Since we may never get a dedicated keyboard option for the PadFone 2 , I have been ordering (and sending back) a lot of universal keyboard/case/stand options to try and meet this need. I ***FINALLY*** found one that looks and works great! Maybe this message will help out other folks who are also looking for a similar solution...

It is the Kensington KeyFolio Pro Keyboard/Case/Stand for 10.1 inch tablets: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00604YU4C/ref=oh_details_o03_s01_i01

It is a very nice design and has a very smart adjustment/fit system. It also folds up to protect the Padfone 2 and functions as a stand.

It is a TRAVESTY if Asus doesn't develop a keyboard for the PadFone 2! At least this option is a viable solution with very little compromise!

Hope this helps someone!

I hope this post helps some people, but I can't live without a real Asus keyboard dock!

Yes - The little rubber "ears" which hold the tablet in place can easily be pulled back to allow the tablet to slip out. Its also very nice that these "ears" are user fit by attaching to the actual case with velcro.

The whole thing (Keyboard and Tablet) fold up into a small book like case for transport.

Short of a real integrated Asus Transformer-like keyboard, I don't think it can get any better than this!

If Padfone had these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Triple-Portfolio-2-in-1-Case-for-Asus-Padfone-Station-Keyboard-Dock-Stylus-E36X-/200773895619?pt=Other_Tablet_eReader_Accessories&hash=item2ebf0e85c3
then its a matter of time Padfone 2 will get some too.

Re other bulkier keyboards, It wouldnt be difficult to build in micro usb port, put battery inside, rubber pads on sides to hold the thing together.

YAY I was dreaming of buying a high end phone and carrying a cardboar with it. ASUS should get punished for that (Hey we won't give you the keyboard, but guss what - you know the box that the station came in? You can walk around with that - how fancy huh?).

I was fed up with the fact that there doesn't seem to be many companies (even Asus!) bringing out cases for the Padfone 2 tablet.

So I just bought one of these. Hopefully it doesn't take too long to ship. I'll post some pictures once I receive it.

I just received one of these today and can honestly say it is pretty good for what it is. The rubber grip does partially cover the power switch and volume down, and its also not that easy to take the phone out. That said, I don't want it to be too easy to remove - using the pad in public I've always been cautious someone could swipe the phone out - not so any more. Don't get me wrong, its far from impossible to get out, its just a snug fit.
On the plus points, the case looks and feels great, the keyboard is fantastic it that you can take it out and type away however you like without it being fixed like a dock.
Theres even room to attach an OTG cable with pendrive or card reader to the base of the pad and still close the case.
Very happy with this case, thanks for the few recommendations here. Yes its not perfect but with a couple of slight modifications its not far from it.
Hope this helps,
