Multitasking your UMPC Accessories

After two of my readers, Igor and Charlie Thomas, requested I look at several UMPC related accessories and their ability to multitask with other devices I thought I would post some photos. In summary Igor wanted to know if the ASUS R2H would fit in the Organsier Pack made by Samsung; while Charlie wanted to know if the Samsung Q1 would fit in the EO I7210 Bump Case.

Let’s take a look:

Sorry Igor, the ASUS does not fit...at all!

But the TabletKiosk EOV7110 does!

Here is the EO V7110 cloesd in the Samsung Q1 Organiseer Pack. By the way, the V7110 is top-heavy and has a tendency to fall out of the pack if you open it quickly!!! Careful...buy at your own risk.

Hey Charlie, the Samsung Q1 fits nicely. For your reference buy the EO V7110 Bump Case as it will fit even better with more exposed buttons. (Make sure you blog about it and credit me!

It's a nice fit actually!

Here is the back of the Bump Case with the Q1 in it.

Here is the EO Portfolio Carrying Case and the Q1 fits in it nicely too!

Here is the Q1 closed up inside the EO Portfolio Carry Case.

I was pretty excited to learn that the Samsung Q1 Keyboard (which includes a mouse pointer and left and right click) works on all UMPC. Note however you may need to use a USB extension cable to get to your USB ports depending on which device you use

Tell TabletKiosk "Hugo from Australia" sent you and they'll look after you!

I got this keyboard+trackpad Adesso AKB-410US and it works great. Paid quite a premium but well worth though.

Next I am looking to get this "Wii Carry Case" which may work well with my eo i7210.

Hey Kelvin,

That's a great set of links and thoughts. this could become a really nice thread. Who else has "swappable" accesories for UMPC? GottaBe, JK and KCT, Craig, Chippy?

Hugo, A belated Happy Australia Day. Thanks very much for taking the time to try these out. I must say that I like the looks of the case for the 7210 better than the 7110. Does the 7110 case fit the Q1 better so that it doesn't slide around? Also, the kind folks at Tabletkiosk cautioned about the thermal properties on the Q1 if the Tabletkiosk case were to be used.

Thanks,

Charlie Thomas

Hi Charlie,

Thanks for the shout out on Australia Day!

In regards to the accessories it's important to use you common sense and always know that swapping accessories might void warranty.

In regards to the V7110 case I am afraid I did not have it. Shame though as it is the same as the i7210 but has a bigger hole for the exposed buttons. At least you know the i7210 works for sure however the heat issue is something to well noted by TabletKiosk...nothing a sharp knife can't fix though! LOL.

I think this was a fun exploration either way.

Hugo,

You are the man. I've been wondering whether the EO bump case would work with the Q1.

Thanks alot.
