When the original TF101's were released, Asus were touting that their dock will be compatible with the future quad core tablet.
Well, we know that turned out to be false.
So now I am wondering if this is the going to be the case with the Prime Dock?
Has Asus said anything? I guess, if even if they said it is going to be compatible, i guess that doesn't necessarily turn out to be true..
2nd question: Is there any chance of a tablet + dock combo here in US?
Why would they not have that option here? I think this is the same thing they did last time...?

Asus DID say that the dock will be compatible with future releases with the TF101. There is no proof that the existing TF101 will not work with the TF201 other than the fact that the new tablet is so much thinner I believe.
But let's look at how thin the TF201 is. How much thinner can you get? The Prime will be the thinnest tablet released and I really cannot imagine the want for a sub 8.5mm design. S
anybody got this case ，sold 80. still no pics about this case.

I haven't received the case yet. However, I ordered the same one from Amazon.com and it seems like they are doing a sale so it is a lot cheaper

I ordered this one as well. Hoping that it and the tablet both arrive on the 5th.
This my Targas case I bought from best buy yesterday for $19.99. Really good quality and nice padding inside to protect my prime and keep it scratch free. This will do until I find a real case that fits around the prime itself. This is more like a travel case but it'll do for now. I posted pix of the inside of it also so you can see the padding.

Got this from five below. It is a network case the the prime fits in perfectly. The 2 Styrofoam pieces aren't supposed to be there. I left the original one and took another one and I puts the prime between the 2 pieces. Works well

I can't post links yet, but I ordered one of these from Amazon:
VERTEKS Asus Eee Pad Transformer PRIME TF201 10.1-Inch Android Tablet Wi-Fi Multi-Angle Slim-Fit Leather Folio Case Cover (Black)
Looks to be a slimmer fit than some of the others.
Looks good. Nice touch with android logo. Vry creative and saved you money.

I just ordered this Poetic Case - I prefer a case that doesn't cover the front bezel. Plus it bends in such a way that I can still use it with the dock. I'll probably pick up a cheap sleeve for the dock.
Yep, I ordered the same one for the same reasons.

Let us know how you like it when you actually get it.
I ordered this VanGoddy case:
http://www.vangoddycase.com/Weather...froogle&utm_medium=organic&utm_source=froogle
I hope it fits correctly. The name is suspiciously over specific.
It should arrive any day now, I'll let you all know how it fits.
I also ordered Poetic(TM) StandBook Stand Leather Case with Angle Adjustable for Asus Eee Pad Prime TF201 Black. My order says estimated delivery Jan 17-20. Maybe they don't really have them in stock.
I noticed that it says "Processing takes an additional 4 to 5 days" on the Poetic Case page.
I placed my order on the first. It doesn't show as shipped yet, but my delivery estimate says January 11-13.

so you need 1 case and 1 sleeve
wow, no ones getting that giant case with the extra removable piece for the keyboard I was wondering if it was worth it or not
I am waiting for a case for both the dock and tablet also.
i went out and bought a 10.2 netbook case from HP @ BB for $15
works well enough, but not quite what i really want though, this is to just save me until some manufactures get off their butts and produce something for us....

No pictures of the dock skin but they offer it, and a lot of designs.

just ordered one, lets see
that is a horribly designed site. i would rather keep it simple and go with skinomi. i got one for my GS2 and it is great
Interesting. how do these look once applied? I can see them looking kinda sloppy and cheesy, but i could be wrong. Anyone get their hands on one yet?
I know its been discussed, running out the door asap though and have an expiring coupon at newegg that I may use to buy the dock.
Have we heard if the 201 dock will work with the tf700? Might buy the dock an the 201, and if the tf700 kills it just swap the tabs out later and keep the dock.

Unknown, but from the Infinity topic, it sounds like each tablet will have it's own dock.

Wow, that stinks. I was under the impression that the dock would be interchangeable. Also from all the videos that have been posted, it looked like the tf201 dock on the 700.
I was hoping to do what the OP posted.....facepalm...
When the 700 was first announced they definitely said it would use the TF201 dock. Given the fairly minor differences between the Infinity and TFP there had better be a good reason why if not.

Ya, I specifically remember them saying when the 700 was announced during CES that the 201 dock would be compatible with the 700.
Yea at this point i am not sure anymore. I may sell my dock now and just get a new one when the Infinity comes out.
Well I missed the cutoff for that coupon before I settled on the dock, picked up some random things. I certainly hope, for their sake and the consumers, that the docks will fit both models. No sense in re-tooling AGAIN unless there is a major overhaul going on.

Asus also stated the same 'aim' with the original transformer keyboard dock. I can only go by what Asus have said about the new models on their facebook page, namely that none of them would be compatible with the existing Prime keyboard dock. But I suppose we'll only know for sure once the Infinity model is physically available.

From the videos that I've seen it seems like Infinity should fit in the existing Prime dock.
i remember reading somewhere that asus did say all docks will be interchange able with later models
they said this with the TF101 dock
has anyone given that a try yet?
Video of the 700 with the plastic strip on top, he was careful not to say the Prime had crappy wifi.
Comparison video, He mentions a better antennae design, Headphone jack is moved and a couple of other things as well. It looks the same thickness as the Prime, but you can even see in this video the Prime has a more washed out color appearence, just look at the clouds on the 700 compared to the 201, 700 looks a lot better.
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...
