but can u still place the tablet on the dock well? does it have no problems in terms of performance when putting it in the dock? thanks
I used to use Zagg on everything but I got tired of the orange peel look on all my devices.
I was wondering the exact same, I've got Zagg Shields on all my devices and it works great.
Does anyone actually has a TF201 full body protection on their TF700 and does it still fit well in the dock?
Or does anybody know of a good alternative full body protection for the TF700 like: Skinomi TF700?
Dont go with Zagg, its a decent product for protecting the device but theres enough other "military grade" protectors out there you can find something that works JUST as well with not as soft material, thinner material, and smoother material, for the same or less cost.
If you find your dock snug you can always peel off the felt pads from inside the dock, i even used a file to sand em down a ltitle so its completely flat. works awesome!

Just thought I'd throw this out there so we can generate some interest and have a pattern made for some clear protective skins from BestSkinsEver
I've been using these guys for years for protecting all of my electronics / GPS screens, and have thus far found them to be the best in terms of quality / customer service and price. I can say for a fact that the material they use is identical to the material used by InvisibleShield and most of the other 'clear skin protector' companies out there. With this said, though, aside from IS, BSE has never let me down in terms of the quality of their templates, whereas with other brands I have had issues with coverage of speaker holes / screw holes/ etc.
I e-mailed the company asking if they had any plans for a TF700 body skin, and they responded with:
We have not yet received enough demand for the Asus TF700, therefore, we do not currently have plans to produce a Skin for it. We have added your name to the list to be notified if this status changes.
We have confirmed that the screen Skin for the ASUS Transformer Prime TF201 is compatible and the body Skin is not.
If you are using the dock, it looks like the TF201 dock compatible screen and dock only body Skins should work on your TF700. If you would like to try either of them and they do not fit, we will be happy to honor our 30-Day Money Back Guarantee.

I am mainly interested in having a skin on the back of the Infinity to avoid any scratches / scuffs that are inevitable, even with silicone / folio type cases, since dirt or grit can get stuck between the tablet and case surfaces.
If you guys are interested, shoot them an e-mail at [email protected]. I am in no way affiliated with the company, and I apologize if this breaks any forum rules, but I am just looking to see if there's anyone else looking in a non-case solution for protecting their Infinity.

I have front shield only, but 201 fits 700 perfectly.
I have the 201 Zagg on my tf700. It works fine. Front and back.

I know that the SGP screen covers are for the TF101, however I was not too happy with the ZAGG orange peel effect on my old Transformer Prime. I recently traded it into BestBuy and got the Infinity and was hoping to do better with the hard screen protectors. However I haven't seen a ton of screen protectors outside of Skinomi and Ghost Armor.
I am seriously considering the SGP as I have used them on my phones and honestly nothing competes to the feel and protection they offer. Has anyone tried it on their Infinity with any luck?
I just so happened to have an un-used SGP anti-glare for my original TF101, so I checked it and it's a lot smaller that the TF700 screen and the camera hole doesn't line up.
I guess you *could* use it, but it would probably make the camera look like crap and, like I said, it's really too small for the TF700 screen....

