Ok, so I am looking for something temporary that makes it easy to take the tablet out and use and i think i prefer not having a zipper because i just dont think metal needs to be anywhere near the tablet when it comes to a case. So I am thinking about one of the 3 cases and they are all under $10. Free 2 day shipping with amazon prime as well. My biggest concerns with them though is that they might be to big. I dont want the tablet sliding around in it. Here are the options i have found so far:
http://www.amazon.com/Envelop-Neopr...?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1305695940&sr=1-39
http://www.amazon.com/Kensington-K6...2-Inch/dp/B002NU5R3A/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
http://www.amazon.com/Asus-T101MT-E...TF8&coliid=I3ULO79FFYTHW8&colid=3V2S2G7N6FICX
I am kind of leaning towards the Asus one above, but the envelope style one might be nice. I didnt find any in the compatible thread that fit my needs. I will probably be getting a dock (whenever best buy has them available as i have a $100 BB gift card to burn there), nothing is in stone yet. I really wanted a case with a stand, but the asus transformer one seems like crap and the price is to high and doesnt work with the dock.
Help me make a decision as i have been shopping to long. =) I could just buy 2 of the 3, but i dont want to waste money either and Im not one to return a $10 item. I am open to other ideas as well. Thanks!
Keep your eye

Keep your eye on It2steve's site: electroniccrap.com If you want to waiting about 9days. You will not be disappointed.
Just ordered one from ebay for 10" netbook, should only have 2cm more than the transformer on the width... should fit great with the keyboard dock and only 3.28$
Here is the link for anyone interested, (also, does anyone actually tried those sleeve and how did it fit, i am waiting for my dock to come in but the dimensions should fit or be really close...)
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250759188954#ht_4779wt_1035
as for the messenger bag, i would have definately got one from amazon but i am in canada and the shipping is monstruous and the ones from amazon.CA are 3-4 times the price so i am looking on ebay...
If you are Sam's Club member
I found a sleeve at Sam's Club for 7.88 by Case Logic. Zips shut and has a small pocket on the front the cord and power supply (I keep an micro fiber cloth for cleaning the display also). Works great with the tablet and keyboard.
I ended up getting the Asus one as it was only about $12 after overnight shipping. Will update you guys on how it fits.
It's brand new (minus the cellophane wrap) and I can't get anyone to buy it locally on CL. Rare as hen's teeth. I'm surprised there has been no interest.

Ben
i bought a new dock today for $119 + $6 shipping on amazon
link ?
I need one
Office Depot
I picked up a dock a couple of days ago at my local Office Depot. They had it in stock at list price. Of course they didn't have any of the TF201 tablets in stock but plenty of the TF101s.
I'm still not sure I'm going to keep it though. I didn't buy my Prime to use as a laptop really. I bought it to use as a tablet, I've got plenty of netbooks, laptops and desktops. What really disappointed me was they don't come with a charger and cable.
I've docked mine once and didn't even remove the plastic protective covering just to see what it is all about. I can see how people are cracking screens with this thing though. The hinge is unbelievably tight.
If I do decide to sell it I will post.

almost wonder if storing tab and dock separately for things like travel and transport would be a better (safer) idea.
My local Best Buy and surrounding locations all have them in stock. I bought one a week ago just to try out when though I didn't think I would care for it. I tried it a couple times an then returned it to Best Buy. It is very very nice!! If I was in college or didn't have a new laptop that I love them I am sure I would have kept it. If any one is around the Atlanta Georgia area them check local Best Buy stores, plenty of docks in this area, no tablets though....

Wow. No one read the OP.
If you add rubber bumpers, it's probably safer to transport docked. If not, there's some suspicion that docked transport could potentially cause the glass to crack, although I don't think that's been confirmed as the actual cause just yet. Transporting separately, I'm not sure that you'd necessarily benefit - the bulk is at least the same, if not greater, and you'll have to pack them separately to avoid having the hinge scratch the glass.

