Can I type on my iPad without laying it flat?

You have a handful of alternatives to attempting to type on a flat iPad.  Let’s face it, it’s inconvenient to type on the device when it’s flat against your desk or lap, and it’s too small to hold in your hands and type like on an iPhone or iPod Touch.  But of course, Apple really has made it easy to integrate the iPad into everyday life with little inconvenience.

$39 Apple iPad Case – This case maneuvers to angle the iPad in a more comfortable position for typing.  It also puts it at a more convenient angle for watching videos hands-free.

$69 Apple iPad Keyboard – This keyboard is built especially for the iPad.  In the back there is a special dock that props the iPad upright so you can type without holding the device.

You can always use the $69 Apple Wireless Keyboard for Mac.  You can put the keyboard in your lap, but have to find a spot to prop up the iPad, itself.

I would recommend the $69 Apple iPad Keyboard because it comes all inclusive.  You don’t have to find something to prop up the iPad with chances of it falling, and you get the feeling of a real keyboard.  People seem to be more comfortable tapping away on a real-life keyboard with buttons rather than a virtual, touch-activated keyboard where typing the right letter is a hit or miss situation.
