iPad (1st generation) keyboard case
Hi,
I am looking to buy a iPad keyboard / case combo for my iPad 1 so I can use it to take minutes at meetings. I know Zaggmate is good - but in the UK I cannot find it for first generation iPads.
Does anyone know where I can get a decent keyboard / case in the UK?
Many thanks,
G

You can buy a USA-keyboard Zaggmate 1 from Expansys, but the price is silly:

I just bought Kensington KeyFolo which is made up of synthetic leather (not pure leather) but have a good quality. It not only protects your iPad while you're on the road but also provides a handy wireless Bluetooth keyboard. Its simple and add no extra weight and minimal size. I use it in conferences and meetings. Its drawback is, sometimes the connection drops and needs to restart.

are the ipad Keyboards the same for iPad 1 , Ipad 2 and iPad 3
I was thinking of getting one for my iPad 1 , but will probably upgrade some day to an iPad 2 because of the webcam and would like use the same keyboard,

In my understanding, Zagg sold the rights to their original (aluminum) iPad case to Logitech, and it's the same product. The version sized for the iPad 2 will not fit the iPad 1. The sizing on this design is critical because it must mate exactly with the edges of the iPad to create a friction seal when closed.
By comparison, a vinyl case like the Kensington folio can accommodate small differences in height, width and thickness.

Zaggmate is ace. I bought mine new off ebay in the USA for $39 inc delivery (to USA) At that price it may well be worth ponying up the international shipping costs when compared to mia's link.
