I was wondering if anyone knew of a good case with blue tooth keyboard.

go to vzw . Com
They are selling the official moto leather folio with built in BT keyboard for $29

I've seen that one, but I'm holding out for better.
Does anyone know if there's a keyboard / battery pack combo? Y'know - something that you can plug in to microusb port. Runs off keyboard battery first (rechargeable), then uses system batt?

Have you heard anything bad about it? All of the reviews I've seen are pretty favorable. I'm eyeing it hard but I just bought the other Moto keyboard a few weeks ago. I would prefer something integrated into a case.

I have looked several times and not been able to find it. I would like to see the link.

I've been looking for something similar to this for my Xoom FE. Do y'all think the slimmer form factor would work in this case? It's a pretty good deal.

I'm guessing it wouldn't work good. The specs on Motorola's site are below. If the length and width were the same, then I would say yes, but since they are not, I don't think it would fit good.
Xoom: (H x W x D)
249.1 x 167.8 x 12.9 mm
Xoom FE:
260 x 177 x 11.4 mm

The Xoom Keyboard Folio case is very snug...really just fits the original Xoom with no room to spare and anything smaller would fall out. It really is just for the original Xoom. It is great and an amazing bargain at $30.

Looks like I'll be going a different route. I'm thinking of just buying a slip cover and the Logitech keyboard with the little case/stand. Looks pretty neat and that seems to be the most effective way of getting what I want for my tablet that no one else seems to own.

I would love to have one, but they are not available (or much more expensive) in Germany

Just got the Verizon case in the mail today and that thing is damn near perfect. Haven't found a flaw yet. My USB adapters come out and go horizontal and the case provides plenty of space for it. Paired with the bluetooth mouse this is much more convenient then dragging around my big laptop

I also received the folio case today. Good quality for the price. Not sure about the keyboard though. Don't like the small shift key on the right side and the home key being just left of the enter key makes you exit to home screen every time you mistakenly hit it. I like the Motorola Bluetooth keyboard a bit better. Anyway, I'll give it a bit more time and maybe I can get use to the layout. The other thing, the case is pretty thick. I expected thickness with keyboard, but I think it could have been designed slightly thinner. The leather is layered and quite thick. The stand works well, but only 1 angle to choose from, which is a pretty steep angle.

I really think the thickness isn't too bad. Only thing I've noticed is the camera is kind of blocked unless you pull the stand down. Not a huge deal as I don't use it very often, but still is there. I do like the space between the bottom of the Xoom and the fold. Plenty of room for USB stuff

Folio case with KB
I have the Folio case with the Keyboard and love it. A lot of times I take my Xoom into meetings (where I used to take my laptop instead), and it does the job perfectly for a short while. I wouldn't want to write long letters on the small keyboard, but for meetings, etc...it's perfect.

anyone knows if there is something similar but with swedish keyboard?

I am wondering..is there anywhere I can buy a case which supports to put in a keyboard? Just like this for Ipad http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-20017554-1.html
I only want the case and then i'll put in a keyboard. Why am I asking for this? Because I want to buy an keyboard that supports swedish charachters, and obviously the american motorola xoom keyboard case do not have swedish charachters. I am thinking of buying Targus Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard.

I know I'm reviving a very old-dead thread here.
But anyone find a good case with keyboard, that has a working track pad?
I've looked online and I found two sellers with case/keyboard/trackpad BUT the track pad will not work on Xoom.
Thanks in advance if anyone ever reads this and/or respond.

I'm fairly positive the Motorola keyboard with track pad works 100%

That's just the regular BT keyboard with the extendable track pad.
I'm looking for the folio combo that's a case/keyboard/track pad all in one. Kind of like the Asus transformer has the dock. Except we can't dock so its just a folio case.
If nothing else, I will consider that one and fit it into a case.
Thanks for the suggestion.

case similar to transformer dock?

Is there any case for the xoom that is similar to the transformer keyboard/trackpad combo. i've seen some with the keyboard but having one with a track pad would really come in handy for me.

The case you're looking for does not exist. I assume you have an Android phone - you can download Blueputdroid and (assuming your phone is rooted - if it isn't...well...it should be) use your phone as a trackpad. It's a pretty great program, it can also be used as a game controller.

I take it back - here's one on eBay - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Motorola-Xoom-Bluetooth-Leather-Case-Keyboard-Touchpad-Mouse-/180799923988?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item2a1883e714

Very interesting. If you get one let us know how it is.

The transformer one wouldn't fit? I'm pretty sure it won't but... never know

No, it won't. It's made specifically for the TF, it uses the proprietary connector, has clips designed for the case, etc.

