I'm sorry, what's that?
Maybe some pictures would help me understand? I don't know of what would be plastic and keep you from docking, do you mean your glass screen is starting to flex out along the bottom?
Oh! Do you mean the charge port on the Prime or the dock? If that's the case, then likely not. I think under all circumstances a broken charge port is most likely going to be considered Customer Induced Damage, but you never know until you try.

Wow, maybe it's just the angle but it looks like the entire body has a bend to it. Have you tried bending it back yourself? And is the actual charging port ok, it's just all the metal around it that's deformed?
I have no idea if that'll be covered or not, but if you stand your ground and put it down as fact that you have not mistreated your tablet and that the keyboard and charger are the only things that have been in contact with that area, it's a possibility they'll cover it under warranty. That is crazy bent up, it would honestly be a chore for me to even try and make that happen.
Sorry I'm not of much more help, good luck.
Actually you are right the tablet its Bent a little thanks anyway i guess i will my keyboard

That's wild. Yeah, I don't know how they'd handle that. It would be hard to say the dock bent the entire tablet in that way. Totally sucks, how is the screen, no light-bleed or undue pressure you can notice? Looks like someone might have tried testing its durability a little too much lol

I don't know how the dock would cause that though. Who all lives with you, who else would have access to your tablet? I mean, that almost looks like someone put it on the edge of a table then leaned on it or something: I can not see the dock making that dent.
Do me a favor, check that your dock has all its screws in the hinge. At one point I had problems docking, and almost started to get rough/forceful with it until I decided to look down in the hinge. Below my Prime was one of its screws that had come out and was keeping the tablet from sitting right: you could have had a screw come out, and as you were trying to push/twist/whatever you were hitting the screw in different spots?

I do not know of any silicone cases that can remain totally in position when the tablet is attached to the docking station HOWEVER you can just release the silicone case from the bottom of the tablet and it then fits easily into the dock BUT remember that whilst on the dock the case is bent up at the back of the tablet a little.

You mean like this? Look at pictures.

I'm not quite sure if I understand the pictures well and how this really works ?
Is the Dock also protected by a silicone case or only the Tablet ?
Is it possible to have a retailer link or the manufacturer link for this product to have additional pictures, details and price ?
Thx

There's another piece for the dock. I didn't have it on, though. In fact, I just took the silicone off and put on carbon fiber skin. The silicone added probably 50 pounds to the overall weight.
It's the following skin.
http://www.overstock.com/Electronic...Soft-Gel-Case/6434147/product.html?cid=123620
Just measure very carefully and very very carefully cut out the bottom. Just use your imagination. Look at my pictures again. See how everything fits?
Arobase40 said:
Hmmm, I exercised my imagination pretty hard but couldn't find out the dock piece nor how the silicone gel skin can add "50 POUNDS" (22.68 kg) to the overall weight.
I was also searching on eBay, but couldn't find anything close to the product described on the OP...
The intention was good anyway.

You have a pretty crappy imagination
I think he used 2 modified skins from his link and modified both to fit the hinge and dock.
Also it looks like a decimal was misplaced lol. .50 lbs I could see.

Maybe this is a hilarious question but you DID remove all of the Plugs from the bottom of the Prime before putting it on the dock?
Does the lock slider clicks into the most right position when sliding the Prime into the Dock holding?

Funny, because I couldn't figure out why my Prime wasn't fitting into the dock correctly. I didn't even catch that there were plugs the first time I looked at the bottom.

Mine fits into the dock so snug that it wouldn't even need the latch and it wouldn't move side to side. Definitely sounds like it is physically deformed.

This is really weird, since these parts are machine-made, if it wobbles left to right then it's not just one part that is incorrect, all the 'three' parts have to be loose that connect the tablet to the dock. I cannot imagine it at all.

Surely all the parts are ''machine-made'', and yet we still get problems with light bleed, dead pixels and the like.
Yeah I might take pics hell some guy posted a pic on IRC chat his prime was sent to him without the plastic separators for the pins on the female end of the 40 pin connector all that was their was the straight up copper it would have shorted and bent the pins if he had put his charger in it
But when I get home I will check compared to my other prime to see about this movement it could be the dock but I know for a fact that the charger also wiggles way more then my other one...

I had the same "problem" with my laptop, which had the same material with the Prime.
Saying that, my prime is also does the exact same thing.
Maybe both of our mains supplies are messed up and our electronics are not grounding, let me know if you get hit with 240V?

I have this on my Prime, but I have also had this on other electronic devices with aluminum faceplates or other components, such as certain stereo equipment. I wouldn't worry at all.
Yeah, they kinda made the charger ass backwards lol... I've gotta have my Asus logo upside down so I don't feel it. Tbh I think it felt kinda cool lol but something that's $500 shouldn't be doing that.

I got it as well. Just feels tiny vibrating, just like a rotating HDD.
I guess it's because the chassi is grounded and got a different potential than you.
Just checked and pcw near me have none in stock so I can't just exchange it. I would love to just be able to spend my £500 on a machine that does what it says without all the worry of getting a worst one than I already got.
Shocking with No GPS at all (I get 1 sat then drops off almost instantly), Discovered 2 more dead pixels so thats 4 in total, Only slight light bleed from 1 edge.
I love the performance and speed but am feeling like it's worth less than half a grand.

It does happen, most wont notice it as it just feels like a very very faint vibration.
When its plugged in, run your fingers over the metal kinda lightly, just brushing over it and youll feel a small vibration tingle... its normal apparently, just dont go in the bath with it

I dunno but send me one! The one over the power got hot during recharging and dropped off ... now lost to the void. What are the odds ASUS sending me a replacement... that will not loose grip when hot?

They are a pain in the a$$ to remove. I had 3 Primes and it was always a job getting them out and trying not to scratch something. The TF700 doesn't have the plugs so I guess ASUS got it right this time.
just use a paper clip.... there are small holes in the rubber stoppers that a bent paper clip can get into, and then just pull down. all done without a scratch
I just stuck a push-pin in mine (they had a little hold already) and just use that to lever them out.
Hello, I've found a magnet case on eBay and I wonder if it's safe to use it on the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, or the magnet can damage anything in the tablet? I've liked the case because it's really slim, and seems well built.
Thank you,
Alexandre.

Can't see why not , i use one on my phone and never had any issues with it. Obviously if you look after your device and don't knock it around you should be good.
Hahaha Yeah, I'm really careful with my stuff =) I thought about that because I remembered that on the past you could mess with some TVs by putting a magnet near to it. But if it's safe with a tablet, great =D

My poetic folio style case has magnets to hold the cover closed and I haven't noticed any problems
Covers with magnets don't have any immediate effect. but due to constant hammering on the tab it may create problems later on. so in my opinion y to take risk when u can get better covers
magnets will do no harm.
