That's going to be tough, most people either prefer full-size bluetooth keyboards, or else they buy a device with a built-in keyboard (which I appreciate is what you're trying to avoid...).
This may be the nearest you'll get, but it didn't get a very good review:
That looks *much* too thick, but otherwise isn't too bad.
I think I'm leaning to trying to make a case that would hold my BT keyboard and tablet. The 810's single card slot -- let alone its only being a mini slot -- make me unexcited about getting one. If I can solve this, and get the OS2008 firmware, I'm gonna be pretty generally happy with this device for the next two or three years, I think.
Are you talking about the Freedom Slim Keypad? That looks like it *might* be okay. OTOH, if it's $100, I'm going to keep thinking about a case that will just hold my folding BT keyboard.
I forgot to mention: anyone making a keyboard gets bonus points if there's a decent way of getting a Meta key (as well as control). This is a Unix device. I'm still outraged it can't run emacs... :-)
That's merely a relabelled Freedom Mini. These are all over the place. A bit clunky, but IMHO better to handle than its thinner successors, as it still has got calculator style keys.

yeah, the freedom slim keypad.

I don't think I'd like either the old freedom mini or the freedom slim, which is said to be out this month. But check the freedom mini duo (3.6 x 2.8 x 0.24 folded): http://www.freedominput.com/site/ind...d=14&Itemid=29
Not sure if that 2.8" is a killer for you or not. The N800 is 3" tall, so it's still smaller than that. But you said 2.5", maybe the other half of said case is smaller. Looks like a nice keyboard to me.
I'm using the Palm diptych here: http://www.antonline.com/p_PalmOne--...rd-_317227.htm
Folded, it's exactly the width of my N800, though it's taller. I throw it in one jacket pocket, and the N800 (in it's sock) in another. It's quite ruggedly built for such a thing, so when folded, it doesn't really need to be in a case. I think I will be getting a hard case for the N800, but I don't need the keyboard to fit in the case. OTOH, this keyboard is big enough, perhaps I should make the case mount on the keyboard. (Not sure what I'll do when spring rolls around.)
