and no – no case or stand with the KB right now, but I’ll look into the Origami! So far I think I’m alright with the angle that the Smart Cover provides, but only time will tell.

As much as I love the on-screen keyboard of th iPad for a touch screen device, there are some things that just work better on a real keyboard. When you are doing those kinds of tasks, the experience is much more solid when you can do everything you need to do from the keyboard, rather than switching back and forth between the keys and touch input.

By the way, do you use any kind of case or stand with your keyboard? I never found a satisfactory case that would hold both my iPad and the keyboard, but I did recently pick up a slick little item at the Apple Store that works well with the both of them. It is the Incase Origami Workstation. It is a very thin case that wraps around the Apple Bluetooth Keyboard for travel. The keyboard snaps into a plastic insert, so it is held securely. When the case is folded out, it actually turns into a nice little stand for the iPad, which will hold it in portrait or landscape. It is thin, light, and not too expensive at around $30. You might check it out if you are ever looking for a more integrated solution for your keyboard and the iPad. One of these days, I plan on doing a little review of it. I just haven’t gotten around to it yet.
