Case for Apple BT Keyboard?

Tunney · 16 Jul 2010 at 07:51

I've got an Apple Wireless Keyboard for my MBP. I don't use it very often but do tend to take it with me when I'm travelling with my laptop. I'd really like a soft case to transport it about in.

Do any 3rd parties make cases for Apple keyboards? I've tried Googling for one without any success.

You travel with a keyboard for a laptop?

Depends on where, but I can see the reasoning too. My bluetooth keyboard will certainly accompany my macbook when I go to France for a week, however if I was going to a lecture or something then no.

Why?

Travel means minimal gear?

Because if I'm going to be shacked up somewhere for a week/fortnight, and need to do a fair amount of typing, I'd rather be comfortable for the sake of carrying the keyboard in my laptop bag.

It's also a good remote.

I came across this - http://www.sfbags.com/products/keyboardcases/keyboard.htm . It's such a tiny keyboard so I'm sure there are loads of options you could go with. If I was going to take mine out and about I'd probably just pop it in a thick plastic document wallet and slip it in whatever my MBP is in.

Yes, I use it a lot for work. I usually have access to a large external monitor where I go, so using the MBP's keyboard isn't practical.

Thanks, I'll take a look.

Seriously?? A case for the keyboard??? Why not just bung it in the luggage and just wrap clothes round it???

Yeah, I've got to agree, you must be nuts if you think people really make a case for a keyboard!

Just get a big enough laptop bag that has a spare pocket/compartment for it, otherwise find a small sleeve for a netbook or any other small padded container.

It is an apple thing!

wouldn't be complete with out a case

Exactly. My mouse already has a case.

It keeps dust off when not in use too.

Nexus · 16 Jul 2010 at 18:00

Oh dear, what else do you keep in cases?
