Official Nexus 9 Keyboard Folio case now available to buy via Google Play

If you want to turn your Google Nexus 9 tablet into a mini laptop you can now do that by buying the official Nexus 9 Keyboard Folio case. Available to order from Google Play, the accessory can be shipped in 1-2 business days.

Similar to Microsoft’s Surface Type Cover, the Keyboard Folio for Google’s Nexus 9 attaches magnetically and pairs wirelessly to the tablet. It can be folded in two ways, and, when closed, it acts as a protective cover for the Nexus slate (somewhat resembling Apple’s iPad Smart Cover). What about the price? Well, the Keyboard Folio costs $129.00 - so it’s on par with the Microsoft Type Cover from this point of view.

If, for some reason, you don’t want to get it via Google Play, the Nexus 9 Keyboard Folio will also be offered by Amazon. However, for now Amazon can’t say when it will be able to ship it.

As for the Nexus 9 itself, this is available for prices starting at $399 (16 GB, Wi-Fi only). You can read our Nexus 9 review to find out more about the tablet.
