Need help from someone to get this Keyboard Case from Poetic

Hi everyone,
I am writing here today because I really need help from someone of the USA to get a specific case for my Nexus 10. I unfortunately can't get it myself since they do not ship to Canada. So I was wondering if someone could order it for me and then ship it to me, I would be able to make the payment through paypal and would pay the additional shipping fees at the time of shipping!
Tell me if you can do this. Oh and take a look at this beautifull case : [search for this on amazon.com, can't post link yet] "Poetic KeyBook Removable Bluetooth Keyboard Case for Google Nexus 10 Black (With Auto Sleep/Wake Function) (3 Year Warranty from Poetic)"
Tell me what you think about this and if you can order it for me send me a PM!

I'd watch out with that case, the price seems a bit too good to be true and reviews on the same type of case made for the iPad mini say that it has issues with smart sleep/wake, draining the battery.

I see, thank you for the advice!

This one with the removable keyboard via bluetooth? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AG0D61O/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&smid=A29LLD0WGS56WE
It's currently on sale for $24.95 FSH from $69.95 (64% off). Is that what you mean by price too good to be true? How long has that price been there? If it cause problem, can't we just unplug the keyboard to avoid it until fix comes about?
I was looking at all the case, but just saw this in the extra scroll area below which is kinda interesting.

Found it in Canada's Amazon, not the same color (brown strap in Canada) but pic for pic the same design.

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.

Sweet, can't wait for a review!

Interesting. Looks identical to the Minisuit Case I order a couple weeks ago that is still on preorder:
http://www.minisuit.com/p-1723-google-nexus-10-keyboard-stand-case.aspx
Maybe it's time to cancel that order and go with Amazon.

I don't know if that would make a difference. I ordered mine a couple days ago and Amazon estimates three to six weeks for delivery. I will let you know if I get it sooner.

Thanks. I didn't cancel and will also keep you posted.
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!

So any reviews?

Yeah I have been watching these keyboards as well. I love how they snap onto the nexus to protect it. :thumbup:

I just got off the phone with Samsung. NO Replacments are being sold YET. The Gal I spoke to was really nice and found out that they should be released MID Nov, she inquired further that an internal memo said the should be ready for shipping on Nov 21st. And they will be about $30-$50. They have not yet settle on a price. She expects it to be 30 for OEM and 50 for retail package version for the stores. (Available First of DEC.)
She did say they will work for charging only they will not work for activation. (Missing the NFC inside) Should still work for file transfers for developers she said.
Hope that helps everyone out. I know I will be buying one regardless..

Edit:
Come on China (Make us a $0.99 version LOL)
Maybe I should try and find one of the MFQ's out there and have them start making them. Maybe even a better version.

WOW! That is a ridiculous amount of money - especially missing nfc (which is reprogrammable anyway). Just need to wait for cheap knock off versions (kinda surprised there are none yet; seem easy enough to make)

Realistically, don't break the original. You could wear it but that would make it prone to being destroyed.
I'm going to be super careful with mine now by placing it in my sock drawer.

Someone posted this link in another charger thread:
http://skinflint.co.uk/eu/samsung-g...ng-station-black-ee-dv700bbegww-a1003340.html
More realistic prices..

Btw just search for the part number. There are a lot of resellers out there

IMHO the charger design itself is flawed. They should have put the USB on the other side by the door hinge. That would make it far safer from damaging the charging unit. Beta tester #fail.

When my wireless charging pad and S-View Wireless Cover for my Note 3 arrives, I will be making my own Gear charger - it will be a stand-type holder for the watch. Essentially a modified open-faced charging cradle on a pedestal type stand so you can just 'hang' the watch on it instead of having to 'clamp' it in each time.
The watch is too light to sit in place correctly, but I'm working with a friend to modify the base and the pins to ensure a positive connection without risk of scratching the watch.
$30 for a cradle is ridiculous. I hope that information is incorrect. The maximum price I would consider reasonable would be $15.

Anyone know anybody that has a 3 - D printer? Be nice if we had the files and could just print one out ourselves and add the guts. I know some printing places now have 3 - D printers and will print whatever you need. I know when I win the lottery (yea right!) I want a printer.

Safe to order yet?

How is the RMA process from Amazon?

Not as of yet. I ordered from Amazon on 12-31-2013 and received them yesterday and both tablet and dock are dated 2013.10. This one is going back in hopes of a newer batch.

The dock was under review the past 2 days and now it is back for sale again...

Yep, tried to exchange it yesterday but the option to exchange was not available since it was under review. Got to exchange underway this morning.
My experience with Amazon's return policy is great. They give us 30 days to return items. And they cross ship so we dont have to ship the return back until the replacement arrives.

Till now we have still no solid proof that they solved the problem in newer batches.

What is a safe post date for the tablet and dock? I am still interested due to the full SD slot on the keyboard. This might be one if not the last model to have this feature.

Well, I ended up buying a Surface Pro instead. Too many issues with the TF701 to feel safe ordering it.

I have a Dell V11 5130 with battery keyboard and completely impressed with it. It ironically does not have an sd slot on the keyboard like the 701. In spite of this, best device I have owned and would never thought an x86 Windows device could have 15 hours of battery life (counting keyboard).
Still would like the 701 for my next Android device. I might wait for price drops.

Yeah, iv'e been looking at the Dell Venue 11 Pro (baytrail version) and it looks very good, but has no gps but enormous battery endurance (with the dock) and a exchangable Battery in the tablet!!!
Maybe wait till a faster baytrail version with 4Gb and 128Gb ssd storage will be available somewhere end of this year instead of the TF701, do have still my TF700....

