Bluetooth Keyboard & Case Combo For iPad Crosses FCC

Tweet

Lots of people want a keyboard for their iPad, and while Apple does offer compatibility with their Bluetooth model, there is an inconvenience with using it that way. The issue? It is a separate device and therefor requires an additional spot in your gearbag. Well, one company may be looking to change that up a bit with a case and keyboard combo that was designed for the iPad.

The company is Shenzhen Paoluy Silicone Technology Co., Ltd and their case and keyboard combo has recently been spotted in an FCC listing. The case is black in color and, at least in the image appears to be made of leather. The case is sporting a model number of BL-BKB76.

Unfortunately we do not yet have a release date or price, however there are some details about use and battery life. First things first though, the case appears to be a standard book like case in that it flips open to the side. There also looks to be a flap closure with a magnet (?) to hold it in place when closed.

But more important than what we can see from the image, the case also holds a Bluetooth keyboard, which looks to be nice, but a final determination on that will need to be left to a hands on. Otherwise, in terms of specs, the keyboard will connect to the iPad over Bluetooth and has a quick connect button.

Furthermore, the keyboard is said to have a battery life of up to 100 days on standby and up to 90 hours of uninterrupted work time. Plus, it was noted that it can be fully charged in as little as 4 to 4.5 hours.

Of course, the price will be an important part and given that many of the iPad cases are already $50 and higher, I would likely guess this to be in the $100 or more (maybe as much as $150) price range. That said, even at more than $100 it sounds like a fair price.
