Adonit Writer is avaliable now
The wait is over and the Adonit Writer first-generation iPad keyboard case is now available. You can order one for US$99.99 right now from Amazon or from Adonit directly. Hurry though, the Writer will only be available at that price until July 10 -- after that Adonit will raise it to the full price of $109.99.
Still waiting for the iPad 2 version? It's coming along nicely. Adonit is nearing production on it and hope to ship it to Kickstarter backers early next month. It will be available after they finish fulfilling the Kickstarter orders.
If you read my recent review of the keyboard case for the iPad, you know that I was overwhelmingly positive about the Writer. Having now spent a couple of weeks with it, I adore it even more than I did when I wrote the review. It goes everywhere my iPad goes and frees me from having to bring along a laptop whenever I might need to write anything substantial. I also appreciate the flexibility to be able to comfortably type while sitting without a desk or a table. Your millage might vary depending on how you like to sit.

This is an awesome product. My wife got one for her new iPad2. i've tried a couple of them, the zaggmate, and another one which is more rubbery, plus she tried the one in brookstone (horrible). The adonit writer is great. It blends with the aesthetic of the ipad/macbook pro line of all aluminum. In fact, if you don't know its not part of the ipad, you'd assume it was an apple product. I've only had a couple of chances to use the keyboard, but it types very well, the space key needs some adjusting too.
For the nay sayers, well, if you spend a lot of time typing since you're a writer (my wife is one of these people), and don't want to buy a laptop but want something more portable. The these systems are for you, especially this one. I'm sold, and am thinking of getting one for my iPad. I doesn't add much heft, you can use regular batteries if you run out (tho we use rechargeable AAA's). It's just cleverly designed and it works. Order one to make you're own decision/evaluation, they have a return policy (but you'll be out the international shipping since it ships from Taiwan and you ship back to Seattle area). I don't think you'll ship it back tho. We're totally sold.
How does the Adonit Writer compare to the Zaggmate? Can you use it for typing on your lap? Can you bend the keyboard backwards and use it as a stand? Can you bend the keyboard to the back of the iPad for touch use, or do you have to remove the iPad from the case to be able to use the iPad in touch mode comfortably?
