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.
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.
GearHead Mini-USB Keyboard
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 don't believe anyone's confirmed this but will the official Asus leather sleeve/case work for the tablet + dock? (I'd post the link but it won't let me at the moment)
I asked Asus directly and they claim that it doesn't work according to the "product manager" but I am skeptical because it is listed as an official paired product with the Asus Transformer on the Amazon page.
Thanks in advance!

Well for one I dont think the sleeve is leather, I dont think it can be used with the dock either. It's just for when you have it undocked
Someone posted pics of one they had got in their boxed bundle (lucky sod, i didnt get one ). It showed that there was only one opening, and that was a speaker side of the case poking out. So, no it won't work with the dock.
There are cutouts for:
Rear Camera
Left side volume up/down and power
Right side Headphone, microphone, hdmi
There are also holes over the speaker area on both sides.
the USB proprietary plug is the only thing exposed on the bottom of the unit. The keyboard dock latches are not exposed.
hey guys I think you guys are confusing my post with the regular Asus Sleeve.
If you look on the Asus Transformer page on Amazon it shows you some suggested accessories.
One of them is:
ASUS INDEX 10-Inch Netbook Sleeve - Black
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002RL8UAM
are you talkibg about that? i dont think that designed specifically for the tf. i think amazon is simply making that reccomendation...since when docked a tranformer probably has the same formfacotr as regular asus netbooks

Yeah that's the one. Okay so as I thought. Probably not worth trying then as the Asus rep said it won't fit.
Anyone know of any attachable wireless keyboard covers, kind of like the Nexus 9 Keyboard Folio?
I think the Zagg Folio 8 works but covers the power button and stylus.

There is another thread on here if you were to use the search feature where I asked the same thing a couple months ago. I'm using the mentioned Zagg Auto-fit 8" and think its a good option. It would be nicer to have something that attaches to the magnetic hinge, but meh, its working well enough.
Has anybody used a bluetooth keyboard instead of the overly expensive keyboard cover? If so which one and how was the experience? I read in an older thread where the Logictech keyboard for the tab S2 didn't work - but I don't understand why it wouldn't
Yes, just fine!
I see this is an old post, so this may be too late. I purchased a Fintie cover with keyboard for my S3. The keyboard attaches to the cover with magnets, so you don't need to have the keyboard attached if you're not using it. It connected easily, and it works very well. This has enabled me to leave my laptop at home when I travel.
