First any recommendations for good cases that can go 360 or rotate, or are generally great. Also any Bluetooth keyboard that can be combined with previous good cases. I need one in Scandinavian format. Also a reliable seller for a 128GB microSD card. Basically EVERYTHING I could need with my new pro 12.2 that will be here on wed.
I cannot give you any recommendations for integrated keyboards. I'm using Logitech K810 which is about the same width as the tablet and has backlit keys, a long battery life and micro usb charging port. My tablet is in a KLD KA case, which serves as a stand in landscape mode. Part of the case protrudes from under the tablet and provides a perfect resting place for the keyboard.
I just throw the keyboard in my bag in a separate case. I don't need a physical keyboard at all times so I don't want to have it permanently attached to the tablet case. It would get in the way when I'm taking handwritten notes. I also use this keyboard with other devices since this particular model can be paired to three different devices at the same time and allows for instant switching between them.
If you'd be willing to go for a separate keyboard you could probably find a lot of cheaper alternatives in local stores. I've seen a nice one on display in the Phone House in Stockholm's Central Station and I imagine Media Markt would have several on display. I figure situation would be much the same in other Scandinavian countries.
On the software side I'd recommend External Keyboard Helper to use with whichever hardware keyboard you'll end up choosing. You can select any language you want, including Scandinavian languages, of course, and it prevents the onscreen keyboard from poping up while your bluetooth keyboard is in use. It can detect it automatically and switch from other keyboards as soon as you connect.

Also, I quite like the case I mentioned because it's very slim and well made, but it does not rotate or act as a stand in portrait mode. It also stinks very strongly of glue. The smell is only beginning to wear off after two weeks. I ordered the black one but it's really more of a very dark brown and the inside is a light tan colour. It arrived from China in one week though and it only cost 13 euros.

annoying for this is exactly what i'd like!
Would this not work with the Vega in Host Mode?
I got one of these for my Advent Vega from Amazon for £16.99 delivered. It's OK. Regarding the comments made earlier:-
Problems:
"--Pin chassis, right, blocks the usb and HMDI, (with scissors and cut it to plug the usb). For there is no solution HMDI."
I guess u can cut the lug off but I didnt. Instead I bent back the right hand lug (which is designed to secure the tablet in the case) and put a little velcro on the back of the unit and the case to keep the Vega in place.
"--The keyboard does not work (The solution is to plug a hub)"
My keyboard works fine, although it took me some time to figure out why it didnt work from the off. Being a newbie to android, I didn't understand the usb host / slave stuff and there may have been another complication. I had to check the modaco forum to figure out what to do.
"Advantages:
--10$"
Damn. I paid nearly double that!
"at the end he finished in a forgotten drawer."
I like the case and use it now and then. However I primarily wanted the keyboard for use when travelling to enable me to edit word documents and the like (i.e using the Vega as a laptop/netbook substitute) which is when this particular case comes in handy. Mostly I use my Vega in pure tablet form so I normally keep it in a regular 10" protective sleeve.

Absolutely. There’s a desktop stand for charging and syncing with 2 USB ports and a 13.5mm audio out jack.
MSRP: $69.99

As yet there's no official dock, other than the keyboard one. And i doubt very much this other one that site mentions has a 13.5mm jack connection. However I'm sure in a few months some Chinese company will pump out docks on eBay, if Asus haven't by then.
There's an official "case". Looks like the original iPad case.
Lets you fold the cover several ways to tilt/display the Transformer

I might be interested in something like this even though I ordered the KB dock.
$70 seems a bit expensive for just a dock though. Was hoping it's be more than the $50 area.
I think he's talking about the desktop dock found here:

I think it is a really shotty photoshop job, the angles dont line up right with the transformer and dock
I am going to wait until i see it in person
I hope the dock is just simple, power and usb, but I doubt it, I bet it has audio jack and an hdmi jack too... that's why it's so expensive.
This is something I'll buy in 6 months to a year when I can grab it on eBay or something for the $40-$50 range.
I think if I was going to spend $70 for a dock, I'd just go all out and get the keyboard dock. Then you have portable power, you can change the viewing angle, and you'd get the keyboard as a bonus.
Like others have said....I'll wait for the 3rd party cheapies on ebay.
I just got a X+, but I don't feel there are docks design for it. Is it because is too new or because other docks different devices are compatible...
Can we have a list of the docks you are using for you X+ and a small comment of what you like and don't?...
I am considering on getting:

I have the official HTC one x (not x+) car dock. The one x+ fits perfectly.
Seems X and X+ can share the same docks as long the are not tight fitment like Proclip USA.
I just ordered the same car dock and will buy two different dock more. I will update next weekend when I have them.

