I've been looking at the Samsung Keyboard dock, Logitech Bluetooth keyboard at BestBuy, and the Motorola Xoom keyboard.
I'm still not sure which is a better buy, and which one will work best for me.
I was using the Android on screen keyboard, but it no longer vibrates after installing the TouchWiz update.

did you check that haptic feedback is enabled? You have to check the configuration of whatever keyboard you're using (it's under settings--language and input--configure input methods--[select the keyboard you're using, i suspect it's the default samsung keyboard].

It's selected. I've tried numerous times of turning it on and off. Seems to be some type of bug within TouchWiz that keeps it from working. It works in a few other keyboards I have installed, but the Android keyboard will no longer vibrate.

Loitech keyboard! I love it battery life seems great, had it for 3 weeks. Its less than the Samsung one and uses bt so it will work with other devices. Comes with a nice protective case / stand.
The Samsung Bluetooth Keyboard Case is now available on their site for the 10.1. You can ask to be notified when available. They said it will be available in the next couple of weeks. If you google, you will see some CNET reviews that give you better pictures. It is supposedly as thin as the notebook case. I just hope it does not have the same flaws as the notebook case. I am returning mine tomorrow. The case seems to allow for easy depression of the power button. I am constantly turning the tablet on/off. I will pick it up, lift the flap, and find the device is booting back up. Not very helpful at all!
The samsung bluetooth keyboard/case looks the best so far. Of course its not out yet. Personally I want a keyboard that has capabilities of charging my tab, kinda like the asus keyboard. Anyway way to extend my battery life!!
I may have missed out on all the Touchpad craziness, but I did pick up a closeout Touchpad bluetooth keyboard from Office Depot for $25+tax using a Staples coupon from here. They had it priced at $69.99 in-store, but their website has it at $29.99 on clearance so just ask for a price adjustment.
It's a really nice feeling chiclet keyboard, about the size of the Apple Bluetooth, and uses AA vs. AAA so I expect good battery life. Some of the function keys don't seem to work (brightness, power, not sure about media) but the top left works as ESC and the Control keys do what they're supposed to, and it works great with Connectbot so I'm happy.

Based on the picture I saw, it seems to be better suited for table top use and not lap use.

I looked at the logitech and samsung keyboards.
I chose the logitech.
I didn't want to have to remove my tab from its case to use a keyboard. Thats one of the reasons i ditched the asus.
I like the keyboard shortcuts on the logitech, and i like that i can use it with my home theater pc.
The samsung seems too expensive for a non wireless keyboard imo.
Besides, its just a rehash of the old tab keyboard.
are you guys talking about the zagg keyboard or the Logitech one with the little plastic stand. I'm waiting on the zagg one up for preorder on Logitech. Com

I keep my tab in the case as well. I agree, I don't think I want to keep taking my tab in and out of the case to use the keyboard.
I've been keeping my eye on the LogiTech keyboard. So far I'm starting to use Thumb Keyboard more.

The zagg case just arrived today, got two shipped to NZ (one for my gf) and i have to say im very impressed with it.
They claim several weeks battery life of normal use(not sure how that compares to alternatives). though it charges through micro usb along with most new phones.
its very light, but also feels solid at the same time, the keys feel similar to the asus transformer dock but they are definitely more responsive.
although they state on their website that it has poor compatibility with the 10.1 in portrait mode i think it works quite well, stands fine and doesn't feel like falling over at all.
it has raised rubber feet on top of the metal so you can lie your tablet down ontop of dock without worrying about damaging it.
it has all the shortcuts you need, including full music control, android function key. escape takes you to home screen while the back key is placed where right alt is on a normal keyboard.
all in all, very nice dock of solid build that weighs less then the tablet for $69.99
Edit: its also bluetooth, so no need to take tab out of its case.
Anyone know how to fix the problem of the onscreen keyboard popping up with any of them? It gets annoying.
which logitech keyboard are u talking about guys?

