combo case - Acer Iconia A500

like to find a combo case for the A500...know of one?

Explain what you mean by combo case? One with a keyboard? One that doubles as a stand? Something else?

ya, keyboard and stand...

Not yet. Acer has a case that stands (Staples if you're in the USA) and a keyboard coming out soon, but currently nothing that does both.

Any Skins for the Ameo Available Yet?

Ive been looking around and I cannot seem to find any Skins for the Ameo. I want to just take the screen about with me, without the keyboard and want a protective skin for it similar to what the Ipod has.
Anyone else using them? Seen where to buy them?

Galaxy S pro

With everyone else doing it does anyone know if Samsung a planning a upgraded S with a physical keyboard?
Ever heard of Epic 4g? If you're asking about a gsm version, there has been no news about it and I highly doubt they will make one.

like the Sprint version of Galaxy code named Epic 4G ?
Now that is a shame that would be a killer if it was 3G. Wonder why they do this CDMA only thing.
In my opinion the phone's screen is big enough to make a physical keyboard pointless. Typing on it is quite easy in landscape due to the size of the buttons.
On a smaller phone a keyboard is great but it's just not worth the added bulk here. I liked the idea of having something like the Epic 4G at first until I had my SGS for a while, now I feel no need for a physical keyboard.
On my old Nokia 5800 it was a different story, that screen was too small for me to type comfortably.
Look at pictures of the Epic 4G compared to the SGS and imagine carrying that in your pocket
the SGS is great!
but i'd still would like to have a hardware keyboard for many apps.... specially GAMES
otherwise there is no real need of a hardware keyboard
as everything works great without it
The need for a hardware keyboard.
I use my phone as a work tool as well so here are a few reasons.
Editing documents (Yes you can do this with the screen but it is far easier with a keyboard as you can see the whole screen/page)
Writing notes. (as above)
Using text boxes on web sites. (far easier as you can see and choose each box without having to scroll the small slot to get to each)
Emails and longer texts.
Much easier for cut and paste
I could go on but you get the idea.
BTW what happened to that auto correcting screen keyboard or was that just a fake?

um, that would be a big fat no. Sprint uses CDMA, like Verizon. 2g/3g/4g - it's all CDMA with Sprint.
I would buy it! I need it for NETHACK! yes. the game. but its too late right now as i'm locked in a 2 year contract. Next Time round i would definately get Keyboard if the machine at the time had it, No idea what machine will be around as 2 years is a LONG way away in phone/computer land
An interface that let you clip on a keyboard for typing or a joypad for games, or whatever else for whatever purpose would be nice. You can add things with bluetooth of course but they have to be held, carried, charged separately etc.
Why not have a second capacitive laminate type glass under the main screen that could be slid out and act as a keypad. It would add very little weight and surely must be engineer-able.

If that's right then brilliant. I can lay my hands on an old fold away Palm Treo one.

i was thinking about the same thing the old Palm Treo 3 fold super thin keyboard, forgot the model #
they don't make it anymore, it's even hard to hunt on ebay
at first i was thinking about using the lazer projected keyboard, but that one although cool, it sucks if as you can't use it in public places say like in a Bus or Subway, even on a Taxi cab
the foldable one works anywhere as long as you can put it on your laps

Pimp my Transformer

I will probably get a Prime once they are released in Sweden (need the keyboard) and by that time I'd probably only get half of what i paid anyway. So instead of selling my TF-101 I was thinking that I'd have someone pimp it for me. Any place that does those things? Anyone here who loves doing things like that? What would you do if you were going to pimp your Transformer?

get the metal rim powdercoated. build the usb dongle into the casing (hard, nobody has done it). spraypaint it.

Hahaha, I was thinking more in terms of changing camera and speakers, perhaps installing a LED for the camera, enhance mic. I guess all you can do is something with the outside, not the inside?

New case

Hi,
I bought this case :http://www.ebay.com/itm/300851036974 but it's difficult to access the button of my phone.
Do you know another case well built? I don't like ballistic because it is too big.
Thanks for your help.
No PR or anything like that. It's just my oppinion because I'm very satisfy with this case.
