Belkin and Apple have been teaming up lately to bring an impressive array of accessories for use on the iPad Mini, but their newest release may be the best accessory they have created to date.
The Belkin Portable Keyboard Case for iPad Mini is a sleek, laptop-style, Bluetooth keyboard that will give you better control when typing complex things onto your iDevice. The keyboard comes packaged in a sleek, modern-looking, leather styled case. It’s fully integrated, meaning it’s “stuck” in place. The case folds up quickly and easily, helping to protect both the iPad Mini and the keyboard. You can also fold the back end of the case into itself, and place it behind the iPad Mini. This gives you a pseudo “computer and monitor” setup.
There are some unique features that come packaged with this keyboard, too, that were specifically tailored to the iPad Mini. You’ll get access to a variety of custom keys which let you turn your volume up and down, as well as pause and play music and videos. There are even some special cutouts within the casing that let your speakers and camera lens breathe. This will let you take pictures, and listen to music, all without having to remove your device from the keyboard case.
Setup is incredibly simple too, as the keyboard uses Bluetooth technology to sync directly with the iPad Mini. Technically, you could use this keyboard with any iDevice (although the case only fits the iPad Mini). This is the perfect accessory for the writer in your family, and it would make a great Christmas gift. Although it may set you back a little bit, considering that this keyboard/case combo will costaround USD $80.00. Remember, though, that you get what you pay for, and Belkin is backing its product with a one-year limited warranty. You can grab the Belkin Portable Keyboard Case for iPad Mini right now from Belkin’s website.
