Brydge unveils MacBook-style keyboard case for Apple’s new 10.2-inch iPad

Apple last week introduced an all-new 10.2-inch iPad, and case makers are jumping at the opportunity. Brydge today announced that it is releasing a new wireless keyboard case for the 10.2-inch iPad.

Brydge has become a popular option among iPad users for its MacBook-style keyboard cases. We reviewed the Brydge Pro for the 11-inch iPad Pro earlier this year and were big fans of it.

The new Brydge 10.2-inch keyboard case offers all of the features of other Brydge keyboards. This includes Bluetooth 4.0 for pairing, 12-month battery life, iOS function keys, backlit keys, and more.

The highlight of the Brydge 10.2-inch is its aluminum design, which the company says is “precision engineered out of a single piece of high-grade aluminum.”

The 10.2-inch Brydge keyboard will be available in October in silver, space gray, and gold for $129.99. Of course, the Brydge case faces newfound competition as the 10.2-inch iPad also supports Apple’s own Smart Keyboard, but it’s pricier at $159.

The 10.2-inch iPad was announced last week as a successor to the 9.7-inch iPad from last year. It packs a larger display, support for Apple’s Smart Connector and Apple Pencil, an A10 Fusion processor, and more. It’s available for pre-order now at $329, with the first orders arriving on September 30th.
