Is the Logitech S-Type Keyboard cover for Tab S2 compatible (in terms of size) with the Tab S3? I am planning to upgrade to the S3 mainly for the S-Pen but will be useless without a keyboard. The OEM keyboard cover has not yet been launched in the UAE market.
http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/type-s-keyboard-case-galaxy-tab-s
according to the pictures, I think it would fit but it will cover some part of the upper speaker.
you said upgrade to s3 , I assume that you own the S2 and that keyboard right?
just bring your case to the store and try with the mockup.
this keyboard wont work. It fit's PERFECTLY, minus the camera placement, but it doesn't sync to the tablet. I tried for about 30 minutes to make it sync to multiple devices with a bestbuy employee before I purchased it. Just wouldn't go.
You're better off getting the stock samsung keyboard case. It was half-price at B&H photo a few weeks ago. Will probably go on sale again.
Best Buy and Amazon are selling the Samsung Keyboard Case for $65. OOS at Amazon, so BB might be a better option.
Well I'm not sure about the Logitech S-Type Keyboard Case, but I've tried multiple Tab S2 (T815Y) folio cases for my Tab S3 (T825) and they fit perfectly well, except for the change in position of the charging port and 3.5 mm jack at the bottom of the tablet, everything else aligns perfectly well with Tab S2 cases. The camera, power button and volume buttons of the Tab S3 align perfectly with the Tab S2 cases I've tried so far.
I have both tablets, the S2 (T810) and the S3 (T820), and my Type-S Logitech keyboard fit and works perfectly. It connects to Bluetooth as with my Tab S2. No sync/bluetooth issues; I am typing this with this KB now.
Just in case any one wonders, the Samsung S Action mouse (ET-MP900D) works fine.
Hope this helps.
yes it is. I have one myself with a Logitech keyboard cover for tab s2 and fits perfectly and works perfect. in my opinion is better compared to original Samsung keyboard cover

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?

FULL SIZE KEYBOARD DOCK, Model No: ECR-K15AWEGSTA
It looks like it is a 10.1 size keyboard but with 8.9 slot. The keyboard is wider than the tablet, unlike for 10.1 where the difference is negligible. But that's not really important, what is that the keyboard is super comfy and completely changes the way you interact with the tablet. Especially when you extensively use Documents To Go app or similar. Anytime I have an opportunity to use it I do it instead of using Thumb Keyboards app I have installed as well. This keyboard has fully functional tablet port passthrough extender. I checked its operation with USB and SD card adapter, it works flawlessly. You can also plug your charger while typing or chatting long hours with Google Talk without worry that your battery will die. Tablet recognizes keyboard automatically and switches its input mode to Samsung keyboard without you doing it manually. Tablet fit is tight so it wont wobble back and forward as you move it around. Anti-slip cushion pads underneath prevent keyboard from shifting when you type or push tab screen. Price is $79 plus free shipping on manufacturer website. See photos down below.
MULTI-MEDIA DOCK for Galaxy Tab™ 8.9, Model No: EDD-D1C9BEGSTA
MULTI-MEDIA DOCK for Galaxy Tab™ 8.9, Model No: EDD-D1C9BEGSTA
This dock fits perfectly to my 8.9 tab. Like the keyboard dock it has Samsung connector and 3.5mm jack passthrough. Same thing with charging the tab, you can do it by connecting your charger. When you connect it to your PC, you can transfer files to and from your tab. Both USB and SD-Card adapters - separate accessory - works as well. Very sleek and high quality looking design. If you can live with touch screen keyboard and you need a dock, this is the one for you. Price tag is $35 directly from manufacturer website.
Galaxy Tab 8.9 Leather Pouch, Model: EFC-1C9LBEBSTD
SGT8.9 is one of the thinnest tabs around so why not to enjoy it? That is why I purchased this pouch which perfectly protects my tab whenever not in my hands. The fit is perfect and material quality high, although I am not sure if this is genuine leather. But it is thick enough for years to come. Tab wont slip out of it uncontrolled, on the other hand it requires no effort to take it out of the pouch. I love it. Purchased directly from manufacturer website, worht every penny.

My local Best Buy had the 10.1 keyboard and it was smaller than the picture of it I had in my head. From pictures, I just imagined it being a tad bulky and not very attractive. But it felt nice in my hands, felt pretty solid and well made. It even has a little sex appeal... a little. The keys feel and work well, very responsive and have a pleasant touch to them. Unfortunately, they did not have one for the 8.9 Tab. I might just have to order one of those bad boys. Although, a bluetooth keyboard/stand combo would be pretty awesome too. Hmmm... Decisions, decisions...
I currently have the official Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Keyboard dock and I am a bit dissapointed it dosent fold. Is there one like the Asus transformer keyboard?

