An iPad case with a keyboard is finally here. Actually, it’s already sold out. The KeyCase iPad Folio with Integrated Bluetooth Keyboard is a thin leather stand-type case for the iPad not unlike other cases we’ve seen, except with a silicone Bluetooth 2.0 keyboard built in. The keyboard recharges with Apple’s standard iPad charge cable and lasts 45 hours. At the rough equivalent of US$90, it’s not a bad deal for a case that would always be ready to convert your iPad into a quasi-Netbook. It seems more ergonomic in landscape mode than the awkward, vertically aligned Apple keyboard dock.

If you were having trouble deciding on which case to buy for your iPad, here’s one more to think about. Case-Mate is debuting the Venture case for the iPad, and this one even comes with an included stand. The multi-function Venture looks like a smart, black portfolio on the outside with its polyurethane material and green lining. But the cover also folds over into a prop stand, which should be especially useful when you want to watch movies hands-free on your desk or even that little tray-table on the back of the seat in front of you on an airplane.

One of the latest contenders to step up to the iPad is the OpenTablet 7, a 7-inch touchscreen tablet that supports Flash-based applications and includes HDMI output and dual cameras. At 9 x 5 inches, with a 0.59 inch-thick body, the OpenTablet stays pretty close to the iPad form. You also get the same 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 2.1 support offered by Apple, along with a built-in speaker, microphone, cellular connectivity, and a headphone jack. A microSD card slot is the only storage on the device. The backbone of the system is Intel’s Moorestown Atom processor, engineered specifically around the needs of smartphones and tablets. The 7-inch screen used by the OpenTablet 7 is an LED-backlit TFT LCD that advertises multitouch support, but stops short of declaring whether it uses capacitive technology (like the iPad and iPhone) or the more common (less responsive) resistive screen.
