[Q] Xoom portfolio type case for transformer?

I currently have a xoom that I will be returning Friday for a transformer and I was wondering if there's a portfolio type case for the transformer like the xoom has? I have the portfolio case and love it. Its great for playing games and reading in bed.
Here's a link if no one knows what I'm talking about.

Yes, that looks really nice. I ordered one from amazon for $39.99, its out of stock now but I'm willing to wait instead of paying $50 + shipping from the other seller listed currently. Its under more buying options on the middle right.

That one is pretty close, but I was hoping for something with a bigger bottom base.. hopefully a lot more pop up soon.

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.

Snap I ordered mine to, I paid by paypal so fingers crossed all goes ok for both of us.
I will post here when I get mine will you do the same.

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

How much is a dock really worth?

I'm really itching to get a dock, but from what I've read is a tablet + dock shouldn't be more than $150. Problem is I was thinking of trying to trade an iPod 3rd Gen for one. I've no clue of the value of the iPod or what gb it is though.

Check eBay and local prices.
The tablet with dock is going for $250+ on eBay, consistantly, not $150+ - check the prices and perhaps use a price-tracker app. You might get a better deal on Craigslist since people often use that to try to make a quick sale.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda app-developers app

Checked Craigslist but I live in Mississippi and can't find a dock even in surrounding states for some reason. I've got a tablet, bought it last year on sale so I don't need that. I read a few posts saying $150, guess they were wrong as I'm seeing non working tabs for $100
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium

Usually you can get the dock refurbished from stores around 90-120$... but all the stores seem to be out of stock now.

Alright I guess I'll see if I can sell this iPod at a pawnshop and see if they'll give me enough for a dock.

You should be able to get just the dock for about $99, I think.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda app-developers app

I wish this forum still had a marketplace. I literally haven't used my dock in 3 or 4 months (I just charge it up once in a while to keep the battery healthy). It's in good shape and I even still have the box.
I guess what I'm getting at is pm me if you are interested in possibly buying from another xda member.

[Q] Any ideas where I can get a keyboard dock in the UK?

Been searching around but only sellers I can find are in the states.
Failing that does anyone know if the prime or TF300 docks are compatible?

The UK only sold them as a unit together. Your best bet is look for a TF201 dock.

Thanks for the info. The ebayer I got it took didn't declare it was a us one I only found out when I opened the package up and found a us charger. Glad I didn't have to bid too high to get it.
I've got a prime already, will try it in that dock.

The prime dock will fit the Infinity just fine. The TF300 dock will fit, if only loosely. If you want to use it though, you need to pad the back of the Infinity with tough cloth tape. You can't pad the front as it fits snugly into the dock on that side.

Tf700t price tag

How much should I sell the tablet for? It's unlocked and I also have the dock for it. How much for all and how much separate? Thanks in advanced

Check ebay. Nobody will buy it for more than they ask there unless you offer it with a clean installation of a good custom rom AND you find a buyer who knows enough to appreciate it.

I'm thinking about selling my tablet with my dock too, but is ebay a really good place? Several times already I've seen them having sales of the tf700 at $250 US dollars. Would pawn shops be beneficial?

Generally, a pawn shop is the worst place to try getting anything close to market value for an item. You might get lucky and find a shop that does not know how to properly value used electronics and give you something close to fair value. But I would lean toward ebay, or craigslist if you live in a large enough city/region - CL usually means a lower selling price, but no ebay/paypal fees or having to worry about shipping issues or buyer remorse.

Where would you go to check the going price for a used consumer electronics item?
As long as there is one for sale on ebay, you won't get a better price elsewhere.

would you guys with the docks be willing to sell just the dock? I never got the dock to begin with because at first i didnt think it was worth turning my tablet into a little netbook type of thing but recently ive seen more and more people type up notes with their keyboard and tablet in class and im interested to see if its worth it.
Im kinda going on a tangent but did you guys get alot of use from the dock?

Sold mine for 400. Best place is Facebook on any of the university forums.

I originally bought the dock to type my school papers on the go. Then I would transfer and fix it, but I just bought a laptop for that. I didn't really use the dock
