Hi
Folks coming to the party 6 weeks late, get freebies that early adopters were not offered.
Free Galaxy Buds with your Note10+ here in the UK if you bought between 10th Oct and 24th Oct
https://www.samsung.com/uk/galaxy-buds-offer/
Leaves a pretty sour taste in ones mouth, and will stop me pre-ordering in the future when better deals are available to those who wait.
Just claimed anyway, with the attached image as my receipt. Still trying to get rid of the nasty taste, it used to be that you got freebies for pre-ordering, now it appears you are better waiting.
I pre-ordered directly from Samsung and got a $200 voucher toward accessories. So I got these buds, wireless charger, and also car charger for basically free. A lot of people pre-ordered from retail stores, but they did not get as much free stuff when compared to directly ordering from Samsung.
Yeah, I preordered from Sprint and got $150 in accessories. Got the buds and a battery for it. Also got $16.67/mo loyalty credit for flex lease.

I bought a TF101 about a month ago, been itching to get a dock since then. Sadly stock has been scarce. The upside is that finally a couple of retailers have dropped the price on the dock here in Canada ($150 seemed expensive IMHO). For fellow TF Owners here in Canada I've seen the dock as low as $114 or a combined TF101 (16GB) and Dock for $499 (thesource email blast this morning). Anyone else looking for a dock at a good price I'd suggest bestdirect.ca or comtec.ca
Finally picked one up from BestDirect. Orderded July 11, 2011 22:00 delivered July 13, 2011 10:20 total price including taxes (free shipping) was $129.27 Canadian WOOHOO. Although this online retailer is located in BC they shipped it from Markham Ontario (perhaps because I am in Ontario). I'd highly suggest anyone in Canada looking for the dock save some time and money and check them out
Picked up a 16GB+keyboard dock for $499-$50 coupons = $450 from Staples.ca .... that's probably as good as it gets right now
it gets better
staples.ca does price matching. Go into the store with a printout of the amazon.ca deal where you get the 32GB+dock for 599 and they will price match (they gave me no trouble anyway)... so the dock ends up being 100 canadian.
****.. that's crazy cheap. x_X
Surroundedbytrees - was the dock you received from BestDirect a B50 or B60?
It's a B60 is that good/bad/ugly?

Does it matter? As long as it works.

I had finally settled on the rooCase Slim-Fit Folio through Amazon (via PC Micro Store) as seen here:
http://www.amazon.com/rooCASE-Slim-Fit-Adjustable-Transformer-10-1-Inch/dp/B0058DLAA8/ref=pd_cp_e_3
Originally listed as available on July 18th, I ordered it last week in hopes of having it by Friday to take on vacation (and paid for expedited shipping as well). However I noticed today that the "available" date had been bumped to July 20th, and I hadn't received any shipping notices, so I fired off an email to check things out.
Unfortunately the case is now delayed until July 26th, which is when "they" will receive their shipment, and then start shipping. This won't work for me, as I'll be laid up in a Cabin in Colorado for 2 weeks The person who responded was very nice and apologetic for the delay, and offered to refund my expedited shipping charge (14.99) and still send the package expedited as soon as it was available. While a lovely gesture, it just doesn't help me in my current situation.
So now I'm without a case, and definitely need one before we leave on Saturday.
In your experience, do you think I could get a case (rooCase, Caseen, etc.) online and shipped in time for my trip without spending an arm and a leg, or should I head to Best Buy and try to find something that I can jam the Transformer in for my trip.
Just wanted to share the delay of the case, my good experience with PC Micro Store customer service, and ask if anyone had any suggestions to get something in my hands by Friday or Saturday. Thanks!
Great looking case!

I am in the same boat, minus the 2 week vacation. I do fly out Friday as well, but I will be flying back on Sunday. I also got the same email with the offer to refund the expedited shipping and still expedite once they get them in stock.
I have been traveling with just the cheap hp case and a stand:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0049H8W1Y
I was really looking forward to the slim-fit though. As for other similar cases, anything roocase is out as there only looks to be one supplier for them. For any of the other ones it just depends on who is actually doing the shipping. Amazon is usually very good about making next/2-day as per the item page. You just have to be more careful about the purchases that don't actually come from Amazon. Whatever you are going to do, I would hurry up. You are just on the edge of rolling over to another shipping day for Amazon.
Good luck.
Edit: Yes...I am a sad Panda as well.
I ordered the same case but have been waiting since July 6th, I guess one more week is not such a big deal.What is a bit disconcerting is that the email says they will mark the order as shipped on Amazon.
+1 on the sad panda. But m not going anywhere and my transformer stays fine on my couch, without a case. Just saved some money! not so sad a panda now that I think about it.
Sent from my cell phone. DUH.
Thanks for the sad panda support guys! I went ahead and canceled the order, went to my local Micro Center and bought a cheap neoprene sleeve to hopefully keep my TF safe during travels (and kept the receipt and tags). Certainly not ideal, as I really wanted a folio that I could use to protect it and let my 20 month old son watch movies in the back seat on our long drive. Ah well, we shall perceiver!
Hopefully while I'm away, you guys will get your slim-fit and post some thoughts. If it's favorable ill go ahead and order one when I get back.
From the pictures, with this case we can connect the keyboard without removing the case, right?
I think I'll get this one.

Bump- as I also would like to know this...
I've been holding off because I'd really prefer buying a case that allows me to dock without removing the TF and I don't want to spend money on the Tuff-love because it's too expensive for me.
I ordered this case as well however I just canceled it. I found the Acase version of the slim fit on amazon that is in stock with free shipping. I originally paid the $20 for expedited shipping that wouldn't arrive until after Aug 4th to an FPO address. However the Acase offers free shipping that will arrive between Aug 1st and Aug 4th, or for the $5 shipping they have a guaranteed delivery of Jul 30th. The Acase version can be found at

Hello,
In November there were a number of places selling the dock for 99$. Is this because of the older firmware? I am trying to find it cheaper right now but cannot really find anything less than 125 after shipping and taxes. Does anyone have any advice on where to find the dock cheaper maybe like 110?
i feel you OP, im in the same boat as you. saw the dock priced at $99 around black friday/xmas time. tried to hold out for some type of "better" deal possibly. Then right after saw the price shoot up to like $180 lmao. I couldnt believe it. As of right now we have 2 options. search ebay or craigslist for someone selling it for cheap or wait until amazon comes back down on the price. Ive been watching it since it jumped from $99 to $180. its been steadily coming down ever since and as you said
its about $125 now. we just have to wait a little longer

yeah i guess you are right haha. thanks for the reply. man don't you hate that feeling tho when you miss a good deal? hahaha
I don't know how you feel about ordering from amazon but I would look on there. They have a Used - Like New Transformer Dock for 111.31 with Free Super Saver Shipping.
Taken from Amazons Condition Guidelines:
Like New: An apparently untouched computer item in perfect condition. The original plastic wrap may be missing, but the original packaging and software is intact. There are absolutely no signs of wear. Suitable for presenting as a gift.
Can't post the link since this is my first post
Enjoy!
there is a place on eBay selling refurbished docks for $99. I forget the name of the place, but it appears they had good ratings and lots of sales.
I saw it listed on gizmodo dealmodo today (actually it was the tf101 for $298 +shipping or the 32g version for $399 with free shipping) .

I finally decided to order my Xformer today and got it from B&H for $250 (used)
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/800836395-USE/ASUS_TF101_A1_16GB_Eee_Pad_Transformer.html/mode/edu
They are also selling used keyboards for $90...but I guess I got the last refurbished one cause its $118 now.
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/761727-REG/ASUS_TF101_DOCKING_Eee_Pad_Transformer_Docking.html/mode/edu
The amazon marketplace sells the keyboard for $107 used.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B004U78628/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&qid=1328491725&sr=8-1&condition=used
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.
Hey all,
Just ordered the "Geek Squad Certified Refurbished" Gear Fit from Best Buy for a total of $54.24, I technically got it for $4.24 due to the fact that I got a $50 Best Buy Gift Card for using Samsung Pay on my Note 5. I'm excited for it to come, however, it won't arrive until next Thursday.
Do you think this was a good deal?
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung...lack/7142038.p?id=1219251893047&skuId=7142038
Looks like it's actually $99.99 now. Damn. The price has gone back and forth from $49.99 to $99.00 over the past few days.
Nice deal. I recently replaced my old Gear Fit with a new one which I got for 66€ at a local telecom shop.
Sold the old one for 80€ on Ebay
The $49.99 price is because it was the Deal of the Day. $99.99 is the normal price for the refurbished unit. I just got mine yesterday, and as of right now, I'm not impressed. I cannot get it to connect with my phone (Galaxy S5).
