The iPad is a great tablet for many things, whether you're getting your game on or getting serious work done. Just because it's a tablet doesn't mean you have to give up the flexibility of using it like a laptop, after all, the beauty of buying a tablet is that you can have one device capable of doing multiple things well. To that end, last week we asked you which iPad keyboards and cases you thought were the best available. You responded, and we took a look at the five best iPad keyboards and put them to an all-out vote. Now we're back to highlight the winner.

Those of you who voted for it praised its flexibility, battery life, super-thin profile, and the fact that the keys are comfortable to work with but the cover doesn't add a ton of bulk to your tablet.
Behind it in second place, with 17% of the votes cast, was the Zagg Folio, a thicker but more protective option with deeper keys and a full-body case and stand to go with it. In third place was the Logitech Tablet Keyboard, a tiny and portable Bluetooth keyboard in a case that doubles as a tablet stand, with over 15% of the vote. stand, with over 15% of the vote. With close to 12% of the vote, The Brydge took fourth place, shaking off its price point and winning over many of you with its aluminum body, built-in speakers, and tons of useful features. Behind it in fifth though, short by only nine votes, was the full-body ClamCase, coming in with 11% of the votes cast.
