The official Asus sleeve is in stock now at their online shope in the UK.
Here: http://shop.asus.co.uk/shop/gb/en-G...0--ASUS-Eee-Pad-Transformer-TF101-Sleeve.aspx
Price isn't to bad so ordered one with a my 10% off code.
I ordered one too. Didn't have a discount code though.
Hopefully they will deliver quickly.

i ordered one too after having my order from amazon cancelled yet again!
Thanks for the heads up bud.
Just a heads up that although this website is AsusUK, the sleeves are actually being delivered from Germany and although its says dispatched within 24 hrs it still takes several days for them to arrive.
I was thinking that for £6 UPS it should come next day. I need to read the small print more thoroughly in the future.
My order status says "In process" but when I phoned the customer service number they said it had been shipped but there are no tracking details. She said I should have it within 5 days. I would have thought the status should say shipped and I would have expected an email to tell me that too.
I have already cancelled one order from Asus Laptops after waiting 2 weeks and being fobbed off by them several times with ficticious dates.
I have now had an email from them saying it has been shipped and the order status has updated to shipped with a UPS tracking code so obviously it hadn't shipped at the point the lady said it had. Expected delivery is Thursday according to UPS website.
Yep, got my confirmation email earlier too and mine also says delivery for this Thursday!
Thanks for sharing...now to keep a look out for the USB adapter...
Just ordered one.
Deffo comes from Germany. I paid with Paypal through their .com site yet the invoice came from .de

I'm sure I can find the answer, but i'm really tired and lazy right now. haha

Take a knife to it
Excellent, as i was going through checkout i paused and registered the device on vip.asus.com as itt registered a pop up with 10% off code appeared so used that for a few pounds off, top job
So what do you think of the sleeve. Mine arrived yesterday. It is OK but is not worth the price.
The one position stand is a pain since a lot of games like angry birds don't rotate so are upside down if you turn the pad upside down for the low stand position.
I will be keeping an eye out for a better one.

After some heartache (not nearly as much as some of you) I have finally gotten confirmation from UPS on receiving my package with a delivery set for tomorrow.
Purchased: Grey 32GB Prime from secret link w/ Next Day Air Saver shipping
Date/Time: Friday 10pm (central)
BB printed shipping label: 12/26 (Monday) @ 6:50pm
UPS scanned for shipping: Today @ 4:44pm (Fresno, CA)
-tracking number was inactive in UPS system until just now-
If your is looking good to go on the UPS side, feel free to post and lend some reassurance to our brothers and sisters in arms.
If this helped you find that yours in good to go, feel free to throw me a thanks.
^ ^
*Update*
I received mine today (12/28) from UPS. There's also talk in the other threads about getting your money back for 1day shipping option from Best Buy. Haven't tried yet (didn't want to jinx arrival) but I plan on calling tomorrow.
UPS NEXT DAY AIR
ETA: by 3:00 pm Wednesday
Yep my tracking number also now works in UPS's system. It's coming from Fresno CA and I am on the East Coast so it won't be here till the 4th :-(
Is there anyway to get UPS to ship it faster for a charge? I don't want to wait a week!!!
The real heartache is going to be when you open the device and see it immediately does not live up to your expectations. I found no discernible difference between my TF101 and TF201, thus, I canceled my order. People must temper their expectations, or all of the hand wringing and teeth knashing that has been going on waiting to get one will feel like nothing compared to dropping 500 beans on a tablet that really won't 'wow' you, in any way.
what does this mean for Canadians, if anything?
I'm pretty sure you gonna love the device. it has definitely Wowed me and I come from having an Ipad. still haven't been able to set it down yet..lol. I know I need to get off this forum and start playing around with it somemore. catch you all later lmao

Its a much different experience coming from an iPad, its not a much different experience coming from its predecessor. Not much at all.

Seriously? How about you let us find out for ourselves, eh? We really, really don't need you to comment in a thread that has absolutely NOTHING to do with YOUR experience, if your only purpose is to inflict whatever misery you feel on us.

The transformer is awesome. I have the grey and it has a badass purpleish finish.
You guys will love it....nuff said.

