I just received my loaner unit for review of the new Kensington Folio for iPad. Instead of doing one large review, I decided that I would break it down between an un-boxing / sneak peak, and then my follow-up review on the actual usage next week.
You can find out more on the product here. It's not released yet but it's available for pre-order. It retails for $99.99

The Folio is packaged in a cardboard box. With the Folio, you get a quick start guide as well as a mini usb cable for recharging the Bluetooth keyboard. The case itself is made with synthetic leather. The stitching adds a very nice touch to this. The keyboard is fully covered in rubber. I’m looking forward to using this and will report back the pro’s and cons next week.
