by

Zagg at CES is showing off a trio of new keyboard cases that are designed for Apple's low-cost 10.2-inch iPad, including the Slim Book Go, the Rugged Messenger, and the Messenger Folio.

Priced at $99, the Zagg Slim Book Go for the 10.2-inch ‌iPad‌ offers up an ultra slim keyboard design along with a detachable case, and it is designed to be Zagg's most portable keyboard for the device.

It offers protection for the ‌iPad‌ without adding too much bulk, and because the keyboard and the case are detachable, it can be used in multiple modes for typing, travel, video watching, and more.

The keyboard can connect to two devices simultaneously, and there's a kickstand with a 100 degree radius. An Apple Pencil holder keeps the ‌Apple Pencil‌ safe when not in use, and the keys are backlit and can be changed to seven colors.

Zagg's Rugged Messenger for the 10.2-inch ‌iPad‌ is more protective, offering a keyboard and a case with better impact protection than the Slim Book Go. Also priced at $99, the case can withstand drops from up to two meters.
