Default Looking for a keyboard case.

Hey,

I'm looking for a keyboard case which suits the A700. Because the USB is on the bottom, I'm guessing it's a bit harder to find (or it has to work with Bluetooth, which is also fine).
I want to be sure the keyboard doesn't touch(damage over time) the screen and that the front camera can still be used. I don't mind the back camera being covered.
I also think it's conveniënt to place it on my lap or a table, so I want it to be able to stand up (rather not have a kickstand which can collapse, but work with velcro for example).
My eye crossed the Kensington Keyfolio Pro 2, but it's a little expansive and I'm not quite sure about the magnets.

Any thoughts?

I wasn't able to find anyfor A700, so I got a regular leather case and one of these mini bluetooth keyboard/touchpad devices made by Rii - specifically I got the "DBTech Mini Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard" and it actually works pretty well and nice and light/portable and fits in pockets. Not exactly what you were looking for, but it is inexpensive - got mine for $25.xx from amazon.

Thank you for your reply. The keys on that keyboard look really small. Are you able to close the cover with the keyboard in it?

Logitech K260 wireless keyboard + mouse from Costco works fine.

Sorry - missed the question - just noticed it now. The keyboard I keep separately in my backpack. Getting used to non-physical at this point, so may end up using it with PS3 or some other use. (Moved from Epic 4G w/ physical keyboard to Galaxy S III now and getting used to non-physical keyboards at this point).

I use the Logitech tablet keyboard. I was able to find it on Logitech's site. Go on Logitech's site and search for Logitech Tablet keyboard for Win8/RT and Android. It costs $79.99. I have used it for 4 months now and I like it. It has a stand, keyboard and case all in one. I don't use the case I just place the keyboard in the case. Hope this helps.
