ZAGGmate is a protective and functional companion to the Apple iPad that accentuates both the appearance and utility of Apple’s innovative device.

    I can honestly say that with all the iPad accessories…this is exactly what iPad and future tablet owners need. Everybody knows that I’m the biggest ZAGG babe. And yes, we will probably be doing a giveaway of this soon. That’s how cool this is! Thank you to Ed for featuring this.

    Having played with both versions personally, I can agree that it is exactly what the iPad has needed. All those people that bought a keyboard, bought a stand, and then bought a case or a bag to carry it all in have lost the point behind the iPad and other tablet PC’s. The ZAGGmate lets you reclaim that combination of style, form, and functionality.

    This is really a thing of beauty and fantastic function. You are absoulty right that all the extra stuff takes away from what the iPad is, but protection is so crucial. With this you have it and style.
    Totally deserving of an innovation award. This s going to be huge. An answered to a huge need!

    Very sweet! Reminds me of the keyboard attachment for the Palm Pilot. Albeit, this is way cooler!

    I totally wanted one of those back in the day. The fold up one in the aluminum case?

    My 15 y/o sony clie sj33 budget could not afford the price tag.
    I agree, this is way cooler!

    I would so totally get this if I were an iPad user. Contemplating switching over to the dark side though ;)
