@Cinoclav I have one of the old-school nooks with e-ink with the tiny touch screen on the bottom. In theory you can do things besides read books but it's not really practical. I don't have a nook color, which I agree, is a tablet. I bought it on woot, actually!
@CrossIT at first blush, it kinda looked like a tampon...I had not seen the baby arm on here before. Thanks, now after taking a close look, I am no so grossed out and bewildered :)
@dtaber1 sorry, dt- the design's from a limited run shirt site, and this one's gone- but the design itself is timeless. google search yielded no joy, so unless they do a reprint...
Finally the truth comes out, and they put the ebay price in the breakdown. BUT....They didn't go with actual completed listings......a meh employee could have made that listing and set whatever BIN price they wanted.......Not to mention your typical eBay scalpers.
I got a "cut off the case" keyboard to use with my surface pro. For anyone thinking to use an android keyboard with Windows.... they don't have f1-f12 keys (and a couple other important ones depending on use). Turns out that's important
@mikehammer Thanks for seeing the glass half full angle. However, glass half empty trolls will see a power bank that is too big and a Bluetooth keyboard that is too heavy. ;-)
@mediocrelab I get what people would be (and are) talking about, but this is a nice two-birds-one-stone deal at a really good price. (Three birds if the case fits your device) I guess I've never really understood complaining about things like this. Some deals are great for some, not great for others. Welcome to life. (I say that with love)
First eBay search shows this product at 29.97 BIN.
Has anyone else noticed that when you search for sold listings of these offbrand meh items the oldest one is almost always in November? As if they sold one or two of each to establish a sales history? Of course they could have set a highish BIN, then had someone else buy it, to make it look like it would be a good resale opportunity.....
@givemeyoursoul Please read Fuku threads. Meh prefers selling to end users, not eBay resellers. Meh plans to add Captcha to prevents bots from hogging the good deals.
@Cinoclav Then just pick up some power banks separately ... next week? Meh has offered various ones over time, and it seems that they're due for them again.
@communist I actually don't need one myself, but I think they'd sell a ton of these if the power bank was separate. As for Five Below, it's based in Philly so I have lots and lots around. Factoid - Five Below was started by the guy who started Encore Books and Zany Brainy toys, which I once temped for. Dude has made some pretty good career choices.
@Cinoclav isn't that the point for Meh - to combine stuff that a result is worth less than the sum of its parts? There are plenty of other sites that sell good stuff that is worth more than the sum of its parts!
Awesome stuff, I'll carry them both around in my wallet so when keyboard 1 runs out of juice, I always have keyboard 2 ready to to give keyboard 1 a boost, so keyboard 2 can then charge keyboard 1. But wait, they don't fit in my wallet.
Never mind, I'll just schlep around with my generator in case my iPhone runs out of battery..
Meh. I'm hoping one of these all help me make my 8" windows tab worthwhile. What, I can dream! Shut up!
I'd be happier if it came with a fuku. I'd probably hate everything in it but I still want one. I don't even know what that says about human culture or instincts, but I'm not proud of it.
So there is an implied promise here that the Meh Vermont American saw will arrive (assuming you ordered it) within days of these keyboards so you can excise the case portion, right?
@jose602 heh… Unless you live near San Diego, I don't know if the shipping would be worth it. Besides, I was going to give the mini one to a friend of the Warden. :-)
@MaddogBrenner I was brave and tried it myself. That was the first result with Safe Search off. With Safe Search on, even this is filtered out. I really enjoyed this one that was down the results list a little:
@SSteve Yeah, I did the same search this morning. I have to admit it was an amazing results list,and not in the way I thought it would be... If you know what I mean.
Fun-Garled-Salsa Baby arm sold me.....Damn you baby arm!!! I still haven't received my 60 neoprene cases yet. ...hey maybe I will get one or two I can put this crap in.... I wasn't a lucky one to get free VMP so now I guess feel like I have to get my money's worth of useless crap.....oh and I am doing just that!!
I will pretty much buy anything if you price it under $20 with free shipping. My order history backs this up. Anyway in for the iPad air and the 7inch cases. I look forward to storing these on a bed of neoprene.
@khunjeff: Bummer. I'd buy two if I thought there was any chance it would fit my Nexus 7. I still have the sawed-off keyboard from the last go-round, so it doesn't make much sense to buy this if I can't use it as a case. Thanks for the info.,
@magic_cave I guess I'll find out when it arrives? Theoretically, it should - first gen Nexus 7 is roughly 7-3/4" x 4-3/4", and the dimensions listed for the universal keyboard set is 8" x 5-1/2".
@SSteve the glorious baby arm generates enough electricity to power our building (and the Frito Lays across the street), we try not to think about how.
Seems like this would buy an autobuy for any tablet owner, but I do not own one and probably won't for a while. I got a retina iPad when they came out and ended up returning it. Too many of my couch/in-bed use cases require a keyboard and full OS.
I ordered this in large part to see how many undelivered orders I could have from Meh at one time...I am currently up to 5. Hopefully they all arrive the same day so I can remain married...
