This review is from: IVSO® Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard Case For Google Nexus 7 Tablet (BLACK Keys) (Electronics)
What to say. Delivered within 36 working hrs and is a true little beauty. Yep, keyboard is small (but so is the Nexus 7!), clips securely as a case and easy enough to “pop open” when you need it. Keyboard has home, back and search keys and the arrow keys work in homescreen mode to switch screens / move around the dock. For the price (twenty squids with free postage) is an ABSOLUTE bargain if you want a smart external keyboard doubling as a durable case. (On the cons side yep adds weight and thickness but then a lot less than expected).

This review is from: IVSO® Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard Case For Google Nexus 7 Tablet (BLACK Keys) (Electronics)
It arrived this evening and I got it to work it quick enough. There’s not much of a manual, just connect over bluetooth with the Nexus, provide it a pass-key and then you are good to go. It will auto-reconnect after turning off and back on. And it is very similar in appearance to the Nexus. No experience with the build quality obviously, but it does look like it can take a hit or two despite the plasticy feel.
The keys are rather small and close together and that will definitely work against you if you have large hands. There’s no tab key, which I believed would not be an issue for me as the keyboard was not meant for long, continued use. So no, I won’t be writing any code on it. Nor a novel. But it is an improvement over the internal Android keyboard when typing an occasional long email, surfing or watching a movie (some keys get mapped to back, forward and pause functions in MXPlayer). It also has dedicated back, home, search keys for Android but no key for the task list.
Otherwise, well … for GPB 20 it’s a keyboard that doubles as a hard-cover and it nicely holds up the Nexus in landscape. If you want something quick and simple that looks good and gets small jobs done, get this. If you need to type a thesis or need to take daily notes in class, then don’t and get the Logitech bluetooth keyboard instead.

This is a perfect match for the Nexus 7, fast despatch and worked straight out of the box. Great for travelling and acts as stand even if not using the keyboard. Looked at others which were more bulky, this does add a little weight but not to the size as still very slim.

|Good looking, solid, not too practical but it’ll do in a pinch,
