I just receive this email from Clove
""We regret to inform you that we are stopping the global launch of BKC50. The background is that the closing magnet had to be removed as it affected the sleep mode/wake up function of the tablet, which consequently implied a risk that tablet would fall out when carried. This decision is fully aligned within SOMC top management. We are looking into a potential back-up solution and will inform you as soon as we have more clarity about this. We apologies for any inconvenience caused."
Need to look elsewhere it seems.

I received the same one..
I orderd from ebay some keyboard case but a chip one..
Aw dammit, I really looked forward to the BKC50. But I'm sorta glad I discovered the issue before ordering the BKC50 from Japan.
Apparently, a seller on Rakuten is still selling it: http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/pure-m/item/4582345076033/?s-id=borderless_browsehist_en
There's also a different keyboard case, the BKC10, which seem to be just the bluetooth keyboard, with some sort of "cover" for the keyboard itself. And when the cover is unfolded, you can use it as a stand for your Z2 phone or tablet.
I might just go with the regular Style Cover Stand SCR12 & Bluetooth Keyboard BKB10.

It appears that the BKC10 isn't actually attached to the tablet. Instead, it's only a stand when it's "opened" with the keyboard laid out.
While the BKC50 is actually a proper 'case', as in the BKC50 is attached to the tablet, and can be used with, or without the keyboard (the keyboard can be removed). It also functions as a stand when it's opened.

I genuinely think this is a mistake; it's the BKC10 that has issues, while BKC50 is "fine", since BKC50 has plastic clips to hold/secure the tablet. I probably should email them.

Just what im looking for to, think ive read somewhere that gpsforless may be stocking them, but there is still no confirmed date.
Anyone know where and when these will be available.
A case or skin for this would be great.
I am awaiting a silicone case myself, but for now, I use the stock case without the keyboard. It still works good, IMO.
I was hoping that Vaja Cases would have one but it may end up that we're at the next great device before they come out with one. We'll see.
I like the look of this case:
http://www.pielframa.net/prodi.asp?id=465
I have confirmed that it will fit the device without the keyboard.
The issue obviously is the magnetic strip on the device itself. Can this be be removed? If so then there is no risk to credit cards etc and I will be happy with both the device and the case...

Uhm...interesting...but if it'd have a belt clip too it would be better...because this way it'd have Bible-carry effect.
...I was watching to this model http://www.pielframa.net/cartridge_cesta.asp. Did you check if its dimension fits to X7500?
today i see a great product. a side flip leather case with bt keyboard inside,
it is design for hd2 specially. the keyboard cannot be taken out n use mini usb to charge
i think this will be super for my leo!!
however i still get a hold on it because
1. its a bit heavy when i put my leo inside
2. the leather case is very old fashion
3. it is a bit expensive @hkd400
i hope more manufacturer will use this idea to make more similar product
any photos?
If this is not a joke, could you please post a link? That would be great...
Link please?

Closest I found so far:
http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?i...8&um=1&hl=en&safe=off&sa=N&ndsp=18&tbs=isch:1
'Ultra-slim Credit Card-Sized Bluetooth Keyboard
"Similar to the Freedom Mini Bluetooth keyboard, this Freedom Slim keyboard lets you add qwerty input to non-qwerty phones—the iPhone, perhaps?
The keyboard itself has Moto RAZR-ish design, including blue or orange backlight and magnetic pads to go with its included case. It's good for 4 hours of use and 100 hours standby and can be recharged via mini USB. May not be useful for most people, but great for those who do a lot of texting." Via Gizmodo.

I love the idea of the keyboard intergrated into the case. Well done to KDenilson for finding the link. I've e-mailed the company for cost/ordering info. I'll post the info once I hear back if someone hasn't already done so.

this case/keyboard combo would be great. I'm very interested in this. Let us know if you get a reply back about ordering information. I'm already missing my touch pro qwerty, but love the screen size on this hd2. this case, keyboard combo would be the perfect solution. I just hope it won't hurt battery life too much.
Cool idea. Reminds me of my old Athena with the magnetic keyboard.
Hey,
I usually post in the Nexus S forum, where I review cases (done quite a few now) - I picked up a tab last week and was just wondering if anyone would be interested in me posting reviews here as well. I usually allow people to suggest cases as well!
Just seeing if enough people are interested since tab isn't that new.
Thanks!
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Yes I am, because I'm looking for a new case for my Tab
Ef-c980nbecstd
I have this case except for one thing, mine has a flap to cover the front as well.
http://www.google.com/products/cata...=X&ei=zjrKTZa5J8rZ0QGq3ZznBw&ved=0CE0Q8wIwCA#
model number is different, mine in EF-C980NBECSTD, which, when I google it, gives back no results. ..... now it does! http://www.spotit.com.au/buy/80133_GALAXY_TAB___KEYBOARD_DOCK_EF_C980NBECSTD.aspx
mine is also made is korea, better than china, my opinion.
Yes, I've been on the look out for a case with a keyboard as well.
Could you review this one please?
Most of the customer reviews are giving it a one star which is very harsh I don't like the other similar one as much, it relies on a magnetic flap to prop it up. Doesn't look as good

I'm trying to find some for the Zenu case, They are pretty expensive and the only Youtube review is in Spanish. You can find them on Ebay and Amazon, there is several options on color and material too.

