I received my 700 with the 2 rubber keyboard covers missing from the bottom. It may be trivial but, my concern is that dust my find its way under the screen. Has anyone else received their tablet this way? One other question, I have several areas along the bottom of the screen that have notable screen bleed during boot up. Do others have any screen bleeding?

No covers on mine also.
No screen bleeding.
Gorilla glass seems not to be well glued. Sometimes when i squeeze top left corner of the screen black frame, it clicks.

I wonder why that is? The TF 201 had them.

I have no issues with the screen being glued, just the bleeding at boot up. I had the same issues with screen bleeding on the TF 201. Went thru several replacements and still could not find one without any screen bleeding. Some better than others but none without any.

My TF700 came with two rubber covers to close off the attachment holes the dock pins go into, I believe that is what you are referring to, right, OP? Shame you're probably not based in the Netherlands, as I do not need them and would gladly give them away.
I've heard that Asus discontinued their use after a lot of prime owners tried to dock their tablets without taking the rubber feet out.

Yes, that's wat I'm referring to. Thanks for the thought, not a big deal just found it unusual as the TF201 had them and the TF700 does not.

Wow nice info thanks.
I really hope that I get those rubber thingys as I do not plan to use the dock.
Is there a rubber thing for the connector too?
Maybe I should make my own?
You could always get the transleeve as it plugs up the ports nicely. the only other option I can think of is to put tape over them or find piece of silicone that might fit in the holes.
Also DarsVaeda mine came with a plastic thingy to fits into the charging port. No silicone nubs in the holes for the keyboard though.
Okay I guess I'll have to wait and see but there is hope
Thanks!

My tf700 also came without covers, but that's been discussed here before and I didn't expect them. However I do have a bit of backlight bleed at the bottom of the screen, but it doesn't bother me as it's only noticeable when you are on a black screen, or at bootup.

Did not see where it was discussed before, I think a good potion of these tablets not only Asus have some sort of screen bleed. Most of the time what you have stays that way, but I know of people who had minor scree bleeding and it got worse.

Hm.. I hope it doesn't worsen in the future. I've owned many other screens (monitors and tv's) with slight bleeding that where hardly noticeable and didn't worsen. Hopefully that's the case with this.

There is a plastic plug/cover for the connector. I'm sure it will eventually get lost.

You know I wonder why asus did not put a spring loaded mechanism in the docking holes. You know kinda like the thing in a PeZ dispenser, when you put the tablet on the dock it would push them in the tablet and when you undock it the covers spring back in place.

Very good idea... That would be a nice solution....
By the way, does anyone else find the USB port "cover" on the dock almost impossible to remove??? I eventually just left it out as it makes the USB port *very* frustrating to use!
I too have some light bleed on the bottom of my TF700. It's really only noticeable on the black boot-up screen though (I guess the backlight is at full brightness during boot-up?)

The case I ordered kind of takes care of this for me:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008FP3LZ8
I don't plan on using a case when I dock it anyway, so that should be fine. I think it's beneficial for people who don't plan on using a dock, so the case they chose can be a more permanent solution.
I just ordered this case, its not in stock until tomorrow.Its cheap and should be a good starter case. I'm not expecting much, but it would be a good backup.
http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Slimbo...e+for+the+ASUS+Transformer+Pad+Infinity+TF700
I also ordered this case from poetic directly. Hopefully itll be decent. Anyone know of a case of this fashion thats a little further up the quality totem pole?
I will try this one out as well.
Well that was fast! Just got mine in. Of course, as luck would have it, I left my Infinity at home today and can't try it out yet. It seems like a nice case though. There's a magnetic clasp and the hand strap is there. My only concern is whether it will be too top heavy when used as a stand. By itself, it just falls over, but I'm hoping the weight of the tablet will fix that.

Woah you already got yours! I get mine on monday. I'm glad to hear that its not too bad and I'm happy to hear about the hand strap, I didn't even notice that.

It is for the TF201 but fits the TF700 fine (most of the cases you see advertised for the TF700 are the same as the TF201). The TF700 is just a tad taller so clasp is just a bit tight but other than that it's a perfect fit, none of the ports are covered and the camera is exposed.

I have that case as well. Bought it for my TF201 and it fits the TF700 perfectly. Great quality and everything. Wouldn't want another one
this looks like a good hold me over case until a gumdrop or griffin case gets developed.
My only problem with the case, after a few weeks of use, and is that the securing flap is a bit loose so the pad slides down a bit. I anyone else notice it? I plan on buying some low profile velcro to fix it.

my slimbook arrived today and i actually like it. it is definitely slim. my cheap stylus needs to be upgraded, as the tip came off when trying to push it through the holder (not a biggie though). i think this will do well to hold me until the Gumdrop case is available.

I started having the same problem after about the same time. Today i went and bought some " stick-on hook & loop fastener" for $1.30~ at Wal-Mart. It works perfectly and has renewed this case. I actually really like it now as it makes the case really snug and feel secure.
TIP:
1) press the two strips together ( so they are even), then cut it to about 3 to 4 inches ( eyeball the length)
2) remove the adhesive film from one side only and stick pieces on the leather part first, make sure your tablet is seated firmly in the case (press the strips on until the fill secure). then push the flap with strips in until is snug. after that hold in place while you remove the second adhesive fillm, and close it.
3) let it sit closed a few minutes and you're done.

