Looks like Abe's of Main has the gray docking station in stock
http://cameras.abesofmaine.com/search#w=transformer prime&asug=
The site also says the Gray 64GB tablet available in 2 to 3 days.
Champagne dock, 32GB tablets in both colors, and 64GB tablet in champagne showing as available in 4 to 6 days.
their return policy seems really tough
Looks like they are in stock, but they have horrible reviews all over the place.
Just placed an order for the grey dock, hopefully it will be here next Tuesday when my TFP is delivered from Best Buy! Thanks for the post!
How reliable is this estimate? Anyone order from them before?
I ordered a champagne dock so let's see.
BTW found these
$5 Off $75 or more Use Abe's of Maine Coupon Code ABESAVES5
$11 off $150 or more Use Abe's of Maine Coupon DEALPRO11
$10 off $150 or more Use Abe's of Maine Coupon Code ABESAVES or LOYALTY10
I tried to use the 11 one by adding a mini hdmi cable to put me over 150 but it kept taking the free shipping away and trying to add 9 dollars in shipping so I just used the 5 dollar one off...

I've bought 3 cameras from Abe's with absolutely no problems in the past. Just ordered this dock. Thanks so much for finding this. My Amazon order is now canceled. Woohoo!

Nice job on finding the coupon codes.
As for reliability, I've ordered from them in the past, but it was awhile ago. So hard to know how accurate their shipping time estimates are.
*edit* my mistake got excited and made a mistake.

omg, I got all lined up to buy a dock before they were gone, then right before I hit submit I looked again at the price and was like, wait even with shipping this is high, then I realized they are selling these docks for $300.
What a bunch of crooks, selling it for twice what its worth.
I want it and I want it bad, but not enough to pay twice as much as it cost. I could buy a reg transformer for that.

You sure you didn't just put 2 in your cart? I ordered the dock with overnight and it only cost me $192.

Well I hope they actually ship it overnight. It was an f-load of money to overnight it. I will be calling tomorrow to make sure they will get it here by Saturday. If not, I plan on cancelling.

Thank you!!!
Ordered 2 day shipping and hoping it will arrive with my prime next Wednesday.
So people have had success with Abe's before?
Kinda scared, but pulled the trigger.
Thanks OP
Yeah Baby!
Guess it's no news that docks are sold out everywhere at the moment, and I have been waiting on Gamestop, who let my dock order date slip, then slip further, then they pulled the est. date entirely! Got all over their case today, and corporate calls me (I actually got an email through to CEO Paul Raines. LOL!) and tells me "It's not released yet, and won't be until end of January!" This from VP of logistics.. so I KNEW I was screwed if she didn't know what was going on.
Super happy to have this placed, got 2-3 days shipping, should arrive right within a day of my FREE Prime. (Yep... I got full credit from an unnamed retailer for F%$ing me up so bad it was a crying shame.) Now stop ordering these, so they don't screw up and oversell the stock!!! LOL!

Thanks for the feedback!! I've google their reviews, and its fair reviews in my opinion. Some really good, and some not so good. I ordered the dock, and the 64gb. Will cancel my amazon and expansys after I get a tracking #. Amazon, Expansys, and FRY's quotes me late January. Expect FRY's no ETA at all. Hoppefully I dont get an email in a few days saying backordered!! One good thing is there is no tax, I saved $55 of tax on the tablet. My total for dock and tablet was
Subtotal: $ 755.18
Price Discount: $ -11.00
Shipping: $ 0.00
Tax: $ 0.00
Total;: $ 744.18
I trust Abes of Maine from when I purchased a Camera a few years ago. The fact they accept paypal is nice too. I also canceled my Amazon dock order since it has a Feb estimated ship date and I figure even a back ordered dock through Abes will get here before February.
Amazon must have a ton of these things and the tablets preordered. Their estimated dates are so far out.
Pulled the trigger at Abe's too. Hope it works out Thanks OP!!

