I'm getting a new IPAD soon and am trying to figure out the best case set up and wanted some opinions.<br />
<br />
I haven't used a Ipad yet but my plan is to get a Apple smart cover and then use a clear back cover that works with the smart cover or use the Zagg Shields plastic film on the front and back along with a smart cover. I'll probably get some sort of sleeve to carry it in when I travel but in general are the smart covers recommend and are they recommended with a case on the back and/or a shields type protective film? I don't really want to get a big bulky case for it. I don't think dropping too much of a worry since I will be seated 99% of the time most likely.<br />
<br />
I need a keyboard too although I won't use it all the time but does anyone have a suggestion on a good small keyboard that you can recharge and it gets a long life span off one charge? Or better yet is there a KB that will use the Ipad for power so you don't have to fool with batteries or charging?

iPad is an iOS-based line of tablet computers built around the device's multi-touch screen, including a virtual keyboard. The iPad includes built-in Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity on select models. An iPad can shoot video, take photos, play music, and perform Internet functions such as web-browsing and emailing. Other functions – games, reference, GPS navigation, social networking, etc. – can be enabled by downloading and installing apps.

iOS is a mobile operating system developed by Apple; it is a derivative of the Mac OS X desktop operating system, with which it shares many (but not all) common frameworks and other components. These include Cocoa Touch, the Mach/Darwin/XNU kernel and code from the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD). Each iOS application runs in its own secure sandbox to prevent altering other applications, the operating system, or any other data.
