Wink 8.9 iLuv Executive Case w/BT Keyboard

iLuv Executive Case w/BT Keyboard.

I'm ordering one of these today and will update when I get it. You can remove the keyboard if you want and it seems like a fair price compared to the Samsung OEM keyboards.

Edit:
I guess it would help if I included a link, sorry. Here you go:

Let us know how it is. I keep hoping that Targus will make a version of their Versavu iPad2 Keyboard case for the Galaxy Tab 8.9. I know a couple people who have one for their iPad and it is a nice keyboard case.

I agree, please do let us know how it is once you receive it. I am contemplating purchasing it. Frankly, if I was being honest, one of the major factors of this case that is keeping me from getting it is the "iLuv" branding on the clip. I don't think this was a necessary move, but hey at least they made a case with a removable keyboard!

As for Targus' iPad version of the case, it looks extremely nice.

Alot more companies REALLY need to expand out and develop more Samsung 8.9 cases (there aren't that many options).

I will update if I ever receive it. I have to call Amazon customer service. I'm not sure why, I am being told it is on back order, even though if you look at the site today, it says they are in stock. This kind of stuff just completely aggravates me.

Hmm, on that note, I think I'll just stick with my original pick and go this route:
ViperTek Slim Folio Case for the Samsung Galaxy 8.9 and
Logitech Bluetooth Keyboard for Android 3.0+

I might look at that option as well. After arguing with Amazon for twenty minutes, I told them to cancel the order and refund my card. Makes no sense why my product is on back order when they still as of today show they are in stock from 6 different merchants.

How about this bluetooth case? Looks similar and cheaper cost wise?

Well in case anyone orders one of these let me save you the trouble.

The keyboard is excellent, but the case is sized for a 10" tablet. The pictures on the Amazon.com website are misleading because they show the case and the tablet being perfectly sized together, but now I'm quite sure they are pics of the 10.1 model. Basically it fits fine, but you end up with about 1" of empty space all around the 8.9 (yuck).

http://www.amazon.com/iLuv-Executive.../dp/B005JK62SU

They sell these things for the iPad, Galaxy 10.1 and a few others with just the pocket that the tablet slides into being custom to each model. So if you don't mind carrying around a 10" case with a really nice BT keyboard then you might like this one. Like I said the keys are really high quality and feel nice to touch type with. I'm sending it back for a refund.

BLK14 is 8.9" and BLK12 is for 10.1". Pretty sure the one in amazon is 8.9"?
