Does anyone actually have the tf700 dock?

Last week, I made the mistake or ordering a "bundle" from TigerDirect which included the infinity tablet + dock. The tablet was shipped promptly but the dock was immediately put on backorder - a detail which was missing from their web site which assures that the product will be shipped within days.
The pricing on the order added $23 to the cost of the tablet and subtracted $23 from the cost of the dock. So, if I cancel the dock I'm out $23. I'm not sure why TigerDirect did this other than to ensure that I'd wait for the dock to be shipped.
I would, of course, just like to buy a TF201 dock and save money in the process but TigerDirect has negated that option.
Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone actually has seen a bona-fide, not repackaged TF700 dock. I've scoured the forums looking for anyone who might actually have one but I haven't seen any reports. I also haven't seen any estimates on when these seemingly mythical entities will be shipped.
Anyone have any insight here?

I would like to know this too. Also, is this supposed TF700 dock actually going to have the same coloration as the TF700? Would prefer for them to match.

Awesome question! I am surprised that Asus has not commented on the seemingly repackaged docks.

At least ASUS has confirmed that there will be dock's in both Infinity colors...but question is when?

Got the dock and it is in the same color.

I actually spoke with Tiger Direct today (same boat & questions). I was told they are expected to ship out later this week say Thursday or Friday. No "official" word we then moved on to the obligatory warranty up sell

Could you post pics? I've seen lots of people saying they have a dock that is the same color but every one I've seen is in fact quite different. Would be relieved if that weren't the case.

Congratulations on getting what seems to be a straight answer. I'm on my third try with them, just asking the "When do you expect this to ship" question.
I assume you probably talked on the phone where it was harder to misinterpret simple questions.

Quick update, received notice my dock has shipped from tiger direct should be here tomorrow. I will give you guys a quick update when it arrives.

Well now my Amazon order for the dock says 2-4 weeks as opposed to the 1-2 months it said before. That's what it said for the tablet to before it became available the next day so hopefully it will be shipping soon! I didn't buy from the other sellers on Amazon because they are shipping out 201s according to reviews. I trust buying from Amazon directly though.

It's supposed to be technically the same as the tf201. Difference is the one for the infinity will be color matched to our tablets. Model wise, it's just a prime dock with updated firmware + color

The battery was moved to the front of the keyboard to help counter weight the tablet. The bigger battery would not fit so went with smaller battery.
Just what I have heard around the webs.

Update: Just received from my dock from Tiger Direct. Ditto on the other comment already made. It's listed as a TF201 but the color matches.

Got my dock today from tigerdirect and it says tf201 all over it even under /settings/about tablet : MobileDock version TF201-DOCK-0207. The box did have a sticker on it labeling it TF700T-DOCK-GR but of course right above it it says Model:TF201Mobile Docking... Wish my brother were here with his prime so I could compare them, but it feels good, doesn't tip over and the color matches. Someone should call and complain maybe get them to price match it down to the tf201 model's 113.00 price tag. Not it.

Got the tf700-dock from office depot.
Box, sticker on the bottom of the dock, and the manual said tf201.
I have a prime and dock as well, the new dock is matched in color to the infinity and only barely different from the prime. They weigh 3 grams less. I suspect ASUS didn't get a delivery from the printer
All I can say is the color matches the infinity, not the prime. Dunno why it says 201 all over everything.

hi everyone I bought a tf700t a few days ago and waiting for delivery. I am just wondering is accessories of older products such as prime, tf300 etc
are able to used on tf700t ?
For example, the charger, docking, case and anything can be used on it
Thank very much

Some yes, some no.
Cables seem to be the same. The docks it depends. The TF201 and TF700 seem to be the exact same piece of hardware as suspected by many and proven by craftyhacks here.
To expand on your question, other accessories such as cases and screen protectors may fit or may not. Pick through the accessories section for more elaboration on this. My case and screen protector are both from another device and work perfectly, but others have not been so lucky.

Where to buy the "real" TF700T dock?

