Callmate Keyboard Case for Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 P3100 / P3110 / P3113 / P6200 / Tab 7.0 / P6210 (Black)


Pros:

  • The keyboard is small and compact. Ideal for travel purposes.
  • Bluetooth sync is seamless and instant.
  • The USB charging cord doubles up for my other devices as well.
  • Standard key board layout with special keys for the android system.
  • The pouch is strong, good stitching and the tab does not sag. Well designed to perfect specs of Galaxy tab 2 7.0. The angle is also perfect for optimum viewing of the screen.
 Cons:

  • The keyboard make is rubbery, and tacky.
  • The top strip is rubber and one can feel the components below that, not very safe in the instance of accidental compression.
  • The keys are placed too high and one has to really 'hit' the keyboard to type.
  • I did not find a mouse pad or a track key on the key board so... if one has to move across the screen one has to use the touch screen or the arrow keys. (More on this as i experiment further)
  • Not for people with large palms and fingers. The keys are too small and too close for comfortable typing. But then this is a mini keyboard and one has to go with the flow, if one wants portability.
Observations:
 

On the whole value for money for people on the move and use the tab for extensive email, sms and text.
Would suggest investing in an OTG and a USB full size keyboard or a Wireless full size keyboard. The system responds and works on both. I have tested both the variants and have found it easier and more comfortable. The best part with a wireless keyboard (blue tooth or RF) is that you can use both the mouse and the keyboard simultaneously. But then if we want to use the tab for for travel purposes, a full size keyboard would not be a good idea.
