Wonna buy this keyboard-case combo. Who has it jet ??? Any video there ??
http://www.expansys.com/samsung-bluetooth-keyborad-case-fo-galaxy-tab-10-1-219894/
thanks from spirotech
I have been searching for this thing all day. I found one at shop brando .com but unfortunately I cannot post links yet. It was selling for $59.00 but It doesn't state if it's for the 10.1 or 7. It looks like a seven though. I guess I'll keep googling.
Keeping my eye out for this too. But the thumb keyboard works great for on the go. Have keyboard dock for home. But this anywhere solution would have its advantages. The only downer is wifi + Bluetooth = battery drain. Where the keyboard dock can charge your tab while in use.
It will be interesting to see how it impacts battery on both the keyboard and tablet .

FYI, it's on Expansys' USA site now. Looks like it's available August 4:

Ouch! $133? I am hoping that is a gouge price, but fear it's a discounted street price. Lol. The Asus Transformer dock had a battery, 2 USB ports, and SD card slot... and a track pad. But I guess its profile was much thicker.
The Logitech BT Keyboard with case is $60 at Best Buy. This is over twice that and $50 more than the dock itself. Very much off the mark in pricing in my opinion, and I rarely question the pricing of accessories.

final retail price.
Sammy is overpricing every official accessory now.
I just think if we give it time, more will pop up and for better prices.
£97.99 = $160.91, so $134.99 is decently less.
djchad, what case would you use for your Galaxy if you went with the Logitech BT keyboard? It looks like the Logitech only has a case for the KB itself.
Right now, I am solely using the Leather Pouch from Samsung. It was $27 here locally. I use the Samsung keyboard dock at home and just have the media dock at work. I thought about the Samsung Notebook case. But they have been hard to come by. After thinking about it....this case/keyboard maybe worth it. When trying to take notes in a meeting .... I'm all thumbs even with the thumb keyboard. Lol
But for the money and 100% handheld use, the leather pouch is great.

Thanks for the Expansys link, I just ordered one. I have a business trip later this month and having the keyboard will help, hopefully I get it before then, they are showing 7 days ship time so we'll see.

I saw a video of this official case (same part #) the other day. The video continued to show the same setup for the Tab 8.9, it was just a slightly smaller version - but the same.
It's in Spanish but you get to see the 10.1 and 8.9 official cases:

Doh! Well that will teach me
Weight : 1.22 lbs
It does seem to be out in South Korea, with a review here:
http://blog.naver.com/PostView.nhn?blogId=jyeonss&logNo=134414133&redirect=Dlog&widgetTypeCall=true
Hard to make sense of everything, but the scale clearly shows the Tab + bluetooth keyboard cover adding up to 1.12 kg, i.e., about 2.47 lbs. So, the Bluetooth keyboard case is about the same weight as the Tab itself(1.25 lbs). The total weight is almost the same as the 11 inch Macbook Air ...
Expansys has it for 133.99, which is less than the rumored 169.99, but still enough to make me think twice before buying it. I'd want to actually try out the keyboard and check the battery life before committing to it.
It's also available on Samsung's German Site:
http://www.samsung.de/de/Privatkund...ubehoer/bkc1b1d/BKC-1B1DEBGXEG/accdetail.aspx
I emailed them, and shipping to the US is 29 €
149 € + 29 € = 178 € = $253
Ouch...

Have you all seen this yet? Just came across it today:
http://www.zagg.com/accessories/zag... For Your Tablet Or Smartphone#about-features
Price is right with a built in battery!
And there's this:
http://www.logitech.com/en-us/tablet-accessories/for-android/devices/keyboard-case-samsung-galaxy
Which is the Zagg KB with a snap-on aluminum cover made for the 10.1.
Hi guys. I am really interested in buying one of these.
http://www.dodgybastards.co.nz/bluetooth-keyboard-case-for-10-1-galaxy.html
I was wondering if any of you guys own this? If anyone does would you mind giving me your opinion on this case?
There seem to be next to no reviews of this case out there whereas there are a lot of reviews about the zagg and Logitech cases. Unfortunately those brands oonly sell cases for ipad here in new zealand. Thanks
I own this and am quite happy with it. Looks good and the keyboard is a joy to type on.
Two things I'm not very happy about are weight (unavoidable, I guess) and, mostly, that there is no way to use it with the tab in portrait mode. Oh, and I think it is a tad too expensive.
I would have bought the Logitech, if only I could. For the portrait mode. But I don't at all regret having bought the Samsung.
You can see the thing in action on Youtube (mind you, in Italian). I was going to post the link but, as a new user, I can't. Search for "Tastiera originale Samsung per Galaxy Tab 8.9 e 10.1"

