    It's great to see some multitasking accessories starting to come out for iPad Air. Today's TUAW Video Review takes a look at Kensington's new KeyFolio Thin X3 keyboard folio for the iPad Air, which not only acts as a protective folio case and stand with a keyboard, but can also provide a charge to your iPhone. Specifications and Features PowerLift™ internal keyboard battery can be used to charge your phone Ultra-thin, form-fitting cradle maintains tablet's sleek profile with enhanced drop protection Integrated Bluetooth® keyboard with 6 rows of high-performance scissor keys QuickFold™ design hides keyboard to enable streamlined viewing mode KeySense™ Power Channel automatically turns the keyboard on and off Automatic tablet wake and sleep modes when cover opens or closes Magnetic closure for a safe and secure fit Weight: 15.5 ounces (439.4 grams) Thickness: .75 inches (1.9 cm) . Conclusion Between the extensive protection the case provides, the nice keyboard, the external battery pack capability, and a number of other features highlighted in the video, I found the Kensington KeyFolio Thin X3 keyboard to be an excellent choice for protection and versatility. My only complaint is that the "Thin" is a bit chunky and heavy compared to other keyboard cases on the market. Rating: 3-1/2 stars out of 4 stars possible
