Belkin YourType Folio
There’s no shortage of iPad keyboard cases to choose from, but this one from Belkin, designed for the new iPad, has a neat trick up its sleeve: the keyboard is detachable, held in place by Velcro.

Cloth
A piece of cloth over the keys?
Some Dell Laptops circa 2002 had an issue with some keys eventually marking the LCD.

1. Buy an etch-a-sketch from the Rotten Apple
2. Then connect up a dodgy, wobbly keyboard that would shame a laptop from Trotters Independent Traders.

Re: Fantabulous
3. Buy a proprietary connector just to be able to save your work to another drive.
Call a spade a spade
So this is basically a rescue deal for Apple-obsessed fashion victims...
"Bought one of those crappy laptops without a keyboard? Feel inferior no more!"
It's like buying a roof and doors for a quad bike.
