I may be pressing my luck here but anyone found a snap on plastic case for the G-tablet? Or know a place where I can have one custom made?
I'm assuming your looking for a shell type case? Me too
I would imagine it may be some time before we see something like that. With all the tabs coming out, manufacturers will be picking the big ticket items and making them for those. Until viewsonic fixes issues and makes this thing hot outta the box, we're still gonna be little fish in the big pond.

Xjarl, I would be more interested in a protective wrap around silicone case. I will buy one the second they are available.
I just found these protective case online.

I did get word that here are in the process of being made/designed and I have had pics for a week or so. Among other things, I choose NOT to bring things up until I have firm knowledge and/or have an them in hand that I can unload. For example; I don't want to say that I MAY have more docks within the week and them not show. I think it's better (and more respectful) to discuss it when it's in hand.
If your like me (and most of you are) when you see something that you want, especially something new and innovative, you WANT IT NOW!!! I am the same way and I'd rather not give false hope to anyone here.
With that being said feel free to pass the word and keep an ear to the ground. I am currently working on more docks (with extra ac adapters) and a verity of cases; leather with and without snaps as well as the 'shell' encasing that you saw above.
Again, I prefer to keep things quiet and to not have to keep up with PM's (and potentially lose any) and to not risk putting my foot in my mouth.
With that being said, I will make it public knowledge AS SOON as I have ANY product in hand that you may want. Also, as of right now; I strictly plan on selling anything I receive at my cost to XDA members. I'm not here to make any profits but only to contribute where I can. If I can't develop or help solve programming issues at least I can front some money and get stuff here for us.
Hope all that makes sense?

I am working to get anything and everything possible here is the states. From what I know those 'shell' cases aren't complete yet. I have a couple of docks and I am expecting a few leather (or PU) cases in a couple weeks. I try to lay low until I actually have firm knowledge or something in my hand as not to create false expectation.
Hope that make sense?
I would love one of those plastic shell cases. Whoever is working on these ought to consider putting some type of stand in the case, similar to the Archos 101.
Any news on this Steve. I see that one supplier has them listed on Alibaba, but after contacting them, they said they were looking for a new supplier.
I'm looking for some experienced Android developers to assist me with a tablet note-taking app. I'm open-sourcing it under the Apache license, but probably will monetize it on the market.
The general idea is to be able to capture a lecture or meeting's audio, and put in text, graphic, and handwritten annotations. Then, when you are replaying the meeting or lecture, you visibly see a waveform of the audio with notes, images, etc. below, describing what is going on and providing more detail.
Notes will be grouped into sections. The app will be designed for API level 11 or higher.
Let me know if you're interested.
Fantastic! This is JUST the kind of app I'll be looking to use. Let me know and I'll gladly beta test for you and be a first day buyer. Good luck!
If you build just the handwriting portion and create a penultimate-like android version, I will buy

Sounds like a good idea for meetings too. Could you insert bookmarks for notes for the audio? So if you're browsing the notes you can jump to that section of audio?

This would be a must have for any college xoom owner, +1 for buying the app
I'm having trouble seeing how this would be useful without an active digitizer and pen..
don't get me wrong, this could still be a very cool app and I hope you get it working
but I don't think I'll be straying from my windows tablet with onenote any time soon
if you got this working on the htc flyer on the other hand, we might have something I could use as my only note taking device for university.
I probably wouldn't buy the flyer anyway though. The xoom is just so much nicer
Edit: Before someone starts saying how I could just get a capacitive pen, you have no idea what you're missing until you've tried a wacom or n-trig pen(especially wacom). It's like night and day.

My roommate has a wacom... I know i can't compete with quality of handwriting on most hardware, but I can make the software easier to use. The easier the software, the better the notes will tend to be, plus I really want the audio to provide a lot of power, with the handwritten, typed, and other inserted notes only supplementing the audio and making it searchable/disoverable.
well.. I look forward to seeing what you come up with =]

i have a capacitive stylus for my ipad and it works beautifully for taking handwritten notes. Penultimate & note taker HD are the best ones imo
I'll buy the first app that rivals Penultimate.
I just looked up penultimate on youtube
it's definitely not bad
but it still doesn't rival onenote
not by a long shot
and I was surprised at well capacitive pens were working for people
but again, it still doesn't really come close to an active digitizer
now, I'm sure this app will still be great
and I could definitely see people using it to quickly describe something to someone or maybe for a few quick notes at a meeting
but there's no way it's going to be able to be used for taking notes at university
I'll stick with my fujitsu tablet
but like I said, I do look forward to seeing what this app will be able to do
it will definitely have it's uses
I've been thinking about making a note taking app myself it would be good to collaborate!

