Compatible Keyboard with my own case..

[PandaBear]

I have iPad 2 with Griffin Defender case. I've been looking for a keyboard I can use without sacrificing my case or having to take my iPad out everytime I want to use the keyboard. Any ideas? Thanks!

The Apple wireless keyboard works great with iPads, it uses Bluetooth and I'm writing this reply on it from my iPad mini right now.

But the mounting for it? Would it fit my ipad with the bulky protective case?

There isn't any mounting involved, it's a separate accessory - this is why I bought it. It's made so that you can have your iPad mini in its case and the keyboard in your lap, or on a table or 30 feet away. It doesn't interfere with the case at all.

Here's a link to the Apple store:

Best Apple iPad Mini Case detachable keyboard case

I am using this QQ tech iPad mini keyboard case Got it around November

I think its the best.

Reasons
1: its relatively competitive in the pricing $32.99 as compared to the higher range Belkin keyboard case $68 and the lower end Poetic $26.95

2: It has a detachable keyboard plus point : I can still use the case one day if the keyboard battery is used up after 2-3 years

3: It has a very cool name : "Tech" and I am someone who likes to adventure into new product

4: during November, brands like Belkin, Zagg have yet to launch their keyboard cases
