I was looking for the same thing when I got my Xoom. It was pretty annoying to see all the many different cases with keyboards for the ipad and not a single one for the Xoom. I ended up getting the motorola case and separate keyboard from verizon since I get a discount there.
As soon as I can find a case with a keyboard built in, I'll probably sell the case and keyboard I have now. One problem I've found using the keyboard though, is that when I get to typing really fast android tends to lock on a single keypress and will repeat it for a WHILE before it stops and lets me delete all of the letters. I even tried removing the batteries from the keyboard and it still kept going. So it looks like something was stuck in android.

The sticking key issue is a problem with the Xooms Bluetooth stack. Motorola knows about it and will supposedly fix it in an update.

thanks for the reply
i have thought about getting them individually, however i go to school where they have those really tiny desks thats attached to the chair and i dont trust myself having my motorola xoom seperate from the keyboard where i know i will probably knock it off
it would work fine at home but i wanted to stop carrying my laptop cause all the research articles and word documents are on the xoom already.

I personally didn't want to get them separately because it's a pain carrying both. The keyboard is a little wider than the xoom, but I saw a case for the ipad that rocketfish makes that uses that extra space on the tablet side for speakers. most of the time I don't need the keyboard, but when I'm at my desk and doing stuff like email or browsing forums, it's nice to have. I'm planning on getting a dock for the xoom too so then I'll probably just end up leaving the keyboard at my desk with the dock.
Here's how I have mine setup.

The lip on the bottom of the case when it's standing up makes for a little extra elevation for the keyboard and the battery compartment on the keyboard fits just right over it. I have actually considered making a case myself with slots for both the xoom and the keyboard. It really shouldn't be that hard, but it would probably bulk it up a little too much for my liking though.

Until there is a fix you can try this: When it locks up, open the wireless/bluetooth part of the settings and try disabling the bluetooth. It will force close and that usually fixes it for me. If that doesn't work then go back to that menu and disable then re-enable the bluetooth.
I hope they release a fix soon. If not I think I am gonna exchange it for the eee transformer. I can't having it locking up the way it does when I'm taking notes in class.

The bluetooth keyboard issue is so painful. There was supposed to be a fix by the end of March.... Hopefully that means it's impending.

it seems like a fine set up on a big desk, i might eventually get desperate enough to actually get the keyboard by itself.. hopefully a keyboard case will come soon.
Thanks for the replies

[Q] Any hope for physical keyboard accessory?

Hi everyone,
Does anyone how to contact Samsung for requesting them to design an official accessory? Or even an after market company if its interested in making physical (bluetooth?) keyboard for Galaxy note.
Something like this:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
​
I don't think anyone buying Galaxy note is concerned about the size or thickness of such accessory and probably it can make gripping the phone easier. Also, it is possible to add more battery juice with such design. With all that in mind, I think there is a great market for such accessory for this phone or other phones in general.
What do you think about this? and Do you know any contact info for samsung (Not the customer service - I want to contact someone who takes my words seriously) or other companies to ask them for such accessory?
Brief info (You can skip it):
I really got tired from waiting for mobile with dual-core (now seems: quad cores are coming), good GPU, 1GB RAM & with sd-card extendability and decent screen with physical keyboard and good battery. After long time waiting, Galaxy Note came to meet my needs, but with only one major thing missing for me a physical keyboard. After seeing a physical case for iPhone, I said why there can't be any for Galaxy note? and here I am writing new thread about this.​

OMG this accessory is my DREAM.
Is theire any keybord like this compatible with the Galaxy S2 ???

eBay and Google might help you in this. Yesterday, I couldn't find one for Samsung Galaxy (Only for TAB like dock) or anything rather than iPhone.

First, thanks for this useful post.
I think I needed to be more specific about this, the keyboard should be in case. I mean when you need it, you slide it out and when finish get it in. Like Droids(milestones) and Xperia Pro/Play.
It is really annoying to carry bt keyboard with you all the time (as the official bt keyboard).
By the way, Logitech keyboard doesn't seems particle. Having it seems better than nothing and I'll need to think about it more. Also, Do you think it going to fit with Galaxy note?
Edit: it seems the guy with the keyboard (Logitech diNovo Mini) attached it to his dell streak with tape.

The Logitech keyboard looks amazing. I think i will buy it and test with my Note. But it's pretty expensive. So it will take some time.
I like physicall keyboards, and I think for such a big device like the Note you can create a great keyboard, better then HTC's.

I found on amazon some interesting bluetooth keyboards. And much cheaper. Honestly they cost min. 30 €.
I think i will order one in sone weeks for testing. If it will be good, i think i can make a matching case myself.

Anyone managed to hardhack the diNovo Mini and the Note together ?

Great keyboard but expensive ... I'm looking this with Azerty keyboard and more cheaper ...

[Q] Any 10 inch or more keyboards for this yet?

