Slide Out Keyboard/Case?

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 ?

no they are not......they are born deaf......we say "froyo" and they here "yo yo".....dumb samsung....if they had their customers happy....galaxy s would have sold some 10 times more...

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.

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!

only thing I found was this, but it requires a minimum 200$ order

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.
The url: sites.google.com slash site slash galaxykeyboard

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.

WTB Several G Tabs

As the topic says, I'm looking to buy several used G-tabs. They must have no scratches and function perfectly. While I'd prefer they be restored to vanilla ROM, I don't insist on it. They must however have a working ROM and not be in a bricked state. Respond here with price, links to pictures of them etc. I can send money via paypal and they will be shipped to Southern California. Let me know.

I'm thinking of selling my Gtab. I'd be looking for $250 including the keyboard case. No scratches and minimal wear. Pictures below.

Good luck buddy!

The homescreen is just LauncherPro Plus at 10 x 10 rows and columns. I skinned the LauncherPro Gmail Widgets with a transparent theme from the market. The clock is Beautiful Widgets super clock with a transparent Honeycomb skin. I got the wallpaper off of a wallpaper site because I liked it. I'm using Multipicture Live Wallpaper to keep it clean though.
I love my gTab, but I'm really intrigued by the Asus Transform. Since it's now been announced for Tuesday, I need to convince my wife that I'm not just spending a bunch of money for no reason.

Are you in Vancouver ??? If not, what's shipping to Vancouver, BC??? How old is the tablet and is it in perfect working order??? I'm interested in picking up a 2nd G-Tab for my wife.

I'm in Toronto. Shipping is probably reasonable enough. I've had it since Christmas, but I keep my stuff well. It's always been in a case of some kind. I have applied the carbon fiber style rear protective sticker thing.

still interested in buying a gtab? i have one that im about to put on ebay if i dont get any buyers by tuesday.
buying either wifi galaxy tab or asus transformer on tues.
mint condition, no scratches, smoke free home.
-missing original box, but i sell many things so i package/ship perfectly.
-rooted running vegantab, can restore if you want.
-comes with black CLIP case ($60 value)
-can respond with several sites where i sell for feedback history checks.
-ebay completed listings going for $250-$270 used/open box. no lowballs but i wont go less that that range.
let me know if you are interested.

I have one available that I'm looking to sell. I picked it up last month as part of the Woot deal. It's in new condition, I have the box and all packing materials, currently running Vegan 5.1.1 but I'll put whatever you'd like on it.
I've probably used it for less than 10 hours. I have a Formula One carbon fiber skin on it (looks fantastic) and am looking to get $225 + actual shipping costs. Let me know.
Thanks,

BT S Pen feedback

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

I am wondering if this will work on a Samsung Tab 2?? I really like it and want it to compliment the Tab and the G2. Thanks for any feedback provided.

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.

[Q] Hardware Keyboard Outcome?

Hey guys
SGTs are getting cheaper each day and the new removable-tablet-screen-laptops are too expensive at the moment.
So I was thinking about buying a tablet and turn it into a netbook with a cheap ebay keyboard. I am sure I am not the only one with this idea as there are many ebay bids on tablet keyboards...but are there already users that can tell me if this is usable as a daily driver or is it just rubbish and money thrown out the window? Can you use the thing to write mails and docs or does it make life more complicated?
I already searched the forum and find little about this and I am not sure what to think about the youtube vids...
Would be glad to have a straight answer! Thank you!

it can be i mean i pretty much use my tab for school with the keyboard it feels like a net-book, but there are some fordable windows 8 tablets that are much better as use like a netbook. i would go with the gtab it can sorta get into a case looking feel i wil have to show you some pictures in a moment.

As you see from the first two pics the keyboard is starting to ware off in the 3rd it sits very nicely in it. I have troubles trying to take it off sometimes xD and the last its nice to have some room to charge it on the dock when your not using it.

Wireless keyboard?

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.
