any reviews?
guess not mehhhh, hope its nice. Saw some on Ebay for like 1/2 the price, I wonder if they are fake
PDAir stuff looks really nice, but is a little too expensive for me. Check out the shipping charges for the ebay ones, with shipping included they weren't much cheaper last time I looked.
Yeah, I can't justify the cost of that.
A friend of mine owes me a large sum of money from some sports betting. He sucks at giving me cash, but bought my Xoom for me and allows me to spend $$ on his paypal account, thats why I splurged, lol

Splurge and get us all hookers?
So far this is the best looking case I have seen. I sent an email to them asking for a picture of it in a "typing angle" but haven't gotten a response. I can see how the typing angle works on the version 1 but I'm not sure on the version 2.
If anyone here has this case maybe you can post a pic of the different angles not shown on the vendor website.

i can when mine comes, next week i hope
I am also interested in seeing more pics of the PDair. This is easily the best case I have seen (maybe the Zenus ones will be nice, but they are taking their time).
If the design is similar to others like kevikev case, then I would go for kevikev case ..
Would be interested if you have to insert your xoom upside down like kevikev or they invent a better idea !!
Upside down is a showstopper as I haven't found a DLNA-compatible video player that rotates when the XOOM is upside down.

Whether you have it propped up in the landscape veiwing angle, or propped in the landscape typing angle, the screen remains with the vrz logo on top. I have only used it a little so far, but have not had a situation where I had to view the screen with vrz logo on the bottom. You do have to have the case open to access the charging port though. Or you can just insert the xoom upside down in order to expose the charging port while the case is closed. I think overall it was designed pretty well.

Hi guys. I am really interested in buying one of these.
http://www.dodgybastards.co.nz/bluetooth-keyboard-case-for-10-1-galaxy.html
I was wondering if any of you guys own this? If anyone does would you mind giving me your opinion on this case?
There seem to be next to no reviews of this case out there whereas there are a lot of reviews about the zagg and Logitech cases. Unfortunately those brands oonly sell cases for ipad here in new zealand. Thanks
I own this and am quite happy with it. Looks good and the keyboard is a joy to type on.
Two things I'm not very happy about are weight (unavoidable, I guess) and, mostly, that there is no way to use it with the tab in portrait mode. Oh, and I think it is a tad too expensive.
I would have bought the Logitech, if only I could. For the portrait mode. But I don't at all regret having bought the Samsung.
You can see the thing in action on Youtube (mind you, in Italian). I was going to post the link but, as a new user, I can't. Search for "Tastiera originale Samsung per Galaxy Tab 8.9 e 10.1"

thanks for your reply mate, really appreciate it. yeh its a tad expensive isnt it, thats why I wanted some opinions before buying it. I never use my tablets in potrait mode, unless I am reading a comic which is very rare. the 10.1 just looks silly in potrait if you ask me lol
Also, I usually prefer to have it on my lap rather than on desks, does the stand sit stable on laps? because the stand kinda looks weak and unstable. I know it'll be fine on desks and tables but does it slide around when in your lap?
The stand is indeed very flimsy. OK for a table or desk, provided we don't push or pull the keyboard. As for a lap, I hadn't even considered it. Well, I just tried and... no. Absolutely not.
It is sort of possible to forget about the stand and leave the tablet flat. Requires one hand to hold it or it will hit the floor in no time. Not practical at all.
After I bought the Samsung case, I saw a Logitech look-alike on Amazon UK. I wouldn't really risk buying one now because: 1) I already own a very nice keyboard case, and 2) the only sellers offering it have appalingly low ratings. Still, if it works as advertised and one could find a reputable source...
Again, no links. But try searching for "Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard Aluminum Case for Samsung Galaxy Tab10.1"...

