[Q] Keyboard case possible? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I know this is almost virtually impossible, but is it all possible to get a keyboard case mod for this phone? I think it would be sick...not sure how it would work based on the lack of keyboards fitting the exact dimensions...but yeah any ideas? Just would be nice for school.

I doubt you could do it, just with the size alone, but i would suggest just a blue tooth keyboard. Mine works great actually :thumbup:

Don't know either...but what about combining a cheap case, a slide out with metal clicks and using this:

Might experiment with it if someone wants to donate haha...might just buy the keyboard on ebay or something similar in size...will check back eventually.

Depending on the dimensions of that keyboard, it might not be a bad idea tho. Worth a shot I guess, so if you do it, post some pics! Wish I could make stuff like that haha. Anyway, good luck if you do it

Probably will once I get some more cash, haha. Anyone got any ideas on making some "blueprints" though?

That would look really nice if you could do it. Keep us posted !

The buttons aren't on the screen. Fake.
This is old news. It's been proven to be fake. Not bad looking though

Not on xda but on several tech sites like android central and such. It's photoshopped.

i totally agree, its photoshop.
who is the idiot who could render such a beautiful device (ics keys as capacitive at bottom) yet the app drawer icon looks like poo? i JUST learned cs4 2 weeks ago and i coulda done better with the icon...
Ok let's just say it is fake... But what if Samsung decides to make the ics buttons into capacitive buttons and not built in to the screen like the nexus? From my understanding they always **** up Android to their liking so I wouldn't put it past them. I'm sure (to them) anything is better to differentiate them from the rest.

Just received a different one in the post yesterday. Seems to work well and looks fantastic on the phone. I also brought a Pearl White one for my daughter but might keep that as well. Brought it from droidax.

Here are some new pics. Yes it has 4 on the back when you press the on/off switch they only stay on briefly- which is good as who really wants lights on all the time and of course when you are charging it they are on. Looks really nice with the Matte finish, really happy with it.

Someone said they were using rain ex, this sounds similar. I just checked it out , seems the local sprawl-mart has it. The website pic want that black bottle in your link, but the description was nearly identical. 20 bucks and its in stock. I'm gonna pick some up and try it out on my old galaxy s phone first. I'll report back after the Patriots whoop Arizona.
I read about using RainX as well so I have decided to give it a try since I already had a bottle in the garage. So far it has created a very smooth and slick surface. It has also kept the fingerprints off, but I have only started using it. I will let you all know how it works out.

Car wax? Can't say I've heard of that one! But have used RainX on old TF101. Worked all right but needed re-applying after a while. And one didn't get the "added protection" of a film.
Are all the 10.1 the same as in cases i can usena n8000 case on my n8013
Sent from my GT-N8013
I tried the RainX but was not to impressed with its durability. As much as I use my tablet I would have to reapply almost daily. Which sucks considering the time it takes to apply then remove the haze. :thumbdown:

Agree. It was an interesting experiment but that it didn't "last" prompted me to move to a protector.

Home button little lose?

Does anyone else's home button seem loose after using it for a while? Mine rattles slightly when touching it. I'm not sure if that's just the way it is or if it has come lose. I can't seem to find the way the home button is put together in the inside as there's not too many tear down pics on the net that even show it. Just debating if this will be an issue down the road and needs to be returned before my 14 days are up.
Thanks

mine is still good but thats probably because i take care of it a lot (coming from the iphone 4 that had a bad button) so it feels new

Yes, I'm pretty anal about babying my phones. I'm not sure like I said if it should have a little rattle like that or if mine has a slight defect. I'm not wanting to exchange it, but, for what I paid for this phone I just don't want problems later on and have to deal with getting refurbs from assuron! That's why I was asking here to see if it's pretty much the norm. Thanks for the reply.

I bought mine around noon the day they came out, my button is still completely firm. Not sure how much relative abuse it has taken though. Seems pretty weird to me that it could be rattling, as it feels like it is a pretty solid fit. But maybe we will all be complaining about this soon enough.

I'm thinking now I may go ahead and go back to tmobile with it. It has me concerned since I've only had mine a week. Looking thru other sites it seems mine may be defective as everyone else is talking how solid theirs feel. Thanks for your reply.

Bluetooth Keyboard Video Review

Hey guys, I have appreciated the video reviews posted here so I thought I would do one myself. This video review is for the New Trent Bluetooth Keyboard with touch pad. Here is a link to the video review
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tym3BoEhQwc&feature=youtube_gdata_player
And here is a link to the product on Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/New-Trent-Mul...36&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=new+trent+ishuffle
My full written review is there as well. In short, its the best wireless keyboard I have used. Definitely worth the asking price of $55.
This is my first YouTube video, so there is much room for improvement. I plan on continuing to review various android hardware and accessories should you wish to subscribe. Let me know if you have ideas!
Thanks for the review! I really want this keyboard. Says unavailable though

Yeah at time, i mostly use it for a multimedia remote when i have have the tablet hooked to the tv.
This would be too small for my needs. I am a student. Still really want that top keyboard. Still not in stock.... love the touch pad functionality. Crossing my fingers I can get my hands on it soon.
