Am not using the keyboard very often and find the keyboard adds to the weight to carry around. Am looking for a case the would stay on even when attaching the keyboard book cover?
I cant imagine any case that will allow you to snap on the keyboard book cover while it's installed. Maybe a skin??
I did not buy the keyboard cover for just that reason. What I did is get the Book Cover case and a separate bluetooth keyboard. While I would prefer the pogo connected keyboard like on my Galaxy Book, I use the tablet as a tablet 90% of the time so I didn't want all that bulk. I purchased this keyboard for under $30 and I'm happy with it. I bought the one with the case because I just throw it in my backpack. When I use the keyboard I just remove it completely from its case {magnetically attached) and use the Bookcover Case to stand up the Tab S4.
Thanks, suspected as much. Will consider your solution

i wanted to get the TAB with a keyboard dock and an official book cover case
the things i that i figured that the tab would not fit in the dock anymore because of the case
so i'm in a delima should i just get one or both,removing my pad from the case everytime i wanna charge with the dock seems like too much trouble
i haven't seen any cases that would actually fit with any sort of case......
That's pretty much it. I have the bookcover case and a dock. If I plan on using the Tab for a long time and want to charge it while I use it, I remove the cover and dock it. Otherwise if I just want to charge it, I leave it in the case and plug it in. Not much of a pain in the rear since I don't use the dock everyday, but just occasionally.
okay thanks for clearing that up.......might just wait until the bluetooth keybaord case is available
I have been looking for a new case for my Sony Tablet S, and I have seen a few people with the ZaggFolio, It’s a case, Bluetooth keyboard and stand all in one but made for the IPAD2.

I did some searching and was able to then find the Kensington folio for universal 10 inch tablets. I went into best buy sadly the top part of the Sony tablet S is too thick for the holders and this case does not work either.

Does anyone know any cases like this for the Sony tablet, Or know of a good combination of a Case and keyboard? (I don’t want to have to take my cradle every place I go and I would love a case that holds everything and is still easy to carry in my hand)
Here an Amazon.com link
Hi,
I bought a Moko case (really nice, only gripe it blocks the IR signals, so have t take case off when using the remote feature).

I didn't like that case and returned it to Amazon, I felt where the sides and top come together the stitching made it stick out too much.

It looks like rooCASE Executive Portfolio (Black) Leather Case Cover might do what I need, but I don't know it it would fit a Bluetooth keyboard inside. Really want I want is a case to hold my Tablet and a keyboard (I found a keyboard that is about the size of a cell phone I could use) as well put my tablet on an angle.
Also looking for a case
Hey there,
I am very interested in finding a keyboard case, so I can use it to take notes at school.
My searching has got me nowhere but sad:
http://www.squidoo.com/best-cases-for-sony-tablet-s#module155742916
and
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2I0JKZ6UCw
But nowhere to buy the product from.
I picked up the GNP 12.2 relatively "cheap" for $449 refurbished by Samsung as a easy, portable laptop replacement for my HP2000. All I really do away from my desktop is email, web browsing, Facebook, Tapatalk, Youtube, Netflix, and a handful of things that Android handles well, and it works great.
My current case is a $15 eBay cheapy that I am not happy with... What I am looking for is a recommendation for a case that has a keyboard and can be used as a plain tablet case in your hand, lap, or stand up on a table w/o the keyboard, about 50/50 usage each way, without completely swapping cases.
I was hoping for an option under $50 and was looking at the Khomo keyboard case with swivel or a Moko BT keyboard case on Amazon.
Any recommendations on something else or anyone using either of these cases?

I can highly recommend the Logitech Keyboard pro. Ok. It's expensive but it's worth every cent!
Have a look at youtube, there is a test.
I am very happy with my Logitech pro KB.
In combination with the Logitech ultrathin touch mouse the Galaxy is a perfekt office.
For keyboard cases specially designed for the Note Pro, the Logitech is great.
Still, I would love to have a keyboard with trackpad since many times the combination of Keyboard and touch screen is very inefficient and I don't want to carry a mouse.
There are generic Chinese cases with keyboard and trackpad but they look cheap to me (not only in the price).
Asus has a great BT piece called ASUS Transleeve Keyboard 90XB00HP-BKB090 or 90XB00HP-BSL070 that comes with a folding cover to place the tablet at the correct angle but I don't know if it will fit the Note Pro well.
Also, the keyboard is intended for a Windows tablet so maybe the multimedia keys will not function properly in Android.
Universal Bluetooth Keyboard Case Cover For 10.5"-12.5" Tablets, Surface RT/Pro
Universal Bluetooth Keyboard Case Cover For 10.5"-12.5" Tablets, Surface RT/Pro