@jzmacdaddy A Ginormous box would be just fine with me...heck, I have offered to just back up to their dock and they can load it in my truck...save shipping expense etc.
@tightwad it is becoming clear to me - Meh is an off-shore Ponzi scheme by FedEx and the Post Office to generate more, not Less shipping volume. I ordered two of those dandy white Kershaw knives on separate orders... Thinking they'd combine the order. Nope. Two separate shipments. ;-)
@narfcake but it would be easy for the order system to merge the orders into one and save the duplicate shipping cost. No manual effort required. I suspect it is on their to do list but hasn't been addressed due to other I/T priorities.
Anything for a 10.1"? kinda stuck with that. don't care for anything with that fruit on it, I think is called an Apple. Especially one that's been eaten off of.
These look like the rubberized models. Shopko has the bt keyboard (no charger batt) cases for $6.99 but the keystrokes will often ddoubble or triippple. Yuck. Maybe if these were chiclet and not rubberized.
I have a couple of questions. It has been mentioned that it is too heavy to carry around? How heavy is it? And bigger and more important are the cases hard or soft? I don't know how twill can be sturdy? I love my slim style belkin cause it is tough but the last belkins were soft side and can't stand up to the backpack.
i keep wanting to get a new ipad air (prolly gen 1) and a keyboard case... well the cart before the horse, but whatever now i have reason for the ipad!!!
I just ordered it but it shows My credit Zip code is wrong. So I tried it again for sure and it said same thing. But from my credit card I got text you already charged me twice!? But I can't see anything in my order! What's going on? Please let me know..;-(
I have a Nook Tablet (tia for the sympathy cards), it is 8" - while this seems to be an adequate length for my personal use, I don't think this is the protection I am looking for :( meh
In case you were about to bite on the ipad mini one, sears has the Ihome equivalent on clearance for 8.97 per. Free shipping on 2 if you have their silly membership, or in store pickup if they happen to have them nearby. It works out to be the same price for 2 much better Ihome case/keyboards. No battery charging capacity though.
I keep hoping you will sell a keyboard case that will fit my Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro. The Ipad Air one you have here appears to be just a teeny bit too small, just like the keyboard case I bought from you guys a while back. I am debating the merits of tearing it apart and resetting the frame versus just bitng the bullet and paying $20 for one on EBay.
@moondrake almost picked up a Tab Pro 8.4 when Best Buy was selling them cheap over the holidays. Didn't pull the trigger but research at that time lead be to believe I would be stuck with a proprietary Sammy case due to the lesser sales volume of that model.
@RedOak There are a fair number of keyboard cases and regular cases for sale on EBay, the vendors say they will fit. I got a regular case that fits fine for $2.49, in fact. I picked up my tablet on a Woot off on BF weekend. It's a nice tablet, but unexpectedly doesn't stand up as well as I'd expected to the 13.3" Hannspree I had. It's not much more than half as big and a bunch of my games don't run properly on it, despite a friend who actually understands Android tackling them for me. Strange, I thought I'd get increased functionality upgrading to a respected brand.
@moondrake the 'issues' with the Samsung are surprising. Never had any with ours I but none of them are the Pro model. I avoid buying something like a case on eBay unless I can find credible reviews elsewhere. There are some incredibly crappy cases out there. The case is something we'll touch many times per day so it must be of respectable quality.
I just thought of a couple more questions. If this has a battery does the keyboard run off the battery or do you have to charge both the keyboard and the backup battery? and Am I reading it correctly all the 7" are gone?
@silverqueen Yes. The 7" have sold out. That makes me feel really good about myself for buying something that sold out. It justifies me wasting my money on something I don't want or need.
I bought the two-for Tuesday version in October and it is excellent. It works fine with my Samsung tablet, althought the case does not fit (it was clear in the description that it would not fit).
@brianmc1975 I have a Samsung 10 inch tablet, so the other one, which is different, did not fit (it was close). But the keyboard alone is light and I carried it in the bag with the tablet.
I would probably get this if I could have chosen 1 of each... We have an iPad air and a mini. Kinda like you did with the JBL micro speaker docks a while back where you could mix and match...
I have no idea how I'm going to use this, but for some reason I ordered it anyway. Wife will give me that "WTF?" look yet again. defeated-majestic-pail Sorry, that's the best I could do with this order number
I just got my Meh T-Shirt the other day, so I am waiting to have my shipments catch up before I start buying again. (I also may be a little bitter about the Fuku incident)
TL DR.. But the Ebay price comparison is way off.. Anyone can list an item for ANY price.. What is actually SELLS for is the point. These are averaging about $22 each there... Shipped.
I had a some situations where I wished my phone had a full on keyboard recently, and the power bank sold me on it. In for one trustworthy-last-destruction, these things better be trustworthy.
