Touchpad Keyboard

[Legion021]

I was wondering if anyone knows of a decent case for the touchpad keyboard!

Or if anyone knows of a keyboard case (like a zaggmate look alike for touchpad), that would be awesome as well.

Thanks

I bought this one when it was $20.00.... ridiculous price now, though.....

IPad KB cases work for the TP, just a heads up. I epoxy'd some foam at the bottom of the mount for the tablet to make it fit a bit more snug, but it's not necessary, considering the camera doesn't work, anyway.

Do some fishing on Amazon.... for 20, the case is well worth it...... not so much for that current ridiculous asking price, though....

I was looking into buying this one:

It's for ipad 1, which is pretty much the same size as the touchpad. But the price is ridiculous. There are chinese made ones that look exactly like the Zaggmate for cheap but they are only compatible with ipad 2 & 3.

I'll look into an apple keyboard cover see if I can find anything for cheap.

Damn, they only ship within US.

BTW, for people who are ordering this, it will work with the Touchpad but it won't fit as a case. Something to consider.

I am looking for a case that basically converts the touchpad into a netbook. Meaning no flappy leather. I can't find anything solid that I can use on my lap. I was just about to make a thread about this.

Something that just snaps the touchpad in and folds open like a laptop (meaning you don't snap it in and out of a case)

If I had access to a 3d printer i would just make one

Something like this? Although it's for ipad 2 but I wonder if it's possible to do any mods to make the touchpad fit.

This one looks a lot better and I think it would fit the touchpad but it's damn expensive.

This was on Woot.com a few weeks ago for $8.00. I couldn't pass that up and got one. sinks great with my TP running CM9 nightlys. of course it has the dimensions for the galaxy tabs so my TP doesn't even come close to fitting into it, but as a stand alone keyboard, it's really good.

I just got the Kensington K39532US keyboard/case and IMO is the best choice for our Touchpads. It costs more than the knockoffs, but I've tried a couple of those and been disappointed. Being made for Android and Windows 10' tablets, I assumed it would be specific to widescreen tablets, like previous cases. However, I watched the video from their websitehttp://www.kensington.com/ajax/showVideo.aspx?id=48157 and it seems Kensington uses the same case size for both ipad and android, they just use a slightly different keyboard. This does mean there will be extra space in the case on the top or side depending on which size tablet you use. Some people may not care for the adhesive grid pad holding the tablet in place, but I find it very secure. If anything, it holds the tablet too tightly. Since I never took it out of the HP case, I'm hoping this isn't an issue for me. And yes, the Touchstone charger works with the tabet still in the case.

The upside for me is that I'm not using an iPad only case that doesn't quite fit (or covers part of the screen) and I'm using an android keyboard, so all the keys work. The special keys work, such as music/volume controls, back and home. Also, the keys are hard plastic, not the rubber-keys of previous models and knockoffs. It works like a charm, I'm using it now. There are two keys at the top right "K1" and "K2", not sure what they are for. Being also for Windows tablets, there are the usual Windows keys near the spacebar. If anyone wants pics, let me know.

I happen to have the Zaggmate keyboard for Ipad 1 mentioned above (21st Bday present )

http://www.zagg.com/accessories/zaggmate-ipad-keyboard-case

Don't try the ones made for Ipad 2 and "3", they don't even fit and it's probably not designed for the weight of the ipad 1; and yes, even the knock-off ones don't work.

I quite like it as a whole, the design is nice; I quite like the glossy black against the aluminium, in general, it's not that heavy either. The keyboard... decent, a much much better experience than those squishy keyboards found on the leather folio type cases. You'd need to adjust to the keys, but that doesn't take long, some pics:

I haven't mastered the keyboard shortcuts yet, but most of the common ones work fine, and the media ones work too (minus that globe button). Only thing I don't like about it was that the "hooks" didn't hold the device in place well. It would topple if you moved it the slightest, and since you'd be poking the screen due to the lack of touchpad that was concerning. I just stuck on some no-slip padding, now its really secure and doubles to minimise movement when its closed:

Highly recommend one if you can get one for cheap, it fits really well and actually looks like its made for the TP. Functionality wise... well you can type on it and almost all of the media keys work

hello FC1032.

Does the touchpad is fastened securely and adapted to the keyboard, or has a little slack?

When you have it "closed" there is a small gap at the corners of the case (due to the ipad1 being more sharp at the corners), there is very little movement otherwise.

When "opened" like a laptop: The TP is just leaning on the back hinge shown in the last photo and the base held with some "hooks" (so its not fastened/docked like a transformer). Originally it was not secure at all, like i mentioned the hooks at the base don't grip the TP. Now I have the non-slip grips stuck on. It's really secure now. I tried shaking and wobbling the TP and it still stays in place, as long as you don't flip it upside down or have it greater than 45 degrees, it's more than enough to be still.

I wasn't really sure which one you meant, so I answered both scenarios.

Thanks FC1032. Exactly the kind of review I was looking for.

One last question. When you have it closed, would the touchpad fall out if you hold the case and touchpad upside down? Or is it secured. Because you mentioned there is a bit of empty space in the corners.

Thanks again.

Unfortunately its not entirely secure and will fall out if held upside down.
