well, I am looking forward to buying this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...17145&creative=399349&creativeASIN=B004V949OO
But right now its little pricey.
I ordered mine from here, and opted for standard USPS First Class Mail shipping.
http://www.upgradenation.com/775435/asus-notebook-accessory-90-ok00bg00010-tf101.html
Total came to $51.55, certainly not cheap. It will take a week to reach me, however, I have the exact same type of case for my Ipad 2 and it is a superior product, worth waiting for. Fits the unit like a glove, with no sag or slack, all major switches and ports remain accessible, works well as a stand and exudes quality throughout.
Amazon has it for $39.99 and with discount coupon I had for $10, it came out to $29 bucks, with 2 day shipping, FREE!
Amazon doesn't have it in stock, so I ordered from this website posted in a different thread:
http://www.excaliberpc.com/605684/asus-eee-pad-transformer-tf101.html
$46 was the total shipped, USPS Priority Mail, but I'm not getting a dock and this is the only real option for a true tablet case at the moment.
w00t! Finally in stock BY Amazon!
Got it with Prime. $39.99, no tax, free 2 day shipping! $39.99!
You sure about that? You can buy it, but the estimated ship date is 1-3 weeks.

Damn you're right.
A few hours ago, you couldn't order it from Amazon, now you can. I put my order in but it says shipping May 11-13.
Oh well. No tax, free ship. Best place to buy right now.

Excaliberpc is doing preorders on even the 16gb. They're selling it for $50 over retail on Ebay, I doubt they have the sleeve in stock.

ExcaliburPC is putting a ton of listings on ebay all "preorders" for may, and marking it up too.
Very annoying. If I was a customer of theirs, I'd stop being one.
Yeah, but the TF101 is listed as Pre-order, and the sleeves are listed as being in stock with a certain number left (19 to be exact), and the base price is the retail price of $39.99. If it doesn't ship by Friday I'll get a refund.

Let us know if and when you get a tracking number. Hopefully my patience can hold out saving $10 on shipping, plus tax since they're in cali.
My compliments to those of you who landed this fish for less than I did.. I'm always impressed by the frugal souls on XDA, and hope my children emulate your example.
My sleeve has just shipped (rather faster than I expected), and I'll see it by Saturday, not too shabby. The main thing is that we're all getting the very best Transformer case currently available. Just take care of that velour exterior, which feels wonderful to the touch but tends to attract lint etc.

I cited this link earlier in this thread. Had never heard of this place before, but they had stock, albeit not at a competitive price. Decided to go for it since I can vouch for the quality of the case which, in design and materials, is identical to that I use with my Ipad 2.
BTW, many thanks again to Donatom3 for lighting my path to PC Richards. That worked out!

Out of curiosity, what is it made of?
I got it from a auth seller on Amazon. Cost me a 25% mark up but UPS should deliver it along with my tf in a few hours. will post some pics.
Ok, so I am sure a new thread is probably not the best way to put this out there, but wanted to get the word out in case it hasn't yet...
Just got confirmation that monoprice will be shipping MHL adapters that work with the EVO 3D and other phones shortly. I had sent a request about 2 months ago and they just sent me an email back today that they are going to be shipping them and to look at PID 8675.
Hope that helps everyone as monoprice has been my place for cables for many years now. Absolute top quality cables, top customer service and their prices are unmatched.

That's disappointing. I was hoping for a bargain by comparison with T-Mobile.
I am happy with my T-Mo branded mhl adaptor. Even if didn't have one yet, and Monoprice had them available, I'd still buy the T-Mo brand just for piece of mind knowing that it isn't some cheap no-name knock-off .....

I agree with you. I've had good luck with micro, mini, and regular usb. Also my hdmi to micro hdmi worked well. Just with quite a few people reporting issues with their mhl adaptor, I'd rather spend 3 or 4 dollars more and get a name-brand one. I'll always use Monoprice for generic cables though, their price is just unbeatable!!
Anyway, Monoprice mhl may work perfect, and I hope they do. That's just my thoughts and opinion on it....

"Name Brand" one?
Dude, these are all made in China...it only depends on how bad each company wants to rape us, as to what they charge for it..
These things don't cost more than a dollar or 2 to make...
For those that can't for some reason or another order from T-Mobile, expansys is also selling them for $20 shipped:
http://www.expansys-usa.com/expansys-mhl-to-hdmi-adapter-black-218572/
I'm still waiting for a better bargain. I would have bought one from T-Mobile with the 50% coupon from last week - but I called 5 stores (showed up at 2) and couldn't find it. The coupon appeared to only apply in-store.

Yeah, me too..Eventually, these will be 10 bucks or less, so its just a matter of waiting a bit.
The phone manufacturers should have included these with the phones....
Monoprice finally got theirs in. Was $22 after S&H and tax. Ships today if ordered before 2pm Pacific.

