Logitech's Solar Keyboard Folio for the iPad: Sun-powered typing
Where green meets convenience: Logitech's latest iPad accessory ditches the USB charger for solar energy.
Logitech's been on a
roll with its well-made keyboard accessories for the iPad (the Ultrathin
Keyboard Cover is one of my favorites), but there's one big problem
with all these accessories: they need their own USB charging cables.
Logitech's just-announced
Solar Keyboard Folio adds a clever twist to the crowded iPad keyboard
case market by introducing a solar charger. Better yet, the case doesn't
look clunky.
The flexible folio-style
case orients to two different angles: one for typing, and one for media
viewing at an angle, which covers up all keys except for a row of
media-oriented controls on the bottom. Magnets will automatically wake
and sleep an iPad 2 or third-gen iPad, just like the Smart Cover and an
increasing number of cases and
Logitech claims that, on a
full charge, the Solar Keyboard Folio's Bluetooth keyboard will last an
astonishing two years when typing 2 hours a day.
The Solar Keyboard Folio
is currently available for preorder and costs $130. Based on the
description it certainly sounds promising.
