Levitatr is a Bluetooth keyboard accessory for the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch that features keys which elevate out of the keyboard face. Created by James Stumpf the keyboard is seeking funding from Kickstarter.

Measuring in at only 12.5mm thick, Levitatr is an aluminum Bluetooth keyboard accessory for iPads, iPhones, iPods and other devices. When ready to be used, the keys elevate out of the face of the keyboard and backlighting turns on to illuminate the key lettering. When not in use, the keys can be lowered back into the face of the keyboard and backlighting turns off, making the key lettering disappear. Built into Levitatr is an aluminum precision-machined kickstand (aka ALUMNM™) that folds out and holds virtually every mobile device between a 20 and 30° angle (depending on device thickness).

The project has a goal of $60,000. $9,327 has been pledged thus far with 40 days remaining. A pledge of $79 gets you a Levitatr keyboard.

"Featuring a machined/anodized aluminum chassis, a gloss black polycarbonate face/bottom cover and a machined/anodized built-in ALUMNM kickstand, this unit will be identical to the retail unit (projected retail price is $99). U.S. shipping included (add $15 for international shipping). You will also be able to vote on final Levitatr aspects throughout the development cycle at this level."
