Samsung Bluetooth Keyboard Case

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"...

thanks bro. yeh i think i will wait like you said before buying one. i am just really annoyed that ipad has so many accessories whereas I cant find a decent keyboard case which can sit on my lap. cheers for your replies!

I got one from Amazon real nice Fuax lwther with built in Bluetooth Keyboard. I paid $47.95 plus shipping about a month ago but just went to get the link and its on sale for $39.95.
this works perfectly.

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.

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).

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

[Q] NFC

Hey guys. Can someone direct me to the best place to buy NFC tags? I want ones that can hold the most data for the lowest price, and I would like them to also be a little sturdy, unlike some of the sticker NFC tags. Also, what is the best application to program these? Make sure these all work with the Galaxy Nexus (LTE). Thanks

I got mine from here: http://tagsfordroid.com
They are great. The keychain is very handy for my car setup.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

For some reason, I bought my tagsfordroid NFC tags from Amazon instead of directly from them... both were the same price, both had free shipping. At any rate, the keychain alone was worth the price of the entire package. I have mine set as an "escape" function that someone else here posted. Basically, I keep the keychain in my pocket, and if I wave my phone over my pocket, it will trigger the tag, send a text message to the website ifttt.com, which will trigger a phone call to my phone that says "You need to come home now, it's an emergency, it's bad!"
So if I am ever in need of an escape, like a bad date, I have an escape, lol!

hhaha thats such a good idea

Dock keyboard or case keyboard with slope screen regulation?

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?

Another Bluetooth Keyboard Solution
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.

I bought my GameKlip Mount from Dhgate.com because it was the most affordable option for me ($10). It doesn't come with the micro usb male cable so I purchased from eBay($2). The official Gameklip site didn't release a new case for Nexus 7 (2nd) gen model so I went ahead and bought a hard case from eBay. There is a soft silicon case alternative that costs a bit more than the hard. Everything costs pretty much under $20 which is a great bargain. Shipping takes awhile. The downside is waiting for everything to come.

Have any pictures? How does it feel in the hand?

Just FYI, the PS3 controller you linked to is counterfeit and I don't know how good those are in terms of quality compared to an official one.
If you live in america you should be able to find an official one at a decent price the next few days due to Black Friday sales and the release of the PS4 pushing prices down.
The gameklip is pretty neat. Hopefully they can release something similar for the PS4 controller soon.

Bought two. Both crap (pressing upwards resulted for example in going up+left). Both in the dustbin. Not worth any amount of money, imho of course :angel:

Exactly why I buy quality reputable items from reputable sources instead of searching for the cheap bargain. Wasted time is also money in my book.
Not dinging on ya or directed towards ya Pfeffernuss. Just my 2 cents is all.

It works? Fit the GameKlip with the Nexus 7?
Gesendet von meinem Nexus 4 mit Tapatalk

gameklip works awesome with both the 2012 and 2013 N7. Not sure why he hasn't sourced a 2013 N7 case yet.... I got mine from mobilefun in the UK... took a couple weeks to make its way to me but works well... very similar to the one that Gameklip bundles for 2012.

Has anyone ordered from DHgate or Aliexpress before? I only want to buy one and I'm not sure if there's a minimum order etc?
Other options are too expensive to post to the UK!

so there are 3 things at play here:
1 -- the gameklip itself -- you're only going to find it in one place. Do the poor bloke a favor who designed and drove it to market and buy it from him.
2 -- cases for the 2013 N7 -- mobilefun is a UK company -- need a spoon too?
https://www.mobilefun.com/40828-tou...hell-case-for-google-nexus-7-2013---black.htm
3 -- as of others have said buying anything other than a legit PS3 controller is hit or miss. it took myself a bad china order before I finally broke down and bought a real one.

Need a spoon? Read my question properly!
The original poster has links for the Gameklip on sale at DHgate anbd ALiexpress. I'm asking who has had good experiences from either DHgate or Aliexpress?
I understand exactly how it works, I already own a N7 2013 shell and a PS3 controller, I'm looking for the cheapest place to buy a Gameklip..

Again I would only buy a gameklip from gameklip... Going the China route you are screwing the guy that took the time to bring it to market.

Dont forget the Limelight app so that you can stream all of your Steam games to your Nexus 7. It works RIDICULOUSLY well. You do need a relatively new Nvidia GPU in your desktop and it certainly helps not to have a garbage wifi router, but if you pass that pretty low bar than its gaming nirvana.

19.95 + 14.30 (shipping) to get to me? 40+ bucks? That 10 bucks with free shipping from china is looking pretty tempting if you ask me, specially if I don't live anywhere near the US..
Don't get me wrong though, I love to support people and their products if I like them. I've bought stuff from the US and had it shipped here, but most of it are electronics though..

If you want to support outright piracy that is your call... You won't be the first and certainly not the last.

You'll be happy to know then (I hope) that I've found a seller locally (2nd hand but still)
A bit overpriced at 75+ bucks (coz he included an original dualshock 3 controller, but I think he's making up for the delivery of the gameklip), I'm negotiating getting the gameklip only as I know a friend who's selling two original dualshock 3s for 30 bucks (coz he's bought a ps4)

You guys can save yourself a lot of money if you root and use the SixAxis app in the playstore. The app lets you pair an existing PS3 controller via bluetooth and only costs $2.53.

After connecting a PS3 controller with an OTG cable, Should the controller lights stop flashing? My 1/2/3/4 lights just flash red even through it works fine?

As do mine

Finally received the gameklip with my 6 axis ps3 replica controller. Everything seems to work just fine! Im loving it!

[Q] NFC tags

Does anyone have buy from ebay or amazon cheap working NFC tags for our phone?
I brought these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191278074360 but they doesn't work in our phone (I test them in a Xperia Z1c)

What price fits in your definition of "cheap"?

Well more or less the same price of these I bought. Even double is ok. I don't have knowledge regarding the prices for good nfc tags
