Anyone know of an official keyboard or universal keyboard/dock that will be coming out for the Nexus 7 Tab?
Not that I know of. But I sure hope for a good dock that anybody can recommend me that has a reasonable price.
i found a bluetooth keyboard/case combo on amazon, not perfect but it works pretty well.
Sent from my bathroom, with toilet paper.
Rumor is Asus has a dock and keyboard they are releasing "soon." But there hasn't been an official announcement yet.
I don't understand why they can't just release these accessories during or before launch? Why so long after?

As the title suggests, it looks similar to the Keyboard Case offering that Logitech have for the iPads. So what's everyone's take on it? Looks pretty functional in terms of the keyboard, but in terms of a case, I wonder how practical it is.
Nice find I have been looking for this.
Thanks!
similar found for UK
Found a similar one on the UK amazon site called IVSO wireless bluetooth keyboard case for Google Nexus 7 Tablet (BLACK Keys) (by Gambolex). Has anyone used it yet? Just worry that the keys will come into contact with the screen as it did a similar case I had for my Vega. Size-wise it looks like a 7" folding PU leather keyboard case for my wayteq xpad. Took a while to get used to but seemed pretty good

This is actually pretty awesome and reasonably priced. I may have to pick one of these up

wow that actually looks really nice! does the tablet "snap" into the keyboard when its being used as a keyboard (as opposed to snapping on as a case)? that is my only concern, having it slide off the keyboard and falling unprotected to the ground lol

Theirs a new case out it has the tab key now its perfect still no hinge :laugh:
I'm typing this message on one now. Very impressed with the quality. Size is going to take some timeto get used to though, but what else to expect from a 7 inch keyboard. The nexus just sits in the slot, feels quite sturdy but there's no clipping. Case clips over the nexus well, but wouldn't survive a drop.

i am typing on mine and very happy with it.
idea for manufacturer though....
i am sure that not all available space under the cover is taken by the battery and that there must be some added weight to keep it steady with tablet in the slot.
why not use all of the space for a heavy duty battery (heavy in weight as well) and put some pogo pins in the slot to top-up N7 battery

Which one? The one i see in Amazon all does not have Tab key.
Read the reviews there. You'll see them mention that the keyboard layout has changed and now has a tab key.

My IVSO keyboard arrived today. It took 7 days to arrive in Ireland from date of order (via Amazon). Keyboard feels solid. Looks good in use and when stored in the case. When I placed the order the photos of keyboard showed that there was no tab key, see (sorry, but cannot add links as I am a new member). HOWEVER the one that arrived has a tab key above the enlarged 'Q' key (along the same line as the number keys). I have attached some photos here. Apologies if I don't have the orientation right. Have been using it for a few hours now and it feels as good as the much more expensive keyboard I bought for my work IPAD (about euro90). The keys are a little crowded and I am hitting the wrong key sometimes, but in fact no more than I do as a hunter and pecker on a full scale keyboard.
I also took the opportunity when ordering to buy the IVSO OTG host cable (which with the Nexus Media Importer app) allowed me to connect a 16GB USB stick to the Nexus 7. I could open photos, videos and play music I have been told to be careful when order the cable as not all will work with the Nexus. I tried attaching a USB 1TB drive but as expected it did not show up as an available device. Am on the look out for a good 64GB or 128GB USB stick and when I locate one, I will try it out on the Nexus like the 16GB one. The OTG connection is a little bit wonky and loose. It doesn't feel 100% secure, but having said it has not fallen out yet. But it wouldn't take much to knock it out I think. Yet, for the price, it opens up a whole new way of increasing the (derivative) memory of the Nexus 7 and that is a great thing.
I think the key board and cable are great accessories, and I am using the keyboard to write this message with few mistakes for a hunter and pecker.
Also, if anyone is looking to convert their bose sound dock to a bluetooth device, check out the I-Wave device (again, sorry but I cannot add hyperlinks) which also arrived today and allows me to stream via bluetooth from the Nexus to my bose sounddock. So far, so good and if it continues to work out, then it will have saved me 100's of euros buying a specially made wireless/bluetooth bose speaker (there are videos on you tube showing a bloke demonstrating its versatility).

Just sent PM. The company supplier is Gambolex in China. My Amazon order page (for the delivered good) is saying it is now out of stock. When I ordered stock was low. But might be worth contacting them direct?
I have one as well with a tab button. My keys are extremely small... I like it as a case but it's not a great keyboard for me... Great to watch movies and play video games on while it's in typing position though...

Just watched the Android Christmas Card video....there is a Nxxus 10 dock pictured right at the 1:00 mark...hoping this is real. Looks like it is.
It's certainly encouraging. With the news of the POGO pin connector, the pictures of the Nexus 7 dock and now this video from the Android Team, I'm very hopeful. I know I will buy the dock as soon as it is released.
It would be a Christmas miracle!
Will it charge faster than the micro usb?
Otherwise why waste the money.

Some of us wants to be able to use a dock as a dock... charging faster will be a plus for me but i'd like to use an official POGO pin dock that I can place on my counter to charge as I browse. Or even slow the battery drain when I play music/movie.
TLDR: Having a dock is freaking awesome.

