Finding a nice keyboard for my Nexus 7 that doubles as a case shows worrying signs of becoming something of an obsession. The other day I spotted a Bluetooth keyboard that clips onto the front of the tablet to protect both screen and keys. Very neat, I thought, and only 20 sovs, so I ordered it up.
It arrived the day before the estimated time (another gold star for postie!) and first impressions were very positive. Build quality is not exactly up to Asus standards but excellent for the price. 
To my surprise, the makers had taken the trouble to copy the rubbery back of the Nexus on the bottom of the keyboard, so they match when put together. A nice touch. The tablet fits neatly and securely on the keyboard but is easy to remove when needed. In use, the tablet sits in a slot behind the keys, making the whole thing stable even when you are prodding the touch screen.
Pairing the two together was faultless. So far so good.
Then, of course, I discovered the keys are just that little bit too small. The caps lock in particular is next to the A key so I am always finding MYSELF SHOUTING. For some reason, the O key is particularly difficult to get.
Also, there is still NO BLOODY £ KEY.
I can't really complain about this, because I knew damn well these would be problems when I bought it. But it means that it is NOT PERFECT, and the QUEST GOES ON.