After Holiday deals, I got the 5130 with battery keyboard for $532, so too good to pass up. Display looks IMO better than the 701, due to better brightness and contrast. Only a 1080P display though, but very good none the less. Equal to my iPad 4 as far as display quality. Plays Unreal Tournament 2004, Halo 1, Burnout Paradise, Street Fighter 4 Arcade and all my emulators (MAME, NullDC, PSP, PS1, etc) all smooth as butter. Best device so far I have owned besides my S4 It even powers a portable Bluray player with one USB connection and no power supply needed. Watched Zombie Land
Enough tangents- I will wait to see if I can find a 701 discounted once the other devices are released. Whenever that may be? I might hold out for a 64GB model, but rare product.

You exactly pinpoint the reasons to take a look into that device.
For me gaming is not that important since I use the tablet complementory to my laptop. When travelling (I do a lot for work) I only take the tablet due to weight reasons inside my handluggage.
Next to that the formfactor (tablet with dock with extra battery) is very important while travelling for more than 12 hrs on planes etc. were the total time of travelling sometimes goes up to 24 hrs and that is why good battery life is very important to me.
So the connection problems with the TF701 were me giving quite some problems when using it on my lap on the plane for 8 to 10 hrs vice versa to Chicago last November. Very disturbing watching a movie btw.
So when Asus not solves this problem I will use my TF700 for now and probably go for this Dell or an upgraded version with more memory. When reading about the astonishing batterylife it gave me a big smile and reading your experience made me more smile.
I would not favor an I5 or I7 version because they are not optimized for a tablet and have a fan in the tablet to cool it causing poor battery life.

Unfortunately my replacement dock from Amazon is yet another 2013.10 build with connection issues. Trying again.

do people know you can set outdoor mode for extra brightness? i find it super bright when i put that on.
if not just pull down top menu and tap the sun.
i know a user on the jp forum was complaining about this then we told him of that and hes happy now.

I suspect not

It appears Amazon is denying replacements of the keyboard dock now. When I requested a replacement for the second defective dock I received an email stating I would receive a refund rather than a replacement.
Amazon said:
Hello,
I'm sorry to hear the replacement ASUS TF701T-DOCK-AD02 Transformer Pad had the same problem as your first order. This usually doesn't happen. Since it's likely another replacement would arrive defective, I won't trouble you with another replacement.
I've requested a refund of $135.15 for the full amount of this shipment, including any shipping costs. You'll see this refund to your original payment method in the next 2-3 business days.
You can view the status of your refund in Your Account here:

Okay, I jumped the gun a bit. After a couple email correspondences with Amazon Customer Service they apologized for issuing a refund rather than an exchange. Hope I can get a newer batch as it looks like a couple others have had good luck doing so.

SAMSUNG QI Wireless Charger Stand PAD FAST CHARGE Dock for $39.99 fake?

I just bought this thing off Ebay and didn't do my homework because some people have bought other wireless chargers that were cheap like this one. I'm going to go to Best Buy and will pick up the original one to compare to the one that is coming. The one off ebay is $39.99 while the one's on BB is $69.99. Sounds too good to be true. I already contacted the seller and told them that I WILL KNOW if it's fake. I'll post my findings here so no one gets screwed like probably I did. I'm going to return it (almost certain).

Sounds too good to be true, so.....
Keep us posted.

I saw a video on YouTube where someone waswas explaining tdifferences between a fake wireless charger and an original wireless charger. There were somesome subtle differences and you could only tell by having the original and fake one side by side. I think that someone mentioned that the fake one would only do a "wireless charging", while the original one would say "fast charging", when you would put the phone (S7 edge) on the charger. Also there are power bricks that are fake too. Honestly, I would only buy these charges from BB and maybe B&H. Not even AMZN, because there have been fake ones in there too. I'll pick up the original one probablyprobably today from BB. The one from Ebay is coming tomorrow, but I'm not holding my breath.

OK, so I just picked up the original wireless charger pad for $75 at the local BB. Now I have to wait for the one coming from eBay. I also bought a car charger that is supposed to be from Samsung too, but BB doesn't carry that one. I'm also weary about the car charger. It sucks to have to deal with this, but it is what it is.

Update: just tested the car charger bought from Ebay (hopefully original Samsung charger). My phone does say "fast charging", so I'm thinking that is a good sign.

I've just recently taken delivery of four of these (black) sold and shipped by Amazon.com LLC for $36.34 a piece.
They are quite genuine. Not sure why anyone would want to risk eBay when those are available.

Some of the stuff I buy from eBay ends up coming from Amazon. But anyways, after carefully looking at the one that came from BB and the one that came from Ebay, the Ebay one seems original, but it almost looks used (the BB one looks more glossy, if that makes sense). Also the chargers look slightly different. The Ebay one has a V in the back, while the BB one has a VI. Also, the packaging is different too, so I'll probably be returning both and buying one from AMZN like it was mentioned above. Even at AMZN you have to be careful because some sellers do slip fake chargers in there too. So bottom line, don't get this from Ebay.

Precisely why I referenced Amazon.com LLC as the seller. Maybe others have had an experience dissimilar to mine, but I've never received a fake product from them - and even if it were to happen, has anyone ever had them deny a legitimate return?
With Red Weasel Sales (TM) you take your chances. Maybe you'll win, maybe you'll get burned.

If you find out it's real, and there's more, please post up links. Nobody wants to pay full price lol.
