For the iPad, the Logitech Ultrathin is an ideal keyboard/case combo. For Windows 8, the Type Cover is excellent. I've been wanting something similar for my Nexus 7, and the various leather case set-ups like IVSO Keyboard didn't work out for me, due to too much added bulk.

Now a slew of identical bluetooth keyboard cases are out. Vostrostone, MiniSuit , Xtek, and Koolertron. I opted for the Vostrostone because Amazon could ship it immediately.

Some key points:

1. From the backs, the major difference between this case and the Nexus is the name on the back of the Nexus -the pattern, finish, feel, and size are identical.

2. The main connection is by aluminum clips instead of magnets. The case can be slightly fiddly to open up.

3. One of the clips that sticks up is centered right in front of the spacebar.

4. On/Off switch, charges with mini USB cable (not included). A charge will last for weeks.

5. No Tab key. Huge Q key. Has Alt, Ctrl, Home, Cursor keys,

6. The Nexus sits in a slot and is held by leverage, and can be in either landscape or portrait position.

7. It's reasonable to type on -if you can type on a Nexus screen, this is an improvement.

8. In the closed position, this fits into a pants pocket easily.

9. Keys are fairly solid. A bit too small for touch-typing, but fine for 2-finger typing.

I would have preferred more magnets instead of clips. For a closed case, this is pretty much ideal for portability and feel. Decent keyboard. Some improvements are possible, but for now, this looks like the best option for a Nexus 7 keyboard case.

There are not many products that fill this niche exactly, so I bought it despite some of the poor ratings.

It's cheap, so buy the cheapest one (if you feel you must try it for yourself)

it's the same re-branded product sold under a few different names anyways.

The specs on the box and the little info packet list it as a 160Ma battery. Battery capacity is usually listed as mAh (milliamp hours). It says it has a work time of 55 hours which means the battery capacity is probably more like 1600mAh.

It does NOT come with a charging cable (which is just a mirco usb )I suppose they figure you can just use your Nexus 7's cable.

It has some kind of rolling code for pairing, not a fixed code which is rather annoying too.

The on/off power switch is really cheapo and very small, you'll need to use your fingernail to switch it on and off I won't be surprised if that breaks.

Actually the keyboard keys feel rather cheap as well.

Some companies even dare to list this keyboard as Aluminum. I don't know how they get away with that.

It's plastic painted silver.

The missing TAB button is strange and rather annoying.

I knew this from the other reviews.

But until you have this keyboard and want to use the TAB key

(and you will believe me you will!),

You'll still buy this thing thinking you can deal without it.

Read the other product reviews first and strongly consider this unusually large Q key before you think you

can deal without TAB.

Oh, I'm not sure if anyone else mentioned this, but it can be paired with other bluetooth devices, ie PS3, Iphone (but not everything)...and even so, it doesn't work well, especially without a frickin tab key!

I read another review that stated the screen will shut off if you place the nexus 7 in the keyboard holder slot horizontally with the power/volume button side up (the way it should be).

It's true! What a POS! You have to put it in with the power/volume keys face down. So since it's barely useful for typing, it also barely useful as just a stand.

It's not easy to type on. Actually, I'm finding it more and more useless each time I use it. I can definitely type faster on the tablet or my phone than I can with this thing. Actually, I'm gonna do a test to see if I can type faster/better with a PS3 controller than with this (I bet I can, with less typos).

I've already taken 2 stars of my review since I've started typing this.

S***, I just realized I can't even tell if this thing is powered on or if it's connected because the useless little lights don't stay on and I can barely tell what position the power switch is in without holding in 4 inches from my face @!@ grrr.

There is a lip around the edge of the unit that prevents fingers seating well on the keys. I can work faster on the nexus touchpad.
