My USB cable has become frayed. It's not broke yet but I kinda want to refrain from using it. Now my question is:
Is there somewhere I can buy this cable or a replacement one?

Btw, I noticed that standard micro USB works would there be ill effects?

There won't be any ill effects from using a standard MicroUSB cable; you just need to be careful to not move the device around much while it's plugged in, or it'll fall out.

As for a replacement, I've had no luck in tracking down an aftermarket one. The only thing I can suggest is contacting your local Asus service centre to see if they sell it as a spare part.

OUCH! (yes, click on the word; it's a link ).

Some sellers obviously know how to bleed the market when they know nobody else has a product many people want. Take good care of your Asus USB cable folks, 'cause $50+ is no laughing matter.

50$ for a cable?!!

Very sneaky move from Asus... I can't believe how they expect me to buy another ASUS device after seeing this

And I thought that the offical case for the tablet and the car dock were expensive

EDIT:

Here are some cheaper that I found:
