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 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.

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.

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 purchased the TF300T and have noticed the right side of the screen produces a click sound when applying a little pressure. Its bugging the crap out of me. Can any other 300 owners let me know if theirs produces something similar? I understand it is plastic and not perfect

Didn't notice a screen click on the one I played with at Best Buy, but did notice a lot of flexing and creaking in the plastic back. I literally, with very little squeeze, could squeeze the back in where I was touching together so that whatever innards there are attached to the back were touching those attached to the front. Didn't seem to make anything run poorly, or short out or anything, just felt a bit strange. I did like the rounder edges which are more comfortable than my prime.
I feel like the issue is just the cheap plastic back covering. When I got mine I noticed I could make parts of the back plate click too. does that mean the back cover can come off? To scared to try and maybe a should just rtfm. Lol

Hello,
I just got my Transformer Infinity TF700T. I tested it over an hour and am frankly quite happy with it, except one minor issue.
The hinge near the lower left corner is not tight, i can easily press it down a bit. It did pop up a little. There's no gap between the silver back cover and the front screen, it's just the back cover which doesn't firmly attach to the main body i believe.
Can other TF700T owners verify this issue ? Is it a manufacturer's defect ?
Thank you.
I'm a little bit confused by your post.. Are you referring to the hinge with the dock or just the corner of the tablet itself?
I have no gaps or "pops" when I press around the edges of my tablet. Maybe if you take a picture or give some more details I can confirm again for you if I have, or not, experienced the same.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using xda app-developers app
My TF700 is pretty snug in the hinge that makes the screen able to 'clamshell' with the dock. There is a little leeway in pulling and jerking, but not too much, so I'd call it secure. Since it has to be nice to the connecting sockets as well, I do not know if a a really tight connection could be feasible; I'd imagine you'd need a least a minimal amount of wiggle room.
I just checked my own. I see what you mean. Im able to press the screen down 1mm right around that spot. The rest of the frame is solid.
Would be nice if more people checked this spot and posted results.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using Tapatalk 2
Well, mine is as tight on the left as on the right -- I really can't spot any difference. There's less leeway than I originally thought (I didn't have the dock with me at that particular moment, so I posted off of memory). It's pretty tight. Does the locking mechanism go all the way to the right for you?
I don't have a dock yet.

Same thing here all around the edge press it down and kinda float up and down meaning it is not firmly attached and it has been on a not stable mount or uneven surface.

The 'hinge' i refered to was between the back (gray/gold) cover and the screen. I can press the screen down a little bit at the edge of the tablet.
I believe at least 3 other owners have reported the same issue, particularly in the same place as well.

You can actually call something that hold itself together in a loosely fashion as a "Hinge".
Which is exactly what the title of this post referring to.
I can also confirm this issue. Just got mine yesterday. I uploaded a pic of where I have to press down, just above the microHDMI port. Would be interesting to know if ASUS sees this as manufacturing defect.
Cheers,

Hmmm... At first I only had this problem down in the left corner by the docking hinge. Now I suddenly have it all along the bottom. Anyone else seen a difference over time?

You have to read the Transformer Prime area if you want to learn more about QC and Asus products. I don't think their QC line has changed at all coming from the Prime. Probably the same people.
I have this tablet for 3 weeks now and today I noticed the problem described in this topic.
I'll wait with a RMA or anything because I'm not sure if the replacement will fix this and if it will be back before my holiday. Let's hope it won't get worse.

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 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.

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".

?? I have 3 transleeves and all 3 of them fit the TF700 perfectly, no modding required. Sounds like you got unlucky.
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?

Amazon UK and Asus shop both list them in Stock.
I'm thinking twice about buying the dock. I know its amazing but I've heard reviews about the screen breaking because of the tablet being docked. Comments and thoughts will be highly appreciated.
Its fine. I would most certainly get it. Imo these issues are from a minority of people. I for one have had no issues. I have also owned the Prime for 6 months and had no problems with the keyboard damaging my screen. Just watch what your doing and you should be fine.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using xda app-developers app
I was hesitant when I bought mine for the exact same reason. But I believe those with the issues are in the minority or Asus would have a class action lawsuit against them. And I"m sure Asus has learned from its mistakes, as the issue appears to be far more common on the Prime than the TF300 and I've yet to see a single case of it on the TF700 that wasnt caused by something else (ex. a lose screw, falling damage). Gorilla Glass 2 is supposed to be more flexible than OG Gorilla Glass, so I'm sure that also helps things.
Just make sure to open from the center and not the sides to lessen the stress on the glass, and hopefully nobody will have issues.
i think people are picking up the tablet/dock using the corner of the screen.
I can see how the weight of the dock could flex the glass enough to crack if handled this way.
Thank you all for your thoughts, will consider it now more . Also should I worry with the screen lifting issue? Is not much on mine just on one corner. And sorry if I sound like a quality control freak jajaja.

As long as its not starting to come apart and loosen further you should be okay. I heard that these FHD screens are thicker then your Standard screens so I guess its normal. Definitely return it is it gets worse.

A square trade warranty makes this concern go away... the Dock is totally worth the risk even without the S.T.W.
I initially had the Transformer Prime with the dock, when I jumped ship to the Infinity I stayed with the same dock. It is working great with it, no need to force the dock, fits in perfectly. No scratches to the tablet either.

I put the tablet with the dock in a neoprene sleeve in my backpack. I took it with me on 5 airplanes, 2 busses and all around Berlin (walking around). It's been slung up and down off my shoulder and back shoved under the seat in front of me and pressed up agains a laptop and books, headphones, bottles, etc. So far (knock on wood!) it's been fine no cracks or anything.
I do plan on getting Squaretrade though.
