Typing is easier if you use the Case (Score 1)

If you use the Apple Case for the iPad's protection, the case can hold the ipad in a typable angle on a desk or even on your lap. The case can also hold it for movie watching (straight up).

I know -- its one more thing to buy and have at one's disposal, but if you want to type a bit then it makes sense to have that case around...
