This is kinda obvious, but the design of the gtab 2&3 are different.

A bluetooth keyboard should work but the tab-3 does not support OTG adapters which means the Micro USB port does not support external direct connect mouse, keyboard or Thumb drive!
I took the Tab-3 back for this reason and kept my Tab-2!

While we are on the subject, has anyone had experience with a bluetooth keyboard case? There are several off brands on Amazon and e-bay. Has anyone tried one?

(Sorry, don't mean to hijack your thread, it is just that my question is so related....)

Nah it's fine. I use a Bluetooth keyboard, but it forces you to change the onscreen keyboard to Sammys s*itty keyboard if you're using a different one.

I use a little bluetooth keyboard with my GT-2 and it works great. When I Go out of town it makes it a lot easier to answer emails!

Also it constantly drops the connection every 5 seconds but that might just be my keyboard.
