Blurex Cases With Keyboard

Recently I emailed Blurex. I knew from the other post here that they would be making cases for the N7 and I wanted to know if they would make a case with a BT Keyboard like the one I had previously. I also decided to have a little fun with them because they usually love this as it breaks up the boredom of their crappy jobs. Here is the conversation.
My letter:
Name: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Company Name:U.S. Air Force
Company Url:We INVENTED the Internet!(with help from Al Gore)
Message: Hello! I love your cases and have purchased by my admittedly
completely inaccurate estimate at least 2 million of them. I am wondering if
you would be making a case for my shiny new Google Nexus 7(which apparently
will never ship). I would be particularly interested in one which had your
awesome Bluetooth Keyboard bundled with it!

The reply:
Dear XXXXXXXX,
You are a fantastic writer! You really get your personality through. Thank you 2 million times over for a great e-mail, and o-yah, your interest in our products. We are making a cased for your never been shipped(but will surely get to you)Nexus 7. I do apologize, but it will not be a keyboard case.
I will be sure to keep you posted.
Have a great day,
Alex

So it seems for any of you who like me were hoping for a nice Blurex KB Case you will not get one, but they will at least be making cases

This thread could have easily been added to the existing blurex thread. Please post there.

Man oh man, a case like that Xoom one for the N7 would be amazing. I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

Sadly they woin't be making it. BUT they have released THIS bad boy here!
An XDA user spotted it. It's probably an incorrect price but for 6 dollars including shipping, it's a no brainer! I bought 2 and they are shipping!

Suh-weet. How is that really nice case on 6 bucks AFTER shipping? Doesn't matter. I got myself one before they realized how much money they've gotta be losing, haha. Nice find, man.

well it was originally listed at $299.99, was supposed to be $29.99. They went back and fixed it to say $4.06 now. Guess they've been drinking! Or maybe a couple people accidentally bought at 299 and they felt bad so they gave a steep discount for a time.

Yeah, there's something fishy here...the product isn't even in stock yet, however there are several 5 star ratings from people who already received them. And I looked at the review history for several of them, and they seemed to rate everything 5 stars...

Careful guys. It could be a scam. It's littered with phony 5 star reviews.

Is it even possible to scam through amazon? Aren't there some sort of licensing involved? What about PayPal? And if so they are wasting there time with a $5 scam... I guess we'll find out considering my order was placed and I've received my receipt...

I don't think it takes much to be a 3rd party seller. Either way, I don't think the company will completely rip you off. I think the scam is selling cheap case made to look a lot better than they are by planting fake reviews.

if it doesn't arrive or is a poor product, amazon will refund your money
i returned a $6 kindle fire case with keyboard because it was some knockoff of what the pictures stated (it was missing the spring hinge to hold it in place, the stitching was just for show and the glue was around coming off within 24 hrs) - issue resolved very quickly with little hassle

Yes. I don't think a company is going to commit total fraud on a $5 item. But, it's quite obvious they're planting phoney reviews. If they're shipping cases for $5 including the shipping and making a profit, I wouldn't expect too much when it arrives.

The price seems way too good to be true.

I'm beginning to suspect that companies price these kinds of items insanely low at first, get tons of buyers, then get tons of awesome reviews, then they jack up the price and ride the positive reviews straight to profit (see the blurex magyc case as an example). In other words, pays to get in early on these deals (except I won't because I want an easy rotating case, not Velcro reattachment stuff).

This is the reply I got from the seller:
Hi dear customer,
Thank you for your email and concern. We are sorry for the misunderstanding and confusion about those product reviews. In fact, we usually produce around 100 samples for each new item before start producing large quantity. Especially for the tablet cases, we have confirm the case is perfectly fit the tablet. Those product reviews are the reviewers who received our sample in 2-3 weeks ago.
Thank you for your referral and patience for this back order. Please contact us at any time if you have any questions when you receive the case.
Thank you for your time and have a nice weekend
Sincerely,
Accessorise

This is what I wrote them originally: I should've posted this first... my bad..
Hello I recently purchased your product and would like confirmation that this is a legitimate product because I have referred your product to many people. They have questioned your product due to its obviously fake reviews. If you would please email me a confirmation or reference of yourself as a seller it would be good for your businesses and my peace of mind. Thank you.
I guess it makes sense and helps a Lil that they responded..

That's what I'm thinking too. A couple of cases that I'm eying for already increase their prices and shipping as well. I just ordered blue one. Not too much to loss. Just $5. We'll see.

Zagg Flex Keyboard/Stand

Heres a great deal I found on the Zagg Flex Keyboard/Stand. It costs 79.99 on their site. Sometime for 69.99 when on sale. Amazon has it for 57.28 on their site. But heres the real deal:
http://www.all4cellular.com/product/zagg-zaggkeys-flex-bluetooth-keyboard-bulk.html
ONLY 34.99 while supplies last because of overstock. If you look at the value this was a deal breaker I could not pass up. I paid 2$ sipping so my total was 36.99. If you look at the reviews the build quality and features are top notch. I'll use this for the keyboard and continue using my 10" Belkin neoprene case for transporting the tablet until the smartcover officially from Samsung (Still Hopeful) drops.
Good luck for those of you interested in a keyboard.
Heres a link to their commercial:

Wow. This is a steal. If I didn't have one already, I'd get one. I bought one at 80, and I don't regret it, thought I wouldn't have minded to save a bit of money.
This keyboard is amazing and works almost perfectly out of the box. But when you combine this keyboard with this app, you will actually want to use your N10 for productivity. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apedroid.hwkeyboardhelper
I don't work for Zagg nor am I the dev of this app FYI.

