Belkin launches new keyboard folio and accessories for the new Apple iPad

Tuggerah, Australia – 8 March, 2012 – Belkin today unveiled a line of six newly designed folios for the new Apple iPad, including a redesign of its award-winning Keyboard Folio. With its newest folios, Belkin offers enhanced functionality for a wide variety of everyday activities, whether at home, at work or on the go.

“People use their iPads for an amazing variety of activities – taking notes at the office, watching a movie on an airplane, surfing the Internet on the sofa, cooking in the kitchen, blogging from the coffee shop, playing games on the subway, the list goes on and on.” said Patrick Sullivan, Director of Product Management at Belkin. Our new folios address the growing number of ways people interact with their iPad and make doing what you love easier, better and more efficient.

The redesigned YourType Folio + Keyboard combines the best of Belkin’s all-in-one Bluetooth keyboard and folio solution with a sleeker, slimmer package.
