Can someone suggest a good bluetooth keyboard for use with a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 tablet? I won’t be using it often, but on occasion I will need to do enough typing that using the onscreen keyboard will not be optimal for the task. I’d like to have a lightweight, portable bluetooth keyboard that will work with Android Ice Cream Sandwich.

Thanks,

Two thoughts,

The [Zagg](http://www.zagg.com/accessories/zaggkeys-flex-tablet-keyboard-stand.php) line of products have served my Ipad well. It’s a case, keyboard, and stand. Obviously, YMWV with a TAB, but anything that doubles as a folding stand like that would work swell.

If you already have a stand for your tablet, I like [Apple’s Keyboard](http://www.apple.com/keyboard/). Not to sound like a fanboy (all my computers are PCs, anyhow), but it’s the slimmest and sleekest keyboard of the lot.