Here are some pics of my case after the transformation. i really think companies that make this style of case should start using hook & loop fastener strips like this from the start. it's cheap and shouldn't add much at all to the cost of the product.

WARNING! does not protect against drops! I just dropped my tablet as I was closing my car door. The tablet dropped from my hands about 3 feet or less, screen is shattered! it landed on a corner and that was it. I'm contacting Asus now about replacement/repair. Definitely don't have this case in mind for drop protection...but for looks and design it's fine.
Has anyone purchased a smart cover for their Infinity? Like something comparable to an iPad smart cover? I'd prefer something like that over a keyboard dock or sleeve type protection. Curious what's out there. Looks like Asus made some for older models but they are reviewed unfavorably.

There is the official smart cover by Asus called TranSleeve.
But there is a report here somewhere it doesn't fit well and you have to tweak it a little too have it perfectly fit.

I don't think there is a smartcover for infinity, and i am afraid there never will be!
You see, smart cover means that when you "open" it, the screen turns on (iPad, Nexus7), becuase there is a magnet in the chasis of the pad that makes that possible. Haven't tried applying a magnet on infinity, but i don't think there is one...
So, sorry about that. transsleeve maybe looks like smart cover, but it is pretty stupid if you ask me
TranSleeve is what I'm looking for. Just light protection for the screen when I set it down and a stand when in use. Has anyone tried it with the TF700? The reviews are mixed from TF201 users, some love it some don't.
Also, anyone try waiving a magnet around this thing yet? If they eventually came out with one that could trigger the screen like an iPad that would be ideal.

I have TF201 TranSleeve on my TF700 and it fits perfectly. No need to do any tweaks.
TranSleeve is OK, but after little pressure applied it leaves traces on the screen (looks like rubber, although it's just synthetic).

I noticed that the iPad smartcover does that too. There are three horizontal lines on the screen.
So far my favourite cover / screen protection is the dock itself.

I'm thinking the same. But I'd like to get a cover for while at home. I'm going to get real sleeve to carry all of it when I leave the house so I can put it in my backpack without worrying about it getting messed up. I'd love a sleeve with 3DO in it but no one makes those.
I got the Transleeve Dual yesterday and to be honest I don't like it at all. It feels nice in the hand but that is just about the only compliment I can give it.
The case just ruins the elegance of the tablet which I find surprising since it is an Asus product.

Not sure if it's the same case as with Prime but there were a lot of complains that this transleeve causes scratches.
Im curious how well the cover fits. I also have one from my prime and although it appears to fit initially, it doesn't actually lock in and it falls of rather easily. When I look at it from the bottom, I can see the hooks on the cover don't fully catch in the dock slots. Also, the usb cable connector opening isn't centered as it should be in the covers cut out. It's as if the dock connector slots are slightly deeper than they were with the primes. I am curious if this is just my device or in general.

I had the same problem. Sleeve worked great on my Prime. When the camera module failed and the Prime was replace with the Infinity, I found the cover would not latch securely. Almost dropped the tablet the first time.

The slots on the TF700 have been redesigned. I'm not sure what the correct term for the bit of the slot that the latching mechanism clicks into, but I'll call it a shelf. On the TF201, the 'shelf' was part of the case, which meant that when attaching it to the dock, or in this case, the cover, the action of attaching would caus abrasion of the outward facing part of the 'shelf'. On the TF700, the 'shelf' is recessed, and made from what seems to be steel, so, although it will also get abraded, the marks will be fewer and less visible.
The recessing of the shelf means that the the 'neck' of the latches being pushed in needs to be slightly longer so that it latches in behind the shelf properly. In the case of the cover, it is not. This could be rectified by grinding off a portion of the latching, to extend the neck a little. A mm or so should be enough. I plan on doing this when I get some time.
I hope this explains it, despite my lack of knowledge of the correct terms for all the bits involved.

UPDATE:
The posts on the transleeve are millimeters from allowing proper attachment. On hinge of the transleeve are some rubbger spacers to hold the hinge away from the tablet. I removed those spacers and that provided just enough additional space for the hinge to latch into place. Hope that helps.
Please post a picture of your mods to help everyone understand what you've done...
There were already other threads on this, so no news here. I've been using it for two months now, but sporadically, it's ok, but I don't love it, the dock or neoprene sleeve is a better cover. Plus it leaves "stains".

My prime's origami case also doesn't fit well on my infinity. I mean it fits, but it is in no way secure. It doesn't latch at all and falls off with the slightest tug. Isn't there an official origami case for the infinity?

I use a stylus constantly. I was getting the rubber tipped ones of of eBay. Like 6 for 7 bucks. But, after a while, it seems they break down or something. Doesn't glide well at all after a few weeks. Amazon has a new kind out that has nylon micro fiber cloth instead of rubber. I ordered it. I'll give a review after i try it.
