Well I have a screen protector that isn't compatible with the dock (AmorSuit Military Guard) I have tried putting it in the dock, and it goes in, with so difficulty, but the fabric pieces inside the dock are screwed up. If I peel off these fabric strips, would me prime for in the dock without having to take off the screen protector?

I had a similar problem
Carefully (And i DO mean carefully) remove the screws and pry open the dock, there are little clips that might break so you really gotta take your time and ease it open.
In the hinge assembly, under a silver sticker, there will be several screws holding the hinge assembly together
once you remove the bottom of the dock and the screws all holding it together you SHOULD be able to remove the part that holds the prime. On the FRONT bit i removed the fabric but also sanded down the plastic so it was completely flush (there is a plastic ridge that will mess up the protector otherwise)
Once you have it to your liking put it all back together. If you did it right the prime SHOULD fit nice with minimal wobble even with the "high quality" screen protectors or in my case, protectors on the front and back.
Remember, do at your own risk, YMMV, im not responsible, etc.
I just sanded down the fabric in the dock a bit

had this problem right three days ago. after applying a new screen protector (which covers the whole part of the screen, while the previous one not), it was very difficult to insert the prime in the dock. as i saw that the fabric strips were screwed up, i removed them with tweezers, but under them there was some glue which made again difficult to insert and remove the dock. so i spent my sunday morning in removing this glue with tweezers, water and my fingers (without opening the dock, in fact it was very difficult to do so, also because water on the pin is not such a good thing) and now there are no problems in inserting the dock, and no glue rests on my screen protector

Do you still have a snug fit after removing the fabric strips? I'm having the same problem (see thread I started a week or so ago), bit worry about the fit not being snug enough and having something in the dock connector (or, worse, the charging connector) get screwed up from the "wobble factor".

I decided to just f-it and took the strip off myself. Seems to fit snugly enough...just have to see if there's any long-term issues as a result.

No more snugs, i 'washed' it very carefully. I used those things you use to wash your ears (i don't know how you call them in english ahah). They and hot water, paying attention, did their job. I actually have no problems with how the dock fit the tablet, i can insert and put it out without problems.

The only problem i found was the tiny ridge around where the fabric used to be ended up messing up my screen protector after a while, that's why i suggest filing it down.

I don't know. But in the end, the screen protector is so thin that i wouldn't think so. But it would be better to always have the screen protector on the whole screen, in our case.

I am having a problem with the prime casing.
Its kinda hard to explain so i made some pictures. What should i do?
Did you receive it that way? It is strange, especially since I don't think the charger would be nearly strong enough to bend the aluminum....sounds like an rma

Call ASUS, ask the representative for an email address to send your photos to and/or how to proceed. You souls be able to get an RMA. You could return it to the store though for a replacement or refund.
I am a bit worried about the bend because it might be stressing the glass (last thing I want) along with the discoloration (no idea what is causing it but its ugly and I don't like spending $500 on something like that.)
I could be wrong....but didn't you post this?

Looks like self inflicted? and would explain the damage.....
So Lets Review:
You dropped your prime
Noticed Damage
Maybe you can find someone that can help you bend it back so that it does not stress the glass.
Also might have been able to tie these 2 threads together.

First up, the drop was face down so it would not have discolored the back.
Second up, the drop was face down and nothing was plugged in. Thus, that wasn't what damaged it. Besides, the drop happened BEFORE (like a week) that this damage was noticed. (Im not entirely sure how this happened.)
And third up, while I showed the bent metal, I was more worried about the pressure that it might be exerting on the glass.
And finally, I am worried about why the back is discoloring which is NOT user damage.
Looks to me like something's eating away a protective coating...
Have you handled your Prime after coming in contact with rubbing alcohol or anything similar? (like Germ-X)
And you can bend the little piece of metal above the charging dock back, it's not doing anything to your screen. Mine got bent when I started my opening process right in that spot and went right back with no problem...

it happened to me too...I didn't notice notice by the 3rd week of using it. It must be bent when charging it, or it was shipped that way....anyway, the aluminum is very soft. I probably bended by the charger's adapter.
I've also bent mine back into shape, I think the charger bent it, as it was within days of getting the thing, long before I ever dreamed of opening it. I also used my finger.

my first prime had that also I thought it was from opening and closing the dock but my new one hasn't budged even in the dock. I am now thinking that it came that way ( I noticed it 2-3 days after I got it). I now think that maybe it happens in the factory if they dock them to load the OS or do diagnostics of some sort before shipping them and the tech just isn't careful docking or undocking.

