keyboard cases - Nexus 5 Accessories

There are some really, really nice keyboard cases for some Samsung phones, and iphones. I saw an iphone one make of metal, thin, quite nice.
Has anyone heard anything yet for the 5? If so, any experiences?

I don't know of any specifically, but wouldn't any Bluetooth enabled keyboard work with the N5?

"Keyboard cases" though. Like this:
http://www.amazon.com/BoxWave-Keyboard-Buddy-iPhone-Case/dp/B0006L7MUO
or, this:
http://www.amazon.com/Generic-Magnetic-Wireless-Bluetooth-Keyboard/dp/B00FIG9PO8
They need to be device specific. I'm somewhat confident that we'll see some like this, but not *quite* confident enough to buy until I see at least one appear.
If anyone has seen / found any like these, for the N5, please post!
Thanks

Unknown Case

So I found these pictures of a motorola xoom case but I can't find out who makes the case or where to get it. Anybody own this case or know anything about it?
pics are attached
This case specifically I haven't seen. But I've seen many similar to it. Such as the ones by BLUREX, Bear Motion, and CaseCrown. I personally have the Case Crown one.

Thanks for mentioning those. I mean they are all nice cases. In fact, I almost got the bear motion cause its on sale at amazon. But I am particularly interested in this one. I really like the back and the fact that it snaps. Not that I'm sure this is a plus but the aesthetics are nice. Plus the cut outs are precise and the quality looks good if you zoom into the pictures. I hope someone knows something about it.

Yeah I actually sell them. (I'm a manager for a cellphone accessory store) I order them from a distributer called valor. Look here
I usually try to keep like 5 on hand, but they've been out of stock for weeks. I have one myself and I love it but I feel like I have to hide it because when I show it to customers they want one too lol, and I'm not able to get them at the moment.

And yes I love mine. I sell them for $39.99 so the $25 bucks that they are going for online seems good to me.

Smart cover case

This looks really good, has anyone gotten one?
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=270791339617&index=15&nav=SEARCH&nid=92293760327
Looks promising, I just don't like the part you slip the Tab into. I hate the way the Tab looks in cases like that. I much prefer the case holding the Tab in place at the four corners or like a true smart case like Apples.

Cool, thanks. Well, I'm gonna bite the bullet on that and give it a try. Only $19 anyway, no huge loss if it sucks.
I hope it's good!! I want a case like this!
There is a rather unflattering review of that amazon sold smart cove in the long cases review thread:

Well, so much for that. Love the concept though. I would spend more than $20 on a working one.
Review really sucks
hi, here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16299259#post16299259
After three days of using it, do not buy, the material stretch so bad i can't reach the volume or power control, can't plug the power with the case close. But mostly is a price of cap, don,t waste your 20 bucks.
My humble opinion
Moi
Since when does a ziploc bag constitute as a waterproof case?!
I just ordered one of these http://www.dealextreme.com/p/protec...-cleaning-cloth-for-samsung-p7510-black-82402
It also comes in a bunch of other colors

I love the wake-up/sleep function but I'm a bit skeptical that it has that. When you get it, can you confirm this? Thanks. If it does, I might get one myself.

yeah, i can't imagine that it has the wake up and sleep option, and if it does, why on earth don't other covers take advantage of this feature...
some of the pictures make the case look a bit vinyl like which I would not like, i'd gladly pay double for a higher quality.....if only....

I love this part of the description: "100% brand new,high quality Man-made leather". That is one cool way to say imitation!
anyone have this yet? real curious about the sleep wake functionality.
Quite honestly I have to wonder how hard it is to tap the power button when people want to use the Tab?

it's not hard, but
a) on some cases its on the bottom if you open it a certain way
b) if you can avoid pressing buttons, you can avoid wear and tear on them, I know many people have problems on many different smart phones with the power button wearing out...
Regarding the fact that the button is on the bottom on some cases, what does that have to do with this case if the button isn't on the bottom? Just wondering?
What is everybody talking about? There is no sleep/wake on the Tab

Of course there is. If you check the dealextreme website, a highly reputable distributor of Chinese manufactured stuff, you will see that the product information clearly states that it has the sleep/wake function... Although, come to think of it, I'm guessing most cases come with the ability to operate when you are both awake or asleep... Hmm...

Dual Case Compatible Charging Dock

Obviously Samsung is more well known, but has anyone heard of EZOPower. They have the exact Dual Case comp dock, they look almost alike except for labeling. Is it as good
which to go for? it is only 19 compared to $27
Thank YOu
This dock?

Since all this is is a charging dock, there is little for it be "better" or "worse". Essentially, all it is is a USB cable, with large head. personally i would go for the cheap one. If you were looking at a multimedia dock, it would be different.
personally, i would go for the hyperion one (also on amazon, and I cannot post links, yet because new members aren't allowed to help people directly, so you have to search for it) and save 2 bucks more.
thanks again
I found it. I had a bad experience with the wall chargers from them One didn't work. took awhile to get a refund
It looks ok tho.
1. It looks case compatible, don't you think?
2. The title says GS3, but the description says Galaxy Note. I do think it is for the S3
3. I did find the Kidigi which is more than that, the original Samsung, or the EZOPower, the Deluxe Piano Black Charging Cradle Dual Purpose Case Compatible. I dont know where to get it.
Thank You
I actually like this dock. Would LOVE to hear from anybody who has it if it would fit a thicker case like the Incipio Silicryilc. It's still fairly thin but not quite the skin-like cases that many love.

