AppleInsider StaffOwners of both sizes of Apple's iPad saw their accessorizing options expanded on Tuesday, with Logitech announcing new Keyboard Folio cases for both the iPad and iPad mini.
The new Keyboard Folio cases from Logitech wrap around either an iPad or iPad mini, protecting the tablet and giving users access to a compact Bluetooth keyboard. The attachments feature built-in Smart Cover functionality, allowing them to put an iPad to sleep or wake it by closing or opening the case.
The Keyboard Folios feature built-in magnets that hold the iPad when in typing mode. They also come with a USB cable charger, which provides the Folio's internal battery with up to three months of power, assuming two hours of use per day.
The Keyboard Folio for iPad and Keyboard Folio for iPad mini are available for preorder now at Logitech's site. The devices come in an array of color and fabric options.

Wow. Bulky and ugly. They got out of the gaming and audio accessory fields to focus on this?
Another folio in a long line of products I have never cared for. It would be nice if a company made a slim folio that looked exquisite and the iPad was able to be removed easily.

Their Ultrathin iPad keyboards are nice: no folio, less bulky.
And they still make all kinds of gaming and audio stuff, as well as their decades-long bread and butter: mice! I don't think iPad cases are their focus at all.
Interesting. The products look clunky but functional. But what kind of production was that? A white shirt with a white background? He almost come across as a talking head! Just because one is VP of Brand Development, it doesn't mean one ought to present the products. Why didn't he think to get someone able to pitch the product with an enthusiastic tone in their voice - if not hire a professional, perhaps open up a competition amongst the members of his department? The same goes for Philip W. Schiller, he's not a great presenter. I reckon he should open up a competition amongst his staff to present on behalf of the company. Perhaps he could briefly appear and then hand over to someone with 'that certain something'.

Spot on, Nor Craig Federighi, for that matther. Neither are great presenters. People can say what they want about Forstall but he wasn't horrible at presenting, at least.
