The Final Solution (Ihopetogod)

The Incase Apple Keyboard Case arrived this morning (Amazon estimated tomorrow, so I am well pleased). It is a tremendous feat of design - light, simple, effective.
The back of the keyboard clips into the case securely but easily removably. For transit, the case is held together with a couple of velcro tabs. In use, front flap folds back and the velcro tabs attach to each other to make a stand at exactly the right angle. The iPad just drops in place, so you can just lift it out when you want to use it as a tablet. One of the things that really bugs me about keyboard folios is that it takes ages of wrangling to release the iPad for a spot of sofa surfing or whatever.
Now I can type in comfort with full-size keys in the correct positions, and the whole bangshoot including the Smart Cover weighs considerably less than a keypad cover.
If there is bloody something that prevents tech bliss in this arrangement I will be very, very irritated.
PS: The tablet tidy that you can see in the background, hailed a few weeks ago as a Work of Genius, is now blatantly Useless Garbage and will be taken out and chopped up as soon as I can be bothered. Sigh.
