I've been looking high and low for a more generic case with included Bluetooth keyboard in it. Obviously manufacturers are not going to design this for the NookColor since it isn't even support to have bluetooth, so it has to be something more generic. I realize that the 7" Galaxy Tab is similar in size, but slightly smaller, so anything designed for the Tab specifically with no give for space is not going to work.
Has anyone found one that has worked well for them? There is one at Suntek Store (Black Leather Case with Bluetooth Keyboard for 7 inch Tablet PC
Item ID: 10010816 - I can't post a link due to not enough posts)looks promising, but my concern is that the Nook just won't fit in there.
Anyhow, thanks in advance, it would be an awesome find!

Has anyone tried using a bt keyboard case made for a larger tablet with the NC?

I've tested a keyboard pairing with BT and working fine, it's just been the fit that's been the issue. Most 10" tablet cases are far too large to put the Nook Color into.
I look the link you sent geek_riot, it's probably very functional but it kind of looks junky like that. I'll keep looking!
I also noticed that the BB Playbook is closer to the dimensions of the nook. I'm going to look into that option as well.
I've just ordered an eWonder bt case/kbd designed for the 7" Galaxy Tab. Hoping I can make it fit. We'll see. $39.99 at Amazon
I previously snagged a Logitech rf full size kbd/mouse combo MK320 that works perfectly with the Nook off a single dongle, but its way too big for travel, & I hate plugging in the dongle with the micro-to-A usb adapter.
Will report back my success/failure with the eWonder!

I can vouch for this one. It works great, solid, though typing at 90 WPM can get laggy.
Overall, 8.5 out of 10.

I'm not having a very good experience with the keyboard - paired easily enough, but the NC stops receiving input from it after 3-4 characters. No such issue with another generic handheld BT keyboard. :/
Anyone else using the eWonder having good success?

Has worked very well for me. I have no major complaints at all. Your milage may vary!
A couple of issues to note that you may find annoying. It is at least 3/8" thicker than other cases due to kbd. Also weighs noticeably more for same reason. Has no clasp on outside to hold both halves together when carrying. Also, it goes to sleep if no key is struck for about 5 min. When that happens, it disconnects from Nook. When a keystroke wakes it, it takes 20 sec or so to reconnect. Can be annoying. The up side is it is energy conservative. Im heavy user so I have to recharge the Nook daily (sometimes 2X/day). I charged the kbd 10 days or so ago when I first got it, had have not had to recharge it yet. Also, you REALLY should turn off the Android kbd when using the bt kbd!
Again, caveat emptor.

I just received this kybd but am unable to connect- it searches and finds "Bluetooth Keyboard" and then when I tap on it, it asks me for a PIN number. I tried both "0000" and "1234" as suggested but nothin doin. Also, how DO you turn off Android kbd?

I didn't have that prob. Did you enter the "0000" on the kbd immediately after you entered it on the Nook (i.e. type in 0000 and hit Enter)? Gots to enter it on both or it won't pair, & pretty quickly when prompted. Then, once it pairs & connects, you never have to enter it again.
To turn off the built-in kbd, go to Settings:Language & Keyboard, and if you are paired/connected, the Android kbd will be likely be checked, and Null kbd will be shown (that's the bt kbd). Simply click off the Android kbd. Keeps it from popping up each time you need to enter a line.
Come on B&N
haha they needa start coming out with these types of cases and accessories for the new revolution of tabletry lol
Nook BTkb Option
I just purchased a BT Keyboard designed for the "Galaxy 8.2-inch" Tablet.
It is a bit "loose" on the Nook; however, a couple of strips of the "hook" part of some two-part, adhesive-backed, Velcro(tm) tape and it nestles right into the keyboard holder and "frames up" nicely in the opening. The keyboard is a bit bigger, too -- which also helps those of us with "fat" fingers.
Anyway, no "warranty-voiding" modifications were required to either the Nook or the Keyboard to make it work. The cost was about $35...
FWIW,

hey guys what about samsung galaxy 7.7 keyboard case. the dimensions of galaxy tab 7.7 are 196.7 x 133 x 7.9 mm and nook color are 210 x 130 x 12 mm. quite close, ha?

That 13.3mm difference in length is equivalent to over half of an inch. I'm not familiar with the case you're asking about, but I can't think of many designs that fit well with tablet over 1/2" longer
alright...i just got here today: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bluetooth-K...Accessories&hash=item20c477fe0f#ht_2366wt_807
so based on a couple of hours playing with the keyboard. its not the best. kind of small. so my fat fingers double type alot. but maybe its something i can work out over time. another thing, the feedback isnt the best. it is very difficult to tell whether you actually pressed down on the key. my speed has been reduced because i cant tell if i actually pressed the key and the spacing is very small between the keys.
now, as far as fitment. it is a very snug fit!! the nook is a little fatter than the Samsung Tab 7". but it fits. a little stretching and a little cutting. no big deal. it does the job.
the leather...well..feels fake. so dont expect real leather...hehehe!!
but for 30bucks...not bad. pairing was easy. no issues there. i'll check back in when i've used it for a while.
if anyone has any questions...dont hesitate...post here or PM...
thanks!

