Logitech intros rugged iPad keyboard

Nope, you are not looking at a Touch Cover for Microsoft's Surface. This Bluetooth keyboard is from Logitech and it is designed for iPads. The Keys-To-Go is made with what Logitech dubs as FabricSkin, a textured, spill-proof surface that is just over 6mm thick. It'll easily fit into your bag and won't add too much weight at six ounces. Although if you are using the new iPad Air 2, this'll add almost 50 percent weight to that. The Keys-To-Go is $69.99 and it will come in red, teal, and black.