thanks for your reply mate, really appreciate it. yeh its a tad expensive isnt it, thats why I wanted some opinions before buying it. I never use my tablets in potrait mode, unless I am reading a comic which is very rare. the 10.1 just looks silly in potrait if you ask me lol
Also, I usually prefer to have it on my lap rather than on desks, does the stand sit stable on laps? because the stand kinda looks weak and unstable. I know it'll be fine on desks and tables but does it slide around when in your lap?
The stand is indeed very flimsy. OK for a table or desk, provided we don't push or pull the keyboard. As for a lap, I hadn't even considered it. Well, I just tried and... no. Absolutely not.
It is sort of possible to forget about the stand and leave the tablet flat. Requires one hand to hold it or it will hit the floor in no time. Not practical at all.
After I bought the Samsung case, I saw a Logitech look-alike on Amazon UK. I wouldn't really risk buying one now because: 1) I already own a very nice keyboard case, and 2) the only sellers offering it have appalingly low ratings. Still, if it works as advertised and one could find a reputable source...
Again, no links. But try searching for "Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard Aluminum Case for Samsung Galaxy Tab10.1"...

thanks bro. yeh i think i will wait like you said before buying one. i am just really annoyed that ipad has so many accessories whereas I cant find a decent keyboard case which can sit on my lap. cheers for your replies!
I got one from Amazon real nice Fuax lwther with built in Bluetooth Keyboard. I paid $47.95 plus shipping about a month ago but just went to get the link and its on sale for $39.95.
this works perfectly.

hey thanks for the link bro. I've owned similar cases for other tablets before and I really dont like the rubber keyboards on them.
oh and I went ahead and bought the samsung keyboard dock instead of the keyboard case. the dock is great. since it has got the 30 pin connector, the tab slots right in and you dont have to worry about it falling. and most importantly the dock sits stable on my lap and I can type just like a normal laptop. it doesnt move around. I really like it
omg that one is too expensive dude..
maybe you can check Apple bluetooth Keyboard.. quite good man. it's light, good materials and 100% compatible.
Logitech bluetooth keyboard is a very good choice aswell.
good luck bro.
I have the Zagg case and it is pretty great. I also have the Samsung white keyboard which is almost perfect except that it will revert to the Samsung on screen keyboard after using it . This is a pain since I use touchpal.
The new OEM keyboard case looks handsome but not as useful as Zagg.

Gday,
can you tell me if the Genuine Samsung keyboard case can be folded over if i dont need the keyboard if im playing a game or watching a vid?
Thanks
this case looks indeed awesome guys. but the price wtf....
its just a keyboard with buildin bluetooth and a case!! ok its oem but who cares, not worth the money i think.
for a -50% offer i would buy it!

Yes, it can. There's four little rubber stops that keep the keys off the screen when closed that double as feet when fold the keyboard under the way you described. And while yes, it's pricey, it's the slimmest, best fitting, and best made of the keyboard cases out there.
I purchased the official case cover a few days ago from Samsung. I am shocked about how few reviews there have been online. I could not find a decent video review. I am hoping that the build quality is decent, as my Zagg keyboard (Zaggfolio) broke - the space bar no longer works. I will probably take the replacement keyboard they sent me and sell it on ebay.
By the way, I saved 15% by using the coupon code: Samsung#1 on the Samsung.com website and got free next day air shipping.

Here is my review of the Samsung OEMKeyboard case.
Pro's
Very light, form fitting, well designed. Easy to type on.
Con's
No touchpad, no sd port, no built in battery, pretty expensive, cannot really use effectively in the portrait mode.
Overall, this is clearly superior to the Zaggfolio. .. but pales in comparison to the Asus Transformer keyboard (which is the same MSRP).

