Coby Kyros MID Tablets

HDE 7″ Tablet Stand with USB Keyboard – Black Faux Leather Carrying Case

This black leather case with laptop-style keyboard is the perfect accessory for 7″ tablets like the Coby Kyros 7012 and 7042. This protective cover is multi-functional and lets you type just as you would with your laptop/netbook. This case is equipped with a full working keyboard, a stylus, pockets to hold up to 2 styluses, USB cable, and an extendable stand. Just plug the USB 2.0 cable, attached to the keyboard, right into your tablet and you’re all set! Product Dimensions: 9.0 x 5.75 x 1.0 inches. Recommended for use with 7″ tablet dimensions up to: 8.75 x 5.5 x 0.75 inches. ** Please make sure to measure the dimensions of your 7″ Tablet for a proper fit! **

Here’s what one reviewer had to say, “I bought this after reading many reviews on here and noting that many people said it worked with Coby Kyros. Shipping was FAST! I got it in 4 days with two of them being weekend days. The case is nice and sturdy, great hardcover protection. I was aware it came with the keyboard and plug, and that I would have to use my adapter that came with my Coby Kyros, but it was a pleasant surprise to find a stylus was also included and that there is a nice holder for that and for the cord that holds the plug for the keyboard.

Many people have mentioned this case does not fit their 7-inch tablets, but there is a VERY EASY fix. Before placing your tablet into the 3 prongs, first bend the prongs downward (toward the case backing) a little further than they are currently seated. I did this and my 7-inch Kyros (which originally just slipped right in) now fits snugly in the 3 holders. I even held it over my bed and vigorously shook the case up and down while it was open and my tablet never fell out or even slipped at all. It’s much easier and less “messy” than one other reviewer’s suggestion of using Velcro – and much easier to get the tablet in and out this way.

Finally, when I first connected my adapter that came with my tablet to the keyboard adapter I was very disappointed that nothing happened. I tried several different browser pages, mashed all the buttons on the keyboard, clicked on the Function key and snooze button twice in case it was in sleep mode, etc. but nothing happened. I finally kept reading reviews on here and noticed on about page 3 or 4 that someone mentioned they changed their USB settings and their keyboard finally started working. So, I immediately went to my Settings, Advanced Settings, and then USB BUS MODE and changed it from DEVICE mode to HOST mode and VOILA – the keyboard immediately started functioning. Not only that, but I can have it connected or not connected and both the external keyboard and my device keyboard still function normally. For anyone that hooks it up to their tablet and thinks it is not actually working – please try this and it might save you the time and hassle of sending it back to the manufacturer.

I have so far been able to browse faster, type more quickly and get through many more screens faster using this keyboard and cover than I was ever able to do with my fingers and stylus with the tablet and device keyboard in the past. I am going to LOVE this purchase!!”

Here’s what one reviewer had to say, “I purchased the Coby Kryos 7024 7″ Android Tablet for my mom for her birthday, and I searched online for a case for it and decided to go with one with a keyboard to make the tablet easier to use when surfing the net etc. I found several similar looking and priced cases, it seems to me that they are probably all about the same. With that said, many others had negative reviews with things like “foreign language on the case and keys”, not with this one. Also “cheap looking vynal”, this isnt real leather, but it looks very nice. Some said that the Kyros tablet would fall out, this case holds it very well. Others said that the keyboard wouldnt work, if those are like this one, I had to go into the advanced settings in the tablet and set the “usb host” and the keyboard works great. (The Kyros comes with the usb to mini usb adaptor) With the tablet in this case, and the “kickstand” set up, it is basically like a small netbook. I ordered this case and the Tablet at 1:30am on Friday morning, and received the products at 5:11pm Friday afternoon. (Wasnt expecting this, but appearantly Amazon has a shipping facility in Goodyear, just outside of Phoenix, only about 50 mi from my home.)

Bottom line, this is a great looking case that works well. I would definately recommend it. After seeing and playing with this case my sister is ordering one for her Nook Color. (It also fits well in this case)”

ATTENTION!!! TO ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE TROUBLE READ THIS!!!

This is an excellent value case and keyboard and looks very smart too. Most of you who have trouble getting it to work on your tablets are maybe using the wrong type of mini/micro USB adapters! You can test the keyboard by plugging it to a PC. If it works then is not faulty.

First try connecting other USB devices like a USB flash memory or mouse on your USB adapter to the tablet? If nothing works then you are using the wrong type adapter! You need to try an OTG mini/micro USB B-type (depending on the tablet) with Pin#4 connected adapter cable. A USB OTG= On The Go specification have pin#4 connected (Active) on the mini/micro USB plug (Usually not connected on standard mini USB plug spec) and that is the key. You must ask the sellers of these adapters to confirm this however I found it really difficult as most sellers don’t have a clue about this! Also beware that they can specify OTG Host adapter in their description but it is not! You must confirm that pin#4 is connected on the mini or micro USB plug of the adapter.

After finally getting the right mini USB OTG adapter it worked great on my Storage Options Scroll 7″ Android 2.3.3 tablet. Also USB mouse, flash memory, external hard drives work too.

The tablet slipping issue is easily sorted with a piece of Velcro tape on the back. The only issue is the keyboard can scratch the screen while closed so I recommend using a piece of soft cloth between them.

Here’s what one reviewer had to say, “This is best tablet by coby ever. Coby left me speechless. Android market installation was so easy on this. Just took me 2-3 minutes. Touch is just as IPad. Yes I am IPad owner. I just took this as I roughly use tablet. Android 2.3 is just awsome. It has same built up as Ipad, and lighter than Ipad. Battery life is pretty good. Screen display is also good.What to tell, everything is far-far better than other anroid tablet available in the market. Exactly same feeling as Ipad. I would highly recommend this. Go for it, you wont regret.”

Tip from a Reviewer: Use the Dolphin Browser to Boost Tablet Speed

Here’s what one reviewer did to speed up his MID1126: “My wife had trouble surfing the web with the browser that came on the tablet. I installed Dolphin on it and it really made surfing easier for her. In the process of changing the browser I discovered that the apps are dependent on the browser for internet connection. When I switched to Dolphin it made the tablet operate generally much better. If I can ever afford to order one for me the first thing I’m going to do with the new one is download and install a new browser.”
