Check. - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

What do I do when I'm supposed to be studying for midterms?
Build a Lego stand for my prime.
Yes I know she's dirty, it happened during the design process
This is the initial build, Some ideas would be great to make it better
I'm thinking about making the bottom holder retractable to hold it at different angles when I have some more free time.

Winning! I'll have to break out my gf"s 6 year holds legos tomorrow ha aha. I'll post a good one I did in a sec with a metal hanger.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU can I get some instruction? LOoks DAAAAM cool.

That is freaking awesome.

Just dip that dock in a vat of glue and you got yourself a permanent dock

Hmm good idea, plasti-dip perhaps?

Transformer Prime Lego dock build off!? Who can create the best? Hahaha, perhaps this forum could use something like that to bring some more positive thoughts.

Lol nice. Might want to get some padding where it is touching the tablet though. That aluminium back is pretty soft so you might end up scratching it.

I got a ishield for the galaxy tab that fit pretty nicely on the back. doesnt cover the far edges but the back where it would touch the table or anything else is totally covered and the camera hole fits perfectly where the flash is on the prime.
its not perfect but it works well for me, now i dont have to worry about scratches on the back of my prime and i got the ishield for a discount because its not a brand new tablet

my first thought exactly!

Haha, I'm gonna go to lowes tommorow and see if I can find some plasti-dip im thinking about making the lower part retractable to adjust the angle.
Any other ideas?

I think I just crapped my pants... that is awesome. Can't believe I didn't think of that. I'm gonna have to build myself a star wars themed dock now

luckily I've been working on sorting my sons THOUSANDS of legos so they are all laid out and ready to go. The only question is which mini figs should be incorporated.....

The case for the TF201 works pretty well for it...the dimensions of the two pads are exactly the same with the exception of 0.1" on the thickness. Mine arrived yesterday. Works well and looks good. The microphone opening on the case is just a bit off and the strap that holds the back of the keyboard down gets in the way of the charger, but it's nothing I can't work with.

i bout a tf2001 manvex case for the tf300t and it doesn't fit correctly.
Same exact case available now at Amazon
I purchased an identical case here: http://www.amazon.com/Leather-Docki...sformer/dp/tech-data/B007HKIUJY/ref=de_a_smtd
It was a good deal for the money and I couldn't find any other case like it. That said, there were some things I had issues with. Check out my amazon review on it (it's the long one).
is this gonna fit to asus tf 300 http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Multi-An...PH90/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1337455681&sr=8-5

Asus Gumdrop Case

Does anyone have any opinions on this case? I have some extra money and want to buy it. I do have a Zagg screen protector on my tab already and I'm worried it might cause problems because the Gumdrop comes with a screen saver.

Buy it...it's awesome. You can remove the case's screen saver (WITHOUT CUTTING--it's a pop in framed screen protector) and use your own. Just fyi, it totally changes the feel of the tab. It goes from sexy sleek technology, to chunky heavy duty. It will feel like you could throw the transformer out the window of a moving vehicle and it would survive!

Thanks I will definitely buy it when I get more money, I just bought a 32Gb Class 10 micro SD card so I don't have enough. But if I do use my own screen protector do I lose anything on the tablet like the lining around it?

That word makes me a tad uncomfortable, I'm actually really interested in the case, but if I'm gonna spend $50 on a case, it better take a shotgun slug and still boot up! (Ok, maybe I'm exaggerating, but how's the actual defence rating on it?)

Diztronic case I really like it but...

The lip all the way around isn't quite right. By this I mean stuff gets stuck in it and I have to remove it to clean the crevices.
Anyone have a better case than the Diztronic they recommend?
I like protection but hate bulk.

Trojan? But seriously, without that lint/crud catching lip around it, you'd scratch your screen when you set the phone face down. It's a trade off I'm willing to deal with, I suppose.

I love my cruzerlite with the android logo on the back. It's super svelt and you can see the notification light on the power button. I got the smokey gray one. Perfect fit, feels great, no problems in/out of pocket, good price ($15 range).

Thanks I'll take a look at the cruzerlite, I've been meaning to.
I've had my eye on the cruzerlite one too but I tried a cheapo hard case first (which is ok but I'm not in love with it). I will have to try it out based on your recommendation!
I have the red cruzerlite and really like it. Fits nice and tight all cutouts are good and line up nicely.

I've got both case and I find the Diztronic to fit much, much better and just is of much better quality. The Cruzerlite does fell much slimmer, though it seems to have a bit of sag on the top & bottom edges and the sides seem to give more if brushed against when swiping & such.

Thanks Janky. I just ordered 3 and I'm excited as hell to get them. Teal, Clear, and Smoke.
To anyone who wants to/hasn't ordered these Cruzerlite cases, Amazon has them as their on sale price ($12.90) in addition to buying 2 and getting 1 free with another addition of free shipping (5-8 business days though...).

I was so excited to get the clear one, but the damn thing leaves air pockets on the back and makes it look hideous instead of showing off its beauty, I was pretty disappointed with it ha
Its because of the case material and our phone being glass. Its just sticking is all. How often do you look at the back of your phone?
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
I got the diztronic just to hold me over until I found one I actually wanted but when I got it I realized I actually really like it. Fits like a glove and I can hardly tell its on from the front. Plus I like the soft tpu feel.
I just got my Diztronic in today, loving how slim it is, and I doubt the TPU will break in half on the weak part just from plugging/unplugging the charger like the surround case I had.
That said, I'm not looking forward to finding out what happens when my clumsy *** lets it slip out of my hands...

I have almost every color because I absolutely love the Cruzerlite cases & this way I can switch out to whatever color strikes me at the moment. I find the ribbing along the side to be a fantastic perk because this enables grasping the phone much easier plus the cases just look awesome.
Meant to add that I also have the Diztronic case & also like that one quite well.

The back of this phone does look really nice. Until a spec of dust drops on it from 1/2 inch and it shatters or you go outside and its 2 degrees colder then it was in your house and it splinters like a spiderweb.

You'd be better off carrying some Ziplock bags, you can place answer calls through them, unlike the plastic storage box. I just tested my Note 3 with a freezer bag; the touch screen worked fine and the call quality was great.

Good point, many of us give the phone too much of our attention, especially when it takes our attention away from the friends & family we are with.
Keys stored with phone, though? YIKES!

So what section in home depot did you get this from? This would be awesome for my drunken trips floating the river. I always worried about the plastic bag method (although vac - bags work better) being torn by the ice in the cooler.

Hasn't been an issue for me, but I don't game on my phone so it's never pushed hard. Only thing about this case I don't like is how slick it is. I'm going to spray it with some flex seal rubber in a can for some extra grip lol.
This case is nice - only complaint, is is very slick, it will slide off tables very easily. I'll try adding stickers or something to it.