Closest thing would probably be the Logitech Keyboard Case. I grabbed one a couple weeks ago and I'm pretty happy with it. It has some good shortcut keys and it's spacious enough that I haven't had any trouble typing on it. It's basically a bluetooth keyboard with a built-in stand and raised edges that hold the Tab in place face-down when you're not using it.
This one is pretty sweet

Logitech/Zagg keyboard
I did some research into this and found a keyboard combining zagg and logitech...
Its not bad...a bit pricey.
Search the keyboard in google or youtube for reviews.
Im still searching (and waiting patiently) for someone to make a keyboard that turns the Tab 10.1 into a folding netbook like the transformer.
Someone please!

There isn't one, and probably never will be (for this tablet). the Transformer was built with the keyboard in mind (hence the name "transformer"). If you want a transformer, get a transformer...

Hi
Is there any dock keyboard or case keyboard with slope screen regulation (like in Asus Transformer)?
Next important thing is to can use camera with this dock/case.
That's what I'm looking for, doesn't have to necessarily be a case for me but want something it snaps into so it's sturdy in the lap and stays propped up
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
I have looked seriously hard to find this and I could never come up with anything. I wanted to buy a transformer, but my sole purpose in a ten inch tab was for handwritten notes, so the transformer failed the test in that regard. The best you are going to find, I think given my searches, are using a bluetooth keyboard with a folding stand case. That's all I could find.
Hopefully one of these days samsung releases their keyboard for the US version, I think the tablet snaps into it but doesn't fold up like the asus

Transformer it isn't a good choice.
Trust me I had it... Of course Asus make a lot of updates but there are a lot of bugs too.
Strange, because Samsung love to make money on accessories and we have only some good dock for ipad and exactly transformer.
Any news about this case?

So because I'm new here I cant post any new links, but if you go on amazon and type this "ANS1IN-BB0" into the search bar you should find the Zagg Bluetooth Folio Case for 10 inch tablets. I'm not sure if it covers any needed ports, but it would definitely cover the S-Pen. But with tablet design most keyboard docks cover the S-Pen anyway considering its on the bottom of the device. It basically gives any 10 inch tablet a clamshell "laptop" profile.

Asus Phonepad X Keyboard
I found this possible option for a bluetooth keyboard with slope control. Of course I think it would be too loose for the GT-N8000. But with some modification, maybe a little padding on the inside, I think the GT-N8000 would fit inside it just fine. The other problem would be that it covers the charging port, but if that doesn't bother you and if you're willing to do a bit of modifying then this could be a good solution. Once Again, I'm not allowed to post links, but i'm sure you can look it up. Its the Asus Padphone X Mobile Dock. Its a Bluetooth keyboard that the tablet fits inside of, but it doesn't have any of the ports that most Asus Transformer Keyboards have.
Hi everyone, this is my first post, so thanks for reading!
I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5", and along with it I got the Samsung Bluetooth Keyboard. It's great and sleek; they work really well together. However, I am still wary of scratching up the tablet since the keyboard doesn't come with a cover and only serves as a stand.
I was wondering whether there are any covers for the tablet available that would be compatible with the keyboard; AUA: the tablet will still fit in the keyboard while it has the cover/protector attached. If not, I was wondering if there are any great pouches big and snug enough to keep the tablet folded with the keyboard inside? A pouch might be nice actually since the keyboard itself was rather expensive as well, so keeping it in good condition is preferable.
I hope the answers here help others, too, because I couldn't really find any threads addressing this issue.
Here is the keyboard in question: samsung . com /us/ mobile/galaxy-tab-accessories/EJ-CT800UAEGUJ
Many thanks!
PS. It would be nice to have a cover/protector to complement this titanium bronze color. Not necessary though :fingers-crossed:
PPS. I know this sorta belongs in the Galaxy Tab S Accessories forum, but I was warned that posting questions there is against the rules.
There should be plenty of netbook cases fitting it.
Aw alright thanks

Hmm well if that's the only option then I guess that's alright with me. I was just hoping that there was a more eloquent solution.
I'll definitely look into it though. Thank you very much for your advice.
I hope Samsung does eventually produce a matching case or pouch for the tab + keyboard.
I have this and it protects the screen while closed (there are 4 plastic holders at the edges) or do you want the backside to be protected as well?

oh yeah it protects my screen well when it is closed. I just wanted something for the back for when I close it and carry it around. I don't want to scratch the tablet anywhere; as little as possible at least
I got the Logitech keyboard instead because it was $50 cheaper and protects both the screen and the back of the tablet. I'd suggest you return the Samsung keyboard and get the Logitech one

I have this one for a quick running out the door cover, no keyboard. One not so good feature, it's really hard to use it for a stand. Doesn't work well for that but otherwise it's super. I've got one for my Note 3 also.
