I have a few of my users (yes IT manager here) asking if there is a physical keyboard for the s3 that is integrated with a case. They want the equivalent of this:
http://www.amazon.com/Ultra-thin-Sliding-Bluetooth-Keyboard-iPhone/dp/B0054KMWF2/ref=sr_1_3
They all know that any bluetooth or keyboard can work with it, they just wanted an integrated version as they prefer a bulkier s3 vs separate items.
I've looked around a bit and couldn't find anything, does anyone know where I might be able to find one? Or perhaps know a company that is making one now?
Thanks!
There are none :/

I think there are..but no idea how you would get one.

I've often wanted something like this when I need to answer a bunch of emails when I'm out and about. There are a bunch for iphones, but I've yet to see one to fit an Android device. It seems like if any phone would get one, the GSIII might. I've also wondered why nobody can seem to make the slider keyboard with an interchangeable TPU case to fit different models.

Yeah...found a site that has that one but its weird...its like you have to place a bulk order or something
Wow I sent a email a keyboard for this would be perfect

On eBay I came across this,
it's not really fit like the slider you mentioned though.
You know why you can't find one?
because it would make the camera useless, and severely diminish the speaker.
no-one has made a small enough keyboard to not cover them. the closest anyone has gotten is that computer generated render, in the previous posts that is not for sale.
it WILL happen.. just wait.

That's neat, but i wonder if the "hinge" can hold itself up
---------- Post added at 02:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:43 PM ----------
maybe someone needs to make a Gameklip-style thing, but for holding these micro-bluetooth keyboards (patent pending )
What would seem more practical and allow use of everything is the keyboard folding down. When it is closed laying against the screen with a flap or something separating keyboard and screen. You works have a full keyboard and since Bluetooth the keyboard could be used with other phone with the same case. Any case makers watching here... do it live. I've thought about it for over a year. I also have a good idea for amplifying phone speakers with battery any bulk. It works to made myself one.

It probably will (the hinge) hold, got a case from ebay and it was daaamn tight, surprisingly, it is still holding pretty good.

Like these?... http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trk...kw=galaxy+s3+keyboard+case&_sacat=0&_from=R40
The only concern I'd have about these is that they seem to just have a "soft" hinge (ie. just the material), so it probably wouldn't support itself. Something like this would be great though if it was a hard case (think Nintendo DS), as it would protect the screen when closed.

I hate physical keyboard that is soo old school. It's 2012 and we need to be up to date with technology.
Ignore the trolls. Any word on finding this sliding case for US purchase?

Not a good answer, but you can get a simple OnTheGo USB cable, and plug any USB keyboard in. Handy if you are going to do a lot of work on the phone. Not that you would carry a USB keyboard around.
FYI ele-boat says it'll be available for purchase November 10th.

I have it, and I'll be honest at first I was a little concerned, it looks and felt cheaply made at first site, but once I put in the tablet and I got it working it works great. I tend to forget to turn the keyboard off for days at a time and it still holds a charge days later. I haven't had any issues with the connection, the placement of the apostrephe key is a little odd, but other than that I love it.
---------- Post added at 02:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:02 PM ----------
Oh and the "stand" version if it is okay, but I prefer to lay down and/or sit so I have to hold my legs a little funny sometimes. You can't charge it while it's standing or closed though, that's a little dissapointing.
1. It's a good keyboard for the price.
2. There is a little ghost key problem.
3. It's a silicon keyboard.

Can you buy just the back plate and side case?
quickly buy insurance over the phone.
I already have it but this is a cosmetic defect that it won't cover. The phone still works just fine. I just need a new backplate and side part. Where can I buy those?
My phone almost slipped out my hands already 3 times. I'm definitely looking for a case.

I have that case on mine, I'm not a fan. It doesn't cover the bottom or top and it's pretty hard to get to the volume and power buttons since they are blocked from the top edge. I'd recommend something else. I just bought a metal "bumper" case that goes around the whole rim and has rubber button extensions that stick out of the frame from ebay. (there are versions with no rubber thingies which would pose the same problem - hard to get to the buttons, so I'd avoid those too)

I have this case and it's amazing... it's incredibly slim so it doesn't add much weight and bulk. The texturized back adds a nice grip and the front of the case comes up just enough to raise the glass off of surfaces when the phone is face down.
I saw parts on ebay for it already. The back cover and maybe the side?

