Everyone and their mother is putting out a Bluetooth keyboard case for the iPad mini these days. Logitech just announced its Ultrathin Keyboard for the mini yesterday, and now Belkin has lifted the curtain on its FastFit keyboard/case combo.
The FastFit promises keys are that are larger than most 7-inch keyboards. The case is made of anodized aircraft grade aluminum and clocks in on the thinness meter at just 7mm.
The FastFit connects via Bluetooth. Belkin promises 155 hours of active use without needing to recharge. Magnets hold the iPad in place and automatically wake/sleep the iPad when you open and close the case.
Like Logitech’s case, the FastFit will cost $80. It will be available for preorder soon on Belkin’s website.

You had me at aluminum. This is the one to get.
Aluminum and half the price: http://ipadminimod.com/shop/ipad-mini-keyboard-case/#prettyPhoto
It’s nice but it doesn’t have the magnet connections. It looks like a snap in fit. For me, I would prefer magnet connections.