Yeah, looks that way to me as well. Man, you really did a number on this one in a short period of time, eh? Lots of scuffs and scratches on the back, bent charge port on the front....
Hard to believe it just happened on its own accord. Those are the typical scuff marks you would see on brushed metal that had been rubbed and scraped. And the scratches on the back are pretty bad as well.
I have the bent charge port as well. Looks like the HDMI port is bent up as well. The cable connections are very loose, and I'm sure this is part of the cause. I have been struggling with the HDMI port since it stopped working lately, but it very surprising how this could happen so easily.

Did I mention my headphone jack is as loose as a 60 ye- never mind. I'm sure you get the picture.
My dongle arrived today (UK user, delivered by TNT).
Just before it arrived I notice a tiny crack on my touchscreen caused by the dock.
It's going back to Asus before it brakes properly but not before I send it I am getting an independant engineers report done).
To top off a good day the GPS dongle dosent fit properly. There is not enough clearance at the front where it touches the touchscreen. I could possibly force it on an make it fit but this would risk finishing off the crack in the touchscreen. So I cant even test it.
Bahhhhh!

I find it hard that screen protectors would make it that tight, I guess ASUS out-did themselves with making this exactly to spec. Not a bad thing lol, but crazy that people are having issues from attachments that are like less than 1 mm thick.
A crack in the screen + GPS not fitting says to me that the screen hasn't been properly fitted. If you sight along the edge of the screen is it bowed out around the connector or is the screen sticking out above the "case" more at one end than the other?
I agree it's a tight fit but that's what you want imo. You don't want it loose and moving around. That will create more problems damaging your tablet... it may also damage the 40 pin connector.
Then I'm sure people here will start complaining that it's too loose and is not snug enough scratching the tablet and such.

Just kind of surprising considering all the mass-production issues we've been seeing from them.

Here is a few pictures of my dongle not fitting.
It looks like the dock connector on my prime is slightly bent. The tablet never leaves my house and I use it in the dock 95% of the time. It can only have bent opening and closing the tablet and dock. This has probably caused the crack in my screen too.

I have just had another look, It looks like the dongle is the problem, not the tablet. Here's some pictures of the bottom of the tablet and the slightly bent connection port. You will notice that it's only bent very slightly (nothing like others I have seen)
The touchscreen is level and looks to be mounted correctly (unless the whole touchscreen is too high but to me it looks the same as others I have seen).
Here are some pictures of the clearances, measured using a digital calliper. It was difficult to hold the tablet, callipers and camera but the measurements are correct. You will notice that gap is about 1mm too small.
dongle
Tablet
I am now convinced (after measuring it) that if I force it onto my tablet the screen will crack. My tablet has a Micro crack caused by the dock (I will post a separate thread shortly about this showing pictures). Any pressure on the touchscreen will break it properly. The dongle will put pressure directly on the micro crack so the result would be instant break.
Everyone that owns a dock should be aware and look out for the micro cracks caused by the dock. They are very easy to miss.
Will update shortly
Thread re-opened.
This thread has convinced me that if I ever needed to use GPS on my prime I'd just use GPS tether.

I sent mine to Texas after receiving RMA#. I've been waiting over 3 weeks to have it fixed. Tried to buy the cap but could not find it anywhere. I have only found port cover for Xperia phone Z but wasn't sure if they match those on the tablet. Anyway it is fixed now and recently I bought a cradle and it works great. I think it is a must to avoid damaging those covers. Pricey but I think it looks good, functions properly and it is great for watching movies, playing games and typing.
Bottom line send the tablet back to Sony and in the same time get a cradle and you will not have any issues with the tablet's waterproof tabs.

Thanks. I am sure the cradle is the best solution but not very practical when traveling and charging on the road on trains or air plains.
the cap must have a design flow if it breaks only after a couple of weeks.
Agreed. It was not the greatest engineering marvel. Cradle is in fact very thin and it fits the tablet very snug so I don't see any problem of taking it with me when I go. The threaded plug port with an o-ring would have been much better solution than that cheesy tab. But then again not many people would have bought a cradle. It is a good product but like most electronics it has its flows. My advice try not to open those tabs too often or better avoid opening them altogether. They will last forever. Bluetooth headphones, cradle, WiFi can easily facilitate it.

I would prefer that Sony replaced these, but they told me that when the tiny piece of plastic bends and breaks that it's considered physical damage. I find that odd that a main selling point is its resistance to damage but the part that protects from damage breaks off with normal use. I had to settle for replacement covers I found on ebay.