It seems like 90% of the posts I read about TF700T docks are from people who have the relabeled 201 dock (some happy, some not), but there are also claims that people have seen the two designs torn down, so there must be "real" 700 docks apparently floating around out there to compare vs. relabeled ones.

As far as I can tell, no European retailer carries the TF700 dock.

Just bought a dock from Best Buy today. Had the TF700 stickers over the TF201 sticker. But honestly people. This is the real dock. It even came with the new firmware. Nothing installed when i first the tablet into it and its up to date. Feels great to me. Fits perfect. The lock clicks fine. I think that we are chasing the REAL TF700 dock for nothing. If people had problems with it fitting, they must have had a defective dock or tablet. Even if the real dock does exist, I'm 100% happy with this dock. Everything seems to work. All the buttons work. What do you have to lose? Get it from Best Buy, stickers over stickers or not. If you hate it or have a problem, return it! Best Buy is good like that.

If it is not the same color it is Not the right dock. I don't care what sticker they put on it. Can you imagine buying a new car and having the dealer install a different hood that was last years model (but nothing has changed but the color) would yo be happy with that?

I don't really feel that I can compare this to a car. Because this dock being a slightly different color would not bother me one bit especially if it worked exactly the same. But of course a different color hood would.

There is no such thing as a "real" TF700 dock, other than the one with the stickers on the box.... It's been discussed to death already, but I truly believe that the docking part of the re-labeled TF700 dock is slightly different than the original TF201 dock. But other than that, it's really just the same dock and it works fine...

Good input. Does the machine tip over backwards when the screen is tilted fully backwards?

Yeah the balance issue is what concerned me as well -- I know they are functionally identical but if they really did relocate the battery to make it less prone to tipping over, that's something I want.

I can confirm that my TF700 does not "tip over" when tilted back all of the way... I have the dock that had the TF700 sticker over the TF201 designation...

I can confirm this also. Just picked up the dock from Best Buy today. Had a sticker over the tf201, but that may be a miss print because the same label has TF-700T-DOCK-GR printed on it.

I got the dock from Best Buy. Had to order it twice, because they didn't sent the shampain gold color. It has a sticker that it is a TF700/TF201 Mobile Docking. The problem I have is that the tablet doesn't fit easily into the dock. I have to use some pressure for the lock to it in place. I owned TF300 before, and the tablet easily got into its place in the dock. So, I am thinking, that maybe I need to have the keyboard replaced. Has anyone have the same issues with the dock?

The "real TF700 dock" is the Asus Transformer Pad Mobile Dock with a sticker that says "Compatible with: TF700 Series/TF201.

there was a post here about the dock for the tf500 which is also called the TF700/tf500 dock. Rumored to be on sale very soon, and I think that some retailers were already putting up info on Amazon etc.

I have yet to see a single dock for the 700 that has the contours for the 700 fit exactly in the dock mechanism. Seems to me like they are all one curve like the 200 is, not angular like the 700 is.
There was a post kicking around about the internals being identical, battery life being different because of power draw by the beefier tablet is greater than the older one. For now the 200 dock is all we have, however its labled.
And to anyone that says they have a legit 700 dock, dock your tablet, look at the dock mech and see the gaps between the angle of the base of the tablet and the smooth curve of the dock mech. Congrats, you have a 200 dock. If yours is a perfect fit then pics or it didnt happen.
Cheers!

I've been researching which tablet to buy and have been leaning heavily towards the TF700. Newegg has a combo with the TF300T KB/dock. Is the TF300T dock any better or worse than the TF500/700/201 or whatever dock? It has a 16W/h size battery according to the specs. And in the pictures it looks more blue rather then gray like the TF700...is that right? Should I bother looking for a different dock?

