Have a spare, sent mine back twice and got a charger each time.

i have an extra one

Go buy a charging dock from Verizon. It includes a standard charger and they are on clearance right now for $9.97. Even if you don't use the dock it'd chapter than just buying the charger which for some reason is still $30. I also heard Staples had Xoom accessories on sale for super cheap.

ebay has plenty. I bought a non OEM one for $10 (they included a car chager as well). also bought an official moto one of ebay for $8 this past week as a backup.

I can't use eBay looking for someone with an extra for sale

I have one but it probably wouldn't be worth it to you by the time shipping costs are included. As stated, just go to a Verizon store and get one for 10 bucks.

I know the OP was able to grab what they needed from Verizon, but for others who may be looking, another option is the HD Speaker Dock. If you can FIND one, they're going for $20 new from Verizon as clearance (prolly to make room for the Xyboard accessories). I went in person to a VW store and lucked out, getting the last one they had. I don't think (not willing to try it) you can plug the more powerful power source straight into the Xoom itself as an alternative to using the dock, but I have to say having the HDMI port in the back of the dock and the speakers is pretty nice, at $20 a pop.

I picked up a couple at a local Staples for $1.50 each. I have one extra I don't really see using.
If you're local in central CT I'd happy to give it away to someone who would use it.

Best source for cheap cables and other accesories

I thought I would share my favorite source for cheap usb cables and basically anything else. monoprice honestly, there stuff is decent quality and insanely cheap. this is my Micro USB of choice for only $0.72!!! order a lot so shipping isn't so stupid. I hate to pay $5.00 for shipping for a $1.00 order. Enjoy, and don't forget to thank me if you like this!

Been using it for years. great website.

I have few of these kind of cables lying around.
I will sell you for $4 shipped !
LOL

Bought some micro usb cables from them like couple weeks ago. Great quality and they were cheap also

been using them for years, I love monoprice.

I love monoprice also! Great site for cables on the cheap. But like you said, I hate having to spend more on shipping than I do for the actual cable. That's why I usually make a list of cables I need (maybe 2 or 3 at the very least) so the shipping is justified.

Awesome. Thanks, guys!

Costco Galaxy Tab 2 7.0

Not sure if this is common knowledge here, but Costco sells this tab for 240$ with a case. Just figured I'd let y'all know.

Yes, it's been posted a few times. They also offer the tab 2 10.1 with case for 379.99 at selected stores.
.

Oh okay sorry for the repeat thread.
Mods delete this if you want.

I might be wrong but I think it is more of a pouch than the actual case. Costco has the same offer on the 10.1 for $379.99

It is just a pouch, but it works good for me.

Picked it up to try but looks like I'll be returning..
- No ad hoc WiFi support
- No standard USB port to charge (must use Samsung cable to USB charge)
- Nearly every Gameloft game doesn't support 7"
- A few EA games work but are a bit sluggish
I really like it otherwise and would recommend if the above do not matter, but they are deal breakers for me. I tried a 10" too and find that 7" is mo betta for a mobile device. 10" just too big for me.
Nice thing about Costco is easy to return.

There is a way for ad hoc support. Few forums on that topic. Can use a previous wpa_supplicant file and replace it. Won't get into logistics but the tab needs to be rooted and permissions changed on the file and using Wi-Fi Tether change to a device profile w/SoftAp and you got tethering wirelessly. FYI.
Too bad for proprietary charger and games but extremely mobile.

If you are rooted you can fix two of your four issues and the charger is like that with any tablet you get.

I rooted mine and love it. It works fine tethered to my thunderbolt.
As for games, i am not sure as i usevmine former and movies.

I could see how not having a standard USB port would bother people, but that's nothing new to Samsung. Chances are that when people are doing their research online that they will see that.
I bought mine from BJ's Warehouse last weeek as it was on sale for $229 with the offical leather samsung pouch. (Samsung sells the pouch for $49 but I would not have paid for that as a separate accessory).
The tab was $20 bucks off but I purchased an extended 2 year warranty for $20 which includes accidental coverage. That gives three years total warranty, including the Mfr one year warranty (without accidental coverage).
If you are going to buy form BJ's they only have a 15 day return period for tablets but I have never had any return hassels from them.
I gave my wife my Original Verizon Samsung Tab 7 and I think she is hooked now on it.

Also, that's a great deal you got. I paid full price ($250) from Best Buy with full insurance for a year ($80 (Includes idiocy protection... I mean accident protection), since it will be my main device for basically everything) and feel like I got a little jipped but can definitely live with it since this is a GREAT tablet.

Well, it is not advertised, but the same $239.99 + pouch at all Costco locations. I bought mine there last week, call ahead, alot of stores sold out over the weekend.

Prices in store for Costco are always lower than they are online for their electronics from what I've seen. It could also be related to specials that are running for certain time periods with the coupon booklets they send out.

Well I'm not an expert, but I do travel a bit and end up visiting a few Costco stores. There is no sale or coupon. Some stores have the 7 inch and some stores have the 10 inch, while others have neither. They both come with a sleeve. $239 for the 7 inch and $379.00 for the 10 inch. With the addition of sales tax and not wanting the sleeve anyway, I bought mine online YMMV.

So how does everyone here like their tablet so far? I can't tell if the screen is blurry using the chrome beta or if I just need new contacts (waiting for them to be shipped lol).

I personally love it. Haven't been able to put it down since I got it on Saturday. AOSP on this thing is sick!

Walmart has the 10.1 for $369. I got best buy to price match it.

7 inch are 199.00 at Microcenter, picked 2 up yesterday at that price.

M.O.J.O on Woot for $64.99 plus shipping - 2/13/2016

Woot has the MOJO for $64.99 plus $5.00 for shipping.

I almost bought it from Woot 30 minutes ago until I noticed that Woot said the box came with only Mad Catz M.O.J.O. and the Micro-Console for Android Controller while the Groupon deal @ $69.99 (after taxes for me came out to be the same price) says the box comes with Mad Catz M.O.J.O. console, Mad Catz C.T.R.L.R gamepad, HDMI cable, AC adapter, USB adapter, controller travel clip, two AAA batteries. I went with the Groupon deal.

I see the discrepancy in the description of the accessories but I think (and hope) that they are the same. It seems to me that the console must obviously include the AC adapter and, similarly, the controller would include the travel clip and batteries. These are NEW condition so nobody should have gone in and removed these included in the box items.

Look at the specs tab here. All accessories included.

Nice. It was going for $99 and change on Amazon for the past 3 days. I think the Groupon deal comes cheaper since it has Free Shipping.
The WOOT deals comes to $74 plus change with shipping.

I think you need to look again. It's $64.99 + $5.00 shipping. That's $69.99 everytime I add it up. It's also what my total came to when I ordered it this morning.

I clearly saw the 74.99 reason why I paused to check it also on Groupon. Tax must have been included (im in PA).
Anyway, still a better deal than $100 . Hope you got yours.

Aside from the peace of mind of Groupon's clearly stated box contents, it was actually a few cents cheaper because Woot added tax to my checkout cart.

Guys, I was able to get a further $10 off the Groupon deal using the LUX10 (for new customers only). I grabbed the code from this website http://promocode2016.com/groupon/promo-code/
Not sure it will ever get this low again

Drat, that is a super deal.

I would suggest looking out for offers at Amazon too. Besides, Amazon promo codes can help claim reasonable discounts on your purchases.
