Contemporary nomadism... that's what we're all about here! Anyone with a mobile lifestyle who's owned one of these bluetooth keyboards from Apple knows of the woes of throwing it in your backpack (along with your iPad or other bluetooth enabled tablet) only to find that the keyboard loves to turn itself on and drain your tablet's battery! I designed this simple little gadget to save the day.

Just cap it over your power button and go! It will fit both sides of the keyboard so you can leave it on keep everything level while typing (the other can also serve as a spare in case the original gets lost).

Additionally, if you need to take out the batteries and don't have a Japanese yen coin available, then you can use the edge of one of these end pieces to unscrew the battery case. Yes, that cool.

Indeed, there are other options available on thingiverse to do this exact same function, but I tried one of them (thanking my lucky stars someone else designed it for me) only to find that the darn thing wouldn't fit. The OD of the keyboard is 17.7mm so I made the spec'd ID of this cap 18.3 (that's 17.7 + .6mm) and it printed out to a nice and perfect snug fit.

If you found this useful, it would bring me great joy to see your work - so be sure to share. :)

Or, better yet, please feel free to dump a bitcoin or two here:

... include a note to the effect of "Hi 3E8, thanks for the keyboard cap thing... my life is infinitely better on account of it and please accept this paltry amount in gratitude".

You're welcome! (in advance) :D