I ordered mine on Saturday 12/24 through the special link and the UPS tracking just went through. As others stated, it is in Fresno and will be here tomorrow! Didn't get one for Christmas but it is my birthday tomorrow so it is all good.
I had one on order from Newegg and cancelled it once Best Buy confirmed my order on Monday. I sure hope I don't have any defects like some have stated. This is my first tablet so I am sure I will enjoy it and not be disappointed. My Droid X is fun but I am sure this will be a whole lot better.

wow, the other guys were right, way to bring down the party and troll all over my post. The only purpose of the thread was to give hope to the people waiting on their tablet. Dirty pool man, dirty pool.
I ordered mine Friday after I received the email from BB stating I could replace my champagne with the gray. After 2+ hours on the phone and giving the CSR Supervisor the link they sent me in the email.... it finally got ordered (but should have been here today)
Mine has left Fresno, moved to Ontario and is in the air on it's way to me I am now finally confident it will be here tomorrow.

My expectations for the Prime are realistic.
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.
So what happened to the Adorama pre-orders thread with thread id of 1379332? It was still here this morning and now it seems to be deleted. I have the old link bookmarked and it will not load up. I also searched for "Adorama" and the thread does not show up.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379332
Does anyone know why this was deleted?
It seems they closed all the US pre order threads which is ridiculous because some of us are STILL waiting on our pre orders ಠ_ಠ
It looks like they merged all the seperate threads into this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1352938&page=56
And then closed it...
I was following the B&H thread (which the posts from are now showing up in that larger merged together closed thread) and there actually was a B&H rep who posted in it a couple times.
I'm one of those that are waiting on adorama too ...
Sad that Helen (adorama) and Henry (B&H) now are merged into the tonnage of the mess from the multitude of pre-order threads.
I do tho understand the mods needed to do something, and I'm sorta glad they DID.
I can understand the merging... but they closed the merged thread. Probably a mistake, but as of right now no one can post to it since it is closed.
I agree! Not all of us have gotten our pre-orders yet and it was great having the Adorama rep posting updates to the Adorama pre-orders thread. Now I fear that we will no longer be getting any updates from her on this.
I wasn't aware that the "new" thread is now closed too. So we definitely wont be getting any updates from Helen (Adorama rep). This really sucks!

No, this is me doing my Bat Woman impression, because I found the new thread!
The latest update I have is that the purchasing manager had reason to believe he would be seeing a steady stream of units shipping out by the 3rd week of January.
I've asked for a confirmation that this is still the case but haven't heard back, yet.

It's now the 4th week of January and my order is still "pending" (and no info from Adorama ...)
Helen, can you please provide some info?
I ended up cancelling my order with Adorama and picked up one from NewEgg when they had one in stock. I then picked up a dock from TigerDirect when it was in stock. I now sit with a nearly perfect 64GB Grey Transformer Prime and Dock and a 32GB MicroSD Class 10 card (which I got from Amazon for $39, Deal of the Day). Everything works great on the Prime, WiFi is great and GPS is so so. The GPS works after the latest update but just not great. I don't really use the Prime for GPS though so it is fine with me.
I would suggest setting up alerts on NowInStock.net for the Prime and Dock so that you are notified when someone has them in stock and you will be able to get your order in before the run out, which is usually very quickly.
I'm wanting/waiting for a 64gb champ (w/dock) ... seems I've picked the absolute worst combo.
Then again I've not had to RMA (yet)!

Please email me with your order number: [email protected] and I'll see what I can find out about your order.
They probably cancelled your order. They cancelled my preorder and never said a word. It wasn't until I called up and asked why the processing info never changed that I was told it was cancelled. Never dealing with them again.
For whatever reason, when I decided to buy the Pixel 6 on Friday (1/21), buying it direct from Google seemed like the way to go. For some reason it wasn't showing up for overnight delivery on Amazon and my local Best Buy was out of them (the unlocked version).
It said "Get it as soon as 1/22!" so I clicked the link. Tossed the phone and case into my cart and went to check out. There was no option to get it next day, but I had a busy weekend planned anyway, and it said it would arrive 1/25-1-27. There was an option for $20 to bump it up by one day. Pass.
Ordered it, and pretty much forgot about it until today. Checked my order and it still hasn't even shipped, but apparently Google only gives you an hour or so after ordering to cancel. I checked; too late for me to cancel.
At this point it's back in stock for tomorrow morning delivery by Amazon and BB has gotten some more in, but I can't cancel my Google order. Grrr...
Kind of odd that it would sit 76+ hours without shipping, and not be cancel-able at this point. Note to self: don't buy directly from Google anymore.

