Keep us to date on any updates. Most of us want this.
Does the aluminum body have any effect on WiFi connection? I know the aluminum phone cases kill radio reception, but not sure about WiFi.

For those that have used this keyboard with the N7 (2012), how is the quality?
My wife has an ipad mini with the logitech keyboard ( http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/ultrathin-keyboard-mini), and the quality of the keyboard is fantastic, as is the bottom of the keyboard which acts as a clam shell case with the ipad.

That's pretty nice - haven't gotten one before but am thinking about it. Thank you for the share.
cool i'm gonna buy one for school definitely not bringing my new 3kg laptop
I like the idea of a portable keyboard but I don't think I could get used to typing on one the same size as the Nexus. If SwiftKey wasn't so good at predicting and making typing faster I would probably try one out though.
Have one of these for my 1st gen N7 and love it, great protection and nice for emergency typing/office work. Will definitely be getting another one when I get my N7 fhd!

I would MUCH prefer something like this, I wish a manufacturer would get on this, as it would be much easier for my work purposes to have a folio style keyboard/case. It's looking grim though, as the 1st gen. Nexus 7 still doesn't have something like this. Apple gets all of the nice accessories
This looks cool, but in the product description, it says that there's no tab key. In the photos, there's a tab key but no escape key. These keys are both important for console work. Which is actually missing?

Thank you for contacting us. At this time, we have not received any specific details of the keyboard, however, we did request for the manufacturer to develop a Tab button. If you have any other questions or concerns, please let us know. Thank you.

I really hope a major manufacturer getson making a quality bluetooth keyboard similar to the logitech. Hopefully the 2013 N7 sales justify the manufacturer investment.

I have a keyboard that looks exactly like that one for my Nexus 7 2012, and it has the TAB key but no ESC key. I use an App from the Play Store called "External Keyboard Helper" that suppresses the internal pop-up keyboard when the BlueTooth keyboard is connected and also allows remapping the keyboard, so that the ESC key can fairly easily be added.
Very helpful Dave. Thanks.

Just arrived today. Bluetooth connection works with no issues.
The top is all plastic with aluminum "color" trim with the bottom being a rubber type material.
Similar in style (clam case?) to the Logitech/Belkin keyboards for the ipad mini but certainly NOT the same quality of material...although it is less than 1/2 the price.
I like the rubber backing, it is lightweight and feels good when closed.
The keyboard layout is different than minisuit's alternative keyboard case (book style) and appears not as wide,
the Nexus 7 can't stand in portrait mode,
edging around the keyboard interferes with my typing,
awkward to open due to the clasp style,
no dedicated "search" or "app" button,
there is a tab key and a home key.
Personally, I found it very difficult to type accurately and I'm experienced in using similar type keyboards for the ipad mini (same width as the N7).
http://www.minisuit.com/p-2016-bluetooth-keyboard-stand-case-for-google-nexus-7-fhd-2013-rubberized-non-slip-grip.aspx
Think I'll be looking for other bluetooth keyboard solutions...maybe minisuit's other keyboard case which I think is a bit wider in key layout.
Would be nice if Google(or whoever made the final call on that) would have allowed Asus to make a keyboard dock for the N7 FHD just like their Transformer line of tablets. The N7 FHD would had to have used the proprietary Asus charge/sync port instead of the standard micro usb port, and also have had the slots for locking the keyboard dock in to place. Those things would probably have raised the price though, so I'm assuming that's why they didn't go that route. Regardless, it would have been cool to have that option for those who want it. Personally I wouldn't use it, so it's no big deal to me. I had the Asus Prime and Asus keyboard dock made for it, but never used it. I didn't even buy the keyboard dock for my Infinity when it came out. That said, I'm happy with my N7 FHD just the way it is.
I'm not sure if Windows has a patent on their magnetic latching keyboard docks (I haven't looked in to that info at all), but it would be awesome if future Android tablets would have that functionality! I know the Asus Infinity successor uses the same latching style for it's keyboard dock as its predecessors, unfortunately, but it would be awesome if all Asus tablets after the New Infinity would use the magnetic latching! That is about the only thing about the newer Windows tablets that I like. Like isn't really correct for that. I love that feature/function, and I'm totally jealous that my Asus Infinity can't do that! Lol

Hello all.
I love the ability to play games with a controller on my phone but really hate that I have to hold my phone or put it on a table. So I found a metal plate, measured the controller and made this mount for my phone and controller.
It is very solid and works well. With some paint and an hour of work it will look a little more pro
Happy "modding" your own controller kit

That is a good idea.
Great job.
I like to see when done and painted.
What phone do you have?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
I have a SGSII. The good thing is that you only have to make the mount once and whenever you buy a new phone you just change the cover.
I watched you're video. I was hoping to see a tutorial of you actually making it.
I have a question, How did you attached the metal with the plastic???