My thoughts:
1. case compatible? probably not... unless you have a dremel... if you do: yes it is.
2. with that shape, if it works for the note, i BET it works for the S3, as the S3 is thinner... but it might be "floppy"
3. kidigi says that the only US retailer is hypercel, but hypercel's website does not have it listed....

Bluetooth Keyboard and Stand

I mainly bought this tablet for school. I was looking into a good bluetooth keyboard with Android specific shortcuts like Home, Recents, Back and Menu. I was looking at the Motorola Wireless Keyboard with Trackpad seeing that it also has a trackpad. But I notice that it has a search button instead of Recents. Would I be able to remap the search button to work for Recents instead?
Also I was looking at stands. I prefer to have a stand alone stand and not a case/stand combo because I love the sleekness of this tab. I was looking at the Arkon Portable Fold-Up Stand but it looks kinda flimsy. Last thing I want is this thing flipping over and breaking.
Can anyone give me some thoughts or other suggestions if need be?
Edit: I just seen the ErgoPROP Ergonomic Display Stand. I think I am sold on this one. Has anyone ever used this stand before?
I have this keyboard http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-920-...089&sr=8-1&keywords=logitech+android+keyboard, and I love it. It's case doubles as a stand.
I agree too, i bought ithe logitech and love it. I haven't tried other keyboards, but im pretty happy with the logitech so i dont think theres really a need to try a new one
I have two of the Arkon stands, which I use with both the Note and my ThinkPad - a heavier, bulkier tablet. The stand is not flimsy at all and has held up well in constant use. I've had the two stands for more than a year. Very portable, but also very sturdy.

I was going through the Website for Samsung India and found something which I would like to have.
Its not made for the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 but was wondering whether this will work?
Bluetooth Keyboard with Book cover(P750) - BKC-1B1USBGINU
Please let me know whether this will work for us and i'll be very thankful.
Thanks.

You'd been saying a no, reason being the weight of the product?
The price is not the prime issue, my reason to vouch for it is it being the product by Samsung for Samsung...
I'm confused because there aren't a lot of products directly available in India
My reason is based on the size of the Note. It is bigger than the model that item is made for. That said, it's your $.
You were right.
I did little checking too with the local dealer.
Besides that, I even mailed the Customer Care at Samsung and asked them for details.
They have reverted back saying it is not compatible.
What would your suggestions for a keyboard case be like?
Are Samsung Guys at all planning for something like this?
I'm looking for one myself. Haven't found one I like, yet. Check out this thread for help. The first couple of posts are not helpful since they talk about one for the Tab, maybe even the one you found. The rest of the posts may be quite helpful, just depends.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1865546
Hmm...
Its kinda sad but Samsung ain't taking a lotta effort it seems.
Hundreds of options (After Market) are available.
Belkin, Kensington etc... have organised accessories but I think / rather I would wait for Samsung.
Hope its not a LONG one...
Thing is, it's still kind of early. Could be Samsung is letting the aftermarket handle things. Who knows?
Think you're right.
Anyway its nice to know I'm not the only one on the lonely road.
I'm pretty sure though the options will be available in Europe / US markets comparatively earlier than India (Asia).
If so, can you be kind enough to inform me of the product?
Thanks.

Sure, if I find one and if I remember. I do taxes and we're heading in year-end and tax season. It's brutal.

I have an identical stand sold under a different brand name. I stopped using it when I got a ZAGGFolio for my old Tab 10.1, but since I don't have a proper keyboard/case combo for the Note 10.1, I'm using the stand again.

Because it is for the Tab 10.1, not the Note 10.1.
It's VERY well established that any case specifically made for the Tab or Tab2 10.1 will NOT fit the Note 10.1.

The build quality is great it feels nice and solid. Pairing is quick and easy and the mouse pad works great now i just need to find out how can I map the call button on the top right to bring up recents and ill be set

Yea thats it. Its a great keyboard so far. the only con so far is that it uses AA Batteries instead of having a built in battery. But I got a ton of rechargeable batteries so idc too much

Where can I get info on this case?

I'm currently trying to fully work out if the N1 has sleep/wake functionality when used with a case. It looks likely that it's not got however, when watching this N1 promo video (http://tinyurl.com/q76cq4g) the user has what looks like an official case (seen @ 0:36) and which also looks like it fixes by magnets to the back of the N1, a nice feature.
I'm trying to find out more info about this case and wondered if anyone knew anything at all about it.
Wow, great looking cover. I'd buy one but haven't a clue where to get it. If anyone has info, please post.
Great case and seems easy to detach... all magnetic... I couldn't find it anywhere let's keep on looking!
The case in the video is great, but i can't find it anyway.
