Has anyone found an additional stock charger for the transformer yet? I LOVE my tablet but in using it for my IT stuff, it sure would be nice to have an additional charger. I don't have the dock (yet).
So has anyone had any luck with finding extra long cables? Not really a big deal but it sure would be nice having another foot or two of cable length.
I tried a standard extention and it doesn't work.Why not just use a female to male USB extension? Thats what I plan to do when mine comes in.

Actually, the USB plug on the tf cable got 5 'springs' instead of 4 as in standard "A" plug.
Not sure but the new USB 3 might be an option.
Bought a 3 foot USB 3.0 extension from monoprice.com. It works very well for me. Now my Transformer doesn't sit precariously on the side of my desk.
If only we could get a charging cable that was longer to begin with
The ideal (in my opinion) configuration is a (1) wall plug with cable from "DX-UA universal" kit with male barrel plug end on cable (unplug the box with selector voltages - probably not needed), plug barrel into (2) "USB A Female to 5525 Plug Female USB 5V Power Adapter" from ebay for example, and (3) plug in your TF101 cable.
Now you have 15v charging without using the wall plug from Asus and it is about 6 feet longer.
Total cost should be about $8USD + $5USD = $13USD including shipping.
Things can go wrong with this plan, as the original wall plug from Asus can have some special features, like trickle or otherwise. But, this works for me, YMMV, and at your own risk. Good luck.
Huh - I have the dx-ua - never occurred to mme tto take the selector out - have you stuck that on a voltmeter to see hwat it pushes out with no selector? I might give this a shot.
That's actually near perfect thanks for checking
Just noticed an Asus AC Adapter for Transformer Tablets for preorder at Frys:
FRYS.com*|*ASUS COMPUTER INT'L
I modded my tablet to charge with 2.5mm barrel plug. It only goes into *charging ac* mode with ~15v like the DX-UA wall plug. It says not charging if I attach the 11v the slider switch with a tip . Now I like the DX-UA even more because the 2.5mm tip will not work but the wall plug and cable with barrel plug works great (without the proprietary cable).
After I mod my dock, no more proprietary cables needed for me until accessories appear.
Pictures? Just curious
