Kensington KeyFolio keyboard case for iPad (photos)

Finally, there's an iPad case with a built-in Bluetooth keyboard, but is it any good?

The KeyFolio is a leather case for the iPad that opens like a book and folds back, revealing a rubberized Bluetooth keyboard built right into the inside lid.

In its folded-out configuration, the KeyFolio feels like a mini-workstation, although the flat keyboard lacks any riser.

In closed form, the case feels like a thick leather folio. It packs flat for travel, although it's not an ideal case for opening and reading in portrait mode.

Side by side with an 11.6-inch Lenovo ThinkPad x100e, the iPad in the KeyFolio case has a similar thickness when closed, but a smaller keyboard than most 11- and 10-inch Netbooks.

Rubberized keys take some getting used to and feel small, but they're responsive once the keyboard's paired with the iPad.
