LaunchPort releasing AP.3 sleeve for juicing your new iPad the inductive way

LaunchPort is finally releasing a sleeve for the new iPad, which makes it compatible with the company's inductive charging gear.

NoteBookCase for iPad 2: iPad Air

We’ve already seen a number of keyboard cases for the iPad that are going for the laptop look. Here’s a case that has just the right color to make the iPad 2 look a lot like a MacBook Air, although it’s actually made of plastic. The only thing missing is the large glass trackpad.

Aside from the usual Bluetooth keyboard and protective case, the NoteBookCase also has a built-in 4,000 mAh battery, which you can then use to charge the attached iPad 2 as well as other gadgets, thanks to its USB port. While the NoteBookCase is designed for the iPad 2, there’s a chance it’ll fit the 3rd gen iPad as well, as many iPad 2 cases still fit the new model.

You can order the NoteBookCase from Fancy for $88 (USD). If iOS had integrated keyboard mapping support for games I’d buy something like this or the ZAGGmate.
