Seriously? They refer to it as the "Google LG Nexus 10", I wouldn't order anything from anyone making something for a piece of hardware that they don't even know who made.

I can understand the skepticism. FWIW MiniSuit made a similar universal BT keyboard that I love. Part of the top opens up to form a stand that nearly any tablet can rest in. I am so pleased with the feel of the keys when typing that I preordered the version for the N10, but my only reservation is that the N10 may need to be naked to fit into the slot. I usually keep the N10 in one of several thin cases which work with the universal keyboard.

I have a feeling that Samsung purposely does not support the Nexus devices so you are more likely to buy their own Galaxy Line. Well in the video the Nexus 7 dock looks exactly like the one that was released, so the Nexus 10 dock is probably already floating around as a prototype but I doubt it will come out anytime soon.

I know for me I'm perfectly fine waiting a but for the official dock instead of going with that POGO cable, I dont see the use in a POGO cable without a dock. I hope they release the dock and smart case together

I love my pogo cable. It saves wear and tear on the USB and pops out easily when you go to pick the tablet up.

Agree. But I also wanted a dock so I can use it as my alarm clock. Need a replacement for my soon-to-be-obsolete Chumby.

so did you just take it apart and use the pogo in place of the thrive connector? were you able to keep any of the functionality on the dock ports on the back?

Yeah basically. The hole for the Thrive connector was not as large so I had to open it up a bit to fit the pogo. Also had to trim the pogo cable housing as it was too large - just cut away the bottom half of the plastic housing. In terms of the ports on the back, I unsoldered any of the old connections from one of the usb plugs and soldered the wires from the pogo cable. Then just use a male to male usb cable to plug it in. The other ports are dead, but maybe once the pinout of the pogo is better known we can start using those.

I can provide step by step instructions if anyone is interested.

CQ, CQ, Google - are you listening?

Good Job CB! Looks very nice!

If Google doesn't get the message, more of these unique solutions will begin cropping up.

In my situation, I just sit the tablet upside down, and have the pogo cable going from the top. Still works nicely with my generic tablet stand (it's some folding thing for iPad).

So I just got a new HP windows tablet that is 10" and it has a very nice docking/charging station that holds it very nice and it is very sturdy. It also has USB (4), Audio, HDMI, VGA and a network jack.

So how come google does not make on of these. This one is very very nice and very heavy well made.

Get the app "ultimate rotation control" from play store... It has a forced auto rotate mode that will force the app to rotate with the tablet...

Free version is a 7 day trial but you can unlock the paid version for free by installing some apps for credit

You can immediately delete the apps after tho