Do you have a link? I couldn't find it on their website. The iPad version kept popping up.
Also, can it be used on your lap, or does it only work on a table top surface?

do any of these keyboards designed for the 10.1 have a built in touchpad on them? if not will any bluetooth keyboard with touchpad work?
Hi guys,can i use this rom on a stock gingerbread rom tnx! dnt wana brick my tab.
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"...

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.

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

Hi
Do you guys know is there any case that has qwerty kb for sgs2? I'm thinking of buying Droid 3 (or droid 4) but I still love my SGS2
I'm done with touchscreen keyboard as I always mistakenly type text, reports to my clients. I used to have HTC Touch Pro 2 and i love the qwerty feature. Now I'm going back to it
Cheers

I've been wondering bout this too! I've even emailed to an established brand, I can't remember which brand, they even replied me they won't be making one for SGS2. This is so strange that no company ever make such accessory for such highly demanded phone!
Thanks for your reply and info. I guess I have to sell off my beloved sgs2 :/
You could pair your phone with a bluetooth keyboard? It's a bit of a hassle I guess, it's one way to have a Qwerty keyboard & keep your SGSII.

yeah, any bluetooth keyboard works.
you could mod an Logitech DiNovo Mini to something like an case. that way you also have an touchpad
(dinovo mini works on my phone i9100, so it should work on yours to)
Omg, Touch Pro 2 was one ****ty phone! Had it, and broke it to pieces! But indeed it had a nice hardwarekeyboard..
I also wonder why the S II doesn't get a keyboard case. Or a gamepad case! Imagine having an usb connected hw gamead case that is Xperia Play controller compatible! How unbelievably cool wouldn't that be? It's not like a BT connected gamepad that isn't physicly attached to the phne can ever be of any use on the go. :/

Works fine, i have one. But i love type on touch.
So I got a 10.1v model, not the standard 10.1 so pretty much any keyboard that would need the tab to slide into it is a no-go for me as the 10.1v is a few milliliters thicker.
So, unless you point me to anything else, this is the only keyboard I've encountered that I could use that is somewhat "tied" to the tablet :

Did one of you guys purchased one of these ? Are they any good ?
I tried to find something but nothing...I could go with a "floating" bluetooth keyboard is the quality is better.

Go out and buy it, it's awesome!
Bluetooth connection is really easy, it has a fast wake up (and you can wake your device up by pressing any key [this even unlocks a non-protection screenlock] whoo!) and a humongous long battery duration.
Additionally, the build quality is very fine!

Thinking that this might be stupid / crazy..
Well, I dont know whether this is the best thread to post this.. Please let me know if there's any other thread that to which this post has to be moved..
So my crazy / stupid question is ---
Has anyone tried using the asus keyboard dock with the samsung galaxy tab ?
I think this may be something stupid becoz i am already thinking that the charging port for both the tabs are totally different and this may not work at all..
Still I am just curious to know whether this has been tried by anybody...

To answer the OP's question... I just got one from eBay for $26 US. It works very well. For that much money, it's hard to beat. Your CDMA GT should fit in it just fine. Both the keybaord and the case are good quality, and can't be beat for that much money.
I do see one potential problem, however. When the case is latched closed the rubber (soft plastic) bracket that supports the base of the tablet comes into contact the screen and does exert a slight amount of pressure on the screen. Over time I am guessing that may damage the screen, but I'm just guessing - not sure about that at all.
Actually, I like the standard Samsung book case the best for the Galaxy Tab, and I don't always need the keyboard. So I'm going to take the little rubber keyboard out of this case and carry that separately. For $26, even that is a great buy.
This case/keyboard is sold under a bunch of brand names. Here is a bunch of reviews on Amazon, if you like to read them.
Hey Dan,
I've been using the Mobile Keyboard 6000 from Microsoft for a few weeks now.
The price is a bit overkill but sure worth the quality you get. And the number pad being detached from the letters is a nice feature if your on the go all the time, leaving the number pad behind is sometimes a plus. It is slightly bigger then the tablet itself but i don't mind since also use it for at home.
Ive been rocking the typing book cover for 2 days now, and so far i like it aside from a few things. But its not putting me off of it with its sleek tight fit.
The main issue is that there is no place to hold a stylus. (PS definitely worth the 20 bones to pick one up) and second, when it is being held in its typing arrangement, you cannot have anything plugged in besides the headphones. It does have a small slit so that the headphone jack doesn't have to be removed and put back in every time but they didn't do the same for the charger/accessory port.
Cheers!