List of tested induction charger for Nexus 4

Hi all, i've bought this wireless charger to charge my Samsung Galaxy S3 (with the included coil, it works), AND my brand new LG Nexus 4, and for this smartphone, it doesn't work.
Here the link:

It claims to be QI compatible, but mine doesn't work with my Nexus 4... Anyone else tried this charger ?

yes, it works because Samsung Galaxy S3 already have a special pinout just under the backside cover.
This pinout is intendented to be used with the official charging kit wich will become available in few weeks from Samsung.
But others manufacturers have not wait much longer to create their own kit for Galaxy S3
If delivery works fine, i will receive an other wireless QI charger tomorrow... A philips one... I will post here if it works.

Ive been following the other threads on qi chargers for quite some time and most of the ones that are not working either has :
1) contact type charging (i.e sleeve with metal contactor to the charging pad)
2) wireless charging/qi standard but with lower rating for battery capacity (i.e nokia for example, rated at 300 mAh)
from the looks of it, this doesnt look like its a contact type..so there might be a slight chance that this might work..here's one sold in amazon :

I kept holding off on ordering. I was going to order this morning and it's gone.

Chances are Samsung removed it from Amazon and there are no 3rd party sellers offering it. Not sure why unless they are trying to force the Dex station, want you to have to order the pad from them, or want everyone to buy their Usb-C to HDMI cable instead.
Honestly, I don't feel the pad is worth it. If you are willing to spend that much, get a wireless charger and Usb-C to HDMI plug instead. I have the station and works great, but the cable and charger combo is better IMO.

I like the Dex pad. Active cooling. I wish it had the Ethernet port too but probably took away from the bandwidth. I bought a Logitech mouse and keyboard to set up one port for the receiver and the other for a usb thumb drive.

Well. I think I figured out part of the mystery. Samsung just knocked the price down a lot on their website. Is it on clearance already?

One day sale. $40 shipped.

USB-C to HDMI does its job for me

Anybody else get in on the Dex from Samsung's website? I think it is only $40 today.

I mentioned earlier the day before that I think I was one day sale. I don't know how or why that affected amazon sellers. Perhaps Samsung notified them but they weren't extended he sale price and took the Dex pad down for one day.

B&H has the Dex Pad Dock for $99, or you can get it and a Duo charger for free if you order a Note 9 from them. The phone is unlocked.

Best buy has them for $75

I got mine from Samsung for 75. DeX pad does work with the note 9. However, the hdmi cord that came with it didnt feel right. Sometimes it wouldn't connect to my monitor. I used another hdmi cord and it worked fine. I barely used the DeX, probably used it 1-2 times since the time I received the product.

My $40 order said it would take 7-10 days to ship out. It went out Friday so hopefully I will receive this week sometime. Looks like it could be handy for a bigger screen. I really think Samsung should try for a lapdock type of system. Motorola bombed it trying to make money for every model of phone. Are Razer or Asus's implementation any good? I think Samsung should make one with a good IPS or AMOLED screen and with a huge battery under keyboard. Maybe 12-13" and has USB3.1 and USB type-c ports. Maybe even a user installed SSD slot for a local cloud backup for desktop experience. Android is getting so good alternatives to Chromebook would be nice if designed well with good work flow. Optimize it so there input latency with a mouse is gone.
I wonder if they could make it <.5" or <1.25cm thick with 40000mah battery for a portable laptop. They could probably more a nice gimmicky folding version with their bendable P-OLED but the price would be wrong. Heck somebody should make a good universal one and maybe that will force OEMs to take notice.
Or any rumors between Android and Chrome OS on the horizon again?

I got mine from Samsung for 75. DeX pad does work with the note 9. However, the hdmi cord that came with it didnt feel right. Sometimes it wouldn't connect to my monitor. I used another hdmi cord and it worked fine. I barely used the DeX, probably used it 1-2 times since the time I received the product.

Do you have to remove your case for it to connect with the USB C on the pad?

Yes, however, it only works with the extended usbc adapter that I bought on Amazon. So it extends from my phone/case and fits into the dexpad just fine. Here's a pic of it with the adapter attached to the dexpad. I used the Samsung rugged case btw.