@benstory There should be a small white box inside the packaging. I almost missed it to, but there is a sticker that says "HEY! Don't forget the cables inside" with an arrow. Almost felt like I dummy. haha
I powered mine up and paired it with my iPad mini. Typed about 4 letters and it stopped and the onscreen keyboard popped up. Ok. This happens. Tried to pair again from bluetooth settings. No dice. Tried to enter pairing mode on the keyboard. The bluetooth light is lit up solid blue and won't go off...for anything. I also can't turn it off because it's just stuck on. So I currently have it charging my iPad in hopes that once the battery is dead I can charge it up and it will start over. Anyone else having issues?
Just got the iPad Mini cases, and I must say, they suck big time. A couple things that are worth noting:
No way to prop up the iPad.
The flap the keeps the case closed dangles over the iPad screen.
Those two are the biggest dealbreakers. Otherwise I could complain about the keys being to hard to push and no indication of when the battery is fully charged.
@Wamzlee Agreed on all counts. Added: they're heavy. Yes, that's the battery part, but...seriously, no way I'd want to carry this around on a regular basis.
Just got mine. Trying to figure out what the USB adapter is meant for... seems highly unneeded.
That said, don't buy it for the small, rubber keyboard but as a case with extra power for that long plane ride, I still think it's a good deal at 9 bucks.
@simulant I think you are referring to the USB "Charging Cable" which you use to plug into the USB Wall Charger then use the micro-usb end to plug into your tablet port to charge it... I think that is what you are referring to.
@fjp999 No, there's a little male/female standard usb dongle in addition to the charging cable. Its about an 2 inches long an is standard usb mail on one end and female on the other.

@andipandi Exactly. I just got mine and it sucks. An the iPad wants to tip over when you are typing. And the close flap wants to hang in front of the iPad. I will consider this a travel case with an extra battery and that is all.
This is me typing really slowly. More slowly than i can do on the onscreen keyboard andd wiihh llotss oo bcspcces foor the dooblee lletterss gha ii can;t takkee it anyymoore!
Just got the case today. Didn't come with the sort keyboard to tablet charging cable and the instructions are only in french. I don't even know how to turn on the Bluetooth for the stupid thing. Help?
was this supposed to come with a short charging cable that runs from my ipad to the charger? if so mine is missing. Plus trying to type a question mark is ridiculous on this thing!
I was gonna say, "Hey! At least you people got working cases!" because neither of mine works (both arrived DOA), but after reading of the travails and drawbacks you're all having, I now think I got the better end of the deal.
At least you guys got ones with keyboards. Both of mine were just batteries crappily made into cases... Contacted meh and they referred me to submit a warranty claim... ugh
.@smartalec0607 I finally got around to using my Justin keyboard case for my iPad Air. The keyboard is pretty wonky & tough to use. You're probably better off without keys.
I thought about selling mine but the power bank could be handy and I can't imagine inflicting the keyboard on anyone else. I might be able to turn it into a (paper) notebook holder or something.
Both of mine for the iPad Air stopped working within a few days. Meh told me to contact ithomeproducts.com and I did on Feb 25th. Nothing. Not even a "yeah, we got your email and we'll get around to it one day" email.

@VeeDubTDI I like purple, but @Barney loves purple, or so I'm told.
I love purple.
@mediocrebot
@mediocrebot selling nothing but meh until the 2 months of free shipping runs out, eh?
@unixrab that doesn't look purple.....would you buy it if it was purple?
@mediocrebot Would be nice if you had a 10.1" case similar to this!
@saodell dude there was a futo, what more did you want?
@mediocrebot simular one at walmart $22.50 http://www.walmart.com/ip/Innovative-Technology-ITJ-4241U-Justin-Case-Universal-Fit-Rechargeable-Power-Case-for-8.9-10.1-Tablets-Grey/39443642 walmarts version has a 11,600mah battery bank

@unixrab Nice selfie dude.
@cengland0 Thanks!! The twirl required a lot of hair gel
Nope, i fell for the bluetooth keyboard and tablet case last time you sold them. they just sit around gathering dust now...
@axleman1011 But you can use these to charge your other Bluetooth keyboards! It's like a never ending cycle of Bluetooth keyboards!
@dins Bluetooth Centipede? I like it!
@dins good point, in for 3
@axleman1011 Mine gathered dust until the white elephant christmas party arrived.
I like purple.
Alaways a pleasure, @Barney
meh
Nope dont need one
or two
bath
@Sane stop
@etiRkca bath^2
No thanks! Hope this crap is not in my FUKU!!!!
@lcastil1 ohnoireallyhopenot i hope not
Meh. I've got a desktop, a laptop, a netbook, a nook and a phone. I don't need a tablet.
(if I could afford one I'd probably have an ipad)
((I'm so ashamed))
@HELLOALICE Technically a Nook IS a tablet.
@HELLOALICE sounds like you need one just to complete the set. It's the only thing you're missing.
@HELLOALICE I thought I didn't need a tablet either, then I got one. Tablets rule.
@Cinoclav Especially if you install Cyanogenmod on the Nook Color.
@Cinoclav And also not a Kindle or a good tablet. And it has a 'n' for a home button.
I dislike nooks
@JonT agreed when it comes to tablets, you need to own one for a while to understand why you need one
@communist True dat!
