Zagg has released its latest iPad and iPad Pro keyboard case, the Rugged Book ($130), providing a protective case and keyboard combo designed for iPad road warriors. Joining the company’s Rugged Messenger released last summer, the new Rugged Book incorporates a wireless keyboard and detachable case that can be used in four different modes (book, keyboard, case, and video) along with an adjustable cradle hinge for multiple viewing angles and reinforced metal plating on the keyboard for a sturdy typing experience. The case also includes four layers of construction for drop protection of up to 6.6 feet, making it the most protective iPad case that Zagg has created up to this point. The keyboard uses a Bluetooth connection and provides backlighting that can be set to seven different colors, a rechargeable battery that promises up to two years of life between charges, and a magnetic sleep/wake function to automatically turn off the keyboard to preserve battery life. The Zagg Rugged Book is available for the fifth-generation iPad, 9.7-inch iPad Pro, iPad Air, and iPad Air 2.
