ASUS Transformer Pad Mobile Dock TF300T (Blue)

If this wasn't solely for the TF300 tablet, I would say it is hands-down THE BEST keyboard on the market. First of all, I have yet to see any keyboard that extends the battery life of your tablet. The battery life this extends to your TF300 is about 6-7 hours depending on use. I have gone entire 14 hour trips from overseas watching movies, reading magazines, and working on presentations thanks to this keyboard. It doesn't work so much as an additional battery as it does a charger for your tablet. You don't have to worry about leaving your tablet attached to it to get the benefit of the extra battery, the tablet will drain this battery first to recharge itself, brilliant coding. Secondly, this keyboard comes with a usb port and an additional SD Card slot. This is an amazing feature for travelers and movie lovers alike. I have many usb sticks loaded with movies that my wife and I love to watch on our trips. Also, since my wife is a photography lover, we can take her SD Card from her camera and load photos directly on to my tablet and edit/e-mail them to family and friends or post them on social sites. I also use it to load presentations and work products from other people for me to review. Third, since this keyboard is made for the TF300, it works perfectly in sync with it. The controls on the keyboard are excellent for switching music tracks, bringing oup programs with the shortcuts, and controlling the settings of the tablet with one touch. The keyboard feels right when typing on it. My only gripe is that I can't use anything in portrait mode when the keyboard is installed. If I want to read a magazine/book/etc or use any game in portrait mode (that isn't run solely in portrait mode) I have to disconnect my tablet. Of course, I don't know anyone other than myself who would put a "laptop" sideways on the table. Also, when I get typing very quickly, the keyboard is a little loud, so I try not to go crazy during class or work. Fourth, this essentially turns your tablet into a touch screen laptop, meaning you don't have to buy a case for your tablet or the keyboard if you don't want to. I never bought a case for either of these because the tablet connects to the keyboard so securely that many people don't realize I'm on a tablet. And since it folds while attached it essentials seems like I just have a netbook walking around. I didn't think I would use the keyboard so much when I first purchased it, but after the first few uses I was hooked and I rarely disconnect it. The keyboad does leave dirt on the bottom portion of your screen after multiple disconnects and connections. The slot for the tablet to go in is prone to gathering dust/dirt. I have had this for 2 years now.

Pros: -5 hours additional battery life -Full size USB -SD card slot -Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) works great with the cursor -Something to type on besides a touch screen Cons: -USB port cover has annoying plastic tether -Adds a bit of heft -Obviously not a full sized keyboard (Is this really a con? Probably not in my book, but the right shift key is shrunken to fit the direction arrows which does annoy me) -I think $99 would have been a good price point vs the $130 I paid I've had my Transformer Pad with the keyboard dock for a week now and I'm very pleased with them. This accessory is the reason I bought the Transformer over another tablet. First, the act of docking is very simple and easy, you don't have to fiddle around to get it to dock. The docked tablet, now netbook, is a little heavier than I expected, but if I threw it in my travel bag, I don't think it would be noticeable, especially when compared to a netbook. The keyboard is nice, of course it is a netbook sized keyboard, so difficult to type on for long periods (as you'd expect). The scrunched keyboard only bothers me with two keys, the right shift key being narrow and the lock button on top of the backspace key. The quality of the keys is good, touchpad is responsive (though small). The fact that the keyboard gives you an extra 5hrs of battery is great! The most important features (to me) are the full sized USB port and the SD card slot. The first thing I did when I unboxed the dock was connect a USB mouse. This is when I noticed con #1, the USB port plug is tethered with a plastic strip that I couldn't unplug and connect the USB cord with one hand. If it doesn't soften up, it's getting clipped. The mouse connected flawlessly and was every bit as responsive as the touchpad (you can even hit a button on the function row to disable the touchpad). So with the proper keyboard/mouse combo you could type comfortably, but really, to me, it's a tablet and that's not really what it's made or used for, I'm just saying you could do it. Also tested a flash drive and it worked just fine. As soon as I was able to get to my Nikon D5100 I popped the SD card out and within 15 seconds I was browsing photos and uploading them to Google+ where I do light exposure/contrast editing. This dock has me doing everything I was going to buy a budget laptop for, but with all the entertainment functions of a tablet.

My mobile dock arrived safely and earlier than expected. So far I have enjoyed the added versatility it gives me and I do noticed that it does increase my battery life. I really like having the SD card capability. I was not having any luck finding this item in the stores so was very happy to have found it on Amazon at the expected price.

Product delivered with scratches, it seems to be "refurbished", no free return for Europe. I get a extended bill from Fedex for import to Europe after international shipping costs, lake of informations on Blinq website.

It would be nice if the description was accurate and outlined it was just the keyboard part

Perfectly meets my expectations! I recommend this item to all TF-300T owners, definetely a great keyboard and 5 hours battery life is much appreciated!

Only thing that isn't good about this extra battery/keyboard is if it's connected to the tablet it constantly drains both the tablet battery and the keyboard battery. To get the most out of the battery life between charges, I highly recommended only attaching the keyboard to the tablet when you are going to use it. And to detach them when you go to put it away.
