Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 accessories (photos)

For Samsung, competing against Apple's iPad means more than creating an excellent tablet--it also means creating a high-quality line of accessories. For the Galaxy Tab 10.1, Samsung is making a number of cases, keyboards, docks, and adapters, to entice customers.
In this photo we see the Keyboard dock ($69), which offers a full-size tactile keyboard for users interested in adapting the Galaxy Tab 10.1 for extensive word processing and e-mail.

On the right side of the Keyboard dock you'll find a pass-through 30-pin connection, which can be used to charge the tablet while it's docked or to connect one of a number of adapters (USB host, HDMI, USB sync) made for the Tab 10.1.

An audio output jack is located on the back of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Keyboard dock.

A case with an integrated Bluetooth keyboard is due out for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in July of 2011. Pricing has yet to be announced.

The Bluetooth keyboard case folds up and stays closed with a magnetic latch.

Here's a side view of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 sandwiched inside the Bluetooth keyboard case.

Here's a shot of the front of the Bluetooth keyboard case. All put together, the system has the familiar feel of a slender Netbook.

If you just want a pretty place to charge and admire your Galaxy Tab 10.1, the Multi-Media dock ($34.99) is just the thing.

The Multi-Media dock does not include a built-in video output. Instead, users must buy an HDMI adapter separately ($39), which can be plugged into the pass-though 30-pin connection on the back. A stereo audio out is included.

For those who keep things simple, Samsung offers a basic leather pouch for $29.

Here are the range of adapters made for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. From left to right we have the HDMI adapter ($39), the USB host adapter ($19.99), and the SD card adapter (pricing TBD).

A Book Cover case is also available for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, priced at $59.

A flap on the back of the Book Cover case can be used to prop the tablet up at an angle for typing and browsing.
