Zaggmate iPad keyboard case joins the fray

zaggmate ipad keyboard case
Have an iPad but still feel the need to have a case and/or keyboard to go with it? While we have certainly seen similar iPad cases with keyboards and even some cases made out of wood, you may want to check out the newest addition to the "iPad case with keyboard" category from Zagg. While there are two different versions of this new Zaggmate case, one with a built-in QWERTY keyboard and one without, I imagine the one with the keyboard will be the bigger seller of the two, especially for those looking to make their iPad their travel computer.

Made from anodized aluminum and packed with military grade high-density padding, the keyboard connects with your iPad via Bluetooth, enabling horizontal or vertical use. Priced at US$99.99 with the keyboard and $69.99 without, Zagg says the cases are "Coming Soon" but you can sign up to get an email notification when they are available for sale. Check out videos of both models below.

I just got one for Christmas (yes, I opened it on Christmas eve...) and I love it. While the edges might take a little getting used to, It's not really sharp, or hurting my hands. With the amount of typing that I do at college, with my iPad as my main computer, it's going to make it MUCH easier. I constantly get the right keys, so I'm not sure why people are having that issue. It's a great product in my opinion, and I'll be using it a lot.

I'm returning my ZaggMate in the morning. I don't like the sharp edges of the case, the position of my hands into the keyboard, the fact that no matter what Zagg tech says - I can't get the keyboard to give me the correct letters (yes I am operating with iOS 4.2.1), and the fact that the iPad just sits in a slot and tips out too easily. The good things? UPS delivered it to my door right when they said it would . Thank you Zagg for choosing UPS.

That looks pretty impressive to me. One thing I dislike about every keyboard case I've seen is that it becomes inseparable from the iPad, essentially turning your iPad into a laptop. This looks like you could easily take and use the iPad without the keyboard, which seems like it'd be preferable for many of the iPad's functions. Still, I wonder how easy it is to use that keyboard recessed in the case the way it is. I haven't used any keyboard yet with mine, but I am leaning more and more towards the Apple Bluetooth keyboard. It seems plenty portable, is still a full-sized keyboard, and has the advantage of not being in the way if you don't want a keyboard. But as far as the keyboard/case combo goes, this really looks like a great way to go.

You're right, those raised edges look like they would hurt.
