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?

I'm trying to find a good sleeve that accommodates both the 700 and the dock simultaneously. Had a great Poetic case for the 101 and bought a replacement for the 700, but for those times when I need to travel with both I figured a sleeve would be a smart option, but still haven't seen anything that definitively works. Prefer stretchy/micro-suede over leather. Any ideas?

I have a neoprene netbook sleeve with no zipper stretch over top, work great for tf700 with or without dock.

I'm likely going to get one of them too, just not sure which one to get -- I think Neoprene is the best solution, just don't love the way an older netbook sleeve (neoprene) picks up dust in a briefbag. I have one for an Asus netbook so I should be good to go, but haven't even looked into brands (yet) -- which one do you have?
Mine's a kensington I got in a netbook starter kit with cheap mouse and desk lock. Mine has pull over flap at top that fits tight with or without dock an provides some padding for impact protection.

I think mine's a Belkin, I've used it for the Netbook but I'm going to see how it rolls with my 101/keyboard combo, can't imagine the size will be that different that there will be a discrepancy -- if mine works I'll stick with it, I've used the keyboard really infrequently so I'm not too-too worried. But I'll keep an eye out, Kensington's definitely a possibility...
Thanks for the heads up...
Anyone using the zagg invisible shield for tf201 on tf700? was thinking of getting this, just not sure if it fits well.. Thanks...
I have the full body Zagg on my tf700. Works fine. A little snug on the dock.

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.

Just got a SGP Skin Guard for the Asus Eee Pad Transformer, as it's designed for TF101 it's a little bit too long and a not quite as deep as it could be, but that being said it only needs a tiny bit of trimming to avoid curving around the edge of the tf700, the lack of height isn't an issue as the space cut for the ASUS logo and the hole for the camera line up nicely.
For me the it's pretty much perfect as I like to use the tablet outside of a case, but have already made a couple of scratches in the metal back, this way the it at least provides protection against that.
Not bad for $20.
Can you please post some photos. Thanks
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