I just picked the same one up at Target for $30 on clearance yesterday. Not a fan and I wouldn't recommend it. The cookie-sheet case feels flimsy and it doesn't protect the back of the tablet at all. The metal edges are kind of sharp (not knife sharp) but I have to be careful not to scratch the sides of my tab when putting it face down in this case. I also don't feel that it's very secured when closed (tablet face down). The keyboard works alright, it's very responsive, and it pairs easily and maintains it's connection, but some of the dedicated buttons don't work. I also would rather re-map some of the android keys such as the email button to open gmail. Maybe I can, but haven't looked into it. I guess it's ok if you're looking for a cheap bluetooth keyboard, but I don't trust it to protect my tablet. Idk how logitech justified this as a $100 case.
**edit** Been using this case with the blueputdroid app on my phone as a mouse and am loving it!
Anyone tried using any external Bluetooth keyboard for our Tab S2 9.7 ? Any recommendations before i go out and randomly buy stuff ?
...
I've got the Logitech KeysToGo keyboard paired up with mine.. (typing on it now!) Works a treat.. And so slim and lightweight too. Add to that a bluetooth mouse and the laptop is now redundant!
Have a look at the official Samsung BT keyboard and case, the keyboard is also removable if you don't want to use the case, best matching set for the S2 9.7, if they had one for the S2 8.0, I would of got it.
I got the Microsoft Universal Mobile Keyboard and really like it. http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Universal-Keyboard-Android-devices/dp/B00GWGLUZ0

Thanks guys... i want to leave the keyboard on my desk... so the original Samsung keyboard case is too expensive if someone grabs it on my table.
Will look into the microsoft and logitech keyboards... does the screen keyboard show up when paired with the logitech or microsoft keyboards when you start typing?
...
The on screen keyboard is disabled when connected via bluetooth.. As soon as the keyboard is switched off it reappears. You can also toggle this in the notification bar. Hope that helps!
Thank you... all your responses helped... will be buying one soon.

Second vote for this!! Fantastic bloody keyboard.... Works flawlessly..never fails to pair... Battery life awesome... Expensive ($80 in AU ) but worth the money. I have it paired with the samsung original book cover... Great combo....All of my work colleagues with ipads with silly key board cases look on with envy... So light and easy to carry... And you don't have it in the way when you are just using the tab for browsing etc... Highly recommend it

I've just ordered a LG Rolly keyboard. My S2 is a laptop replacement so want something quick to setup and really comfortable to type on. Will report back when I've tried it.
One of the main selling points for me was being able to switch easily between phone and tablet. If this I've doesn't work I'll buy the Microsoft one. I've got a Surface Pro 3 so I know what that one feels like to type on. It's ok but am hoping the LG model has a better feel.
Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk
Update: bought the LG Rolly. Didn't like the haptics , my fingers kept mashing the keys and getting into the wrong places. The wife I don't mind it though so I think she might end up adopting it. I ended up with a Logitech keys to go for Android keyboard . The stand works really well and my fingers seem to feel at home and can touch type easily. The Key Travel is less then what I'm used to but it would be overly critical to call it mushy and I'm quite happy with a compromise considering how light weight the keyboard is . I really wish the Logitech supports more than one BT profile but I've realised for Long portions of text I can always use Evernote that synchronises between my tablet and my phone to share information.
J
The Logitech Keys to Go looks really good. Simple, no folding hinges to break. Lightweight, spill proof. So thin that it'll be easy to pack. Micro USB chargeable. With the discounts on Amazon it looks good value for money too. The downside is that that it only accepts single profile, I want to use the keyboard for two devices so that's not going to work for me.