Does anyone know of a keyboard / keyboard case for the Galaxy Note 2?
There are some nice ones available for the Note 10.1 and I think there were some for the Note 1....I know it would be small, but just for typing bigger docs one would be useful......a Google search does not reveal much?
Cheers everyone.

Not sure about a specific keyboard and case for the Note 2 specifically, but check out this Coldfustion vid on the keyboard he uses for the Note 1. I want one.....
I can't post links, so search on YouTube for a vid by Coldfustion and this: Using The Galaxy Note As A Computer

Go look for the Rii Touch 330. I just ordered one via Amazon. It's quite an amazing little fella...
I'm curious about this as well. The only thing keeping me from upgrading to this device is the lack of a physical qwerty. I see there are a TON of iPhone slideout cases, any chance the Note II gets one? And I'm not talking the clamshell like ones, I want an exposed screen with a slideout keyboard. Just praying one comes out.
Anyone find something? I am holding out on buying the phone only because I need to find a very good physical keyboard solution, ideally slider, but even a good keyboard case.
i wished i had one for my s2, and id love one for my note 2
+1
+1
want one too but a sleek one. portrait slider woukd be interesting as an option. I have seen some neat ones for iPhone 4.
remaining slim is important on a large device..
that woukd be for every moment typing.
if it also had a stand it would be interesting.
AND a nice full size foldable/slidable set for roaming productivity would be great.
what I do hope is not to see any huge cases like seen on alibaba for the note 1...pretty pointless.. then a separate foldable like the old nokia su w8 or freedom or maybe a flex keys butbfoldable would be a good companion
Hoping to hear about something like this...
iKross foldable keyboard looks awesome, but I'm looking for something that I can use in subway. Can't find any good keyboard cases for Note II...

Seems like it would need to be wider in order to hold it effectively as a single unit, but if this is some real solution that exists now, I would buy it!
It is handmade. When anybody like to see more pics, i can show you some.

bluetooth KB with case for note II
Check this out and if you buy, please let me know. I haven't yet bought a note II (budget constraints), but if you have already done so, and are interested in this case with bluetooth keyboard, I'd greatly appreciate it if you let me know how you like it. I'll try to put in a link, but I just did a search on google for "samsung galaxy note 2 case with keyboard" and I got a hit for aliexpress.com
Hey guys, I'm thinking of buying a used note from eBay but had a few questions for those who have had their notes for 2 years. One of my main concerns is the home button and does it feel like its going to last or is it wearing out? I can get the phone on eBay for $350.00 or a new one for $465.00, what would you guys do? I've had the note and note 2 before and I kind of like the n7000 better (due to the aspect ratio) and I felt that the n7000 was plenty fast enough for me, so I am set on the n7000. Thanks in advance for your opinions.

I am using my note for last 15 months. There's no problem with the home key.
Only problem is camera lens (or the glass whatever you call it) has got a couple of scratches.
I baught my Note a couple of years back! I use it daily, it's my main device, on all my activities. Work, work out, photos, browsing and gaming. In my opinion the devices' build quality is fantastic! I asure you that there has been no problem nore with the Home Button nore with any of the other hardware keys on my Note!
I strongly believe that you should go for it.
P.S.
My camera lens has no brakes or any other scratch. It' s a matter of luck i think. If the person whose device you' re going to buy was careful and was using a protevtive case, then you' ll be just fine mate! Hope that helps! Good luck!:fingers-crossed:
As long as you find a good conditioned phone its good.
I purchased mine 2nd hand and it's running fine since the past 9 months or so. Only the stylus doesn't feel right to me. But make sure it's not on a dangerous firmware. One that could brick your phone if you do a reset

I can see that they are very very similar in size. Anyone ever tried using the S6 one on an S5e? I can see that a couple of tiny adjustments may be needed but are they compatible?
Why wouldn't you use the original one?

I can get the s6 one cheaper and it has an integrated trackpad.
The cutout for camera will be different since S6 has 2 cameras.
I would be interested in seeing if this works too! As I heard that the official SGTS6 keyboard is only held on by adhesive and it does not do a very good job of it.
Out of curiosity has anyone attempted this yet? I want to purchase one but, I don't want to if it has already been proven that it isn't compatible. To my knowledge the only 'difference' should be the camera cutout. If no one has attempted it, I might go on a limb and try to be a test dummy for it. As someone previously stated, I want the integrated mousepad. I like my tab s5e keyboard a lot but, an integrated mousepad would be amazing for me. Thanks guys.
i tried to connect the s5e to the s6tab at best buy and the connection is off set a little, so the cases are not compatible with each other

Just search for GALAXY NOTE S PEN and chose the one with the highest rating. I would assume the note 20 edition with a 4.9 score would be good but it might as well be just the same as every previous note pen.
I have tried an original note 9 pen and it works flawlessly.
Bear in mind that buying the cheapest product with a lower score might not be great as the S pen might have low sensitivity. Back in the note 5 days I got me a cheap Chinese knock-off and although it worked, I had to press a bit harder on the screen than I should have had to.
Just 5 minutes ago I went onto Ebay and found a samsung pen for a note 4, for like $2. I'm going to try it and throw it away if it doesn't work well.
The trick was choosing an ugly color that nobody wanted, in my case "coffee" color I guess is not very popular, but the price changed for that color only, the other colors were like $6.
I'm hoping to use this as a temporary thing until Samsung releases the fancy full featured pen.