@HELLOALICE
I have a server, a desktop, a laptop, a Chromebook, a netbook, a tablet, and a phone. I know the feeling.
@communist I've got two (hp touchpad and galaxy note 12) and I really don't need either of them.
@Cinoclav I have one of the old-school nooks with e-ink with the tiny touch screen on the bottom. In theory you can do things besides read books but it's not really practical. I don't have a nook color, which I agree, is a tablet. I bought it on woot, actually!
Shit. Twofer Tuesday is back, dirty temptress. Welp, better get in for a two pack for no fucking reason. Damn.
@studerc I'll just blame @joelmw for you forgetting to buy 3 2 packs like you usually do.
@dashcloud @studerc
MEJJJJJJJJJJHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
even with baby arm NO
@CrossIT at first blush, it kinda looked like a tampon...I had not seen the baby arm on here before. Thanks, now after taking a close look, I am no so grossed out and bewildered :)
@alacrity where can I got one of these t's
@dtaber1 sorry, dt- the design's from a limited run shirt site, and this one's gone- but the design itself is timeless. google search yielded no joy, so unless they do a reprint...
Finally the truth comes out, and they put the ebay price in the breakdown. BUT....They didn't go with actual completed listings......a meh employee could have made that listing and set whatever BIN price they wanted.......Not to mention your typical eBay scalpers.
@givemeyoursoul the bottom is about to fall out of the eBay price...
@VeeDubTDI lol
Any idea if an iPad 2 or 3 would fit in the air version?
@deadlybunny It would not. The iPad Air line is significantly smaller than the iPad 2, 3 or 4th gen.
@deadlybunny seconded
@thebestbutler Thirded.
Yay! Baby arm compatible! But do I need another one, or two as the (Justin) case may be?
meh..
I think I know how the baby arm became disconnected from the baby.
Mehhhbe...
Do I really need this!?
@ralphieeek no
@ralphieeek Absolutely not. So have you ordered it yet?
@peaceetc Me either, in for 2 fer...
nope nope nope
I got a "cut off the case" keyboard to use with my surface pro. For anyone thinking to use an android keyboard with Windows.... they don't have f1-f12 keys (and a couple other important ones depending on use). Turns out that's important
@giroro if they would do a decent bt kbrd w touchpad and fkeys....
Wallyworld has them for $22.53ea. 7 reviews, two 4 star and five 1 star...
@bendsnow small difference http://www.walmart.com/ip/Innovative-Technology-ITJ-4241U-Justin-Case-Universal-Fit-Rechargeable-Power-Case-for-8.9-10.1-Tablets-Grey/39443642 walmarts version has a 11,600mah battery bank
Baby Arm
OMFG I WANT
No, wait. I don't.
In for 1 set of 2. I travel a lot so this will be nice and I need a tablet case and my phone is always dying and I can sell the second one for $20
Now you know why they gave the free vmp....in for one....um, I mean two....no, I mean one....darn it.
At least I can use this to charge my Sansa....oh, you mean Meh doesn't do Sansas? AIIIEEEEE;;;;;;;;;
@eeterrific MEH.COM != WOOT.COM
Does it fit a iPad mini 2?
@StrangerDanger mini, mini2, mini3. It makes no difference as far as a case goes.
I think the plan is to sell nothing but meh until the 2 months of free shipping runs out
@saodell And then they'll sell more meh... Enjoy the ride
@saodell if you think the products we're going to sell after 2 months are going to be significantly better, you may be in for a surprise.
@JonT At least you guys live up to your name.
@JonT YEAH!!! More speaker docks!
If nothing else it's worth the price for the power banks with a bonus Bluetooth keyboard for whenever it's convenient. Not a bad deal at all.
@mikehammer Thanks for seeing the glass half full angle. However, glass half empty trolls will see a power bank that is too big and a Bluetooth keyboard that is too heavy. ;-)
@mediocrelab I get what people would be (and are) talking about, but this is a nice two-birds-one-stone deal at a really good price. (Three birds if the case fits your device) I guess I've never really understood complaining about things like this. Some deals are great for some, not great for others. Welcome to life. (I say that with love)
@mikehammer It's not real complaining...it's entertainment.
with 10+ 7" tablets in our house, hopefully 1 of these gets used.
@tightwad How did someone who chose the moniker "tightwad" end up with 10+ tablets in your household?
@jose602 Irony?
@Kyser_Soze Nah. Wishful thinking.
First eBay search shows this product at 29.97 BIN.
Has anyone else noticed that when you search for sold listings of these offbrand meh items the oldest one is almost always in November? As if they sold one or two of each to establish a sales history? Of course they could have set a highish BIN, then had someone else buy it, to make it look like it would be a good resale opportunity.....
@givemeyoursoul ooh, conspiracy theories! Not what I was expecting, but good game anyway.
@givemeyoursoul That's because the eBay completed listings search only goes back two or three months! Actually, 90 days I think?
@givemeyoursoul Please read Fuku threads. Meh prefers selling to end users, not eBay resellers. Meh plans to add Captcha to prevents bots from hogging the good deals.
