Padacs Apple iPad 2 Toccata 2 Keyboard Folio Case

You’re addicted to the iPad 2, which is why you need an easier and more secure way to do more proactive work with your newest vice. The Padacs Toccata 2 incorporates a Bluetooth keyboard made of silicone gel material that is resistant to dirt, dust and liquid spills, so you can enjoy your other favorite vices like coffee, cigarettes, donuts, etc while consumed with your gadget.

Editor's Rating 

With the serious iPad 2 user in mind, Padacs has designed the Toccata 2 for turning your device into a laptop computer. Made entirely of synthetic materials, this tablet keyboard case is just as thick as my iBook G4, but more compact, lighter and easier to transport. Its removable Bluetooth silicone keyboard is ideal for processing word documents, emails, surf the net, play games, or anything to preserve your device’s screen touch-sensitivity. The smaller size and smooth, soft touch of the silicone gel type-pad may take some time to grow accustomed to, but well worth your patience for something that proves more resilient than the standard plastic hard-shell keys. The Toccata 2 is compatible with Bluetooth enabled devices running Windows, MAC, or Linux, with a working distance up to 10 meters. The keyboard consists of 76 keys, 13 of which are dedicated to specific functions of the iPad 2. It runs on a lithium battery that allows for 45 hours of use between charges, with a charging time of 4-4.5 hours (pin connecting charger included). The stand display offers only one viewing angle, so to eliminate any concerns for glare, I also recommend using the Padacs Glare Guard 2 (sold separately).

Pros

• Dust & water resistant silicon keyboard
• Removable keyboard with 13 shortcut keys
• Up to 90 hour battery life

Overall: OKAY

The Toccata2 the best case scenario for those who want to do serious work with iPad2 or iPad3, without impacting their budget in a serious manner.
