Laptop-Like Tablet Cases

CruxENCORE iPad Cover is an Aluminum Sheath with an Integrated Keyboard

— March 4, 2014 — Art & Design
Most of the time, you may be quite content to use your tablet's touchscreen surface on its own, but for those occasions when typing is required of you, the CruxENCORE is the perfect iPad accessory. Slip your sleek device into the aircraft aluminum case to give it protection and increase its functionality without creating inconvenient bulk.

The lightweight material affords a slim QWERTY keyboard that will have this setup looking similar to an Apple MacBook Air. Hinged connections between the gadget holder and the button-covered surface enable you to angle your screen to your preference, and even to turn the type pad around backwards so that it becomes a tablet stand. The CruxCase CruxENCORE helps you write emails and assignments and do work to enhance the business capabilities of your entertaining device.