I hope you're right. Based on your post I just ordered a grey 64 GB Prime.
I didn't post about Abe's earlier because I found the negative reviews as well.

All the nice portfolio cases (roocase & tuf-luv) are going to be out in July.
I'm looking for a really cheap one to hold me over. I hope to get one fast (hopefully from within US) for under $20 including shipping. Anybody seen anything?
This one is supposed to be pretty good.

if you search ebay for " SOLO iPad and e-Reader Jacket - Black/Blue" you find it for 17 bucks.
I ordered mine but am still waiting for delivery. Anyone else got this since the last thread was last bumped?
RooCase is available for shipping ??!!
Roocase is pre-order on Amazon thru PCMicroStore (July shipping). But they're available on PCMicroStore website directly:
Just search for "asus transformer" on their website (I can't post a direct link).
It has free S/H, so about the same cost as buying via Amazon.
I used this coupon code for 20% off "20OFFTABLET". So it's about $25 shipped. I believe the code lasts for first 1000 users.
Just ordered, so don't know if it will ship soon.

Thanks for the info! I ordered the black folding case. I'm hoping it's thin enough to fit inside the Case Logic netbook sleeve I bought from Amazon, so I can have some extra padding for it during transport.
I got the solo. It's quite well padded but a little pricey and it doesn't stand up on its own.
anyone get their hands on the roocase yet? is it well padded? it's hard to tell from the picture.
Hm, trying to decide between the executive and the multi angle. Does anyone have an opinion on whether or not one uses an angle other than 45 degrees for viewing on a table?
I ordered my roocase last night and since then, they changed it to preorder, shipping on 7/11.The rep stated they are waiting for them to come from China. That's too long to wait so I cancelled my order.
If there's one thing I hate, it's a site that says an item is in stock when it is not (and, in this case, apparently never was). I cancelled my order, too.
My rooCase pre-order availability date from Amazon moved from July 11 to June 30. Interesting...
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
I've been watching the RooCase on Amazon. It was July 3rd, last week then up to July 11th. Hopefully June 30th is actually the date. I need to get my order in.
For anyone looking for more detailed pictures, it's probably going to be very similar to their cases for the Xoom seen here:

Bring on the cheap cases
There's a couple of auctions on ebay one @$13.69 shipped and one @$15.68 shipped. Both sellers are from California.
I think we are at the point where the Transformer accessories aftermarket is beginning to settle in.
Now we just need those chargers and cables.

I dunno, by the time you receive this shipment you could have just preordered either one of the rooCASE or the Case Crown cases that are coming out in 1-2 weeks and shipping from within the US. Also, if you do have to ditch the first case, it is $15 wasted.

I tried going the sprint route with premier discount, but as I only need one igrip and Sprint requires 2 items to qualify for the discount, factoring in sale tax it comes out to nearly $40 w tax for the igrip + the cheapest 2nd accessory for any phone i can find to qualify for the premier discount, so I end up going for online, as I didn't need it right away and can afford to wait.
I also ordered one last week and received shipping confirmation today, with delivery confirmation number. Pretty good deal if you ask me

Ok, I will be the one to ask, will this work with any cases? OB defender in particular? Thanks,

NO it will not work with OB defender, the defender is too big.
It is compatible with SOME thinner cases, there's a removable insert, take out the insert to use the dock with cases, install the insert to use with naked phone
it will work with TPU cases, some reported that it also works with thin hard case, check the other threads about iGrip or Car Docks
thanks.

Correct. You'll need to purchase one separately. I've been using the car dock for about a week now. I have a thin carbon fiber look hard case on my EVO 3D and it fits perfectly when you take out the insert in the car dock.
Thanks OP, I just ordered mine as well.
I already have the official HTC car dock, I'll compare them and keep the one I think is better.
Just FYI, ABE's have a few TF201 on stock right now... http://www.abesofmaine.com/item.do?item=ASTF201-B1-CG&id=ASTF201-B1-CG&&kbid=TF201

Good. The more people who get the champagne, the more likely we are to see the champagne dock sooner. Or so one would hope...
Yup, mine is being delivered tomorrow from Abe's - whew!
Very disappointed that ABE's jacked the price over $500. I buy from them quite often because they're located about 10 miles from house in NJ, and usually have great prices.

