Waterfield Designs iPad Case Includes Space for Apple Bluetooth Keyboard

WaterField Designs iPad Wallet

Most of us use our iPads for media consumption, web surfing and reading eBooks but there are those of us who use them as netbook replacements. In many cases, this requires the inclusion of a keyboard – typically the Apple Bluetooth Keyboard.

The problem with most iPad cases is that the manufacturers don’t take this into account during the design process. That’s why I’ve always liked Waterfield Designs – their attention to detail.

Waterfield Designs’ new iPad Wallet has a dedicated space to hold your iPad, charger, cables and yes, space to hold your Apple Bluetooth Keyboard. It will even fit your iPad while it’s still in the Apple iPad Case.

The Waterfield Designs iPad Wallet is made from 6 different colors of ballistic nylon with distressed leather trim starting at $79. D-rings, straps and other goodies are also available for a few extra dollars. It’s available for pre-order now with and expected ship date of October 31.

Booq Boa Folio for iPad: A Worthy Upgrade

Booq Boa Folio for iPad - Front, OpenI’ve been using Apple’s own iPad Case almost since I received my Magical Tablet on April 3rd. I continue to use this case for a variety of reasons: it’s slim and form-fitting, providing almost no added bulk; it’s lightweight, and dirt and dust can be wiped off easily.

The other folio’s that I’ve explored or reviewed are all nice enough, but have a few flaws (at least for my needs). They provide extra padding for protection and even offer a few practical upgrades such as pockets, but generally they’re all very bulky. Many of them are also made of leather which increases the price dramatically or worse, the quality of the leather looks pretty cheesy. (The incase Convertible Book Jacket is a perfect example. The leather is nice, but it’s FAT.)

So, when Boa released their Booq Folio Case for iPad, I was naturally intrigued. It’s a functional replica of Apple’s own case, but with a few extra niceties.
