keyboard case for note i717 - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

I've been looking for a case with a Bluetooth keyboard for my note but I can't find it.....
Has anyone seen any case like this one???

I had that exact keyboard attachment for my iphone and in all honesty, it was terrible...
maybe its just me, but those little keyboards with non-standard key layouts are a pain, and you end up typing faster with the touch screen.
if you are really looking for a true Keyboard, that you can actually get some work done on, I highly suggest the Logitech Tablet Keyboard for Android, I cannot say enough good thinks about it.
its extremely sturdy, very comfortable and easy to type on, never has a problem connecting immediately, just an all around solid keyboard. The carrying case also doubles as a stand for your phone, with multiple viewing angles.

I see where your coming from.. I was a crackberry user for about a year, and yes, their keyboards are phenomenal. If you could find a bluetooth one that had the same key style and setup as the blackberries, id be all for it.
Im just not a big fan of the mini keyboards.. they are just laid out weirdly and dont feel comfortable to me. who knows, maybe its just me.
Give that one a shot and let us know how it is

i highly suggest every single note user invests in the sony bluetooth ps3 keyboard.
i can navigate through the whole phone using it!!
what i do is usueally put my phone in my landscape holder..and just use this keypad to change songs, reply to texts do basically everything.
in school vis google docs i type up essays..in the car i change the song without even having to look ath the phone.
its small enough to carry around..big enough to use everyday
and i suppose you could easilly cut off the bottom with a razor if you absolutely have no use for it (ps3 controller)

While I like the style of the case I can't help but wonder how useful the keyboard will really be. The case isn't rigid so using it to thumb type with the phone flipped open won't be possible and it's too small to use as a traditional keyboard while sitting flat on a desk.
I'm definitely looking forward to a full review.
Edit:
For those interested I found the same case on Amazon for slightly less, free shipping:

What do you guys think about this laser keyboard ?????
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium

I own the version of that Logitech keyboard for tablets that was made for the iPad and it works great with the Note. I use it just a little since I do mostly pen input but wrote a blog post yesterday using the keyboard. There is a version made for Android but I'm not sure what's different. Likely just the shortcut keys.

I've always wanted to give one a try but the price just isn't right for me. I imagine the learning curve on accuracy is a little steep at first but if it works well I could see never wanting to go back to a physical keyboard.

The accuracy is not the hard part. the hard part to get used to is no tactile feed back. That, and not typing so hard that you bruise your finger tips The other issue with those keyboards is compatibility.

Looks like it's a dud, check the review...

Is web top open source? I'd love to have web top on my note.

Assuming this is the one he's talking about I'd be making an unhealthy (probably destructive) level of modifications before carrying it around. Given the button style it probably works really damn well though.

Kickstand for ATRIX?

Ok so my friend has this one DROID and he is always watching shows on it with his little kickstand. Im really jealous cause it takes like a combo of a stapler and a tape pod to get my phone propped up. Is there a case or after market battery panned that has something to keep the phone up at all?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
i sure if you google motorola atrix kickstand youll find what your looking for. also you may want to look into cases from other phones that have it and fit the atrix. i too am an atrix owner (only phone) and would like to see that for the phone. as for the answer i havent looked into it and can not say yes or no if there is one specificly for the atrix.

There also appears to be a fairly unimpressive Body Glove case for the ATRIX with a snap-on kickstand
I traded my HD7 for the atrix i have now and it came with a Body glove case with a kickstand, its not the ugly one with a clip though that you see all over the net. cant find it either lol, its actually very nice. the kick stand is built in verticle as well, not horizontal like the other clear one so you can set the phone down either way.
I got this same one...it is great, and cheap to boot!!! Build quality is good (not great)...but for the price it does a good job.

Stylus for Xperia S

Hi all,
I am trying to find stylus for XS. Before you start asking why I need it, let me explain. Recently I got addicted to Draw something game/app. And I need stylus to draw more accurate drawings. I tried pencil with rubber at the end of it, but it does not work due to capacitive screen. Maybe some shops/ebay sells something like that, but I want to buy the one that definitely works and the end of it as thin as possible. Has anybody got experience using something like that? Does stylus for Galaxy Note would work?
Thanks in advance.

Indeed the s-pen is a wacom pen and requires a special wacom layer in the de device.
Any capacitive style will work with xps.

Trifold Cover/Case compatible with the keyboard dock?

