Samsung Bluetooth Keyboard Case for Galaxy Tab 10.1 ??

thanks from spirotech

I have been searching for this thing all day. I found one at shop brando .com but unfortunately I cannot post links yet. It was selling for $59.00 but It doesn't state if it's for the 10.1 or 7. It looks like a seven though. I guess I'll keep googling.

Keeping my eye out for this too. But the thumb keyboard works great for on the go. Have keyboard dock for home. But this anywhere solution would have its advantages. The only downer is wifi + Bluetooth = battery drain. Where the keyboard dock can charge your tab while in use.
It will be interesting to see how it impacts battery on both the keyboard and tablet .

FYI, it's on Expansys' USA site now. Looks like it's available August 4:

Ouch! $133? I am hoping that is a gouge price, but fear it's a discounted street price. Lol. The Asus Transformer dock had a battery, 2 USB ports, and SD card slot... and a track pad. But I guess its profile was much thicker.
The Logitech BT Keyboard with case is $60 at Best Buy. This is over twice that and $50 more than the dock itself. Very much off the mark in pricing in my opinion, and I rarely question the pricing of accessories.

final retail price.
Sammy is overpricing every official accessory now.

I just think if we give it time, more will pop up and for better prices.

£97.99 = $160.91, so $134.99 is decently less.
djchad, what case would you use for your Galaxy if you went with the Logitech BT keyboard? It looks like the Logitech only has a case for the KB itself.

Right now, I am solely using the Leather Pouch from Samsung. It was $27 here locally. I use the Samsung keyboard dock at home and just have the media dock at work. I thought about the Samsung Notebook case. But they have been hard to come by. After thinking about it....this case/keyboard maybe worth it. When trying to take notes in a meeting .... I'm all thumbs even with the thumb keyboard. Lol
But for the money and 100% handheld use, the leather pouch is great.

Thanks for the Expansys link, I just ordered one. I have a business trip later this month and having the keyboard will help, hopefully I get it before then, they are showing 7 days ship time so we'll see.

I saw a video of this official case (same part #) the other day. The video continued to show the same setup for the Tab 8.9, it was just a slightly smaller version - but the same.
It's in Spanish but you get to see the 10.1 and 8.9 official cases:

Doh! Well that will teach me

Weight : 1.22 lbs
It does seem to be out in South Korea, with a review here:
http://blog.naver.com/PostView.nhn?blogId=jyeonss&logNo=134414133&redirect=Dlog&widgetTypeCall=true
Hard to make sense of everything, but the scale clearly shows the Tab + bluetooth keyboard cover adding up to 1.12 kg, i.e., about 2.47 lbs. So, the Bluetooth keyboard case is about the same weight as the Tab itself(1.25 lbs). The total weight is almost the same as the 11 inch Macbook Air ...
Expansys has it for 133.99, which is less than the rumored 169.99, but still enough to make me think twice before buying it. I'd want to actually try out the keyboard and check the battery life before committing to it.

It's also available on Samsung's German Site:
http://www.samsung.de/de/Privatkund...ubehoer/bkc1b1d/BKC-1B1DEBGXEG/accdetail.aspx
I emailed them, and shipping to the US is 29 €
149 € + 29 € = 178 € = $253
Ouch...

Life Proof Case

Hey guys I have some good news. I emailed Life proof asking if they have plans for making their case for the S3 and new iPhone and this is the response I received:
Thank you for your email. Our LifeProof design team is hard at work designing cases and accessories that can accommodate the majority of devices and applications out there, including other smartphone platforms such as the Android, HTC, Galaxy and others. You can stay updated on all of our product updates and releases via our Facebook Fan page at http://www.facebook.com/lifeproofcases. Thank you and have a wonderful day!
So hopefully it shouldn't be too long before we see some of these cases hit the market. Or at least get some news.

While I would be all over a case from lifeproof, I wouldn't get your hopes up. That response is the same canned one they have been sending out for months. They keep saying they are working on other phone brands, but have yet to come out with anything. They even posted pretty much the same thing on their Facebook Page like 8 or 9 months ago.

Try SGP products, such as Argos providing full protection. It's a vertical-flip leather casing. It also gives a pure leathery feel.

The sgp stuff is nice, but many people are looking for a waterproof solution for kayaking, snowboarding, etc. Leather isn't exactly up to the task.

You know a lot of people say that, and if I were just paddling on a lake or hanging on the bunny slope that would probably offer enough protection. (its what I do when I go to the beach) I really don't think that would even come close to the kind of coverage I would need for my uses though. Class 5 Rapids and zip lock baggies are not exactly the best of friends.
Right now I just leave my phone in my car or stick it in my dry bag and bring a waterproof Panasonic camera, and I am fine with that. It would be nice to have a lifeproof type option though, and I would be willing to pay for it.

