Zagg has announced two new iPad keyboard cases in its lineup combining protection and ease of use for iPad users on the go. The new Nomad Book ($100) features two detachable bumpers so that it can be used with a variety of tablets, including not only the 10.5-inch iPad Pro, but also the older 9.7-inch Pro, 9.7-inch standard iPad, and even older iPad models, and includes multi-device pairing so that the keyboard can be used not only with the associated iPad but also an iPhone or other Bluetooth device. Nomad Book can be set up in different modes for typing, reading, or watching video, and features a reverse kickstand and adjustable screen angle for optimal viewing, and a rechargeable battery that provides up to two years of life between charges. Messenger Folio ($60), on the other hand, is designed specifically for the 10.5-inch iPad Pro, providing users with a lightweight keyboard that doubles as a case with a simple, minimalist design. A magnetic clasp holds the case securely closed, and the Bluetooth keyboard provides up to three months of battery life on a single charge. Messenger Folio also features a built-in holder for stowing away an Apple Pencil when it’s not in use while still keeping it readily accessible.