Yes, but that's an issue with all bluetooth keyboards and 4.2. Had nothing to do with zagg

Nice find! Just paid $31.16 for mine and I can't wait! :good:

I picked one up at Target, and while it performed well it just felt exceedingly cheap to me. The plastic case didn't have any structure to it and warped easily unless I was using it on a desk. Typing with they keyboard balanced on the arm of the sofa (for example) just didn't work for me. It has since been returned and I'm looking into other keyboard options.

Thanks for the find. Just ordered and was able to use the 20% off promo code someone else posted.

Damn, wish I had a extra $31.

Is anyone trying to order from overseas and having problems? Sometimes the site shows a shipping quote, sometimes it wont, it doesnt except my credit card and when i use paypal, it doesnt add any shipping costs.
All in all it would be a great deal, even with the $30 shipping costs, it's still almost half the price of what i pay in europe.

Clamshell Keyboard

For the life of me, I cannot figure out why Google and Samsung seemingly refuse to develop a competent and attractive keyboard solution. Especially with the Microsoft Surface Touch and Type covers selling so well with the actual Surface. The Nexus 10 has such an ideal connector in the pogo pins, and creating a keyboard dock with a hinge could not possibly involve heavy R&D costs. The market is clearly there. I would love to see a third party maker, like the creators of the ClamCase for the iPad, come up with a solution. The new ClamCase Pro is absolutely beautiful and greatly increases the productivity potential of the iPad. I'd buy one for the Nexus 10 in a heartbeat. I suppose I should not be surprised as we have yet to see an official pogo charger, although the one I bought works rather well, from either Samsung or Google. Both are doing a horrendous job of supporting a flagship tablet.
That was the rant portion of this post, my apologies.
I'm very curious to see what the best solutions everyone has come up with. Yes, I have perused all the other threads regarding the topic, and I've found the answers and workarounds less than appealing. So unless Google and Samsung miraculously come to their senses and release an accessory that should have been available 3 months ago, I'm hoping that one of the brilliant minds on here will spark some hope or joy into my search. So if you don't mind, please share your ideas, opinions, and possible solutions that I may be able to try out and attempt to assuage my growing frustration.

I just hook up a Bluetooth keyboard and put the tablet on a stand.
From a business standpoint, it's a waste of good R&D money to try to develop an integrated keyboard solution for a tablet. Nexus devices always have vestigial ports and plugs, and this is just due to Google's lazy practice of axing a particular feature over cost concerns, and then they just ask the hardware manufacturer to leave the remnants of it in rather than spend more money revising the design.
People that really need keyboards and mice will already have a preferred Bluetooth or OTG USB solution, meanwhile the OS itself doesn't require nor is it designed around those input devices. Personally I find it annoying and slow to use the OS with a mouse and keyboard, and only use the keyboard if I have a table nearby and need to type for extended periods of time. If such an occasion wasn't so rare, I probably would have bought an actual laptop or Chromebook instead.
Microsoft makes a point of marketing the Surface as more of a business device, but the RT still fell flat in that regard (wtf no Active Directory integration?), and the Pro is obscenely expensive for a device that doesn't offer any additional business features that can't be accomplished by a cheaper Windows 8 laptop. Keyboards and mice on tablets are niche features, and most people balked at the fact that a touch cover for the Surface RT costs an extra $100, which was also a pretty terrible keyboard overall. Google wasn't ready to make the same mistake, because historically Samsung charges obscene amounts of money for their accessories as well.
If given the choice between a $30 Motorola Bluetooth keyboard that requires its own batteries, or a $70-$100 Samsung keyboard that hooks into the pogo pins, I'd prefer the $30 option. I use my tablet like a tablet, and use a desktop or laptop when I need to do actual work. Trying to shoehorn my tablet into being a laptop replacement often ends in failure and disappointment, so I just accepted its limitations and moved on.

i've just ordered this keyboard. looks nice.

At last!!! I've been checking this accessories subforum since the Nexus 10's release waiting for one. I wonder if I can sell my logitech keyboard that I never use. Please please let us know how it works. Kind of can't believe it took this long

also, you can find it cheaper here:

i discovered this link after i ordered...but in my case it's the same thing due to shipping cost to Europe.
edit: as soon as i receive the keyboard, i would let you know how is working.

I see now that minisuit has changed the picture to the black one - it was originally the brushed aluminum - so this should be a fun wait and see experience.

I received an email today saying they are out of the black ones until next weekend if I want to wait or they can send me a silver now. Either way they're offering a 20% refund for the inconvenience. I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet. I wanted the black one.

I noticed from the pictures that this clam-shell keyboard and the other 2 i found on amazon all have a big piece of plastic that sticks out right in front of the space-bar key... i suppose its necessary for it to close properly with the N10....
When anyone gets it, please let us know if it get on the way of typing normally!
Thanks!

Not bad but I would rather stick with the original which you can get for $35 on amazon. They should have done something different with this knockoff version. I don’t like the LLC written in the band and not sure if its due to the pictures or what but it doesn’t seem as visible as the original. I would however like to see a review on this thou.

From the inside case image, it seems missing the chip set. I wonder it will working it not.

20 bucks for a copy is still to much

This went up on ebay today http://www.ebay.com/itm/151362252934
Looks pretty nice. A little worried that it doesn't show any pics of it with the phone but whatever its covered by ebay's guarantee and after buying a pouch for my phone i had some extra and thought "why not?" Hopefully it comes soon and I can tell you all if it works well or not.

mheera clearly is the seller and is just advertising it here. He/she didn't 'Find' anything. 18.88 is still way overpriced for a replica.