A dock offers more then just charging... It also serves.. as a stand.
Also audio out for your stereo/speakers.

Yea I saw this too and I got super excited!!! Lol
I hope its an official dock and not just a random stand that they used.

Good eye! I was hoping we'd see a dock with pricing and delivery at CES next month. Can't wait to get one so I can hack it...
Guess it does mean, a dock is coming, couldn't care less about it though I would prefer if they would release an official keyboard dock like the one ASUS transformer has.
I wouldn't be waiting for this to come out as Nexus device accessories don't have the best track record. *Waiting on Nexus 4 orb charger*
while u wait get the energizer qi on amazon, i found one for 50 bux totally worth it
The nexus 7 dock looks nice but I thought the nexus 10 dock looked too small and the tablet didn't seem very secure /stable /safe in it. I wish they made it longer.

Nocoast, shame you can't use it on the n10. I'm sad no company has made a generic qi home dock for phones and tablets. I'm even more sad no company has made a universal car qi dock.
I use touchstones in the car and house for my gnex and the wife's s3. Of prefer having something more future proof for phones like the n4 that have it built in. Hardware jacks aren't that fun. The touchstone are nice and small though, but the phone angles will in it are shallow. Pivot mount mechanism works in the car though.
I gotta say I don't think that's a dock at all, it doesn't make sense to have a 4 inch dock for 10 inch tablet, I think that was just a generic plastic stand
Hmm, have you ever seen an official iPad dock? there is a reason behind that, the tablet is not small, big dock will look bulky and no aesthetic with it, maybe Apple know something we don't , but then again there are magnets, we also don't know what the shape of it, maybe it holds still, and actually similar to iPad dock...just my thoughts :cyclops:

The N10 is my first Nexus product & I expected more from Google in the way of accessories. I work for B&N & we have the widest & most varied selection of accessories that I have ever seen for any device under one roof. Perhaps I'm just spoiled, but I don't think my expectations are too high. Google has the capability to provide accessories & I don't understand why they haven't.
So for University I was planning to buy an ultrabook but to save money, I will probably use my Nexus 7, since I am only typing notes.
I have read online that there are a few keyboards that are designed for nexus 7. I was wondering if I get a usb-to-microusb
converter, will my keyboard work for the nexus 7? Or would a regular Bluetooth keyboard work with Nexus 7?
The keyboards made for tablets just seem too small for me.

Pretty much any usb keyboard will work on the n7 with the otg cable. I have not tried one that didnt work yet. As for bt, I dont know. They are supposed to work, but i dont have one to be able to say which does and doesnt.

bluetooth would probably be your best bet. why attach wires when you can go wireless
I got this keyboard
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wireless-Bluetooth-Keyboard-Google-Tablet/dp/B009SL3WS4/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1356522230&sr=1-1
works pretty well for what you may need it for...
Hey guys I was just wondering If anyone has found a good keyboard/case with an inbuilt battery like how the Asus Transformer series have. When the keyboard dock is plugged into that device it extends the battery life of the tablet..any such product for the N7?
Thanks for the replies! Were helpful. I'll have been looking at otg cables before but was unsure.
They are pretty cheap on amazon so I guess I'll just order one.
Passed my old N7 along and using the new 32Gig model 2 now.
I've read about a GPS issue but I don't seem to have the problem. I rooted my last one but never really took advantage of that so I'll probably use this one stock for awhile. I did notice that the new one has no "docking port" or whatever the heck that contact point was supposed to be. .... So what happened to the docking port? The absence in the new model says "orphan" to me.
So far, very nice and very smooth, great screen and no apparent quality or fit problems. The second camera is a nice addition.
And Amazon just informed me that the Chromecast unit I ordered last month will be delivered sometime in September or October.
The Old School Dock
The Dock connections on the old school Nexus 7 were for charging capabilities and for audio out i believe. I read a few reviews and that about the dock and i thought it would be great to have one...... however everywhere i looked since the N7 came out they were all out of stock.
And not work the $50 they were asking. So oh well!
They must of deemed the Dock Capability not needed after that and kept it out of the 2013 model. :-/
Because they have the wireless charging coil in the new n7
Beamed from my Grouper
I love the docking capabilities of the old Nexus 7. I have speakers connected to my docks and use it as a small media player at various points around the house.

Hey guys,
any of you using a VR headset with this phone? What's your option?
I myself like the Zeiss VR One GX, but unfortunately they don't have a drawer for Nexus 5X. Maybe in the future. Meanwhile I'm looking to some bluetooth controlled headset.
Amazon for the headset. Lightweight ear buds priced from $16 USD to close to $100

I would say no, because Google has very specific ideas of smartphone displays response time. The LCD ISP probably won't be good enough.
That said, it doesn't mean the 5X can't handle VR.
I asked a similar question in the "Android N Preview" thread, and someone replied stating that the N Preview 3 has greatly boosted his VR Experience on his 5X.
I guess the 5X just won't get official Support for Daydream.
