On the fence still, not sure if I need another case.

I was just going to post this. I got the notification e-mail just a little while ago. Now I just need to decide if I really want to pay $35 for a case or not. I'm happy with my Incipio, so I can't decide.

Got mine ordered. Will report back and post pictures once it is here!
Use coupon code ampc0411w to get $3.5 off the order which is about the cost of shipping!

Added 10% off and free shipping coupons to first post
Should come out to $31.45 for most.

all the other mic holes are covered up. Why would they do that?

Top mic and bottom mic both look to be open. Are you referring to holes for the back cover/antennae?

I believe those are for the antennae, not mic. I'm using a Seidio active case that covers those as well, not really any signal degradation from what I can see/hear.

Tax and the cost of a subway ride or shipping ends up being about the same for me, oh well

Waiting for Amazon to get it they'll probably have it for $20 or something like that plus Prime shipping = sex.

For people ordering from here - Do they actually have it in stock? Link says it will arrive on 9/5. I'd rather pay the extra ~$7 and order direct from Otter. The customer service is great; they replaced my HD2 case twice free of charge due to fitment issues. If I had purchased 3rd party, I would have had to jump through all kinds of hoops to use the warranty.

I would by one.. but my bro had an HTC Thunderbolt with a car dock. Oddly enough it fits the Atrix 2 perfectly. He just got a Galaxy Nexus, so he gave it to me!

Do you have a link for that
Can't find it, do you have a link by chance?

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.

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 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.