The thread and thus the pictures above is about a year old and I have since replaced my SGS2 with a SGS3.
The design makes it easy to replace the cover on the mount to fit a Note (or any other device).
Pictures with the SGS3 can be seen here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29395051&postcount=197
My mount is my very own private fun-project and thus not for sale and I do not plan to mass produce it, but a new commercial mount have come up, the Gameklip:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1760595
It cost 15 $ + shipping. The design is rather similar to the one I made (tho a lot more beatyful ). Only disadvantage is that this mount is not universal, and thus do not fit all phones.
I saw these stylus pens on amazon http://www.amazon.com/Capacitive-Cellphone-Motorola-BlackBerry-AMM0101US/dp/B0053NBLFW/ref=pd_cp_cps_1....looks like it works with different smartphones. It could become handy for doodling etc..
Anyone ever tried one before? Or could recommend a decent one? TIA
I bought a 6pack of capacitive stylus, they work on my et4g, evo, and kindle fire, and they work better than my finger. I use em for taking notes on my phones and drawing on the fire, or phone if I'm really bored while waiting for an appointment at work.

I only got the 6 pack cuz we got 5 androids in the house and a Samsung series 7 windows tablet so each device got it's own stylus and I have 2 with my kindle fire cuz one of the Androids is a note so its got its own super pimp s pen that thing is cool as hell, u cab draw/write with one side and erase with the other and it learns multiple styles so if more than one person uses it it will adjust to each persons style based off of small things like angle its held against the screen and pressure used to contact the screen, but that's wacom for you they have some seriously sophisticated touch pen technology, If the note/journal or something similar comes to sprint it may just be my first Lte device

Nope, s-pen is an active digitizer. There isn't the same tech/hardware in the g3 as there is in the note

Go on eBay and search Galaxy S3 stylist, and you can get one that works for the S3. The price range is $. 99 to $29.99. They have some almost identical to the Notes S pen, for one just like that you are looking at around $29.99

There is nothing for the S3 that will be comparable to the S-pen on the note. The C-pen is decent, but it's not going to be as precise, or responsive as the S-pen.

Is the c pen more accurate than one of those ball tipped sylus pens? I have one of those and it writes very broad lines
Click to expand...

The c pen is definitely more accurate than the ball stylus pens due to the slim tip so you can actually see where you are writing. The only problem with the c pen is that it will occasionally not register as touching the screen.
I bought one because I take a lot of notes using S memo and I had an extra $20 bucks laying around lol. So if you can spare the cash I would reccomend it over the ball stylus pens but just know that it will only work for the s 3
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Either that or i'd just get an Adonit Jot stylus....
I just use one of the ones that have a rubber ball at the end.
C-pen didn't work out for me, because it's design a little bit fat. I guess, that's the only way to have stylus is to buy Galaxy Note Series . And also they have wacom grid, which can sense pressure.
good info

C pen is so expensive. How little are you really gonna be clicking? S3 doesn't have the special touch screen built in like the note so the pen gets bigger or smaller from how hard you press anyway. Any cheap stylus will work great. I got a laser, flashlight, chrome pen, and stylus in one for like 6 bucks at Monoprice. Works better than I dreamed.

lol oh man almost a year later, but here it is http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=112&cp_id=11201&cs_id=1120105&p_id=9719&seq=1&format=2
At least now I can give a mini review. It works great as a pen and I use it whenever I have to sign something. Stylus tip still works fine and always has no problem with responsiveness. Only thing that sucks is the flashlight and laser died fast. It's all chrome and black so it still looks nice, but I have no idea how to put a new battery in. I even called and asked them, but how they said to do it was still impossible.
Hi I'm thinking of buying a tablet to do some art and was thinking of getting a note 10.1 and saw this tablet as a cheaper option, I wanted to know what the responsiveness is like if I wanted to use a stylus with it (dagi stylus looks good)
Do you recommend me holding out for the 10.1 note or buy this as a cheaper option.
I'm very tempted to buy this tablet but don't want to make a mistake.
Think I should have put this in the gen9 general, can someone move it there please?
Are you talking about the 101it ?
Honestly if you can buy a more recent tab I would suggest you to do it (I heard that the Samsung ones are not that bad)
To be honest I'm not that clued up about tablets, I did see there was a g9 10 inch archos which is cheap if I buy from amazon but after reviews I've read about the touchscreen failing and usb port braking and people having to send theirs back the archos doesn't seem too reliable.
I just wanted option of drawing directly onto a tablet instead of a art tablet connected to my usb on my laptop.
You think I should get one? Would using a stylus cause loads of lag while drawing?

It's way behind your galaxy S3 (at least concerning the gen8)

Thanks, think I'm better off saving then. Nothing wrong with seeking out a bargain though but I guess it just wasn't meant to be.

I own a g9 tablet with a capacitive stylus. The touch screen is very responsive but have a very bad precision...
A Samsung note will be better for art, due to s pen.
But the only true way to do some art is a graphic tablet with a PC or MAC.

I just bought the MIcrosoft Wedge. It is really cool. I had the Logitech Tablet keyboard, which was fine. However, it is missing the function keys, which I need. The tablet holder for the Wedge is much better. It holds the tablet at pretty much unlimited viewing angles compared to the fixed angle that the Logitech has.
