I am looking for a keyboard case that plugs in to my galaxy tab. I am aware of the multitude of Bluetooth keyboard cases, but I would rather preserve my battery. I am also aware of the keyboard docks that allow you to physically connect, but those don't let you adjust the screen angle or fold it up and take it with you. I want an actual keyboard case that does not use Bluetooth. Does such a product exist?
Nope. I have looked. I just ended up buying the expensive factory Bluetooth case/keyboard.

Thanks. I don't think I would believe it if I hadn't looked as well. Seems a bit crazy.
No problem.

I, too, have looked everywhere, to no avail. It's a shame no one developed such a keyboard for our Tabs.
In Brazil is worse

I dont find case, bag, doc and walk to mutch to find a usb adaptor.
When i find some cool case its too mutch expensive, the same for doc and bags.
The original samsung its too exensive which inhibits the purchase.
Sorry my poor english.
I saw some usb keyboards in the shopping.
I'm from Brazil, so I dont know if the are available on your country

I just saw this for the iphone 4 and wonder if the sgs had anything similar? i would kill for such a thing (and I do not want Sprint, so no Epic 4g).

It's pretty much an elegant bluetooth keyboard built into a case.
Seen it too
Would love to have the same for the SGS with enhanced battery included !
Doesn't the Galaxy S have problem with bluetooth keyboards?
This would be amazing!
The only thing missing on my SGS, manufacture's are you listening ?

actually not likely. Many custommers (like me) don't like the "thinkness" added with a flip keyboard.
Anyway, the Galaxy S Pro will most likely have a flip KB, this will cover this area of the market.
you could just get a bluetooth keyboard for around 20 dollars, and then i guess tape it on or something....
i have a mini bluetooth keyboard.
no problems having it work. but i just don't need a physical keyboard right now.
would be a lot cheaper too.
i really would like this...
That would be beyond awesome. But I have my doubts that it will happen... Still, it might even be possible to attach it via USB to the Galaxy S, which would be even more awesome.
There are several out there you could easily make your own flip case and use one of them.
http://www.alibaba.com/showroom/portable-usb-bluetooth-keyboard.html
One way to do it i guess is get a flip case and sticking the mini keyboard on it.
I am actually get one and i'll see how it works out ( the keyboard not the flip case.... yet . )
Next Galaxy S

It seems that the next Galaxy S i9000 or maybe a i10,000 any way, will have 8mp camera, flash, and a slide out keyboard! "nice to have a bigger screen, 5 incher!

Nice case Thanks..
There are something similar, a phone case with bluetooth keyboard slot.
I think some people still like the feeling of pressing on a real buttons more.
I mounted a slide out qwerty keyboard to my Galaxy S. There are few photos, but the forum engine does not allow me to post a link directly.

Hey fenyvessy, that was brilliant, thanks!
I'm getting one too. Although I've ordered one of these cheap cases too, so to make it easily removable.
Does anybody have it yet? Could you please leave your comments and first impressions here if you do?...
The pen works very well on the note 10.1. It feels more natural than the s pen. I actually Bluetooth it to my galaxy note 5.3. Sound quality is excellent and the people I talk to can hear me very clearly. All in all a great device. Can you live without it? Absolutely, but it's fun to have.
Thanks for the feedback.
1. Does this pen allow pairing with more than one device at the same time?
2. Does it house the 10.1 stylus inside, like the holder for the original N7000 Note did?

No. As far as I can see it only pairs with 1 device. Can't read Chinese instructions though. It doesn't house the stylus. It's a separate stylus. Comes with its own bag of plastic nibs.
Anyone else got this? Could you please leave your feedback? Thanks.
I've ordered it off of ebay, but not received yet. am anxious to read others reviews as well.
The BT s-pen has the same function as the normal s-pen. And it is a bluetooth headset with vibrition for incomming calls. When you press the phone button S-voice opens. Say "call Annie" and Annie will be called. Great !
Where to order one

Got mine off Ebay from Korea directly... No english instructions but then its not too hard to work out...
Charge until led turns blue, start bluetooth on Phone/Tablet, search bluetooth.
On pen, hold dial button for 3 - 10 seconds, tablet will pick up, Can't remember if I needed to enter pair code but "0000" usually works....

I finally got my hands one one of these yesterday - awesome. I also got English instructions with mine
1. Yes it supports two devices at the same time (Multi-Point) I have mine paired with my Note 10.1 & my Note 2
2. Yes it holds an s-pen inside - there's some instructions for re-assembling it and a picture. I don't know if it's the full s-pen inside though and I'm not going to take it apart just to find out.
It's got the proper feel of a pen and is much nicer to write with than built in one. Works great with s-voice as well and sound quality is good.
My poor s-pen always stays in it's slot now.
Also one proud owner here Got mine for about 30 usd. Really like to use it over the standard Spen. And what is more cool than talk to your pen, haha.

From this shop I doubt... in fact they don't have fixed prices and you can bargain. I have years of experience on this in China so not easy to fool. But I didn't find this pen in China and there I think no chance to bargain for such original products, at least not much. So I was suprise to find it here and be able to set a good price. I also bought the original flip cover. Or it just could be that they try to ripoff all the white faces they see

Update, there's 2 on Ebay.com right now. I think only 1 is under $75 AND a US seller. When I search I only want US sellers. Hope this helps. You can set up 'saved searches' and even 'notifier' when the item matches your wish.

Hello
I've recently extended by contract with Tmobile and chose Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE-A as my new phone. For the last year or so I've been using a Droid 4 bought off a friend, it was my first smartphone ever and I don't want to give up having a physical keyboard. I've seen lots of talk about the black or white slider keyboard case, but nothing about the silver one I would link to if not for this forum's rules. They are available on ebay, circa 20 AUS and have a shiny silver finish and flat keys partially separated with indentations.
Has anyone tried it? Are the keys touch-only, or do they actually depress a bit? I'm interested in it, since it uses much more of the available surface estate than the aforementioned models.

I'm learning Java and python for fun right now and have been steadily trying to find more ways to code on my phone instead of on the computer. However, the onscreen keyboard for the s4 takes up top much space, so I'm in need of a physical keyboard. I'd like most to find something that holds the phone onto the keyboard but everything I see on Amazon looks super cheap. Thoughts?
this is the one I use from Logitech. I use it on my Win7 PC, GS4, and iPad. Has bluetooth buttons to swap between everything.

Microsoft Wedge keyboard has something like this:

Normally it is cover for keyboard, when you take it off it could be holder. For me, in horizontal view I have to put something under this cover, so it would be little higher (it is ideal for tablets, not for smartphones). In vertical it is ideal for smartphone too.

That is a nice looking keyboard but for me I prefer having the keyboard in a case. I have a tablet bluetooth keyboard but it is a pain to use because it is not attached to the tablet. Also makes it a pain when travelling. Having it all in one is a major benefit to me. I would imagine it won't be too long before other keyboard cases come out.

It adds more bulk to the tablet. This comes with a carrying pouch if you have a backpack to put it in.

Wow that's either a very useless post or a shameful plug for some random website. Either way ill assume they don't carry the specific keyboard folio the op is looking for, and not go to that site ever.
