Hi, I was wondering if anyone had found a keyboard dock like the transformer prime for the nexus 7. Maybe without the track pad due to the smaller size of the device. I would like something with a hinge like a laptop.
Thanks!

I actually wouldn't mind one with a trackpad, but yeah if they make one like the Transformer, I would be very interested.

I was just looking for the same thing, this is what I found...
Well it won't let me post a url being a new member. So just search "nexus 7 keyboard dock"... There's sources say one is coming. Please update if you ever hear more. Thanks!
Yah, thanks. I've seen those, but what I would really want is a case that has a hard hinges like a laptop where the n7 would act as a simple screen, so I can have it on my knees without having to worry about having to make it sit on something. Hope you understood, I have difficulty explaining it.
Thanks again for your time.

I'm in the same boat. I got this tablet to help me with colege stuff and I'd really like to find a good keyboard case so I could just open it on the desk and start taking notes to the cloud and all that stuff. A fast, organized and secure way of taking lesson notes.
I got one of this USB keyboard cases from ebay and the keyboard isn't really good. I thing I can type faster with Swiftkey...

Anyone think getting a Bluetooth keyboard is necessary?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I don't think its necessary but I don't type that much
i find typing with 2 thumbs to be pretty convenient, actually. if not the 1 finger dab works, haha.
Probably not, unless you truly despise tapping on a virtual keyboard to type. Besides, the JB keyboard on the Nexus 7 is pretty nice.
Awww in just thought it would look extra cool lol

I'm hoping someone rips off Microsoft's Surface Touch Cover/keyboard. Would be a nice compromise. While it's not a great keyboard since it has no key travel, it will avoid taking up screen real estate which is a nice upgrade over an onscreen keyboard. Would make it far more useful in a pinch as a terminal server client/remote support tool.

yes x100.
just tested my HP Touchpad bluetooth keyboard and it works great. no lag at all. just silly that the keyboard is bigger than the tablet. i could see it working great if you had to type stuff up on a plane or train or something. just need a case or something to prop the tablet up in landscape mode.
Not amazingly clever - the USB bit is the wrong way round so the screen faces away from you...

I guess either send it back or try a bit of surgery to see if it can be rotated.

Yeah, its going back... I bought it for my mom cos she's disabled and struggles to hold things in her hands. I'll get another one elsewhere.
You'd think they'd check this out before production. Even on a cheap £15 stand.

Why? Google had nothing to do with it.
I've emailed in to get it returned. The seller is stating that they sent the wrong one, but I've kind of lost my faith in it. Might get a folio case thing instead.
It is funny that they have turned the USB connector the different way up to other phones and tablets I've used. Maybe the manufacturer thought Asus would follow with the general rule and got caught out.
Upside down USB and really picky with chargers... What'll come up next?

PEBKAC. This is an emartbuy dock (you can see plenty on play.com's site). They only appear to carry these for phones. This one looks exactly like the one made for the Samsung Galaxy SIII.
oh man
wow *FacePalm* But thanks for the heads up. I'll know to steer away from this one I am looking in to an alarm clock dock that also streams music and charges the Nexus 7. Not available yet but signed up for info.

I have a 32gb Touchpad, and a Nexus 7. The Nexus 7 is more portable, comfortable, and stable. Typing on the Nexus 7 is much easier, and faster. The battery on the Nexus lasts considerably longer than the Touchpad. The Touchpad is a nice device, but I don't use it at all now that I have a Nexus 7.
I've got a Touchpad and a 7'' Android tablet. I'm using the first one as my multimedia device and Internet browsing at home (BT keyboard + mouse) and the second one when I've to use it outside home.

I'm 23 and have 2 slipped disks and, a repaired torn acl and mcl from playing soccer and football.. imagine my 50's will be make yours look good.Worst part, docs won't give me pain meds, because they think I'll get addicted or just want to get high. One straight up told me that, even after looking at my proven xrays.
On the popular topic, I bought the n7 and took it back. The screen really does feel too small after using the touch pad for so long, and performance didn't feel much different either.
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using xda app-developers app
If it helps, I've got both. I'm using the N7 pretty well exclusively just because it's much lighter (better for reading) and fits in my cargo pocket at work. The N7 is faster, sharper, has better support (obviously) and will have for a long time. I recently went away for a week and purposely took just the N7 to see how I would get on and was pleasantly surprised.
Downsides are, it's smaller so not as good for web browsing but is still usable, the kicker is 'no flash' since it's jelly bean. There are ways of getting round that for some things but it does mean my favourite news site is a bit crippled.
Im 15 xD

Where does the lack of flash hurt you the most? I'm seriously considering trading my TP for a N7 and I'm really worried about the web-browsing trade offs (i.e. screen size, lack of flash).

