[KEYBOARD] Ultra Compact Mini Bluetooth Keypad

Hello everyone,
Its me again, I have just ordered a keyboard called Compact Bluetooth Keyboard from chinavasion. It is the first keyboard I have ever bought for a Smartphone. One of the reasons was since the size of the galaxy S2 is so compact, it would be possible to attach an external keyboard with it using a swivel, or sliding mechanism.
Now I need feedback from all of you guys and would like you to come up with every possible alternative that can be opted for turning our Galaxy SII into a sliding keyboard. I did come across range of other Keypads, but they are all geared towards the Iphone. So in vain I would like you guys to suggest me if it is possible to attach an external keypad on it.
PS: I would like to emphasis on any user who is from China or any other asian countries where there is a lump market for this keyboard, if you see upon or know any manufacturer who makes a similar or modified device to post thier links here.​
Anyways here is the link to the keypad i bought ::::::::::

Well I am interested in getting something like a swivel that j can connect between the phone and the keyboard. Thus making it somewhat rotatory mechanism.

I'm interested... Compact bluetooth keyboards are handy especially if they are cheap and work well. Add to this the MHL cable and bluetooth mouse gets you an emergency presentation kit.
Can always just link it to my PS3 too...

Got nice BT keyboard of ebay - under £10 delivered, mhl from mobilefun, zeemote from amazon and mouse from 7dayshopper on ebay all working great. will post more details if required when back at pc.

sound nice. tell how much did u shell out and if possible take a picture of all of 'em.

I'm interested and subscribed.

+1 Looks great

yah i know ;D ETA is 12days, so hold on to your horses video and review soon.

has any of you guys found any docks or extension plugs to hold the phone and the keyboard together ?

Exactly the type of KB I am after, so I'll be waiting for the review .
As for mounting it to the phone I would have thought that you could do something with a hard case, some thin metal strips and epoxy glue would give you a mounting system for typing on...

I cant wait to find out how much battery power this thing uses.

Stop how do you intend to put this on the SGSII?

I can't imagine mounting it to be pragmatic what so ever. Definatily possibl with fibreglass or polyurithane(sp?) Maybe he knows an automotive bodyman who can help him out.
I suppose battery life is the same as regular bluetooth connection right? And the device itself should last a while. Pretty neat gadget. I could really see myself using it on a tablet. If only I had one

From the looks of the 3.5mm cover, it doesn't fit flush does it?

How would you pry it off if it was flush? Need a little nub to grab a hold of.
Nice find. Would come in handy for those of us without full-body armor cases that go to the beach or other dirty environments not-so-often.

Ok maybe not exactly flush but most of these things are made of rubber or something similar. You should be able to use your nail to pry it off.

Reserved for later. Thanks for sharing dude!

Does the Galaxy Nexus have a case like this?

My friend just got the S3 and I saw him last night. His phone had this cover on it: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax...ds=Samsung+Protective+Flip+Cover<br /><br />I it looks sick in person, I figured they MIGHT have one for the Nexus being from Samsung and all, but I've not seen one that was the same (I did find a few flip case ones, but nothing as slick as the one for the S3. Maybe I'm not looking in the right place? I figured I'd have seen one by now if they had them, but who knows.
I have the otterbox case currently, and I've had it since it came out, but I'm hoping for something a little nicer at this point.

this is the only one I know about, no where as sexy but it's similar. link

I've seen these ROCK cases on eBay. I've heard good things about their case for the Galaxy Tab, so it might be worth a shot. (sorry for the huge image)

I almost got the rock case. But then I realized that battery life would drop significantly seeing that it covers the notification led.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

the notification led uses barely any battery and you could cut a hole out with an exacto knife

Maybe I'm missing something here... Why would your battery be reduced by covering the notification LED? I fail to see how this affects the battery.
And plus, isn't the LED "covered" in a sense, when it is in your pocket? Am I the only one finding this a strange statement?
BTW, I do not mean to come by as rude or disrespectful I just don't understand....

The led is probably one of the least power consuming part in your whole phone. Even the headset speaker uses more power lol..

I think he means because he would be turning the screen on more often to check for notifications since he won't be able to see the led blinking?

That doesn't make sense. If that was his concern, he'd just open the case and see if the light was blinking or not much like he'd do if there was no case.

If I'm going through the trouble of opening the case, I'm not gonna wait to see the led. I'll still turn on the screen. That would be the battery consumer, turning it on more frequently

Where you purchased this? and how much?

^^Seen a similar design flip case here in abu dhabi, about $15, but it is quite hard to install I don't know why..it will replace your original battery cover. Less protection on the sides of the phone but hey a hard to find accessory

Dude get yourself a Seidio case and protect your phone in style.

Man, if you could find the website where you got this, that would be awesome. It's not quite the same as the one for the S3, but it's probably the "closest" i've seen, and I would settle for that one.

I like this kind of cases but don't like the leather battery cover

The Palm Touchstone isn't Qi compatible, so unless you mod the palm coil into the Nexus 7, it won't work.

Honestly is is that hard to plug it in? Not trying to sound judgmental here, everyone has the right to want what they want but I just don't see the draw here. It isn't like it's portable, it's still in an outlet. You get to pay 50 bucks to skip the annoying, always difficult *plug into device* step? This seems ludicrous! Is there something I am missing here?

It will eliminate the chance of breaking the fragile micro USB port if the tablet is accidentally knocked off or dropped while connected.

Never thought of that! I have never dropped anything in my entire life even as a baby, but I have a 3 year old! Might be worth buying a cheap charger if I can find one for like 15-20 bucks

Charging just fine on my Fatboy Nokia charging pillow.

You have to center it in landscape on the nexus 4 wireless charger but it works perfectly as reported earlier

I am definitely purchasing it. I am still using my OG Atrix 4g and one of the main reasons is the custom docks. I use them daily.

Your gonna be waiting a bit longer if you order the desktop dock. I just got this email....
"We had a small inventory mix up on the site this morning with the PowerDock for Moto X, it is actually not in stock yet and will not be available until the week of 9/9. If you don't mind waiting, your order will process and ship when it becomes available, I wanted to give you a heads up.
Let me know if this is ok, or if you'd prefer we cancel the order.
Thanks,"

For those PM'ing about the desktop dock I got mine from these guys.
