There are a surprising number of people starting to use the iPad as a replacement for a MacBook, and that has also led to extended use of the Apple Wireless Keyboard in conjunction with the iPad. However, carrying a keyboard around was rather difficult, but WaterField Designs quickly released simple sleeve to protect the Keyboard while being transported. The iPad Wallet takes this idea one step further, becoming an easy to handle sleeve/case to carry your iPad, keyboard and other accessories while outdoors.
The Trackpad Slip is a sleeve for the Apple Magic Trackpad that is made from a ballistic nylon material with colored trim edge, which adds a nice touch. This is a very simple yet very effective sleeve for the Magic Trackpad. In case you did not know, the Magic Trackpad has a thin glass touch surface and the Trackpad Slip provides extra protection for when you're on the go. The fit and finish of the Trackpad Slip couldn't be any better, the Magic Trackpad fits snuggly into the Trackpad Slip and stays inside very secured. The interior is lightly padded with soft felt to keep the slimness of the sleeve to a minimum. The Trackpad Slip is relatively thin but it actually feels like it would protect your Magic Trackpad even from a fall. If you often take your Magic Trackpad along with you, I think the Trackpad Slip would be a great way to protect your Magic Trackpad. The Trackpad Slip is available in six trim colors. Price $25.
WaterField's Keyboard Slip is one of the most simplistic covers that gets the job done wonderfully. The Keyboard Slip is made especially to fit the Apple Wireless Keyboard that many of you may use on a daily basis and some may even travel with it. Why would you need this cover you ask? A simple answer would be to protect and keep dust, lint and whatnot you have inside you travel bag, pack or backpack away from your Apple Wireless keyboard keys. Chances are that if you put your keyboard into your pack, it could get scratched from various things you might have inside and of course unwanted little debris. The Keyboard Slip is a very simple yet good looking slip pouch for your keyboard that is well padded with ballistic nylon and light liner padding. It's very well made and the quality of the materials feel great. You have the option to change the color of the outline piping (pictured in white above) to a different color from the main canvas color, but the main canvas always stays black.
When you insert your keyboard into the Keyboard Slip, you will get a tight fit that is very secure even when the top opening always stays open, your keyboard will not slip out by itself. Even while the keyboard is inside, the Keyboard Slip manages to stay slim which makes carrying easy and comfortable. It does what it does and it does it well. If you're someone who has to have a cover for every gadget he or she own, then you just can't go wrong with this one. The Keyboard Slip is available in 6 outline colors with a price tag of $29.
WaterField Designs's Smart Case for the iPhone 4 is one tough pouch. The Smart Case I've been sent is made to fit an iPhone 4 with a Bumper case on, but it still offers the same protection as the slimmer Smart Case which fits the naked iPhone 4. Now, right away you can feel how ultra padded the Smart Case is with it's multi-layered padding that incorporates a high-impact, rigid insert. The Smart Case is lined with very soft Ultrasuede that helps protect your iPhone even more. This case is simply designed to protect your iPhone from drops and bumps and it does a great job at it. Once your insert in your iPhone, it will stay in there until you decide you need to quickly use it. There is only one top opening that does not close but due to how snug your iPhone will fit inside, it is not a problem. You still get access to your silent/vibrate switch, power button and headphones jack. The Smart Case has a very simple design and micro square texture to it on both sides with soft leather trim on the sides. Depending on the fit you choose, the Smart Case that is made to fit the iPhone 4 with a Bumper on will be very bulky. The Bumper Smart Case version will also work great with other slim cases.
The craftsmanship is just outstanding, you will not see any visible stitching on this slip pouch. The Smart Case feels very good in the hand and this micro squared texture even adds some hold grip. All Smart Cases come with a low-profiled stretchy pocket which can be used for cards, money and even earphones. Now if you are looking for great drop protection for your iPhone, I would recommend the Smart Case pouch. There are a few choices of colors and sizes depending on if you want your Smart Case to fit your naked iPhone or iPhone 4 with a Bumper or similar slim case. Price $39.
