When I go to China, I am always looking for the best and most innovative products. Sometimes these products are not yet in production and we need to specify the design and performance criteria.
At the last show in Hong Kong, I must have looked at over 100 different keyboard cases for iPad 2. None of them had exactly what we needed, so we put our heads together, outlined the design criteria and put our man in China on the chase for the case. Simon Liao is a young man that I met some years ago and is one of a new breed of entrepreneurs in China. He sources products for us, performs quality control, arranges shipping and keeps me up late at night discussing our cultures and the NBA.
The criteria for this case was based mostly on quality and versatility. The keyboard itself had to be a tactile keyboard, not one of those flimsy membrane boards that just do not provide the feedback your fingers need. Secondly, I wanted the keyboard to be removable, so that it could be put in any position and could also be paired with an iPhone if so desired. The viewing angles also had to be adjustable to make this a great product.
Simon got to work with our manufacturers and after a few prototypes, I believe we have the best iPad 2 Bluetooth keyboard case available anywhere. We decided to bundle it with a stylus too! I am very proud to introduce the Hammerhead Bluetooth Keyboard case, and am happy to announce that it is available now!
