Where the hell is the price dude???!!! or am i blind today haha. Also this isnt a bargain as its your regular prices. Go advertise for free somewhere else, what is the bargain/deal in this??? (it looks good though i prefer a discounted price)
"tell 'em the price son…"
Hmmm, it will be a bargain if it comes with an iPad, but couldn't see why I can call this a bargain. Also price please!
It's $39.95 plus shipping
Estimated shipping & handling to Sydney & Melbourne CBDs is $1, according to the doohickey.
This looks exactly like one i bought recently which was $22 free shipping - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=18…
have you gotten yours yet? would you recommend it?
i have gotten it - its definitely something i would use at home or at work (i.e. stable surface). Could use it on my lap but it sits precariously in the absence of a flat surface.
Typing is quick and efficient but definitely not at the same level as a full size keyboard (if this is your priority then get a full size bluetooth keyboard).
key pros are mobility (near same dimensions of the ipad and very little weight addition), aesthetics.
key cons are no back protection (when you stow it away), no real solid lock into the slot (but perfectly fine when placed on a flat stable surface) and OKish keyboard experience (but much faster than onscreen keyboard).
i was happy to buy it for $22 for my occasional use.
thia is just keyboard though, above link is actual case as well
nah mate, its the same product - a "screen" case that turns into a keyboard with a slot for the ipad to sit in upright.
I didnt see a photo as a case sorry, i just looked again and there is a video in the ebay listing it looks really useful for some hectic facebook commentry lol Do you think it would work with an ultra thin back cover as i wouldnt want to get it scratched and i can use this as a case instead of buying a case for storage as well
Seems like a nice thing, but as anthman says, there isn't any protection for the back of the iPad when stowed away, as you can't use any cover on it. The ad talks about clamshell design, but to me it looks (just by looking at the photos) that there is no nice hinge mechanism, you just pop the iPad out from the its slot and lay it flat on top of the keyboard?
First rule price on title.
