Hello again,
Has anyone found a cheap case for the folio (cheaper than the toshiba's one) ?
for the moment all the cases I found seem to small.
Thanks
I was looking for some too but Toshibas looks too horible!
Therefor i chose some 10" ordinary neoprene case...
I am using the following keyboad cum case. It fits our Folio perfectly, and the keyboard works!

thanks a lot !
Thanks, I was looking for something for a while now and just orderd it.
I am having so much fun with this keyboad case. I pair my Folio with my BT stereo headphone and watch a movie. People are wondering and ask what netbook I am using. I remove the Folio and they are amazed that I have a keyboard and a BT headphone connected to the Folio.

With all the looking for cases and such, a lot of talk about this case for 'X' will fit or not fit. Does anyone know of an more popular brand that has the same dimensions as G-tab? It might make finding access. easier. I know the Kindle DX is close.

It is known that cases/covers for the DX will fit the G-Tablet, just don't get the ones that have the strip up one side that obscures some control.
The Malata Z-tablet is the (near) identical twin, but accessories for them are just as hard to find. There are also a handful of Chinese "custom" cases that are being sold (but stay in fairly short supply) just search this forum and you will find them.
I've seen a few Kindle DX posts that like it, but there seems some contention on how well it fits. I don't think I found one that fits that also has the stand. Yeah, the Malata case are a rare bird, and seem a bit more expensive. i will check for the custom ones...Thanks..
I think most 10 inch netbook cases should work. I bought the "HP - Mini Netbook Sleeve" from Best Buy, and it fits OK, not quite glove tight but good enough.
Try a new Targus iPad case?
I tried 10" netbook sleeves and they all seemed too roomy (not snug). I ended up getting a newly released (in Taiwan) Targus iPad soft case. A little snug but fits.

So there are a couple cases out there with integrated (or designed around) small form factor keyboards (i.e. electroniccrap.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=21). Who out there owns a case like this, and what are your thoughts? I'm open to either bluetooth or USB, I just want some first hand responses from those that currently own one.
Thanks!
Had a case with usb keyboard. Used it for a while for lengthy typing sessions but the keyboard was too small for me to use for long periods without my hands getting really tired. Plus, that case was made with really cheap shiny plastic so it looked awful. In the end I bought a mini keyboard that was slightly bigger than the one in the case that also had a multi-touch touchpad on it.
I haven't used the BluTo but I would assume I would have the same complaint about the size of the keyboard being too small for my man-hands. But from reading it2Steve's review on the BluTo the build quality sounds much better than the usb one I've owned.

Which keyboard do you use now? Do you just put your tablet on a stand in front of the keyboard?

I have a CLIP case so it acts as the stand. And I use the mini-usb keyboard from Gear Head with the multi-touch touchpad. I only gripe about this keyboard is that it doesn't have a right-shift key but I noticed that a lot of mini-keyboards don't have it either.

I am using the Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000. Works great on the Vegan Gingerbread Rom. Mouse is a little frustrating, but that is what a finger is for.
I think I have the same keyboard case that was mentioned before. I'd link to it but I'm new but just do a search on ebay for gtablet keyboard. I think it's pretty good for how much it cost ($26 as of this writing) when you're doing heavy typing and the fact you dont have to lug around another piece of hardware separate from the tablet around. I also have the clip case too which is great when you want to travel light.
I'm using the case with USB keyboard found on Amazon. I was interested in the BlutO but got tired of waiting for them to be in stock, and then finding them sold out each time. Very frustrating.
I haven't used it too much yet, but so far it's great for my uses, as well as being less than half the price of the BlutO. It's small enough that the G Tab and case fit in a carrying bag made for 10" Netbooks.
A lot of the reviews on Amazon fussed about the white stitching, which I agree looks tacky. I solved that with a Sharpie marker.

I don't think Steve has ever had the BluTo in stock yet. The last update I got was that they were still stuck in customs.

What's your pairing code? i just got the same keyboard, but can't pair it.
i have the 27 dollar amazon one..
hi
i just received the 27 dollar amazon one...
http://www.amazon.com/Viewsonic-G-T...RK124NKBQ4LI&s=generic&qid=1303521489&sr=1-11
1. leather is defn not real.. but not bad.
2. keyboard keys are smaller, but not bad.
(i have a question, is there a way to disable the on screen keyboard popping up every time i click into a text box?)
all in all, with the built in kick stand, which is perfect for keeping an awesome viewing angle, its a great buy. Shipping is slow. but worth the wait.
I am going to test out, not bringing my netbook with me, just the gtab with this case alone... i am tempted to get a USB hub, so i can bring a wireless mouse though...
Active Keys with the new OTA update?
I got one of the USD keyboards from XiLi the China link. It took just under a month to arrive but fits well. I have the latest OTA update on the Gtab and find the E key opens my email and the g key opens my browser when I have Color Notes open.
Do I need a translator of some kind to recognize the inputs? New update claims to make the Gtab open to USB keyboards. Kind of strange.
I would love to get a case like the one on Amazon that included a Bluetooth keyboard instead of a USB one. It seems like a shame to tie up a USB port and worry about a cable to it that might protrude. Since the gTablet supports Bluetooth, it seems like that would be a better solution. Does anyone know of a case with bluetooth keyboard that is the same size as the gTablet?

