Logitech Keyboard Case for iPad 2 – For Typing On The Move
The iPad . . . what do you do with yours? Well, the chances are that one thing you’d really like to do with it is to be able to type while you’re traveling. I mean, I know that the virtual keyboard is good for making the odd notes here and there, but for some really serious finger tapping typing at a ridiculously fast rate of wpm, you really need some sort of keyboard don’t you. That’s where the Logitech Keyboard Case for the iPad 2 comes in, it really does “kill 2 birds with 1 stone” . . . okay, that analogy might not paint a very pretty picture, but you know what I mean don’t you?

It’ll set you back around $99, but for anyone who likes to make the most of their traveling time it really is money well spent. For a starter, the Logitech Keyboard Case for iPad 2 really does feel like a real keyboard, with proper buttons which you actually depress instead of them looking flat or rubbery. There are also a variety of iPad function buttons along the top of the keyboard to make life even simpler. Function buttons include:
- home
- cut/paste
- volume
- spotlight search
- redo/undo
- picture gallery
- arrows
- pause/play/fast forwards/rewind
The lightweight aluminium frame is exactly the same size as your iPad 2 (well, I suppose it must be marginally bigger) so when you’ve finished typing up your meeting notes or creating your best-seller then you can just pop your iPad inside the case to keep it safe and secure. Realistically speaking, the Logitech Keyboard Case for iPad 2 does a better job as a keyboard than it does as a case, because although it’s a snug fit and safeguards your precious iPad with foam bumpers, there isn’t actually any protection offered to the back of the iPad so it can still get scratched and scraped.