@mediocrelab Yes I saw the capthcha on the last fuku.
slick-melted-banshee
Wait...can you use these things to charge each other?? Say you have two...and one runs out of power...can you charge it from the other one???
@eeterrific Ummm...isn't that incestuous? (Can you say the "i" word on meh and not get into trouble? Really NSA, I don't mean it....)
@eeterrific That only works if you're a humanites major.
Maybe if the power banks were separate, but the keyboard makes it a little too big to carry around.
@Cinoclav if you can cut off the case, can you also cut off the keyboard?
@Cinoclav Then just pick up some power banks separately ... next week? Meh has offered various ones over time, and it seems that they're due for them again.
@Cinoclav if you have a 5 or below store nearby, they sell power banks for $5 i bought a 6600mah one for $5.40
@communist I'm hoping that tax pushed you to $5.40, otherwise they need to change their name to "5ish or kinda below".
@communist I actually don't need one myself, but I think they'd sell a ton of these if the power bank was separate. As for Five Below, it's based in Philly so I have lots and lots around. Factoid - Five Below was started by the guy who started Encore Books and Zany Brainy toys, which I once temped for. Dude has made some pretty good career choices.
@Cinoclav isn't that the point for Meh - to combine stuff that a result is worth less than the sum of its parts? There are plenty of other sites that sell good stuff that is worth more than the sum of its parts!
Awesome stuff, I'll carry them both around in my wallet so when keyboard 1 runs out of juice, I always have keyboard 2 ready to to give keyboard 1 a boost, so keyboard 2 can then charge keyboard 1.
But wait, they don't fit in my wallet.
Never mind, I'll just schlep around with my generator in case my iPhone runs out of battery..
Meh. I'm hoping one of these all help me make my 8" windows tab worthwhile. What, I can dream! Shut up!
I'd be happier if it came with a fuku. I'd probably hate everything in it but I still want one. I don't even know what that says about human culture or instincts, but I'm not proud of it.
@brainmist Great...remember, pride goeth before the fall...
@eeterrific yay! fall proof!
@brainmist how much did you pay for your 8in windows tab? i bought a winbook tw700 for $60
@communist lol. Way too much. $150 for a Dell Venue 32gb. I had a gift card I absolutely had to burn.
@brainmist I have a 10.1" Win 8 tablet that I use for random Internet stuff and gaming and I love it.
@communist And I got in on this specifically for my TW700, too.
So there is an implied promise here that the Meh Vermont American saw will arrive (assuming you ordered it) within days of these keyboards so you can excise the case portion, right?
@RedOak There might be an implied promise that we'll get the meh Vermont American saw even if we didn't order it. But I'd bet there isn't.
@joelmw and by that reasoning, we'd get an extra Arm as well! ;-)
@RedOak Well, yeah. There's that. :-)
Meh.
I like my iPad mini case so I'm not switching. Keyboard and deal does look decent though.
Man, if only I could get one for the iPad Air, and one for the iPad mini. (Anyway the Meh gods could make that happen??)
@haydesigner I got the iPad Air cases. If you get the iPad Mini cases, I'll seriously trade you one!
@jose602 heh… Unless you live near San Diego, I don't know if the shipping would be worth it. Besides, I was going to give the mini one to a friend of the Warden. :-)
@haydesigner I'm in Phoenix & I'll be in SD in February! Or we could just meet in Yuma. No worries, though!
Two-fer-Tuesday?
Nope, not this time.. Thanks.
airy-turbulent-cougar
Two very questionable purchases in a row. This is why I'm a goat, I suppose: lack of good judgment. Also, consoling myself for the fuku that got away.
No, it doesn't make sense. Yes, it's a sickness.
meh
I hate you 2fertuesday: big-obsessed-beaver
@givemeyoursoul I guess that google image search could have been worse...
@JonT Yeah, I wonder if Safe Search was on.
@JonT yeah I was surprised.
@MaddogBrenner I was brave and tried it myself. That was the first result with Safe Search off. With Safe Search on, even this is filtered out. I really enjoyed this one that was down the results list a little:
@SSteve Yeah, I did the same search this morning. I have to admit it was an amazing results list,and not in the way I thought it would be... If you know what I mean.
I was interested until I found out they work on 7 inch tablets only. Mine is an Asus 10.1 so this would not work for me.
@JT954 I have one for an Asus 10" tablet if you need one...

Baby arm sold me.....Damn you baby arm!!! I still haven't received my 60 neoprene cases yet. ...hey maybe I will get one or two I can put this crap in.... I wasn't a lucky one to get free VMP so now I guess feel like I have to get my money's worth of useless crap.....oh and I am doing just that!!
good deal.
too bad i just bought a bluetooth keyboard for $1.04
12 hours ago http://www.ebay.com/itm/201263080629?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
@communist… who is Sam?
@haydesigner im guessing the guy wanted to say samsung 10in but the ebay title limit cut him off
@haydesigner I beieve it is Sam Iam - he sold me a cool hat last week and it even came with a cat!
If I could buy one at half price, I'd be sold.
