Best Ipad3 case with keyboard? Can I use a Ipad 2 case for Ipad 3?

Check the ZAGGfolio 2 cases. They are really good. Not sure if they fit the new iPad though, but you could ask on the website.

In many situations, the iPad 2 case will not fit the new iPad. The new iPad is .03 inches thicker than iPad 2. I wound ordering the Zagg Folio Bluetooth Keyboard Case for the new iPad directly from Zagg, but according to Zagg's site, this case may now be in Best Buy Stores. You might want to check with them.

For my iPad 2, Ibought an Adesso case/keyboard model WKB-2000CD http://www.adesso.com/en/component/content/article/49-coming-soon/455-wkb-2000cd .html Works great & looks good. The keyboard is easier to use than Apple's on-screen keyboard. Do a Google search using the model number to get the best price. About the same price as Apple's covers & it covers the whole iPad. There's enough space in this cover to accomodate the iPad new slight increase in thickness.

This one says it's for the 3, but I can't be too sure how it will fit

I just got the Zaggfolio for 3 with keyboard and it fits perfect. Not super excited about the look or feel of the cover though. It does function well. Keyboard can be removed fairly easily. The IPad doesn't slide out as easily as their demo made it look. I bought two colors because I couldn't decide. The pink one looks cheap and not well made. . Keeping the purple and returning the pink. It might be because the pink is a light color .

Lara.....I too got the Zagg Folio with keyboard. I like it and it provides good protection, but removing iPad from the case is not as easy as I would have hoped and I like to read magazines in Portrait. When Targus released their Versavue Keyboard case for the new iPad, I'll probably get it. I had it on my iPad 2 and loved it. Targus hasn't released it yet. But, I will say the Zagg keyboard is MUCH nicer than the keyboard on the Targus case. So, another option for me would be to get the Targus Versavue for the new iPad (without Keyboard), which is available right now, and just take the keybaord from the Zagg out and use that keyboard when I want to type and keep my iPad in the Versavue case.........

I have a ClamCase for the iPad 2, and I've had very good luck with it. The case is sturdy, it's easy to pop the iPad in and out without scratching it, and the base unit holds a very long charge.

First, we have a whole bunch of threads on this, so a search would help, and it would offer dozens of answers to this you might want to think about including a long thread where I reviewed a whole bunch of keyboards for the ipad3....

But in short,

The Zagg Folio fits both the 2 and the 3 -- most people are finding in general that almost all cases made for the ipad 2 work with the iPad 3....

The Zagg has what I have found to be, by far, the best keyboard with the least errors -- in fact, I was able to get about 60 wpm on the keyboard without error after only a few minutes of practice. The downside is that the case is flimsy, looks kinda cheap, and its really hard to get the iPad out of the folio case -- I've found I have stopped using the folio at all, and just use the keyboard on my desk at work.

The clamcase fits both the ipad 2 and the iPad 3 -- it is by far the best overall case/keyboard that I have found. It looks great -- and the keyboard works well. Because of the realignment of the magnets in the ipad 3, it does not turn on/turn off the iPad like it does with the ipad 2, where that works flawlessly.

The downside is that the keys are cramped, and the error rate increases. With about a half hour of practice, I got about a 45 wmp typing rate, and that included several errors that required correction. It's a tradeoff because the keyboard feels good, the response is good, but because the keys are not seperated it is harder to type. I use this case only when I go on longer trips and don't want to take my laptop.

The nest overall keyboard is the Apple bluetooth keyboard without a case -- but it's a pain to lug it along, and you need a seperate "easel" for your ipad. Still, it's the best keyboard you can use -- and I get 65 wpm error free with this keyboard. I have one at home, and it's my keyboard of choice when you don't need the case.

Finally, I've gound that Brookstone makes a decent keyboard -- it works well, comes in multiple colors, and its actually more stable than the Zagg folio. The keyboard is not as good, though, and is plastic-y feeling. Still, it might be a fair tradeoff.

Almost all other keyboards are made by the same companies and distributed to third parties who put them into their own cases. I'd stay away from most of the other keyboards.

Overall -- for the convenience of the sheer folio thing, the Clamcase is about as good as it gets, even though it is about 50 dollars more than the Zagg and other similar models. Plus it makes your iPad look like a macbook, which is kind of cool.

I got the iPad 2 Zaggfolio case for my 3rd gen and it works perfectly fine. It's a perfect fit and everything functions as expected. I know Zagg advertised an early April release of their Zaggfolio for the 3rd gen; however, when I visited the local Best Buy, the iPad 2 versions all had a large sticker on the box stating they fit the 3rd gen. Like others have said, the case itself isn't all that special, but the keyboard is awesome and IIRC it is rated as one of the very best "mobile sized" keyboards available for the iPad. The keys are spaced perfectly, leading to few typing errors, and they have a good solid feel to them.

Even though I have the Zagg Folio with keyboard, I've decided I miss my Targus Versavu rotating case, so I'm getting the Targus and will remove the Zagg keyboard which easily comes out of the Folio case. For me the only disappointing issue with the Zagg is I read a lot of magazines in my iPad and portrait works best for most magazines. Even though you can prop the iPad in portrait on the Zagg keyboard, you have to remove the iPad from the Zagg which is difficult because the fit is very tight. Since the Targus permits easy 360 rotation, combined with the terrific Zagg keyboard, I'll have the best of both worlds.

I loved the ZaggMate keyboard case for my Ipad 1 but I don't see many folks taking about it here. The keyboard is fantastic and the iPad removes easily from the case. I see the "Mate" is now made by Logitech (?).

A guy at the Apple Store recommended the Adonit Writer. Has anyone used it?

I am also interested in purchasing a keyboard case for my iPad 3. What are your thoughts about detachable Adesso bluetooth keyboard case?? I need to get one Asap.

i bought a Aggmate keyboard kase (by Logitech) for myiPad 2 - works fine with my iPad 3 -really like it