hey thanks for the link bro. I've owned similar cases for other tablets before and I really dont like the rubber keyboards on them.
oh and I went ahead and bought the samsung keyboard dock instead of the keyboard case. the dock is great. since it has got the 30 pin connector, the tab slots right in and you dont have to worry about it falling. and most importantly the dock sits stable on my lap and I can type just like a normal laptop. it doesnt move around. I really like it
omg that one is too expensive dude..
maybe you can check Apple bluetooth Keyboard.. quite good man. it's light, good materials and 100% compatible.
Logitech bluetooth keyboard is a very good choice aswell.
good luck bro.
I have the Zagg case and it is pretty great. I also have the Samsung white keyboard which is almost perfect except that it will revert to the Samsung on screen keyboard after using it . This is a pain since I use touchpal.
The new OEM keyboard case looks handsome but not as useful as Zagg.

its just a keyboard with buildin bluetooth and a case!! ok its oem but who cares, not worth the money i think.

Yes, it can. There's four little rubber stops that keep the keys off the screen when closed that double as feet when fold the keyboard under the way you described. And while yes, it's pricey, it's the slimmest, best fitting, and best made of the keyboard cases out there.
I purchased the official case cover a few days ago from Samsung. I am shocked about how few reviews there have been online. I could not find a decent video review. I am hoping that the build quality is decent, as my Zagg keyboard (Zaggfolio) broke - the space bar no longer works. I will probably take the replacement keyboard they sent me and sell it on ebay.
By the way, I saved 15% by using the coupon code: Samsung#1 on the Samsung.com website and got free next day air shipping.

Here is my review of the Samsung OEMKeyboard case.
Pro's
Very light, form fitting, well designed. Easy to type on.
Con's
No touchpad, no sd port, no built in battery, pretty expensive, cannot really use effectively in the portrait mode.
Overall, this is clearly superior to the Zaggfolio. .. but pales in comparison to the Asus Transformer keyboard (which is the same MSRP).
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium
Just got this case today and I must say I am completely happy with this purchase.
It literally turns your tablet into a laptop.
Duqjag complains about not having a touch pad however the entire screen is a touch pad which would make a little square panel obsolete and difficult to use.
My only quarms with this keyboard is the left shift key being so small that you'll find yourself with a lot of \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ on your screen when trying to capitalize a letter.
Also if there were a way to make certain trigger keys customizable this would enhance the experence too. e.g. the mail button opens the mail app as opposed to the google mail app. Internet button opens the stock browser as opposed to Opera or dolphin.
It stands up on almost every surface without issue and if you fold the keyboard over it also acts as a bottom panel to keep the screen in a face up position.
Vertically it doesnt work but do laptops????
Fork out the cash I say and enjoy the ride. As tablets get better internally, 10.1 will still be a dimension samsung keeps using so i can confidentally say that this case will be transferable to newer models.
Hi,
I've got the Samsung BT-Keyboard-Case here in Germany for a really affordable price - 57,- €, and it is worth every cent. The look and feel of the case is noble, but durable, and when I carry it arround here at my college the I-Thing-users get possessive.
It has a built-in recharable battery which lasts for some 3 days. I use it flipped over as a night stand at my bed, listening to Tune-in radio, I work with it every day, and the cover protects the case perfectly.
The only con is that it doubles the weight of the pure tab, but I really can say that I am happy with it and would always buy it again.
I am looking for keyboard as well, want something nice, shineny neath, but inexpensive. (Not sure it does exist )
Are those aluminum bluetooth keyboard on ebay and amazon so useless? Any suggestion pls.
If i can not find any good review on those no brand keyboard i might have to buy logitech and it costs fortune

review:
After my first disapointing buy from ebay i bought this "sexy"
synthetic leather case.
Its weight is 290 grams.
Is a very-very slim case and when it closed, the case is tightly fixed on the tablet.
It has 3 deep grooves for standing and the tablet is very stable in these positions.
The philosophy of this case is "to not hiding nothing from the tablet when you use it."
On the back side there is a gentle opening for the camera.
It smells like leather.
The close clip aplly a good force to keep the case closed.
Every button or socket of the tablet is accesible with closed case
And finally i am happy, and this is the most important
Looks good, does it have a typing angle? What is the name?
also are you able to charge the tab without having the case open? i have one such and i need to have my case open each time i charge which is a pain
This is maybe the case I'm looking for. Can you please share the name and the link for the case. Since you can't post links, replace for examples the dots of the url with spaces or some other characters.
Maybe this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320786081962#ht_2592wt_1165
You have to open the case when charging (if I remember right).
I bought this. Premium quality indeed.

