Hi there,
We got our key board and such from best buy.
when you open the cover if you will, your I pad fits rite inside this.
I asked for a protective screen so I wouldn't scratch the glass when I 
was looking for the areas I need to work with.
When you are done you fold up the whole thing. place it back in your 
purse or back pack.
Your hands are free.
Hope this helps.