If your looking for a waterproof solution and are able to go a few days without your phone or have a back-up check out www.liquipel.com
I originally had my Nexus S treated by Golden Shellback, but they nolonger offer individual sales. but was referred to liquipel as they do a similar treatment.
Ive yet to use liquipel but LOVED the treatment Shellback did on my Nexus.
Basically they nano coated the components of your device so rather then blocking water from getting into your phone, this treatment waterproofs the components and allows the water to flow freely thru your device without causing damage to it.
If you go this route, when you get your phone back just throw it into whatever case you want n your golden.

Why exactly do you need your phone in class 5 Rapids? Texting?

pictures, gps or god forbid something happens and you need to make an emergency phone call ?

Pictures, video, gps, music. No cell reception on the river, have to radio a Ranger station if anything goes wrong. Supposedly US Cellular just got a big grant to greatly expand cell coverage across the less populated parts of Maine, may eventually be able to text from on the water
I have read about liquipel and it sounds pretty good. It is more designed for accidental drops and splashes though it isn't truly waterproof.
A lifeproof case also seems like it would be toddler proof, that would be nice too!

Yeah I'm tempted to try liquipel, but I'm still attempting to persuade Golden Shellback to do it for me since I'm a 3x repeat customer.
Their process is similar to what liquipel does, but rather then putting the device as a whole into the chamber GSB disassembles the devices first to ensure every component is coated thoroughly during the bonding process

Nope. Unless it is a sleeve with some extra room they won't fit as the Note is larger.

This one just came up (for me) on the Best Buy site. A little cheaper than Belkin's other case, but still a crazy price when you consider that it's a fifth of the cost of a Nexus 7! In stock at most stores though.

I posted some pictures in the 'cases' thread (page 3). It doesn't cover the pen slot - there is a cut out that you can see in one of the pictures. It is a little awkward to take out, but the opening is there.

Found this case on eBay:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Leather-C...ouches&var=&hash=item1c2a4e3122#ht_1418wt_754
If I get the note (still waiting in Q&A to hear if anyone has had any luck with usb powered hard drives first) might get it, looks pretty decent, should protect things nicely. Appears to have the S-Pen slot uncovered I think, and has a loop for a spare S-Pen (which may be covering micro sd slot which doesn't bother as micro sd would be staying in tablet).
Only thing that puts me off is that the description is for the Nexus 7, hmmmmm.
Although for a little more is this blue one (also eBay) which at least has the description stating it's for the Note.

At least this case has small little holes for the speakers but I have a feeling they are far too small to not muffle the audio.
I'm really enjoying my Note so far but it's been delegated to sitting at home most of the time due to not having a good case for it! I sure hope they sell that book cover soon because I really like that.
That Belkin looked pretty good too but no sale date yet.

Does SGN II White turn yellow over a period of time ?

Guys,
I am in the process of buying the SGN II - the best smartphone available these days, now I am in sort of limbo.
- The Titanium Grey Devices have a distinct gap which gathers dust around the screen, I noticed on approx 10 devices at different stores.
- I read on several blogs that the White device / body of samsung SGN II would turn yellow in about 3 months or so...!!
I am really confused now, I am even thinking if i should get the SGN II or not coz it's going to cost me 36K INR (approx. 654 USD).
Can someone please help me decide ??

Just the grey version gathers dust? Or the white as well, but you can't notice it?

I dont think this is true. I have the white one now going on 2 months now and its fine. If you look close at the White one you will notice that the white is actually not exposed at all. The white is actually coverd under a clear coat which gives it the shine that it has and the pebble smooth touch. So I would not give a penny to what or who ever you heard that from. Now on the back you have the battery door which is exposed and does not have the glass finish over it unlike the front of the phone. I have done this to get the best of both worlds. I have bought a carbon fiber/ Metal case that replaces the battery door on the phone and yes it has NFC built in the case. Does not really affect the signal for me as it replaces the door of the phone not just covers the phone completely and the OEM battery door. You whould check out this Ebay link to the case that I think will help you make up your mind.

Unfortatly I just received this cover today and had not tested the NFC located on the back cover. I just now tested it to try and beam pictures from my Galaxy Nexus over to my note 2. With the OEM battery case on the beam works fine but with this one I listed above when I put the case on the beam does not work T.T sorry for the mis information on the case. Looks like its back to using bluetooth which for me NFC is not a deal breaker since I have a international Note 2 so Google Wallet does not work anyways also I perfer blue to to NFC for only when I move pictures from time to time. Again sorry everyone

Guys, thanks a lot for your responses, I have bought a White SGN II and loving it. I bought a original Samsung back cover with front flap and it fits like a charm.....3 days with my SGN II and I am loving it. :good:

And yet it does. Sure it depends if you smoke, but the backcovers lowest section will change to yellow after a while.

I also noticed that my note 2 at times has yellowish hue but it could just as well be the interior lighting.

Yellow?! maybe it's just the moisture/sweat/grease off the hand, and over a length of time it builds up and stains the phone. Try cleaning it with some perfume that has ethanol in it. Makes your phone look brand new! and it has the feel of a new phone + smells nice. (but dont use too much of course - just a dab on a piece of cloth should do the trick.)

