Bluetooth keyboard case for iPad without extra charger?

Is there a good bluetooth keyboard case for the iPad that DOES NOT have it's own charger?

I'd like to find one that could be charged thru the iPad itself so that when I charged the

iPad that charge would also pass thru to the dedicated keyboard.


Any recommendations for such a set up?


Or any recommendations for the best dedicated keyboard case out there today?


Thanks

iPad Air 3 Wi-Fi

Hello,


Something to keep in mind, Bluetooth is a radio signal that transmits data not electricity. There are no Bluetooth keyboards that will not have its own charger because there is no way for it to charge its battery wirelessly. iPad Air (3rd generation) supports Apple's Smart Connector meaning you could magnetically attach Smart Keyboard to iPad. Apple's Smart Connector supports data and power so the keyboard will be powered off of the iPad.
