Sena Keyboard Folio Case Turns iPad into A Netbook

[Maura]

​

Luxury leather case designer Sena Cases has come up with a leather case for the iPad that also incorporates an integrated Bluetooth keyboard, turning your iPad into a form of netbook.
The case is made of premium leather, with cut-outs for play-thru functionality, and features an integrated recessed collapsible back stand. Inside, the case has a soft velvet protective lining, plus multiple pockets for cards etc, with the iPad held in place by a secure flap with snap closure.

The integrated Bluetooth keyboard (V2.0) provides 45 hours of use, or 55 hours of standby time, and features function and sound/music control buttons. The keyboard is designed to be ergonomically sound with a low profile and soft buttons, and also has a water-resistant Silicone face. Charge and connectivity indicators are also built into the design.

The Folio Keyboard Case for the Apple iPad is available to pre-order prior to its October 7th release date from Sena online here and at Apple Retail and Online Stores worldwide for a special pre-order price of $129.99.

Why not buy a netbook?

Why not buy a netbook?

Because you cant pull the screen out of a netbook and carry it around and use it without the keyboard. Unfortunately, this case doesn't give you file system access, USB access, or any of the things a netbook makes possible

Keyboard included?

For that price, a keyboard should be included.

It does include keyboard.

I was actually hoping there would a cheaper version that would accept the Apple wireless keyboard.

Why not buy a netbook?

Netbooks take ages to boot from cold, they run slowly and they don't sport an impressive battery life. Also, they don't often have a touch screen, and those that might double as touch screen tablets don't have nearly the impressive interface seen on an iPad.

That's why I chose this over a netbook.

If I wanted a netbook I would buy a netbook...

 

[pallentx]

but what if you wanted an iPad that had some of the functionality of a netbook?

 

[Tinman]

How long will a netbook last when left on so you can get notified about new appointments, chat notifications, and whatnot?

The more I think about it, the more a netbook is not like my iPad.

Very cool, but a little pricey for me. I'll wait and see how it plays out first, and hope prices went down across the web.