Well that just stinks. But thanks for the response.
Already a dozen screen protector threads. Do a quick search for em, lots of feedback which are smoother / clearer / more durable / less costly.
Likely to be upgrading from my Prime to the Infinity soon and was wondering if I should bother saving myself some money in not getting a full body skin for my tablet.
I know that there were a lot of recommendations for protecting the Prime's aluminium backing as it was seen to be extremely easy to scratch. Is the Infinity's back made of the same easily scratched material, save for the plastic strip?
Better yet, wanting to hear about those who have attempted to keep their tablets out of a case and skin protector.
Here's my experience... I have the keyboard dock and leave my TF700 docked almost all of the time. The back is very easy to scratch, but I'm *very* careful with my devices and have not put any type of protection on the TF700 outer shell. Again, being very careful, I have not had any scratches or anything, but I have read reports that it's easy to scratch the aluminum... I transport my docked TF700 in a "Swiss" brand "sleeve", which works well (and also has a zippered compartment for accessories, which is nice). Purchased this @ Walmart (wasn't cheap, but...).
Regarding the screen - I originally put an anti-glare protector on my TF700 after about a week of dealing with the glare and fingerprints - it was great for reducing glare (duh!) and was *awesome* for reducing all of the fingerprints and smudges on the screen - overall I was happy with it. However, after having the anti-glare on for a few weeks, I decided to purchase a Nexus 7 - once I saw how nice the naked screen was on the Nexus 7 in comparison to the TF700 with anti-glare, I decided to remove the anti-glare from the TF700. All that I can say is *wow* - what a difference (I didn't realize how much the anti-glare degraded the TF700 screen quality!).
So, I would definitely stay away from anti-glare protectors on the TF700 and just deal with the glare and fingerprints - the screen is just *way* to nice to ruin it with the degradation that an anti-glare causes.
Hope the helps!

I like to keep mine in mint condition, I love the look of the prime and didn't want to put a skin or cover on it so I just use the Asus Transleeve and the clear front and back Skinomi skin cover. That way it is 100 percent protected and i can keep the awesome metal look.

I feel the same way.
I'd given the iPad2 a spin for a year and tried out their Zagg Invisible Shield protective skin. That was the best decision I'd made. I am careful with my stuff but there are bound 2b those accidental moments. Every little scratch healed itself. I'll never know if there was a ding avoided but probably so. When I sold it over a year later I got within 20 bucks of what they were selling for after the new iPad came out (I had a Logi keyboard 2go with it). I actually bought my Transformer with the cash I got for the iPad2. I contacted Zagg 2c if they had a tf700 Invisible Shield. Their response was no but check back they may in the future. I just checked back and they have both the full body (glass and aluminum side) AND the alum side of the dock (separately). Placed my order and expect it soon. The beauty of the model specific skin is that they have the holes exactly where the camera, microphone, speaker were on the iPad and I expect that with the Transformer they also accomodate the raised lettering and the feet on the dock. I feel like a salesman 4Zagg but credit given where credit is due.
Good Luck
So I have to compliment Skinomi and there TechSkin products, and there amazing customer service.
I ordered a Dark Carbon Fiber Techskin for my TF700,
http://www.skinomi.com/sk11336-asus-transformer-pad-infinity-tf700-carbon-fiber-skin-protector.html
and loved it the moment it went on. But I may have messed up the edges as I put it on, so they started to peel back. I emailed Skinomi about the issue, and they offered to replace the skin free of charge, no shipping costs at all! I couldn't believe myself when they said that. Now I'm just waiting it's replacement. Because of there amazing support, I also ordered the skin for the dock. I had to ask them in the email, because it didn't come to mind to check in the TF201 section for the keyboard dock skin.
http://www.skinomi.com/sk10193-asus-transformer-prime-keyboard-dock-carbon-fiber-skin-protector.html
With both a replacement skin for the Tablet, and a skin for the keyboard dock on it's way, I'm going to be very happy in the next 1 to 2 days.
The support rep that I dealt with did make a suggestion that I never had thought of. Heat the Techskin with a hair dryer or heat gun immediately before applying it. The Techskin itself is quite thick, so heating it, and cleaning the tablet thoroughly with rubbing alcohol, should make the perfect application.
From the feel of the skin, it should protect against most anything from scratches to minor, waist high, drops. Once I get the new ones applied, I'll post pictures, and if I'm feeling very risky, I might even do a couple of tests on the skin and post reviews.
I haven't ordered one yet, but I'm already eager to get it. Please post pics when you can! Product photos on Amazon won't do for me I hope it will be worth it!

Skinomi are great. I have their clear skins for all of my devices including the TF700 and dock. I had a problem with one of them peeling away at the edge a bit after a few months. I messed up putting another one on. They replaced both of them - no questions. This company really knows how to do customer service.