So I asked for money as my Christmas present in hopes of purchasing the Prime. I have been searching YouTube, Google and this forum as well as a few others trying to gather intel. This is my first post but I have been scoping the threads out for weeks now.
I must say, a lot of wind has been let out of my sails. But honestly I am not surprised by the Wifi issues.
My hope was to snag a 32GB champagne (silver) and a transleeve. After reading all the issues on the first batch I have decided to wait until Bestbuy carries them in store. I have already ordered a clear dry-tech back and screen protector from skinomi.com and hopefully this will help the scratching caused by the transleeve but I am still not sure if I will purchase this sleeve.
I'm just curious how many out there are feeling the same as me? I expected issues with the first shipments so I am not giving up, but just disappointed to see the percentage of problems with other items such as screen pixel issues, colors, gps, etc.
I am very glad that some have invested in the technology early enough for individuals like me (and hopefully others) to hold tight, continue to research and review threads and then once purchased, feel very confident in the unit and accessories purchased. This web forum is very very helpful so thank you all for posting your comments, issues, etc.
Let's just hope Best buy gets the units in the next two weeks.
if you actually look at it there are likely alot of people who are not on xda who have the prime without issues and alot of people on xda with no issues the amount of people with issues is likely very small compared to everyone with a working one
My initial excitement has turned to more nervousness as i await shipment due to this forum. Any future product like this (phone or tablet) i will steer clear of the forums until i actually get the product. I am just glad i ordered through best buy so i can just return it to the store if there are problems. If that happens i will probably not get another one and just not buy a tablet at this point in time.
This is true, most people posting are having issues. I wouldn't do much posting if I had a working on hahaha.

I ordered mine from BB on the 23rd and after using it for a bit, I really like it. Mine had none of the issues that were reported so that's good. The only thing now is that there's a lot of lag, and probably because the 5th core is clocked pretty low but once we get some development going, the Prime's gonna be great.

I agree with the others. You've' done your research and you are prepared, but keep in mind you dont hear much from people without probems. For example, I have not even read the wifi threads because I don have a wifi problem.None-my wifi is perfectly fine. My gps is screwy but I just cant imagine a scenario whee Asus doesnt provide a solution for this.
I dont have a scratch on mine, as matter of fact there is not even a single finger print on mine. Ive left it in the plastic wrap/sleeve it came in until I find suitable case. But, its like a new car - its just matter of when, cuz it's bound to happen.
Try not to worry, you've done your homework, you know the product. Enjoy
I was a little worried like you, especially since I have myself convinced that I get a lot of lemon products.
I agree that there are likely far more satisfied Prime owners than the dissatisfied ones on xda.
I received mine today, and I must say, I am quite happy. Everything is fine. Screen's good, body is great, wifi's working fine, GPS locked on right away, and within 5 meters at that. Now, Honeycomb still has its hiccups, but that's another story, and it's not enough to bother me at the moment.
If you'll excuse me, I'm going back to my baby... =]
this is just like the news. they always reporting mostly bad stuff going on. hardly report good things. but we all know more good goes on in the world than bad stuff. its just the negative things that get the most attention. like others, I'm glad ididnt let the negative hype get to me or I would've never bought this tablet. I'm so glad I did. its the Best tablet yet.
I have a Prime with no issues. It's fast, intuitive, fun and I love it. It is my first tablet and first exposure to android, so I realize that I don't have anything to compare it to. I don't have the GPS or wifi issue, I have no light bleed, my browser is fluid and I have not run into any apps that are not compatable. It feels great in my hands - not slippery and my enclosure seems well sealed.
That said, I haven't wanted to get on here and rave about my good fortune when others are experiencing such disappointment. But I do want to make the point that when Asus gets the product right, it's a beautiful tablet that looks & feels amazing and works as designed. $500 is a difficult chunk to spend, even in good times; in my case, it was worth every penny. I wish that was so for everyone because truly, it is hard to enjoy something when you feel like the lucky exception.
I totally understand the hesitation and disappointment, but I just wanted to put it out there (for those still on the fence) that in some cases, (or I should say in MY case) it really is the tablet I was so wrapped up in anticipation of.
In hindsight, I was so petrified and worried that the tablet was going to be riddled with problems, that it has taken me a few days to really let go of the worry and allow myself to enjoy it.
mines perfect. woot!
I'm in the same boat as you, I saw this thing and was all "oh my, why hello there, dream tablet",
but as launch date for the Netherlands neared, the heaps upon heaps of complaints from the US started piling up.
Dodgy Wifi, dead GPS, flaky batterysensors, bleeding screens, vibrator motors coming loose,
all this really got my hairs up and now im on the verge of just giving up.
Ive already taken a bite from a big s*tsandwich a couple years ago by buying into one of the tablet predecessors, the UMPC,
and im afraid im going to be forking out my Christmas funds on a big ol' sour lemon.. again!
I dont want my first tablet to be a harrowing experience of failing hardware and non caring support.
Im a big fan of Asus and id blindly buy any motherboard from these fellas,
but this tablet and the nasty aura its starting to show...
meeeeh I dunno people.. what do we do now?
I would think waiting and buying it locally - where you can return it in a quick trip - might feel more like the ability to "undo" than buying it online.

