I think you need to work out how you want to dismiss it, then trigger off that. View.EndEditing(true) gets rid of the keyboard, but how you trigger it is up to you.
The tap gesture isn't too bad, but as you said, it takes over all taps. I quite like the scroll one - maybe you could also trigger it off the scroll event/message on the TableView? Putting a toolbar or view on the keyboard can work, too - PlainText does it quite well: https://itunes.apple.com/en/app/plaintext-dropbox-text-editing/id391254385?mt=8 I've never found a solution I liked enough to keep it in, except the toolbar one, and even then it was clunkey.
