Sure, the official Apple keyboard peripheral and iPad case are cute, but wouldn’t they be nicer if they were combined? A Chinese company aims to conquer Apple to it, with this Bluetooth keyboard case showing up on FCC.
Shenzhen Paoluy Silicone Technology Co ‘s BL-BKB76 case appeared on FCC as a result of Bluetooth connectivity it’d use to link up to an iPad, minimizing cables and excess accessories-though unfortunately it doesn’t dock and charge the iPad like Apple’s keyboard does.
Apparently the keyboard gives 90 hours’ use, or 100 days of standby time-which looks like more than enough, whenever you examine the iPad’s roughly 10hr battery life when watching video or browsing the net .
The only other case we’ve seen for the iPad which has an inbuilt keyboard is ClamCase’s forthcoming one , which turns the iPad into something resembling more a laptop than the rest. Really, I’m surprised we haven’t seen anything before today’s Chinese case. [ Wireless Goodness via SlashGear ]