Hey since FLASH is not officially supported on jb since I started using the web browser PUFFIN it has FLASH built in its the best browser IMO. It has a trackpad built in that you can/off easily.
Its the closest to browsing on a PC I've ever seen you can put it mobile browsing mode. I've tried sky fire, opera, Firefox,stock,chrome and I like PUFFIN the best.
Checkout projectfree.tv in puffin browser compares to any other.
Puffin is also available for iOS.
Thanks for the suggestion!
You could press thanks. Lol.
Also checkout ice streams and navi-x apks.
Via aptoide or find them online.

I compared in hand a rooted KFHD and the N7. I choose the N7 and I don't regret it at all. Actually I'm very pleased with it. Read all the manufacture defects but so far mine is fine. I put it in a case now and makes me feel better.
I lucked out as well no hardware problems what so ever. How do I find out what model I have ?

If you still have the box, it's on the bottom in the label. It'll start with a string of C#O
No issues with mine either, had a little blip the other day where it crashed, FULLY for the first time. Held the power button and did a little restart, its like a woman, treat it right and it loves ya back, give it crap and itll piss you off

Coming from somebody who's screen magically cracked without me dropping it, I would still say the N7 is one of the best tablets out there, hands down. Initial product release is always a risky time for consumers, and I knew that walking into it. You can say that it should be perfect from the get-go and yeah I would agree, but replace the N7 with anything else, whether it be the iPad, a TV, a Chevy pickup truck, it doesn't matter. Lemons exist, especially during the initial run. Couple that with the fact that there are thousands of people who never complained about their N7 and the greater picture becomes a little clearer. Forums by nature tend to attract enthusiasts of that product as well as negativity since users with issues tend to seek out a place to vent (forums being a nice target), whereas the majority of people wouldn't bother to seek out a place to speak highly of the product - they'd rather utilize that time USING that product. I think my opinion is further swayed to the positives because ASUS *did* fix mine under warranty. Granted, I called them a few times so they knew my level of frustration before they even had a chance to work on it, but the end result was a 100% functional fixed unit. I'm a fan.
Love my Nexus 7. Only complaint was that I was cheap and purchased the 8GB version. The 16GB would have been a better match.
Just got mine yesterday and Im loving it, its a c80, the only problem I found is the crackling sound that it makes when I unlock it or select something, only problem so far, hope not to get one of the other major issues...
I unlocked and rooted mine the day I bought it (a week ago).
All went well via RomManager Premium, until I tried flashing a Rom.
Which then took into boot loop for a day or so.
Eventually got it back to life via Nexus Toolkit (Wugs).
Now left it in Stock mode using NOVA Launcher Prime and all is good!
Best 7" Tab ever, and I used to own a Sammy 10.1 Tab.
Awesome value for money.
Thumbs up to Android/Google! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Seriously? Yeah lol, seriously I couldnt expect less from this little baby, it would be the perfect tablet only if it hadnt those issues u.u
Same here. I'm so tired of seeing all this negativity through the Nexus 7 threads. My device is literally perfect. I've had it for about a month the now and love it more each day. No issues whatsoever, and receiving my Portenzo Bookcase in the mail the other day was the icing on the cake!!! I love this thing. Very affordable, and for the money, I got much, MUCH more than I bargained for. I'd gladly pay 250$ or even a bit more for a product of this caliber.

Was wondering what is a good keyboard. I need a mini to fit in my bag,
one probably without a Num Pad since I won't be using it as much.
I am currently looking at the
Elephant Mini Keyboard (KE006WH)
http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?item_id=042866
Does anyone know if this is a good keyboard? Sorry can't seem to find any reviews on this.
Or can someone recommend a decent mini keyboard? Mini being ~30cm. Must be wired
and my price point is $25
Something like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-KeySonic-540U-Mini-USB-Keyboard-Touchpad-/310558936750#vi-content

the keyboards work without drivers.