I will pretty much buy anything if you price it under $20 with free shipping. My order history backs this up. Anyway in for the iPad air and the 7inch cases. I look forward to storing these on a bed of neoprene.
Anyone know if the case will hold a Nexus 7 (1st gen)?
@magic_cave I haven't found a photo of the 7" version anywhere to judge what its size/dimensions might be
@khunjeff: Bummer. I'd buy two if I thought there was any chance it would fit my Nexus 7. I still have the sawed-off keyboard from the last go-round, so it doesn't make much sense to buy this if I can't use it as a case. Thanks for the info.,
@magic_cave It should, the 7" is a generic fit.
@magic_cave I guess I'll find out when it arrives? Theoretically, it should - first gen Nexus 7 is roughly 7-3/4" x 4-3/4", and the dimensions listed for the universal keyboard set is 8" x 5-1/2".
How many mAh does it take to charge the baby arm?
@SSteve the glorious baby arm generates enough electricity to power our building (and the Frito Lays across the street), we try not to think about how.
Seems like this would buy an autobuy for any tablet owner, but I do not own one and probably won't for a while. I got a retina iPad when they came out and ended up returning it. Too many of my couch/in-bed use cases require a keyboard and full OS.
Will the 7 inch work with the HP tablet?
Will the case work with an iPad Air 2 without blocking the mic or camera?
Ipad air2 support?
I love my cheapie Android tablet, but a black cover? Meh. And Swype comes shockingly close to making a keyboard unnecessary.
@madamehardy Get some vinyl paint and the cover can be any color you like
a baby arm and a banana knife and a justin case 1 year warranty? What more could a girl ask for....... no really what more can I ask for?
@Shata a unicorn? World peace? Dragons?!? Hell, you can ask for anything but don't hold your breath waiting to get it ;)
@JonT you had me at unicorn :)
FUKU, BUKUROOOO!
I ordered this in large part to see how many undelivered orders I could have from Meh at one time...I am currently up to 5. Hopefully they all arrive the same day so I can remain married...
@tightwad ha. Me too. I think they're waiting to see how much shit I'll but so they can put it all in the same box.
@jzmacdaddy A Ginormous box would be just fine with me...heck, I have offered to just back up to their dock and they can load it in my truck...save shipping expense etc.
@tightwad it is becoming clear to me - Meh is an off-shore Ponzi scheme by FedEx and the Post Office to generate more, not Less shipping volume. I ordered two of those dandy white Kershaw knives on separate orders... Thinking they'd combine the order. Nope. Two separate shipments. ;-)
@RedOak Separate order = separate label. It's easier for them.
@narfcake but it would be easy for the order system to merge the orders into one and save the duplicate shipping cost. No manual effort required. I suspect it is on their to do list but hasn't been addressed due to other I/T priorities.
Even North Dakota jumped in. And did so before Montana, Mississippi, West Virginia, and Maine. @JonT, been doing some targeted advertising up there?
I give a gabby-natural-air sigh and buy them, even though I'm still mad about not getting a goddamned fukumawhatsit. Fucking Meh. Grr. Argh.
@Pony
If these were just keyboards and damn cases I'd be all over it.
@DRav87 **and NOT damn cases
Anything for a 10.1"? kinda stuck with that. don't care for anything with that fruit on it, I think is called an Apple. Especially one that's been eaten off of.
These look like the rubberized models. Shopko has the bt keyboard (no charger batt) cases for $6.99 but the keystrokes will often ddoubble or triippple. Yuck. Maybe if these were chiclet and not rubberized.
This keyboard will help me paginate. In for two.
@phatmass I am happy for you. You have been so patient!

For a 7" two fer
Is the one keyboard really 10 x 3.5 inches? That seems... odd...
I want to get one of these, but I don't know which keyboard I'd prefer without a side-by-side comparison picture. :/
Cheap, not something I can't justify getting, and not sold out when I awake? I am in!!!!
I have a couple of questions. It has been mentioned that it is too heavy to carry around? How heavy is it? And bigger and more important are the cases hard or soft? I don't know how twill can be sturdy? I love my slim style belkin cause it is tough but the last belkins were soft side and can't stand up to the backpack.
i keep wanting to get a new ipad air (prolly gen 1) and a keyboard case... well the cart before the horse, but whatever now i have reason for the ipad!!!
Soo.. the discription say jt fits the ipad air 2 but the drop down menu says ipad air... Which is it?! I have both!
@12hourdrive There is a comma between thr word air and the 2. These are for the Air. The picture confirms it as well.
@MaddogBrenner shit. I need to return
No Georgia Red. . . for that alone, meh.
I love purple.
Bluetooth keyboards rock if you do a lot of email on your phone on the road and don't have/want to mess with a tablet.
You know what they say about guys with big thumbs...they say "Damn, those are some big thumbs!"
I just ordered it but it shows My credit Zip code is wrong. So I tried it again for sure and it said same thing. But from my credit card I got text you already charged me twice!? But I can't see anything in my order! What's going on? Please let me know..;-(
@skidwire those charges are temporary holds that will drop off in 2-3 business days
Nice, I don't have a Bluetooth keyboard for my Air, it'd be nice to have one, and you can't go wrong for $18.
