Logitech Keyboard Case by Zagg – Laptop Killer?
May 7th 2011
You might be looking at an iPad and questioning how much of a portable iDevice it is. Will it match the capabilities of a laptop? Can it keep up with everyday tasks, not only at home, but in a personal, business & learning environment?
Standing alone, the iPad can do many things, especially thanks to the vast array of apps available these days. It is the device that everyone is talking about and is bringing a level of portability to our personal computer that we’ve never had before. A device like the iPad hardly needs anything extra to add to its brilliance but maybe this one accessory could be the icing on the cake. I am talking about the Logitech Keyboard Case by Zagg.
The Details
You might be thinking, why do we need another keyboard? Aren’t we moving away from bolt on’s and accessories and moving into multi touch devices? Well, yes we are but, for some users, the multi touch keyboard may not be enough to handle their everyday tasks or may not be a feature they are completely comfortable with. The Logitech Keyboard Case is an accessory that really gives the iPad an extra level of portability and usability, giving users an optional external keyboard and a handy case in one.
With all the different accessories floating around the world, sometimes you have to choose between something that looks cool versus something that provides functionality or protection for your device. What the Logitech Keyboard Case by Zagg has achieved is a stylish accessory that provides excellent protection and increased functionality in one package to compliment your already portable device.
The case is made from aircraft-grade aluminum with an anodized finish that matches the iPad. It uses Military-grade, high density padding for superior drop protection and is extremely lightweight – not to mention the addition of the built-in Bluetooth keyboard.
The Logitech Keyboard Case by Zagg covers all the bases – it’s innovative, it’s user friendly, it offers high grade protection and has a keyboard that works in portrait or landscape and also doubles as a stand for your iPad. It even includes special function keys for music control, volume control, slide show, home, and search. The Apple advertising might make you think that the Smart Cover is the greatest iPad accessory – and it’s pretty awesome – but here at iDevices World, we believe that The Logitech Keyboard Case might be the only accessory and case that you will ever need for your iPad or iPad 2.
Aside from all of this, the Logitech Keyboard Case by Zagg could almost be the laptop killer, if used with the right apps.
