Possibly the best iPad case yet

Link to purchase if you're in Japan:
http://item.rakuten.co.jp/thanko/notebookcase-for-ipad2/?scid=af_ich_link_txt

Has built-in USB port, and micro USB for charging (plus to interface with the USB port), plus extra battery to charge the device on the go. And it looks super nice!

I'm seriously considering grabbing a refurb iPad 2 (that I can jailbreak to make full use of that USB port) just to pop in one of these things.

Edit: picture worth a thousand words:

I'd bet it looks a hell of a lot nicer with a black iPad 2.

Whoa. I suddenly don't want a macbook air. 😀

Edit, another is available in the US already?

Although it looks neat by design this case is very limiting. For times when you don't need the keyboard you'll have to take out the iPad, in which case you may still need a case to cover the naked body for protection. Not very mobile and a bit of a hassle imo.

Looks pretty slick. I've been doing a lot of searching for a keyboard case for my iPad3. I got a cheap one from china that I'm using to type this now and its decent. Definitely not on the same level as a real keyboard, but I've found myself use my laptop less and less now that I have this keyboard. I'm sure the logitech or zagg keyboard would have been better.

I like the concept of that keyboard, but it adds to much bulk to the iPad and at that point you might as well just get a macbok air.

pretty clever, would be more awesome when iOS will merge with OS X
