My world has officially been rocked by the Scosche freeKEY. The Scosche freeKEY is a folding and waterproof keyboard designed to be used with laptops, tablets, iPhones and more!

The Scosche freeKEY is a wireless keyboard that works using Bluetooth connectivity. The keyboard has a range of 30 feet and also has a mini-USB port for charging purposes. The fact that this keyboard is waterproof is great since spilling liquid on a keyboard happens more often than you would like. Being able to [roll up this keyboard](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amber-kb-1) and put it in your backpack, cavernous pocket or man-purse should appeal heavily to users of tablets and smartphones who don't necessarily carry around the massive laptop bags designed to hold both computers and keyboards.
