when using the bluetooth keyboard, does the tablet keyboard still pop up on the screen & have to be hidden?

There is a button on the keyboard to hide the keyboard on the screen. Or you can also use the down arrow button on the tablet screen to hide the keyboard. While typing on the physical keyboard, it doesn't reappear on the screen.

yes you can disable the pop up keyboard if you have either a Bluetooth keyboard hooked into it it should automatically disappear or you can use a standard USB keyboard

No, the keyboard is separate from tablet.That is good one can turn off keyboard if not needed.

A delayed response, but for anyone wondering - Xda Developers has a thread on keyboard connectivity. The quick work-around is to disable the on-screen keyboard in settings when your Bluetooth keyboard is connected (a Google search should easily turn up this thread). Best results have occurred with a Samsung manufactured accessory; however, it may be helpful for others as well.

I was worried about that as well; but my experience is no it does not. The keys are so flat on the key board, I don't really even think they touch the screen when it's closed and if they do, it certainly isn't in a harmful way.Hope that helps!

I know the screen is connected to the keyboard but I don't know how. I think a computer technician could explain how. I do know that the tablet has a virtual keyboard which could be used for touchscreen operations. The regular keyboard could be used for non touchscreen operations. This is much that I know.

Not with android devices. Pressing a key will bring up the virtual keyboard on screen.

The keyboard is actually a part of the case. It has a mini USB port connection to the tablet. Doesn't connect with Bluetooth, but with the wire.

It depends on the USB port on your table. If it's a mini usb...No At this point, I have never used the keyboard. Just use the cover to protect the tablet

As far as I know and can see, the keyboard is built into the device. However, you can turn the keyboard off and use an onscreen keyboard.

I am using the keyboard to type this note. The keyboard is on my lap, BUT the tablet is not. I do not think it is as easy to use as a true "laptop" setup. But does work very well when a table is handy, even if the table is very small and can only hold the tablet. When using the tablet on the run, I use the pop-up soft keyboard.

There is no back cover so the keyboard is exposed. But I haven't had an issue with pressing the wrong keys when using the remote.

Yes - if the pen is near the screen it will be the only input accepted. And if the keyboard is folded all the way around it will no longer accept input either - so you dont have to worry about bumping those while its in 'tablet mode.'

You do not have to touch the tablet but in some circumstances it is faster when you use them together. If you are just typing a document then the keyboard is totally independent. Hope that helps.

Hi to be honest with you up until I received your question. I have not used the key board much,other then setting up the Bluetooth device with the tablet. This is what I found out when I tried it tonight. I think when you turn on the Bluetooth device it does turn off the Samsung keyboard as far as I know,but then when you do turn off the Bluetooth keyboard. the Samsung tablet key pad pops up again to use. I hope this helps you with your question.

So far I have had no issues.The only 'inconvenience' I have found is that if you turn off the keyboard and tablet, you may have to 'un-pair' devices and 're-pair' them...If this doesn't fix it, then I would contact the seller.

The keyboard will rub against the screen if not aligned when closing. I used a screen protector and it already scratched up. The keyboard has to be turned off before closing or else the keys are pressed against the case/screen and it will turn on the display.
