These are some of the best options you'll find to fit out the iPad Air 3. For the combination of protection with a highly-portable keyboard, I'd go with the Apple Smart Keyboard for your iPad. It's an excellent, if pricey, accessory that lets you keep typing without having to worry about the keyboard's battery life or having to pair the keyboard to your iPad.

For smaller budgets, the Logitech Wired Keyboard is a solid option. It's a quality brand with a reputation for top-notch electronics. Clumsy types may prefer to go with something more protective, though, like the Zagg Rugged Messenger that provides both a protective cover and a full keyboard in one rugged case. No matter what you choose, you can't go wrong with this list.
