When we spotted Luvvitt’s backlit Ultrathin iPad mini keyboard cover last month at CES, Luvvitt CEO Eli Altaras told us we’d see a version for the iPad at some point. It’s just popped up on Luvvitt’s website, packing the same rainbow backlighting as the mini version, in the same ultra-light profile. And it’s got a beefed-up battery to boot.
Add the ability to choose between seven different backlight colors and you’ve got what sounds like a sudden contender for champion iPad keyboard. Oh, and it’s only $90, less expensive than most keyboard cases — even non-backlit ones. Fits all iPads except the original.
