Got the tablet today, no problem on fitment but tablet recieved has no bluetooth
Unit is literally mm's off but nothing slight grinding wont fix. Reordering one hopefully with the bluetooth








besides that
learned that this unit will be great, powers on as soon as power is plugged so no problem
but noticed one issue with screen home and back buttons near corner slightly hard to hit, not too big of a deal but still might warranty doing actually external button


Button labeled home is actually considered a back button.
Back button might be nice as external. Might be a good idea to use as stealth switch.

Power button  would be nice to physically power unit down if necessary but i doubt it would be.

One thing on my mind was if the motorized housing folds down and obvious the key still on position the screen will stay on if in settings set to stay keep screen on when charging.  Why not use a TILT sensor in the housing to give the unit power when standing up, i.e. like a hood open and then when it closes, take away its power so it allows the unit to "time out" in one or two minutes so when housing is down the screen isnt wasting power and burning the screen. hitting a bump or parking on a hill the tablet should still act fine for the tilt as it will only cut power for a second and come back, the screen wont time out right away.  I would not need to touch hardware buttons at all or open tablet up.

OR use magnetic contact switches set at a middle point on housing and housing holder that contacts only for split second to click the screen off or on power button wise while it moves from one spot to the other
This would have to open tablet and wire to hardware power button.
