Noticed that first the case review thread was deleted and now a thread about the e-crap site including a post about the review thread being deleted was deleted.
Now theres a nice confusing post. But seriously what gives?

The good folks at xda have temporarily taken the thread down for review.
This really stinks. I had that thread bookmarked so I can go over it later as it has a lot more images than the e-crap website does, as well as a great write up for each case. I hope they re-instate the thread as it was very informative for us just getting the tablet from the Woot sale.
Hmmm. Hopefully they will reinstate the thread and allow Steve to continue operating here: he has done a great deal to help the XDA g tablet community get our hands on accessories, some of which might not even have existed without his efforts.
I actually ordered something from there yesterday. I was a little leary since i hadn't heard about it before. Hopefully all is well.

I wouldn't worry about placing an order, looks as though quite a few people have done business with Steve. I plan to as soon as the latest shipment comes in.
I'm gonna take a guess that the whole thread removal has something to do with a developer reviewing and selling product. I for one appreciate his efforts and am OK with this situation, if that is indeed the problem.

I ordered from him last week. Fast shipment and responded super quick to all my questions. Overall great guy and great experience. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from him again. Not sure why the post was just removed as its been up for a while.
Cool. I will review the CLIP folio when I get it. Thanks guys.
I'm looking for the P4 case review but looks like the same thread is missing. Hopefully it will be back up soon. Anyone has any experience with that case?
I was watching that thread waiting for the black clip cases to be in stock. Where can I get that information now?

I just received the dock today, and I to am waiting for the black clip. I guess I am subscribed since the only link I see on the site is to unsubscribe.

I'll second that.
Steve is a stand up guy. I have bought a couple of accessories from him with no problems - he was very quick in fact - and watched many others here do likewise. I have yet to see anybody write a bad word about him.
If the thread was pulled, it is most likely on a forum posting rules issue: there is actually a Marketplace forum on XDA somewhere - anybody here actually check that forum?? - and it may be that his cases thread should be in there, according to the rules.
Thing is you need several posts to even read that forum. I can't remember the last time I went there and I would guess quite a few folks in here would say the same.
Yep. I have purchased from that site as well. Fast shipping and fair prices. Plus I liked the review thread because it gave good information and was not what I would call just marketing.
Steve also posts over at AndroidTablet, and there is a review thread there as well
I'm disappointed by this as well, because I too had the thread bookmarked. I don't have enough posts to use the XDA marketplace, and I don't like to make BS posts just bump my post-count. If I have nothing constructive to say, I don't say anything. (except maybe this post )
Which of his cases are compatible with the dock without removing the tablet from the doc? Since I can't find detailed pics, based on reading the description it seems like just the clip, but, maybe others are as well?
I really enjoyed reading the updates I can't wait for the black clip to come into stock
I ordered the White CLIP, didn't want to wait for the black in case they never come in. Don't really care about the color.
Does anyone know if his shipment came in?
It seems like office depot and best buy have the transformer prime in stock! I just cancelled my order from amazon and now I'm going to get it a lot quicker. If any of you are facing the same problem with amazon not shipping this tablet quick enough, i would suggest you cancel your order and buy it from office depot or best buy!
I would keep the preorder from Amazon until you get a tracking number. I ordered one from best buy yesterday and then it got put on back order, sold out on the website, then became available again to order yet I have not received a tracking number or shipping notice.
BB still says coming soon..
Yes, I ordered from Best Buy yesterday at 1:30. Paid for express shipping ($42 for two). Was told "processes in 0-1 days" expected delivery of 12/30-1/3. It hasn't changed at all since then. I am suspicious that Best Buy has left that link up since yesterday. Why are they the only vendor that seems to have an unlimited supply? Very suspicious, especially considering that it's the special internal link that was set up for people who pre-ordered the champagne color and needed to switch to the gray. Once I have a tracking # I'll feel better!
Updated to add: Ok, I have a tracking #. I feel better!!

Wont let me post the link in the message so i put the link to the forum with the bestbuy link in the title. I got my order confirmation already as well as an expected delivery date
....OP, really? there are threads here already posting this. Why have you decided to create another useless thread that just clutters up the already exploding forums?
i'm finding my time now just looking at the same threads being repeated in new ones and realizing people cant read.
Not meant to be rude but seriously...read before posting and realize it probably has already been posted.

