Features of both the keyboard and case look decent.

I would like to see other case makers take a stab at this as well either using a 3rd party keyboard or even better the Apple BT keyboard.

they need to come out with a case that looks like that, but allows me to slip in the apple BT keyboard, and the Ipad.

Yep, I remember that report.

For some reason I'm turned off by that offering though. I know it's probably not the finished product, but I have a feeling it'll still be bulky, heavier than it should be, and of course pricey.

KeyCase may be the first of many till someone gets it right, not a bad first step though. If anything Apple should give it a go. Make a ver2 of their iPad case that has the option to stow away their bt keyboard for those that use it.

When I signed up to be notified when it was available, I was sent a follow up email asking me what I thought the price should be. If memory serves me, the choices were something like $99, $129 or $179. I chose $129 knowing darn well it will be most likely the $179.

My daughter liked it.... I have a few places it would be handy, but not enough to spend $99. Like the other poster said, give me something that holds my apple bt keyboard like that and I'd probably go for it to hqve just in case.

Neat idea if I did not already have the Apple Wireless Keyboard and a Skooba Netmessanger bag that it fits well in. And the Apple Wireless Keyboard allows for easy use with the MPB and iMac I have...

Does anyone know the MSRP on both of these products? I might be interested if it's a reasonable price range (under $60).

Read a review recently (can't find it now...). The keys are under a rubber membrane and the review didn't like the feel.
