Preview of CaseGoods TypeCase for iPad
Sometimes the most important things you see at Macworld Expo are the things that you don't like. For example, there were a lot of iPad case manufacturers who were showing off their take on case + keyboard combos. A lot of these cases use an awkward "chiclet"-type keyboard that, in my opinion, is worse than no keyboard at all. In an attempt to keep the cases relatively small, most of the manufacturers are using tiny keyboards that are difficult to use. When I returned from this year's Expo, I was curious to see what goodies I had received from vendors during the week I was in San Francisco. One of the boxes contained a review sample of a new iPad keyboard case from CaseGoods, LLC called the TypeCase. What makes this keyboard case different from the rest? Two things -- the quality of both the leather case and the keyboard. Leather case To start with, the cases are made of leather -- either standard leather or exotics. You've got a choice of black or tan in the standard leather, brown or black "croc texture" leather, a bright red "lizard texture" and black horsehair. All of the cases use a magnetic closure to keep the cover closed while in transit, and there's a leather kickstand in the back for propping the iPad in an upright position. The leather finish was quite nice, and the stiffness should protect the iPad from accidental drops and bumps. %Gallery-115512%
