ClamCase Converts Your iPad into a Laptop

Burn us at the stake (please don't) or take away our PC geek cred membership card (never mind, we'd rather be burned at the stake), but we have no problem admitting we like Apple's iPad. It's fun, it's functional, and it makes an awesome bedside or couch companion, lack of Flash support be damned. But one thing we're not so keen on is typing on the iPad's virtual keyboard, at least not for any kind of real work. Sure it's serviceable for hammering out a quick email or typing in a URL, but beyond that, it really kind of sucks.

While we're complaining about things we don't like with the iPad, we might as well moan about the $40 protective case Apple sells. It feels flimsy and even a little ghetto when you're shoving the iPad into it, but it beats scratching up your $500+ gadget.


It doesn't have to be that way, folks. Now that the iPad has been on the market for over a month, more and more third-party manufacturers are stepping to the plate with add-on devices, and one of them is ClamCase. The ClamCase consists of a chiclet style Bluetooth keyboard with tactile feedback, but it also serves as a case and stand. The all-one-solution essentially transforms your iPad into a notebook lookalike.

The case is made of high quality ABS plastic and shields against falls, breakage, dust, and dirt. From the pictures we've seen, it all looks pretty slick, and is perhaps what Apple's case should have been in the first place. No word yet on how much it will cost, but according to the company's YouTube video (see here), you'll be able to pick one up this Fall.

Improve the Magical iPad® experience by enhancing protection, efficiency and ease of use with the ClamCase™ the all-in-one: keyboard, case and stand with a sea of features under its shell.
