Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover

This is the new standard among keyboard cases for iPads. For a shrunken keypad, the type feel is “very, very good.” The sleek aluminum shell props up your iPad when open and snaps shut like an Apple Smart Cover when closed.

Apple Wireless Keyboard

The old standby for iPad users “feels absolutely great to type on” and has a build quality that puts hybrid keyboard cases to shame. It’s longer than any 10-inch tablet, though, and needs a protective case if it’ll be traveling.

Logitech Solar Keyboard Folio

A folio-style keyboard case adds protection for the backside of your iPad. The Zagg Zaggfolio was our favorite of those until the recent arrival of this solar-charged option. Switching from keyboard to touchscreen operation is unusually easy.

iZen Bluetooth Keyboard

Handcrafted from sustainable bamboo, this recyclable keyboard is compatible with most any tablet or smartphone. “Its slim design and natural look set it apart, and the bamboo can stand up to vigorous typing.”

Kensington Keyfolio Pro Universal Keyboard

Versatility is this folio-style keyboard’s strong point. It works reasonably well with any Bluetooth-enabled tablet, but at a cost: It “turns your svelte tablet into something resembling a coffee-table book.”