I must say the case looks really nice!
I was wondering about the 3 viewing angles though - do they firmly support the Tab? Would hate to buy it and then find out it slips and falls out when I set it up on one of the angles (I saw that happen before...). Also, is it possible to use this case to prop your Tab up when you put it in your lap (in bed or something similar)? Or is it too flimsy?
And do you feel the extra weight when you carry the tab around? I really love how light it is right now, you don't even notice you have it in your bag (with the standard samsung pouch on) and it's really easy to hold it in one hand and typing with the other if you're walking around the house.

The gaps for the 3 viewing angles are deep enough, and yes you can use it in your lap, my wife do it often.

is still light it is just 290 grams more.
but if you want to use it with one hand, i think that the best way is
to hold it in portrait like a book because the total weight is about 850 grams

The same case, with a new name, posted once again in a new thread. This was $12 on amazon last week.
Really? I sure couldn't find it when I looked (didn't look really hard though)
Doesn't really matter though, if it's a good case I'm more then willing to spend $23 on it. The most basic samsung pouch costs 25€ (about $35) here :S.

For people trying to find one from the UK...
I purchased a look a like case from here:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005ECHQ4C
I was struggling to find it as cheap as in the US for example.
The one from the above link, seem to be very good so far. All viewing angles work great, both on a flat surface and on my lap. The typing position is my most used.
'Leather' quality seems good so far. Of course it is going to add some weight, but not really an issue for me. ALL ports/buttons are fully accessible, inc charging when case is closed.
its a great case

and they have worked with all my Samsung Android phones WITH "thinner" type cases. When I put the Diztronics case on the GNex it didn't fit by a hair so I took a Dremel tool and ground down the front edge just a little. It looks a LOT worse in the picture (since it is close up and due to the lighting) then it does on my desk but it could also be done a lot neater. I kind of slipped with the Dremel. For the price, these docks can't be beat. They only make them in 1 size yet they advertise them as if they are different (and jack up the prices depending on the phone). There is NO audio or video out, it's simply a charge/sync/nightstand cradle.
Today I broke down and ordered the "RND Power Solutions Deluxe 2nd Battery Charger and Data Sync Cradle" from amazon.com (too new to post a link, just give it a search).
This may be what you are looking for, because it is described as having an insert you can put in/remove depending on the case you are using.
I should have this guy in-hand Friday and I can give you a more detailed review.

Not sure you´r correct, since they are saying in the reviews, that the sparepart charger doesn´t fit their type of battery, but its ment for the GSM version. .
So IMO this one on Amazon is for the GSM-version, but still wil work for the LTE versions phones, but not the spare battery they may want to charge..
That looks to be the same as the KiDiGi one listed on the Mobi site except the Amazon price is a lot less expensive. However on the Mobi site it is listed as a GSM (i9250) version.
I've been tempted as they also have a car dock with the same form factor but I'm really looking for something that looks decent but allows me to leave my Qmadix case on the phone.

I just ended up getting the gogostand and taping it to my desk. Works flawless. Yes it doesnt charge, but I couldnt find anything that I liked without having to remove my case each time. And I wasnt going to do that.
I'm having a hard time understanding the differences between these 2 Samsung covers.
What is the EFC-1G2NGEGSTA material? Is it the same as the non-magnetic book cover EFC-1G2NGECXAR? I've seen the EFC-1G2NGECXAR at Best Buy and wasn't really that impressed. It seemed kind of like cheap vinyl/plastic. Is the only difference between these the magnet?
I would like to know as well about this. Why does Samsung have different prices for what it seems to be the same cover?
So I see Samsung now has these in a many new colors. Wow. Well I used my 50% off coupon and bought the official gray cover from their store. Total was about $35 with tax and shipping.

