With all the excitement of the first Nexus 7 Tablets being shipped to customers we know that alot of you are starting to think about buying some accessories for your new tablets.   We'll be doing some more extensive articles on various brands and types of Nexus 7 cases soon but we just got wind of the first 'keyboard case' for the Nexus 7 so we thought we'd post some pics here for all to see.   

Now we can't really vouch for 'Crazy On Digital' as we don't have first-hand experience with their products but the case shown above connects to your Nexus 7 via bluetooth.  We like this approach as some of the less sophisticated keyboard cases we've seen on other tablets require a wire dongle to connect via the microUSB port.   It also has a built-in stand which is pretty handy.    We're a little confused from the description as to whether this is real or synthetic leather but at $34.85 with keyboard we wouldn't be surprised if it's the latter. 

The manufacturer is currently taking pre-orders if this strikes your fancy and it's due on July 25th. 

It's available in two colors:

Crazy On Digital Nexus 7 Keyboard Case - Black Brown (http://www.amazon.com/CrazyOnDigital-Bluetooth-Keyboard-Tablet-Leather/dp/B008G3BFLG/ref=sr_1_53?ie=UTF8&qid=1342214913&sr=8-53&keywords=nexus+7+cases)

Crazy On Digital Nexus 7 Keyboard Case - White Red (http://www.amazon.com/CrazyOnDigital-Bluetooth-Keyboard-Tablet-Leather/dp/B008G3BESU/ref=pd_sim_sbs_pc_8)

So would a keyboard case be useful for a 7 inch tablet?  What are your thoughts?   And how do you plan to protect your new Nexus 7 tablet?  Case? Skin? Folio?  Body Armor?  Let us hear your preferences in the comments.

I wish they added a trackpad or some way to connect a mouse to it too.  But all and all I like.

Yes, trackpad would be nice.  You can connect a mouse via the microUSB though.  It supports mouse connections.

It looks good, but I will pass. I don't plan on doing any heavy wordprocessing and the like on my N7.  That's what my 17inch laptop is for.  I plan on using my N7 for fun (books, games, email, etc)  only so I can't see how a keyboard would be necessary. But it will be hard not to buy all the accessories that come out.

Here is a link to a bluetooth keyboard case. My wife has one for her Ipad and loves it. I might go this direction.