Usually they have a status associated with the order. It's probably being sent to shipping if it's not cancel-able. Google does not give you "an hour or so after ordering" to cancel. If it's not in stock they will give you as many days/weeks as it takes to get to shipping. It's only the 24th and not even the earliest it was expected to arrive. Give it to the 27th and ... well all good things come to those that wait.
Yeah, pretty stoked about getting this thing. Can't blame me for some impatience ! My first Pixel. I've had pretty much everything but Google-made Androids.
The status shows "not shipped" but no cancellation because the order went to the warehouse on Friday. They are probably backed up like everyone else these days.
Ok, sitting back and waiting. Lots of great info on this subforum.
Lol..
I can't wait for the Pixel 7.
Shipping date Oct. 25, 2022.
My dear friend just look at me, you will definitely feel good.
I live in a country where Pixel phones are not officially available.
I placed an order on October 26th from Google store US to be shipped to my friend in CA.
Google started shipping on Nov. 7th, and meanwhile, I started worrying about FedEx as everyone on Reddit said Fedex always lost packages.
Finally thank god, it was delivered to my friend on Nov. 15th.
My friend started the shipment on Nov. 22nd via USPS.
In the end, it took a month to reach me.
And, it came to me without a warranty.

did you have to pay taxes and import duties?

Yes.
I paid US tax $ 55.15
I paid USPS fee $71.75
I paid import tax almost $70
All for the 128 GB pixel 6 with a Pixel bud which I finally sold at almost $90
Wow big taxes! You are hard core! Do you like the phone enough to justify the effort?
I had one colleague a few years back from a small European country who had trouble getting good phones there. He practiced what I call Phone Tourism. He travelled to the US twice a year for work. Each time he would buy a phone or two here at a retail store. So he could always trade up once or twice a year and maybe sell an extra on the side. Never declares anything.
Meanwhile, minutes ago I got a note that my phone just shipped! Too early to know delivery date yet but at least it's moving.
Actually, the phone is not a nice surprise.
It is not as good as I expected and it is not good enough to justify my effort.
I was so naive as to believe the Google release show.

I'm curious what aspects disappointed you. Sorry you don't love it. I jumped into the Pixel party a bit on a lark, since my OP6T's final software update broke a few things and pissed me off. Not certain I will love it like I did my 6T that I kept for three years.

@Frankenscript Don't believe bush911, lol. With the January update, which you should do before anything else, you're gonna really like this device. It's thin, slightly large if you're coming from a P5 but you get used to it. The display is beautiful and the software is working really well. As the monthlies roll out it will even get better. Enjoy it and yes, I do know what it's like to be waiting in anticipation. We've all been there.

There are some minor problems which are really annoying. The on-screen fingerprint reader is not good, I always get a 7 out of 10.
The phone always becomes overheated while doing simple tasks, which never cause similar issues on my previous Pixel 3.
The front camera is not better than the one on Pixel 3, the main camera, the main camera doesn't show much superiority over the pixel3.
I hope all the above issues will be fixed by a future software update

The main reason you don't always wanna buy from Google is their customer support isn't too great. If for any reason you find yourself returning the phone for a repair or trade-in, be sure to take several pictures of it before sending it off. Video of it turning off and on, the speakers working, and the phone being totally reset is also a good idea.
I'm really enjoying my P6P, and they're finally doing better with the bug fixes on it. Congrats on the new phone, hope you like it!
Tracking last night showed delivery today, but I think it missed a handoff and now shows delivery tomorrow. Good enough. Gives me time to sort through my current phone and delete the crap. The problem is what to do with three years worth of original size photos. I'm a pack rat and don't routinely delete stuff.

Save everything to your computer. Get Backup SMS and save all your texts and phone log to an outside source. If you use the Authentication app either make sure you have it copied to another phone or the backup codes for your apps just in case the original craps out in the transfer. Also do a full Google backup when you see it on the truck for delivery. You should be good to go at that point. Oh yeah, copy everything. Delete it if necessary on the new Pixel.
Hi folks the Pixel six is here! Thanks for putting up with my impatience.
Pretty phone but I'd didn't realize how thick it would be! Anyway I'm setting it up. Most stuff transferred easily via the cable method from my old phone. Had some scary moments with Angry Birds 2 until I remembered how to sign in through Google play. But all good now.
I've got to get a better charger though. I thought my OP6T dash charger would do it, but being a USB A device apparently I'm limited by it.
Searching threads here for great info, will try to minimize repetitive questions.

Check out the Pixel 6 pre order thread that I started way back when. Lol..

Hi all, Several lessons out of this thread!
Google as mother company of Android is on top to impose their mandatory services to collect our data, but weak in promoting, selling, shipping and supporting their hard products!
On Android point of view, no doubt that bugs will be fixed in the future and improvements made.
Having said that and coming from Samsung, I got my first google phone P6 at a distributor shop and I'm very happy with it.
I know there is no "ideal" device, however here, my expectations are fulfiled.
Enjoy using our new toy