Sent from my GT-N8010 using xda app-developers app
Has anyone figured out what the exact difference is? I just purchased the magnetic one and saw some youtube reviews of the original. SAME THING! Magnets in the the same place. Same coverage. I just got off the phone with samsung and they couldn't tell me the difference. They say the magnetic one has more magnets. I don't think so. Also they say the materials are different. I'm not sure about that. Samsung guy also told me that they don't make the book cover anymore and this is the new one. Which is why they charge $10 more. In my opinion, they just relabeled the same product and made it more expensive. Can anyone confirm there is a difference?
So I stopped by a local best buy and compared my "magnetic" book cover and realized there is absolutely no difference. Size, weight, material, magnetic placement were all the same.
@dtziheucdavis if you're thinking that the magenetic one keeps the front flap closed it does not. (At least the one I have)
So now I'm wondering if samsung sent me the wrong one if there is a difference.
Any thoughts? As mentioned I spent about 30 minutes on the phone with samsung and after 3 reps later, all they could tell me was that there are more magnets and the material is better (not true through direct comparison). If there are more magnets its non functional.
Well, I just used the 50% off promotion and ordered the red one. I already had the gray 49.99 model, so i will be able to do a comparison as soon as it arrives. Also, I was able to use the coupon to order the s pen holder. It has good reviews on Amazon.
I just would like the option of the screen going off automatically when the cost is closed m or the s pen is re-inserted into its holder on the tab.

I received my EFC-1G2NGEGSTA today. It appears to be the same as the non-magnet one I saw at BB, with the exception of the magnets. Seems OK. I may keep it, despite growing to really like the i-BLASON I got from Amazon.
We shall see if the non-latching (or non-magnet clinging) cover is an issue. I kind of liked the latch on the i-BLASON and the extra padding the case provided.
Took one week to arrive from order placed to received.
EDIT: Really digging the fit and slim profile! I hope it doesn't suck up the scratches.

Hey where exactly is the magnets? On the regular book cover there are magnets too. When I compared my magnet one to the non magnet it was exactly the same. Is there a magnet that keeps the front flap closed? I sat at best buy for 10 minutes comparing my magnet and the regular book cover to find no difference. Thanks.

So the "front" cover has 3 sections (seperated by 2 creases)....a 1 inch or so section near the "hinge", a 4 inch or so section in the middle, and a 1/2 inch or so section. It seems that the only parts that stick are the 1/2 inch section when it is aligned in the middle of the cover back.
Hard to describe without picture, but does that make sense?

I think this is how mine is, it allows the cover to kind of form a stand

That is exactly how my "Magnetic" one is. And from what dtziheucdavis says his non-magnetic one is the exact same. I think Samsung just rebranded and is now charging $10 more for the same thing. Not cool!
I might be a little off topic but I found this case on ebay.co.uk:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Smart-Mag...lePhonesCasesPouches&var=&hash=item416f5f3250
It really looks like the official ones that you are talking about, and it only costs £11!
Do you think that there is any trick here? I'm surprised by such a low price and it makes me suspicious, but more than 300 people already bought it and the seller is an ebay top-rated one...
I also had a few questions for the owners of an official case: does the 2 positions (for typing and viewing) hold well? Will the tablet fall if I type a bit strongly on the screen? And also, I don't use the camera that much but it can happen so isn't it too annoying that the camera is covered when you open the case?
Thanks guys!

I bought one 15 € and it's just like the official one (excepted the price).
You have to know that samsung offers 20 € if you buy an official one, so it will cost you only 20 €

I received my red magnetic case today. I can say without a doubt that it is the exact same case as the book cover case. It has the same materials and functions exactly the same.