Last time I paired a keyboard you just pick a code and type it in followed by the enter key (enter it first on the android side). This was with CM7 and an older Microsoft bluetoooth keyboard.
I would be interested in stuff like this too.
What about the Ipad bluetooth keyboard cases?
There are quite a few Ipad bluetooth keyboard cases as low as $30 now. Anyone have any luck getting one of these to work with the gtablet?

What case has a keyboard AND multitouchpad for the G Tablet????
Anyone have a link??
I have been looking for a new case for my Sony Tablet S, and I have seen a few people with the ZaggFolio, It’s a case, Bluetooth keyboard and stand all in one but made for the IPAD2.
http://www.zagg.com/accessories/zaggfolio-ipad-2-keyboard-case
I did some searching and was able to then find the Kensington folio for universal 10 inch tablets. I went into best buy sadly the top part of the Sony tablet S is too thick for the holders and this case does not work either.
http://www.kensington.com/kensingto...niversal-bt-keyboard-case-for-10-tablets.aspx
Does anyone know any cases like this for the Sony tablet, Or know of a good combination of a Case and keyboard? (I don’t want to have to take my cradle every place I go and I would love a case that holds everything and is still easy to carry in my hand)
Here an Amazon.com link
Hi,
I bought a Moko case (really nice, only gripe it blocks the IR signals, so have t take case off when using the remote feature).
Here's a link with some other accessories you may like:

I didn't like that case and returned it to Amazon, I felt where the sides and top come together the stitching made it stick out too much.

It looks like rooCASE Executive Portfolio (Black) Leather Case Cover might do what I need, but I don't know it it would fit a Bluetooth keyboard inside. Really want I want is a case to hold my Tablet and a keyboard (I found a keyboard that is about the size of a cell phone I could use) as well put my tablet on an angle.
Also looking for a case
Hey there,
I am very interested in finding a keyboard case, so I can use it to take notes at school.
My searching has got me nowhere but sad:
http://www.squidoo.com/best-cases-for-sony-tablet-s#module155742916
and
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2I0JKZ6UCw
But nowhere to buy the product from.
I'm looking for a bluetooth keyboard, any recommeded?
Try Amazon, or Ebay..
Could you show me the link?
Re: Good Bluetooth keyboard?
I've been using a Logitech Tablet Keyboard, also the Zagg Folio case works really well. Good thing to look for is one with a mechanical-type action [which both of these have, vice the bubble-style, which wears out quickly and is not accurate]; the decent ones [like the ones I just mentioned] pair easily, and will last for a while.

Hi
Has anyone come across a decent keyboard case or something similar that fits with the shield tablet, AND that has a touchpad /trackpad /trackball or similar control device built in??
NOTE. I know about the Zagg autofit 8 (but have to use a mouse next to it)
I've been using a logitech k410 , and though it's great, it's not always practical. Sometimes I really need a solution akin to the asus transformer series or something like the setup for the Microsoft surface tablets.
I travel a decent ammount and don't always have a flat surface that's big enough for both the tab and a keyboard
Any suggestions??
As mentioned it HAS to have a trackpad /trackball/ touchpad or similar ( even a lenovo/ ibm style nib would work)
cheers

Hey, did you settle on anyone? I need one also
I use this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/Official-So...488020?hash=item54081ec894:g:2-MAAMXQyY1TVQnf it works great for typing (or coding in my case) it has a nub on it that gets the job done as a mouse its not a case but fits all most anyware
@ coleburns
no I never found anything that would really fit all the requirements. Seen a few ebay BT keyboard + case folios , but they seemed both flimsy and thick as well as the three I've seen thus far required a flater surface due to a" backstand function" ( think of Microsoft surface works"). Still looking and hoping
Pissed of to no end due to the whole range of aftermaket solutions for Samsung and Ipad's
@ solbg
Thanks for the suggestion, haven't thought of that one. The problem is as I wrote I travel a decent amount and don't always have a flat surface that's big enough for both the tab and a keyboard. For example trains or metro or busses and even certain plains. I need something that is closer to a "laptop" setup like the Lenovo yoga or asus transformer series..
Thanks though....
The Zagg autofit 8 is the one that I am most satisfied with. Check it out.... Annnnnnddd I finished reading your original post. Disregard.
I know Cooper makes a folio style case with a touchpad keyboard built in. They run about $40-50 on Amazon.
