[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] scm_crash:
These tablets are designed to be super portable. Doesn't it defeat the purpose if you're lugging along a power brick, USB converters, cases, cleaners, etc.?

I simply can't see needing so much stuff. I have an Asus G73 Laptop (which is enormous) and a USB powered 16" second monitor. The laptop is power hungry so it has a GIANT power brick. I keep a full size mouse (Logitech MX Pro), HDMI adapter, headphones and misc USB cables with it and I pack this all into my laptop case which in total weighs about 20Lbs. (maybe more)

This is my mobile workstation. I need to be able to do my job from anywhere and be able to pack it up in as small a package as possible.

But a tablet is for fun personal use. I can't see lugging around more than just the tablet itself inside a nice neoprene case. If you're going on a trip or a flight, you put the AC charger in your suitcase and make sure you have a full battery.

Maybe I'm wrong (or just annoyed with taking so much stuff around with me) but it seems something ultra portable should stay ultra portable.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] curreyr:
I agree about being "ultra portable" ...

That's the reason I posted about the car-charger (and emPower) adapters.

If you travel long distances, you do need some adapters.

Long haul flights (and even some domestics) have 3 options ...

"cigarette plug" ... the NTK bullet suffices

"120v" (usually dual for US or UK) ... the stock charger suffices

"emPower" ... the small adaptor + NTK bullet suffices

There is also a potential need for this when traveling international.

In total all of that kit is MUCH less than the equivalent for a "laptop" (ask me how I know).

Also, you can check a site like seatguru.com to know what you actually might need/want in your carry-on.

---------- Post added at 02:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:18 PM ----------

Uh, the point about the 12v/2a NTK is you can fully charge from "cigarette" plug without the bulk of an inverter ...

Also, the 5v adapters won't charge (or maintain?) at all (according to this thread)

---------- Post added at 02:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:27 PM ----------

United + Contenental + Air Canada may have emPower ports (A320/757/767 typically).

And even then it's hit or miss if they actually function :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
Why the he'll would ya need to charge it on a flight or in a car? Your gonna drive for 12hours!

And I'm gonna take it your getting the dock so 18 hours!

And battery life will probably only improve with ICS
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] curreyr:
USA domestic, coast to coast (door to door) for me can easily be 12ish hours. (that can involve time in a rental car, layovers, etc)

Even if AC is available during a layover, it doesn't give much time for recharge.

When you consider international:

West coast to asia is also 12ish (no chance of layover recharge).

West coast to europe likely 24ish (possible layover recharges, but also need that intl plug adapter).

So, it matters to me.

With dock and watching vids ... 18hrs would suffice. I tho expect less than that for my usage (not just a vid or book).

I am not sure how the suction cup would work on the Asus PRIME since the back of the device is not smooth but grooved. This grooving might prevent a suction seal to the PRIME.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xXxDieselxXx:
Is there a good place to buy the ASUS External USB Adapter other than ExcaliperPC?

It seems to be out of stock everywhere I look.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GarJones27:
I think the back is more just a concentric circle pattern not like there are actual ridges to prevent it from tightly mounting to a suction cup. PLUS each kit comes with adhesive-backed vinyl circles to attach to your device in case they do not offer a flat enough surface to latch on to.

Class 4 vs 10

Unless you are recording HD video to the SD card, class 10 is a BIG waste of money. The class only refers to the write speed, NOT the read speed. If you are just loading videos or music onto the SD card, then even class 2 will be fine. It may take you longer to load info to the card, but it is NOT going to be slower in reading the data compared to class 10.

These class ratings are really needed for HD video camcorders and high FPS cameras that demand high bit rate & speeds. I use a 6 for 720p video on my nikon dslr, but class 2 for my phone/tablets where it is just used to store movies, songs, pictures, etc...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] scm_crash:
This is a really good point. And honestly I don't plan to do video recording with my prime. I have a Sensation with HD recording already. Carrying around a tablet for video recording reminds me of the old days of camcorders where you had to have the VHS recorder hanging from your shoulder and the giant camera sitting on your shoulders.

Besides, the class 4 and class 6 64 and 128GB SDs are going to come down in price very soon.

Excuse myignorance but what is the USB adaptor for?

Also can't decide on a cover, plan to he using my prime for work so will bring the dock with me while travelling a lot thinking of just getting a netbook bag and a sleeve for around the house.

Any opinions?

Thanks for the great list op
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joepic:
The USB adapter plugs into the PRIME to give you a USB port (that's one thing that it is missing). Of course if you have the keyboard you get a USB port.

I purchased a iPod bag at Walmart for a PRIME which I don't have yet! It has a handle and a strap and full protection for the PRIME and keyboard. I am waiting on Tuf-Luv's case which will be available at the end of January.

I have 3 PRIMEs on order (GameStop, BB & Amazon). I did get my keyboard on Wednesday.

I am glad you like my list. I thought it would be great to have a complete accessory list (without having to read a million post) to find most of the hardware and some of the software we all need to make the PRIME the best tablet on the market. Doing my searches for the list opened my eyes to many functions that the PRIME can do that I never thought about.

