Noticed that first the case review thread was deleted and now a thread about the e-crap site including a post about the review thread being deleted was deleted.
Now theres a nice confusing post. But seriously what gives?

The good folks at xda have temporarily taken the thread down for review.
This really stinks. I had that thread bookmarked so I can go over it later as it has a lot more images than the e-crap website does, as well as a great write up for each case. I hope they re-instate the thread as it was very informative for us just getting the tablet from the Woot sale.
Hmmm. Hopefully they will reinstate the thread and allow Steve to continue operating here: he has done a great deal to help the XDA g tablet community get our hands on accessories, some of which might not even have existed without his efforts.
I actually ordered something from there yesterday. I was a little leary since i hadn't heard about it before. Hopefully all is well.

I wouldn't worry about placing an order, looks as though quite a few people have done business with Steve. I plan to as soon as the latest shipment comes in.
I'm gonna take a guess that the whole thread removal has something to do with a developer reviewing and selling product. I for one appreciate his efforts and am OK with this situation, if that is indeed the problem.

I ordered from him last week. Fast shipment and responded super quick to all my questions. Overall great guy and great experience. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from him again. Not sure why the post was just removed as its been up for a while.
Cool. I will review the CLIP folio when I get it. Thanks guys.
I'm looking for the P4 case review but looks like the same thread is missing. Hopefully it will be back up soon. Anyone has any experience with that case?
I was watching that thread waiting for the black clip cases to be in stock. Where can I get that information now?

I just received the dock today, and I to am waiting for the black clip. I guess I am subscribed since the only link I see on the site is to unsubscribe.

I'll second that.
Steve is a stand up guy. I have bought a couple of accessories from him with no problems - he was very quick in fact - and watched many others here do likewise. I have yet to see anybody write a bad word about him.
If the thread was pulled, it is most likely on a forum posting rules issue: there is actually a Marketplace forum on XDA somewhere - anybody here actually check that forum?? - and it may be that his cases thread should be in there, according to the rules.
Thing is you need several posts to even read that forum. I can't remember the last time I went there and I would guess quite a few folks in here would say the same.
Yep. I have purchased from that site as well. Fast shipping and fair prices. Plus I liked the review thread because it gave good information and was not what I would call just marketing.
Steve also posts over at AndroidTablet, and there is a review thread there as well
I'm disappointed by this as well, because I too had the thread bookmarked. I don't have enough posts to use the XDA marketplace, and I don't like to make BS posts just bump my post-count. If I have nothing constructive to say, I don't say anything. (except maybe this post )
Which of his cases are compatible with the dock without removing the tablet from the doc? Since I can't find detailed pics, based on reading the description it seems like just the clip, but, maybe others are as well?
I really enjoyed reading the updates I can't wait for the black clip to come into stock
I ordered the White CLIP, didn't want to wait for the black in case they never come in. Don't really care about the color.
Does anyone know if his shipment came in?

Maybe ... some guys complained that when the thread has been opened the ROM was not released.
Err that was resolved. The Author deleted the original thread and created a new one. Something else went down.

He took the first thread down without an explanation which was pretty rude. If he has taken down the second thread without leaving an explanation....now that would be inexcusable. It does not take much to leave a post explaining the reasons rather than leaving people high and dry.
Though he seems to be enjoying this rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15284823&postcount=3759
Perhaps he is out partying and spending his donations
Why be so quick to automatically assume the worst in people? He probably took it down for a reason and I assume it will be back up soon. I followed the thread closely and there didn't seem to be any problems/turmoil.

The reason he took his first thread down was because of the pathetic prepubescents who were complaining about a lack of progress, late ETAs and other such stuff. He took it well and even apologised - something the majority of posters on that thread didn't deserve - in fact most deserved a slap.
His ROM - he can do what he likes with it, AFAIK. "Pretty rude"?? Live with it. The high and dry people can always choose another ROM. Or make their own....
What about the people who donated so that he could keep developing, read his sig...

i must say I consider it rude not to at least leave a message as to why its been deleted. That said having posted mods and a rom myself over the years the public exceptions are very high and ask alot from the cook. I know that 1.1 did not go smoothly..... maybe he could not be arsed?

Is this a fact or have you just made this up. Where did you read this?
And those that donated towards the further advancement of the rom will perhaps think twice before giving money again to him.
what a pr*ck, i donated £20 to him!!
hate people like him...
The guy honestly doesn't seem like a prick at all, so it's either coming back with a bang or he can't be bothered anymore. That's his decision. Personally I would only donate to a dev after they've shown commitment in the way of releases. This was only at 1.1.

I read it on said thread, I'm not making it up. TBH, I can't remember if he pulled it himself or the mods did.
And I hadn't thought of those who donated (still trying to set up a Paypal account myself without wife's knowledge.. ).
My bad, apologies.

