Must-Have iPad Accessory: iLuv Executive Slim Folio Cover

I got my first glimpse of the iLuv Executive slim folio cover with detachable bluetooth keyboard at CES in January, and knew that it was exactly what I needed for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week this past February. The Executive is heavier than my ultrathin keyboard cover, so I bring it to the city on days where I do less running around or don't have too much to carry with me. It is also great for travel, as I'd rather bring my iPad and folio cover than my laptop. When I'm at home, I like to keep my iPad 4 in the Executive since I prefer to use a keyboard with my iPad, especially when working on emails or blog posts. It's both functionable and fashionable, making my iPad more accessible as a laptop. The folio cover and velvet interior also protect my iPad from scratches and scrapes. 

In addition to the detachable keyboard, the iLuv Executive also has a magnetic closure to keep the iPad securely in place, scissor-type keypad for more responsive typing, dedicated keys for iPad-specific functions and long battery life that lasts up to 30 days on standby. It also comes equipped with a USB port for fast, convenient charging. The iLuv Executive is available at iluv.com for $79.99.