Kidigi with removable insert that the phone fits even with a case.
Only disadvantage is that the stock ROM doesn't turn the homescreen 90 degrees
That would be my only reason right now to root and load a custom ROM because the AT&T ROM is by far not bad, error free, fast, battery friendly.
You can download the mod for landscape Rosie by itself and keep the stock rom. That's what I did when I realized there wasn't a "dock mode" within the phone

All these docks are ridiculously expensive
I brought this one http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/desktop-charge-cradle-with-hdmi-out-for-htc-one-x-p35406.htm works great and has hdmi as a bonus :silly:
I use i-bolt, it comes with insert so you can you use it with or without case and does turn home screen 90 degrees when attached on stock rom.
Hello,
I want to buy a keyboard for my Note Pro 12.2.
The Logitech Pro keyboard looks very nice but it is very expensive here in the UK, £110.
I also found a much less expensive keyboard for £30.
Did anyone buy the Logitech keyboard? Is it worth the price? Or should I go with the much cheaper one?
Here are the links of both:

I bought a generic chinese apple bluetooth keyboard knockoffand i can say it works like a charm. Comes to about 15$ in stores, and is sold under various brands...
Here's a picture, you can find it on ebay and other online retailers. The good thing about this keyboard is that it's the same width as the tablet.

So I can definately recommend this as a cheap alternative.
Expensive but the best there is.
Hi NeoXx
I bought my Note Pro 2 weeks ago from the UK and I also did some research like you for a good cover case for my SGNP.
I must say that I still haven't bought the keyboard cover that I want...Yet (I am saving for the Logitech one), So the Logitech recommendation is only based on my own research.
I am sorry to say that although the Logitech Pro is really expensive, i wouldn't compromise for any other keyboard case there is right now on the market.
For me, the generic bluetooth keyboard is absolutely not an option cause if I already put my money on product that I will want to use on a daily basis, I wouldn't waste it on a keyboard that isn't has the ability to be also the case for my tablet. It just doesn't look good and it isn't comfortable.
So what I did, for now, until I will buy the Logitech keyboard is to buy a simple (not that simple) cover that I highly recommend: The i-Blason Protective Cover.
It's a crazy strong hard cover which gives more weight to to the lite tablet and that gives you a better grip on it.
I can tell you that the material of this cover is very high quality so it looks great, very strong and also has some sort of shock absorbance. Plus, it has a good stand.
So, I thought maybe that could help cause it seems like we'er in the same situation (waiting for a good opportunity to buy the Logitech cover).
I hope you'll get a good buy
regards
Ray
You can grab one here
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00TDHEFNY?utm_source=amazon&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=charger
I am reviewing the following device in return for the usage and review of the said item here in XDA. I am not employed or affiliated with them, they were kind enough to seek my opinion on this product.
While not an accessory specific to Nexus 6, I figured I'd add this here because the N6 does have Quick Charging and wanted to let people know my experience with the item.
And honestly, I was looking for one of these desktop chargers for home. I previously bought one when I go on trips to power my various devices, but was looking to upgrade due to me and my wife's phone now equipped with Quick Charge 2.0.
Upon receiving it, The packaging was really nice. Minimal and not too much. Just enough to protect the contents and not hard to unpack at all. Inside housed the desktop charger, the plug, instructions, and other literature as seen in the pics.
The look is a nice textured matte finish and you can grip it pretty well. It has a good weight to it so it won't fly off your desk if you push papers towards it. You can orient it any way you would like to use it, but my preference for this charger is flat with the print facing up. I found that this way, it won't flop over, even though it has some heft to it, you can accidentally knock it over.
There is a power LED when you plug it into the wall. Not bright, just a nice dim blue led to let you know it's on. IMO a nice touch. Next I plugged in both mine and my wife's phone. (Nexus 6 and HTC M8 respectively). And both charged up pretty quickly! I then tested out the remaining three ports (the non-quick charge ones) and all worked as it should. Also I have to note that all the USB ports were easy to plug in and remove with different usb cords.
So is there really any negatives here? Not that I can see. This is a great product for the price listed on Amazon (17 USD prior to shipping if not a prime member).
Maybe offer different colors? With different color LEDs? Just throwing some quick things off the top of my head. But otherwise it's a great product to use.
Would I recommend this? Yes! Because multiple devices that have Quick Charge, we needed this for the times we need to quickly charge up before heading out to of the house and not really worry about carrying external batteries.
Any questions feel free to ask! Pics
