Case with Keyboard??

---

Sorry if this has all ready been talked about, but is there a case with a built in keyboard? I am planning on using this for school while tethering from my droid

if there is not a case with a built in keyboard what is your best suggestions for screen protectors or hard cases?

I was just thinking the same thing, I see alot of cheap ones on ebay, but the dimensions are set to to fit an ipad(7.5"x9.8"), but the gtab is 6.8"x10.5", I dont want part of the screen cut off, or part of the tablet hanging out of the case.

Hey, I found a nice keyboard, case/stand combo on amazon, heres the link:

It's a wired keyboard, but that's fine with me, keeps me from having to worry about recharging my keyboard battery on top of the tablet battery.

If you look at the posts that were here already in the Accessories forum, you will see that this is actually a fairly hot topic and there are several options available.

I got one of these and its perfect

Similar Question as OP/ slightly different.

I need some opinions guys from those who have the keyboard cases and those who have just a standard case which angles.

Can you use the usb keyboard case comfortably with the keyboard folded all the way under the tablet?
( meaning if i just want to hold the device with 1 or 2 hands while watching tv is it comfortable?)

How often do those with the keyboard actually find themselves using the keyboard?

Is the virtual keyboard just as accurate with auto spell correct?


Question #2
Also is it worth buying a screen protector if your using a case? Its not like the device will be placed in my pocket and get scratched with my keys.... thats the only reason I buy screen protectors for my epic 4g.

I say pass on this case

1.) The case feels bulky in your hand if you fold it back to read something on the tablet while holding it especially with one hand. I found it really uncomfortable to leave it in the case for use when not typing on the keyboard.
2.) I used it often when I first bought the case then got another keyboard and case as this case really looks and feels cheap and I work with professionals so it really stuck out like a sore thumb in meetings.
3.) The "virtual keyboard" if you mean the keyboard that comes up on your tablet then I would say your question doesn't apply since the case keyboard doesn't make any spelling corrections (at least mine didn't) whereas the virtual keyboard(s) do offer corrections and suggestions for word completion.

Your question #2 which is really question 4.) If you want to use this case with keyboard then I would strongly recommend getting a screen protector as this keyboard isn't soft silicone but rather it's hard plastic. And since the gTab won't be snug in this case but will move quite a bit around the screen can get some rubbing damage if you keep it in the case a lot. Some people have suggested you use a soft rag and lay it on top of the keyboard when you close the case and also to use velcro or double-stick tape to secure the gTab to the case better.

In the end, I would just recommend you NOT buy this case since I just sold mine off on eBay. For the price it's not bad but once you start using it you will quickly find things to complain about it.

Fellow user it2Steve here on the gTab forums have several nice cases and soon one with a built-in bluetooth keyboard available for sale. Check out his threads and read his reviews. Hopefully you find what you're looking for.

I have one too, quick fix is I had a usb mouse pad firm with lights and many usb plugs and I sit the case on that which is a nice flat surface and plug the mouse pad into that. I am using it now to type.

I have a similar one, but in the end I found that I didn't really an exterior keyboard as much as I thought I did.
