Does the aluminum body have any effect on WiFi connection? I know the aluminum phone cases kill radio reception, but not sure about WiFi.

I wouldn't think so. I mean. Its not fully enclosed around the device. Just a guess

For those that have used this keyboard with the N7 (2012), how is the quality?
My wife has an ipad mini with the logitech keyboard ( http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/ultrathin-keyboard-mini), and the quality of the keyboard is fantastic, as is the bottom of the keyboard which acts as a clam shell case with the ipad.

That's pretty nice - haven't gotten one before but am thinking about it. Thank you for the share.
cool i'm gonna buy one for school definitely not bringing my new 3kg laptop
I like the idea of a portable keyboard but I don't think I could get used to typing on one the same size as the Nexus. If SwiftKey wasn't so good at predicting and making typing faster I would probably try one out though.
Have one of these for my 1st gen N7 and love it, great protection and nice for emergency typing/office work. Will definitely be getting another one when I get my N7 fhd!

I would MUCH prefer something like this, I wish a manufacturer would get on this, as it would be much easier for my work purposes to have a folio style keyboard/case. It's looking grim though, as the 1st gen. Nexus 7 still doesn't have something like this. Apple gets all of the nice accessories
This looks cool, but in the product description, it says that there's no tab key. In the photos, there's a tab key but no escape key. These keys are both important for console work. Which is actually missing?

I will email them again. Reviews on the old one said it had a tab key...

Thank you for contacting us. At this time, we have not received any specific details of the keyboard, however, we did request for the manufacturer to develop a Tab button. If you have any other questions or concerns, please let us know. Thank you.

I really hope a major manufacturer getson making a quality bluetooth keyboard similar to the logitech. Hopefully the 2013 N7 sales justify the manufacturer investment.

I have a keyboard that looks exactly like that one for my Nexus 7 2012, and it has the TAB key but no ESC key. I use an App from the Play Store called "External Keyboard Helper" that suppresses the internal pop-up keyboard when the BlueTooth keyboard is connected and also allows remapping the keyboard, so that the ESC key can fairly easily be added.
Just arrived today. Bluetooth connection works with no issues.
The top is all plastic with aluminum "color" trim with the bottom being a rubber type material.
Similar in style (clam case?) to the Logitech/Belkin keyboards for the ipad mini but certainly NOT the same quality of material...although it is less than 1/2 the price.
I like the rubber backing, it is lightweight and feels good when closed.
The keyboard layout is different than minisuit's alternative keyboard case (book style) and appears not as wide,
the Nexus 7 can't stand in portrait mode,
edging around the keyboard interferes with my typing,
awkward to open due to the clasp style,
no dedicated "search" or "app" button,
there is a tab key and a home key.
Personally, I found it very difficult to type accurately and I'm experienced in using similar type keyboards for the ipad mini (same width as the N7).

Think I'll be looking for other bluetooth keyboard solutions...maybe minisuit's other keyboard case which I think is a bit wider in key layout.

Would be nice if Google(or whoever made the final call on that) would have allowed Asus to make a keyboard dock for the N7 FHD just like their Transformer line of tablets. The N7 FHD would had to have used the proprietary Asus charge/sync port instead of the standard micro usb port, and also have had the slots for locking the keyboard dock in to place. Those things would probably have raised the price though, so I'm assuming that's why they didn't go that route. Regardless, it would have been cool to have that option for those who want it. Personally I wouldn't use it, so it's no big deal to me. I had the Asus Prime and Asus keyboard dock made for it, but never used it. I didn't even buy the keyboard dock for my Infinity when it came out. That said, I'm happy with my N7 FHD just the way it is.
I'm not sure if Windows has a patent on their magnetic latching keyboard docks (I haven't looked in to that info at all), but it would be awesome if future Android tablets would have that functionality! I know the Asus Infinity successor uses the same latching style for it's keyboard dock as its predecessors, unfortunately, but it would be awesome if all Asus tablets after the New Infinity would use the magnetic latching! That is about the only thing about the newer Windows tablets that I like. Like isn't really correct for that. I love that feature/function, and I'm totally jealous that my Asus Infinity can't do that! Lol