Thanks for the comments! I am feeling more comfortable with my soon to be purchase. I might order the 32gb Champagne online from BB if it ever comes available, but I would prefer to get it from the store so I don't have to pay a restocking fee if exchanged.
Its more of the quick exchange without hassle I am looking for. If I have issues with it I would take it to BB and exchange it, but if I order it online and take it to the store which doesn't have any I am out of luck on getting an exchange.
In short, was it worth it? YES! I was able to sell my TF101 and dock so that a TF201 and dock only cost me $200 out of pocket. The upgrades are well worth it....
-Everything is quicker including all home scrolling, loading apps, recent apps list scrolling, keyboard typing (no lag at all in chrome!)
-The thinness and weight is noticeable
-Keyboard docking feels more quality (latch)
-Keyboard keys feel more quality, tacky; not as plasticy
-Screen quality is slightly better
-Overall build is great, not creaky
Just a few initial thoughts...... I loved my TF101, don't get me wrong. I used it soooooo much. I'm glad I upgraded. I can't wait for the next one. I hope I can use this dock with the TF700 or whatever it will be called!

Normally, I'd agree with you. But since everybody and their cousin is making new redundant negative threads, why not some new redundant positive threads to counter them? If one goes to any of those negative threads and makes the point about unnecessary redundant posts, one gets flamed as a "fanboy." So, I say, what's good for the goose...

does it affect me? sure..cuz you post crap.."i like the prime" well duh. otherwise you wouldn't have purchased it.
Does it hurt me? no but having to read your rebuttal about "shutting the hell up" your thread does nothing..NOTHING to further the spirit of this forum. why not skip it? how can i when you posted this for no reason but to say what was an already given by your purchase.
And next time..i suggest you maybe use a bit more tacit when replying..and "shut the help up" is just plain rude and ignorant of conversation.
So, kindly refrain from being rude or go sell your prime and get off these forums which are for people wanting to learn about the device itself and not your preference for technology..and go listen to more Hanson.
Wow, looks like the hall monitor got his feelings hurt.....
Ha, "hall monitor"... that's exactly what some people are on this forum. I don't understand why they think they have balls, when clearly they don't.
Anyway, back on topic, just like this thread was when I created it! This is perhaps something I should post in the OG TF forum as well. I was on the fence like many, but wasn't sure. I had posted a thread a while back asking if I should jump ship, and didn't find too many threads on others who had done so.
It has Begun. People who satisfied with Prime n such will make new threads also constantly just like the negative ones. What's useless is 80 negative threads on exact same issue. Now that's what useless. Negative complaint threads either start consolidating or more n more like this one will pop up n easily push negative threads down. Don't get us started..lmao. this section of xda is so funny. Like a soap opera up here all day everyday. SMH

Ok boy wonder. Read the thread. I didn't make the original post. I could care less if he makes a post stating his prime is better then his original transformer. I'm sorry you won't get your 10 seconds of your awesome life back for reading the post. I'm sure it took more time to make your response to the thread then to actually read it and hit the back button. But you know, it's so detrimental to XDA that there is one more useless post in the general section of the Prime forum.
And like my post, your post did NOTHING to further the spirit of this forum. Your post was just as rude and unneeded as mine. Don't act like you're some better person. If there's a thread you don't like, don't respond. It'll get moved down the list and you can go back to enjoying your life that was ruined by a useless post on XDA.
And MMMMMMBop! (I think that's hanson anway)
Monkeyboywa, if this thread doesnt interest you just skip it. I for one am interested in what people feel the diferences are in the 101 ans 201. I am on my 2nd prime and have been trying to decide weather to bail out and go with the 101. So, I got a 101 and have been comparing them for a week trying to decide . What I have found so far is the wifi on the 101 is only 10% better than my 201 ( maybe I got a good prime as far as wifi), but in all else except gps the 201 excells. Video quality is close but I can see the 201 is sharper. So , my feeling at this point that giving up the prime for a 10%improvement in wifi isnt worth it