The T-mobile one isn't from any recognizable brand anyway, it looks exactly like the one Expansys is selling, comes in an unsealed bag, and just says MHL & made in China on it... Works fine though. What I'd like is one that doesn't require an extra power cable, could it somehow draw power from the phone for short viewings? There's probably no spec for that, I understand eventually MHL equipped TVs will obviate the need for these powered adapters but it'll literally be years before they're commonplace.
Hi all,
I currently have a perfect condition TB w/ 2 stock oem 1400mah batteries, 2 amazon 1600mah batteries, an oem extended 2750 battery, and an external charger that can charge all of the batteries listed above. I also have the original boxing for it all too, ESN is clean, 32GB SD, SIM ,original charger, and a 6ft gigaware charging chord.
Everything works absolutely perfect and was wondering what I should price this at if i put it on eBay???

Half that at least. Nobody is going to pay that for all that when they can get the phone brand new and still buy spare batteries for $250, give or take. No offense, but what is a normal person going to do with 5 batteries, 3 of which make a thick phone into a complete brick.
Here's who you're likely selling to....
The guy who just killed his Tbolt, and the guy who wants to get one for the first time. The guy who just killed his, if he has a brain, will just get the insurance replacement for $100. They guy who's never had one will walk in and pick up a new phone for $200 and wait to see how crappy the battery REALLY is before forking out for a bigger battery. I think you'd be doing pretty good to tempt the guy wanting a new one at the bargain basement price of $175 obo.
Just my opinion....

First of all, the 1600's don't make the phone bigger. At all. They are the exact same size as the stock batteries.
Second of all, the 2750 does not make the phone a brick at all. Ask anyone who has it.
Third, the amount of batteries is for people who travel. Like myself.
Lastly, there are currently people on Craigslist and eBay who are selling JUST THE PHONE for 300, I have an add for all that for 350.

Yeah I would think you could get at least $250-$300 and maybe a bit more. If someone is wanting to buy off contract they are going to be looking at close to a $600 price tag if they went through VZW. So I don't think something around $300 is too high for a like new phone.

Personall, don't sell it in a bundle, sell the phone with maybe the 2 amazon batteries, than everything else separate. Bu that's just me!
Sent by a rooted Thunderbolt.
Ya, if I were you I would part it all out (just like people chop up cars), because you can get more for each part then selling it as a bundle.
Since the cost of new one has been coming down, you may be able to get more by selling everything separately. I'm sure there are people out there who may want to get a good deal on a battery or two and not get the phone and vice versa.
Anyways good luck.
well, i just sold an HD2 for $250 on tuesday...
which i believe is probably what i bought it for on craigslist 2 years ago,
i'd say you could do at least $300 w/ all that stuff included considering that it's still Verizon's best phone and no contract required
Does anyone think i could sell all things separately on ebay and actually sell them ALL
delivered via Zeus' finger
I bought my TB off Ebay brand new for $250... I don't see why you could not get that or more for the bundle. Just check the current listings and see what the average TB is going for and place yours in that price range.
The right buyer will pay whatever you want but the hard part is finding the buyer.

Number one reason is the wait to get your phone back can be a week or two weeks sometimes a month the program is good but I can't go that long without my phone
Ask sprint about their options I think if you are just worried about cracked screens and stuff you can get protection through them for.that at like 4 bucks a month. If I am wrong someone interject. Reason I say 4 is I don't think the tep has raised yet and if u lock it in now it won't raise till you resign...
I do not have Black Tie but I heard that its pretty awful. At times they do not honor replacements.
Google it for more info.
I have Black Tie, but I gotta tell you: the whole "free loaner phone if yours has to be special ordered"? Count on rocking a crappy old Android or a BlackBerry for a little bit if your phone can't be initially just fixed....
Here's the rub: yours IS gonna have to be special ordered, if you need a replacement, no matter if your Best Buy has 500 new EVOs in stock: they won't let you have one of theirs. For me, for the times I had to use it, I waited about 2 weeks the first time (because it was "backordered", even though my Best Buy had plenty), and about 3 days the second.
Of course, you also are also DEFINITELY getting a refurb, count on that 100%.
*I still use it, like I said, but the guy at Best Buy won't tell you all these little "details", which, I think, is a bit shady.

I waited a month for a broken charger port on my OG Evo. Seemed like an eternity. Got it back and found that while they fixed the port, they blew out the light on the menu button (looked like it was missing a tooth) . Wasn't going to wait again with a beat up small lender phone.

I actually just dropped sprints insurance and am going to straight up buy the black tie insurance for $170 for the 2 year protection. How sprint is Jacking up the price on everything you would be paying $264 for 2 years not including the $150-$200 deductible. Hell if I can save $100-$250 with BB with a refurbished phone and wait 2 weeks its worth it.