It may have something to do with the cost of excessive calls from people like us. When I called yesterday about the docks I detected a hint of what I'll call Prime Fatigue -- "Oh for the Primes? We've been waiting just like you guys."
I bought the dock from them also, they shipped yesterday... Gray one.
Yikes! ICS Rocks...
So glad I canceled them 2 weeks ago for the keyboard dock. Ordered on Newegg the same week when someone here posted they were in stock ahead of Newegg's own auto-notify emailer.
Arrived this passed Monday right before the ICS update.
Whats the cheapest place to get the TF101 dock shipped to canada?
I bought mine at CompUSA refurbished for $114.00 and have had no problems. 90 day warranty-CompUSA and I think a 1 year with Asus, although I dont know if they ship to Canada, but, it is definitely worth while to take a look at.
$112 from Amazon used. That's pretty cheap and Amazon has a great return policy
http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-list...?ie=UTF8&qid=1330648389&sr=8-1&condition=used
I found this:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/ASUS-EEE-TRA...ccessories&hash=item4600ddc3b1#ht_1969wt_1272
$95.99 + $9.99 shipping + 13% tax = $120 (canadian seller). Do you think thats a good deal for a refurbished ? The problem with amazon and compusa for it to ship to canada is like another $20
$137 taxes and shipping in, thinking about pulling the trigger myself!

Staples has them for about $100 and i got mine a few months back
I just bought a brand new one from ebay for $115. There's a few more in stock.
Got mine from B&H yesterday. Got the tablet at bestbuy for 400. B&H has it new for 350. Sucks I forgot to look their first.
At b& h photo it says that the 32gb tf101 has been discontinued!

Dock
I bought mine from Best Buy for $150. I wish I would have bought mine off Amazon. I see new ones around $100. For anyone looking I would try there first.
I had ordered a used dock from B&H for $95...They actually sent me a used TF101 instead! So now the wife is a proud owner of a tablet.
Still no keyboard dock though. It kills me that the price isn't closer to $100, but I acknowledge that no other docking keyboard has the extra battery life.
Newegg currently has new dock for 129.99, refurbished for 119.99
They also have refurbished TF101 for 289.99. The sale started just today.
Amazon has new dock for 124.06. "Used - Very good" for 112.89 and "used - like new" for 115.38
If you are going to buy used, get the ones being sold directly by Amazon(aka eligible for free shipping or Prime) as Amazon has amazing return policy and quality guarantee on even used items.
"Used - Like New" is supposed to be in perfect physical condition according to Amazon's own definition of it. If what you receive isn't in perfect physical condition, even a little scratch, call up Amazon and they will give you a partial refund to make up for it.
www.bhphotovideo.com is doing even better. I got my used TF101 for $250 and the keyboard dock for $116 new.
They also have the TF101 new for $350 which is the best price I've seen for a new one.
Used has a 30 day return, 90 day warranty.
Just ordered my dock of the AAFES exchange website, usually 145 but a 17 percent April 1st coupon brought it down to 120.35. Pretty good deal if your eligible or know someone who is in the military. BTW the coupon is site wide but the only Transformer things they carry is the dock and a case
Or, like I said above, you could get it for $117 with free shipping, just need to be breathing to be eligible.

Yea that's probably the best price for a brand new dock(other than ebay) but it really depends on where you live. B&H's free shipping would be incredibly slow for me since it has to go from NY to CA.
I get free 2 day shipping at both NewEgg and Amazon but I prefer Amazon cuz of no tax lol.
Saving a few bucks is not worth waiting a week for it.
Makes sense. I get it in two days because I'm east coast.
Got a dock for $50 from a dumbass on ebay with a bad charger. He blamed it on his dock. When I got it, the dock worked flawlessly. I'm using it right now.
