Logitech unveils ultrathin keyboard cover for the new iPad

Cover and Keyboard for Ipad

Logitech has extended its tablet line up with its latest keyboard accessory – the Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover – made for the new, third-generation iPad as well as the iPad 2. This all-in-one solution provides an ultrathin screen protector as well as a built-in keyboard so you can type easily and travel without worry.

"The third-generation iPad and its apps are designed to give you more control and creativity, whether you are editing photos and movies, making music or writing a novel," said Alexis Richard, director of product marketing at Logitech. "The new Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover – with its ultra-sleek, smart design and extended keyboard battery life – provides a convenient way for you to make the most of your iPad no matter what activity you are using it for."

This new partner for the iPad, the Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover protects the iPad’s screen with a slim aluminium cover that adds minimal weight to the tablet, and features a built-in keyboard that pairs through Bluetooth. When you're ready to type an email or watch a movie, the keyboard's built-in stand holds your iPad at the best angle.

Similar to a Smart Cover, the Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover attaches quickly and securely to your iPad with a magnetic clip. It has an instant On/Off feature, which means your iPad automatically wakes up when you open the cover, and switches to standby when you close it. And with a six-month battery life (based on two hours-per-day usage), you can spend more time typing and less time worrying about your keyboard losing power. With function keys for enhanced navigation, and a piano-black finish, this keyboard cover aims to add both functionality and style to your iPad.

Logitech also confirmed that the Logitech Keyboard Case for iPad 2 and the Logitech Tablet Keyboard for iPad from its current tablet accessories line up are compatible with both the iPad 2 and third-generation iPad.

Availability for the Indian sub region hasn’t been mentioned as of now, but the suggested retail price is $99.99 (Approx Rs. 5,157). More information on this keyboard is available here.