I tried the official Samsung keyboard case in store. It looks really smart and matches the tablet really well. I like that you can remove the keyboard as well for better ergonomics. What I didn't like though was that the keys seemed quite small for the size of the keyboard. I wouldn't want to go any smaller than my iGo Stowaway keyboard which I love typing on but keeps breaking (I'm on my third one and they don't make them anymore).

[/COLOR]Before,i bought keyboards from other brands for my tablets,like logitech for my Note 10.1. That works, but the fine things, like recent app key, or menu button, often are not there. Ok,i help myself with external keyboard helper, but it's a compromise all times. This time i think, ok,the price is close to the same. So i bought the original. And, what should i say, I'm more than happy with it. .......
The difference are the small things,but a lot of them :
It fits exactly, it's very light,think,the half of weight as a logitech, and,it covers not the whole device. The Tab S2 is very slim and light ,but if i cover it with a book cover of logitech, it have the same weight as an five year old tab......
Also,you have two bluetooth connectors inside,so you can use it with two devices. It have the specified keys for recent apps,multitasking,volume,and much more. And it contains a touch pad, so you dont need a seperate mouse. Also, the tab isn't covered at all,so you feel the tab also,it's inside the cover.....the mounts, with two clips on the back of the tab, are very stable. But i have really problems, to mount it at the first time. It's not really shown in the quick start guide. But I'm afraid to press on the display, to click the pin into the tab,cause it needs a lot of pressure at the first time and i don't want to crash the display. .....but it works,and if it connected one time,it gets much easier the next time.....it's a good connecting system. But new. Also, the on off mechanism works with the original cover. If you close it,tab goes standby,otherwise, open the cover,tab wakes up. Very fine is, the keyboard ca be seperated from the cover. It fits with magnetic points in the cover,and you can use it complete seperate. If you use the Docking Station (with lan,hdmi and usb ports,great assecory too),you don't need to put it in the dock, like on older dockings by Samsung, no,there is a cable to connect docking station and device. Perfekt,dont need to put tab out of the cover for connecting the station. All in all, the book cover is really great,and if you wear it without the keyboard, it's very light weight, so you don't lost the slim and light advantage of the device........but, there is no possibility to scroll with the mouse pad, or zoom in and out by pinch. Think,there is no multi finger support. Means,I don't figure out it now....maybe anyone can tell me too......

Does anyone know if the Sony Z4 Tablet keyboard would fit with the Tab s2? I know it might look a bit funny when closed up but would it fit the hinge ok? I'd prefer a hinge that mimcs a laptop rather than a Surface (as the Samsung book keyboard cover does)
I have the official bluetooth keyboard and I have a question about the shortcuts: Mainly, what does the F3 shortcut do?
I agree the Keys-to-go keyboard is a great companion with our S2. Ultra portable and keeps with the same design when matched with the book cover.
My only gripe with it, that I have not found a solution for, is that when hitting the hot key for Mail it prompts for a default mail app (gmail or mail) and even if you select the app and say 'Always' it does not remember your default app and will always prompt for the selection when you hit the key. Likewise for the Music key.
Can anyone comment?
Yup I have that issue too... Have not found a fix.

hi cktlcmd, which one did you end up buying? and how are you liking whichever keyboard you ended up with?
I bought this one:

My though was that having an integrated keyboard with the book cover, wouldn't be handsome. This tablet is very thin, having a big book cover would downgrade that.

I just purchased one as well. The white model.
I've never been a fan of chiclet style keyboards -- since day one when Apple started the craze for all things thin-as-hell -- but I don't really have a choice if I want a portable bluetooth keyboard for a tablet. They're all chiclet style. The Logetech's Keys-to-go keyboard looks even worse in terms of key depress travel length. That definitely wouldn't work for me.
So after a decent amount of research, I think this Microsoft Universal Keyboard will be the best for my needs. I'm giving this one an honest try.
Will post some thoughts after I've used it for a week or two.
I bought the logitech keyboard... works great... but lately i find the on screen keyboard is sufficient enough to use with WPS office word.

Yes, I find I don't need to use the physical keyboard as often, thanks to SwiftKey. I do like having the Microsoft keyboard available when it's appropriate.
