I've been on the hunt for a nice android tablet with a touch cover like case.

I've gone through two transformers (both with hardware and rooting/unlocking problems) so a transformer isn't exactly what I'm looking for.

The Sony Xperia Tablet S would be a good choice, because it has a nice case with a flat touch cover like keyboard, but... There is no ROM development due to Sony's abandonment of the Devs.

My budget is $400, so you're thinking "Nexus 10!! Nexus 10!!" Now while that would play nice with its two younger brothers that I own, there's no good keyboards.

tl;dr has to be able to be rooted and flashed with custom ROMs, has to cost no more than $400, can't be a transformer, has to have a nice (thin) keyboard built into a flip cover type thing like the touch cover or Sony case.

:( I'm lost in a haze of tablets