I had the black tie protection and I'll tell you why it isn't so hot.
First, doesn't cover lost or stolen phones.
Second, loaner phones require a $150 deposit.
Third, when I used the insurance to fix a broken charging port, I sent the phone in on Jan 2nd. The phone came back unrepaired 3 times. I finally got a replacement phone the second week of February. Believe me, I would have gladly gave a hundred dollars for a replacement from sprint.
Learned my lesson on best buy protection.

The 4$ is still the same for service and repairs. However the replacement part of the TEP has gone up i believe.
And no the TEP will be raised for everyone but only in September if you sign up for TEP before july 17th.

I work for Best Buy and am very familiar with the GSBTP plans (Geek Squad Black Tie Protection). What I am about to say is my own opinion and not that of Best Buy's.
That being said, I am going to give you an unbiased opinion on this because I see both sides to what you guys are saying. I bought my phone outright from BBY 2 days ago. Did I buy GSBTP? No, here is why: I like the lost or stolen option from Asurion/Sprint and I never had to use it until 2 weeks ago when someone stole my EVO 3D from my store. I tried remote locating it and all that crap and it didn't help. Paid the deductible through Asurion (should have been $100 but they told me $50) and got a replacement the next day.
As far as what GSBTP offers, yeah, it's not bad. But there are some things that need clarified in what has been said in this thread. The replacements now are all "Rapid Exchange", as in, you come into BBY and we fill out all the paperwork to get you a new phone. What happens is that the system then generates and order for a refurbished phone to be shipped that day while we send yours back to them at the same time. This means that you will get a new phone within 3 business days, not too bad.
However, the loaner phones are pretty crappy, as mentioned. But stores are suppose to charge you $50 for the loaner phone that gets returned back to you after you return it. They don't all do that, but they are supposed to, so keep that in mind that YMMV.
Everything else in the OP is right. BBY won't deny a claim unless you fully submerged it, nor would they even know that unless you told them. There is a girl at my store that literally drops and shatters her iPhone screen atleast 2 times a month and it's been happening for over a year now, never had an issue. Also, with GSPTB, you are entitled to a 1-time battery replacement on your phone as well which is awesome, but unfortunately doesn't apply to phones without removable batteries.
Hopefully this clarified things for you guys and gave you an idea of both sides to the GSBTP story
@-viperboy-
Thank you for the clarification.

So I'm curious, am I the only one nuts enough to considering selling his GS3(probably on ebay) for the 4-500 price to get Note 2?
I've recently gotten an itch for a tablet but don't see the need of one when I've got my phone and really think this would be a nice in between for the two.
Lots of people have just look through the other threads and you'll see a ton.
My s3 is pending pickup tomorrow

I'm actually a salesman for a VZW Retailer, I'm waiting to see how the rest of this week goes before I make the decision.
sold my s3 yesterday for $400 - gnote on the way. UR not crazy
Definitely the right choice. The pen changes everything…if you like retouching and doodling
Gs3 sold last month and have been using this stupid iPhone ever since preordering.
I am also definitely selling my s3 for the Note 2. My only problem is i don't have a back up phone and have to buy the Note first before I can sell my s3. How are you guys selling it for $400. Mine is absolutely mint and everyone on CL low balls at around $300. If i can get $350 i would be happy since i bought mine at full retail.

you should be able to get 400 easy...hell gs3's with cracked screens are going for 300. Ignore the lowballers!
That's good to hear and know. Maybe ill try ebay. I hate not having the instant cash but just saw a blue s3 going for $405 with multiple bids and like 2 days left. I mean my accessories in the box and still in their plastic.

Price it for $395 with many CLEAR pics. Mine sold in 15 minutes with the guy coming to me. Also, if you need an interim phone, buy a thunderbolt and a sim adapter. I paid $50 for my thunderbolt on CL. Many are going for $80 - $120. You can just resell it when done and lose your $3.00 sim adapter investment
If you sell on ebay be sure to make it known that you are verifying the condition of the device with photos and video before shipment. That will discourage the scammers from trying to swap with a busted device and then sticking you for the money. Or even better when they break it within the first day and try to claim you sent a a damaged item.
Otherwise you can get burned because ebay will usually side with the buyer on any dispute. I learned the hard way with a previous smart phone sale. Took a month to get my money back along with a busted phone.

Just know that on eBay you have a lot more in fees, even if it sells for $50 more on eBay most of that will end up being paid to eBay/PayPal anyways.

It's not "most" but I've noticed the fees end up being around 12%

I sold a Nexus 7 16gig for $120 and a iPhone 4 for $120 yesterday but I was impatient. If I was smart I would have off loaded that Nexus 7 a few months ago. Still a nice tablet hands down but I want to focus on one device and that's the Note 2.
