I was wondering if anyone has been able to use another keyboard besides the official asus keyboard for the tf700 in one of those cases that are designed for the tablet and keyboard? I like the official keyboard but I have come across some really nice bluetooth keyboards that were ultra thin and backlit.....any thoughts?

Hey,
I'm looking for a keyboard case which suits the A700. Because the USB is on the bottom, I'm guessing it's a bit harder to find (or it has to work with Bluetooth, which is also fine).
I want to be sure the keyboard doesn't touch(damage over time) the screen and that the front camera can still be used. I don't mind the back camera being covered.
I also think it's conveniënt to place it on my lap or a table, so I want it to be able to stand up (rather not have a kickstand which can collapse, but work with velcro for example).
My eye crossed the Kensington Keyfolio Pro 2, but it's a little expansive and I'm not quite sure about the magnets.
Any thoughts?
I wasn't able to find anyfor A700, so I got a regular leather case and one of these mini bluetooth keyboard/touchpad devices made by Rii - specifically I got the "DBTech Mini Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard" and it actually works pretty well and nice and light/portable and fits in pockets. Not exactly what you were looking for, but it is inexpensive - got mine for $25.xx from amazon.

Thank you for your reply. The keys on that keyboard look really small. Are you able to close the cover with the keyboard in it?
Logitech K260 wireless keyboard + mouse from Costco works fine.
Sorry - missed the question - just noticed it now. The keyboard I keep separately in my backpack. Getting used to non-physical at this point, so may end up using it with PS3 or some other use. (Moved from Epic 4G w/ physical keyboard to Galaxy S III now and getting used to non-physical keyboards at this point).
I use the Logitech tablet keyboard. I was able to find it on Logitech's site. Go on Logitech's site and search for Logitech Tablet keyboard for Win8/RT and Android. It costs $79.99. I have used it for 4 months now and I like it. It has a stand, keyboard and case all in one. I don't use the case I just place the keyboard in the case. Hope this helps.
Hi, it appears that the magnetic bluetooth keyboard case I got for my Gnote 10.1 is messing up my compass. I don't know if the damage is permanent. Is anyone aware of any leather-type (doesn't have to be real leather) bluetooth keyboard cases that do not have magnets holding the keyboard in place?
The case I currently have the the kensington keyfolio with removable keyboard (a generic case made for 10" tablets)
As it seems, the keyboard case price is slightly if not very expensive, and glancing through several market Bluetooth keyboard case, I can't help but to think to acquire that over simply a dock then purchasing another case which is a lot of money. I have had difficulty finding a case that covers the edges of the tablet with bluetooth keyboard. Can any one of you suggest me one?

I'm not sure I follow.
By keyboard case, do you mean the keyboard dock? Or a case for the keyboard dock? Because the reason that the keyboard dock is more expensive is because it includes an additional full battery, usb port and full integration.
By Bluetooth keyboard case, do you mean a dock? Of a cover that includes a keyboard?
Of a cover that also includes a keyboard

Hmm... I don't believe there is one on the market that includes a keyboard and case all in one... and if you do fine one it definitely would be some kind of universal fit solution. Usually such cases use a universal bluetooth keyboard glued into a synthetic leather folio. It definitely would not "enhance" the transformer experience.
But I guess if you are looking for a keyboard that can be detached and used from further away than the option keyboard dock available that could work!
We have the Perfecto Pro that you can use the tablet and keyboard at once, and fold both the tablet and keyboard at once into the case. You can see them here: http://www.caseen.com/Transformer-Pad-Infinity-TF700-TF700T_c_49.html
But that may not be the solution you are looking for. I'm interested to see your response. So let me know!
I've actually decided to just purchase a Bluetooth keyboard with a touchpad which peaked my interest with a swiveling stand case typically seen on iPads for this tablet, I didn't see any tablet case with this nice of a keyboard attatched to it, so I may just have two separate entities

I've also found out that you could use USB universal leather keyboard case which then can be used with either attaching a Bluetooth dongle female making the keyboard discoverable or simply buying a female USB with Asus input plug in which would allow for me to use the keyboard, but as I previously stated, the touch interface built in the keyboard peaked my interest more than what the dock itself was capable.

Just in case it matters to anyone, I recently got the poetic case designed for tablet + keyboard dock. Its nice and all, but even if you don't use the elastic straps on the hing corners of the keyboard (they aren't necessary to hold it in, but keep it in place better), the case material that sits between the tablet and keyboard seems to thick. You real.y have to force the tablet into the dock, and once its in it seems like the puts a lot of strain on the hinge and bottom edge of tablet. It even seemed as if the bottom corners of the tablet where the hinges are were forced away from the keyboard, and there was a gap on either end of the notch thing you clip it into.
I extensively compared the reviews of all the tablet+dock cases on amazon before going with the poetic. The bad reviews of the other best choice were all talking about blocked ports and strain on the hinges. Most of the bad reviews for the poetic were from morons who were pissed it didn't come with the dock (like, really? They honestly thought a 250$ dock was included in a 17$ case? wtf. I cant believe reviews like that are tolerated.) I can also be pretty ocd when it comes to expensive electronics, but the tf700 is aging and I'm looking into getting an upgrade, otherwise I would be pissed.
My recommendation to anyone who has the dock connected a majority of the time and wants protection, would be to go with one of those protective skins, and find a padded zipper pouch to put it in while not in use. The cases that are supposedly made for the tablet + dock just seems like the best they could do with what they were given. The tf700 was never designed to fit in a case like that while connected to the dock, unfortunately.
Just got delivery of my folio keyboard last night for the Pixel. Since ordering it, I began to seriously doubt by decision to pick this over the metal keyboard, but I must say I'm happy with my decision now. The leather feels great and is easy to grip, I love how the tablet itself magnetically docks to the folio, and I also love how you can simply flip the keyboard back and the Pixel disconnects, saving both battery and frustration from erroneous keystrokes since the keyboard is facing outward when flipped around. The tablet only connects via Bluetooth when the edge of the tablet is actually touching (and magnetically bound to) the keyboard in desktop mode. As soon as you break that magnetic connection, Bluetooth shuts down. It's a elegant solution to what might otherwise be a deal breaking problem. I especially love that it protects the back of the tablet, while also allowing me to very easily separate the Pixel from the case entirely with a simple tug.
I'm personally loving the Android N experience so far. Yes, a few apps don't play well with the OS at the moment, such as HBO GO, but I can live with that.
Is it the ultimate productivity tool? Not even close, but as far as a tablet experience goes, I'm loving it.
I am looking for a flip case that would also be usable with the Pogo charging dock station:
https://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/m...axy-tab-s4-charging-dock-pogo-ee-d3100tbeguj/
As you can read from the dock reviews, it is not usable with the official Tab a cover which makes the dock kind a useless.
Atm I am using some random chinese cover with Tab A and it does not work either with the dock. The slit in the dock is so slim that the cover should be super slim when folded or something like that.
If anyone knows a cover that one doesn't need to be strip off the tab before entering the dock, pls let me know.
Every now and then I check what aliexpress has to offer but so far none of the cases seem to be compatible with a Pogo dock. Please post here if you find one.
Have the same tab with dock. So far no luck on finding a compatible case.
