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

I started with CNET reviewing laptops in 2009. Now I explore wearable tech, VR/AR, tablets, gaming and future/emerging trends in our changing world. Other obsessions include magic, immersive theater, puzzles, board games, cooking, improv and the New York Jets. My background includes an MFA in theater which I apply to thinking about immersive experiences of the future.
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.