Just got this case today and I must say I am completely happy with this purchase.
It literally turns your tablet into a laptop.
Duqjag complains about not having a touch pad however the entire screen is a touch pad which would make a little square panel obsolete and difficult to use.
My only quarms with this keyboard is the left shift key being so small that you'll find yourself with a lot of \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ on your screen when trying to capitalize a letter.
Also if there were a way to make certain trigger keys customizable this would enhance the experence too. e.g. the mail button opens the mail app as opposed to the google mail app. Internet button opens the stock browser as opposed to Opera or dolphin.
It stands up on almost every surface without issue and if you fold the keyboard over it also acts as a bottom panel to keep the screen in a face up position.
Vertically it doesnt work but do laptops????
Fork out the cash I say and enjoy the ride. As tablets get better internally, 10.1 will still be a dimension samsung keeps using so i can confidentally say that this case will be transferable to newer models.
Hi,
I've got the Samsung BT-Keyboard-Case here in Germany for a really affordable price - 57,- €, and it is worth every cent. The look and feel of the case is noble, but durable, and when I carry it arround here at my college the I-Thing-users get possessive.
It has a built-in recharable battery which lasts for some 3 days. I use it flipped over as a night stand at my bed, listening to Tune-in radio, I work with it every day, and the cover protects the case perfectly.
The only con is that it doubles the weight of the pure tab, but I really can say that I am happy with it and would always buy it again.
I am looking for keyboard as well, want something nice, shineny neath, but inexpensive. (Not sure it does exist )
Are those aluminum bluetooth keyboard on ebay and amazon so useless? Any suggestion pls.
If i can not find any good review on those no brand keyboard i might have to buy logitech and it costs fortune

Seen as it xmas time ive decided to treat myself,or rather treat my phone, ive picked up some good accessories at some good prices, some of you may already have these items but ive noticed they have gone down in price in the last 6 weeks.
I've purchased as follows....
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004BR2ZTM
excellent price for a 32GB SD card, Lexar like Sandisk are one of the leaders when it comes to SD cards.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0050N42QU
I've already got a case but decided i like the look of this and at this price it's a bargain.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004WMGI94
Original Sammy battery at this price = serious bargain.
hi dude not bad extras but
the sgs2 cae you linked isnt that cheap when you add the postage really it works out to like 6 quid odd and seems a bit of a rip off having to pay nearly 5 pounds postage for a really light case , infact i despise sellers that make their money by over charging on postage ebay stopped this ages ago!!! you can get sgp neo hybrids of ebay for less the 10 pounds with free postage
lexmar do make ok cards but i prefer sandisk and they can be had a pound or two cheaper the lexmars ive used have varying read/write speeds sometimes mega quick , sometimes mega slow , sandisk has always been more constant for me and reliable too
id also be a bit skeptical about that battery being genuine at that price , if it isnt genuine youve paid over the odds for a fake , if it is genuine its cheap , however its not sold by amazon so id be skeptical to say the least , if you notice amazon sell the same battery for £12 you can almost gurantee the amazon one will be genuine but the one from the seller you linked has no gurantee its genuine and he could just be selling good fakes
my best extras have been
#sandisk card at £26
#sgp neo hybrid for £8
#jvc earbuds for £15 (super headphones too)
#3 pack of matte screen protectors for £2.75
#genuine 2000mah battery £27
#genuine samsung desktop battery charger for £8
Where can you find the Sgp neo hybrid for £8, all the ones I have found have been around £19.99

It's sold by SAMSUNG so i would imagine the chances of it being fake are zero...as for the postage, the only thing i paid postage on was the case and it was still cheap, this case is still being sold in carphone warehouse for over £15 i seen it myself a few weeks ago, as for Lexar, i agree Sandisk are number 1 but Lexar are not far behind the the reviews for this are pretty much postive, a class 10 32GB card at this price IMO is a steal.

if you bought it from samsung / amazon / play / mobile fun chances are it would be genine but lots of 3rd party sellers on these sites sell fakes so was just saying
hopefully yours isnt and everything is fine and hunky dory

Most of the reviews are good you are always going to get bad reviews on Amazon no matter if the product is 100% perfect.
I do believe it's genuine but certainly if it isn't ill be looking for a refund, as soon as i get it ill be testing it.
Just reporting back - the battery is definitely real, it's exactly the same as the one that came with the phone and lasts pretty much the same maybe a little longer.
The Lexar SD card is excellent and the read and write speed is impressive enough, and finally the mesh case looks really cool, if you are really obsessed about protecting your phone from damage this case isn't for you, however if you are careful with your phone and want it to look great this is thge case for you.
Merry xmas

I will be getting the lexar card, simply because it's a class 10 and is slightly cheaper than the class 4 sandisk. Also the battery CAN still be fake. The chinese guys go through a lot of work to make sure it looks identical but it can still be real. Only way to find out is to keep using it

I just got my Nexus 7 32gb edition in the mail and I want to know what i should get for it.
Wireless charger?
Case recommendations?
Good screen protectors?
The best roms?
Don't ask about best Roms, they frown upon that wireless charger sure if you want convenience. There were a few cases where the plastic that lines the nexus engraving on the back came off due to the heat transfer. I have a glass screen protector, but I'm yet to put it on lol. Cases, I only have one which I don't like much. I'll probably be getting the official Google one as I don't mind not having the magnetic cover since I'll run a kernel with sweep to wake.

