it says usually ships in 2-5 weeks... does that mean its backorder ?
To my knowledge, Otterbox didn't even have inventory yet. So, the 2-5 weeks is probably based on delivery estimate once inventory is established.

I had finally settled on the rooCase Slim-Fit Folio through Amazon (via PC Micro Store) as seen here:
http://www.amazon.com/rooCASE-Slim-Fit-Adjustable-Transformer-10-1-Inch/dp/B0058DLAA8/ref=pd_cp_e_3
Originally listed as available on July 18th, I ordered it last week in hopes of having it by Friday to take on vacation (and paid for expedited shipping as well). However I noticed today that the "available" date had been bumped to July 20th, and I hadn't received any shipping notices, so I fired off an email to check things out.
Unfortunately the case is now delayed until July 26th, which is when "they" will receive their shipment, and then start shipping. This won't work for me, as I'll be laid up in a Cabin in Colorado for 2 weeks The person who responded was very nice and apologetic for the delay, and offered to refund my expedited shipping charge (14.99) and still send the package expedited as soon as it was available. While a lovely gesture, it just doesn't help me in my current situation.
So now I'm without a case, and definitely need one before we leave on Saturday.
In your experience, do you think I could get a case (rooCase, Caseen, etc.) online and shipped in time for my trip without spending an arm and a leg, or should I head to Best Buy and try to find something that I can jam the Transformer in for my trip.
Just wanted to share the delay of the case, my good experience with PC Micro Store customer service, and ask if anyone had any suggestions to get something in my hands by Friday or Saturday. Thanks!
Great looking case!

I am in the same boat, minus the 2 week vacation. I do fly out Friday as well, but I will be flying back on Sunday. I also got the same email with the offer to refund the expedited shipping and still expedite once they get them in stock.
I have been traveling with just the cheap hp case and a stand:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0049H8W1Y
I was really looking forward to the slim-fit though. As for other similar cases, anything roocase is out as there only looks to be one supplier for them. For any of the other ones it just depends on who is actually doing the shipping. Amazon is usually very good about making next/2-day as per the item page. You just have to be more careful about the purchases that don't actually come from Amazon. Whatever you are going to do, I would hurry up. You are just on the edge of rolling over to another shipping day for Amazon.
Good luck.
Edit: Yes...I am a sad Panda as well.
I ordered the same case but have been waiting since July 6th, I guess one more week is not such a big deal.What is a bit disconcerting is that the email says they will mark the order as shipped on Amazon.
+1 on the sad panda. But m not going anywhere and my transformer stays fine on my couch, without a case. Just saved some money! not so sad a panda now that I think about it.
Sent from my cell phone. DUH.
Thanks for the sad panda support guys! I went ahead and canceled the order, went to my local Micro Center and bought a cheap neoprene sleeve to hopefully keep my TF safe during travels (and kept the receipt and tags). Certainly not ideal, as I really wanted a folio that I could use to protect it and let my 20 month old son watch movies in the back seat on our long drive. Ah well, we shall perceiver!
Hopefully while I'm away, you guys will get your slim-fit and post some thoughts. If it's favorable ill go ahead and order one when I get back.
From the pictures, with this case we can connect the keyboard without removing the case, right?
I think I'll get this one.

Bump- as I also would like to know this...
I've been holding off because I'd really prefer buying a case that allows me to dock without removing the TF and I don't want to spend money on the Tuff-love because it's too expensive for me.
I ordered this case as well however I just canceled it. I found the Acase version of the slim fit on amazon that is in stock with free shipping. I originally paid the $20 for expedited shipping that wouldn't arrive until after Aug 4th to an FPO address. However the Acase offers free shipping that will arrive between Aug 1st and Aug 4th, or for the $5 shipping they have a guaranteed delivery of Jul 30th. The Acase version can be found at

Just a note: these are ready to ship at the Best Buy warehouse, but UPS isn't taking shipments today. So, these will actually physically ship tomorrow.

Got my tracking number 12/26/11 at 1:22 PM ET. Ordered 12/23/11 at 5:43 PM ET. Mine was a champagne cancel.
TP Grey 32 shipped
Ordered on 23rd.
Got shipping confirmation and UPS 2-day tracking number 12/26 4:30 PM ET
Ordered 12/24 around noon...
Received shipping info an hour ago
As posted on other thread.
Ordered one on friday around 7:30 pm eastern time, about 3 hours after these opened up. I ordered it regular shipping to arrive no later than 1/3/12 and it still has not gotten a tracking number.
Ordered one on friday around 9:00 pm eastern time, about 4.5 hours after these opened up. I ordered it expedited shipping to arrive no later than 11/28/11 tand it has a tracking number and should be here on wednesday.
As the one with the tracking number was ordered an hour and a half later, but was expedited, I am assuming that both will come, they are just taking care of the overnight and expedited orders first. I have cancelled my order with J&R and will cancel my amazon one when I get a tracking number on the first order.
I was very very skeptical, but am glad that I took a chance early on. Thanks guys, you are the best.
Ordered on 23 around 6:35pm ET, UPS 2-day and still on hold... Gray One.
Can you guys provide pre-order number to see if we can narrow it down?
Ordered: Friday @ 10:04PM
(32GB; Gray from special link)
Order from: Best Buy
Received Tracking number: today @ 1:30pm
Arriving: tomorrow via UPS (fingers crossed)
*all central time
*edit* well UPS was closed Monday and it was suppose to go out today, but when I called BestBuy, they were like "ummmm.....we can't find your box, maybe its sitting on a truck somewhere" super lame, so I am still waiting, hopefulyl all is still well and I'll get it Wends.
*Update*
Just got my shipping info to show up on UPS for delivery tomorrow. Since they took Monday off for the holidays, this makes since.
Nothing here Ordered Friday but stuck to regular shipping. Hoping I get a tracking No Tomorrow at least.
Ordered friday 23rd 5:30pm CST, still no tracking. Still says in process on the website
I ordered friday afternoon and got the order confirmation email that day at 6;18 pm and I JUST got my tracking info at 10am. I picked free shipping, am in Arizona.
SOOOOO EXCITED!!!
Ordered on 12/23 at 3:20 pm EST - free shipping, got the shipping notification today. No info on UPS website on the package yet.
I got my tracking number 12/26 at 10am. Delivery express was supposed to have been today 12/27 when I (re)ordered on 12/23. CC been debited.
I turned UPS notifications on. As of 10am, the unit is not yet, apparently in UPS' hands yet, as no notifications. So delivery today is impossible, I think.
My free shipping 12/23 order shipped today!

Purchased 32GB Amethyst Gray model from Best Buy 12/23/2011 Time: 5:50 PM ET
Shipping notification received today 12/27 @ 12:31 PM
Tracking info isn't showing up yet in UPS's system. Will update when available.
UPDATE: Shipped from Fresno, California to Pennsylvania... Arriving January 4, an astonishing EIGHT DAYS via the free UPS Ground shipping option (barf). I guess if I've waited this long....
I originally ordered this model from Amazon the day it was available. 10 days later my order was "inadvertently cancelled". Same day I went to BestBuy.com and ordered the 32G champagne. On 12/23 I received notification that champagne was on backorder indefinitely and was instructed to call to switch to gray. After 1 hour 20 minutes on the phone with 2 different clueless CSRs, I was told to leave my phone number and someone would be in touch. Immediately took matters into my own hands, cancelled the champagne via web, and ordered the gray via the link provided in their email.
What a long, strange road it has been.
WOO HOO...ordered Fri @ 6pm est, regular free shipping, just got my tracking number within the last hour...
For those snipers out there that managed to get a grey dock during the 15min opportunities that there were in the last few days, rest assured, the docks are being shipped.
Not bragging, just letting you guys know so you can check on yours to verify and maybe sleep a little better tonight.
When I got on newegg chat yesterday to check on my order, the rep was freakin clueless. Had me thinking they were overseas outsourcing or something. They couldn't verify that my order was being shipped or even if it existed in the warehouse. At the end of the chat I was very upset and worried about my order.
To give you an example, here's part of the convo.
Me: My order status says processing instead of shipped, but it's overnight and rush processed that was put in yesterday.
Rep: Well, I don't see it in the system. I'll send an email to the warehouse and you will get a response back in 24 hrs.
Me: I'm suppose to receive shipment in 24hrs not verification of my order!?!?!?!?
Rep: I've refunded your rush processing, regular processing take 2-3 days. Thank you for your patience
WHAT!!?!?!?!?!
(a couple more round turns like that and I was done)
I ordered in that first 15 minute window and I am glad to say I am typing this on my keyboard dock. It is awesome. I just wish I hadn't let the back of my tablet get scratched as much as I did. It's not bad but it will probably drve me crazy. It's odd how little I saw the back of this tablet before I got the dock.

Newegg currently has new dock for 129.99, refurbished for 119.99
They also have refurbished TF101 for 289.99. The sale started just today.
Amazon has new dock for 124.06. "Used - Very good" for 112.89 and "used - like new" for 115.38
If you are going to buy used, get the ones being sold directly by Amazon(aka eligible for free shipping or Prime) as Amazon has amazing return policy and quality guarantee on even used items.
"Used - Like New" is supposed to be in perfect physical condition according to Amazon's own definition of it. If what you receive isn't in perfect physical condition, even a little scratch, call up Amazon and they will give you a partial refund to make up for it.
www.bhphotovideo.com is doing even better. I got my used TF101 for $250 and the keyboard dock for $116 new.
They also have the TF101 new for $350 which is the best price I've seen for a new one.
Used has a 30 day return, 90 day warranty.
Just ordered my dock of the AAFES exchange website, usually 145 but a 17 percent April 1st coupon brought it down to 120.35. Pretty good deal if your eligible or know someone who is in the military. BTW the coupon is site wide but the only Transformer things they carry is the dock and a case
Or, like I said above, you could get it for $117 with free shipping, just need to be breathing to be eligible.

Yea that's probably the best price for a brand new dock(other than ebay) but it really depends on where you live. B&H's free shipping would be incredibly slow for me since it has to go from NY to CA.
I get free 2 day shipping at both NewEgg and Amazon but I prefer Amazon cuz of no tax lol.
Saving a few bucks is not worth waiting a week for it.
Makes sense. I get it in two days because I'm east coast.
Got a dock for $50 from a dumbass on ebay with a bad charger. He blamed it on his dock. When I got it, the dock worked flawlessly. I'm using it right now.
I ordered a S9+ on Samsung's website since it has a student discount. It says it ships in 1-3 days but I'm praying for 1. Have any of you guys ordered your phone on samsung? How long did it take until it shipped? (when I say shipped I mean sent out from Samsung not arrived) I'm just trying to stay sane while I wait for this phone.
I ordered a S9+ this morning from Samsung (after 11 days of fighting with them about my financing) and selected Express shipping (1 day) and I already have a tracking number and it will be here tomorrow!
I ordered mine Monday afternoon and it shipped Tuesday Morning and I got it yesterday. (With Express overnight)