Thanks for the help guys.
I've been reading through the various case threads and many folks, myself included, want a case that specifically supports portrait mode. There are quite a few on Amazon that do this, either by rotating or with velcro. I've used this search (http://www.amazon.com/s/?url=search-alias=electronics&field-keywords=+nexus+7+case+portrait) to turn up quite a few.
Opinions? Links to other sites/cases?
I also want a case that will primarily be in portrait. I can tell you from experience that the one that says Exact (TM) 360 degree Rotary Leather case for Google Nexus 7 Android Tablet by Asus
( http://www.amazon.com/Exact-Leather...2887965&sr=1-3&keywords=nexus+7+case+portrait )
Is utter crap. It works in landscape more or less alright but it too flimsy to support it in portrait.

I've contacted the seller and they told me there is a cut out for the speaker and all other ports and features. Based on their email and customer service I have ordered it. If you want to wait until I receive mine I'll post a little review. I was once a high end luggage and leather salesman so I expect I'll be pretty brutal.

I'm looking forward to your review, extra brutal or not. I'd really like to find one that doesn't add a lot of bulk. And, TBH, I don't care a lot if it can act as a stand in landscape mode or not -- it just adds bulk. And before anyone asks, no, I don't watch a lot of videos

That one looks interesting I will be waiting for your review. I especially would like to know how it performs in portrait orientation which is my main interest because other ones that I have seen in that same style, when in portrait mode, are useless because the back is too flimsy to hold it up at all or collapse as soon as you touch the touch screen.

I had Moko brand for my old Galaxy Tab 7 Plus. Generally they're ok... Seems hood quality but I notice some of the stitching came apart after a few months.

Hey guys, they shipped and it arrived a day earlier than expected. I will definitely be buying from BSCstore again. Here's my Amazon review:
I can't believe this is only $15. I know it's fake leather and that is part of the low price but the construction seems solid. I'd give it 5 stars right out of the gate but I am waiting to see how well it wears over the next few months. Now that my N7 is covered I will be bringing it everywhere. But based on price and initial value this case is a home run.
It should provide protection if dropped or stuffed into a backpack.
The lining is soft and smooth.
As a stand it provides 3 positions in landscape and and 1 in portrait.
It feels good and secure in my hand.
The "clips" that hold the N7 do not cover the bezel, and therefore the good looks of the device, at all.
As described, all the ports and speaker are open.
Again, the construction is surprisingly good.
The swivel is smooth.
It looks good, like it should have cost a little more.
It does have a few drawbacks. None that were problematic for me but probably for others. I'll nit pick for them.
The case definitely adds bulk to the N7. The fabric ridges that hold it up for viewing add a lot so if you want that feature expect added bulk from any case that does it.
The fake leather is pretty stiff and I suspect it will crease or not wear well (just a guess).
The stylus holder isn't shown in the pictures. It is on the front and some might not find it attractive.
No clasp.
There is a cheap elastic strap inside which I guess could be used as a hand strap. I think it can be better used to keep the case closed when you stuff it in a backpack. It isn't good at this job but there isn't any other option if you want to keep it tightly closed.
Tiny complaint - when it's holding the N7 in portrait it sits at about a 45 degree angle. Not ideal for me as the viewing angle isn't great for seeing it across the kitchen to see the recipes.
I'll update in a few months when I know if it will wear well. But honestly, for $15 I'd be happy to get 6 months out of it.
Thanks for the review. I'm not crazy about adding that much bulk to a small, light device but it might be a good addition for protection, particularly if you're traveling. And $15 is a great price!
I'm still looking for a case for daily use that will let me view the tablet in portrait mode. Honestly, I don't see why more people aren't looking for these. It doesn't seem like it would be difficult to build -- just make a case that opens like a steno notebook (i.e. from the TOP instead of the SIDE) and you don't have to get into the whole rotate thing. I'd spend $15-$30 for a case like that.
Can't you get on that opens like a book and flip the cover almost all the way back to do the same thing?
I've been looking for a case that probably what most people want (sleek design, light, comfortable). I'm looking for a case made of metal, something sturdy, that seals in some way, has a built in keyboard that is actually worth a damn (bluetooth or wired, either is fine). The closest example I could think of would be something akin to an Aluma-wallet, but holding the device in without obscuring the screen. And a kickstand.
Does any such case exist or am I stuck doing some welding? Every case I see is too classy or just doesn't work for me.

I am a new user and therefore cannot post external link to the product I have purchased. It is not metal I hear but the same material the N7 is made of. Am expecting this next week and purchase after reading about it on xda and seeing a YouTube video on it.

If I found the right thing, the reviews aren't very positive... saying the keyboard feels a little flimsy/breaks easily.

I put a short few lines on my impression of the IVSO case here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38130820#post38130820. I don't agree that the keyboard feels flimsy. In fact the opposite. Hope this helps.