OK sorry to waste your time

Exactly what I was looking for thank you very much. I think I'm gonna pick one of these up since they don't seem too expensive.
Edit: that seems to be the only one of its kind on eBay, darn.

Wireless charging stands

We need more options for wireless charging stands. The Tylt Vu is nice but for $70+ it's stuck at one angle and the lip on the bottom is much bigger then it needs to be. http://www.tylt.com/vu/
There's also a Nokia model with a more "watchable" angle but it costs over $100.

Has anyone used these models or know of any others?

I made my own temp one until I find something better using a couple of empty allergy bottles and some rubber lining. Thinking of building my own permanent solution but haven't figured out exactly what pieces I plan on using.

This works with the Nexus 5, no fiddly placement trying to line it up either

The Nokia is available from but for around $50, love it with my nexus 7. Still using the orb for my 5

DIY Stand
I got the nokia DT900, it is a great charger, I just didn't like that the phone was laying down, hence the stand. If i make another there are a few changes to be that need to happen. But it works well neverless.

Wow those are great. I'm liking the DIY atmosphere going in this thread and it gives me a few ideas for sure. Surely there should be more products like this out there or coming soon.
If you're using the Nexus 4 Orb for your Nexus 5, how watchable is it and how usable is it to tap things on the screen while charging?

That looks awesome, I'm gonna make something like that, Thanks!!

Official Google cover, who got it? (the black one)

Could you give me some shots ? I especially interested in the black one..still can't decece between the Asus Premium Cover, and this one.
Thank's.

I got the Asus Premium Cover free with my tablet and I am not very impressed with it. Its got no sleep/wake functionality and there is nothing stopping the case from coming open by its self. I am still looking for an alternative as I like how thin it is with this case fitted.
I haven't seen/used the official google one, so I can't comment on that one.
Google need to seriously sort out the availability of decent official accessories, IMO the Google and Asus cases for this device are not good enough, the QI charger for the nexus 4 was never sold through the play store in my country.

My doubts about the ASUS one, is, that it not covers the sides, as much, as the Google one, and it looks weird, and not secure at all, how good does it holds and fits the device anyway? I mean, there many cases like that, for other devices, but even the "Tri-cover" by ASUS for they tablets range, looks and designed the same way, as one for Nexus 7, so I think, they know what they do. Another concern, I can't find an answer, about compatibility of the Nexus Wireless Charger, and the official Google Cover for nexus 7, on other hand, the ASUS cover is 95% efficient in charging by wireless chargers.

I just got the gray/red and its nice. Although it does not have the auto sleep/wake feature there is a free app that takes care of that concern.
I used to have a poetic which was much cheaper but i found the edges on the flip cover wearing from daily use.

[Q] Band/Strap Size?

Slightly random question, but can anybody with the Zenwatch advise on how large the strap is? As in, what size wrist it'll accommodate?
My wrists are stupidly large (don't ask, I have no idea), so I'm wondering whether I'll need to swap the band out. They''re about 220mm (about 8.6 in). That's assuming it ever gets to my country.

The included strap will not fit anything above roughly 7.5 inches. However, the strap is extremely easy to change out, and there should be plenty of 3rd party straps that will fit your needs.

As a note, the watch is pretty long so after market straps will have an exaggerated length. I'd say I have a medium wrist but I'm using the shortest setting on the aftermarket strap I bought.

Thanks for that guys - looks like an after-market strap. I don't suppose the Asus clasp can be redeployed onto a different strap, do you think? I've seen similar accessories out there, but I don't know much about that sort of thing.

I highly doubt it. The bottom part could probably work if you found just the right band but the top part (the clasp past that says "asus") is pinned and I can't imagine it would be very easily modified. Not even sure the pin can be removed. The way Asus made the band removable from the watch is pretty slick though and makes me think they plan on coming out with different interchangeable bands. Who knows when though....

Thank you. After having a look, a lot of the places that sell straps also sell "deployment clasps" (a new term for me). An after-market option that replaces the buckle of a strap with a unit that then slots into one of the holes. They seem to be fairly universal and, whilst possibly not being as slick as the supplied clasp they perform the same task. It would seem that you could replicate the advantages of the stock strap.
Something like these (I think) http://www.watchworx.co.uk/pages/access/deploy.html (random Google result - I have no affiliation)

Yes, you CAN reuse the ASUS deployment clasp.

Thank you - yes - I'd seen that. Would appear you need a band that tapers from 22mm to 18mm (or can do some modifications.
