ClamCase (www.clamcase.com) has announced the ClamCase iPad mini keyboard case. It offers all of the features of the original ClamCase, such as the patent-pending 360-degree hinge .

The hard polycarbonate plastic shell completely encloses the iPad mini. The on-screen keyboard occupies nearly half the tablet’s display.

ClamCase, when paired with the new iPad mini, offers “the most affordable and portable Mac-laptop experience on the market,” the folks at ClamCase claim. It will be available early 2013; pricing hasn’t been announced.
