    I would like to get a keyboard for my iPad for christmas but I'm not sure what to get. I really like the one below but am worried about the lack of protection it offers because I would not be able to use a back case with it.

    I also thought about getting a Apple dock keyboard except it's not portable and has many limitations such as no landscape.

    So what do you guys use or suggest?

    Do you want a keyboard case, dock, external bluetooth keyboard, or what?

    For the case, definitely look at Clamcase. The Transformer edition in particular.

    Keyboard cases are an upwards of $100. ZAGG has some cheaper ones, but the clamcase is just so amazing.

    For under $50, you'll probably have to go for a no-name version from www.dealextreme.com or something lol.

    There is no way you will find a good keyboard case in that range. Look at the Verbatim bluethooth keyboards.

    Yes, but as you said, you cannot use a case with the first one, and the second is only portrait. TBH I would just get a good bluetooth keyboard and a stand/case.

    I don't know any keyboards, but that second keyboard in the OP is niiiiiiice! I'm going to think about picking one up.
