VersaKeyboard: World`s First Disappearing iPad Air Keyboard
Announcement posted by Gap Marketing and Management 05 Mar 2014
The new case combines the same ultra-stylish design found in Moshi`s best-selling VersaCover iPad and iPad mini cases
Sydney, Australia - March 04, 2014 – Moshi, creator of fashionable high-end mobile accessories, today announces the Australian release of VersaKeyboard, its first ever iPad Air keyboard case combination. The new case combines the same ultra-stylish design found in Moshi`s best-selling VersaCover iPad and iPad mini cases with the functionality and convenience of a detachable Bluetooth keyboard.
VersaKeyboard is the first iPad Air keyboard case to feature origami-style folding + stand functionality, plus a Bluetooth keyboard that effectively disappears when not in use. This is accomplished through a totally unique, ultra-slim `sliding' keyboard storage feature built into the back of the case.
Most iPad Air keyboard cases make it difficult to use the iPad Air as a simple (keyboard-less) tablet, which is the mode in which iPad Air owners use their tablet the vast majority of the time. And when these cases are closed, they can transfer annoying and unsanitary oils from the keyboard to the iPad Air screen.
Detachable or wireless iPad Air keyboards can offer convenience, but require storage when not in use, so easy retrieval and transport can be a challenge.
With VersaKeyboard, Moshi aimed to create an iPad Air keyboard that lets people effortlessly switch between using iPad Air as a tablet and using it with a keyboard, without the hassle of a bulky cover, messy finger oils or having to locate keyboard storage.
VersaKeyboard is also incredibly thin and light at 1.5cm thick and 380g, and the keyboard itself is nearly full-size at about 80% of standard. It features the same `scissor-key` functionality found in Moshi`s popular Luna backlit keyboard for Mac, a design that offers users a high level of typing comfort and responsiveness.
With the latest in Bluetooth technology, VersaKeyboard can be conveniently used up to 30 feet from an iPad Air. The keyboard, which charges via micro USB, provides 130 hours of battery life to maximise time between charges.