I have been using my Prime with the dock since early last December and my Prime is fine. I carry this thing everywhere, work, home when I travel on vacation, etc.
After reading all the anecdotal reports of Prime screens cracking, I think the real issue with the people whose screens cracked is that the Prime's backplate is slightly warped, which puts stress on the screen. If the glass is stressed long enough any bump could lead to a crack. Probably closing the lid, or pressing the slightly warped Prime against the keyboard dock was enough to stress the glass and cause a break.
As for the real intent of the thread:
Officedepot still has them in stock. As far as I can see they have had the most consistent stock of both Prime's Docks & other accessories. I don't know if they ship to Canada though.

Hah, whoops. Started reading on the second page, not the first.

I might be getting a HTC Amaze soon (and paying ~$150 on top of the hassle of selling it for a One S isn't worth it for me), and I'm considering getting the official desktop dock and car dock while they're still available...but is it worth it? Seems like getting them in-store is about the only place to get them (if the store has it period), as I only see like two eBay listings for just the car dock on the entire web. I get that they're not too extraordinary (desktop dock particularly), but I don't want to be with the Amaze a few months down the line and not being able to find either for a reasonable price.
i have not even seen the desktop dock anywhere i just got my amaze today from tmobile didnt see it in the store. On another note if you want to trade your s for my amaze let me know lol
I have both the car and desk dock personally. I have them in my store available for purchase, but i know not every T-Mobile store receives them
I wonder if someone who has the car dock would be willing to measure the diameter of the suction cup on it? I have a dash friction mount that I would love to attach the arm of the official dock to, but I don't want to buy it if the suction cup is larger than the surface on the friction mount I have.
Yes we have them in, I'm mad we don't get much amaze stuff but dock is cheap for 49.99

This is interesting. I had no clue there was a desktop dock for this phone. I've never seen it in store. I may have to pick it up and do a bit of modding to make a very useful car dock for GPS navigation as the one I have is a bit.....
I'm sitting on an extra OEM desktop dock that someone didn't end up paying for. Willing to sell for 30 including shipping to US or 40 to Canada. Send me a PM if interested.

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but you can find official HTC Amaze OEM car docks on ebay. Just search for HTC Amaze car dock. They're around 20 bucks.

Ebay... Car dock and desktop dock both for $39.

Received the items yesterday. It's the real deal. OEM Car and Desk dock... still with the T-Mobile price tags attached. The desk dock is listed at $49.99 ALONE!
Since I could never find the car dock, I went with a different solution. I already had the Trident Kraken AMS case so I was able to buy a part from Trident that uses the AMS feature to turn into a car dock. The part is only $15, so if you have a Trident Kraken case, pair it up with a car charger and you are ready to go!
There's no more docks left, oh well

If you're looking for the desktop dock, I ordered one last week, and there are three more available on ebay. $24.99 and free shipping.
So I finally got the car dock, the official one. It is amazing.

Thanks. I probably won't get one of either, but I wanted people to see where to find them.
- for the car holder, I have not been able to find a charger that will keep up with the battery drain of the Amaze when using data, GPS, and keeping the screen on. I use Google Maps navigation by connecting the BT and turning off the screen. Otherwise this would be a great setup.
- for the desktop, I keep my Amaze in a TPU case. Still I might consider it for home use at night...
Ah, what the heck, I went ahead and bought the car model - what a deal!!

I have TPU cases for my Amaze as well but I bought it not only for the dock but for the "official" HTC charger. I can use it without the dock and it charges fast.
Does anyone know if the TF300T has any car dock-type accessories available? I'm looking to buy a new GPS but if I can get that feature out of my tablet (with some AWESOME apps I found like Navier HUD Premium) I'm looking to see if maybe there is a car mount I could use instead? Would make the two-hour drive back to my parents' house in Northern VA more comfortable having a tablet with my entire music collection, etc.
Thanks,
O

There are several on Amazon that should work. I haven't tried one yet but just might gave to order one tonight.
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_n...s=electronics&field-keywords=tablet+car+mount
I ordered this one:
http://www.amazon.com/PH-PAD-ME-10R...=1345606243&sr=1-16&keywords=tablet+car+mount
It should arrive in a couple of day and will give you my impressions once it arrives.
I was tempted by this one, but wasn't sure if it would fit my dash and it was $10 more. I may eventually pick this one up too and see how it fit on my dash (looking at it today I think I may work).

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...