I'm looking for something a little stylish in design and came across this.
I'm trying to favor Form over the actual function of a case. I'm almost tempted to get this one, but I wanted to see what others had as an opinion on it.
This case looks very similar to the iOttie Macaron case (see here)
If it is similar to that case as in feel and fit for the phone then I will buy this case immediately. I loved my iOttie for my iPhone 5 when I had it.
im really digging this case. might get it when funds arrive lol. anyone wanna buy a cruzer lite case? lol

I got my case in the mail over the weekend. I'll post pictures later.
Overall, it's very nice. The grip feels very good in the hand, and the case itself makes a perfect fit around the phone. The buttons aren't too tight like I've seen on other cases, but they make good enough contact that they work with every press. I'd even go as far as saying that pressing the buttons in the case feel more tactile than pressing the buttons on the phone itself.
My one complaint has to do with the rounded back. Oftentimes when I'm at restaurants or sitting at my desk, I'll set my phone on the table to use it. The rounded back makes the touch screen awkward to use as the case tends to slide the phone around a bit, or spin in place. I'd also gripe that the "iFace" logo is upside down when the phone is in proper landscape mode for camera use. No big deal though.
I got my case in the Android shade Lime-green color, but it comes in many different colors.
Also, Shipping took exactly two weeks for me, but YMMV.

It's not a whole lot to look at, but hopefully it helps. Excuse the orange paint stains on my kitchen counter. It's really bothering me in these pictures.
The back. Ample enough protection for the camera lens.
Spoiler
I really like the rounded contours along the perimeter of the phone. it feels good in the hand. It's got a soft rubbery grip. I actually nearly dropped my phone while taking one of these pictures, luckily for the grip...I managed to catch it in time.
Spoiler
The space for the MicroUSB and 3.5mm jack: Could be a bit tight for some, but works for all of my cords. My largest USB has quite a snug fit.
Spoiler
EDIT:WHELP, spoiler tags don't work like I assumed. Also, If you notice the ruler in the background, I was going to try and get some measurements, but a paper ruler doesnt do me very good when trying to figure out a difference between a couple milimeters. As far as thickness goes, the case doesn't even add a full milimeter. The sides are a bit of a different story, due to the rounded edges.
iFace case is strongly recommended for the Optimus G. It is very good quality with excellent grip.
Here is a link;
iFace first class Optimus G case
I've had a number of....accidental drop tests. This is truly a great case. The rubber bump-edge really does an excellent job protecting from falls. These aren't just little baby falls either, for instance, last night, my poor little phone fell from my hand, about 5 feet onto hard brick flooring. I've yet to acquire a single scratch anywhere on my phone!

Thanks, I found that really large thread on the N4 forums. It seems hit or miss and kinda depending on what you're looking for. I'm hoping that being here in Korea, I'll maybe get some support from the manufacturer :laugh: I'll update or maybe do a review once I get it. Maybe.

Hi,
I've been playing latlely with my galaxy note 8.0 wich by the way is the best tablet I've ever used and notice that is very slipery.
I have never dropped it or anithing so before it happens I decided to use some magic spell on it called protecturum griporum Plasti dip!!!... anyway, the question is:
Do you think it would damage the tablet over time?? heating or something else??
So far so good, no noticeable overheating or signal looss, it is indeed A LOT grippier. it is the first try so I didnt take to much time with the masking tape nor painting the logo, If it happens to be no problem whit it and I find it realy apealing, I will remove this coat and apply 3 coats of plasty dip and paint the logo using a stencil or something (sugestions?).
Anyway please post your comments, here some pics:
Is it clear, looks like you started with a black/brown Note. Did it make the Note less slippery. Will be interesting to see how it holds up over time.

Yea! It made it a lot less slippery, much secure to hold and set on surfaces where previously it would feel like sliding off or damaging the shiny white plastic.
I got the Galaxy note 8.0 in eBay for a reasonable price and the plasti-dip can was a gift from a friend who used it to protect some bicycle parts and got some to spare, I’m nor really sure where did he buy it but I guess plastidip.com is a good start.
It been two days and heavy usage of the tablet, no overheating o performance issues whatsoever so I would say it’s a safe procedure, will try the 3 coats and possibly vinyl logo in a few weeks.:good:
Cheers!!!

:| I have no clue... I mean the can isn’t very clear, it doesn’t say anything about the dry product, although it says the regular: keep off from eyes or skin and vapors inhaling and the sort, but every paint can says something similar so... Anyway it’s a great question so I checked in plasti-dip official page and found:
"Is Plasti Dip® safe to use on children's toys, animal containment, and/or on kitchen utensils?
Plasti Dip® does not contain any heavy metals, and when completely dry, is considered harmless. However, it is not recommended that it be used on items that may be chewed or inserted into the mouth as it may present a choking hazard."
I’m hoping this is accurate cause I like the feeling of the Death Note 8.0 and I have already plasti-dipped my keyboards hand rest and mouse hahaha... let’s keep researching.
If I find something significant I’ll keep you posted.
Thanks for the feedback
