Is this the logitech keyboard a couple of people mentioned yesterday?

No. It is the one I have, though. Not the "ultrathin" product, and it does not have a clever magnetic hinge.

I liked the one I have (designed by Zagg, peddled by Logitech, somehow both brands are printed on it, model Y-R0023) for about seven months, right up until the "T" key fell off. It protected my Ipad somewhat, it's very light and handy, and it allowed touch-typing whenever I wanted.

My T can be reattached, but it will fall off again after a while. I am constantly checking to verify that I still have it.

Later, one of the arrow keys fell off, but I reattached it and it has behaved itself ever since.

I second [livejournal.com profile] autopope's recommendation for a neoprene sleeve. I found one for about eight bucks with a zippered outside pocket. This is big enough to carry a charger and cable, my Wee Bag O' Mac Dongles,* a microfiber cloth to caress the touchscreen, and some earbuds. It's also frequently good for retaining the T key when it falls off again.

Dongles I have for the Ipad, perhaps in excess:

One to read a camera's SD card
One to attach a USB connector, for cameras and (not officially supported) USB audio input devices
One to display video on a HDMI screen
One to display video on a VGA screen

As well as:

One extra Apple charger for my bedroom at night
Many cheap extra Ipod-to-USB connector cables for home computer, work computer, laptop bag, bedroom charger, and automobile 12v-to-USB charger... they were $1 each at the Dollartree store, so why not sprinkle them around, per Proni's Second Law?



* I'm still hunting for a neoprene sleeve that sports the MacDongle clan's tartan.

Thanks, even if it isn't ultrathin it looks like it might be suitable for my needs and reasonably strong. The ultrathin one is NOT cheap.
