I'm impressed!

I ordered on Tuesday and they arrived in today's (Thursday) mail.

The cables are almost twice as long as the stock Asus cable and are slightly stiffer.
The one I tested works fine for both data transfer and battery charging.
The TF connector looks identical to one on the ASUS cable and fits snugly.

Pretty good deal for a little over $8.00 delivered. It's a shame that they tripled the price, but it's still an OK deal.

I too received mine today as well. Pretty good as far as I can tell. I also ordered the 2 dollar case and must say the case looks every bit worth the 2 bucks and not a dime more. Oh well, good charger cables though.

Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium

Received mine today as well (5 minutes ago)

Cannot get the cable to charge, or detect the device when connected to my 'puter.

Have only tried one, so far....

only out $5 bucks, though.....

got mine as well, charges good, but my laptop can't see it.. oh well..

Is yours stock, or ROM'd?

I am running ARHD 3.1.0, and mistakenly ran the 3G enabler script to use a 3G modem, not knowing it won't work right now.

Apparently, one of the side effects is it kills the USB connection to the tablet. I re-flashed ARHD 3.1.0 right over top, and it cleared right up.

Hope that helps

My stock cable dos fine, this one dos not. I'm not worried about it, as long as it charges, I'm good.
