Foldable Soft Silicone BLUETOOTH 2.0 WIRELESS KEYBOARD for iPad iPhone 3GS 4 3G G3 G4 G5 Laptop Desktop Netbook MAC Computer HTC Nokia Sony Ericsson Motorola Samsung LG Blackberry Android 3.0 Mobile Phones Medium (1xBLACK)

This could be excellent. The built-in rechargeable battery is a superb idea, and surprising given the low cost of the keyboard. (It can't be removed, though, therefore I assume once it has been charged and re-charged dozens of times its longevity will decrease.) I like the rubbery feel of the keyboard, it is portable, and it has a novelty factor. As a generic bluetooth keyboard, Chinese I think, with literally no branding anywhere on it, it works fine with my Android tablet and at a guess will work with most bluetooth compatible devices. It feels well-constructed.

(Some reviews mention that the space bar can break, which may well be the case as the instructions tell you not to compress it while it's rolled up, which could be hard to avoid if you're carrying it around with you.)

However, its major failing is that it doesn't speed up my typing. (I type at 70+ words per minute on a normal keyboard, but I'd be surprised if I'm at 25 wpm on this form.) For me the purpose of a portable keyboard is to be able to type on my tablet (or equally on a phone) at very close to the same speed I can manage on a laptop. But this keyboard really is very small (do check the dimensions before purchasing - I had assumed it was a full size keyboard, just rolled up; my mistake, it's half-size). On a keyboard this small I'm no faster at typing than I am on the tablet screen or a phone.

If you're looking for a portable keyboard and you don't have tiny, tiny fingers, then you need a full-size keyboard that folds (and probably costs more), not a half-size keyboard that rolls.

(I'd buy a full-size version of this keyboard if there was one, but the space bar is probably what makes this difficult to manufacture.)

Bought with next day delivery, this item arrived less than 18hrs after ordering! The size is slightly smaller than imagined (a fraction smaller than the key board on my 7' netbook) with fingers not quite able to sit aligned above the "asdf-jkl;" keys for touch-typing, but with a small alteration with finger positioning and a little practice touch-typing is possible. I should also add that i am 6'4" so dont have the tiniest hands in the world.

the product comes with an internal battery that is USB powered which so far has always outlasted the battery life of the phone (and then some).

when connecting with my Samsung Galaxy S2 in general it was quite simple, the only difficulty was when asked by my phone to put a code into the keyboard, there was no feedback to indicate if the buttons were being pressed which meant that it took 3 minutes instead of 30 seconds.

Happy buying!

This is such a useful thing but real shame that space key has just stopped working and it hasn't had more than 2 or 3 hours of use in total.
Do you know how useless a keyboard is without a space key that works?