I just happen to have two 7" tablets and $9 for a case/BT keyboard/power bank seems like a steal. I'm in.
so you're saying if I cut these two things in half I'll have FOUR things that I don't really need? hmmm
I have a Nook Tablet (tia for the sympathy cards), it is 8" - while this seems to be an adequate length for my personal use, I don't think this is the protection I am looking for :( meh
unflappable-exceptional-fox. #winning
I should buy it... justin.... case.

@thismyusername
Is this compatible with the ipad 2 air?
In case you were about to bite on the ipad mini one, sears has the Ihome equivalent on clearance for 8.97 per. Free shipping on 2 if you have their silly membership, or in store pickup if they happen to have them nearby. It works out to be the same price for 2 much better Ihome case/keyboards. No battery charging capacity though.
I keep hoping you will sell a keyboard case that will fit my Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro. The Ipad Air one you have here appears to be just a teeny bit too small, just like the keyboard case I bought from you guys a while back. I am debating the merits of tearing it apart and resetting the frame versus just bitng the bullet and paying $20 for one on EBay.
@moondrake almost picked up a Tab Pro 8.4 when Best Buy was selling them cheap over the holidays. Didn't pull the trigger but research at that time lead be to believe I would be stuck with a proprietary Sammy case due to the lesser sales volume of that model.
@RedOak There are a fair number of keyboard cases and regular cases for sale on EBay, the vendors say they will fit. I got a regular case that fits fine for $2.49, in fact. I picked up my tablet on a Woot off on BF weekend. It's a nice tablet, but unexpectedly doesn't stand up as well as I'd expected to the 13.3" Hannspree I had. It's not much more than half as big and a bunch of my games don't run properly on it, despite a friend who actually understands Android tackling them for me. Strange, I thought I'd get increased functionality upgrading to a respected brand.
@moondrake the 'issues' with the Samsung are surprising. Never had any with ours I but none of them are the Pro model. I avoid buying something like a case on eBay unless I can find credible reviews elsewhere. There are some incredibly crappy cases out there. The case is something we'll touch many times per day so it must be of respectable quality.
Figures. I just bought a new keyboard/case for my nexus 7 last week to replace the giant sawed-off one from here that i got tired of using. Le sigh.
It's a little suspect that the weight is nowhere to be found. I'll just assume that means it's really heavy.
I just thought of a couple more questions. If this has a battery does the keyboard run off the battery or do you have to charge both the keyboard and the backup battery? and Am I reading it correctly all the 7" are gone?
@silverqueen Yes. The 7" have sold out. That makes me feel really good about myself for buying something that sold out. It justifies me wasting my money on something I don't want or need.
I bought the two-for Tuesday version in October and it is excellent. It works fine with my Samsung tablet, althought the case does not fit (it was clear in the description that it would not fit).
@andyw Do you have the Samsung Galaxy Tab? I bought it cause I thought it would fit my Samsung Galaxy Tab.
@brianmc1975 I have a Samsung 10 inch tablet, so the other one, which is different, did not fit (it was close). But the keyboard alone is light and I carried it in the bag with the tablet.
I would probably get this if I could have chosen 1 of each... We have an iPad air and a mini. Kinda like you did with the JBL micro speaker docks a while back where you could mix and match...
@Headly Me Too!
Man, I want this, but I just can't justify buying another case. sigh
I'd have bit on this, but the 7" generics look like they're out of stock. Ah well.
Do I have to get them both the same size?
@jddautel Yep. Each 2 pack comes with 2 of the same size.
@Thumperchick Meh
Does anyone have pics or know how the "any 7" tablet" holds it in? I have an 8" i'd be interested in squeezing into this thing... ;)
After much deliberation, in for 1 IPad Mini Set!
I have no idea how I'm going to use this, but for some reason I ordered it anyway. Wife will give me that "WTF?" look yet again. defeated-majestic-pail
Sorry, that's the best I could do with this order number
I just got my Meh T-Shirt the other day, so I am waiting to have my shipments catch up before I start buying again. (I also may be a little bitter about the Fuku incident)
@Slyness Bitterness is the spice of life!
BTW Woot! raised the BOC price to $5 to be competitive. Unfortunately the last BOC I got wasn't worth $5.
@LankHairdoo mine wasn't even worth the 3 I paid for it.
@LankHairdoo what was in it?
@communist I can't even remember the total LIST price was about $20. The coolest thing was this:
TL DR.. But the Ebay price comparison is way off.. Anyone can list an item for ANY price.. What is actually SELLS for is the point. These are averaging about $22 each there... Shipped.
I had a some situations where I wished my phone had a full on keyboard recently, and the power bank sold me on it. In for one trustworthy-last-destruction, these things better be trustworthy.

oh god what did I just do
My two cases just showed up today. Now I just have to figure out what to do with them. Good times.
I am typing this on my new keyboard. The rubber keys take a bit of pounding to get them to work.
