California based accessories maker New Trent has shrunk its popular and well-reviewed iPad keyboard case down to fit iPad Minis — and the mini version is now ruggedized for protection indoors and outdoors. The Airbender Mini features a rubberized exterior with plugs to cover all openings, and is resistant to drops, scratches and splashes, according to New Trent.
Like its bigger brother, the Airbender Mini case also has an integrated screen protector to shield your tablet’s display from scratches and smudges. Also like the larger case, the Mini has a built-in keyboard that connects to your tablet via Bluetooth 2.0. The keyboard is attached by a durable aluminum arm that enables the case to rotate 360 degrees for landscape or portrait viewing angles.
The New Trent Airbender Mini is available now for $39.95 from New Trent and Amazon. On Amazon, New Trent is also offering for a limited time a free New Trent car charger combo-pack (15-watt plus 10-watt, $13.95 value) for micro USB compatible smartphones or tablets when you purchase the combo pack with either the Airbender Mini or original Airbender, or with one of New Trent’s external batteries for iPad or iPhone: iCarrier, iTorch, Chargepak, or Easypak.
