iKeyboard Turns Your iPad 2's Virtual Keyboard Into A Tactile One

Here's something that will make you say "why didn't I think of that"? The iKeyboard lets iPad 2 users get the same feel of a real keyboard, or at least very close to the real thing, by providing tactile feel similar to Apple's chiclet keyboards. The iKeyboard lays on top of the iPad's virtual keyboard and by doing so, adds a look and feel of a keyboard you're used to typing on. You can lay your fingers on top of the keyboard without triggering the virtual keys, only when you really want to press down on the ikeyboards keys which then provide you with a tactile feedback of a key press. Those who use Apple's Bluetooth Wireless keyboard will want to take a look at this ingenious, silicone virtual keyboard cover? Yes! The iKeyboard is currently on Kickstarter and if you want one of these, you can pre-order yours for $30.