Hey did anyone else notice it didn't come with any cables !?
@benstory There should be a small white box inside the packaging. I almost missed it to, but there is a sticker that says "HEY! Don't forget the cables inside" with an arrow. Almost felt like I dummy. haha
I powered mine up and paired it with my iPad mini. Typed about 4 letters and it stopped and the onscreen keyboard popped up. Ok. This happens. Tried to pair again from bluetooth settings. No dice. Tried to enter pairing mode on the keyboard. The bluetooth light is lit up solid blue and won't go off...for anything. I also can't turn it off because it's just stuck on. So I currently have it charging my iPad in hopes that once the battery is dead I can charge it up and it will start over. Anyone else having issues?
@johntmeche3 I am having exactly this issue. I also have no fix.
@johntmeche3 I am also having this exact issue, dropped the pairing and the light will not go off at all, or re-pair to my ipad
I like purple.
@johntmeche3 I am having the same issue. Cannot get the pairing going. Will wait until the battery is drained to start over.
Just got the iPad Mini cases, and I must say, they suck big time. A couple things that are worth noting:
Those two are the biggest dealbreakers. Otherwise I could complain about the keys being to hard to push and no indication of when the battery is fully charged.
With that said, what can I expect for paying $18?
@Wamzlee Agreed on all counts. Added: they're heavy. Yes, that's the battery part, but...seriously, no way I'd want to carry this around on a regular basis.
@Wamzlee those are the rather obvious flaws I noticed as well. How did these get made in bulk? Mine is also acting quite busted.
@Wamzlee having the same issue. These things are terrible. Meh.
@Wamzlee I just noticed the flap attaches magnetically to the back, just higher up and looser than you'd expect.
@shinyhat You just saved these two little devices from going in the dumpster. :)
I was able to Pair my iPad Air2 & then I tried a Lenovo Android pad and that worked as well.
The keyboard is awful but mehbe with practice it will be better than the Lenovo Android kb... probably NOT!!!
What really worries me is that the case will damage the finish of the iPad.
p.s. I wonder what we would pay for shipping fees warranty fulfillment?
"USD$5.00 for items $10.00 to $39.00 (Price Paid Per Unit)"
Just got mine. Trying to figure out what the USB adapter is meant for... seems highly unneeded.
That said, don't buy it for the small, rubber keyboard but as a case with extra power for that long plane ride, I still think it's a good deal at 9 bucks.
@simulant I think you are referring to the USB "Charging Cable" which you use to plug into the USB Wall Charger then use the micro-usb end to plug into your tablet port to charge it... I think that is what you are referring to.
@fjp999 No, there's a little male/female standard usb dongle in addition to the charging cable. Its about an 2 inches long an is standard usb mail on one end and female on the other.
@simulant i didn';tt get one of thhe sshort cablles,, jjust the ccharging caablee.
@andipandi : Ahh... I finally RTFM. It's to modify the battery's voltage for certain "Samsung tablets".
@simulant its to charge an iPhone/iPad. They need some signal that little adapter provides.

@andipandi I'm havingg the same problems. This thing sucks biggtie..
@andipandi Exactly. I just got mine and it sucks. An the iPad wants to tip over when you are typing. And the close flap wants to hang in front of the iPad. I will consider this a travel case with an extra battery and that is all.
@andipandi I read that and almost pissed myself.
@andipandi You ragging on beige keyboards from 1986?
@brhfl only as such their strong rugged construction made typing more of an effort than us touchscreeners are used to!
@andipandi Hah, point taken!

Anyone have a problem with the I pad air model not fitting their I pad air? Maybe I got the wrong model...
@mehdaf My iPad Air fits into both that I received. Do yours specify "DESIGNED FOR iPad Air" on the packaging?
I can't believe I was actually able to find a manual for this thing. Manual from www.ithomeproducts.com
was this supposed to come with a short charging cable that runs from my ipad to the charger? if so mine is missing. Plus trying to type a question mark is ridiculous on this thing!
I was gonna say, "Hey! At least you people got working cases!" because neither of mine works (both arrived DOA), but after reading of the travails and drawbacks you're all having, I now think I got the better end of the deal.
At least you guys got ones with keyboards. Both of mine were just batteries crappily made into cases... Contacted meh and they referred me to submit a warranty claim... ugh
.@smartalec0607 I finally got around to using my Justin keyboard case for my iPad Air. The keyboard is pretty wonky & tough to use. You're probably better off without keys.
I thought about selling mine but the power bank could be handy and I can't imagine inflicting the keyboard on anyone else. I might be able to turn it into a (paper) notebook holder or something.
ABSOLUTE JUNK! meh is giving me the runaround, stopped replying to emails etc. nEVER WORKED FROM DAY 1, GOING THROUGH MY CREDIT CARD
@blankgazex Our CS team has issued you a full refund.
Both of mine for the iPad Air stopped working within a few days. Meh told me to contact ithomeproducts.com and I did on Feb 25th. Nothing. Not even a "yeah, we got your email and we'll get around to it one day" email.
