ATTENTION!!! TO ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE TROUBLE READ THIS!!! This is an excellent value case and keyboard and looks very smart too. Most of you who have trouble getting it to work on your tablets are maybe using the wrong type of mini/micro USB adapters! You can test the keyboard by plugging it to a PC. If it works then is not faulty. First try connecting other USB devices like a USB flash memory or mouse on your USB adapter to the tablet? If nothing works then you are using the wrong type adapter! You need to try an OTG mini/micro USB B-type (depending on the tablet) with Pin#4 connected adapter cable. A USB OTG= On The Go specification have pin#4 connected (Active) on the mini/micro USB plug (Usually not connected on standard mini USB plug spec) and that is the key. You must ask the sellers of these adapters to confirm this however I found it really difficult as most sellers don’t have a clue about this! Also beware that they can specify OTG Host adapter in their description but it is not! You must confirm that pin#4 is connected on the mini or micro USB plug of the adapter. After finally getting the right mini USB OTG adapter it worked great on my Storage Options Scroll 7″ Android 2.3.3 tablet. Also USB mouse, flash memory, external hard drives work too. The tablet slipping issue is easily sorted with a piece of Velcro tape on the back. The only issue is the keyboard can scratch the screen while closed so I recommend using a piece of soft cloth between them.

Bought this to go with a Tabtech 7″ Android pad (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004RAN7VI/ref=oss_product). Works perfectly well, keeps the pad safe and secure and makes typing long emails/documents much easier than the touch screen keypad. Can’t fault it.

I wanted a case for my new Cambridge Sciences 7″ Android tablet and saw this item in my search on Amazon. It arrived within 48 Hrs, a full day before the estimated first date, which was great. The packaging was good and very asthectically pleasing.
The quality of manufacture was way above expected for the price.I fitted my new Cambridge Sciences Vector G7 tablet and plugged it in and it worked immediately, I have since found that if I disable Android keyboard in settings on my tablet it just uses the USB keyboard, so the on screen keyboard no longer pops up and obscures half of the screen, this may not work with all tablets (I have no idea because this is my first foray outside Windows PCs).
I noticed previous reviewers liked this keyboard/case but thought it needed velcro to hold the same tablet as mine securely, it doesn’t! The top clamp slides up (stiffly, nescesarily) once this is done insert the device pushing firmly down towards the lower clamps, then slide the top clamp down to contact the top of the unit then lift the lówer part of the clamp onto the tablet and slide the whole clamp down towards the unit firmly, this will hold it securely and there is little likelehood it will slip out. Very slight downside to this, it obscures the webcam but to use it push the clamp up use cam and replace clamp when finished.
All in all a great piece of kit, even more amazing at the price. Hey presto a useable mini laptop for next to no money.
PS the keyboard seems to work with any PC or laptop (The Q key on my laptop died but this keyboard operates it fine). Would definately recommend it to anyone.
