By connecting the new iPad or iPad 2 to a keyboard case, users can use the tablet like a notebook. At the same time, the case works as a protective shell that guards the device from scratching or other damages. Plus, as the case features a 360 hinge, it lets users adjust it to the best angle they like and supports iPad as a great stand. Empowered by these amazing functions, this streamlined three-in-one accessory for iPad 2 or iPad 3 is not being widely sought-after throughout the world.
In the United States, there are quite a number of manufacturers and suppliers of iPad keyboard cases, who produce the cases within the country and as a result they are generally expensive. The average price of made-in-America keyboard case-and-stands for iPad is around $100 USD while some exceptionally high-end ones are priced at about $150 USD. If you don’t care so much about pricing levels, I would recommend you to consider buying the keyboard case for your iPad from a US brand as quality is better guaranteed.
Anyway, if you just want to hunt for a cool add-on to your already super cool iPad tablet PC on a small budget, you are encouraged to purchase it from a reliable Chinese supplier directly. Comparatively, the prices for most made-in-China iPad keyboard cases are much lower – around $50 on average. However, in terms of overall quality as well as performance, these cheap cases may be not as good as those designed and produced in the U.S. In general, the protective function and the stand-supporting function are no difference while the typing experience may be slightly exterior – I said maybe.
In fact, the majority of those small branded iPad keyboard case-and-stands available at your local stores come from China. You know, shopping online from China is not very convenient and international shipping is getting really fast. Many re-sellers or merchants of electronic accessories choose to source the cases from Chinese suppliers simply because the re-sell margins are huge. This is particularly true considering that almost all China-based online shops offer lower wholesale prices when you order in bulk. Besides, today accepting orders in small wholesale quantities has become a trend extensively followed by all kinds of international wholesale or retail shopping websites in China. And the good thing is, even end consumers can purchase a single piece of stuff from such stores at an attractive wholesale price.
