ClamCase Announces Its Keyboard Case for the New iPad
ClamCase has been making keyboard cases for iPad since the original one. They just announced the ClamCase for the new iPad. The matte black polycarbonate case turns your new iPad into a “laptop” for those times when you need to use a keyboard. The Bluetooth keyboard has scissor keys in a QWERTY arrangement, plus there are 14 function keys to control the iPad. The case has a 360 degree hinge so you can flip the iPad around into a (thick) tablet shape. It’s available in matte black for $149.00. According to the website, the iPad 2 ClamCase (in matte black, matte white, and the Trooper style) will also fit the iPad 3.
No matter how thin and light they are, iPads can be tiring to hold for long times. Laying them on your lap or a table top may give your hands a rest, but the iPad likely won’t be at a good viewing angle. With the Padprop, you can stand your iPad on your desk or even the seat-back trays on a plane or train. Because of the slingshot-shape, you can even use the Padprop as a lap stand by letting the Padprop fit between your knees. The Padprop is made of foam and weighs only 1.76 ounces, so you can easily carry it in your bag. You can adjust the viewing angle simply by sliding the Padprop up or down the sides of the iPad; the fit is snug enough that you don’t have to worry about the iPad slipping out. The Padprop is available to fit either the original iPad or the iPad 2 for about £14.99 (about $23.44 US); world-wide shipping is available.