REVIEW: LG G Pad 8.3 Generic TPU "X-Style" Case

Hi everyone, I've FINALLY received this case from AliExpress:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/1pcs...Soft-back-case-for-LG-G-Pad-8/1532446130.html
As promised, here's a YouTube Video Review.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BV0AN_YhXpw
TL;DR verdict: It's cheap, it's black, and overall it works well. Fit is solid, all ports work out (except the SD card slot, which is covered - but that's hardly a dealbreaker), and it doesn't add any significant weight. Does not interfere with the speakers.
Would buy, but not from AliExpress. No fault to the vendor (who was pleasantly responsive to my inquiries), but on eBay you can now pick it up for $6 CDN shipped.
Thanks for reading and watching!

Mine was also sourced from the States as Newegg in Canada didn't have it at the time, Best Buy here STILL doesn't, and $259 USD on sale was worth the trouble of getting it brought up here by a family member.
The Quick Remote app DOES work on my Telus cable setup. I used the AT&T option and it works just fine. I don't know if Rogers, etc. would work, but one of the options just might be an equivalent. Good luck!

Ah, so you're out East.. I don't think Vidéotron equipment is any different than those used in the States, nor would it be unique to Quebec or wherever you are. I suggest just going through the available selections and see if one works for you. That's what I did.

Telus digital cable. I'll check the make of the box, but honestly the best thing is to cycle through the available options in the Q Remote. I found AT&T compatibility within two minutes, though to be fair I went alphabetically.

Did that and found 2cable companies that worked. Weird that thistablet still has not been released in canada where lg traditionally sells well.I imagine there will need to be a Canadian version of the lg software to include Canadian cable companies. Right now there are 3versions of the firmware. A,C,E. Am guessing it's American Europe and China.

By the way how it's your battery life.that and the little blue line are my only issues and they are not enough for me to consider returning this tablet. Had a nexus 7 2013 model beforewhich had brighter screen but I lost it forgetting it on the airplane. Having a note 3I felt the nexus 7was too similar in size. This is the perfect size for a tablet. Wish there were more accessories. Bought the ivso case and will use that when I need to but prefer it caselessSri if they ever had a case cover like the iPad mini would love that

Drifting from topic, but my battery life is about the same as most reviews. I haven't put it through any rigorous testing, but when watching movies or YouTube on the unit it holds up any two hours in a row that I'd need it, I have it plugged in while at my desk at work, and standby time is awesome. I noticed the blue line, but I had to look really, REALLY hard for it so in practice it's not an issue for me. No appreciable light bleed either. I use it indoors so brightness isn't a huge issue, but for the list price it should have been brighter.
This is a keeper for me - I'm keeping this case as well and may get the IVSO in Red when it becomes available on Amazon.ca in a couple months. I miss a cover for the actual screen on this thing, but as long as I'm not outside or traveling (I *do* travel for work, so we'll see in the long run) this will do just fine.

Hey guys,
Nice review Mark! I was looking to get a silicon case quickly and this was the cheapest to do that so I got one from eBay, shipping from Germany to the UK and it's already been dispatched so should be here next week sort of time. I got it in red and will have some photos up when it arrives.
The VOIA case looks nice but, I will see how this one turns out before I get that guy, I have done the whole folding cover thing with the N7 and they never got used so I will stick with silicon this time around
Tom.

No worries Toyface! I've had the TPU case for a week now and have already taken it on a business trip with me. I find it unobtrusive and very comfortable to hold in one hand, with the grippy texture on the back. The volume and power buttons are not tougher to use at all. I've even gotten used to the fingerprints on the shiny parts. The ONLY downside is that on some of the USB plugs I've used since the video, some of them do deform the rubber on the lip a little. I doubt this will be a long term issue though, it springs right back when I unplug it.
On real-life bumps: when the tablet slid off of a chair during an airplane landing (my bad, it was sitting on my coat and fell off as the plane was braking), it landed face down and had no damage. Incidentally, my headphone jack was plugged in and while the jack was bent, the tablet was undamaged and kept working with the earphones. Point LG!
Finally, when I carry this thing around outside, I use a slipcase for an old Acer netbook. Not the most ideal shape, and I may get a more form-fitting one eventually, but it works. It's to the point where I may not get the IVSO / generic flip case after all, as this is working just fine for me.
Please post some pics of your red version when you get it!

So, my case arrived a couple of days ago. Post from Germany to England was very good and the eBay seller (phonenatic) was pretty great really.
So far,I think the case is pretty good, but I hate the color. It's supposed to be red, but in reality it's more pinkish than anything else. Cutouts are all good (as you see in the photos) and it has thick lip around the screen so landing flat shouldn't be too bad there. This one came with two screen protectors, I fitted one then removed it a day later, I just hate screen protectors. it was very easy to get on there though.

Thanks for posting those pics! You're right, with the white version of the G Pad in there the red is muted somewhat to look more pinkish... I'm wondering if it'd look darked with a black version in there.