Does such a thing exist? I'm thinking of a trifold cover similar to the ipad that would allow the tablet to sit up on the table in two positions, and then when you wanted it docked it could do that as well...
Thanks!

Not sure how it docks but seems like it would work it near upright ''mode"
I would probably atteck two rubber feet soon the nearside of the keyboard to make it even

They have a brown leather one on Amazon and of course the ones from China on ebay
I don't know, that link to the handheltitems product looks very clunky and doesn't trifold, so it only stands up *almost* vertically, and if you want to lean it back any, you can't because the back side just slides away...
I'm thinking literally just a trifold cover, not a case I guess, that attaches somehow like the ipad one does.

Id go with a trifold, and still might.. I had one with my KF but id really like something that includes the keyboard dock..
There is a very nice leather one at cellmacs.com
I cannot post links but if you go to their website and just search for TF300T you'll find it. Good quality, reasonably priced and free shipping.

I'm still leaning towards the one on the 3rd post.... it's still the best option IMO, and comes in carbon fiber leather! Come on June 18th!
I bought this one and I love it. All holes line up and it's nice to have it all folded up and protected. My only flaw is when I'm a lefty, when I use it vertically I have to turn the tablet upside down because when open it up like a book the power button is on the bottom left corner and the volume rocker is on the bottom of the unit on the left side. Other than that I love it

Thanks, that's the Poetic Leather Case. Do the button holes stick out when you are using the case as a portfolio without the keyboard?
The only hole for the buttons are the volume rocker buttons and they are pretty flesh with the holes. I will take some pictures tonight when I get home. What kind of pictures would you like to see?

Just wanted to drop in and give a recommendation on this case. It's keyboard compatible and holds shut with magnets. You can remove the dock pretty easily and it protects just as well without it.
I picked one up without any reviews, and I don't regret it. I think it's my perfect case!

+3 for the Poetic case.
As in I have bought 3 of them now, the first for myself and then 2 more as gifts. Incredible case. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Bed Bath & Beyond: The Best Note Stand I've Used Yet.

Found this little guy at the local BB&B, just sitting in the isle. Not perfect, but by far, the best stand I've used yet. Cheap, light and easy to use.
what is it called, what is it supposed to be used for, or what department is it in?

Yep. Mine was sitting in the middle of one of the isles. Just show the pictures to the clerk. I'm sure they have a good idea where stuff like that is.
Should be able to find at any craft store and even walmart too. They are very common for displaying saucer style "collectable" plates, plaques, awards, photos, and so on. A little work with a dremel would carve those notches out to the perfect size. Heck I may make out out of scrap kydex, never thought about one this simple. Thanks for the idea.

Stylus suggestion for the TF300?

Good evening.
I was looking for a stylus for the TF300, but I didn't know what should I buy. I'd use it for underline pdfs and taking notes with Supernote.
Is there anything like the Samsung S Pen? I'd like to spend less than 20 euros.
Thanks in advance
I'd like to know this too...anyone help?
Maybe with an UP...
Only stylus for iPads or normal android phone or works with iPhone will work. But they're not very accurate it's like drawing with your finger but it's a stick as the stylus had big surface area so that the even can detect it.
Sent from my ST25a using xda app-developers app
Any capacitive style stylus will work. Mostly anything listed here will work. Obviously the cheaper they are the lower quality they are. My step mom bought her Stylus for 10 bucks, its all metal, i got 3 for 5 bucks, they are all plastic.
the ones best buy sells are awesome. i think its targus brand? i use it for everything.

I bought a cheap aluminum one today with a felt tip, it it works pretty well with a light touch, and no screen protector.
Specifically, the tip is a rubberish felt material, that slides across the screen easily without getting stuck.
this may sound dumb, but do you guys rest your palms on the screen when you write? i am hating the "only the pen touching" thing. if i rest my palm though, it doesnt know where i want to write. Anybody else seeing the predicament here? Thoughts? techniques? am i missing something obvious? i liked the idea of a stylus until this manifested itself.

I think certain note apps have the palm rejection capability. I believe Lecture Notes does, but I haven't tried it with the TF300T yet.

If you look in the play store, there are a few apps with palm rejection for notetaking, if thats what you want.

About two years ago I bought a metal stylus with a rubber tip from a pound shop in the UK. I wondered if it would work with my Galaxy S2 but of course it didn't. Still, I'm glad I didn't throw it away because a year later when I tried it on my tf300t it worked like a charm.