Your analysis and decision would be the same for me if I was deciding on going back to the TF or hadn't had the TF first. I know after having the TF101 that I couldn't go back.... the improvements are well worth it for me.
Even just typing this right now is so much better on the 201 than the 101.
man..i'm glad I got one too. differently smaller and more streamlined then my old tf101.
I swear it seems faster to. I mean..i'm sooo glad i got it.
It has bad gps..but really who bought this for the ability to find out from google maps where you are?
My wifi is really good too especially with the new .13 patch. The screen has a small bleed problem and one burnt pixel but that's a fry cry from the 1x3in dead zone i had on my first atp.
That better?
Hall monitor? I suppose so when you have people that decide to chime in about nothing..but then again.
Seriously guys, if you want to start this into a flame fest...then go somewhere else. if you want to post..post..but all I said was these forums are already clogged with "omgzogthisisbetterthansex" or "wtfimmasueeveryoneincludingthebabydownthestreet" comments.
Know one good thing about this thread? i dont have to worry about it ever again...going where people actually are contributing.
Had a TF201 for 13days, owned a TF101 that I sold just prior to the Prime purchase. Thankfully I was able to purchase the TF101 back at the same price. The TF201 may very well yet become a great device, time will tell if Asus can get the updates/fixes out, but aside from that IMHO the Prime has some design flaws (ie the MicroSD slot, the full metal jacket, the single speaker) I think many have got way too excited over ICS. Anyone that has used HC I think will not see any huge differance, for all those cell phones on GB sure it's a huge leap forward, but for anyone that has had a tf101 it's a minor update. For me the TF201 is not worth a $250 out of pocket upgrade over the TF101. Before anyone questions the math I had sold my tf101 with dock for $450, and I figure that a tf201 plus dock would come in at about $700

goodbye monkeyboywawa I wont miss you ----talk about usless posts clogging up the forum-
Now back on topic. 101 or 201 this decision is harder than I thought. I replaced my 32gb 201 wth a 64gb because I toasted a 32gb card because of the crap design of the card slot. That and the 32 had really weak wifi
So adding a card to increase memory is impractical unless you get a case that covers the slot. So the 64 201 is $150 more than a 101 + 32gb card. That is enough to buy a dock--- Im not 100% sure the performance boost of the 201 is worth it for what I am going to be using the tablet for. I am, however, noticing a definate lag in response in typing this note on the 101 as opposed to typing on the 201 and its anoying
. Also last night while comparing identical youtube videos side by side the 101 loaded up to 4 sec after the 201 even though I tapped the 101 first. These are both probably a result of the better processor in the 201
All in all I am having a hard time making up my mind
Hello everyone,
I hate this to be my first post. I've tried to research what to do but with a combination of case by base variables and being new to the Smart Phone world I could really use some advice.
Here is the picture of the damage done. I'm with ATT and don't have phone insurance. I'm struggling with multiple facets of life and this happening to my first smart phone within a month makes a grown man want to cry.

Please excuse me cheating on posting a link Admins, I only have the best of Intentions.
The major hit was at the return button. From what I've gathered, the screen is actually adhesively one with the LCD. I briefly talked with a phone repair company who said it would be over 200 dollars.
I looked on ebay and found a lens/screen replacement for $20.00 - ebay[DOT]com/itm/Replacement-NEW-Glass-lens-screen-For-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-i717-Black-TOOLS-/170922060617?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27cbbfab49
Please tell me that this will suffice?
I was using a full sleeve case which needs upgrading as well. I've heard Otterbox recommended several times which I'm thinking about ordering.
Help is much appreciated, and I hope to eventually return the favor to this community once I start to catch up in knowledge.
Thanks,
Kenny

Hopefully one of the elder sages will post and point you in the right direction.. no matter the case, stuff can still happen.. hell, I busted the screen on an iPhone with an Otterbox.. granted the screen hit the corner of a table so that's not a run of the mill issue..
But definitely invest in a decent case, especially if you don't have insurance on your device..
And if you do decide to replace the screen yourself, read, read, read, read and then watch a few videos on how to do it proper.. no need for a risk of making the situation even worse..

The $200 -- LCD, digitizer, and front glass -- are replaced as a unit. Its many screws and parts, but there is a good youtube video for this procedure.
So there's no 30 dollar repair as I've seen mentioned before? It's still functional, will it get worse as I use it? Is there anything I can do to keep it from getting worse?
Please tell me an underwhelming, nondramatic few foot drop mistake isn't going to cost what I essentially make in 2 weeks, doing stressful and labor intensive work. =\
Thanks for the replies.
Three feet is a long way to fall for a $600 piece of some of the most advanced handheld electronics ever made. Pay the $200 and let a professional fix it before you make a bad problem worse and end up with 5 pieces of what used to be a smart phone.
I'm sorry about your your phone. Its happened to all of us at one point or another.
