it arrived today. now it's made by Logitech and Zagg. I love it. when closed it looks like one of those metal clipboards that you'd see construction contractors lug around, but otherwise it's fantastic!
Marilyn posted a great review of this combo in the ipad accessories under the discussions thread. It is thorough and positive.

I considered the Zaggmate with keyboard combo, but had already spent $40 on a Targus VuScape protective cover... I evaluated it for 30 days and decided to keep it.
But I do a lot of writing so I got an Apple Wireless keyboard...a beauty.
What I like about the separation of the keyboard from the stand cover supporting the iPad2 (like a monitor). By placing the keyboard in line with the iPad2 it is actually EZ to reach over and touch the screen, much like using a mouse... of course there is no mouse.
But now the iPad in the case is actually EZr to hold when not using the keyboard...the cover is slightly padded and is soft. And I like the fact the stand works to help w/o the keyboard involved.... I can use a pillow to support the weight and it is much more stable than the Smart Cover stand action. Over time the iPad2 gets a bit heavy feeling (though it is great). I have used the iPad2 bare naked ... no case ... and it is great ... but I sure do like the magnetic on/off. I added the magnet. It is so nice to just lift the cover and it's on. Close the cover and it goes off. So convenient.
I use the keyboard on my Mac Mini also and I like it better than the mac keyboard with numbers. The new Apple BT keyboard has such great feel and touch and it is full size and I don't have to unlearn years of typing experience on a standard keyboard.
I know, the packaging of my arrangement is not as nice as Zaggmate. But it actually works better. I don't travel a lot these days, commercially ... retired ya know.
