It is the Belkin lightning keyboard with stand.  The stand doubles as a handle 
for the keyboard.  There is cord storage build-in the rear.  The price was $54 
plus tax.  This same keyboard was $69 on Apple's store I believe.

The other model that I was debating between was the Kinsington.  It did not 
have a stand or media keys, & it was $44.

Both keyboards get good reviews.  They are selling these keyboards mostly for 
school testing purposes.  Lol, the keys are pry-off resistant for kids.  Maybe 
that explains the noisy nature of the keys.

One more thing to point out, the media keys are suppose to work with youTube as 
well.  Pause/play etc.

HTH,
Traci
PS. Typed this on the keyboard. ;)