Said Mr. Pot to Mr. Kettle. You should have put the thread title in all caps. That would have made it even more inflamatory and likely to get people to read it. And there's no more risk of packages left without signature being stolen today then before you saw a news story. Unless of course this post and the news story put the idea in people who otherwise wouldn't have thought about's heads.

Or when they delivered $1500 printer in original box, with make, model, picture, etc on the box. They didn't feel like lifting it up 1 flight of stairs and left it by the door or a private house. And this is not in suburbia. It was basically sitting on a Brooklyn street.
Actually this is how my wifes Black Friday transformer was left and it has worried me since then. Since when was signature not required he norm.
Hey all if you don't mind giving me your address and estimated ship date I'll come by your place and "watch" for the package for you!!!!

i don't know why everyone has this idea like every thread should be should be something special.
i for one am glad to know this, i doubt it will happen to mine, but ill be extra careful.
blaziner, no offense but you are definitely the worst offender when it comes to creating pointless threads...lol. I will give you credit though, some of them have been oddly, and I mean very oddly, well received. You created the 'your hype level' thread, no? That was maybe the most pointless thread I think that I have ever seen created in all of my many many years on the Internet and yes I was an adult when the Internet first became popular (barely). That said people seemed to like it and wanted to come by and say how hyped they were on a scale from 1 to 10. How can you argue with that? Carry on my pointless friend.
I should qualify this post with the fact that I have also seen some constructive posts from you as well. Maybe not threads but at least a few posts. And I don't mean this post as an insult in any way either. I know it can sound that way sometimes on these internets.
Pretty sure the world ending would void the warranty, as that is an "Act of God" and specifically excluded from coverage.

You're thread crapping and you have the nerve to talk about pointless threads and invaluable contributions? This coming from a member with 39 posts in a one year span? Perhaps you should familiarize yourself with the rules and regs before you decide to post replies like this. XDA no likey thread crappers.

Is there something I did wrong?

You need 10 posts to do it in the dev section. You should be able to reply in the general or other sections. Why they can I am not sure. Are they doing it with a computer or by phone maybe?
Thanks. I don't mind I need 10 to post if that's the rule. I just wondering why some peoples, like me, has to follow that rule, but some don't required.
It could be the date they join. Some have been here forever with little to no posts.

I believe that the cutoff is around 2009 or older. Grandfather clause. Remember when there wasn't a "thanks" button?
Oh I see..... so this 10 post rule is something new (relatively). Thanks for the explanation.
Now I just have to work hard for my 10 posts.
I always wondered the same exact thing... I noticed some dude two days ago posting in the development and had 3 posts... I think under our profile there's a referral option so maybe they got referred my an existing member. That's my guess
Took me a year to get 10 post!

10 posts is a pain, but I understand they don't want everyone mucking up the Dev threads. Sometimes they are hard enough to keep up with what is going on in them.

if its something youre really going to consider, you have to invest in a good one. the initial investment in a starterkit will run you between $60-$90, but you ultimately save a ****ton of money AND health from there on out.
those crap ecigs from the convience store/mall kiosk are a horrible misrepresentation of the vaping world, dont buy those.
i can give you good recommendations if youre interested.

Its been many weeks since the new firmware went into final testing. So how is it coming? I understand there are people testing it? Are there any big problems? Why hasn't it been released already?
Any info on a ETA would be nice.
Cheers guys.
Edit: title updated
I dreamed we were getting Jellybean 4.1 and will be out no later than the middle of June but maybe sooner. Basically the same code Asus is putting into the Google Nexus 7 inch tablet due out towards the end of June.

It has been very quiet. Maybe they actually have noticed that the Prime does not perform like a quad core tablet should and they are seriously fixing the software. At least I hope so.

Hopefully, by implementing it for the Nexus tab, they will fix the issues without crippling the device too much.

I have been pm'ed by a member asking if I had heard anything and thought I gotta be a little proactive here so bear with me. The pm did not upset me but thought I'd better put this out there anyway.
Please do not pm me asking if I have heard anything about the next update. I was kidding around with demandrin (dunno if I spelled that right) earlier in this thread and that was all it was. I don't get inside info from him nor will I ask him for it. My Prime is working better than it has been with .21. It isn't perfect but I am happy with it.
I PM'd you demandarin, I think I got the wrong idea about asking for updates, sorry for the PM!

Ill answer everyone pm when I get home. IM still at work. too much to reply to from my phone.
Instead of PM'ing demandarin, how about one of the people who gets a response posts the information here so everyone can see?
Or if possible, is there an actual official Asus website devoted to tablets? I've looked in the past and have not found one. I think it would be more useful if I were giving and getting feedback to someone actually from Asus.

The information drought isnt good for anybody, but, I think its very telling.Getting second hand information , is not only unreliable, generally it is not current or correct, regardless of what some people think.
