Hi all,
Anyone happen to know of a keyboard case for note pro 12.2 that is hinged so that it is adjustable like a laptop? Rather than viewing angle slots or kickstand? I'd be eternally grateful
Probably not as it would be difficult to design so that you could use it in portrait mode.
That would require a massively heavy keyboard and a serious heavy-duty set of hinges....
Which means you'd end up with the bulk of a laptop. Doubt anyone made that.

does anyone know of a capacitance stylus like the one found on the ibm thinkpad?
i prefer this one more than using a fat round ball tip one like the ones found at bestbuy and on pogo stylus'.
and before anyone points out the obvious - this stylus is not capacitance; it is wacoms proprietary technology. the ibm thinkpad uses both capacitance and wacom as it's touch driver.
Im also interested in this one
Maybe the oStylus?
I have a big rubber tipped stylus and a ten one spongy tipped stylus, and I'm not happy with either. I would like to try the ostylus. Engadget said the biggest flaw is you have to be pretty accurate with the 'o', but if you drawing or something, it may be better than a sponge.

If anyone has one, I'd love to hear what you thought of it on a tablet.
As for trying to get a more pen like one, the wacom one is not the best, but it may be the best compromise. I suppose the hardest part is to get the amount of capacitance needed within the rubber or close enough to the screen for it to work.

I hear for the iPad and Android tablets this is the best.

Anyone has tried it on a Touchpad? I'm really interested in using one to take notes in class.
I've got the Bestbuy Rocketfish spongy ball stylus. It works a little better than your fingers, but not much. I'd love to find something more precise. The website says it works on all touch screens, so don't see why it would not work on a TP.
i heard you can make a stylus by putting some thermally conductive glue on the end of a stylus, like the glue used as a heatsync gel thing on cpu's and the such. I think you can get the heatsync at radioshack.
I found this one to be decent.

it works well with some of the Android apps.unfortunately there is not much on the TP side.
I'm on my way to getting a Xoom and I was wondering if it were possible to use my Wacom Intuos pen with a soft tip + screen protector for drawing/writing on my Xoom. I'm a photoshop buff and an aspiring graphic artist and this would make life so much easier. The other pens I've seen for the Xoom are chunky and far from precise and I figured if I already had something that would work, why not save the money?
Try Adonit Jot/JotPro. Very much more precise.
Just got my Mate 7 from Amazon and am test driving it. Very impressed with the packaging, the screen is beautiful, and I've already fallen in love with the fingerprint scanner. And Swype, my favorite keyboard, is loaded by default.
But...
I'm finding it uncomfortable to hold with one hand. I don't have small hands, and they're not oven mitts either. Just average. I've had other large phones (Find 7a, 1+1, Lumia 1520), so it's not the size. It's the edges, I guess. I suppose a case would help, but that would just make the phone seem even larger.
I have a 30 day return window to see if I can live with it, but was just wondering if anyone else had this initial impression and got used to it somehow.
those type of smartphone aren't easy to use with only one hand. keep in mind to use it with tow hand it's mutch more confortable. in fact for my side i use it with the huawei folio case and i hold it with my left hand like a open book and i touch the screen with the other hand.
That's how I do it also, with two hands. But after a bit, the edges really become noticeable, given that sides are flat. Does the folio case add a lot of size & weight?
I ordered ultra thin transparent silicon case for Mate 7, it is just milimeter thick, and cost about 2$. Now it is much more comfortable to use the phone, you have much beter grip to use it with one hand, and the size of the phone is almost the same.
Took one week for me to get used to the size.

the huawei official folio case is very good and it's very good quality. it don't add to mutch size & weight. it also give a very good protection of the "precious"
other fonction of the official folio is the "intelligent windows" of the cover who automaticaly adapte the display throught the windows. and you can use the touch fonction throught it too.
the cover also have a magnetic close fonction , so it can't open if you drop "the baby"
Been using this for a day now, aesome and very stylish.
Best part it doubles as a case, also has the android key functions on the keyboard.
Keyboard takes a little adjusting to a small but very good quality.
Was originally £80 but got it for £50 from Samsung online.

Love mine too in the titanium bronze that matches my Best Buy 32gb Tab S. Great combo. Had 3 iPads and like this as much or better.

I got a Bluetooth keyboard too. Pure white, low-profile, and quiet typing, I think it just got all great things a keyboard should. If it is paper-thin, paper-light, then I'm in heaven!
Got mine in Titanium bronze too, love it. Can't go without it anymore.
Can you please advise if the keyboard and tablet can connect together with the tablet screen facing up rather than the screen facing down onto Keys?
Or is it possible to use a hard case on the table with the keyboard?

It cannot close that way because the recessed part that the tablet hooks into is expecting a curve instead of the straight edge of the tablet face.
No...there is no way a case would work with this. It is very snug.
My observations are the case could use a couple of magnets to keep the tablet in the slot.
And I don't like that the keys are cupped, flat keys would allow more strike tolerance...
Otherwise it's a great case and definitely protect the device well...
PS... I agree with the question that it would be nice if the tablet snapped in facing up so make the case and tablet one piece when holding...
I swapped back to the book case but purely as I wasn't typing as much.
The case combo is so cool though.
Battery life lasts ages for me but I'm and infrequent user.

Do you think one can DIY? I think it can be done by using double-sided tape and a few strip of magnets. Tape a strip on the slot and one the bottom back side of the tablet. How about velcro tape? Something similar to iPad's smart cover.

The problem is it raises the tablet and makes it unstable. The magnet needs to be inside the case/keyboard to work right.
As it is it works fine on a flat surface like a table, the problem is using it on your lap or other places where tablets replace laptops...
I've all but stopped trying to type on the keyboard, the cupping on the keys makes it next to impossible to get used to... I got the Logitech keyboard to type on and just use this one as a hard shell case...
Does the keyboard work like a usb keyboard or you can only use it as bluetooth?

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.
