I really like this case,but am I missing something. How do I charge the keyboard?

I am not aware that there is a charge feature on the keyboard, simply plug it into your tablet and go. If you meant change the keyboard, I have no idea.

The one I have is just plugged into the computer. There weren't any instructions with my key board but I just charge the tablet.

It was charged when it arrived. In fact, I have never put any effort into charging it. I just leave it with the solar panel facing up whenever I close it, and it has always been ready to use. It uses either the natural light or the light from a lamp to charge. I am very happy with this keyboard!

You might try some electronics equipment section in a store like Best Buy. I believe the one I bought to keep in my overnight bag is longer by maybe a foot than the one that came with the keyboard. Don't expect to find one much longer; the idea of charging the keyboard is to do it some surface like a counter top.

Key board doesn't charge itself when connected, make sure you use the USB cable that came with the unit to charge the keyboard.

I have not seen one as of yet. The way the Surface charges could pose a significant challenge to the design since the cable does not plug in but magnetically connects, if designed correctly however this could be a plus as there would be no port to open for charging, and a similar connection could be made for the keyboard as it connects in the same way. Would like to see someone make such a case, I would definitely buy one!

there's a little micro usb port on the side. When the case is all closed up, the nook charging port and the keyboard charging port will be on the same side.

The port to charge the tablet is on the bottom edge, which is also where the fold in the folio cover is. In order to charge you have to either lay it out flat, or fold the keyboard under the tablet in order to access the charging port. All the manufacturer needed to do was put a reinforced opening in the port location on the cover and it could be charged in the closed position. One could possibly cut their own opening in the cover, but that would probably negate any warranty coverage and could possibly weaken the folding hinge of the cover.

Hi Suzanne, If I'm not using the keyboard, I just fold it around behind. It is easier than prying it out of the cover. I'm not sure what you are asking in your 2nd question. The whole set-up may be a little thicker than others on the market, but I am very happy with it! I've been using it since mid August and have yet to need to re-charge the keyboard. I think that I read it can last up to 3 months before needing charging.

Is the keyboard charged? It usually has a slight charge but you might have to re-charge it first.

I have this case & LOVE it! I have to slide my keyboard a little bit to get charger plugged in but I do not have to remove it entirely! It's really not that big a deal! And it works a very long time between charges which is great! Hope this helps!

Keyboard should be charged. Turn it off and on, It will start pairing. I think it goes to power save mode if not being used. so turning off and on again will make this work. Thanks

The usb cable that comes with the keyboard plugs into the keyboard and your usb samsung tablet charger....plug into the wall outlet.....you cannot charge both (the tablet and keyboard) at the same time (in the wall outlet) unless you have an extra usb charger....go to settings turn your bluetooth on....push the link button that is on the keyboard (upper right hand corner)....give it a few seconds....should be good to go.....note : i have been pleased with the battery/charge life with this keyboard.....i use it with my samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 model GT-P5113

When I got the keyboard case, I charged it first. Then I paired it with my tablet. Now, I enable Bluetooth on my tablet and then immediately switch on the keyboard. It has always connected when used this way. I am typing on the keyboard now.

It is not charged up enough. I had the same issue and once I charged it, problem fixed! When it's plugged in, make sure the light comes on to indicate that it is charging. I absolutely love this keyboard. Don't give up on it.

It is powered by the tablet. You can charge the tablet by connecting the tablet charger to the side of the keyboard.

Yes... You need a charger. I use the same one for my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and the one for my Kindle. These charger i git them through Amazon at very cheap price. The keyboard charges so fast and honestly you will love how well fabricated is and how good it looks. You won't regret buying it.

Hi Mack, there is a very small button that slides forward or backward on the right hand side of the keyboard next to the usb port for charging. If it is red it is in the off postion, on it is green.
