The Apple iPad has certainly taken the world by storm and this has opened up a huge market for iPad accessories. However, it seems that many of them cannot fulfill all of your needs. You have to buy separate accessories to achieve separate goals. Such is not the case (no pun intended) with the iPad Bluetooth Keyboard Case.
As its highly descriptive name will lead you to believe, this product effectively combines a protective iPad case with a Bluetooth keyboard. This way, you can keep your preferred Apple tablet device well protected on the go, while also gaining access to a true QWERTY keyboard for when you need to get in some serious typing. The iPad will never truly replace your laptop, but this will make it a suitable replacement for your netbook.
The iPad case is made from an attractive black synthetic leather and it features a magnetic flap for ease of access. You set it all up in just three steps and the fully integrated Bluetooth keyboard comes with iPad-specific buttons like Home, Volume, iPod controls, and search. The lithium ion battery, which can be recharged using the provided USB cable, can provide up to 90 hours of continuous use.
You can find the iPad Bluetooth Keyboard Case at ThinkGeek for $59.99, which is likely cheaper than buying a case and a Bluetooth keyboard separately.

I bought one and generally like it, with the following caveats: 1. The bluetooth connection drops out randomly and periodically, which is very frustrating. 2. There’s no battery level indicator. Its like driving a car with no gas guage; if you dont want to end up on running on fumes with an imminent critical deadline, you havve to charge it frequently. 3. The keyboard has been reorganized the ‘ apostrophe ‘ key moved down a row and the Enter key takes its place–resulting in unwanted paragraph breaks. 4. Some of the keys are touchhy <—- and output douuble characters. My rating: 3/5
