This ultra-thin screen cover not only protects your iPad mini's screen & acts as a stand, but also doubles as a Bluetooth wireless keyboard so you can enjoy a comfortable typing experience without detracting from iPad mini's thin, light & cool style. Simply slide your iPad mini into the recessed groove behind the keyboard to hold your device at the ideal angle for both typing & interacting with the touch screen. The protective screen cover is secured by powerful integrated magnets & features automatic wake / sleep functionality to preserve battery life. The EasyType keys offer a traditional typing layout in a small form factor plus iPad mini function shortcut keys for the commands you use most often, such as copy, paste & more. Ultra-thin aluminum design weighs just 208 grams, almost 1/3 less than the iPad mini. Charge the Ultrathin Keyboard Cover Mini using the included USB cable. Get up to six months of battery life on a full charge.
