It would be cool to get a keyboard case similar to the microsoft surface.  I can't seem to find anything similar yet.

Bought this and received it today:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/180943799107?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/180943799107?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649) - works pretty good so far , but will be putting it through it's paces over the next few days...came with USB to go cable...use my nexus 7 with asus case inside it as well (so keyboard wont scratch screen)

Will let you know how it holds up!

I bough a similar case for an earlier 7"  tablet, and with the relevant OTG adaptor it works well with my newly acquired Nexus 7
Its main drawback is the slightly ugly cable arrangement, the cable from the keyboard terminates in a normal USB plug,  which then requires an adaptor to connect to the tablet
It is also a bit bulky, being designed for the thicker generic Android tablets that have been around for a couple of years

I think this is the Poetic Keyboard Case (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008IEGS2Y/ref=s9_simh_gw_p147_d1_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=0Y4CDG7TYKW85H0AR9SQ&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1389517282&pf_rd_i=507846) you're talking about.n  How do you find that?   Keys aren't too cramped?  I was thinking of going for one of these Zagg Flex Keyboards (http://www.amazon.com/ZAGG-FOLZKFLEXSLV-Zagg-ZAGGkeys-FLEX/dp/B00695OFE2/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1346342207&sr=1-1&keywords=zagg+flex) myself.

You get use to the keys cause they are smaller. For me I need something compact so I bought a small thumb board as well