I had to make several choices in deciding what keyboard I was going to choose. Was I going to go for cheap and cheerful or delve in and spend over 100 quid. I decided to go for cheap and cheerful as I can just replace it if something was to go wrong and it wouldn't be so hard on the wallet. I went for a generic keyboard and case combo on ebay. I had read up beforehand about other peoples experiences with keyboards and after a little research it seems that most keyboards with bluetooth work with our tablet. I buy on ebay as if something goes wrong then I have the backing of ebay and paypal to return it.
The keyboard and case came in a box and inside the box is a leaflet on how to get the keyboard working with an iPad, a Windows tablet and our Android choice. It's really simple. Turn on your bluetooth and turn on the keyboard. Turn the keyboard on and press and hold the button until it flashes then get the tablet to search for your keyboard. Then follow the onscreen instructions to pair the device. The box also contains a USB cable to charge the internal lithium batteries in the keyboard. It recommends you do this for 2 - 2 1/2 hours before hand and give you 60 hours of continuous typing.
Mounting the tablet was a little difficult. The case can hold 10.5 to 12.5 inch tablets though putting my 12.2 in the clips was a struggle, and on the second day of using this case I noticed that my tablet was bending very slightly. I removed it from the case later that day and the tablet straightened out. I wouldn't recommend this for anything bigger
Whilst the tablet was mounted in the case I did take it too and from work and used it in a meeting. The keyboard is comfortable to use and I type quite quickly. It does keep up with my typing however the keys are a little vague when pressing. You need to hit them in the middle and with enough force to make them work.
I'm using the keyboard to type up this review and it certainly is lot faster than using the onboard keypad and you can see the rest of the screen and not looking through a little window at the top.
I also noticed that you can remove the keyboard from the case and have the tablet on the table and the keyboard in your lap.
I'm going to modify this case so I can mount it in the slips without being bent.
PROS: Cheap, it works with most phones/tablets, faster than using onboard keypad, if you use a 3rd party app you can reprogram the keys.
CON: Keys need some precision to work, need to press fully to register, clips hold 12.2 tablet so tight it was bending my Galaxy Note 12.2.
Hi
I'm looking into getting a keyboard for my Note 12.2. I currently have the Samsung book cover and it does what it says and works fine. However I can't decide between a keyboard case or a separate keyboard. My requirements are possibly too much to ask from one device though as most nights I watch stuff on it in bed (not that sort of stuff ) and need to be able to hold it comfortably with the cover behind the tablet.
The one thing I don't like about the book cover is the way it stands up. It's very unstable and to be honest, not suitable to use with a separate keyboard. So if I went with a separate one, I'd need to get a cover/case that supported the tablet much better in landscape orientation standing up.
The keyboard case I was looking at was the Logitech Pro Case. Seems nice but how does it feel when the keyboard is behind so you can hold the tablet? Does it add much weight also?
Any ideas or photos of your set up would be greatly appreciated
Cheers
Andy
Too good to be true??

I got the Wedge keyboard, and I bet Amazon has plenty of those used. I wished I waited to get mine from Amazon instead of buying it at full price at Staples. Great build quality, never once failed when using it for either my mac or tablet, and has portability. But any bluetooth keyboard pretty much does the same thing, though it depends on what you want.
If you want portability, get the Wedge Keyboard.
But if you want a bigger keyboard, I bet there are plenty. I've never heard of a keyboard case like the surface covers, but those would be a cool thing.
I have the Logitech cover with keyboard. It is very well designed and pretty comfortable. Its only disadvantage is weight - it weights about the same as the tablet itself.

I prefer a separate bluetooth keyboard. So I've got a Logitech K810. It's exactly the same width as the tablet, so they fit together nicely in a sleeve. Excellent build quality, battery lasts for months and the keys are very responsive (as expected from Logitech's high-end line. It is 100 quid, after all.)
I also prefer a separate keyboard, picked up a used Belkin fsl114 (10 inch wide) for almost nothing that is outstanding. Believe it was in an Ipad case. We use extensively on another tablet and lasts quite a long while. Not quite full sized, about 3/4 size.

I got RAPOO E6700 and with Xposed Additions I'm more than happy with it.
In mobile situations I use Microsoft Sculpt Keyboard, in the Office I use the full size Speedlink Athera Bluetooth Keyboard.
Thanks for all the advice, I'll be looking for a separate keyboard now I've got a decent folio case.
Is there any way to remove the magnets from the Logitech case? Or does anyone know of a keyboard case without magnets?
I really don't want anything to mess up the S-pen functionality and really don't like magnets in general when it comes to proximity to electronics.
The magnets in the Logitech case does not affect the S-pen functionality. Magnets do not affect electronics unless you use a really powerful magnet like the ones used in lifting cars in a junk yard.
However, normal magnets may affect floppy disks by erasing the magnetic part of the disk but who uses those anymore?
Most good speakers have a powerful electromagnet in them and you don't ever hear of those causing any issues with electronic stuff. In my office those speakers are within inches of my laptop and never any issues.

It's not about electronics. The Spen sensor itself is magnetic. Introducing another magnet into the magnetic field of the Spen disrupts the field.
Maybe, but the magnet in the Logitech keyboard does not affect my Spen in my Note Pro 12.2. Is it affecting yours?

Logitech has put a bit of protective material between the tablet and the case in their Note cases. The issue affected all Spen devices.
Cheaper cases, however, don't have that addition.
So annoying that the best keyboard case out there has these. It's a well known fact that magnets disrupt SPen. A clasp would have been fine. Which is why I bought the Speck Folio. And I'm probably going to buy a standalone K810 keyboard. Even if it's way less compact.
Really satisfied with my Logitech keyboard/case combo, the ability to switch layouts (I'm using canadian french) makes it perfect for the job. I'm also using a bluetooth mouse to get the most of it. Add a USB OTG dongle and you get pretty everything you need for a laptop replacement.
The only setback, like the others said, there's no magnet to shutdown the screen when closing the case.
I bought it on ebay for about 60$ which is well worth it.
I had a device with Wacom pen (it was an e-book reader) with cover that had a magnet in it - what it did is it destroyed the pen. The screen still works with another Wacom pen, but the pen that I had with the device is broken and draws only on parts of the screen. So now I avoid any covers with magnets.
I have had the Logitech since I bought the tablet 7 months ago and no problems at all.

Been using my logi keyboard for 9 months myself, no magnetic dividing by zero so far...
...turns out logitech isn't some one off company that just throws **** together all willy nilly...
