The iPad is a fabulous device. But there are times—cue wistful sigh—when we wish our delightful little device could act more like a laptop, with a keypad for touch typing. So we were practically beside ourselves with excitement when we found Solid Line’s iPad Case. It not only comes with a built-in Bluetooth 2.0 silicone keyboard but flips open in such a way that the iPad can be propped up to use as a screen, resulting in—ta-da!—an instant mini laptop.

Other things we love about this ingenious little case: The set up takes just a couple of minutes; its built-in lithium ion battery offers 90 hours of continuous use time; it doesn’t need an iPad Dock to work; and though strong, at just one inch thick and one pound, six ounces, it’s slim and light enough to fit into a handbag. This thing could seriously change our lives.
