    Well, the title says it all.... I have an 11.6" Acer Iconia W700 Windows 8 tablet and am looking for a keyboard attachment that effectively turns it into something like a laptop.

    I love this tablet, it does everything I need it to do, but the keyboard case that came with it just is not cutting it. Here is how the W700 looks like with that keyboard case:

    And this is kind of what I am looking for:

    The keyboard has to be bluetooth, since there really is no other way to connect it besides usb.... and I would rather not do that. :D

    Really, I'm looking for any keyboard that can replace the crummy one that this came with, and so far I haven't really found anything, so I would really appreciate some help in finding one. Thanks in advance!

    We have this in our conference room at work. It's not bad, but I'd say it's a little cramped.

    Check out Lenovo S6000 keyboard. As far as I know it is just a bluetooth keyboard with a slot that should fit many tablets, not just Lenovo branded ones.

    That looks like the tablet could topple at any moment - is there some sort of retention mechanism that prevents the tablet from tipping (or being knocked) over?

    I haven't seen that live. If I had the chance, I'd put my V8Pro in it to see :)

    That slot just seems a little angled to keep tablet in place, so pushing it from the back would tip it. More experiences in tabletpcreview, there I saw it mentioned first.
