Edit: so upon docking the dock got a firmware update. Also a box came up saying asus keyboard needs to be enabled for consistency, seems dock won't work with third party keyboards like thumb for example.

Got mine yesterday. It reminded me exactly why I bought this tablet. It is pure awesome. Together the two are heavy which I like but may be a negative for some. I couldn't be happier though.

It tells you to switch to asus keyboard, but its not necessary. The og transformer did same popup but I was able to use thumb kb still.

Man, you ordered yesterday and got it today? I just checked and it says they're out of stock again.
Edit: Nvm. Just ordered it from Best Buy.

I ordered on Wed night but 2day Air from Newegg means I won't get it til Monday since UPS does not delivery on Saturday unless requested and Newegg didn't have any options for that. Blargh! It's in Laurel MD right now and I wish I could just drive over there from Northern VA, haha.

Is there a reason the Champagne version is not shipping? I haven't heard anything on that.

Okay I like the dock... It's like a cool stand/case/extended battery.. But idk the keyboard just doesn't give enough when typing for my style... Like they keys don't push down enough... Also whenever I type the track pad is so sensitive that it moves the mouse and clicks it while I'm typing... Messing up some words...

Try Best Buy, they are in stock in most stores around here (Montreal). The kb/dock is totally worth it. Good luck!

Asus Leather Sleeve in the Wild

Hi guys,
When I ordered my TF from the store, the sales rep told me they would get me a case with it too. But when everything else came (ie, the keyboard and the tablet), they didn't have a case for me, so instead they gave me this leather sleeve that fits the TF perfectly. I think I'm actually more satisfied with this one seeing all the negative reviews of the stock Asus case. Check it out...

Hope you guys can see those. It's my first time posting images on tapatalk. Anyway, the sleeve barely fits with the keyboard. It kind of stretches the sleeve with the bumps and feet on the TF though, so I don't know if I should be fitting them both in there... what are your thoughts?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
Like it! Where can I get one?
Is there a part number or model number on the sleeve?
I digg that case. I'm in the UK. Any ideas where to find one? I can't believe how poor the case/cover selection is for this tablet.
white learther sleeve
I got a free white leather sleeve from Asus. White? It looks good, but in a few weeks it will be very dirty. I live in Taiwan and Asus gave me the sleevebecause of the messy preorder.
Is there a part number or model number on the white sleeve?
I wouldnt mind one of these either.....
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
I am also interested to know where I can find one of these!!
so how about someone tells us where we can get these products
Mine came included in the box. Ordered from Taiwan.

Sorry guys. Sent i really have no idea. The sleeve itself has no tag numbee or model number on it. It only says asus on it.

I've bought from the same seller but I did not received one. I asked him about it and he sai he got some from Asus because they could not supply in time. He also said there is no way to get them retail
If anyone isn't using their case, I'd be willing to buy it from you. Please let me know, I live in Canada.

I might be getting an extra one for free, but at the end of june; so I can probably sell it. PM me and let me know. I'll also be getting an extra keyboard dock.

I believe this was included in some markets. Also dependant on the reseller. But that's what I remember from way back in the early days of this forum....

I want a case with an opening of some sort for the charger. This does look pretty nice though. Is it real leather or is it synthetic leather?
My pre order was messy.
I Want one, Asus!!!

In for a cancellation.
Canceled, only one went through so I went back and found a purple and a smoke for 1¢, see if it goes. Also found some 4g slide cases for a penny.
amaze
Checking it out, woot! thanks for the share, I'll reply back with review if I get it!
I blamed at amazon and the store for the False advertisement or error.
They should have said ERROR, not a false Out of stock message. The store said the error was from amazon.
I found another company on Amazon selling them for a penny too. You have to pay for shipping but hey....its less then what ive been seeing. I've ordered mine and havent received a message about it being oversold.
it would be great if someone is able to compare this tpu case with Diztronic TPU Case.
Sale back on! Just ordered 3

Last time LowerpriceUSA had a sale on screen protectors for .1 plus free shipping I ordered 5 of them.
They took the 5 cents then sent me a plastic stylus and a letter apologizing for an Amazon technical difficulty.
It was too much of a hassle to send the stylus back.
But anyway just thought I'd throw that out there.
And the stylus doesn't even work. My phone won't register a touch when I try using it.
Good luck.