Opps I didnt know. What brand glass screen protector did you get? Right now im using a universal 7 inch fold case i got for 5 bucks Its works good so far and I was thinking the same thing with the google case but $50 for a case thats just a bit high. I would get the asus branded case but there are a lot of people that have said they got one that didnt fit the n7.
You could get a USB On-The-Go adapter for when you've filled up that 26GB of storage

This is the one I got (it seems they changed the packaging since I got it). I have a glass one on my S4 and I don't think I could go back to a normal one haha. I agree the Google case is pretty dang expensive, but since it will be a Christmas gift, I won't be paying for it

Looks like iOttie is taking reservations for their Qi car mount. Spoiler alert: It's $80.
http://www.iottie.com/Product/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=1058&ProductType=321
I was hoping for a $40-50 price point. So, yeah, I'm a little disappointed.
Yeah $80 is way too high especially when you can get more "Premium" Chinese Qi Car docks for about $45. I figured the price was going to be more than we requested when the "Rep" that had the iOttie post suddenly went silent. $50 was just the high end of Purchasable range. $80 is high even if there were NO other options on the market. Heck the OwlPad sold for LESS than that much when it came out...over a year ago. So yeah makes me feel the company is trying to fleece the N5 owners.
Hey guys,
We did not go quiet on the postings - we were just advised from XDA moderators that that kind of posting is not permitted within the forums.
We do appreciate the constructive feedback with regards to our product & pricing. We will pass that information onto our management team for more detailed review.
I would buy it for around $40-50 but definitely not at $80.
80? This is why I've refused to buy the tylt vu. I have zero problem shelling out cash for accessories but that's ridiculous.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
80? Probably cost 15 to make at those quantities. I'll pass, thanks.
the air dock is better than this, and it costs less at $69, but even that's still way too expensive for this kind of thing. $80 is just ridiculous.
We are actually giving away a Nexus 5 and some Easy Flex Wireless mounts on Facebook today - be sure to check it out.
Also, the price you guys see is MSRP - but the MAP price that it will be sold at on Amazon and other resellers is $69.95.

$70 with that 20% off offering that you all are sharing via Facebook if you sign up for the contest is pretty solid considering how much everyone likes the car mounts.

yeah the retail price isn't what it'll be on amazon. Funny I wrote in to them when I first got my nexus 5 asking if they were making one. Glad to see they did.
I'm curious on final price. Been using their mounts for awhile and find it pretty good.
I do have 2 of the indiegogo airdocks coming though. Which in the end is a better solution if it works.
Looks nice to me, I'd be all over it.

The contest says it ends the 47th of April? I tried to enter but apparently it's closed already.
Curious, I see that people are upset at spending $80 for a modern and functional mount that also wirelessly charges your phone. I think it looks awesome and I would totally buy it, but I'm curious, what other alternatives exist?

Other than the Air Dock which was a Kickstarter but now goes for $69 now and the OwlPad which has been out for OVER a year which sells for $57. There are others on Amazon and Aliexpress from $35-50 depending on quality. $80 for a plain old QI charger is just over priced. For $69 at least the Airdock has the Magnets for the N5 included in the design.
One thing to consider with a wireless charger dock for the car is how much flexibility in positioning it offers, cause most of the time, you'll probably need to put it where it can get some direct air conditioning. This Easy Flex Wireless, if it's like the Easy Flex 3, can be rotated 360° and put the phone hanging in front of the vents of my car.
Does anyone know if this will work with case on. I would get it but I wanna know if can have a case on my nexus and it will still work. If you know the answer please let me know. Thanks

It does, like any other Qi charger. IIRC Qi can do something like half an inch distance. In any case, it should be fine for any cases that are not battery cases or metal ones.
Not bad, but bouncy....
I pre-prdered this dock using the Facebook coupon, and it arrived over the weekend. I tried it out in the hopes that it would not exhibit the bounciness that the other wireless charging dock I ordered had.
I used my phone, both with and without it's TPU case (my phone is an LG G2) in this dock and on all but the smoothest of roads (I live in Michigan, so "smooth road" is almost an oxymoron) the bounce is very noticeable. There is just too much flex in the arm of the dock.
I have written to them via their facebook page in hopes that I receive a reply and hopefully a solution.
The pricing is now $69.95 on amazon

I have one and it doesn't charge with my case off. It will with case off. Maybe I should have it replaced
