I currently have a xoom that I will be returning Friday for a transformer and I was wondering if there's a portfolio type case for the transformer like the xoom has? I have the portfolio case and love it. Its great for playing games and reading in bed.
Here's a link if no one knows what I'm talking about.

Yes, that looks really nice. I ordered one from amazon for $39.99, its out of stock now but I'm willing to wait instead of paying $50 + shipping from the other seller listed currently. Its under more buying options on the middle right.
That one is pretty close, but I was hoping for something with a bigger bottom base.. hopefully a lot more pop up soon.

Ok guys, here it is:
Contemplating buying a used Verizon version Xoom 32GB in good condition (no scratches) with wireless bluetooth keyboard and cover/case for it for $350. What do you guys think about this deal? I think it's pretty good considering the prices they go for used on eBay and Amazon Marketplace. I need some advice...and soon. I'm supposed to meet this guy in an hour and a half.
Very awesome deal. Do it.

Good deal. Depending on how used the xoom is.

Haven't paid any import fees yet because it was shipped with FedEx.They normally pay any import fees on your behave and then send you a bill later.Shipping cost around 35 pounds and it arrived in like 2 days(best morning ever:victory and this was all done on ebay.
if i bought a tf700 from the usa and imported to the uk apart from the " and the @ buttons being swapped around is there any other problems like the play store being the usa version or ota updates ?

Imported mine from amazon.de for £496. That includes VAT and shipping but was without the dock.
If you can find a post forwarding company to send a parcel from Ireland to UK Komplett.ie have a very competitive price right now - 64GB with dock for €679, that works out roughly at £540. The dock is an "international" keyboard which is the US layout (no £ or € keys).
Got mine from amazon US first week it came out, had it shipped to a friends villa who was on holiday there. Had it home with me 4 days later for £414.00
Thats 32gb model dock, case and 32gb sd.

Forget that ^^ Just read reviews on them , and thye are supposed to be pretty dodgy
Well it was until first week using it when connecting the dock it snapped the charging port, so now cant use the dock and having to insert charger very carefully due to pins being able to short against each other.
Tried to rma but its not covered by warranty they say and they cant give me a price to repair until i rma it stating i understand i will have to pay, .... but how much?
Funny there tablet , correct dock and its my fault.
I have the tf300 with dock and no issues with that one.

I was just about to order my tf700 from Simply Electronics when I spotted this thread which I am glad I read. My problem now is where do I buy one from now, I have looked on Ebay and I see sellers from America and Taiwan selling the 32gb at a good price, has anyone bought one this way if so can they recommend a seller to me please.

Well I bit the bullet and ordered from them anyway. After closer inspection there were lots of negative reviews but positive ones also. As you those with an axe to grind tend to be more vocal.
Fingers crossed I'll get mine trouble free , if not I paid on my credit card so I'm covered.

Snap I ordered mine to, I paid by paypal so fingers crossed all goes ok for both of us.
I will post here when I get mine will you do the same.
Whats the extra customs price they charge on these guys?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using Tapatalk 2
Customs will charge you price + shipping x 10% for duty.
They will then add 20% to the new total as VAT
So you are looking at roughly 32% that the thieving bastards will add if they open your package. It's the risk you take and it can make a 450 pound deal cost 595 pounds in real money.
You take the risk and you could get away with it.
wow thats shocking

I'm really itching to get a dock, but from what I've read is a tablet + dock shouldn't be more than $150. Problem is I was thinking of trying to trade an iPod 3rd Gen for one. I've no clue of the value of the iPod or what gb it is though.

Check eBay and local prices.
The tablet with dock is going for $250+ on eBay, consistantly, not $150+ - check the prices and perhaps use a price-tracker app. You might get a better deal on Craigslist since people often use that to try to make a quick sale.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda app-developers app
Checked Craigslist but I live in Mississippi and can't find a dock even in surrounding states for some reason. I've got a tablet, bought it last year on sale so I don't need that. I read a few posts saying $150, guess they were wrong as I'm seeing non working tabs for $100
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
Usually you can get the dock refurbished from stores around 90-120$... but all the stores seem to be out of stock now.
Alright I guess I'll see if I can sell this iPod at a pawnshop and see if they'll give me enough for a dock.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
You should be able to get just the dock for about $99, I think.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda app-developers app
I wish this forum still had a marketplace. I literally haven't used my dock in 3 or 4 months (I just charge it up once in a while to keep the battery healthy). It's in good shape and I even still have the box.
I guess what I'm getting at is pm me if you are interested in possibly buying from another xda member.
Just to let u guys know a 3rd party charging stand been developed by China, it costs as less as UD$8
Saw another version which provide additional USB port that allow sync, it costs around $12
Hope to get one next week, and will provide detail report later.
Cheers

I wonder if the $12 one with the standard usb would work?
64gb and 128gb usb sticks AND mhl a la hdmi here we come?
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 2
Have no clue, and I don't think the USB port would work. Based on the physical design of the handset, there's only positive and negative poles on the left hand side to be contacted with the docking station. In this connection, I would only try the inexpensive version, and to report the same next week(hopefully)
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
i don't see how any of these could offer usb sync and such.
the pogo pins are solely for powering the device, there is no data interface as far as i know. just +/-
however for that price those things look just like the stock one, if it works well its probably a very good buy.
looking forward for a review.
Agreed, there is no way that the one with full size USB could work, unless Sony had worked some magic to mux the power with the data in just two pins. Doubt it.
Otherwise, it'd have to have a microUSB plug in the dock and you'd have to open your USB cover.
The USB data wouldn't work. Maybe the USB input is just another extension for power, to charge 2 devices at the same time? Some sort of daisy chaining? Sony confirmed that the pins can only transfer power though.
Just check it out, they don't export to Hong Kong, and schedule to release in mid-May
USB port is power outlet only
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
Lookslike that this page don't send to europe, or I am wrong?
Indeed, If they did, Sony would have included it in their own dock.

Only sales within Mainland China. Hong Kong and Macau are excluded. So as the rest of world.
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
Well this look nice.
I didn't actually need a dock. I just want to charge my phone without opening the water-proof seal on usb port everyday.
A cable attach to the 2 pin power port should the perfect solution for me.
But until we have that, cheaper dock is a must buy for me.
Chatted with seller, the cheap one ($8 version) shall depart China toward my office in Hong Kong on or before next Wed
Is there any e-mail to contact seller, since I can't read chinese and sometimes even gtranslate can't help . I would like to contact seller, to see what are options to get dock in rest of the world. I am pretty sure, for at least 5-10 XZ owners in my area would buy even the most expensive one, as it's still really cheap. Me personally I would go for middle one, since is kinda better than expensive one...
You might consider those taobao agents who buys it for you and shop it to you. Advantage they speak English and accept PayPal for example
I used http://www.engtaobao.com/ to ship mine dock.
Dock itself was $14, shipping was $2,5 and probably small (5%) handling fee.

It's finally arrive, $10 buck includes speedpost to Hong Kong, works perfectly with my XZ.
