I've decided to go the route of a folio with a separate keyboard instead of a folio with a built in keyboard in order to keep the folio light when I don't need the keyboard.. and to have a good full sized keyboard when I need to type class notes, and for my business trips

i've narrowed it down to these two since i hear the Apple wireless keyboard, despite its good feel, has a tendency to turn itself on more easily and doesn't come with a case.

The cover I intend to get is either the Devicewear "The Ridge" or the "Detour 360", haven't decided on which yet.

Logitech Bluetooth Keyboard

Pros: Feels really nice to type
Cons: Heavier

Pros: light, compact
Cons: may not feel as nice to type on as the Logitech

to make things more complicated, also thinking of a new notebook soon too, could be something light and easy to carry like an MBA 13" or ultrabook.. or leave the light travel stuff to the iPad and get a higher performing notebook.
 
The few times I've needed a keyboard, I just use the Apple keyboard - very happy with it. Haven't had problems with it turning on.

what do you use to transport it in when you carry it around?
i had a friend who used to put it in a zip lock bag and then put it in his back pack.