I have seen someone use the Acer Iconica keyboard, as it has a holder for it - however it is not very stable. I cannot understand why no-one has made a keyboard that is 10 inch or more for the nexus 7, as 7 inches is just too small. a 10 inch keyboard is only 1.5 inches either side!
Thank you,
Habylab

Probably because the makers of the keyboards make it as part of a case in which to carry the tablet around with, not a standalone that you leave somewhere. If someone made a 10" keyboard case for a 7" tablet and the person was ok to carry that keyboard case with tablet around, why not just buy a 10" tablet then?
I can imagine they wouldn't sell very well either. If they would have, you would bet someone would have made one by now.

I am using the logitech bluetooth tablet keyboard.
the case of the keyboard turns into a rack for the tablet
but you can't use it on your lap, you need a desk to use that keyboard.
and you are carrying two piece around instead one like a keyboard cover.

But no one thought something like the iPhone would sell well until it was considered, like this idea? It makes perfect sense
Less weight
Bigger, easier keyboard
Same great portability
More stable to hold tablet

I have just read this article: http://www.zdnet.com/using-nexus-7-with-keyboard-not-on-your-life-7000001891/

Has anyone got a suggestion then instead? A good case that I could use on my lap along with a wireless keyboard?

Bluetooth keyboard not part of a case

I'm looking for a portable bluetooth keyboard that is not part of a case. My needs are something that is portable (folding or even rolling) to put in a briefcase but that gets decent reviews for really being able to type at a good clip on it.

I'd second this suggestion. I actually use this as my desktop keyboard now also.

I will back the suggestion up also. While it may not be as portable as a folding or soft keyboard, you will be able to type much faster and more accurately, while it will still take up little space. I ended up using a Microsoft Wedge keyboard, only because it was slightly smaller. While it is a good keyboard, I feel the Logitech is better.

I also have this guy, and it works great. Really like that its illuminated and can easily pair with multiple devices. The keys feel pretty good for typing as well.

I bought the Logitech K810 to pair with my Note 2014. Anybody else noticed the lag? The delay is very noticeable...
Am I maybe doing something wrong?

I get no lag at all.

I don't have lag with my K810, but I have constant connection drops if I stop typing for one second. It's pretty much unusable. The keyboard has no issues with my iPad though.

I have the Logitech k920 and really like it. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0054L8N7M/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
the only problem is Samsung felt the need to put the usb port on the bottom, so it doesn't sit on the stand with the stock usb cable plugged in.

I just got the Logitech k920 also and I love it. But the biggest gripe I have is exactly the same as Colchiro, I hate that Samsung decided to put the charge port at the bottom of the unit cuz it doesn't coincide with the stand very well.
But still amazing product for only $40

I ordered a angle adapter for the bottom. It just came in yesterday and I'm out of town so haven't tried it. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001EJHH20/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00

Think I will be getting this one

I've used mine a lot without any disconnects... until this morning ... when I started getting a disconnect whenever I would stop typing. I was using the Officesuite Pro app.
FYI, I rebooted the tablet and problem has not recurred.

I have the Logitech k920 and it's great !

stylus pen options for s21?

I have read a fair amount about pens for the ultra etc. but cannot seem to filter down to find out if a pen (active or capacative) would work with my s21 (base model), not plus/ultra.
An old report from here states only ultra works with the new s pen, but i'm opening the conversation up to all pens/stylus's
How does the S-Pen support on the Galaxy S21 series work?
The Samsung Galaxy S21 series has just launched, but does it support the S-Pen? It's... complicated. We have all of the details here!
www.xda-developers.com
Has anyone experience of this? I am assuming the basic foam end capacative one would work, but would an active pen work? I tried my old HP active stylus, but to no avail, that said it was invented with the ark...
THoughts please and suggestions of pens (if they work) greatly appreciated please, ideally UK orientated shops.
Thank you

Since I left the Samsung Note 4, I've been trying to find a stylus to use to the other phones I bought. The passive are not worth it. I bought a few active, the best being one called Gosin active stylus. I cannot seem to find it anymore, but it looks a lot like this. Mine uses an AA battery (not sure for this one, looks like it does too), it's heavy and thick, but works flawlessly.
I also bought the Blitzwolf Active stylus. At first it worked terribly, but since I removed the plastic tip and started writing with the metal nib, everything was fixed. Don't care if the metal nib could damage the screen (which it doesn't) since I have a tempered glass.
The blitzwolf works very well, the Gosin almost perfectly.

Arh, so an active capacitive pen will work, but i guess it'll effectively be replicating a finger press. So no smart features like pressure, thickness etc.
Thank you for the feedback, i'll take a look at them.

Correct, no pressure and other fancy staff!..
Update: Today I received the last one I had ordered, this no name. It cost about €12 and it came in a surprisingly nice package for the price.

Works as good as the other, more expensive mentioned above. The magnetic cap protects the USB port, the on/off switch works firmly and in general is as good as it can get. No reason to try anything else.

Now that the S Pen Pro is out (as seen at https://www.samsung.com/uk/smartphones/galaxy-z-fold3-5g/accessories/ ) has anyone bought it? It seems pricy, and I've no idea how you'd best keep it in your pocket...

I don't think it would work on S21, only on the 21 ultra, and I am not sure about the S21+.

Im pretty sure that the s21 (standard and +) does not have the layer between the screen to work with the S Pen. Only the ultra has it.