I had this situation that the cap got bend because I forgot to put it back after closing the tablet cover over it. I was able to bend it a bit the other side and also notice the little pin needed to be straighten so that it will fit back in place. This is when I notice the hole next to the usb to be used when the cap is open you insert the cap pin in it.

well the problem with removing the back is that it is not waterproof any more when you put it back on
here is a link from where i got mine : battery-cover.de/product_info.php?info=p102_abdeckung-usb-anschluss-tablet-z-weiss-black.html
Btw are you talking a bout a video of replacing the cap or a video about dissabling the tablet ?
From what I've seen the tab cover has a "nipple" which can be squeezed and pushed through the hole (from the inside of the tablet). I don't think it is easily or even possible to do it from the outside. Besides I think the back panel acts like a gasket and seals the inside so I don't understand why would the tablet lose its waterproof capability. Do you have any bad experience?? Besides I don't see why could not you smear very fine silicon layer around the mating parts and make it 100% waterproof! Disassembly is here: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zczfTnBFqtA
Good luck and let us know how did you make out.

Whatever method you use to charge your device (dock/micro USB) you have you Un-flip the cover since there are no openings on the left !

Likewise,I have this case,externally its ok-slim, quite well cut etc.
BUT,internally its totally bonkers,phone is held in with (very) sticky tape,which means
1.you have to really tear the phone to get it out of the case-it will almost certainly pull away the bonded glass back away from the rear of phone over time.
2.If you shut the case when empty,it glues itself together- hard.
3.If you leave the case lying about open-dust,fluff,tobacco,flies etc plaster the sticky tape.

So the skin might help it be in original shape and I could even get a carbon fibre or leather feel.
And for the after removal I have kept the original plastic sheet which covered the sticker on the case, I hope that will come to use when I remove the case which will be soon

Hi,trouble with not using the silly sticky strip is-try picking up the case from horizontal(with phone in),and hold it vertically,phone will tend to drop straight out of of the case!Kind of negates the point of having a protective case if it ends up in bits on the floor don't you think! ?

Finally got rid of the flip case .
now I have installed a protective skin all over my phone , with a nano-ceramic screen protector !
Feels much better
the s pen has been provided with extra leads to use. i wore off the tip of my spen and replaced it. To my surprise i found out the original tip is of rubber while the rest of hard plastic.
it doesnt feel the same..
disappointed :thumbdown:

does the stylus have build-in battery?
when you put the stylus near the screen, there' a dot on the screen.

The plastic tips feel much better on a tempered glass screen protector than the rubber ones.
Actually the pen is powered by an electrical field generated by the phone. The electrical field is also used to determine pen position. Pen contact is determined by the pressure placed on the point of the pen. To prove this, take out the pen and open action note. Hover above the screen and then press the tip with your finger instead of the screen. You will still place marks on the screen. This shows that the screen does not interact with the pen in any way.

Actually, there are both hard plastic & rubber tips included. You can tell the difference between the two if you look closely

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

wow thanks i didn't know my extras were of rubber AND plastic. my default one was rubber and it didn't glide as well as i wanted it to (at least on my ebay tempered glass protector). i changed it out for a plastic one and now it's perfect (if anything, too slippery). now i have 1 extra plastic, and 4 rubbers.
OP, try to double check your extras... the plastic tips are even shinier than the rubbers, so you can visually see the difference with a good eye.
I had no idea that it came with plastic tips. I popped one in and the pen is much more enjoyable to use now. Plus there's no more sticky streak marks on my screen from the rubber tip wearing away.
In glad I saw this thread.
just checked my spare tips. 2 plastic and 3 rubber + 1 rubber(original)....seems a bit much on the rubber ones lol..but im guessing they do wear out faster
the plastic ones feel alot...nicer on the screen than the rubber ones lol
Does anyone know where to buy replacement plastic tips? I checked the box and can't find my replacement ones. I've searched and the only option I found was buying a brand new S Pen + the tips for around ~$20. My current rubber tip is almost completely worn out.

Don't let it get to you, it isn't like you started a new thread to ask about it.
wow, I've had my phone since October 4th, and hadn't even noticed that there are both plastic and rubber-tipped replacement nibs in the box! the plastic one is much smoother when using a tempered glass screen protector, so I swapped out the one that originally came installed.
thanks for the post !
ohh..
everyone has plastic and rubber tips?
mine only has plastic replacements, i find the rubber one better on my simple diamond screen protector.
I also tried each and every tip, they are all plastic.