Anyone who already got the Asus Original Sleeve?

If you already received the Asus sleeve please write your thoughts, videos,pictures, about it.
Thanks!

Dont get it.. its not as useful as i hope. NOthing like the Smart Cover, it has only 2 set ups both in landscape, it doesnt cover the back, and its an hassle to use while charging. Also if you plan on getting the keyboard dock also it would be useless
I agree, it sucks hard. Sending mine back next week.

that bad huh? guess ill pass on these.
wow, if its that bad maybe I should send mine back too, its coming tomorrow, but what alternatives are there that aren't bulky?
I actually like it. Not sure what problem with charging while it's attached, mine is easily plugged in. I like it because it's nice and thin, and I'm not terribly worried about the back getting scuffed up. I might be unusual in that regard, tho.

I find it very useful. Use my TP about 7-9 hours a day straight and it works in great form presentations to movies to typing. It'd all how u want to look at it. If you think it's garbage you will see it only like that. I have a backside protector and it won't ever scratch etc. You just can't charge it while it's in the high position.

How easy can you unhook the cover? I'd like to get it to protect the screen from my cats stepping on it while at home, but put the Prime in a leather case when traveling with it.

the hinges on my sleeve literally fell a part. the metal hinges also left scuff marks and a square shaped chip on the back of my prime.

I have a back protector but I understand the marks on the back.. I can see it slightly on my protector..
I put thick tape where the hinges would go but I dont like the cheap feel of it and for 40 bucks I already asked for RMA.

Already got the Asus sleeve from amazon and the first think I did before I applied was to put some thick tape on the hinge. After that also putted a very small pice on the back of the tablet and now is working great I don't have the risk of any scratch type.
I think is a good product with its flaws but it's overpriced

I want a view 4g!

I lucked out on my chance to get a view 4g from one sale a day, does anyone know if they'll go back on sale for the 230$ price?

I monitor www.SlickDeals.net for all the latest deals.
But be warned; some are reporting that very recent shipments are arriving with Honeycomb already loaded and locked!
Here's a link to the dealer I bought mine from: 1saleAday on Ebay. They are now marketing them in Ebay.
Rumor has it that they are supposed to go down to $199 but nothing official has been released. If they pop up for $230, I would just jump on it because you may miss out waiting on $199. Now Im just waiting on a deal for the oficial pen. $49.99 is just a little too steep.
So far, its not a great tablet but it isn't bad for less then $250. Even though it's thicker then a NC/NT, I would rather have the View for it's built in GPS and Bluetooth with some range. I already have my solution for 3G figured out. I just put a BoxWave screen protector and am looking for a nice case. I wish they would have Soft touched the whole body.

Looking at their site for what they have for the og transformer, looks like they are the same generic cases all over amazon.

Awesome, thanks for the heads up, I'm going to preorder the hemp one
FINALLY!
Those buying ... make sure you check out Quidco or other cashback sites first ... I seem to recall there were pretty good deals to be had.
That case looks awesome! The prices are super expensive though?! 70 British Pounds? Yikes!
Is there anything similar from other manufacturers meant for keyboard / tablets? Is this not the EXACT same thing as the miniSuit case?
Yeah, the leather ones are pretty similar ...
I was after the Hemp style one though, which is cheaper and looks different to the swathe of other cases out there.
I've just pre-ordered one and when it turns up I'll take a load of pictures and post a mini review for those interested.
It looks to me to be the same as this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Keyborad-Le...AU_TabletAccessories&hash=item256c0b85c3#shId
Can anyone confirm?
