Belkin launching its own iPad mini keyboard case

Let the iPad mini slim keyboard-case wars begin! After Logitech announced a mini version of its Ultrathin bluetooth keyboard, rival Belkin has dropped its own take at this growing niche in the accessory market. As Belkin's website explains, "the FastFit Keyboard Case for iPad mini is the lightest and thinnest enhancement to your iPad mini experience! It's a case for your iPad mini and it's a comfortable, long-lasting wireless keyboard, allowing for easy typing to update social media, a blog or even texting!. The keyboard's TruType keys are larger than most 7" keyboards, and perform like laptop-type keys, allowing for fast typing with fewer errors than other small keyboards." Pre-orders for the FastFit keyboard case are now open. Pricing is expected to be $79.99.
