Logitech has debuted a Microsoft Surface-Like FabricSkin Keyboard Folio for the iPad and a Logitech Folio for iPad and iPad mini..
The FabricSkin folio features the first Bluetooth keyboard with its keys seamlessly fused into an interior fabric. Its full-size keys give you the tactile feedback you’re used to in a traditional keyboard, but in a sleek new look. The keyboard folio’s high-end fabrics are treated with a coating that is liquid repellent to help keep your folio looking new for longer. Hidden magnets hold your iPad in two convenient positions, snapping your tablet securely into typing mode and ensuring the folio stays shut when you’re moving around.
Designed for the iPad or iPad mini, the Logitech Folio features the same sophisticated style and premium materials on the inside and outside to safeguard your tablet while you’re on the go. Magnetic closures minimize the risk of damage to your tablet and its screen while in transit. For an extra measure of convenience, its four-way flip stand allows you to view your tablet from the stand without having to hold it.
Pricing and Availability The Logitech FabricSkin Keyboard Folio for iPad is expected to be available in the U.S. and Europe in May 2013, for a suggested retail price of $149.99 in the U.S. The Logitech Folio for iPad and iPad mini are expected to be available in the U.S. in May 2013, for a suggested retail price of $69.99 and $59.99.
iPad keyboards are not really useless. From my personal experience as a web developer, I do a lot of my programming work on my iPad when I'm away from my desktop and keyboards are much faster to code with. It's a very portable and lightweight alternative to taking my MacBook everywhere I go.