Well i originally intended this forum to be about office depot having it but every one seems to want to talk about best buy
office depot
For those of you wondering, here is the office depot link http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/906853/ASUS-Eee-Pad-Transformer-TF201-Tablet/ 1/2 arrival date and i got my tracking number from bb
looks active, but when you put in cart, says no stock. Has always said this when I checked.
Hello everyone Sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong forums.
I just bought the Samsung Note so now I am trying to sell my unlocked SGS2 on Ebay. I have the charger, extra battery, and unlock code for device (in case person ever has to do a master reset). Of course its refurbished 9 has been used for 2 months) but is in good condition despite a barely noticeable, minor scratch on back cover (see pic).
What is a fair/good asking price?
I'd recommend looking at auctions on there that have already ended and get a good idea from that. That's the best way I've found to determine current value of specific items on there.
How about you post in the classified section instead of trying to sneak your ad in where it doesn't belong?

Ummm actually I'm NOT trying to sell it on here. keyword was "EBAY" I simply asked a QUESTION b/c I was unsure if my asking price of $275 on ads I'VE ALREADY PLACED elsewhere was too much or little. So how about you enjoy your night and thank you very much for you sarcastic/pointless response.
Whatever you say. I'm sure that since you did mention eBay that you have no way to actually see what they are selling for there instead of coming in here where probably few people have actually sold their SGSIIs and weren't really trying to squeeze in an ad without anyone noticing. Uh huh.
Lol whatever you say dude.

Will this work with cases that we have already? For example, it just replaces the existed door, right? Doesn't add any more thickness so we can't use the existing cases we have? Thanks in advance. I'm asking because I read the reviews on the BestBuy site and two of them say that it does add bulk slightly. Just don't want to buy this thing and then find out it's a matter of using this and not being able to use my existing case with it.

Not 100% as I don't have one yet, but I think it might add some additional thickness. So my guess is you will need new case. Maybe someone who purchased already can answer this better than me.

There's one listed on 23rd street and 6th ave here in the City. I was going to go and buy it in person and try it with the tough case I bought a week or so ago already on the phone. Figure I can always return it if they don't have a restocking fee.
Will post more information tomorrow once I check it out.
Thanks for the information, regardless. Much appreciated.

It does add some thickness. Not so much that you will notice it in your hand, but enough that most fitted hard cases will not fit properly. This is a discussion worth reviewing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2609406
I went to the BestBuy in 44th and 5th in the City. They're clueless. Two guys with "Samsung Experience Specialists" jerseys or jackets or whatever those zip up things are, the guy kept trying to sell me something COMPLETELY unrelated to what I wanted. Finally I asked him if he had the Qi-compatible charging stand and he said no. Said he only gets "about 2 in a week". I gave up and walked out.

FWIW, I live very close to Best Buy's HQ here in MN. I know a lot of good people employed by them. With BB being a hometown store here I am rarely more than 7 or 8 minutes from a store location wherever I travel in town... That said: I drive past all of them in favor of any competitor, even if I have to go further and/or spend a little more. I do not feel they practice good business ethics as a company, and I do my best boycott them. I do some consulting work, and on occasion am forced to buy a computer component from them. I have had to do this 7 times in the last 10 years, and 5 of those times ended up with a sales person who either lied, or was completely clueless sharing bogus information as fact - in spite of their being the in-store "expert". Good luck to all who shop there, but please don't count on their staff to help educate you on making a sound purchase.
I decided to make a dedicated thread, as in two other threads a few people were interested. Currently, what looks to be the best fitting tempered glass screen protector is available only in Japan. In both black and white. I have no clue on what price we can get, but I will leave this topic up for a week, and if we can get enough people interested, I will contact the manufacturer and attempt to set a deal.
Some links of the screen protector.

I'm interested assuming it actually fits the way that it should.
Edit: it looks like the price on their shop is around 32$ USD if you convert the currency. That's not bad if it works plus it looks nice. Its too bad iloome never came around and made one just like this.
I'd register an interest, but (1) I'd like to know whether it actually works - all we have to go on so far is the advertising material, and (2) I'm based in the UK, so a shipped-to-US deal doesn't help me.
If somebody on here could try one and confirm that it works, and they would ship to the UK (or ideally worldwide, given the global nature of this forum) then I'd certainly buy one.

No one is able to get just one, and if they ship to US we can forward to UK no problem. Currently, unless we find someone who lives in Japan and has an N6, willing to buy one to review it.. We have to trust the advertised video. However, I have never been disappointed with any products coming from Japan.. The Chinese knock-off.. well I wouldn't trust, although someone purchased one and will write a review once it arrives.
Just read the Chinese knock off is plastic, too bad I ordered it already...very disappointed
In for black one. We need this.

That sux.. Do let us know more when you receive it though.
I'm interested in this. When would the trigger be for the order? After we reach XX interests?
I'd be in for one possibly two
I'm hoping this will work out and not be sh*tty because that would make a lot of people unhappy. I wonder if there is a way they can send a sample over for someone to test if we are doing a large order.