Ok, because I don't feel like uploading these to a photo share... You can also see the improvised feet using hot glue.
2 Drawsbacks
So I've had a skinomiskin for awhile but did not apply until recently (as this one was replacement of original skin). The product itself and customer service are phenomenal, but you have to watch out couple thing for Transformer Infinity.
1. Docking to mobile dock suddenly become extremely tight and to the point, I forced it in and ended up peeling the edge of the skin. Even with such a push, latch still did not lock. It was usable as keyboard input still seemed to work, but such tight fit makes me a bit concerned. Until the skin, my dock was a perfect fit.
2. Jot Touch sensitivity decrease - Still not a perfect stylus experience as Galaxy Note 10.1, which make sense since its the major selling feature of the device. But Jot Touch with Infinity gives alright performance without skinomi skin; however, with it on becomes poor. If you write big I think still fine, but try to write as small as you can that's when how true writing peformance on tablet can become noticeable.
The one thing I did with my Techskin, was not apply the screen protector. I love the Techskin for the outer protection though.
Is there any places I could take the tab and skin to to apply it? I honestly don't trust myself to put it on as perfectly as I want it to

I know places like Staples and Best Buy will usually do that for around $10-20, but if you use a heat gun, or hair dryer, while you're doing it... you can pull it back up a little and re-adjust as needed.
Just arrived
Just got mine in the mail. When I line up the camera holes at the top, the asus logo doesn't line up. When I ordered it from their web site they didn't have the tf700 carbon as a set for the dock and tablet. I called them and They said the one for the Prime was the exact same thing. I hope they make good on their word, cause I'm not so sure this is gonna work. I just checked the images on their web site and the Prime only has two holes on the back. I'll give them a call Monday. Just to let you know to beware. If I'm not mistaken, the one they sell for the tf700 doesn't have cutouts for the dock.
Skinomi + TranSleeve. Will it work?
Called & they sent me the correct skin in three days. Very easy to install. Tip - Slightly heated with a blow dryer before applying. Looks great!

I ordered a techskin for my tablet (TF700), as well as the transformer prime dock techskin for my TF700 dock (which is actually the same as the transformer prime dock anyway). The skins are a very good fit, and the tablet still easily slides in and out of the dock with the skin on. I'm still a bit worried about the protection of the corners of the tablet: the skin doesn't reach that far.
On a scale between 0-100, I'd give this a 85.
Long time Skinomi customer
I've purchased Skinomi skins for various other devices in the past, and have always been happy with the service especially and most times their product. So when I purchased my TF700T I went with the Skinomi dark wood skin (tablet only, don't have my dock in yet) I just got done applying it and I must say the design looks great, but I wasn't to thrilled with the cut of the corners. They just didn't have enough material their to really grip and stick onto the flat rounded edges of the infinity's corners. So I did a little manacuring and left the little things that tabs off, still looks good and I won't be flicking them and peeling them back all the time now. On the other hand the clear screen protector is a nightmare! I have absolutely no luck at putting these on and have always resulted in removing them days after application due to unwanted hairs and tiny specs that somehow find their way in there when applying. So perhaps the key is to have like a clean room with no moving air or dust, I dunno, I'm fine with just the back skin anyhow, I like the feeling of the super slick glass.
To those who have bought this: is this a viable alternative to ghost armor? I recently placed my order for the GA, but $80 for the skin and the screen protector ($40 for the screen protector alone) seemed a bit steep.

if you get the carbon fibre flavor it looks like it's the exact same material from 3M, so ghost armor is just overpriced techskin. unless they have some sort of magical laser cutting that makes it better than a perfect fit..
Thanks for the info. I'm primarily concerned about screen protector placement. Any idea what the people at the kiosks do that justifies the price?
I just received a 201 dock for my tf700. I have the carbon fiber skin and a screen protector on the tablet. it fits, but is extremely tight. I takes a good amount of force to get it to seat all the way into the dock. I just wanted to find out your thoughts about removing the felt lining inside the hinge. Has anyone done this? Any possibility that it can damage the tablet without the lining?
