CES 2016: Incipio unveils new ClamCase keyboards for latest iPads

Incipio purchased ClamCase, maker of keyboard cases for iPads that make them look and feel more like MacBooks. Now, the company is releasing its latest hardware. It is interesting to note that these ClamCase products have extra features like battery chargers for iPhones, keyboard backlighting and even an integrated screen for notifications. Hit jump fpr the lineup of products coming in Q2 of this year.

ClamCase+ for iPad Pro ($170) and iPad Air 2 ($150), each promising a backlit, full QWERTY keyboard inside a gray, silver, or gold housing, using Incipio’s 360-degree hinge to attach to each iPad. The iPad Pro version has an Apple Pencil storage slot, and both versions will let you adjust keyboard backlight brightness.

ClamCase Prompt for iPad Air 2 ($200) is unique in combining a Bluetooth keyboard with a built-in rear OLED screen, enabling users to receive notifications while the keyboard is covering the iPad’s screen. This introduces a “non-disruptive way to receive smartphone notifications during meetings, study sessions, and more."

ClamCase+ Power for iPad Air 2 ($200) combines a black, backlit Bluetooth keyboard with a 6000mAh, 2.1-Amp battery that can recharge the connected iPad or another device; a micro-USB port recharges the keyboard and backup battery at the same time.
