Love the Aluminium case idea but an iPad case on the TP is going to have gaps at the corners, I don't know how that would affect the way it closes/stays shut.


/edit, Just had a closer look at the middle link keyboard, I can see typing on that being a real pain, having to 'reach over' the case sides all the time.

I called Zagg and they claim compatibility with pairing for the Zagg solo (http://www.zagg.com/accessories/zaggkeys-solo-ipad-keyboard.php), but i'd be more interested in something with a case as well. the good thing is that their bluetooth pairing seems to play well across devices, so pairing it with android when available should be a breeze.

I'll shoot them an e-mail to see if they can tell me if any of there cases would fit snuggly with the touchpad and report back here when I find out.

Just checking to see if anybody tried any of the zagg cases yet.. I have seen a couple Zaggmate for ipad1 on ebay for $55.00 USD, I was thinking of giving it a try.

**Edit: I found a used one that allegedly works for $40.00 so I bought it.. will report back findings***

The problem you are going to encounter (as has been pointed out a number of times) is that the TouchPad is slightly thicker (about 1mm) than the iPad and anything that clips around the thing tightly is going to come up short for the TouchPad. in other words, if the case is designed for the iPad to sit down snugly inside it somehow, the TP will NOT fit within those confines.

Sorry.:(

Zaggmate for ipad1 DOES connect/pair with TP

Ok.. My Zaggmate for the ipad1 arrived today. I was very eager to try it out. First impression solid, well built, keyboard is a little small for my hands I would say it is about a 90% keyboard. Others were right the corners are left exposed as you can see in the pictures below but not bad at all. It does fit well. When sitting in the dock area it does stay still, however do not push on the screen too hard or shake the table as it may give way. OH, and the most important part.. IT DOES pair with the TP (see below posts) and my Motorola Droid 1 but can't get it to work with my LG Revolution, but the TP was the main point. So it DOES WORK!!!

Wow that looks awesome! Mind made up lol!
To pair it, I heard you have to type and combination on the touchpad i.e. 1234
then type the exact same thing on the keyboard. Get back if it works :)

tried the usuals 1234, 0000 but when it did pair to my LG Revo the # code was 6 numbers

disregard.. it did work using 123456 on both!! Thanks for the tip.

It is a little buggy.. the escape key works to open up the app drawer as well as the button on the TP that lets you switch cards..

To use the alternate punctuation marks like ! @ # $ % ^ or ? " : you have to use caps lock, shift won't work

Apple's command button will also open up the app drawer from home screen

Function key row also has search but that will just bring up the Just Type screen but you can also access that by.. you guessed it.. just typing lol I am still playing around with this.

Got the zaggmate to connect with CyanogenMod however none of the function keys seem to work and the arrow keys thinks the tp is always in vertical mode because that how they move. Unless an update will fix some of the issues probably wont work in Android well enough to use regularly.. might buy the zaggkeys solo and see how that works since they list compatibility with Android tabs.

sent from my HP Touchpad powered by CyanogenMod 7.1 alpha :D

*EDIT*: After some playing around the number/letter/punctuation keys work for basic typing. Search key works, command does nothing, Volume keys work, tab, shift, caps lock all work fine. Anyone following the "issues" from the rootz wiki forum, someone came up with a fix (qwerty.kl file) that allegedly works with the HP Touchpad OEM Bluetooth keyboard to fix the issue with the directional arrow keys only move as if the TP was always in vertical position. This also occurs with the Zaggmate however the "fix" didn't fix it.