Verteks slim line

I like the look of this case a little better than the other Verteks case. It might also allow you to dock the keyboard without taking the case all the way off.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rjscott2005:
The description states that it has a magnetic lock.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kgirl91:
Glad to hear good things about this case because my bf bought it for his TF101 and hated it.. he thought the little stiff latch on the front was putting scuff marks on his tablet. Maybe it would have softened up with use but he went with the bulkier velcro-foot vipertek.

Also, to the OP- you listed the HHI Asus Transformer Prime TF201 Anti-Fingerprint, Anti-Glare, Matte Finished Screen Protector (3 Pack) - $13, but for those of us who don't want our pretty screen obscured by the matte protector they also offer a "crystal" one.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joepic:
Thanks, added the CLEAR. I have seen a few comments where folks want something to cut down the glare and keep the finger prints off. That is the reason I listed the MATTE finish one.

@2fastkuztoms I WISH there was a TPU case; I love that they are slim but still protective. There was only one for the TF101 though (and it was not slim at all) so I doubt we'll see one for a while.

I purchased both the USB and SD card adapter on Dec 8 hoping for a Christmas present of my PRIME. So I took a chance. Well the PRIME arrived on Thursday for a New Year's present and both adapters WORK OK! Plus I also purchased an extra power adapter and a couple of 5 ft cables. Everything is GREAT.

Since this thing has GPS issues for many.. How about adding a few bluetooth GPS receivers that are known to work with the Prime? Anyone have any suggestions? I'd like to be able to do navigation with it if possible.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joepic:
Excellent suggestion. I am aware of several but have not added them to my list yet because I am not sure that the GPS bluetooth information will be available to Android apps. I believe 1 of 2 things need to be working:

1. The Android app needs to have an optional input method for either bluetooth or the default hardware in the device.

2. Or a third party app needs to intercept the bluetooth data and present it to the GPS app. If you use a GPS with a laptop it presents the data to the application in a default standard format for the program to use.

No matter what the out come with Asus on the GPS, I would like to use an external (more sensitive, generic) GPS receiver that the PRIME talks to. This way the PRIME can be anywhere in the car and still get an excellent SAT fix.

Any suggestions????
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Charsher47:
I check back here every so often to see if new stuff is added, so great work :)

Suggestion - maybe the TF101 cases can be put in a differently numbered section so we can easily identify which ones are specifically for the prime and which are for the original.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kborer22:
possible new category/disappointing selection of cases

First of all to the OP, thanks for this amazing list of accessories!

have you considered adding a category for stand alone desktop stands such as

http://www.bluelounge.com/products/nest/

I know it may be somewhat redundant with most of these cases also being stands, but for those opting for a neoprene sleeve, i plan on getting one of these.

Overall i have to say i am extremely disappointed in the selection of cases. Most of the cases/stands are "leather" and completely unappealing IMHO. The origami/touch pro sleeve scratches the prime and doesn't actually stick the back of the prime so it flops around when trying to hold it.

I'd like a quality fabric or even a nice plastic/soft touch material. Hopefully of the major players in the ipad accessories will produce some quality cases for the prime. Something like this case for the kindle fire http://www.marware.com/microshell-folio-kindle-fire-cover or any of these https://www.speckproducts.com/tablet-ipad-cases/ipad-2-cases.html for the ipad would be amazing.

thanks again for this thread!

You should really consider your class 10 only micro SD card stance.

For one thing at the 64GB capacity the highest you can get is Class 6, and many Class 4 Sandisk cards outperform class 10 cards in real world testing.

Another offline GPS navigation app that works great with the Prime is CoPilot Live (I haven't tested version 9, but version 8 works great).

I'd also like to mention The Universal Arkon Portable Fold-Up Stand. It's a great portable stand that I've used with three tablets, perfect for the kitchen table setting. I've given a couple as gifts with great responses.

As for a portable Bluetooth GPS, I've carried a Holux M-1200 in my pocket for years and have used it across multiple devices and internationally. Very compact and great battery life.

If people come to the TF201 accessory thread(the ultimate thread no less) they shouldn't have to second guess every item for compatibility. It's a no brainer.

I just sold my Archos and am getting the Prime on Tues or Wed. I kept my Archos in a zipper bag with strap that I got off Amazon here is the link

http://www.amazon.com/Density-FlexW...IH2Q/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1325923240&sr=8-2

I now want a case for it to be protected while I am using it and of course to be able to stand it up while watching a movie. I have no idea which case to buy. I will still put the whole thing in my bag probably for carrying purposes.

At home I may not need it in the case when laying around but at work or Starbucks I will want it in a case. Another Prime forum accessory thread listed like 3 or 4 one being the Roocase executive which is expensive 35 bucks and zips I think and looked nice. I also read about the MiniSuit ASUS Transformer Prime Case TF201 Leather Multi-View stand folio case cover and 14.95 and then there's MoKo(TM) Slim Cover Case with Stand 19.99 and one more Vereteks for 9.95 oh and someone mentioned this poetic one for 9.95.

Who has any of these cases and which would you guys recommend? I want it to stand in both L & P and not cover any buttons. And I guess If I'm playing a game or on Facebook would like to be able to access it well while it's still in the case if I am at work. Some say with slide out sleeve or something I don't know what that means and I would like a case that the tablet is easy to get in and out of.

Thanks! I went to the beginning of this thread and it's too long to read it all. I come here alot for cell phone stuff didn't even know there was a prime thread glad I found it cause I'll have mine next week.
