- Hey guys I'm looking for some cheaper alternatives to some Playbook accessories. Has anyone tried the USB cradle charger? I can plug it in to the computer or maybe a usb wall port... Sync Cradle Dock Charger + USB Cable For Blackberry Playbook EA508 | eBay
What are the best bluetooth keyboards? Looking for something small, maybe this Sync Cradle Dock Charger + USB Cable For Blackberry Playbook EA508 | eBay
Anyways, just asking if anyone has tried this, or if anyone has used similar things and can share their views.

- For chargers and related accessories stay with OEM products for greatest compatibility. For cases and related accessories the field is wide open and you might even buy a couple cases of differing styles depending on your use cases. For stylus and keyboards at this time there are no OEM products in this category. As soon as Bluetooth-enabled smartphone keyboard on my BlackBerry smartphone is available that is all the keyboard I will need unless doing extending typing sessions for research and academic assignments. I ordered a keyboard in a case a while ago from China and am still waiting its arrival.12-11-11 04:56 PMLike 0
- I bought this keyboard a while back http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...bUvbUpU6929528 and it works perfectly. I agree with previous opinions: Stick with OEM for stuff.12-11-11 08:45 PMLike 0

- I also agree. Whether it's your phone, tablet, laptop, or any other tech stuff, you should always stick with the OEM charger. I've seen too many examples of a cheap aftermarket charger screwing up an expensive item. Aftermarket cases, mounts, etc are fine. Shop around. You can find some really good deals.01-23-12 07:21 PMLike 0

- same here, as for charger, like the others have mentioned... I prefer the OEM rapid charger [regular or desktop]. I'd suggests you go check to your local Staples [that's where I bought mine & they were on clearance price for $13.50 for either model, btw I'm in NY]. When I saw they were for only $13.50 each, I figured to just purchased both rapid chargers, the desktop & the regular cable type.
Case wise for my PB I only bought a decent one, but it turns out to be pretty good case & not too expensive, either [it's similar to Blurex brand & Amazon have been selling the same price for $25 all along].
I'm also looking for the Capdase Soft Jacket for PlayBook which I think it's quite neat, the case can stay remain for desktop charging & also comes with a tray/cover adapter that also function as a cover to protect the screen & desktop stand with multi-angle view. Unfortunately I can't find any online store in the US that sells the item, I know that in asia region it's pretty easy to purchase it.
I also purchased the GTMax LCD Screen Protector, again can't beat the price for three screen protector & as with any brand screen protector, sometimes I have to swipe-gesture like twice because of the plastic protective film [I like the original protective screen that came with the PB, but it has the instruction up/down arrows, they should've just left it clear from the factory ].
Then I've purchased three of micro HDMI/type D to HDMI/type A cable, so I can just leave it one in my car trunk, one in the bedroom next to my TV and one in the living room's TV & they all work just fine, no problem at all.
Here's a video link about the
So, I hope with some of the accessories I've listed, purchased & currently using can be of help for anyone looking for PB's essentials add-on.Last edited by B_Berry; 01-24-12 at 10:21 PM.
